Investigator in Michael Jackson, Winona Ryder cases ordered to stand trial - Los Angeles Times: "A Los Angeles judge Wednesday ordered a private investigator who worked for high-profile criminal defendants including Michael Jackson and Winona Ryder to stand trial for allegedly conspiring to pay off an alleged rape victim.
Superior Court Judge Lance A. Ito ruled there was sufficient evidence to try Bradley G. Miller, along with George Izquierdo, a Realtor whose son is charged with the rape, and Camilo Valentin, Izquierdo's employee.
Alex Izquierdo was represented by defense lawyer Mark Geragos, who has long worked with Miller, including during the child molestation prosecution of Jackson, which ended in acquittal, and the successful shoplifting prosecution of actress Ryder.
Alex Izquierdo is charged with 24 counts of rape, torture, false imprisonment and other crimes for allegedly abusing his live-in girlfriend. She told police he had burned her with an iron, sodomized her and threatened to kill her.
Miller and the other two men are accused of conspiring to take the woman to Las Vegas on the day in 2005 that she was to testify against Izquierdo, who faces life in prison if convicted."
