Hello Mr. Morse,
I left you a message
about the fact that Stephen Gianelli has relentlessly targeted me, my sons,
sister, elderly parents, friends, business associates, and others for six
straight years now. He continues on with his criminal conduct and has
become emboldened. He has even issued not-so-veiled threats about his
alleged Mafia family connections. The stakes are quite high hear as they
involve the Phil Spector matter and Leonard Cohen's criminal tax fraud. I
do not know Gianelli, who is now attempting to discredit and slander my
witnesses, and people are noting that he seems to be a deranged
psychopath. I couldn't agree more. This article explains a bit of
what has unfolded to date. On June 23, 2015, I have a hearing before LA
Superior Court. I filed a Motion for Terminating Sanctions with the Court
and asked the judge to refer Leonard Cohen and his lawyers to the DA for
perjury prosecutions. I was not served his lawsuit. The Complaint,
an entirely fraudulent narrative, was used to defend Leonard Cohen with the
head of fraud for the Western Division of the United States. Oddly
enough, Phil Spector's prosecutor and DA joined forces publicly with Leonard
Cohen in targeting me. My trial, an intent to annoy Leonard Cohen, was
nothing other than a federal tax matter (before the Superior Court) with
testimony about Phil Spector and a gun. Stephen Gianelli appears to be an
agent provocateur and infiltrator.
Gianelli is now
slandering you and arguing his own defense with respect to the case I brought
to the attention of IRS, FBI, and DOJ. I suggested they investigate and
audit the matter. The situation is more pathetic given the fact that
Gianelli has his sights on my roommate, Phil Spector's former girlfriend and
personal assistant (who worked in his house, has known him for around 40 years,
never saw him with a gun, and just gave an interview with me to a small
internet radio program. He has decided to help defraud her in Small
Claims Court by representing a woman who refuses to pay Paulette Brandt 14
months' rental arrears. The judge initially ruled in Ms. Brandt's
favor. Gianell
is upset with the declaration my friend, Linda Carol, prepared which will be submitted to numerous departments in LA Superior Court: He thinks
it makes his new client sound "degenerate." After receiving Paulette Brandt's
rent demand letter, Von Watteville phoned Leonard Cohen's lawyer and was screaming about
Leonard Cohen and his lawyer in the hallway of the court in front of the
mediator. Since the mediator advised me to bring this matter to the
attention of the Court, it seemed appropriate to have honest declarations about
this woman. Feel free to take a look at my blog - riverdeepbook.blogspot.com. I've been
documenting everything for IRS since reporting Leonard Cohen's criminal tax
fraud to IRS on April 15, 2005. The City Attorney attempted to argue that
this is a "ruse" and I am not in need of IRS required tax and
corporate information from Cohen. The prosecutor lied about many IRS
matters and then retaliated against me. Stephen Gianelli advised me that
he worked with the City Attorney to have me falsely arrested and imprisoned on
two occasions.
I don't presume to
spout off about your case. I just suggested that IRS, FBI, and DOJ should
investigate it and informed them that I felt it might be the perfect case to
prove that Gianelli has defrauded others and engaged in very similar conduct in
the past. I would love to hear more details about the document Gianelli
alleges you ripped up and taped back together. I do not believe his
version for one moment. He is a bald faced liar and every word out of his
mouth is a lie. I find it offensive that Gianelli, who I view as a Criminal
Stalker, is writing me that you provided "shoddy representation" but
this is how he functions. He slanders and trashes people to pure
strangers. Did you get run over by Gianelli?
I almost laughed out
loud at Gianelli's comment that he is a skilled litigator. One does
wonder if he is merely a liar or completely unhinged as well. He has now sent me the treaty
between Greece and U.S. He feels untouchable and free to engage in
blatant criminal witness tampering.
Have I fallen
far? Well, I didn't accept millions of dollars to lie about my former
colleagues and help Leonard Cohen falsely accuse them of defrauding him.
