Redundant Charges?

Although this case doesn't involve people of color
in a major role I still thought it might interest you
as much as it has me. The case involves a Hollywood
private investigator and the way he was getting his
information through illegal wiretaps which is a federal
offense. Now out of the clear blue sky the government
has decided to drop 28 or half the charges in the case.
See this all goes to show ya how the deck can be stacked
against you!


A federal judge granted a prosecution request today to dismiss 28 charges against private investigator Anthony Pellicano and a co-defendant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Dan Saunders said the government made the request because some of the alleged victims weren't available to testify and other counts were redundant. More than 35 charges remain against Pellicano and former Los Angeles police Sgt. Mark Arneson.

The dropped counts mostly involved wire fraud that authorities had alleged involved Arneson searching law enforcement databases for Pellicano.

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer came as prosecutors prepared to end their portion of the trial.
