Variety's guest columnist: Pellicano

They bill Anthony Pellicano's scribbles as a Web exclusive guest column, but it's really a pick-up from a book of legal writing on the concept of reasonable doubt. The imprisoned private eye doesn't have much to add on that subject, and says nothing at all about his case or about Hollywood — or about anything really. Don't believe me? Here's a sample: "Most people are not stupid, and if you try to force them to swallow a concept that they know is seemingly impossible or implausible, then they may resent you, and by doing so, vote against the concept itself."
