Pellicano Trial Update

And the band played on, what is going on? I am probably more confused now as to the criminal justice system than when I started my career many years ago!
Now I know that the system is good, and for the most part works. The prosecutors on this case are right on top of their game and seldom if ever miss a beat!
But can anyone explain to me the issue of “immunity”?
Some government witnesses have shown up charged and are cooperating and testifying against their former hero, both employees and former employers of Mr. Pellicano. Meanwhile, others who were deeply involved with Pellicano’s shenanigans — and clearly knowledgeable of what they were involved in — are getting away with it scot-free, neither charged themselves nor compelled to testify even with “immunity.” Could the answer be the “statute of limitations”…or in this case, the “savior of careers”?!
Last week, Mr. Freddy DeMann strolls into court and admits that he listened to wiretaps of his daughter’s cheating husband and even admitted to paying for it.
He went further to say that he played his daughter a small piece of one of the tapes, and he strolls right back out the same door that he had sailed through maybe 15 minutes earlier! Now why are some prosecuted and some given immunity…and Mr. DeMann was pretty much clear sailing? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think this guy wanted to break the law and again, we don’t know which Hollywood lawyer “hooked him up” with Pellicano…or better yet got him “plugged in,” but can we say “that’s all folks!?” How is this working?
Freddy was witness #19 and #20 is his lovely daughter Pilar. What he did is what any father would do, and I have a total understanding of that and I guess as Mr. Chad Hummel, Esq. (and one of the more vocal lawyers in the room) attempted to get in upon his very short cross-examination was “this was a good thing.”
Note: I don’t know where Mr. Hummel came from, but let me tell you he is good, he is very good! Watching him try to defend his client Arneson and his strategy each day, it is not easy for him, as the evidence against his client is powerful…

I like Johns take on things and this trial will show just how money is the end all in our society and where people with millions don’t care how many laws they break to get what they want .Even one of our presidents and his wife hided this man pellicno to take care of some things they wanted out of the way. It shows that many have gotten away wit knowing that phones were tapped and laws broken by having records checked by a police officerand the phone company.

I like John’s articles. He has a way of taking lemons and making lemonade.
Sour grapes are never attractive.
Thanks JJN and AH
