Sandra Jo Streeter,

I am unaware if you remain on the above referenced case that involves restraining order violations related to a restraining order that does not extend to Robert Kory or Michelle Rice.  I do believe a full faith and credit analysis of the Colorado order is indicated.  I have provided your office with evidence that the Colorado order is not a domestic violence order.  The Boulder Combined Court never obtained jurisdiction over Kory & Rice.  Their former business property was included solely as an excluded place.  The Boulder Combined Court confirmed that Kory & Rice, as well as the corporations, have never applied for restraining orders.  I think this is relevant.

In any event, I have now received yet another email from "sandra123@gmail.com."  I do not know if this was sent by you or if this is the ongoing work of Stephen Gianelli who has relentlessly harassed me, my sons, elderly parents, sister and her husband, friends, witnesses who have submitted declarations, and Paulette Brandt for years now.  Stephen Gianelli uses monikers and creates fake email accounts and names to harass me through electronic communications and online.  

The purpose of this email is to communicate a legitimate grievance to you and the City Attorney's Office.  Paulette Brandt forwarded this email to me.  It falsely accuses me of violating the fraudulent domestic violence orders issued to Kory & Rice.  Those orders will be heard by the trial court as Judge Lui confirmed during the last hearing.  I have not contacted Kory & Rice and Leonard Cohen is deceased so I have made no attempts to contact him directly or indirectly including through a Ouija Board.

I suppose the author of this letter views me as the "food stamp queen."  Do I need to be "incarcerated in the Los Angeles County jail before" I get "the message" that I have no "lawful reason" to contact "any of the people" I currently harass?  I have harassed no one and you have no authority to determine what is or is not legitimate.  That would include anything related to federal tax, corporate, and IRS matters.  I also do not believe enforcement jurisdiction permits you to expand the scope of the Colorado order.  I am not harassing anyone and that includes in my emails to IRS, FBI, and DOJ documenting everything that has unfolded since reporting the allegations that Leonard Cohen committed criminal tax fraud to IRS.  This was specifically raised in my letter to former DDA Alan Jackson.  In September 2009, Investigator William Frayeh hand delivered that letter to Cooley, Jackson, and Do.  It was then revised in September 2010 and sent electronically to Cooley, Jackson, and others.  Please see attached.  It also addresses the harassment on the part of Stephen Gianelli.  

The author has written Paulette Brandt falsely accusing her of encouraging unlawful conduct when there is no evidence - let alone a fact - to prove that false allegation.  This email relates to both my retaliatory prosecution and Phil Spector.  It does not appear that the two issues are mutually exclusive.  My son, Ray Charles Lindsey, was able to determine that.  He has been harassed by Gianelli since he was a minor.  Please feel free to review his declaration and the declaration of my older son, Rutger Penick.  



Does Ms. Brandt know that Phil Spector's last chance petition was denied by the Supreme Court?  How would individuals who do not know us have that information?  Is Phil Spector in failing health and will he die in prison?  

Am I on a list of letters that Phil Spector instructed the prison authorities to toss in the trash?  I would assume that type of statement requires evidence although I do understand, based on Leonard Cohen's testimony, that evidence is not required at LA Superior Court.  Fabricated narratives work perfectly well particularly when the best evidence rule is repeatedly violated.  

Are Paulette and my emails to Dennis Riordan going unread?  I know Dennis Riordan interested you throughout my 2012 trial.  In fact, an April 18, 2011 email -that Cohen was not copied on - permitted you to elicit testimony about a Phil Spector gun incident while concealing requests for IRS required tax and corporate information and my email to the IRS Commissioner's Staff.  The IRS Commissioner is the head of IRS.  Do you have any evidence that the IRS Commissioner, his staff, or IRS itself would agree with this assessment that was repeated in news stories about the 2012 case?  If so, would you kindly maintain that evidence.

Streeter said Lynch continuously called and wrote Cohen, accusing him of tax fraud and other wrongdoing, as revenge. "This is nothing more than the unraveling of a con," Streeter said.  

For the record, you still have not confirmed if these emails are being generated by you personally.  If they are not, I will assume that Stephen Gianelli is sending them in an attempt to elicit information.  That's his M.O.  He transmits lies to slander me, Paulette, and others and in an attempt to elicit information.  This particular harassing communications relates to the present prosecution and Phil Spector.  I don't view any of it as "extraneous."  I view the matters as "intertwined."  I have relentessly advised Gianelli to cease and desist.  I want you to be very clear about that fact because not only is he interested in Spector, me and my sons, but he argues Leonard Cohen's legal positions.  He appears to be one of Cohen's attorneys although not an "attorney of record."  If he was an attorney of record, he would probably be disbarred by now if a Court actually reviewed the totality of circumstances.  Please see Ann Diamond's piece on Stephen Gianelli, below.

Kelley Lynch

Ann Diamond on Stephen Gianelli


When Stephen Gianelli’s emails land in my inbox, mostly out of the blue and unsolicited, they are so overflowing with repetitive accusations, misinformation, threats, self-aggrandizing boasts, undiluted rage, and general nastiness that it's next to impossible to read to the end of one of them. My impulse is always to ignore them and tell him to stop sending them. That he seems to have unlimited energy  and endless time to go over all these details with someone he does not know in an attempt to win me over, while at the same time he constantly accuses me of having an ancient axe to grind with Cohen (i.e. I'm a hopeless case, as far as he's concerned, so he's barking furiously up the wrong tree), would under normal circumstances be a sign of mental imbalance.

He always throws in plenty of insults, false statements and fanciful deductions. His tone is that of a pitbull straining at the leash and gives me flashbacks of a courtroom where I’m being cross-examined by a vicious criminal lawyer whose whole strategy is to exhaust and terrorize the witness. Gianelli’s game is to complicate and obfuscate, mixing legal arguments with irrelevant nonsense. He seems to assume his opponent is stupid and weak and can be overwhelmed by a word-salad. I think some of this could be caused by his overuse of "copy and paste" --  he's in a hurry and not really writing "to me" or trying to make a persuasive argument. He doesnt reread his emails to see what kind of message they actually convey: that the writer is standing on some soapbox in his mind, shouting at the world, like certain mental patients you see walking the streets who seem to be mad at the air, the cars, the sidewalk.

He's obviously not interested in holding a discussion, getting to the truth, or looking beyond the various documents he "downloaded at his own expense"  -- and as anyone with common sense knows, legal documents don't prove what really happened in 2004-5.  They convey some of the evidence, all of it coming from one side.

