Judging from my Google alerts, Judge Robert J. Perry is going to become the latest judge to make the list of judges who are household names. I first ask the question, why is this already being picked up by the international media? Anna Nicole Smith has been dead for over three years, and when alive was a B class celebrity. In fact in death she has become a much bigger celebrity. I had never followed her in life and have heard on numerous occasions that I am not the only one.
Judge Robert Perry is whittling down the jury pool to what might become either Fox News right wing Bible Thumpers or just plain good cons.
A jury of ones peers, well that never happens, ones peers are seldom that. For the most part the only requirement is reading, writing, able to think and being a breathing human being, but in the Anna Nicole Smith case this is about to change.
If you don’t want to serve on this jury here is what you need to do.
1. Bring a large bag of prescription medications and asked to be accommodated like any juror seeking disability accommodations as required by both federal and the laws of most states, even here in backward Texas.
2. Talk incessantly about your own illness, your doctors and most importantly agree to waive your legal rights and spill everything to the judge and lawyers, while the news media is quickly making notes of what you say for their next article, about every ache, pain, medical condition and of course every pill, patch, shot, etc. you have taken in the last few years. In the written jury questionnaire mention the great feeling of the drugs used for your last colonoscopy. Tell them you like that high feeling and that you might abuse cold medication.
3. Be sure and tell them about your grandmother, grandfather, your parents, your brother or sister, hell even throw in aunts, uncles and neighbors who you feel any empathy for due to medical conditions and of course inform this Court of any prescriptions you have ever picked up for anyone.
Now that will get rid of about everyone over the age of fifty-five and any person that feels anything for a fellow human being and the court appears in yesterday’s rulings to guarantee you will be gone within the fist thirty minutes on August 2nd as the jury is being picked.
That leaves the under fifty crowd, watch Fox News, [Infotainment], for your news and already have judged that people who take medications, or are ill, disabled etc. must inherently be bad and it appears you are in like glue on this jury.
How many good potential jurors is this going to exclude in the guise of “getting rid of the kooks” or as Judge Robert Perry stated; “The problem with celebrity trials is it has a tendency to bring out kooks, frankly.”
Now you are down to twenty to forty five year old jurors of your peers. Weed out parents with young children that need care, those who are care providers for the disabled, throw out any juror who questions being drilled about medical conditions and even prescriptions they take. That will whittle it down to the Fox news watchers, Bible thumpers and those with a holier than thou complex or really good cons.
Then you will go through a back ground check by Judge Perry, to be sure you are “clean enough” to be a jury of ones peers.
See there are many ways not to get involved in this mess in California, and who would want to be on this jury? Yes some have illusions of making the news with interviews at the end, but those are going to qualify under these rules. The lawyers will never know your name and the judge’s staff will be browsing the internet to be sure the jurors don’t blog about the case. DO WHAT??? Blog about the case, I thought jurors were not even allowed to talk about the case, read about the case, would that not include blogging in your night time hours???
A bankrupt California state spent most of Tuesday, July 20 discussing Motions related to “…arguments about publicity, the Internet and the effect of social media and blogs on the jury. Judge Perry plans to keep the names of jurors secret from lawyers, who complained that would make it impossible to track whether they were blogging or reporting on the trial via social networking websites. However, Judge Perry did agree to ask prospects if they have blogs or have social media accounts.” You know those pesky networking sites like Face Book, My Space, even LinkedIn which most professionals belong to, in fact just throw out anyone with a home computer to be safe here.
Judge Perry also intends to ask his staff to check periodically to make sure jurors are not blogging about the case. Of course most posters don’t use their real names so the jury should be asked about any monikers ever used on the internet. However this all goes back to I thought you were not suppose to read or discuss a case if you are on that jury, silly me, I am not up with the times of twittering while sitting in Court. Oh yes eliminate everyone with a Twitter account.
I am hoping more courts go in this direction, [said tongue in cheek], it will save all of us in this new era where many of us use Google the AP, the HuffingtonPost.com, The Washington Post.com, The online versions of the Houston Chronicle, the Fort Worth Star Telegram, CNN.com, MSNBC.com, and even Google alerts to get out of jury duty by just confessing these sins. Throw out the fact that for most these are all ways that today’s news junkies get their information. More and more print media is going out of business while the advances in news by internet increases with new technologies and more and more of us turn on our computers to get our news. It appears that is ok with this Judge, however not being in Court yesterday I don’t know this for sure, but to be safe just don’t admit you ever posted a comment on any site whether a reputable news site or TMZ. Better yet, tell the judge you don’t believe in any of these new fangled gadgets, ah no, then you would be in the age group of aches, pains and medications which is automatically excluded. What is a modern day juror to do???
