WHAT A HEEL!: He Won’t Be Getting A Legal Aid Lawyer
Peter Barta, 32, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society for six years until his resignation in November, pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of spying on several female co-workers on five occasions over a 2½-year period. He had secreted a motion-activated video camera in an alarm clock that he periodically moved from one colleague’s office to another’s. The Legal Aid society turned the tables on Barta by placing one attorney’s office under surveillance, and recorded him retrieving the clock. After a search warrant was obtained, an investigator found a VHS tape at Barta's home, on which there were images of a partially unclothed female attorney. If convicted, Barta faces a maximum sentence of 16 months to 4 years in prison on charges of second-degree unlawful surveillance.
