FBI - FishbowlLA http://www.mediabistro.com/fishbowlla LA Media News, Unspooled Copyright 2013 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:56:18 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 Breaking: Plea Bargains No-Go in Pellicano Trial/FBI Tells Witness to Get Ready MrP08.jpg

Things are moving along in the Anthony Pellicano trial. FBLA has learned that the plea deals for retired police sergeant Mark Arneson and telephone company ex-employee Ray Turner (reported yesterday in Radar) have broken down. The pair were hoping to plead guilty only to charges not including RICO statutes.

Arneson was charged with supplying Pellicano with personal and private information through the illegal use of his police computers, and Turner is accused of helping set up the illegal wiretaps.

The FBI has notified witnesses (and their lawyers) to get ready.

So far, they haven’t found any violators. Which makes us wonder: If the bureau guys are so hot to watch porn, couldn’t they just rent videos like everyone else?
