Pellicano back-tracks on self-representation
It was reported yesterday that Anthony Pellicano had asked for the right to serve as his own attorney; today the LAT tells us he’s already retracted the request. Meanwhile his publicly-appointed attorney Steven Gruel has challenged the FBI’s search of his office:
Gruel filed his motion after a hearing in which Pellicano told U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer that he wanted to represent himself in the case to rapidly move it to trial.
“I don’t want to disrupt the court… but it has been almost four years now,” Pellicano said, referring to the time he spent imprisoned, first on an explosives conviction and now on wiretap and racketeering charges.