Gianelli's explanation as to why he's been out to get Kelley Lynch since 2008, does not make sense either. He claims she slandered him and called him names on the internet, and in revenge he has totally immersed himself in her legal case. To the point of contacting her relatives and friends, spreading false stories about her, making up quotes, “writing her in jail”, posting photos of her residence and roommates on his blog – for the past seven years. Nobody in their right mind, let alone a 'successful trial lawyer' -- who has no material interest in this case, and is not a paid shill -- behaves like this. It's not just extremely unprofessional, it would land him on 'stress leave' or in serious trouble with his colleagues and peers if he were still practicing. Hiding behind the handle Blogonaut would not conceal his identity for long, especially not on the porous internet. His badly written and often illogical, emotional rants would embarrass and bring him close to  professional suicide.

But apparently since he's retired, and apparently well-off, and lives in a comfortable tax haven on Crete, he doesn't seem to care and just indulges his childish fantasies and catty remarks with his tiny circle of  cronies. It’s fairly obvious he uses alternate accounts and different IDs, e.g. “Mongochili,” to make it appear others read his blog and share his ‘obcession’ with Lynch. His sheer extremism indicates he is either a “rogue criminal lawyer” gone slightly postal, or a paid agent of Leonard Cohen and/or his legal team.  I think the latter.

I think his over-the-top campaign will have the opposite effect than the one intended: it can only make people suspicious of the case against Kelley Lynch. Otherwise, why not let justice take its course? Why subject her to endless attacks over the internet if she has already been declared guilty? This kind of harassment resembles 'gang stalking' -- except that Gianelli seems to be both the leader and most of the membership of his own gang.

Gianelli is like no other email correspondent I have ever had. A single-paragraph response from my end always leads to a flood from his. Each exchange is like a trip down a rabbithole of  irrational rage. Here and there he mixes in details and facts which might be worth discussing, if they weren’t drowned by high-volume invective. Of course this could be a tactic:  if he really was ever a successful trial lawyer, it may have been by being an insufferable bully. Or maybe most of his cases involved low-life criminals or people with little or no education.

He claims to have accurately predicted the outcome of every Lynch hearing -- but then so could I. As we all know, cases are won on technicalities. That's one of the reasons, including the 10-year series of precedents, that I am not surprised the judge dismissed Kelley's motion.

If Gianelli were truly a respectable lawyer, he would restrict his comments to these legal matters, and not engage in bizarre slander and speculation. He would have no need to bring up my "past" - or a wacked version of it that sounds like it came from someone on Cohen's disinfo team. He draws from a psychological profile that is easily recognizable because I have heard it from other Cohen groupies. As someone who saw a bit too much when I knew Cohen, I’m no stranger to slander, I've written out my story on a public blog etc. where anyone can read what I have to say. Much of what I have written on Cohen was initially to defend myself against gossip and rumours that were circulated (and believed) by some of his friends. My side is completely different, much more detailed and accurate. It's also quite revealing of the life of a clever pop idol in our celebrity-worshiping culture. There's no point in my arguing with people who base their opinions on ridiculous myths, like the 'restraining order' that never was. Cohen's deceptive tactics have not really evolved in the past twenty years, since he used them on me.

I really don't care if Gianelli thinks I am a star-struck 'scorned woman' who never got over her passing encounter with greatness. This Mafia-style lawyer's fixed opinions, based on trashy clichés say much more about him than they do about me or my writing, or why I became interested in what really happened to Kelley Lynch.

And of course, no one would ever suspect Leonard Cohen of encouraging Gianelli. But in my experience, Gianelli is exactly the kind of human megaphone Cohen places in charge of his 'secret business.' Like other clowns from Cohen's private entourage that I have met over the years, he may not even realize he's being used because he is ridiculous and therefore disposable. It's a fascinating system that owes much to the criminal underworld that Leonard Cohen skirts with all the skill of someone born into it. I'm sure Gianelli feels at home, and knows his place, in that world where he acts the part of a useful idiot whose job is to create a circus atmosphere and put the audience into a deeper state of trance.

I am by now firmly convinced Lynch is a patsy/victim of a weird consortium of Cohen associates, clueless supporters, and Cohen himself. If I hadn't lived next door to Leonard Cohen, and witnessed similar dynamics twenty years ago, I might believe differently. But the essence of what happened to Kelley also happened to me, two decades ago, on a lesser scale with lower stakes. It was relatively easy for me to walk away from it back then – my reputation was damaged but my life was not utterly destroyed by my association with Leonard Cohen, as Kelley's was.

I empathize with her situation, and see it as just one more story of the corruption that is sinking the whole world. I know Leonard Cohen would agree with that. He would only disagree with the idea that we all have an obligation to oppose injustice, rather than 'let it go by' and even profit from it.

How many more times does the food stamp queen need to be incarcerated in the Los Angeles County jail before she gets the message that she has no lawful reason to contact any of the people she currently harasses?

Are you really that stupid that you cannot see that truth? Why then do you encourage her to get herself in trouble time after time?

This is not exactly rocket science.

You do know that Phil Spector's last chance petition was denied by the Supreme Court, with no more appeals available, and that with his failing health, he will likely die in prison? Meaning that your play using Kelley Lynch to get back on the Spector dole is over.

Not that it had any chance to begin with. Kelley Lynch has been on the list of letters that Spector has instructed the prison authorities to toss in the trash unread since day-one. Nor are any of her or your emails to Dennis Riordan getting read either.
What a pair of losers.

Kelley Lynch Email to Deputy City Attorney Sandra Jo Streeter Re: Leonard Cohen, IRS, Criminal Harassment & Stalking, Domestic Violence Fraud, Christian Slater, Etc.

Ms. Streeter,

I have been receiving emails (sent to numerous email accounts) from "Sandra123."  I submitted one to Los Angeles Superior Court regarding the proceedings related to my request for federal tax information and Leonard Cohen, the deceased individual with the fraudulent domestic violence order.  I received another email regarding Herb Dodell, an individual who does not represent me.  You questioned me about this individual the other day, with a witness present, and I informed you that I had spoken to a former judge.  That is correct but it is not Herb Dodell.  I spoke to a former federal judge in another state.  There are fraud restraining orders in multiple jurisdictions so obviously that is a federal court issue although it's relevant to the matter at hand.  I did not see Stephen Gianelli present when you, your colleague, and I discussed attorneys I had spoken to.  Nor do I believe it is legally appropriate for anyone to attempt to discern what attorneys I have spoken with, attempt to severe attorney client privilege, or attempt to infiltrate my defense.  

