And the band played on, what is going on? I am probably more confused now as to the criminal justice system than when I started my career many years ago! Now I know that the system is good, and for the most part works. The prosecutors on this case are right on […]

Well I heard it before I saw it. Teresa Wright came into the court and it seemed she was “welling” up, and as she stated her name you could hear the emotion in her voice.   This woman had a great job with the phone company, but unlike “Happy Ray” never got a chance to retire.  […]

Well, here it is Thursday and I am eating breakfast in the Federal Court House cafeteria, my $1.65 bowl of oatmeal! Yes, this is were the bigshots hang out and eat gruel. Again my hat comes off to the many reporters who have done stories, oh my and the hard work that […]

Having dived into this project for my readers, I have to tell you being a “reporter” is tough. You sit and you listen, and you sit and listen some more! And then you try and make chicken soup our of chicken shit! The hours are sooooo bad, my day now starts at […]

Wednesday was really tedious technical stuff, so here is more entertainment from Tuesday. Just when you think that the silly level has gotten as high as it will go, here comes Robert J. Pfeifer. Mr. Pfeifer was a hotshot Hollywood Records exec and onetime lead singer of a group called the Human Switchboard…I […]

Movie producer Charles Victor Roven (Batman Begins, Three Kings) comes in next on Tuesday, and he sits and listens with us to Exhibit 54a, a recording of his former partner, director John McTiernan (Diehard, Predator) telling Anthony Pellicano that Roven is a “rich fuck-up” and “is what he is”. That had to hurt. […]

Well after a three day break in the fun and games of the Pellicano trial, aka “Omerta is dead,” we were met Tuesday morning by a gentleman named Peter L. Knecht, Esquire. His client and friend is a guy named Bilal Barody…a guy who is claimed to live almost everywhere and then again nowhere. […]

This being the Easter Holiday weekend, I was reflecting on the events of the last two weeks, and wondering whether if I were in trouble, in litigation as a defendant or lawyer, what would I do? Being that I was baptized a Catholic and did attend as a child, and spent years in churches […]

Captain George Mueller with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office was next up, and this guy was right out of central casting! He is with my old friend’s unit ( Chief Steve Simonian), Bureau of Criminal Investigations. Captain Mueller spoke of an investigation of fraudulent passports involving Christopher Rocancourt — this was the little […]

Tapping a phone is illegal??  During her testimony, Ms. Susan Macguire told the court that yes, she heard her husband talking to her shrink and “crying” and “in distress.”  This was upsetting to her then, and it looked as if it was still as she spoke about the events leading her to be sitting in […]

Laura Buddine was called to testify this afternoon, she has a background in computer games and off it goes from there! In the course of her work she and a Dr. Charles Lull made friends and got caught up in cyber/computer BS! And like all good relationships, The Buddine ends hating the Doctor […]

The court will not be in session on Friday the 21st and Monday the 24th. Everyone needs a break and I do mean everyone. It will give Anthony Pellicano a chance to get back his “soft-spoken” persona, as the “old asshole” Tony is leaking through his act.
But there was plenty happening today! […]

Holy Shit! Unless you’re Sir Paul’s wife, guess what — you may need to get a job! The other day in Commissioner Gordon’s Court, “The Big Div 88″, former sweethearts showed up with their lawyers and asked for a “vocational evaluation.” You can file this under OH NO! This is a process […]

Over the years I have worked with some of the finest lawyers in Los Angeles, and after sitting at the Pellicano trial I see, without exception, a common element in them! All of the lawyers that I work with have always told me to do whatever I could within the guidelines of the law, […]

Anthony Pellicano met his match this morning in court when Ms. Jude Green showed up. She was dressed very nicely and her hair was flawless, a class act here folks! Her husband was one Leonard Green, he was involved in the Rite Aid fiasco and the loss of millions. And he was […]
