In 1999, in the matter of People v. Gordon Jones, I “ran” into Anthony Pellicano, once again. After completing a biopsy of the Gordon Jones criminal case, I demanded that Mr. Pellicano and two defense attorneys be terminated. In a nut shell, the client was being framed and milked as a “cash cow”. Long before the “Limousine Rapist” case was tried, I informed the “authorities” that Private Investigator Anthony Pellicano was involved in illegal wiretapping and was being “protected” by LAPD and LADA personnel. In 2001, Gordon Jones was found not guilty on all counts and after the verdict, in accordance with LAPD rules and regulations, the misconduct involving LAPD, LADA and Anthony Pellicano was formally reported to Internal Affairs Division. My interview took hours and was audio taped by LAPD “finest”. The Internal Affairs Division covered up the complaint even after becoming aware that my wife and I were also targeted and queried via law enforcement computers, on behalf of Anthony Pellicano.

I am cognizant that as of today, numerous victims of Anthony Pellicano were never informed of the fact that they were Pellicano’s targets. The LAPD and the FBI concealed the identities of the victims and selectively chose who would be prosecuted and who they considered to be a “viable” victim.

Interestingly, the prosecution of Anthony Pellicano was assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Saunders, an aspiring Hollywood writer. Having had two trials with the aforementioned prosecutor, and his then assistant Terri Law, it did not surprise me that Saunders would throw “the book” at former LAPD Detective Mark Arneson and protect all those other dubious players who were Anthony Pellicano’s paid cronies.

On April 18, 2008, I made a “cameo” appearance and testified at the trial of Anthony Pellicano. Before I even took the stand, I was informed that the Judge restricted my testimony. Why?

As I previously stated, the charges against former LAPD Detective Mark Arneson are punitive and Arneson is simply a scapegoat for the government. I was prevented from testifying that I do not believe there is a single LAPD police officer on the force who has not used the government computer system for personal/business related reasons. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office repeatedly declined to prosecute police officers involved in violation of Penal Code Section 502. I know that to be a fact, because I am in possession of many such LADA documents.

While I am not condoning what Mark Arneson allegedly did, I know this was made into a federal case because of Anthony Pellicano. It is simply unfair to use the RICO statue to punish Mark Arneson for something that members of the LAPD management had done for years, to enrich themselves. Selective prosecution of police officers should not be condoned by the federal prosecutors and going only after former LAPD Detective Mark Arneson is a travesty of justice.
