U.S. District Judge Dale Fischer denied today's latest moves to delay the trial for celebrity private investigator Anthony Pellicano and his co-defendants. It looks more than ever like the trial will go forth on Feb. 27. Entertainment lawyer Terry Christensen, one of the six defendants, asked for a stay to appeal to the 9th Circuit. No dice this time, said Fischer. The trial has already been delayed at least four times.
