LOS ANGELES (AP) - A jury has convicted former Hollywood private eye
Anthony Pellicano and entertainment lawyer Terry Christensen of federal
wiretapping conspiracy charges.

Pellicano and Christensen were each convicted Friday of conspiracy to
commit wiretapping. Pellicano was also convicted of wiretapping and
Christensen was convicted of aiding and abetting a wiretap.

The two were accused of secretly recording phone conversations of
billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian's ex-wife, Lisa Bonder Kerkorian, in
an effort to disprove her claims that the MGM mogul was the father of
her daughter.

The 64-year-old defendants each face up to 10 years in federal prison
and $500,000 in fines when they are sentenced Nov. 17 by U.S. District
Judge Dale S. Fischer.
