Jurors were given two days off at the start of the week (beg30Mar09) but continued deliberations on Wednesday (01Apr09) were put on hold when a member of the panel became unwell.
The judge suspended the trial to Thursday (02Apr09).
The jury was handed the case last week (26Mar09) after a six-month trial.
Spector, 69, faces 18 years behind bars if he's convicted of the second-degree murder of actress Lana Clarkson.
Clarkson died from a gunshot wound in the foyer of Spector's Alhambra, California mansion in February, 2003.
Spector's defence team claims the actress shot herself.
