Pellicano Gets Got
So Pellicano was found GUILTY today… shocker.
Defending himself in court, he basically pleaded guilty, repeatedly crying, “I vant to tap alone!”
The story here remains… they never got the goods.
A one-eyed monkey with a limp could prove that Pellicano tapped phones illegally. The YEARS of this endless whinny saga was not intended to get Pellicano. The government was after the bigger fish, starting with Bert Fields and Brad Grey… and got bupkiss (aka Pellicano).
With 76 charges against him… how much more time will Anthony Pellicano get after living in jail for quite a while now?
And will anyone really care? Did you get the impression that any of the celebrities trotted out to testify and make this look like it was worth all the effort really could give two excremental releases?
Pellicano kept his mouth shut. Fields kept his mouth shut. Case closed.
The only hanging thread is the embarrassing harrassment prosecutions by the US government against small fish in this case like John McTiernan and Robert Pfeifer. The government has acknowledged openly that McTiernan’s bad behavior was lying to someone who told him over the phone that he was an FBI agent. REALLY? Is that what stands as a prosecutable offense in this country? Not telling the truth to someone who tells you that they are a member of law enforcement? No wonder so many little old ladies and gentlemen are giving their pension checks to phone con men. In fact… isn’t that really a Pellicano-esque game?
Okay… next! Thanks for the rancid fish.
