LOS ANGELES - Phil Spector's murder trial finally brought the jury to the moment of actress Lana Clarkson's death when his driver calmly testified that he heard a "pow" as he waited outside the record producer's mansion.

Spector then stepped out of his home with a gun in his hand and said: "I think I killed somebody," the driver, Adriano de Souza, said on Tuesday.

De Souza said when he asked what happened, Spector shrugged and De Souza then looked past him into the foyer.

"I saw the legs of the lady. I stepped inside and I saw the blood on her face," he said.

De Souza had earlier driven Spector on a night on the town.

Clarkson died immediately from a bullet fired into her mouth. The defence claims she killed herself. - Sapa-AP
