Los Angeles Celebrity Sleuth Anthony Pellicano appeared in court today, and denied weapons charges and charges related to his knowing Steven Seagall.
"Celebrity sleuth Anthony Pellicano on Monday proclaimed his innocence to federal weapons charges stemming from a police probe into the alleged harassment of a Los Angeles Times reporter."
Fortunately for Mr. Pellicano, he has an outstanding defense lawyer, Donald Re, also of Los Angeles. "Re, called the felony and misdemeanor charges "outrageous" and "inappropriate," and said Pellicano, 58, had "a legitimate reason" for having the weapons."
Pellicano faces up to 11 years in federal prison if convicted on both counts. His trial is scheduled to begin on Feb. 11.
