Attorney Sentenced To Three Years In Pellicano Case
Posted by Bill on November 25, 2008
A prominent Los Angeles attorney was sentenced Monday to three years in federal prison and fined $250,000 for conspiring with Hollywood private investigator Anthony Pellicano to wiretap billionaire Kirk Kerkorian’s former wife. See LA Times Story. Christensen’s attorney argued for a sentence of confinement in Christensen’s Beverly Hills home. Nice if you can get it. The judge did not buy into this unique alternative sentencing, however.
Prosecutors said Christensen hired Pellicano to wiretap Kerkorian’s ex-wife, Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, who was seeking $320,000 in monthly child support for her then-4-year-old daughter, to gain an edge in the high-stakes legal battle.
Remember professional investigators do not break the law to accomplish a job. When you hire a private investigator you should emphasize that the investigator act in a legal and appropriate manner. You do not want to go to jail, and you do not want to be in the headlines of the Washington Post.