I was then forced into homelessness over the situation. I wasn't served
Cohen's lawsuit. The prosecutor felt entitled to lie about me and
the misconduct and Brady violations were egregious. I believe I can
explain this Criminal Enterprise to a federal court. The local government
of Los Angeles has now unlawfully assigned me a statutory required dating
relationship with Leonard Cohen in an attempt to move offensively against my
allegations that he sexually harassed me and exposed his "penis" to
me for years. The prosecutor attempted to argue that my defending myself,
due to the fact that Leonard Cohen and his lawyer attempted to stir up a
custody matter by falsely accusing me of having sex with Oliver Stone, was
actually my intent to annoy Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen's long and
publicly documented history of illicit drug abuse is now my "common plan
and scheme" pursuant to my prosecutor. If the situation weren't so
tragic, I personally think people would assume that I was actually in a Monty
Python film rather than a deadly serious situation involving most of the local
government of Los Angeles, Phil Spector's murder trial, and Leonard Cohen's allegedly egregious criminal tax fraud. Cohen has now, via a default judgment, also
stolen millions of dollars from me. The Court simply decided, with Cohen,
to willfully disregard all corporate books, records, stock units, agreements,
and federal tax returns. I'm unclear why the Court thinks Leonard Cohen's
personal tax lawyer included me as a partner on many federal and state tax
returns and documents. I'm certain Cohen and his lawyers (who now served
as "paid witnesses") will come up with yet another lie to explain
that away. Unfortunately, Cohen testified before LA Superior Court that I never stole from him. I believe, based on Gianelli's statements that
Cohen will attempt to argue that he meant I didn't steal a potted plant from
Cohen's front yard.
I enclose my letter to
Spector's former prosecutor and some declarations that might prove helpful.
My press release
contains the links to the radio interviews. Gianelli has slandered me
there. He is also slandering a witness (Ann McLean) who provided me
(although Cohen and Gianelli are unaware of this right now) with the
declaration I've enclosed. She knows how Cohen operates. He uses
operatives like Gianelli to target, slander, and defame people.
On the Spector
interview link (Truth Sentinel) Gianelli is arguing Spector prosecution
theories. Bruce Cutleer (and Phillip himself - when I spoke with him) was
clear: the gun was not Phil Spector. In the appellate brief, Dennis
Riordan (and his colleagues) was clear - the DNA of the woman who shot herself
at Phil Spector's house is on the ammunition. That tends to prove that
she loaded the bullets into the gun that wasn't Spector's. The gun residue
was on her hands. There was hardly any blood spatter on the jacket my
roommate gave Phil Spector. Do read the Appellate Brief. It's the
anatomy of a set up.
I would love to hear
your version of events. Gianelli, if he reads this, might just write and lie to FBI and DOJ. Hard
to know since he is really quite deranged.
All the best,
Kelley Lynch

PRESS RELEASE
Will IRS prosecute
singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen for criminal tax fraud?
Was Leonard Cohen a
participant in CIA’s MKULTRA program?
On June 23, 2015, in Department 24 of Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Robert
Hess will determine whether or not he will vacate singer songwriter Leonard
Cohen’s default judgment against his former personal manager, Kelley Lynch, and
refer Cohen together with his lawyers, Robert Kory and Michelle Rice, to the
appropriate authorities for perjury prosecutions and disciplinary
actions. Judge Hess will, of course, be acting without personal
jurisdiction over Kelley Lynch as she was never served Leonard Cohen’s legal
complaint or summons.

The details of the salacious story involving Leonard Cohen, his former personal
manager, allegations of criminal tax fraud, and Cohen’s three versions of his
famous Phil Spector gun incident now before LA Superior Court can be found
at riverdeepbook.blogspot.com. Journalist
Ann Diamond’s article, Whatever Happened to Kelley Lynch, gives a very nice,
concise overview of what actually unfolded when Leonard Cohen heard (in the
fall of 2004) that his trusted personal manager planned to report his tax fraud
to Internal Revenue Service. After publishing this article (enclosed
below) on her blog, Leonard Cohen and his lawyers promptly threatened to sue
Ms. Diamond. To date, the media coverage has been limited to Leonard
Cohen’s highly fictional narrative that Kelley Lynch was his disgruntled
ex-lover who embezzled his retirement funds, stalked him for no reason whatsoever,
and may have wanted to attend his concert. While this rather entertaining
story has a fairy tale ring to it, the reality of the situation is far more
scandalous.
In addition, Kelley Lynch was
actually prosecuted for, among other things, annoying Leonard Cohen by
addressing the fact that he falsely accused her of having sex with Oliver Stone
to stir up a custody matter (that was successful although essentially a default
judgment); explaining to journalist Glenn Greenwald (the Intercept) that Cohen
exposed himself to Lynch and routinely sexually harassed her; repeating what
Mick Brown (UK Telegraph) advised her – that Cohen’s statements/testimony were
presented to Phil Spector’s Grand Jury; requesting IRS tax and corporate
information that Cohen is required to provide her; and violating a fraudulent
restraining order (primarily used to discredit and silence Lynch) that the
Court repeatedly told her (and Phil Spector’s former personal assistant,
Paulette Brandt) had expired in 2009. It was during Kelley Lynch’s 2012
trial for annoying Leonard Cohen that she understood he, former District
Attorney Steve Cooley (who prosecuted Phil Spector), and City Attorney Carmen
Trutanich had publicly joined forces to target and discredit her. Lynch
has now notified Cohen, the City of Los Angeles, and County of Los Angeles that
she will be litigating these issues in federal court.

