Phil Spector's homicide trial ended this afternoon in a mistrial, with the DA's office vowing to try again. The final count was reportedly 10-2 in favor of conviction. Earlier, the jury had been stuck on 7-5. So they deliberated for eleven-plus days without reaching a verdict. Linda Deutsch, LAT, NBC4, CBS2, ABC7
