LOS ANGELES — An empty brandy snifter. A pair of false eyelashes. A Viagra tablet. A bloodstained revolver.

Jurors at Phil Spector's murder trial Tuesday viewed an array of items seized from the legendary music producer's mansion, each a potential clue in the mystery of an actress's death.

What the actress, Lana Clarkson, and Spector did and said is well documented for most of the February 2003 evening she died. But what occurred between 3 a.m., when the pair stepped alone into his palatial home, and 5 a.m., when a gunshot shattered the quiet of Spector's estate, is unknown and at the crux of the trial.

Spector, 67, who is facing a possible life sentence, says Clarkson, 40, shot herself. Prosecutors claim he killed her in the foyer after she tried to leave the home.

Photos displayed for jurors by the homicide detective who supervised the search of the defendant's residence suggested the encounter may have been fueled by sexual desire and alcohol. (VIDEO)

An empty liter of tequila was found on a coffee table in Spector's living room. Nearby was a snifter, half-full with an unidentified type of liquor. In a powder room off the foyer, detectives found a second snifter, empty and resting on the sink, and a pair of false eyelashes.

Witnesses have said Spector was drunk before he entered the mansion. Tests of Clarkson's blood showed an alcohol level of 0.12, above the legal limit to drive.

Detective Mark Lillienfeld said that he found a "three-pack" of Viagra in a leather valise engraved "PS" on a chair just a few feet from Clarkson's body. Two of the pills were gone from the packaging. A chauffeur previously testified that Spector came out of the house to retrieve the briefcase from his Mercedes shortly after he and Clarkson entered the house.

Lillienfeld said the same leather bag also contained a DVD of a 1950 noir movie, "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye," starring James Cagney. The chauffeur, Adriano DeSouza, told a grand jury that Clarkson and Spector watched the movie in the back of the luxury sedan as it sped toward the mansion.

Much of Lillienfeld's testimony concerned ammunition and guns recovered from the mansion, including the Colt Cobra revolver that claimed Clarkson's life. The detective said the weapon was found on the floor under Clarkson's left leg. She was right-handed.

Lifting the revolver out of a yellow evidence envelope and holding it toward the jury, Lillienfeld recalled seeing wet blood and the words "38 SPECIAL" engraved on the gun handle.

Phil Spector looked on Tuesday as his lawyer, Bradley Brunon, addressed the judge during his murder trial.

Several jurors leaned forward in their seats to get a better look at the weapon. The detective noted that inside a partially opened drawer in a bureau in the foyer was an empty gun holster that matched the Colt revolver.

"That holster fits a two-inch .38-caliber revolver. It's manufactured for that purpose," he said.

Spector had 12 guns in his house at the time of the shooting, but a judge ruled that eight of them are irrelevant to the case. Prosecutors were permitted to display two handguns found in a closet in the master bedroom because they were loaded with unique Smith & Wesson "+p" ammunition also found in the gun that killed Clarkson. Prosecutors contend this proves the gun was Spector's.

They also showed jurors an unloaded 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from the master bedroom. An ex-girlfriend previously told jurors Spector used such a gun to chase her from his home.

Deputy District Attorney Patrick Dixon questioned Lillienfeld about the number of phones in Spector's home. The detective said he found more than a dozen, including a landline and two cellphones just a few steps from Clarkson's body. Spector did not phone 911 for help after the shooting.

Testimony resumes Wednesday morning.
