Confidential Winona Ryder File Reportedly Stolen
Fri Nov 8, 9:08 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Police are investigating the apparent theft of a confidential court file on Winona Ryder (news) containing information about her financial status, medical history and other personal background, the TV program "Celebrity Justice" reported on Friday.

The 28-page report, prepared by Los Angeles County Probation Department at the request of the judge who presided over her shoplifting trial, was taken from a locked file cabinet at the Santa Monica courthouse, the syndicated TV program said.


According to the show, the Santa Monica Police Department is investigating the incident as a burglary, and a law enforcement source told producers authorities believe the file may have been stolen as "an inside job" to be sold to the tabloids.


Sources cited by the show say keys to the file cabinet had been left in an unlocked desk drawer and that when the courthouse clerk noticed the report missing Thursday afternoon, she immediately contacted police.


The file, called a "pre-conviction report," contains detailed information about Ryder's background, including financial status, medical history and recommendations from the Probation Department, according to the TV program.


Judge Elden Fox reportedly ordered the file created months ago in the event Ryder was convicted.


A jury in Beverly Hills on Wednesday found Ryder guilty of grand theft and vandalism for shoplifting some $5,500 worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue store last December.


The 31-year-old actress, a two-time Oscar nominee, faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison when she is sentenced Dec. 6.


There was no immediate comment from the Santa Monica police or Ryder's attorney. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said she was not aware the file was missing, and probation officials could not be reached.


"Celebrity Justice" is produced by Time Telepictures Television West Coast Productions, the AOL Time Warner Inc. unit behind the syndicated TV show "Extra."

I feel the same way you do, FT. Celebs get way too much media attention for doing stupid things. If she were not famous and had not tried to shoplift so much merchandise, this story would have lasted one day. If it's true that the prosecutor doesn't want her to go to jail, then I hope she'll have to pay a hefty fine and do lots of community service. Then maybe, just maybe, she'll learn her lesson.

All I know is that if I committed the same crime that she did, I wouldn't get anywhere near that much attention. (Not that I would want it, but she doesn't deserve that much crap for this!!!)

Do trials normally last that long for a simple shop-lifting case? If not, Winona pays court costs and does a shite-load of community service. If yes, just the shite-load of community service 😀

I think its ludicrous that CNNs home page has a huge amount of its page dedicated to the trial and yet the Fed lowers interest rates .25% and I never hear boo about it!

Since it is a felony trial (due to the dollar amount) oh gods yes it can last that long, especially since she has an attorney or two who talks non-stop. I'm sure she has paid more to her lawyers than the value of the stolen merchandise.

In the defense of the trial her sentence will probably not include jail time. In reality this would be true for almost anyone who could pay for the goods stolen/vandalized plus parole and community service. Unless a DA is on a big anti petti crime kick we'd all get the same deal usually. You have to take into consideration this is her first offense.

I've seen postal employees steal who get parole for the same reason and they took an equal amount or more.

From what I hear, they're going to free the Washington snipers and throw Winnona in their jailcell. Considering how this Winonna trial has become a three-ring circus, makes sense to me

Pretty much,

It has gotten really out of hand. We have murders and rapings going on every day, and all our court system can deal with is a worthless celebrity shoplifting for Sacks Fifth Avenue Case. Wow, what a system!!!

I like how Winona, initially apprehended, told the security guard that her producer/director had told her to shoplift for an upcoming role...HA!

If the security guard had been Gary Coleman - might've worked!!

Cheers. 😀

 

[ForgottenTcklr]

Well Moses,

It's not about what she does, it's the fact that she gets WAY too much attention for it!

But I do agree, it is fairly interesting, but so is my life story and nobody cares about it!

 

[Moses25]

C'mon FT, we do care (you care aboot us!!)

If you want to tell your life story, here is one bloke who will listen with both ears...promise.

Btw, how the freak did you get 1150 posts?

Are you and amk part of some sort of ring? (No, not The Ring...wanker)

Cheers. 😀