Perry also intends to take the unusual step of checking the names of jurors against criminal records to see if they are hiding anything. If you are a con without a criminal past you are in the jury pool, bring a bathing suit and towel for fun and games for the next six to 10 weeks. However this newest step by Judge Perry creates my next question is criminal as in a speeding ticket or criminal as on parole??? However good cons are going to say the right things if they want on this jury and the honest people who have real doctors, real medical conditions or family members who do, just fill out that form, get your six dollars for the day and you are on your way back to the office or home. Oh be sure you say you believe all policemen and investigators or lie proof and there is a election this year in California, use that as extra “insurance”, [cough cough].
Another tidbit you can do to get out of this jury, whisper the two words that are guaranteed to send you home. What two words can you say that will cause the D. A. and most Judges to go screaming in the night to make sure you are no where near their court room?
Wait for it….
Wait for it….
Jury Nullification… the act of saying this is bullshit. In the old days, our forefathers wanted jurors that went by common sense and their conscious and jury nullification was encouraged to prevent run away legislature or unfair laws. However today, it is a guarantee to get out of jury duty which is why the jury instructions normally says, “you are only to judge this case by the facts involving the law as I instruct you to do”.
John Adams, our second president, had this to say about the juror: “It is not only his right but his duty…to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.” That is not true today, if you even admit you know about your right as a citizen on a jury to use exactly what our forefathers wanted, you are practicing jury nullification which is a big no no in today’s society of complex laws and nustso statutes.
Now if Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Smith’s former lawyer-boyfriend Howard K. Stern knowingly fueled a known addict’s addiction and threw caution to the wind, then convict them. That is how it should go down.
If they did more then what is common practice in the world of Hollyweird, then convict them. If you sense a potential juror is a kook, of course dismiss them. That is why there are jury consultants, but don’t trample on privacy laws to be sure you get that Fox News listener and exclude the CNN and MSNBC crowd.
I loved this exchange yesterday as reported by the AP and I bet Harvey Levin and the TMZ.com staff cringed as the AP led with this exchange:
“Rose made the unusual disclosure that she was filing all of her legal documents under seal to keep them from falling into the hands of celebrity website TMZ. The judge said he was going through her sealed motions and unsealing many of them.
“I don’t think you should file under seal just because you don’t want the media to see it,” Perry said.
“Everything I file ends up on TMZ,” Rose said.
“Who cares?” said the judge.
“Our jury pool is out there,” said the prosecutor.
“Do we even want people who watch TMZ on the jury?” asked the judge.
“We’re going to get them,” Rose said.
“I hope not,” said the judge.”
One way to guarantee those people are not part of the jury pool is just ask any potential jurors if they know who or what is TMZ.com.
Does that mean TMZ.com has received a failing grade in intelligent readers? If so the Court should cruise around “T”, at least TMZ has slowly begun to enforce the TOS and Privacy Policy instead of remaining like the wild west of internet posting.
Be sure and print this article and carry it with you the next time you get a jury summons in Hollyweird, where the right wing nut cases and good cons are welcomed as jurors and those “normal people” get sent home.
Ah the joy of doing ones civic duty of serving on a jury.
THIS ARTICLE DOES AND INTENDS TO POINT OUT THE LUNACY OF HOLLYWERID CELEBRITY TRIALS. Because frankly, who the hell would want to serve on one of these juries???
Now on a serious note: Judge Robert J. Perry has a tremendous amount of discretion. Judge Perry is known as a no-nonsense judge with a distinguished legal background as a former federal prosecutor, he is often selected to preside over high profile trials. In Dec. 2009, he barred television cameras and other electronic recording devices from the trial court in another high profile trial reaffirming his penchant for mitigating intense media coverage in the interest of a fair trial in his courtroom.
Perry has been a trial judge on the Los Angeles Superior Court. Since 1992, he has presided over more than 580 felony jury trials, including 237 murder trials, 28 of which were death penalty trials.
