Illegal wiretapping by Pellicano alleged
Copley News Service ^ | 1/23/6 | Matt Krasnowski

LOS ANGELES – After months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering, a federal probe into the alleged illegal wiretapping activities of private investigator to the stars Anthony Pellicano appears to be ready for its close-up.

Prosecutors revealed recently that Pellicano's former girlfriend and a veteran police officer pleaded guilty to charges in connection with the investigation.

The girlfriend, Sandra Will Carradine, 58 – once married to actor Keith Carradine – pleaded guilty to a perjury count for lying to a grand jury about whether she knew about Pellicano tapping her former husband's phone.

Former Beverly Hills police Officer Craig Stevens, 45, of Oak Park admitted that Pellicano paid him for confidential information he obtained from law enforcement databases, prosecutors said.

The charges provide a glimpse into a three-year investigation that many believe could implicate some of Los Angeles' top lawyers in Pellicano's wiretapping activities.

Pellicano has worked for some of the biggest legal names in Los Angeles and some of the world's biggest celebrities, including Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson.

A source familiar with the investigation said there are more charges coming in the not-too-distant future.

"It's like a rollout in the movie business," said former Pellicano defense lawyer Victor Sherman, comparing the Carradine and Stevens charges to the way some movies are premiered. "You know, they start small in 10 theaters, then later they'll go wide in 1,000."

Said lawyer Peter Knecht, who represents Sandra Carradine: "It's going to hit the fan soon."

He was also the one the Clintons hired to harrass all Bill's women!

Pellicano will never cooperate and as usual, without him the big fish won't get caught. He's been McDougaled and knows his days are numbered if he says a word.

Boy, I sure hope the cops don't decrypt Billy and Hilly's conversations with this thug.

If they do, Hilly will never be president.

He might be much safer if he sings like a bird. The FOBs who became public figures are pretty much still all alive. Not so with those who kept quiet.

Now it's fairly clear how the Clintons got onto him. Their Hollywood friends told Hillary how useful he could be and about the level of his ethics. After all, he wasn't keeping those grenades to blow up stumps on a farm he owned.

I did a search on him after reading an article on FR a week or 2 ago. Came up w this Web site which has a lot of detailed info on his 'work' and contacts.

Pellicano should have used the "I was listening for terrorist activities" defense.

He also worked for Bill&Hill!

I wonder if anything will come out, in court, about his terrorizing women, for the Clintons.

I couldn't get through to the rest of the story. Is there any mention of Pellicano's relationship with Terry Lenzner and the Clinton dirt machine?

Yep. I'm sure Pellicano understands what "Arkancide" is.

Given his unique set of skills for dealing with confidential matters, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has direct, personal knowledge of how Vince Foster committed "suicide."
