This article is only the tip of the Pellicano iceberg which I wrote quickly this morning. When the expected indictments come down in the wiretapping investigation, he'll be back in the media eye again. Someone with a lot of time might want to do more digging around and add details to this profile. David Hoag 18:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
This was the date of birth as published on June 17, 2005 on the District Attorney of Los Angeles' website.
You'll need to type something like "Pellicano" in the small "Search for:" textarea, and then click "Submit", to get the full article, which also includes the dob for: Frederick Proctor.

Many hands are now contributing to this article, which is good, but some inaccuracies have crept into it. Anita Busch was working for the Los Angeles Times during the death threat incident. It's in the lede para of the articles about her attorneys subpoening Mike Ovitz. Perhaps the contributor was confusing her with Bernie Weintraub, of the New York Times, who was allegedly wiretapped by Pellicano & company.
I also pulled back somewhat the discussion about the venue battle. That hasn't played out yet, and it's important to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It should provide an overview of the person. It's not a news reportage about the person, albeit constant updates will occur. David Hoag 08:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Pellicano is now in the national news nearly every day. He has been the subject of articles in major news magazines like Time and Newsweek for the past five weeks. The US Attorney has announced more indictments are coming this month. So this is clearly a current event and the article is likely to change further within the short term. I returned the "current" tag to the article. CaptainCarrot 19:28, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
The new Vanity Fair article [2] is absolutely astounding. It would be great if some aficionados could read it carefully and update this article extensively. Phr ( talk) 23:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Should we reword this: "During the search, agents found two practice grenades modified to function as homemade bombs as well as military-grade C-4 plastic explosives sufficient to take down a passenger jet."? That is a VERY small weight of C4, and written like this makes it seem more dangerous than it is. Alvis 05:55, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Under "Earlier Connections", there are ten references that appear to have just been lumped in at the end of the article without being associated with the text. It seems to me the format of these should be changed so that they're general (and not inline) references. Reinderien 16:09, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
ISTR that Pellicano had been an attorney once upon a time, or at least obtained a JD. Anyone else hear such? knoodelhed ( talk) 20:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Don't know about that, but I just confirmed that he is a former member of mensa. I heard it straight from the mensa membership directo herself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.60.138.61 ( talk) 14:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
I moved the following comment from the first paragraph of the article to this talk page: "(Note:Pellicano has often been confused with Jack Palladino, a San Francisco-based private investigator whose client list has included Bill Clinton and Courtney Love.)" JohnClarknew ( talk) 07:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
NO, THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE, as numerous sources clearly state that THE CLINTONS & PELLICANO did business together, as in the Clirntons HIRED Pellicano.

For whatever reason since August 2008, the Pellicano sentencing keeps getting pushed back. Readers are probably looking for some closure regarding this matter - - see: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/crime/la-me-pellicano13-2008nov13,0,5740879.storythis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roz Lipschitz ( talk • contribs) 08:21, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
On 15 Dec 2008 Anthony Pellicano was sentenced to 15 years! This comes to great relief for his many victims. The prosecution only asked for 5 years 10 months. HOWEVER, because the judge observed that Pellicano had no remorse whatsoever for his acts and that he expressed extreme pride for his criminal activities, he was given just 1-year shy of the maximum sentence. He will have to serve 85% of his sentence to be eligible for parole. With time served this will be in about 12 years, two months time. See:

There was a part which was blatantly ripped from a DOJ press release, pointed out by an anonymous editor.
The copyvio was from [3], and was replaced with a loose legal threat and a phone number. (Wikipedia is not a bathroom stall?) I've seen some weird ways to report copyvios but this tops them all.
Removed the ripped text (and the phone number). I think we can do better. -- RabidDeity ( talk) 08:53, 18 September 2009 (UTC)
Very poorly written, jumps around, doesn't make sense...vague IT NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY RE-WRITTEN OR NOMINATED FOR DELETION! It is pathetic! Roz Lipchitz ( talk) 19:44, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
