The Negotiator
Filed Under Pellicano | Leave a Comment
Lots of people have been asking me for more on the Pellicano story. Take a look at these business cards…real collector’s items now! The first one is what you’d expect. The second one is more revealing. Here is an aspect of this tale that hasn’t gotten its due: Anthony as […]

Well you know what they say, just plan a nice late morning swim and the phone will ring! It did I got my first call from John Connolly, and then Robert Iafolla called and told me that the jury was ready and get to the courthouse by noon — it was already after 11:30 AM. […]

Well, this will be my last day till the VERDICT and the SENTENCING….I just wanted to see the legendary Bert Fields, “The Lawyer Who Never Loses!” I even invited him to lunch, I want to meet him, just as I was friendly with Melvin Belli and Marvin Mitchelson, two legends of the legal world. Say […]

Can this trial get any more insulting? First I pay $8.00 to park my car on Tuesday the 15th of April only to have Chad Hummel stand up and start what was a brilliant attempt to take a shot at a mistrial! Chad has a presence and even as Judge Fischer was trying to […]

Stopped by the courthouse Tuesday hoping to hear Bert Fields on the stand, but there was Mr. Hummel attempting to knock over the chessboard (always a strategy when facing checkmate)!
What? a mistrial? When pigs fly was the attitude this morning! And Judge Fischer was not amused when she had to dismiss the jury. […]

Wrap That Pelican Up!
Filed Under Pellicano | 3 Comments
Well, for me the Pellicano trial is very much winding down, I did stop and visit for a short time on Friday to hear Anthony muddle through his defense strategy. I have always considered Anthony Pellicano as my adversary, and playing fair, I don’t believe that he could compete with me in what […]

My experience with Anita Busch was one that came from the heart in my initial contact, and again that was what I feel. It was a little disconcerting that she had forgotten all of the support I tried to give her, and the advice to try and keep her safe. No, I did […]

Well it must have felt like Christmas in April today for the defense as the Government went from 112 counts to 79! Yeah they say! I guess, but how deep have the prosecutors already dug the hole that may bury the Pelican and his gang of 3? This case was the toughest on Pellicano and […]

Pellicano Trial: The Dead Fish

Anita Busch was called to testify on April 9, 2008 and I am writing about it now as I needed to clear my head and catch my breath! Sometimes people will forget, and sometimes people will re-invent history to what they may believe accurate or not. At one point while telling her story […]

Pellicano Trial: The Pelican and the Nanny
Filed Under Pellicano, Lawyers | 4 Comments
One of the names from my past in this trial is Pamela Miller, I remember speaking to her very briefly when she was represented by Cary Goldstein, Esq. One of the things I recall telling her, as I did with everyone in her situation, was to use disposable phones. No phone bill to […]

We start the morning off listening a recording of Anthony “working” one of his clients. This time it is Mark Cohn, who had problems with the government prosecuting him for all kinds of things! 4 Star Financial Services was in trouble and it would appear that all of this guy’s associates are from “colorful” […]

Pellicano Trial: Chasing Bad Guys
Filed Under Pellicano | Leave a Comment
Pellicano has not recovered yet from the pain of his one time “son” Wayne Reynolds kicking his feathered ass! He stood in court this morning prior to the jury coming in and stated in open court and to the judge that he wanted the government to fingerprint his Pelican Cases (these are cases for carrying […]

The old expression when it rains it pours was alive and well in Judge Dale Fischer’s court room today! Again Desperateexes.com is as relevant in this trial as I ever thought it could be. I have never seen so many desperate women in my life! Divorce is tough, and it is very […]

Chris Rock: No Apologies, Many Regrets
Filed Under Pellicano | 4 Comments
Friday, April 5. It is almost 8:05 AM and Chris Rock teeters into the room…he walks as if he is approaching an electric chair. You cannot hear, “I do,” as in to tell the truth, and he sits like a 4th grader having to go and tinkle….he may be funny at times, but he is […]

The government’s first witness of Thursday morning is Wayne Donald Reynolds, who tells us that he has something to do with protecting Conde Naste’s intellectual property, and it would appear he learned a lot hanging around “pops!” More on this a little later! Oh you won’t believe it — daughters, sons, Happy Ray, Da Sarge, […]