Stephen Gianelli, who I have copied on this email. has used fake email account names to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, and slander me, my sons, elderly parents, family members, friends, colleagues, roommate, and witnesses who have submitted declarations to LA Superior Court.  He has created the moniker the 14th Sheepdog and relentlessly harassed me using that account.  I believe he created the 17th Shitzu email address, another reference to a Tibetan Buddhist teacher of mine, and transmitted the "bloody stump" email referencing issues raised during my 2012 trial (regarding my son's horrendous accident), slandering Oliver Stone, and advising me that I should be raped, murdered, or commit suicide.  Gianelli has written me and Paulette Brandt that we should commit suicide.  I would like to advise you that we do not know this man.  You mentioned NAMBLA during my trial.  I will state this once again:  when any adult stranger, such as Gianelli, attempts to lure my then minor son into communicating with him properly, I will view that individual as a potential sexual predator or criminal targeting a child.  Most responsible parents would.  Stephen Gianelli relentlessly targeted my sons for over seven years.  We do not know him at all.  He could be outside with a gun.  He could be a serial murderer.  He could be a common criminal.  He could be a sexual predator.  He could be a dangerous clown with motive.  He could be a co-conspirator.  The bottom line:  I have no idea who this individual is.  He argues Leonard Cohen's legal matters, defends him, attempts to infiltrate matters (such as IRS Chief Trial Counsel's office), and is deranged.  As a witness of mine in Canada noted - he is a psychopath and dangerously unstable individual.  

I believe Gianelli may have created this email account - referencing you - which I will now submit to the Court.  I do not know you.  I do not know what your private email address is.  Therefore, I am asking you to advise me if this is your email account.  If it is not, I will assume it is Gianelli.  I don't see a conspiracy with Gianelli under every rock and behind every tree.  I see an out of control Bay Area lawyer engaging in what appears to be criminal conduct that involves harassing me relentlessly over Leonard Cohen, IRS and federal tax matters, and Phil Spector.  He has worked in tandem with Michelle Blaine (Phil Spector's former assistant), Susanne Walsh (Leonard Cohen's fan), and others.  His obsession with my sons was and remains frightening.  

Do you have an interest in any Christian Slater case?  I have never advised anyone that Stephen Gianelli drafted a complaint in Thomas Slater's defamation case against his father.  I have never advised anyone that Gianelli was in the courthouse hallway.  Stephen Gianelli lies to elicit information.  He is an agent provocateur, infiltrator, and "fixer."  Gianelli is referring to his legal client, Karina Von Watteville, who publicly posted on her Facebook account that she is assisting Thomas Slater with his defamation suit against Christian Slater and his mother.  She posted that she provided legal advisers.  She is also the producer of a film Slater v. Slater about the case.  The statements Gianelli is referring to are Karina Von Watteville's.  Please review her Facebook page so you may make your own determination.  You might begin around February/March 2015.  Thomas Slater also uses the name Michael de Gainsborough.  If you are confused when Von Watteville posts as de Gainsborough that's because, and you can read this in the comments on her page, she helped him create the page and posts as him at times.  


I don't know anything about the legal adviser Karina Von Watteville and/or Thomas Slater had in the courthouse hallway during any proceedings in the defamation case.  I don't know if the individual was white, black, pink, purple, or wore polka dots.  

I also have no idea what Gianelli is talking about re. his ID and Heathrow.  He has previously sent me his Greek residency card, advised me that he is immune from prosecution because he resides in Greece, and he has a residence in Napa Valley evidently.  He has also copied me on an insane series of emails with his travel agent when traveling with his wife to Mexico Christmas a year ago.  Maybe he's creating an alibi.  Who knows?  
I have never said Gianelli set foot in a courtroom in 2017 and have no idea what this criminal is talking about.  One thing the writer appeals to be interested in are the "pending" charges related to a request for federal tax information.  That is a very serious issue that you and/or the court can address with me directly.
If you have any questions about IRS, please raise them in federal court.  That is the appropriate jurisdiction.  The other day you mentioned the IRS blocking someone for harassment.  That was Stephen Gianelli and he sent me the evidence that IRS blocked him.  If you are interested in discussing that, please subpoena the IRS and obtain a name and badge number for that agent.  I have nothing further to say on that topic and will object if you do not provide an agent's name and/or badge number.

Stephen Gianelli mentioned my "defense."  Is that something you are interested in, Ms. Streeter?  Well, read the documents I've submitted to the Court and if you have anything to say to me as opposing counsel, please bring a tape recorder so we all have evidence of our conversations, and/or let's discuss them on the record.
Once again, I am asking you to confirm if you wrote this email, as Sandra123@gmail.com.  If not, I will assume Stephen Gianelli has picked up with his harassment and attempts to infiltrate matters.

You apparently see a conspiracy with "Gianelli" under every rock and behind every tree.

You went so far as to write to Christian Slater's attorney claiming that Gianelli drafted the complaint that the actor's son filed against him and was "advising" on the claim in the courthouse hallway.
What you didn't know (apparently) is that the "legal advisor" who drafted the complaint and was in that courthouse hallway was a tall black man and that "Gianelli" was in Healthrow airport at the precise moment of the hearing and had not been to the US that year. "Gianelli's" ID photo cleared the matter up immediately, as did a copy of the relevant airport documentation.

Simularly, "Gianelli" has not set foot in the US (let alone the vicinity of any LA Court) in 2017. (We verified that as well.)

But by all means keep lying. See where it gets you by way of defense to the pending crimial charges against you. SPOILER ALERT: You will be convicted, because you have no defense.
Oh, wait, I forgot. It's an "IRS matter". Never mind. I am sure once the court hears that defense you wil walk!

Mr. Riordan and Mr. Cutler,

May I have your opinions on the City Attorney's use of the April 18, 2011 email to Dennis Riordan and IRS Commissioner's Staff during my trial.  See one piece of evidence attached.  Leonard Cohen was not copied on this email but it permitted Streeter to elicit testimony about Phil Spector.  It permitted Cohen to lie that I said he perjured himself in Spector's Grand Jury.  Mick Brown reviewed the trial transcript and I have said that ad nauseum.  Furthermore, Cohen told me for 20 years that Spector never held a gun on him.  What justified the prosecutor calling Cohen as a witness about Phil Spector?  Because the Cohen and Spector cases are linked and that's why I'm being targeted.  How was an email to Dennis Riordan authenticated when it is hearsay.  Who was copied?  Alan Jackson, Truc Do, and William Frayeh as well as IRS.  Streeter concealed the evidence related to the IRS Commissioner's Staff and the fact that I confirmed for Dennis Riordan that Cohen refused to provide me with the tax information.  Cohen was not copied on this email but testified that he was.  He later confirmed, under cross, that he didn't really review all the email addresses.  Who would believe this man?  He confessed to perjuring himself during the trial on another issue.  

I think any reasonable person would understand why I wrote Bruce Cutler once the prosecutor confirmed that Cooley's investigator was in the courtroom.  Do they want to target me now over my requests for IRS required tax and corporate information, private litigation matters, and the fact that proxy operative Stephen Gianelli has targeted me, my sons, family members, friends, Paulette Brandt, and others for over seven straight years?  Obviously.  They victimize victims.  The entire trial record in my case in one long lie.  Cohen just made up whatever he wanted and there was no evidence to substantiate his testimony.  That would include his preposterous statement that he was concerned I would attend his concert.  I have no idea who would believe any of this bullshit.  Maybe a Lifetime movie writer.

