After two trials, three sets of attorneys and more than six years, record producer Phil Spector was found guilty of second degree murder for the shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson on Monday. The jury took more than two weeks to reach a guilty verdict (his first trial ended in a deadlock).

While revered for his pioneering “wall of sound” production techniques (used on everyone from Ike & Tina Turner and John Lennon to The Ramones), his guilty verdict caps decades of reclusive eccentricity and violent outbursts—not to mention some outlandish haircuts.
