Pellicano Trial: Tappity tap
Filed Under Pellicano | Leave a Comment
Tap Tap Tap Tap me, whatever pain or harm a wiretap can bring is nothing compared to the financial rewards that can land in the victim’s bank accounts. There is not one doubt in my mind that I was “listened to” during the days of Anthony Pellicano’s reign of terror. I say this […]

Another PI goes down as the lawyers keep on rolling

Almost 19 years ago, I can remember vividly as if it were just yesterday, I was a new ticket-carrying private investigator (ticket was what the old timers called their license). I was working the panel for San Francisco Superior Court and worked for around $27 an hour. You would work with a […]

The earth shook in Los Angeles last night while I was seated at my favorite table at Club Cicada in downtown. Then I was tossed out of bed this morning and I could not understand why….was I dreaming? There were legal papers by the thousands flying out of windows of a high rise in Century […]

Pellicano Trial: The Final Sentence
Filed Under Pellicano | 3 Comments
Well it’s off to the Federal Court House as this is the day that Mr. Kevin Kachikian gets his ass handed to him….so I thought. Again I was correct, there were no U.S.Marshals sitting in the courtroom waiting and it was then I realized that he was not going to jail…not today anyway.
Adam Braun, Kevin’s […]

Today in Judge Dale Fischer’s court was like “batter up”…batter up as in “smack the ball!” And smack the ball Dale Fischer did, again and again. Ray Earl Turner was the first to fall. This guy had a criminal history that makes one wonder how did he keep a job at the phone company? He […]

Pellicano Trial: The Big Payoff?
Filed Under Pellicano | Leave a Comment
Someone kindly brought to my attention that I am not much of an “investigative reporter,” no shit! The person who made that observation is also not a genius, so we will consider the source. There are times that I can walk past a chicken farm and not find a feather, but I can certainly smell […]

Well it is reported that Fiorentino is writing a screenplay about Anthony Pellicano…hmm, all I can say is that you are a little late, “Miss Thing.” Linda, you may want to go on the speaking circuit, you know, go to police and […]

Was that an earthquake that hit Washington, D.C.? Hell no, that was just my former hero J. Edgar Hoover spinning in his grave. The Washington Post reports that a seasoned veteran of the F.B.I. has been indicted for slipping anchovies to The Pelican in the form of dirt illegally accessed from FBI computers (see the […]

Will Pellicano and Crew ever be sentenced? This is becoming a little like a bad meal that keeps giving hours after eating it! Or one of those horror flicks that the villain after getting hit with bombs, being blown to pieces and being finely chopped in a blender keeps returning. Yup, “The King of Omerta” […]

Pellicano Trial: More Victim (and not-so-victim) Letters
Filed Under Terry Christensen Trial, Pellicano | Leave a Comment
Anita Busch, one of the shortest letters and this is the woman that brought the Pelican crashing down to earth! I was with Ms. Busch in the early days of this terrible crime drama…I saw first hand what it did to her, no we are not best friends but I do recall offering to sleep […]
