It seems disgraced Idaho Senator Larry “I Am Not Gay” Craig isn’t the only public figure seeking to amend public records. Per The Hollywood Reporter, director John McTiernan has filed court papers
seeking to withdraw his 2006 guilty plea of making false statements to an
FBI agent in the wiretapping investigation into former celebrity sleuth
Anthony Pellicano.
McTiernan (Die Hard) filed the motion Monday in Los Angeles
federal court, the same day he was scheduled to be sentenced in the matter, which has now been rolled over to September 24. McTiernan’s new attorney of three weeks, Milton Grimes, said his client should have never pleaded guilty. “We don’t think, based on our preliminary review, he
committed a crime and violated federal law,” Grimes said.
The most interesting part of all of this? Wait… McTiernan was wiretapping someone over Rollerball? Show of hands — who else remembers that movie actually exists?
Also interesting — there’s some guy named Milton Grimes. That guy shouldn’t be a lawyer, he should be a PI!
