January 9. 2008

In news that's sure to scare the life out of Hollywood, indicted wiretapping private investigator Anthony Pellicano will be representing himself at trial, which is a bad idea in a criminal case. Talk about shooting fish in a barrel.

Side Bar: Is the electric chair an option in this case. Just checking.

Pellicano has done work for clients such as Madonna, Tom "Xenu" Cruise, O.J. Simpson, Brad Grey and Die Hard director John McTiernan, who has already been sentenced to jail in the case.

Pellicano to Represent Self in Trial

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday reluctantly allowed Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano to take over as his own lawyer in his trial on charges of illegally wiretapping celebrities.

U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer told Pellicano it was a bad decision but he was required by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling to allow the private investigator to do so if he insisted. http://ap.google.com/article
