August 29, 2008

Former Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano and his entertainment lawyer co-defendant, Terry Christensen, were convicted Friday of charges linked to the wiretapping of billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian's former wife in a child support battle. They were accused of recording Lisa Bonder Kerkorian's phone conversations in an effort to disprove her claims that the MGM mogul was the father of her daughter. Pellicano and Christensen face up to 10 years in federal prison and $500,000 in fines.
