where did she get the cash? detectives took a good look at her other ex-husband. tough guy actor joe pesci. remember that party snapshot of garrett and middleman miguel quiroz along with their kids? that was taken at the hollywood hills home of joe pesci. we actually interviewed joe pesci and we just wanted to ask if he gave her a large sum of money at that time. he denied he ever gave her a large amount of money. there was no evidence to indicate he had any involvement. claudia haro said she wanted to do an interview with us, but we were not able to speak to her in jail. we spoke with her defense attorney tom mesereau, best known for successfully defending michael jackson. the picture drawn of her is this sort of vengeful woman that would stop at nothing to keep her daughter away from her ex-husband. whoever gave you that information doesn t know claudio haro. mesereau says if claudia s
