Reporter tells harrowing tale at Pellicano sentencing

Former LA Times reporter Anita Busch, who did an investigative piece on Hollywood agent Michael Ovitz, only to find her life threatened by PI Anthony Pellicano, testified at Pellicano's sentencing in federal court Monday.

Not only did Busch take on Pellicano, but she also fired shots at her former employer.

Here's a portion of the statement as reported on Patterico:

In the sentencing memorandum you talk about how your life is ruined. Yes, well, YOU made that choice. None of your victims had a choice. You could have helped put these sociopaths with money behind bars, but to this day, you show contempt for this court and the law.

You have yet to take responsibility for your actions.

It was revealed only two weeks ago that an FBI agent named Mark Rossini pleaded guilty to illegally obtaining documents that were then used by your lawyer.

So every day you prove that you ran a criminal conspiracy and a criminal enterprise.

Your co-conspirator Mr. Kachikian aided and abetted you so that my computer was hacked into and 18 years of my musical compositions - which I considered my life's work - were destroyed.
