Guilty?!?!
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | 6 Comments
The last few days of this case were almost like an episode of Benny Hill, and I cannot be the only who feels this way…this would have been at least a “hung jury.” I have received dozens of phone calls as to what I feel now as to my being wrong as to the guilty […]

Dedication is all I have to say… I was at the Federal Court House with one of my “new best friends”…she always dresses very well and even tossed me a snack once. We got our coffee and took the elevator to the 8th floor. Glaser is there already (I have a feeling that she keeps […]

Christensen Trial: the ball’s in the jury’s hands now
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | 2 Comments
Weds. AM: Well, the expression is that payback is a bitch and Mr. Saunders, the federal prosecutor, was paying back. The system is rigged so that after the defense does their closing statement the prosecution get the last word…need I say more. When you think of it this really stinks, Mr. Saunders gets to pick […]

Christensen Trial: Down the Rabbit Hole!
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | Leave a Comment
Poor Judge Dale Fischer must be wondering if she slipped into an abyss and is in a land with BIG Bunnies running around wearing even bigger funny hats! And there she sits with her Bench, Robes and Gavel…but it is not…she is in her courtroom and she is very much awake!
It all started when Terree […]

Laurel and Hardy stayed in bed this morning and were not in Dale Fischer’s court, not today. Let there never be any question that Saunders and Lally are federal prosecutors. Having enjoyed Saunders and Lally gut and dress the Pelican gang, I know when Daniel Saunders hits a cadence. And he had a cadence this […]

Please Help Me Help the Marines!
Filed Under Security | Leave a Comment
For the last few years I have been given the honor to be a guest at one of the United States Marine Corps balls. If you have never been to any Marine Corps function, try and attend at least one before you die! Many of the men and women who work for me are Marines, […]

Did you just beep? Shhh…

Today’s article by Victoria Kim of the Los Angeles Times touches on some interesting thoughts. What Anthony Pellicano did was nothing short of a time bomb waiting to go off: recording people without their knowledge and keeping those recordings for some “future” use. I am still not sure why, I hope that someday Anthony will […]

Christensen Trial: the Defense Rests
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | Leave a Comment
The defense has rested and a better job you could not have paid for. We all understand the accusations and they are serious. Bad things did happen to good people. However, everyone in this country is entitled and guaranteed a defense, even lawyers! My dear friend, Neville L. Johnson, Esquire who is representing several victims […]

Kerkorian for the Defense

When I arrived at the courthouse this morning, the cameras rushed to my car. I told my driver that they would be very disappointed when the door opened, and they were…it was me, not the star mogul of the day.
Ms. Glaser was present with a few other members of “the” firm, a united front is […]

Terry Christensen: the Defense pitches an FBI curveball
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | Leave a Comment
This morning we heard from the FBI in the somewhat surprising role of expert defense witnesses: former agents Mr. Bruce E. Koenig and his sidekick Douglas S. Lacey. Mr. Koenig was a Supervising Special Agent and worked in the audio field for many years; Mr. Lacey was an electronics engineer. Both were very impressive while […]

Christensen’s innocence or guilt is irrelevant as to what the rules of the game are. And I think that the defense has done what they set out to do: create reasonable doubt.
The only sand in the vaseline, the fly in the ointment, the shit on your sandal or Pelican stuck in your ass is Anthony […]

No, the trial isn’t over, the defense team doesn’t even start their side until Tuesday, but that’s my prediction.
This may catch some by surprise but here I go. For those who don’t know, I started my career as a criminal defense investigator in San Francisco many years ago. I was getting $30 an hour and […]

Wonder why your phone bill is going up? Read on (it ain’t for the service…)
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | 3 Comments
Listening to Glaser take apart Lopez yesterday, it became crystal clear that the phone company could have found out where those taps went and chose not too. “They were too busy”…hmmm, or was it the liability…with Pellicano’s technology and happy tappy Ray Turner on the inside and the lack of security at the central office […]

Arrived a little late this morning to the Christensen trial in hopes of not seeing the Pelican do his “dig me” routine. He stated on one of the tapes yesterday that “no one intimidates me”…I am now a believer, based on the fact that he just cannot shut up.
The Christensen legal team is kicking ass […]

Meanwhile, back at the Terry Christensen trial
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | 2 Comments
Back at the Terry Christensen trial at the federal building and it feels almost homey: the woman who cooks in the cafeteria and will smile only once in awhile, the security detail outside the courtroom — a better bunch of guys you cannot find — and of course the great one herself, Judge Dale Fischer!
As […]