You don't think the fraud DV related orders terminated by operation of law, do you?  At least the City and County can collect fraudulent VAWA funds.  I suppose that's the upside.

Kelley

Streeter:  Do you hear the mention of a gentleman by the name of Dennis Riordan in that last sentence, Mr. Cohen?  Cohen:  No, I didn’t.  RT 234

Streeter:  Did you hear a mention of a Dennis Riordan in there, Mr. Cohen?  Cohen:  Yes, I did … Streeter:  Did you receive that voice mail message approximately February 15, 2011?  Cohen:  Yes, I did.  RT 234  Streeter:  Do you recall if Ms. Lynch has mentioned Dennis Riordan in any of her emails?  Cohen:  Many times, but I just don’t remember at this moment what the connection is.  RT 235

Streeter:  And do you remember when the trial from Mr. Spector happened?  Was it before or after Ms. Lynch left your employ?  Cohen:  I think it was during that period.  I’m not sure.  Streeter:  But it was around the same time.  Cohen:  Yes.  Streeter:  And prior to her leaving your employ, you had no contact with anybody else on that case; is that right?  Cohen:  Oh, no, none whatsoever.  Streeter:  Now, you mentioned that she would also mention, talk about Mr. Spector in the emails.  I’m going to show – ask you a couple of questions about those emails.  Do you recall getting an email from Ms. Lynch on approximately April 18, 2011 at about 5.44 AM?  Cohen:  I know that occasionally there were some very early calls.  Streeter:  This is an email message.  Cohen:  I would have to be refreshed.  RT 160

Streeter:  I have People’s 13.  Now, thinking back to the emails that you received from Ms. Lynch about Mr. Spector, would she use his whole name or would she use part of his name, or did it vary?  Cohen:  It varied, but I think it was usually Phil Spector … Occasionally when she spoke of him as someone she knew well, I think she would call him Phillip.  Streeter:  I’m going to show you an email.  It’s – April 18, 2011.  I misspoke.  It’s at 8.11 AM.  Just look at the first page on the date.  See if that refreshes your recollection.  Let me know when you’ve done.  Cohen:  Yes Ma’am.  Streeter:  Did – does that refresh your recollection as to whether or not you received an email on April 18, 2011 at approximately 8.11 AM in the morning.  Cohen:  Yes, this is the email I received.  Streeter:  See if that email helps you recall whether or not there was any mention of either a Phil, a Phillip, or Phil Spector in the email.  Cohen:  In this particular email, Mr. Spector is called Phillip.  Streeter:  Okay.  And on what page is the email?  What page is the mention of Mr. Spector?  Cohen:  I haven’t studied the whole email, but it begins on the first page.  Streeter:  How many pages is that particular email, Mr. Cohen?  Cohen:  Seven pages … Streeter:  Is your name mentioned in any way with Phillip, Mr. Cohen?  Cohen:  Yes.  It says, Cohen told me Phillip never held a gun on him, and that would support what he told LAPD.  RT 160-161 

COHEN DIDN'T REALIZE, AFTER REVIEWING THE EMAIL AND CONFIRMING THAT HE WAS A RECIPIENT, THAT HE WAS NOT A RECIPIENT.

Now, one of thee emails that she mentioned was sent on April 18, 2011 at around 8.11 AM … Do you remember testifying about that email? Cohen:  Yes, I believe I did.  Kelly:  Okay.  And when you testified about that email, you said that you remember receiving that email?  RT 265  Cohen:  I think I did.  Kelly:  Can you point out where exactly on the list of recipients that your email address shows up?  Cohen:  Perhaps I missed this one.  Kelly:  Okay.  But you did testify, though, that you remember receiving that email, correct?  Do you remember testifying to that?  Cohen:  I believe I did.  Kelly:  Okay.  Were you wrong when you -- did you misspeak when you said that?  Cohen:  I haven’t checked every address.  Kelly:  Okay.  You can take a moment -- Cohen:  It’s very small.  Kelly:  Take all the time that you need.  Cohen:  If you say it’s not here, I understand what your point will be … PD:  And so you’ve had a chance to look over that email, the recipients?  Cohen:  Yes.  PD:  And your email is not on that, correct?  Cohen:  That’s correct.  RT 266

Robert Kory & Michelle Rice,

I am writing to follow up on my August 24, 2016 letter to Leonard Cohen re. outstanding tax and corporate matters.  As these issues were unresolved at the time of Cohen's death, I would appreciate your providing me with the name of the individual who will serve as Cohen's estate representative.  I will note that I have spoken with LAPD's TMU (and other units) about this tax request and would like to refer you to the U.S. Constitution and Supremacy Clause.  LAPD has no jurisdiction whatsoever over federal tax matters although their report re. my alleged emails confirmed that they were generally requests for tax information.  

The information I have requested was due me well in advance of entry of the fraud default judgment.  I am requesting information for the years 2004 and 2005.  Leonard Cohen personally testified that he and I parted ways on October 21, 2004.  He also testified that I never stole from him - just his peace of mind - but nevertheless appears to have used LA Superior Court Case No. BC338322 as a tax deduction.  Cohen also failed to repay his nearly $8 million in loans/advances from TH.  Cohen personally signed the attached Annuity Agreement.  

Apart from the IRS required tax and corporate information I am requesting (which includes form 1099, forms K-1, corporate accountings, profit and loss statements, loan documents, IP asset valuations, tax returns, and so forth), I am demanding access to the corporate books and records at this time.  That would include, but is not limited to, all royalty statements, evidence of income and expenses, asset valuations, tax returns, and a schedule of sums Leonard Cohen, LCI, and any other entity/party that collected income, related to income collected that was generated by IP owned by BMT.

On another note, I continue to be slandered.  Leonard Cohen is the individual who embezzled from corporations, unlawfully transferred my property and the property of suspended corporations to himself via a fraud default judgment, and has stolen millions of dollars from me.  That would include with respect to commissions that most certainly were not addressed on any fabricated expense ledger.  I am advising you that the ongoing slander, including re. the fraudulent domestic violence order, should immediately cease and desist.

I look for\ward to your response.

Mr. Cutler, Mr. Riordan, and Mr. Sevilla,

Attached hereto (and enclosed below), please find a copy of a letter I am mailing to Phillip today.  The content is self-explanatory.  I do hope the prison guards pass the letter onto him.  We shall see.  I've informed Phillip that I was sending copies of this letter to his attorneys (past and present).

All the best,

Dear Phillip,

How are you?  Feel free to assume that’s a rhetorical question.  

