You just can't trust Lance Malone. That was the theme of a flier that began the former county commissioner's descent from clean-cut neophyte to ex-county commissioner to convicted felon. But after his sentencing last week in San Diego, and with the G-Sting trial here slated for March, the real question now is whether you can trust strip club boss Mike Galardi. The man who set the G-Sting wheels in motion by hiring Malone, who was accused of being Galardi's bagman, is a star government witness. But his girlfriend now says Galardi lied about such matters, so how effective can he be? Will government witness Erin Kenny, once a Malone pal on the commission, be enough? And can you trust Erin Kenny?
