An NBC producer who was researching the murder case against music producer Phil Spector has landed on the jury, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The producer for Dateline NBC wrote in a jury questionnaire that he has read many court documents in the case and has met a defense expert in forensics.

Dallas jury consultant Robert Hirschhorn told the newspaper it’s unusual for someone with such knowledge of the case to be seated, but a journalist can be an open-minded juror.

Prosecutors say Spector shot and killed actress Lana Clarkson, who was found dead in his home.
