Private investigator Anthony Pellicano and attorney Terry Christensen were found guilty, guilty, guilty today of illegally wiretapping the ex-wife of billionaire Kirk Kerkorian.
Christensen was Kirk Kerkorian’s lawyer, digging up the dirt during a nasty divorce. He hired Pellicano, who was known to get the goods.
I know this stuff is important, but it is the essence of anti-climax. This trial was supposed to turn Hollywood upside-down; supposed to doom the career of power attorney Bert Fields (remember?); supposed to undo dozens of verdicts in high-profile cases in which Pellicano played a role.
In the end, Pellicano wouldn’t talk.
