One of Spector's victims dies

Dianne Ogden, a longtime music talent coordinator, was one of four women who testified in Phil Spector's murder trial (which ended in a mistrial) that he had threatened her with a gun and demanded sex from her at a party. She reportedly died at home in Park City, Utah on Dec. 29 at the age of 61. DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said Ogden's death should not affect the upcoming retrial. AP
