The murder trial of famed record producer Phil Spector is set to open this Wednesday in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. The legendary rock and roll music producer is charged with killing actress Lana Clarkston at his Alhambra mansion February 3rd 2003.

The presiding Judge, Larry Paul Fidler, has agreed that cameras will be allowed in the courtroom and the trial will be televised. Judge Fidler said that he believed it was time to be able move on from the OJ Simpson murder trial. "We have to get by that case," he said. "There's going to come a timethat it will be commonplace to televise trials. If it had not been for Simpson, we'd be there now," Fidler concluded.

It looks like the judge will be getting more than he bargained for with media coverage. The story of how the case is ultimately decided by the jury, will get an even closer inside media look when all is said and done.

Turns out of the jurors selected to serve on the 9 man 3 woman jury, one is none other than a Senior Producer of NBC's newsmagazine Dateline.

The Enterprise Report can report exclusively that the NBC Dateline producer is ADAM GORFAIN, a 41 year old Senior Producer working for NBC News out of its Burbank studios.

Gorfain, a Harvard grad, previously worked for ABC News and other print media outlets before coming to California in 2003 to cover the Michael Jackson molestation case for NBC. Gorfain and his wife, a former NBC Dateline producer herself reside in the Pasadena area of Southern California.

According to Gorfain's own admission he's been working on the Spector case for months. In his juror questionnaire released by the court last Friday Gorfain wrote that "for several months, I have been assigned to this case for NBC News as a senior producer," and informed the court that he had already read numerous court documents in the case. He also pointed out that he was not new to high profile celebrity criminal cases due to his professional experience. He told the court that he had experience covering high profile trials, "I have covered Simpson, Jackson and worked on many others," Gorfain stated.

Just how and why Gorfain was selected to serve on the jury remains a mystery. It could be the defense may have been very interested in Gorfain's professional work related to DNA evidence and reliability of crime labs.

The Enterprise Report has exclusively unearthed copies of two broadcast Dateline NBC reports overseen by Gorfain which aired nationally in 1999 and in 2005 in which Gorfain, acting as a senior producer of the stories, took issue with the veracity and reliability of the DNA labs around the country and the conviction of a suspect in a New York murder case. The DNA broadcast reports examined the reliability of forensic evidence in crime laboratories, and found that these labs were understaffed, under funded and overworked. In one case, the lab had a history of allegations of shoddy work, such as falsification of reports and inferior work.

As for the ethical and credibility concerns of a working television journalist already covering a story and then sitting on a jury in the case, Gorfain, like the others jurors have already been instructed to refrain from discussing the case and watching or listening to media coverage of the case while serving on the jury. Once the case is over that prohibition will no longer apply to Gorfain's participation on the jury and Gorfain is not the only NBC employee on the Spector jury. The other is an electrician at the company's Burbank studios.

The Enterprise Report sought comment from NBC News and sought a copy of the NBC standards and practices guidelines to review for this story, but our requests to the network were not responded to in time for publication.