Kelley Lynch is the woman accused in 2005 of skimming millions from singer Leonard Cohen’s retirement fund. I knew of her through friends of Leonard Cohen, and had heard her described in glowing terms as the agent who, singlehandedly, saved Cohen’s career in the 1990s.
In early May of this year, Lynch suddenly contacted me. She said
she was mainly interested in my perceptions of Cohen as a former friend and
next door neighbour in Montreal. At one time I also studied with his Zen Master
in California, and had spent time with him on Hydra, Greece.
Not having heard her side of the story (I doubt that anyone has, apart from a circle of her closest friends), I was curious. Over the next few weeks, she shared several documents pertaining to the case including an affidavit written and signed by her older son, Rutger.
Not having heard her side of the story (I doubt that anyone has, apart from a circle of her closest friends), I was curious. Over the next few weeks, she shared several documents pertaining to the case including an affidavit written and signed by her older son, Rutger.
Together, they paint a picture very much at variance from the
sketchy media image of Lynch as a reckless, delusional woman on the brink of a
career meltdown. Lynch's own timeline also includes disturbing behind-the-scene
dealings that suggest she may have been set up to take the blame for Cohen's
tax situation.
The following account is based on what Lynch has sent me --
Since 2005 when she became the object of media gossip, little if anything has been heard from Kelley Lynch.
A single mother with two sons, Lynch was Leonard Cohen's personal manager from approximately 1988 to 2004, and was known for her skill, hard work, and dedication. Until 2004, Kelley lived and worked in Los Angeles where she still has many friends and acquaintances in the entertainment world including Phil Spector and Oliver Stone.
Her own account of the events that wrecked her career, varies widely from the media portrait of a reckless, delusional woman in the throes of a personal meltdown. The meltdown was real, however. By late December, 2005, Lynch had lost custody of one son and was homeless and living on the streets with her older son, Rutger, who witnessed the chain of bizarre events that had begun a year earlier.
In 2004, Lynch owned a house in Brentwood, and still worked for Cohen, who owed her money for royalties and other services, but was increasingly involved with his new girlfriend, Anjani Thomas, ex-wife of Cohen’s attorney, Robert Kory.

In retrospect, Lynch believes she was set up by Cohen and his
representatives to help cover up a tax situation which made the IRS “nervous.”
In September 2004, Cohen’s attorney Weston told Lynch that a financial entity
known as Traditional Holdings, LLC could be overturned by the IRS. Lynch, who
had been selected as a partner on the entity, became uneasy and consulted a new
accountant, who referred her to tax lawyers, who found irregularities in
Cohen's tax history, both in the US and Canada where he has residences.
Rattled by what she was hearing – that she was being dragged into criminal tax fraud -- Lynch called the IRS in Washington and also contacted their website. An IRS collection agent advised her to call the Fraud Hotline, which she did.
Told that any further action on her part might implicate her in fraud, Lynch refused to meet with Cohen or turn over the corporate books. At that stage, Cohen’s advisers began claiming that certain payments, distributions, or advances made to her were actually "over-payments." Lynch says their accounting was incomplete and ignored her share of intellectual property, unpaid commissions and royalties, and share in Traditional Holdings, LLC. Apparently Lynch had also been issued K1 partnership tax documents and made a partner on another Cohen investment entity, LC Investments, LLC, without her permission or awareness.
Lynch says an increasingly nervous and desperate Cohen was pressuring her to agree to mediation and told a friend of hers that Lynch was "the love of his life." She and Cohen had had a brief affair in 1990, but Cohen now was offering her 50% of his "community property" as well as "palimony" through lawyer Robert Kory at a meeting attended by Lynch's legal representatives and her accountant, Dale Burgess. To Lynch, none of this made sense at the time.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles District Attorney's office received an anonymous tip informing them that Lynch was a friend of producer Phil Spector, whom Lynch maintains is innocent. Cohen, on the other hand, had given an interview in which he described a gun-waving Spector who threatened him during recording sessions in 1977.

