LA Weekly's Steven Mikulan published "The Strange and Disturbing Trial of Anand Jon" last week. It's an excellent story about the rape trial of Indian-born clothing designer Anand Jon. Jon faces multiple sex crime charges in California, New York and Dallas. Quoting Mikulan: "Even in its quietest moments, the Jon case is a volatile fable of rape, ambitious but naïve girls, the rag trade and feral male vanity." Mikulan's article is well worth the read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of crime and celebrity (of a sort).
Steve Mikulan, staff writer for LA Weekly is a damn good writer. He's unbelievably witty. You will read some of the most interesting prose from Steven. I first met him at the Robert Blake trial. If I'm not mistaken, that was the first trial he covered for LA Weekly. His coverage was so good, his editors had him cover Spector, where his writing just got better. Even Spector's defense team read Steven, with Bradley Brunon coming over and commenting directly to him about his articles.
Because of that great coverage, Steve now covers the local State and Federal courts for LA Weekly.
