The lower courts are divided as to how to protect this right when one (or more) of the jurors requests dismis- sal of a juror during deliberations. The D.C. Circuit, First Circuit, and Second Circuit all have held that a dismissal request must be denied if there is “any pos- sibility” that the complaints about a juror are related to that juror’s views of the merits

  • Dan Moldea's 3-8-2013 Memorandum
    March 8, 2013 MEMORANDUM TO: File FROM: Dan E. Moldea SUBJECT: John Connolly’s sworn statement of 1-8-2013 and the claim that Connolly, Anita Busch, and I “never reached agreement on who was behind Anthony Pellicano’s actions against Anita” In his sworn declaration of January 8, 2013, John Connolly made the claim that he, Anita Busch, and I “never reached agreement on who was behind Anthony Pellicano’s actions against Anita” while we were working together on our book project. This statement is false. All three of us agreed that Michael Ovitz was “behind Anthony Pellicano’s actions against Anita.” The only disagreements revolved around whether Ovitz had accomplices and/or prior knowledge about the specific attacks. In his sworn statement, John wrote: 3. During the time we were working on the book, the three of us never reached agreement on who was behind Anthony Pellicano’s actions against Anita. While Dan Moldea argued that it was Michael Ovitz, Anita remained convinced that it was Jules Nasso or someone associated with organized crime. She became even more adamant that it was Nasso after January 2004 when the U.S. Attorney released a document with a copy of a file seized from Pellicano’s office which had Steven Seagal’s name on the cover but with the client and attorney names redacted. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the foregoing is true and correct, and that this declaration is executed this 8 day of January 2013 in New York City, New York.

    SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES IN RE PELLICANO CASES ____________________________________ ANITA BUSCH, ) Plaintiff, ) ) vs. ) Case No. BC316318 ) ANTHONY PELLICANO, ) ALEXANDER PROCTOR, ) MARK ARNESON, ) CITY OF LOS ANGELES, ) SBC TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INC. ) formally operating as Pacific Bell ) Telephone Company, et al, ) Defendants. ) DECLARATION OF DAN E. MOLDEA I, DAN E. MOLDEA, hereby declare as follows: 1. I am over the age of 18 years old and competent to testify as to the matters contained herein based upon my personal knowledge. 2. I make this declaration under the penalty of perjury. 3. In May 2003, I began writing a nonfiction book with Anita Busch (“Ms. Busch”) in the wake of the alleged attacks against her by Anthony Pellicano (“Mr. Pellicano”), hoping that we could get the book published, tell her important story, and make money on the back end. 4. Ms. Busch and I signed an Author Collaboration Agreement (“Collaboration Agreement”) in January 2004. Although we would share the copyright and she would have editorial control, I would be the sole author. We gave the book the working title, A Woman at Risk (the “Book”). In addition, we originally agreed that we would split all advances and royalties 60-40 in her favor. I would work for free on this project and receive no money until we sold our Book project to a publishing house. A true and accurate copy of this Collaboration Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 5.