I don’t know if you heard that Leonard Cohen passed away.  He has now been glorified by the Prime Minister of Canada (a country where Cohen cannot reside due to tax and residence problems), the news media (where you and I continue to be slandered with his fictitious and fraudulent statements) and, most astounding of all, Israeli President Reuven Rivlin, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Israeli Defense Force who have saluted their “dear friend.”  I found the Israeli glorification of Cohen mind-boggling.  After all, this is a man who gave the Sieg Heil on stage in Germany and attempted to start a riot in Israel while high on LSD.  That particular incident was recorded on a film owned by Steven Machat.  Cohen actually stole the film, “Bird On A Wire” from Steven but eventually agreed to return it.  You may recall Marty’s disdain over the latter incident.  

In any event, up until the moment of his death, Leonard Cohen – with an army of professionals – continued to target and lie about me, submitted fraudulent and perjured legal documents to numerous courts, and generally behaved as the individual we personally know him to be.  I now have four appeals before the Second Appellate Division.  They relate to Cohen’s fraudulent domestic violence order, fraudulent renewal of judgment, my fraud upon the court motion (which the court “mischaracterized” as a motion to reconsider), and LA Superior Court’s sealing of corporate and other records.  I believe you are well aware of the fact that Cohen and I were never in anything that resembled a “dating” relationship.  Nevertheless, LA Superior Court simply assigned me a “dating” relationship with Cohen.  

I have never seen anything like LA Superior Court in my entire life.  They have routinely provided Leonard Cohen, based on fraudulent misrepresentations and perjured statements, orders, judgments, and even verdicts.  After recently receiving jury duty notice, I wrote the Court and asked it to investigate all the fraudulently procured judgments, orders, and verdicts that now involve me.  It seems more than obvious that some form of remedy is required.  I mentioned the fact that Leonard Cohen now has three versions of his good rock ‘n roll gun story about you before LA Superior Court.  His testimony during my so-called 2012 trial contradicted the version the prosecutors used in your case.  I have not seen the Grand Jury transcript but Mick Brown, who reviewed it, informed me that Cohen’s statements or testimony were in fact presented to your Grand Jury.  A third version was transmitted to the City Attorney’s Office by Cohen personally at the outset of my trial.  It’s difficult to imagine which version the government actually believes.  Of course, Cohen told me for approximately twenty years that you never held a gun on him and his stories about you were merely good rock ‘n roll stories.  

What I want to discuss with you today is Bay Area lawyer Stephen Gianelli.  I’ve previously written you about him.  Stephen Gianelli is most definitely an agent provocateur, infiltrator, fixer, and very twisted individual.  I think the best way to summarize his personality and conduct is to ask you to read Ann Diamond’s piece on him.  Gianelli has stalked, harassed, and slandered her for years.  He has also stalked, harassed, slandered, threatened, and intimidated me, Paulette, and many witnesses who have provided me with declarations.  He literally terrorized my sons for over seven straight years.  Ms. Diamond was Cohen’s former friend, lover, and someone involved with him immediately following the recording of “Death of a Ladies’ Man.”  Ann most definitely understands this dangerous clown.  

Ann Diamond on Stephen Gianelli


When Stephen Gianelli’s emails land in my inbox, mostly out of the blue and unsolicited, they are so overflowing with repetitive accusations, misinformation, threats, self-aggrandizing boasts, undiluted rage, and general nastiness that it's next to impossible to read to the end of one of them. My impulse is always to ignore them and tell him to stop sending them. That he seems to have unlimited energy  and endless time to go over all these details with someone he does not know in an attempt to win me over, while at the same time he constantly accuses me of having an ancient axe to grind with Cohen (i.e. I'm a hopeless case, as far as he's concerned, so he's barking furiously up the wrong tree), would under normal circumstances be a sign of mental imbalance.

He always throws in plenty of insults, false statements and fanciful deductions. His tone is that of a pitbull straining at the leash and gives me flashbacks of a courtroom where I’m being cross-examined by a vicious criminal lawyer whose whole strategy is to exhaust and terrorize the witness. Gianelli’s game is to complicate and obfuscate, mixing legal arguments with irrelevant nonsense. He seems to assume his opponent is stupid and weak and can be overwhelmed by a word-salad. I think some of this could be caused by his overuse of "copy and paste" --  he's in a hurry and not really writing "to me" or trying to make a persuasive argument. He doesn’t reread his emails to see what kind of message they actually convey: that the writer is standing on some soapbox in his mind, shouting at the world, like certain mental patients you see walking the streets who seem to be mad at the air, the cars, the sidewalk.

He's obviously not interested in holding a discussion, getting to the truth, or looking beyond the various documents he "downloaded at his own expense"  -- and as anyone with common sense knows, legal documents don't prove what really happened in 2004-5.  They convey some of the evidence, all of it coming from one side.

Gianelli's explanation as to why he's been out to get Kelley Lynch since 2008, does not make sense either. He claims she slandered him and called him names on the internet, and in revenge he has totally immersed himself in her legal case. To the point of contacting her relatives and friends, spreading false stories about her, making up quotes, “writing her in jail”, posting photos of her residence and roommates on his blog – for the past seven years. Nobody in their right mind, let alone a 'successful trial lawyer' -- who has no material interest in this case, and is not a paid shill -- behaves like this. It's not just extremely unprofessional, it would land him on 'stress leave' or in serious trouble with his colleagues and peers if he were still practicing. Hiding behind the handle Blogonaut would not conceal his identity for long, especially not on the porous internet. His badly written and often illogical, emotional rants would embarrass and bring him close to professional suicide.

But apparently since he's retired, and apparently well-off, and lives in a comfortable tax haven on Crete, he doesn't seem to care and just indulges his childish fantasies and catty remarks with his tiny circle of  cronies. It’s fairly obvious he uses alternate accounts and different IDs, e.g. “Mongochili,” to make it appear others read his blog and share his ‘obcession’ with Lynch. His sheer extremism indicates he is either a “rogue criminal lawyer” gone slightly postal, or a paid agent of Leonard Cohen and/or his legal team.  I think the latter.

I think his over-the-top campaign will have the opposite effect than the one intended: it can only make people suspicious of the case against Kelley Lynch. Otherwise, why not let justice take its course? Why subject her to endless attacks over the internet if she has already been declared guilty? This kind of harassment resembles 'gang stalking' -- except that Gianelli seems to be both the leader and most of the membership of his own gang.

Gianelli is like no other email correspondent I have ever had. A single-paragraph response from my end always leads to a flood from his. Each exchange is like a trip down a rabbithole of  irrational rage. Here and there he mixes in details and facts which might be worth discussing, if they weren’t drowned by high-volume invective. Of course this could be a tactic:  if he really was ever a successful trial lawyer, it may have been by being an insufferable bully. Or maybe most of his cases involved low-life criminals or people with little or no education. 