Cohen, on the other hand, had given an interview in which he described a gun-waving Spector who threatened him during recording sessions in 1977.
At around the same time he was offering her “millions”, Lynch
says, Cohen was also circulating slanderous stories about her. She believes
Cohen encouraged Los Angeles record producer Steve Lindsey, the father of her
son Ray, to initiate a custody suit – on May 25, 2005, the same day a 25-man
SWAT team from the LAPD, acting on a bogus 911 call, suddenly cordoned off her
street and surrounded her home in response to a "hostage taking."
Earlier that morning, Lynch says, her 12 year old son Ray woke up not feeling well. She sent an email to his school informing them she was keeping him at home. When the boy's father found out Ray was home he became agitated and abusive over the phone to Lynch.
Lynch says she had young people who worked for her coming and going that day, and did not want Ray’s father coming to the house and attacking her, as he had in the past. She called her older son Rutger, who was visiting a friend nearby, and asked him to pick Ray up and take him down the hill where actress Cloris Leachman waited in her car. Leachman, a friend of Lindsey, took charge of Ray – just as seven LAPD squad cars came speeding up Mandeville Canyon Road in the direction of Lynch’s house. With them was Ray’s father, Steve Lindsey.
Lynch says she looked out the window and saw armed men on her lawn. Her son Rutger and his friends were telling police there was no hostage-taking, that they had spent the morning with Lynch, and that there must be some mistake. For reasons no one understands, LAPD/Inglewood PD decided to believe Steve Lindsey, who had left the scene.
Police later gave varying explanations about what led up to the incident. West LAPD said they responded to a report that someone heard "shots fired." But a company that oversees SWAT said Lynch would have to have a superior caliber weapon to warrant such a high risk entry. A member of the SWAT team claimed to have seen a note that Lynch’s sister had placed the call stating Lynch posed “a danger to herself and everyone around her.” Her sister denies this.
Lynch stayed inside her house and called her former custody lawyer, Lee Kanon Alpert. She also called Leonard Cohen, assuming he had played a role in the events unfolding on her lawn. Lynch says she knew Steve Lindsey had also been meeting with Cohen and his attorney, and had recently told their son Ray that Lynch was “going to jail,” upsetting the boy. She says Cohen taped the phone call later used in his successful court case against her – for which, Lynch says, she never received a summons.

She says Cohen taped the phone call later used in his successful court case against her – for which, Lynch says, she never received a summons.
Lynch says, “Police were on my hillside and crouching under my
kitchen window.” She says the standoff on her lawn continued for several more
hours, disrupting the neighbourhood. Members of Inglewood Police Department
also participated in the operation.
Eventually, she decided to go into the back yard. Seeing her son
Rutger acting as a “human shield and hostage negotiator,” Lynch ventured out
front with her Akita on leash and joked to the cops: "Who am I supposed to
be holding hostage? My dog?"
The police responded by telling her son they would only shoot Lynch and her dog if necessary.
“That was when I dove into the pool.”
SWAT team members searched her house. As they entered, Lynch's African Grey parrot, Lou, called out: "I see dead people!" – further alarming the nervous cops.
Offering her a hand out of the pool, one officer said they were only there to help her and not to hurt her.
“No one asked me if I was all right; no one questioned me about my well-being.” The Medical Examiners Office later wondered how the police had evaluated her. After stating they were not arresting her, they handcuffed Lynch, still in her bikini. On her way out the door, her son managed to hand her a brocade jacket.
Although she lived near UCLA Medical Center, she was taken in a squad car to King-Drew Medical Centre in Watts, 40 miles away and a three-hour drive in traffic. Known as one of America’s worst hospitals, King-Drew was recently closed down as a place where patients routinely die from neglect and medical errors. During the long ride through South Central Los Angeles, Lynch says she was questioned closely about her relationship with Phil Spector, who had been charged with first degree murder of Lana Clarkson. In the car, Lynch voiced concern over what awaited her at the hospital but was told by a woman cop: "This will be good for you."
“I felt I was being kidnapped”.
At Emergency, the admitting psychiatrist administered anti-psychotic drugs without authorization and left Lynch in the waiting area for hours, still in her bikini and brocade jacket, and handcuffed to a chair. A nurse advised her she would be transferred – but did not tell her where. Examining her file, the nurse noticed it listed her as 19 years old with wrong social security number, wrong date of birth, wrong religion, and her name misspelled as "Kelly Lynch" Lynch thinks it was the same file she had seen, several months earlier, in the hands of the Special Investigator who came to question her about Spector.
