A fifth woman will be allowed to testify that music producer Phil Spector pulled guns on them and threatened them in the past.

The judge Tuesday rejected defense arguments that the evidence is too old to be relevant to the fatal shooting of actress Lana Clarkson and is cumulative when added to the testimony of the four other women.

Devra Robitaille told investigators that one night Spector placed a shotgun or rifle against her forehead when she tried to leave the producer's home after a party. Robitaille said she told Spector to "knock that off and put that away," and he eventually let her leave.

A prosecutor argued that the evidence is significant in an effort to prove that Spector murdered Clarkson.

Defense attorneys say that Clarkson was despondent over her failing career and shot herself.
