Los Angeles, CA --

The jury in Phil Spector’s murder retrial has signaled it has reached a verdict.

The Los Angeles Superior Court jury buzzed the courtroom three times at late morning Monday.

The court clerk says the verdict will be read no earlier than 2 PM PDT.

Spector is charged with murdering “Barbarian Queen” actress Lana Clarkson in 2003.

The case went to the jury March 26 but there were repeated interruptions including juror illnesses.

Spector’s first trial ended in 2007 with a 10-2 jury deadlock. The majority favored conviction.