A second doctor told her to wait her turn to ensure no further harm would come to her, and assured her that nothing in the King Drew report could cause her to lose custody of her child. The following day, she was released after nearly 24 hours in the psych ward.
Back home, Lynch learned that while she was being held at the hospital her younger son's father, Steven Clark Lindsey, had filed for custody of her son Ray Charles Lindsey and obtained a restraining order denying her access to the boy. She says Lindsey attempted to convince doctors at King Drew that she was dangerous, in order to have her committed, She says Lindsey also threatened the psychiatrist who had her released.

She says Lindsey attempted to convince doctors at King Drew that she was dangerous, in order to have her committed, She says Lindsey also threatened the psychiatrist who had her released.
On that same day, Cohen’s attorney Robert Kory filed a Declaration
in the custody matter, as did Betsy Superfon (a friend of Cohen, Kory and
Lindsey who had befriended Lynch a few months earlier ). Superfon later told
Lynch she didn't realize what she was signing, and that Cohen had offered
Lindsey money “or something else” to take Ray away from Lynch.
Her older son alleges Lindsey offered him money to go to Leonard Cohen's lawyer's office and transfer or sign over Lynch’s house to Cohen or his attorney Robert Kory. Rutger refused and phoned his own father, who advised him to contact a lawyer.
Two weeks later, in early June, as she drove down her street to buy dog food, a Mercedes sped out of a neighbouring driveway and rear-ended her car, Lynch was thrown forward, fracturing her nose against the steering well, and was knocked unconscious. Later, she says, as she drove back up the hill to her home, the same driver was standing in his driveway and called out: “We are watching you” as she passed.
Seeing his injured, bleeding mother enter the house, her older son again phoned his father, who may have called 911. Accounts vary as whether the call referred to an incident of "domestic violence" or a "drug overdose." Either way, police arrived at Lynch’s door for the second time in two weeks. Over the protests of her son, they entered while she was on the phone to a friend, Dr. Wendi Knaak who stayed on the phone talking with Rutger while police again handcuffed Lynch. This time they took her to UCLA hospital where her obvious head injuries were ignored. Instead, she was once again drugged and placed in the psychiatric unit where she remained for several days.
Lynch and her advisors maintain these events were coordinated by Cohen, Kory and Lindsey, with the help of former LA District Attorney Ira Reiner in a well- orchestrated plan to traumatize and discredit her – paving the way for media stories which accused her of skimming millions from Cohen’s retirement fund.
In the summer of 2005, as Lynch was struggling to save her home and protect her child from a father her friends describe as "viciously anti-social" and “violent”, reports of Leonard Cohen's financial troubles hit the press. They alleged the 70-something singer had been scammed by his personal manager, Kelley Lynch, who colluded with an advisor at the AGILE Group in Colorado to send him false financial statements while emptying his accounts of millions of dollars.
Although listed as the owner of Traditional Holdings, the entity in question, Lynch says she never received any statements from the AGILE Group -- who instead had been sending them to Cohen -- having changed her mailing address to Cohen's home in Los Angeles. She has since filed a complaint with the US Post Office for mail tampering.
Her older son alleges Lindsey offered him money to go to Leonard Cohen's lawyer's office and transfer or sign over Lynch’s house to Cohen or his attorney Robert Kory. Rutger refused and phoned his own father, who advised him to contact a lawyer.
Two weeks later, in early June, as she drove down her street to buy dog food, a Mercedes sped out of a neighbouring driveway and rear-ended her car, Lynch was thrown forward, fracturing her nose against the steering well, and was knocked unconscious. Later, she says, as she drove back up the hill to her home, the same driver was standing in his driveway and called out: “We are watching you” as she passed.
Seeing his injured, bleeding mother enter the house, her older son again phoned his father, who may have called 911. Accounts vary as whether the call referred to an incident of "domestic violence" or a "drug overdose." Either way, police arrived at Lynch’s door for the second time in two weeks. Over the protests of her son, they entered while she was on the phone to a friend, Dr. Wendi Knaak who stayed on the phone talking with Rutger while police again handcuffed Lynch. This time they took her to UCLA hospital where her obvious head injuries were ignored. Instead, she was once again drugged and placed in the psychiatric unit where she remained for several days.
Lynch and her advisors maintain these events were coordinated by Cohen, Kory and Lindsey, with the help of former LA District Attorney Ira Reiner in a well- orchestrated plan to traumatize and discredit her – paving the way for media stories which accused her of skimming millions from Cohen’s retirement fund.