He claims to have accurately predicted the outcome of every Lynch hearing -- but then so could I. As we all know, cases are won on technicalities. That's one of the reasons, including the 10-year series of precedents, that I am not surprised the judge dismissed Kelley's motion. 

If Gianelli were truly a respectable lawyer, he would restrict his comments to these legal matters, and not engage in bizarre slander and speculation. He would have no need to bring up my "past" - or a wacked version of it that sounds like it came from someone on Cohen's disinfo team. He draws from a psychological profile that is easily recognizable because I have heard it from other Cohen groupies. As someone who saw a bit too much when I knew Cohen, I’m no stranger to slander, I've written out my story on a public blog etc. where anyone can read what I have to say. Much of what I have written on Cohen was initially to defend myself against gossip and rumours that were circulated (and believed) by some of his friends. My side is completely different, much more detailed and accurate. It's also quite revealing of the life of a clever pop idol in our celebrity-worshiping culture. There's no point in my arguing with people who base their opinions on ridiculous myths, like the 'restraining order' that never was. Cohen's deceptive tactics have not really evolved in the past twenty years, since he used them on me.

I really don't care if Gianelli thinks I am a star-struck 'scorned woman' who never got over her passing encounter with greatness. This Mafia-style lawyer's fixed opinions, based on trashy clichés say much more about him than they do about me or my writing, or why I became interested in what really happened to Kelley Lynch.

And of course, no one would ever suspect Leonard Cohen of encouraging Gianelli. But in my experience, Gianelli is exactly the kind of human megaphone Cohen places in charge of his 'secret business.' Like other clowns from Cohen's private entourage that I have met over the years, he may not even realize he's being used because he is ridiculous and therefore disposable. It's a fascinating system that owes much to the criminal underworld that Leonard Cohen skirts with all the skill of someone born into it. I'm sure Gianelli feels at home, and knows his place, in that world where he acts the part of a useful idiot whose job is to create a circus atmosphere and put the audience into a deeper state of trance.

I am by now firmly convinced Lynch is a patsy/victim of a weird consortium of Cohen associates, clueless supporters, and Cohen himself. If I hadn't lived next door to Leonard Cohen, and witnessed similar dynamics twenty years ago, I might believe differently. But the essence of what happened to Kelley also happened to me, two decades ago, on a lesser scale with lower stakes. It was relatively easy for me to walk away from it back then – my reputation was damaged but my life was not utterly destroyed by my association with Leonard Cohen, as Kelley's was.

I empathize with her situation, and see it as just one more story of the corruption that is sinking the whole world. I know Leonard Cohen would agree with that. He would only disagree with the idea that we all have an obligation to oppose injustice, rather than 'let it go by' and even profit from it.  

Ann D.

Let’s review who Stephen Gianelli is, how I encountered him, and what his activity consists of to date.  At some point in the spring of 2009, I stumbled upon Blogonaut’s Law Blog.  This blog was owned and run by Stephen Gianelli.  At that time, the blog seemed devoted to you and your trial.  Gianelli, a Bay Area lawyer, began focusing on your trial when Doron Weinberg announced that he was representing you.  I was surprised to find Michelle Blaine and Sprocket posting on Gianelli’s so-called law blog.  I had recently discovered Blaine’s entirely vindictive, vile, and vulgar blog.  In an attempt to defend you, and address factual issues related to Leonard Cohen, I posted a handful of comments on Blogonaut’s Law Blog.  In response, I was first attacked and subsequently “banned.”  Given the fact that this man pretends to support you, I found that of interest.  

In or around May 2009, Gianelli would publicly post that he heard from Leonard Cohen’s lawyers, Kory & Rice.  He also informed me that Pat Dixon was behind the Boulder, Colorado incident at Deneuve Construction I phoned you about.  He has also stated that he worked with the City Attorney on two occasions to have me falsely arrested.  Investigator Frayeh, who was an investigator on your case, informed me that Gianelli may have found a “sympathetic ear” about me with prosecutor Alan Jackson.  

Sometime soon after I posted on Gianelli’s blog, I received an email from Joff Belark who advised me that he was a journalist, interested in hearing my version of events, and was writing an article about the situation with Cohen.  That individual turned out to be Stephen Gianelli, the article was a hit piece, and this was the beginning of Gianelli’s endless criminal conduct with respect to me, my sons, sister, brother-in-law, elderly parents, witnesses, and just about everyone in my life.  He attempts to isolate me while threatening, intimidating, insulting, and slandering anyone who supports me or anyone who has provided me with a declaration.  Gianelli also transmits fraudulent and false statements to government agencies about me and attempts to elicit information.  Rutger would write “Belark” in response to his slanderous article.  He heard back and was then targeted for over seven straight years.  The same is true for Ray who was targeted since he was a minor.  

Gianelli’s blog, from what I can tell, was essentially dedicated to setting up reasonable doubt theories about you, permitting people (including himself as he uses monikers) to attack those theories, trashing me, and defending and promoting Leonard Cohen’s legal positions.  Gianelli attempts to infiltrate matters.  For example, he contacted IRS Chief Trial Counsel’s Office about a matter I filed with Tax Court in Washington, DC.  That matter involved a fraudulent Petition Leonard Cohen submitted to that Court.  Gianelli also contacted Bruce Cutler, using me to do so, and attempted to elicit information about you.  These are just two examples of matters Gianelli has attempted to infiltrate.  He has worked in tandem with numerous individuals such as Michelle Blaine and Susanne Walsh (Leonard Cohen’s fan).  Gianelli and Blaine literally targeted my email accounts and blogs causing them to be shut down.  My blogs were devoted to your case and innocence.  In June 2009, Blaine posted the following statements on her blog:

“Something kinda interesting... Henry Lee does NOT list the Spector case in his 'Famous Cases' listing.”

“Updated! Kelley Lynch Blog Is GONE! Blogger finally listened and has pulled the flagged blog. Thanks to all who flagged and especially to Blogonaut for initiating the pull.”

For years, Gianelli also worked in tandem with Cohen’s fan, Susanne Walsh, who would frequently copy Cohen’s lawyers on her harassing communications.  Their activity took place in harassing email communications and across the worldwide web.  Gianelli has also mailed me and others letters.  As a friend of mine (who was also targeted by Gianelli after providing me with a declaration noted), he is a psychopath.  I am clearly a 24/7 job for this man.  

The activity on the internet, as is true for you personally, was and remains deranged.  Whenever I post a comment, Gianelli and his fellow cyber-terrorists descend.  For example, in October 2009, I commented on a site called Phawker.com.  They had published an article on Leonard Cohen which contained defamatory remarks about me.  I therefore responded.  

