Bruce Cutler says goodbye

The high-profile attorney brought in from New York to help defend Phil Spector against a murder charge abruptly quit the case as it wound to a close, over a disagreement about the closing statement to the jury.

Bruce Cutler issued a statement saying in part: "I do not agree with the strategy which will be employed in presenting the defense in this case to the jury on summation. I can no longer effectively represent my client under those conditions."
