Pellicano, likewise, began to step up his plans for a counter
attack. Mr. Pellicano left no stone unturned in his pursuit of
the truth. He vigorously pursued and interrogated witnesses
for the defense attorneys. He would conduct an in-depth in-
vestigation of the witness prior to meeting with that individual.
By the time he interviewed a witness he already had inside

My mother contacted Mr. Pellicano and advised him to
talk to me concerning the case because she felt I could help
their investigation. At first, when my mother told me of the
scheduled meeting, I thought I was meeting with the investi-
gators from the District Attorney's office who were investigat-
