Los Angeles -- Imprisoned private investigator Anthony Pellicano said Wednesday he rejected numerous attempts by federal prosecutors to negotiate a plea bargain in his Hollywood wiretap case because he didn't want to break the trust of celebrities, lawyers and other former clients.
"At least 10 times in this case I've been offered a plea bargain. It's not going to happen," Pellicano told The Associated Press in a phone interview from federal prison.
Pellicano said he intended to remain silent, even though Hollywood is infested with "great white sharks" who don't play by the rules and constantly lie to get what they want.
Pellicano, 62, has pleaded not guilty to racketeering and wiretapping charges and is scheduled for trial next year.
He is the accused ringleader of a wiretapping scheme used to get dirt to aid clients in legal disputes. Prosecutors said Pellicano enlisted the aid of law enforcement and phone company employees by bribing them to collect information.
Scant details of the operation have been released. But prosecutors contend Pellicano illegally wiretapped Sylvester Stallone and had police officers run the names of more than 60 people, including comedians Garry Shandling and Kevin Nealon, through government databases.

Vanity Fair did a great article a few months ago on this. Really fascinating case.

Obviously hitlery has made it worth his while in an off-shore account to be her patsy and take the fall for her. One of these days she's not going to cover her tracks so good and I hope it's soon. That witch needs to be behind bars doing hard time for all the misery she's caused people and her so called evil spouse.

is jail a safer place to be?? It wasn't for Jim McDougal. I hope Pellicano doesn't have any medication he needs to survive.
