De Souza replied: "Yes, a little bit."

Brunon also explained to the court that De Souza originally told police officers Spector said "I think I shot somebody" - a slight but important variation on what he said in his testimony earlier this month.

He also showed him a transcript of a police interview given less that 24 hours after the shooting, in which he was asked if he could recall Spector's exact words.

In the statement, De Souza said: "I think so. I think, I'm not sure. It's my English."

Spector, 67, denies murder and his lawyers claim Clarkson accidentally shot herself.