In the summer of 2005, as Lynch was struggling to save her home and protect her child from a father her friends describe as "viciously anti-social" and “violent”, reports of Leonard Cohen's financial troubles hit the press. They alleged the 70-something singer had been scammed by his personal manager, Kelley Lynch, who colluded with an advisor at the AGILE Group in Colorado to send him false financial statements while emptying his accounts of millions of dollars.
Although listed as the owner of Traditional Holdings, the entity in question, Lynch says she never received any statements from the AGILE Group -- who instead had been sending them to Cohen -- having changed her mailing address to Cohen's home in Los Angeles. She has since filed a complaint with the US Post Office for mail tampering.
NOTE: It appears that Leonard Cohen, or his representatives,
attempted to change Lynch's mailing address from her home in Brentwood,
California to his home in Los Angeles, California. A Complaint was filed
with USPS.
She insists Cohen sued her because she went to the IRS about his tax situation. She says he is not, and never was, "broke" and that missing funds went to buy homes for his son Adam Cohen and girlfriend, singer Anjani Thomas, ex-wife of Robert Kory. Noting Cohen is famous for his financial largesse and once gave Zen Master Sasaki Roshi $500,000 as a gift, Lynch also cites hefty payments to advisers, various transaction fees, personal taxes, and other monies which may have been sent offshore.
While Cohen and Lindsey attempted to persuade others, including LA Superior Court, that she intended to flee to Tibet or another non-extradition country, Lynch was isolated and penniless and still in Los Angeles. Lynch was former personal secretary to the late Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, a flamboyant Tibetan spiritual teacher who founded Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado in the 1970s, and died in 1987. She says various Tibetan lamas are praying for her safety.

resided with his son (her nephew) for years; and was Kusum Lingpa Rinpoche's
personal assistant and is his chos kyi dags mos and lineage holder.
Journalists covering the story were either unable, or didn't bother, to track Lynch down, and most reported Cohen's statements as fact. The NY Times contacted Kelley for a quote which they never printed
By July 2005, Lynch had lost her custody battle and Ray went to live with his father. On December 28, she and Rutger were evicted from the house in Brentwood, and ended up homeless in Santa Monica, which has no resources for the homeless. The Police Department gave her no help and, she claims, laughed when she brought in evidence that she was being stalked by a known serial killer while she camped on the beach.
In 2006, Cohen was awarded a symbolic $9 million settlement in a civil suit against Lynch, who still does not have a lawyer representing her. Corporate books and other evidence of fraud appear to have been overlooked by Judge Ken Freeman in his judgment, Lynch says, although she admits she has not read the court documents and was never served a summons. At the time of the decision, she told reporters she lacked the money to make a phone call. That same year, her older son lost his fingers in an accident with a meat grinder while he was working at Whole Foods in Los Angeles and Lynch could not afford a bus ticket to visit him in hospital.
Lynch heard through a journalist that Cohen later testified for the District Attorney’s office in a secret grand jury relating to the Phil Spector case with former District Attorney Ira Reiner acting as his lawyer. Reiner is a personal friend of Cohen, and as D.A. presided over some high-profile cases including the “Night Stalker” serial killer and the McMartin Day Care scandal.
Recently, on June 17, 2008, Cohen's lawsuit against the Agile Group was thrown out of court for lack of evidence. In response the AGILE Group dropped its counter-suit accusing Cohen of defamation and fraud. AGILE still claims to be shocked that a singer of Leonard Cohen's talent and stature would engage in false accusations against his own representatives.
Lynch believes Cohen and AGILE colluded to defraud her. She continues to deny all allegations against her, and remains hopeful that Phil Spector's lawyer, Bruce Cutler, will represent her in recouping damages to her livelihood and reputation. She now lives in another state and recently learned her younger son, 15, whom she has not seen since July 2005, stopped attending school last January.
These days Cohen’s fans seem to have expended their rage at Kelley Lynch for driving their idol into bankruptcy. Some now say she unwittingly did them a service -- by forcing him to go on tour for the first time in nearly two decades.
At 74, singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen continues to ride a wave of sympathy, gathering wide support from the music world and even some British royalty. Unquestionably, his career and finances have benefited from news reports that he is too impoverished to retire.
From his tower of song, Cohen has written:
I smile when I'm angry
I cheat and I lie
I do what I have to do
To get by
And I’m always alone
And my heart is like ice
And it’s crowded and cold
In my secret life
My Secret Life. Leonard Cohen
His many admirers need to listen closely.
