Hello Mr. Riordan,

Hello Mr. Riordan,
These are the quotes from the first transcript (there are three) re. Phil Spector, Steve Coley, and Alan Jackson. I have been very clear that Mick Brown advised me that Cohen testified before the Grand Jury. Mick Brown has now clarified that Cohen's statements were presented to Phillip's Grand Jury. He has reviewed the transcripts. Cohen's statements were also used in the prosecution's motions. There is an objection re. the relevance of this insanity. One thing that's relevant - Streeter is in possession of an email from Cohen that she concealed from the jurors. Since Streeter raised Cooley and Jackson repeatedly; had the DA's investigator in the courtroom; etc. I do think she could figure out that Leonard Cohen was used to indict Phil Spector (see the statements Mick Brown emailed me about) and one version of his gun story was also used in the prosecutor's motions. I'll speak to Francisco about this because I think this is egregious prosecutorial misconduct and I also happen to think this is illegal discovery.
Love,
Kelley
PHIL SPECTOR
Streeter: What about -- did she ever mention Phil Spector or Phillip in any of those?
Cohen: She accused me of testifying before a Secret Grand Jury which resulted in the conviction of Phil Spector. RT 57
Streeter: Okay, in any of her emails, did she ever mention Phil Spector?
Cohen: She often mentioned Phil Spector, repeating over and over that I had testified before a Grand Jury and I was involved in the conviction of Phil Spector. RT 61
Streeter: Did you have any involvement in the Phillip Spector trial?
Cohen: None whatsoever … May I qualify that?
Streeter: Yes.
Cohen: At the very beginning of the trial, after the -- the death of Lana Clarkson was made public, I was visited by two sheriffs from LA County. And they interviewed me as to my relationship with Phil Spector. My attorney, Mr. Cron, was present at the time. I told the detectives that Phil Spector had produced an album of mine in 1977, and they asked me about some stories that were circulating in the newspaper about his use of guns in the studio. I told them of my experience. Then they asked me when I’d last seen Phil Spector. I said the last I’d seen him was shortly after the record was released, which I think was 1977 or 1978, and I hadn’t seen him since. When they discovered that I hadn’t seen him since, they were no longer interested in interviewing me and left. So that was some connection I did have with the trial. Subsequent to that, I’ve had nothing to do with the trial whatsoever.
Streeter: When you spoke to the detectives do you know where Ms. Lynch was?
Cohen: My attorney, Mr. Cron, asked Ms. Lynch to leave the room, so that I think the attorney/client privilege would not be challenged.
Streeter: But she was somewhere around?
Cohen: She was in my house. RT 159
NOTE: Steve Cron previously represented me, did not represent Leonard Cohen, and I did not sign a conflict waiver. This is perjury.
Email dated April 18, 2011 - to Dennis Riordan. Leonard Cohen and his lawyers were not copied in on this email. I believe Alan Jackson was.
Streeter: If you could look at it and 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. RT 161
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 the LAPD. RT 161
Streeter: Is there any mention of Mr. Spector in that email?
Cohen: Yes, Ma’am, there is.
Streeter: And is there any mention of you?
Cohen: Yes. It says, everyone wants to know about Cohen’s perjury in the Phil Spector matter. RT 162
Streeter: And is that something that Ms. -- prior to that date of December 17th, 2011, is that something that Ms. Lynch has accused you of, of perjuring yourself?
Cohen: Yes. Ms. Lynch has continually accused me of testifying against Phil Spector in the Secret Grand Jury. RT 163
Streeter: Is there any reference to a Cooley and another person in page 1?
Cohen: Yes, there is.
Streeter: And can you read that sentence that refers to Mr. Cooley?
Cohen: Cooley and Jackass must run for office, and if an innocent man must take the fall, sobeit. RT 198
Streeter: Is there any reference to Mr. Cooley?
Cohen: Yes. It says, Cooley’s tough on crimes but doesn’t mind young men being maimed. He has to stand with the fraud thief, Cohen. RT 198
Cohen: Phil Spector is in prison for Christmas because Steve Cooley and Alan Jackson had to run for District Loser. Well, Steven Machat is a music insider who knows Cohen is a fraud and a thief and who has stolen millions from his father and himself. RT 206
Public Defender: I know I’ve made a lot of these objections, but a lot of these I don’t think go to the relevance of he knows about Steve Cooley and Alan Jackson that don’t reference Mr. Cohen. RT 209
