CENTRE ST COURT,
April 26 – On the third day of

admit having provided similar
catch and kill services for

an interview. So it goes in

ended with Justice Merchan
admonishing Bove for
"misleading" the jury about a
document he handed up to
Pecker. A curative instruction
to kick off Day 4 was
promised.
But it was
replaced with a carefully
worded apology to Pecker from
Bove - and them more drilling
into Pecker's memory, and that
his deal with Karen McDougal
was a legitimate business deal
for 65 articles, and more.
By the
midmorning break past 11 am,
inconsistency between FBI 302
and Pecker's trial testimony
was brought out.
But for what?
Some wondered,

going?
Bove had risen to
Chief in the Office of the US
Attorney for the Southern
District of New York, the
position he was listed in when
admonished for discovery
violations in US v.
