Bert Fields yet to take stand in Pellicano trial

April 16, 2008 Bert Fields sat for most of Wednesday in the cafeteria of the downtown federal courts building, waiting to be called as a witness in the government's wiretapping and racketeering case against Anthony Pellicano. For the second day in a row, the veteran entertainment attorney was never called as a witness for Pellicano co-defendant Mark Arneson, a retired Los Angeles Police sergeant. Fields was supposed to testify Tuesday, but the trial was delayed and the jury sent home after Arneson's attorney made an emergency motion for mistrial, which was denied.
