The Westin Bonaventure Hotel and Suites alleged the defendants agreed in a written contract to reserve rooms for the duration of the trial. The lawsuit claims that by the time Spector was acquitted in September, the defendants owed the hotel more than $104,000. The producer faces a second trial in the murder of actress Lana Clarkson at his home in 2003. He is known for his "Wall of Sound" recording technique.
The Westin Bonaventure, in downtown Los Angeles, claims the 68-year-old, his wife and agent Jennifer Lee Barringer signed a contract to book rooms in the hotel for the duration of the five-month trial, which ended in a hung jury.By the end of the trial in September, they owed $104,000 for the rooms, according to the lawsuit which alleges fraud and breach of contract and seeks to recoup the entire bill plus interest. When the hotel asked Spector to pay the balance, he said he would if he got a "drastic discount of the outstanding balance", according to the suit.
