Talk:Murder of Lana Clarkson

BBC Documentary
Since this article mentions the movie about the trial, should it not also at least briefly mention the 2008 BBC Documentary Phil Spector The agony and the ecstasy, by Vikram Jayanti, an arts program that also deals extensively with the run-up to the first trial? It already has a paragraph in our Phil Spector bio article (tho not in the bit about the murder, so readers interested in the murder may miss it). However I'm just asking the question, as I'm not sure about the answer, so quite likely I'll leave that to other editors (per WP:NOTCOMPULSORY and WP:BNO). Tlhslobus (talk) 17:47, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Ilovetopaint. I've now added a shorter version of what was said in our Spector bio article (mostly removing much of the detail about his music, as not really relevant here, though mentioning it enough to avoid giving the reader the mistaken impression that the movie is only about the trial).

 * Given the murky cicumstances in which Clarkson died, I suggest the article should be called "Death of Lana Clarkson." Sardaka (talk) 08:18, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Disputed
I've added a "disputed" tag because I spot checked two quotes and neither one was in the cited source. I suspect someone has added a bunch of made-up material to this article. The whole thing should be checked against sources. GA-RT-22 (talk) 18:17, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

The tag has been removed, but the problem remains. Most of this article is made up. Maybe Template:Verify sources would be a better tag? GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:13, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Clarification on gun
The murder section says the driver claimed. The very next sentence is. Both claims are cited, so how can this be? Were the driver's claims found to be false? Was Spector holding the gun while wearing gloves? Were his fingerprints somehow removed between the time he came out of the house and the gun was taken into evidence? The citation for the lack of fingerprints actually uses the phrase "the supposed murder weapon did not carry any of his fingerprints" - could the gun the driver saw him holding be different than the one used to kill Clarkson?

 * The wording in the article implies that the guns mentioned in the two sentences are the same gun. But the sources don't say that. So I've changed the wording. Another possibility is that he was not holding a gun when he came out of the house. GA-RT-22 (talk) 04:37, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
