(Clinton Thug) Pellicano found guilty of racketeering and conspiracy
LA Times ^ | May 15, 2008 | Times Staff Writer

A federal jury has found Los Angeles private detective Anthony Pellicano guilty of racketeering and conspiracy. The verdict, which could mean a penalty of eight to 10 years in federal prison, effectively brings to a close the career of the most infamous private eye in Los Angeles -- a man who insinuated himself into the loftiest legal and entertainment circles in town and even consulted on law enforcement cases, until he became the subject of one.

Pellicano sat grinning and looking around room before the verdicts were read. But when he realized the jury had found him guilty, he crossed his arms, took his glasses off and looked around the courtroom without expression. A woman on the jury dabbed her eyes with a tissue.

What a trial! There was testimony on how this clinton thug could make deaths look like accidents...

I wonder what ever happened to the C-4 explosives they found in his safe?

So, an “Arkancide” was really a “Pellicanocide?” ;)

I dunno, but Obama's Secret Service detail ought to be reallly checking any strange looking cargo getting loaded on to his campaign plane.

Bet that he thought that he was teflon since he was connected to the Clinton machine.

The guy who claimed the Gennifer Flowers tapes were doctored and bought the Clintons just enough time in that scandal.

No mention of Hillary or Bill... How do members of the media look themselves in the mirror?

This guy was Bill and Hillary’s go to guy.

Thanks for the link

per Wikipedia the Clinton's were associated with Jack Palladino not this PI Pellicano. I have gotten them mixed up before.

Doubt it. Remember, we're dealing with the Clintons here - he will probably want to avoid an Oswald type fate.

If Pellicano knows nothing else, he knows the value of keeping his mouth shut.

I would love to see your suggestion come true. Those two deserve to answer for the things they have done.

"No mention of Hillary or Bill... How do members of the media look themselves in the mirror?"

The truth is dead to them when it is outside their political bent. Look that the havoc and death they have visited on our troops and innocent Iraqis and others in their reporting on the war in Iraq (and WOT for that matter). A pox on their dishonest houses...

I listened to the phone call where Pellicano is talking to Chris Rock about a woman he had a problem with and first talking about smearing her and then talking about doing much worse. He not so subtly hinted about killing her.
