Opening Statements Begin In Wiretapping Trial
July 17, 2008, 10:14 AM PDT 
LOS ANGELES -- Opening statements are under way in the
wiretapping trial of a lawyer and a Hollywood private detective
accused of listening to private conversations of a billionaire's
ex-wife.Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Lally says the case that began Thursday will rest on recorded discussions between attorney Terry Christensen and private investigator Anthony Pellicano rather than any of the conversations they are accused of wiretapping. Lally says prosecutors don't have recordings of the alleged wiretaps. Attorney Patty Glaser, who represents Christensen, says the recorded conversations were altered by Pellicano. Federal prosecutors say Christensen paid Pellicano $100,000 to wiretap phones of Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, the ex-wife of MGM mogul Kirk Kerkorian, in 2002 during a child custody dispute.