Phawker posted my comment under the link:  “Leonard Cohen Is Not A Great Man.”  My comments were as follows:

DEAR PHAWKER:
Leonard Cohen is not a great man. He appears to have committed criminal tax fraud that I reported to the IRS, probably perjured himself in Phil Spector’s grand jury, defrauded me of millions, and seems to think it’s acceptable to lie in every courtroom he shows up in. There is nothing great about a calculated fraud liar. I am praying that Phil Spector nails him on his probable perjury and I personally will be litigating my own situation against him in the not too distant future. While journalists may be awed by a man who also appears to have a pattern of stealing from his advisers (Marty Machat comes to mind) ordinary folks are not impressed with his involvement with the destruction of my life. I’m not particularly impressed by his lawyer’s Declaration in my young son’s custody matter (which I view as coercion, witness tampering, an attempt to obstruct justice, etc.) and I found it truly deranged that he went into my young son’s father’s office to “allege” that I had sex with Oliver Stone. This just confirmed, to me, that Cohen is obsessed with me and keenly interested in my sex life. I never had sex with Oliver Stone and I was not Leonard Cohen’s lover. He is merely a pathological liar who believes Phil Spector and I will take the fall for him.
Kelley Lynch [former manager of Leonard Cohen]
Almost immediately after this was posted, Susanne Walsh (Cohen’s fan whose emails and posts Gianelli may actually write) descended.  Gianelli and others descended as well.  What unfolded can be described as nothing other than a psychotic attack on me.  Rutger was threatened.  Ray, who was a minor at the time, made an appearance.  He was literally asked to communicate privately with these adult strangers.  Ray would ultimately provide me with a declaration confirming that the emails he received from Gianelli, Walsh, and others (with Cohen’s lawyers copied in at times) made him physically ill.  Rutger has taken a far stronger position.  

The individuals posting on Phawker may very well have been made up primarily of fake names assumed by Stephen Gianelli.  That would include, but is not limited to, Kelly Green.  Kelly Green was a prolific commenter on Gianelli’s blog.  This particular aspect of Gianelli’s personality has it out for me.  At some point, I would end up being questioned on Phawker about you, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Baden and wondered if Alan Jackson himself was posting as “Kelly Green.”  It’s entirely possible that “Kelly Green” is some type of composite account.  I personally believe “Kelly Green” is in fact Stephen Gianelli.  

Interestingly enough, I would discover that as of 2007, Kelly Green had posted on the Darwin Exception that covered your trial.  The blog was dedicated to demonizing you.  The trial coverage on that blog appeared to have been written by a lawyer.  On September 2, 2007, below a piece recounting Bruce Cutler’s Opening Arguments in your case, Kelly Green posted vicious and obscene comments about Bruce Cutler, an individual “it” evidently hates.  I’ve captured all of this evidence.  The Darwin Exception was essentially devoted to trashing and undermining you.  I personally feel it might have been a means with which to communicate with jurors.  I’ve drawn the same conclusion about Sprocket’s blog.  Actually, Sprocket, Blaine, and many others, were posting on the Darwin Exception.  I have now concluded that these blogs were all coordinated with your trial.  I have also been targeted by all of these parties.  

Many of these individuals, including Susanne Walsh, have also targeted Paulette.  These parties are all defending Leonard Cohen, arguing his legal positions, and slandering me and now Paulette.  As I advised you previously, I started a Facebook page devoted to you, your trial, and the fact that you are innocent.  Susanne Walsh had Facebook remove the page.  When it was removed, you literally had hundreds of friends. 

As I’ve said, while publicly attacking and slandering me, Gianelli, Walsh, and others, relentlessly emailed me, terrorized my sons, contacted my elderly parents, harassed my sister, brother-in-law, friends, and everyone in my life.  They also transmitted their slanderous, false statements to government agencies such as IRS, FBI, and DOJ.  I refuted these email and internet attacks which were frequently copied to my sons, family members, and friends.  The harassment and slander generally related to Leonard Cohen, IRS, and you.  This scenario, which may very well have been intentionally designed, would ultimately lead to my being falsely arrested and imprisoned by the City Attorney of Los Angeles.  I was charged with violating a “domestic violence” order I was unaware of as well as annoying Leonard Cohen over his own conduct.  That would include his stories about you.  As I’ve said, Mick Brown informed me that he reviewed your Grand Jury transcripts and Cohen’s statements or testimony was presented to them.  I contacted the Grand Jury’s legal adviser who was unable to determine what witness presented these statements.  She advised me to contact your appellate attorneys.  Leonard Cohen advised me for approximately 20 years that you never held a gun on him and his statements to the media over the years were good rock ‘n roll stories.  I have heard countless, contradictory versions of his stories about you and believe none of them.  The prosecutor during my show trial, a woman who lied about everything to the jurors, elicited testimony from Cohen about you and the so called “gun” incident using an email I sent Dennis Riordan.  I informed Mr. Riordan that Cohen personally told me for twenty years that you never held a gun on him.  The prosecutor asked Cohen to review the email and confirm that he was a recipient.  He testified that he was and this allowed the prosecutor to elicit testimony about you and the infamous bullshit gun incident.  On cross-examination, Cohen confirmed that he was not a recipient.  He perjured himself on the stand about many things.  Alan Jackson and Steve Cooley were constant themes throughout my trial and Cooley literally had an investigator in the courtroom.  I assumed this was meant to intimidate me.  

Leonard Cohen has used baseless, fraudulent restraining orders to discredit and undermine me.  These courts hand them out like most people hand out Halloween candy.  LA Superior Court, without service or notice, assigned me a dating relationship with Cohen – who sexually harassed, sexually assaulted, and exposed his penis to me for years.  On March 23, 2012, at a so-called hearing prior to my trial, Cohen testified that we were in a purely business relationship and I never stole from him – just his peace of mind.  He was clearly not coached over those issues for that hearing and it obviously posed a problem for the prosecution which consisted of members of the City Attorney’s “Family Violence Unit.”  One cannot make this insanity up.  LA Superior Court, of course, has no remedies.  They continue to lie and have now exposed me to an extortionate, baseless lawsuit that involves Gianelli as I will explain below.  During my 2012 trial, Steve Cooley publicly aligned himself with Leonard Cohen.  Please keep in mind that at one point Cohen was represented by former DA Ira Reiner.  This may have led to the “anonymous tip” about our friendship being left for the DA’s office.  My public defender, who was nauseated, saw Cohen, Cooley’s investigator, and Cohen’s lawyers lunching together during my trial.  I think that sums things up.    My public defender concluded as follows:  the City Attorney was attempting to sabotage IRS (over Cohen), discredit me, the DA did not want your verdict overturned, and there may have been a juror plant on my jury.  I am aware that there may have been juror misconduct related to your trials as well.  My appellate attorney, who would end up being harassed by Gianelli and Walsh for over a year, wrote that he viewed my trial as an IRS matter that demanded an investigation.  Other conduct I evidently annoyed Cohen over was Rutger’s Whole Foods incident (where his fingers were ripped off), Ray’s custody matter (coordinated by Lindsey, Cohen, Kory, and possibly others), Bob Dylan and Paul Shaffer (whom I phoned to ask if there was some way they could help), federal tax matters, and some form of insanity with respect to IRS required tax and corporate information the prosecutor and her witnesses argued I was in possession of.  I was not.  This was the cornerstone of their set up trial and the jurors ultimately advised my lawyers that they wanted to hear from IRS so they understood perfectly well that one of the crucial issues related to my requests for tax and corporate information.  I am still not in possession of them and will now be forced to sue Cohen’s estate.  

