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.

Jesus or Pellicano?
Filed Under private investigators, Pellicano, Lawyers | 2 Comments
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 […]
