| Mr.
Pellicano has plead innocent to a 112 count indictment handed down in
federal court where
he and thirteen others are accused of crimes that include
racketeering and conspiracy, wiretapping, identity theft, witness
tampering and destruction of evidence.
He is being held without bail in LA County. The indictment comes
after Pellicano finished serving his 30 month month sentence for
illegal weapons possession. An attorney,
Terry Christensen,who
used Pellicano has also been implicated in the
wiretapping scandal in a new ammended indictment. Six people
have already plead guilty in the federal investigation and are
co-operating with the prosecutors. Assistant U.S. Attorney, Kevin
Lally, has indicated that more indictments are forthcoming in the next
few months before jury selection begins. Mr. Pellicano now has asked the court if he may represent himself in the case after he fired his second attorney, Victor sherman and hired Stephen Gruel, a retired federal prosecutor and San Francisco defense attorney. His first attorney had been Bert Field's first criminal attorney as well, Donald Re. Sources say that Mr. Pellicano's funds have run dry and that his current defense is being paid for by one of his former A-list employers. If convicted, he will serve up to 20 years for each charge. The Los Angeles Times has featured prominently in the reporting of recent current events about Mr. Pellicano. Interestingly though, they have still failed to publicly disclose the extent of their own newspaper's prior involvement with the investigator. Sources say that the in house counsel for the Times had frequently used Mr. Pellicano's services in the past. There is still an investigative Grand Jury ongoing in Los Angeles probing wiretap and extortion issues with Mr. Pellicano and many of his celebrity clients and further indictments are expected over the next few months. Assistant U.S. attorneys Daniel Saunders and Kevin Lally continue to head the Pellicano investigation and prosecution (213)892-2272 . Stanley Ornellas and Stephan Tidwell are the FBI agents in Los Angeles still working the case (310)996-4305. |