Beginning in approximately November 2012, Gianelli and Walsh would begin emailing my so-called prosecutor, Sandra Jo Streeter.  Streeter is enamored of Cooley and Cohen.  In fact, she was gushing about them.  During my trial, she informed the jurors that Cooley elected not to prosecute Cohen.  I had filed a complaint with their Major Fraud Unit and was unaware that Pat Dixon and Alan Jackson ran that unit.  From my perspective, there may very well have been a quid pro quo that led to Cohen taking the stand and testifying about you and a gun.  It is important to note that my trial took place during the DA’s election campaign, both Alan Jackson and City Attorney Carmen Trutanich ran for that office, and David Mamet had recently informed the news media that he believed you were railroaded and was producing a film about your case.  Paulette actually gave me a copy of a ballot related to this election campaign and you were on it.  In other words, the powers that be in Los Angeles used you to advance their careers.  By the Spring of 2013, Streeter would use Gianelli’s communications, and my refutations, to retaliate against me.  Rutger, Ray, my sister, and Paulette were continuously harassed by the emails Gianelli and Walsh sent to the City Attorney. They frequently copied the City Attorney’s office and Investigator William Frayeh, who investigated elements of your case, on their utterly insane email communications.  

As it would turn out, Gianelli communicated extensively with Cohen’s lawyers, Robert Kory and Michelle Rice.  Not that long ago, they began what can only be described as an utterly moronic cover-your-ass operation.  

Paulette has been relentlessly harassed, stalked, threatened, and intimidated.  As you know, in June 2013, Paulette invited me to stay with her.  As of March 2013, Gianelli had begun harassing her.  Paulette sent me an email that confirmed what you told her after Clarkson’s death at your home.  Clarkson apparently advised you that “this is what I can do to your cock” before shooting herself.  I posted that email on my blog and Gianelli swooped in on Paulette.  

Since I spoke with you at dinner following the Clarkson incident, I don’t need anyone – least of all criminals stalking and harassing me and others – telling me what happened.  I distinctly recall asking you whether or not you killed this woman and your advising me that she shot herself and going into great detail about what happened.  I also recall your advising me that the gun was not yours.  

In or around February 2015, Paulette and I participated in interviews with a small internet radio program, Truth Sentinel.  Ann Diamond participated as well.  The interviews were broken down into two segments:  one about you and your case and one about Leonard Cohen and what actually unfolded between us.  Ann Diamond discussed her history with Cohen and his so-called involvement in CIA’s MK Ultra Program.  I have no knowledge of his involvement in any such program but Cohen personally advised me that he was a participant in this program.  Immediately after our interviews were posted online, which ultimately concluded that you were innocent and Cohen may very well have been guilty, Stephen Gianelli descended.  He continues to slander me and Ann Diamond on that site.  The issues he is slandering me over primarily relate to Leonard Cohen and his fraudulent legal matters that involve me.  

Stephen Gianelli also writes third parties slandering me and Paulette.  One of those individuals is a gentleman by the name of Alan Hootnick who believes you are innocent.  At some point, not too long ago, Gianelli began emailing Alan Hootnick and me.  He attempted to elicit information about Paulette and my communications with you and your attorneys.  Gianelli informed us that he has someone who communicates with you regularly.  He advised us that you and I are not friends.  Gianelli also wrote that his associate read you an entirely slanderous article he wrote about me which also slandered Paulette Brandt.  It is beyond obvious that Gianelli is not only an unofficial member of Leonard Cohen’s legal team but affiliated with your prosecution.  At some point on the Truth Sentinel site, where Paulette and my interviews appeared, Gianelli posted that the gun Clarkson used to shoot herself was yours and stated that Clarkson’s DNA was not on the ammunition.  This is a man that has followed every element of your trial so it is my personal opinion that he made these remarks to elicit information from people about your appeal.  Your lawyers argued that the gun was not yours, Bruce Cutler advised Mick Brown that the gun was not yours, and your appeal brief clearly confirmed that Clarkson’s DNA was on the ammunition.  No one who supports you would argue these issues in the manner in which Gianelli did.  

Another point of interest is the fact that Gary [Spector] recently posted online that he believes you are guilty because you never told him you were innocent.  Louis [Spector] posted that you had guns, such as the Colt .38, in your Beverly Hills home and commented that the gun Clarkson used to shoot herself was “registered to someone who used to work” for you.  I have been advised by a very reliable source that this gun belonged to your former employee Michelle Blaine.  She evidently planted the gun in the drawer the night Clarkson shot herself and told Clarkson to use it in the “routine” she always used on her escort clients.  I believe another investigator has gathered admissible evidence and am praying that it finds the light of day.
  
I am wondering if you have ever previously had any types of dealings with Gianelli.  This man should absolutely be investigated.  

By the way, I spoke to Stephen Machat who confirmed with Sony that Leonard Cohen sold your master tapes (Death of a Ladies’ Man) to them.  Stephen, who negotiated the contracts related to that album, also confirmed that you owned the masters, all royalties were to be paid directly to you, and Cohen’s accounts with CBS/Sony were not to be recouped using any income from this album.  As you will recall, I called Sony personally about your interest in this album, and the fact that Cohen was receiving all royalty income, sometime after Marty’s death.  

I was wondering if you would be willing to provide me with a declaration about Leonard Cohen, his lies about you over the years, the theft of your master tapes and royalties, as well as any information you have with respect to his tax history.  I do recall all your faxes over the years “joking” about Leonard Cohen and his tax matters.  It does appear that he has a history of tax evasion, in the United States and Canada, dating back to 1970 when he obtained his first green card.  That might explain the lengths he has gone to destroy my life, target my sons and elderly parents, and – due to his good rock ‘n roll gun stories about you – it might even explain why the District Attorney and City Attorney of Los Angeles publicly aligned themselves with him and targeted me.  

I’ve heard that you have experienced difficulties with your mail.  Therefore, I’ve sent copies of this letter to Bruce Cutler, Donald Horgan, Dennis Riordan, Charles Sevilla, and, Doron Weinberg.  I believe the information I am sending you relates to your trial, Leonard Cohen, and Paulette and my utterly inane situations. 

I hope your health has improved and pray for you constantly.

                                                                        Love,
