LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- With his murder trial six months away, music producer Phil Spector was ordered by a judge Monday to disclose whether he discussed the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson with his former personal assistant.
The ruling pertains to a lawsuit filed by the assistant, Michelle Blaine, alleging sexual harassment and wrongful termination. Her suit is scheduled to go to trial after Spector's criminal case concludes.
Blaine filed her case against Spector after he sued her for embezzlement.
She claimed she was fired because she refused to promise not to talk to prosecutors about what Spector might have told her about the shooting death of Clarkson at his mansion.
In answering written questions for the suit, Spector denied killing Clarkson but he refused to disclose whether he discussed the death with Blaine. He invoked his right under the Fifth Amendment.
Superior Court Judge Mark V. Mooney said Spector waived that right when he answered the question of whether he killed Clarkson.
Neither Spector nor Blaine attended Monday's court hearing.
Spector also answered no when asked if he offered to marry Blaine or pay her to keep her quiet.
Spector is free on $1 million bail as he awaits his January 16 murder trial.
