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."