He was honored as “Judge of the Year” by the Los Angeles County Bar Association Criminal Justice Section in 2009 and by the Century City Bar Association in 2002. Born and raised in Glendale, California, Judge Perry is a graduate of Claremont McKenna College and Loyola Law School. He served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles for 12 years, and then was in private practice with Epstein Becker and Green, and later with Douglas Dalton.
In short, you could not ask for a better judge for a criminal high profile case, and he likes Stern’s attorney Steve Sadow, so what more could anyone ask for in this case. Lessons learned over the last three years appear to have paid off in changing the Court back to Judge Perry who presided over the preliminary hearing which means he has the background on this case.
He has also ruled against the prosecution and at times has added lesser charges to jury instructions stating the state had not reached the standard of the charges assistant district attorneys have asked to present to a jury.
Google Judge Perry, he is impressive in the way he handles cases that could become powder kegs of any racial tensions in the past and handled them well.

Well I sure am hoping Vergie don’t get on her knee’s in front of the courthouse with the bible she used in the Bahamas ,The judge has a kind face and kind eyes.What is needed is a understanding of drug addiction,and its root causes,and for all the liars for the state an explanation of why so many saw something wrong and did nothing Moe walked away,you know the bodyguard.pol and Patrik claim in a seance Anna wanted them to have Dannielynn,only because Larry does not want to bother with them.Boy,trust what they say,and I do not care what they saw,if Dr E gave Howard permission to give Anna meds,he lived with her,And by the way,did not I read at one time Howard made plans to have Anna in a detox place ,after they bought the boat,I cannot remember but it started with a D.and it was not in the USA
OMG I am laughing so hard, good job of writing, but the funniest stuff is still on the horizon……..Perry is no nonsense and yet he was very fair in how he handled the courtroom antics…….but dont piss him off and be sure to keep your voice down very low, he can hear a mouse fart!
John
Good Morning World,I think I got a new show for Dr Drew”,McCabe in Detox”let him write a few court docs a day,and tapper him off slowly,There is one thing I am sorry for,between what Rose wrote and John wrote,I would love to see this judge in action.My belief in the Judical System sure took a beating and still is with Harris County Texas.NOT ONE of these defendents belongs in jail,”Medical Board sanction”If any one heard,Lohan is beng allowed her meds in jail,if there is a medical reason the pt has to have meds,you CANNOT STOP THOSE MEDS.Same with Anna,you have dime store doctors,blogging away ,thinking they know everything,like (T)and who are hinderance.The judge is smart,I am very sure Dr Kapoor weighed the pro and cons of giving Anna methadone while she was pregnant,that is why he went to medical school.I would love a sitdown with Dr E and have her explain her logic,and Howard,who has NEVER had the time to grieve,just every word and action torn apart and dissected.makes my blood boil.But in all this,Vergie has shown the world,how RIGHT Anna was (NO LOVE) all money.
So if you have ever gone to a Doctor and had a prescription issued by said Doctor you could be disqualified?????
Maybe if you just line up and cough a lot and blow your nose you would be sent home.
This is going to go well.
HEATH—MY OPINION The judge is looking for overuse of drugs,not LEGITIMATE reasons.This is one touchy subject
But what right does this judge have to ask potential jurors to divulge their medical histories and to do background checks into them? Is he gonna hire, on the california taxpayers dime, a doctor and/or pharmacist, to help him make the determinations on the drug use? What, or who’s, standard is he gonna use to determine ‘drug overuse’? Does he have a medical degree in order to make that determination?
KEN—-The only thing I can come up with,maybe he feels this should not be a court case,it should just be handled by the medical board and not waste the taxpayers money.
Seriously, what potential Juror is gonna be honest about what/how many prescription medications they’ve been prescribed throughout their lifetime especially if it’s not for something that is/was for a long term health issue. For those who do disclose their medications, will they also be asked what it’s for and will they need to disclose who [doctor] prescribed it. I know the Judge said none of the Attorney’s would get any of the info but still, IMO there are way to many issue in having potential Jurors fill out this questionnaire and IMO is a violation of ones privacy.
I think that ‘certain’ questions should be asked of potential jurors…
If they have been on medicines that help their quality of life and understand ‘pain management’.
There should be 6 that do and six that have not used prescription medicines daily. IMO
I still think in my heart and gut that if Anna had not been so mentally drained then got so physically sick w/ that high fever… that she would NOT have passed. The words in the autopsy report; “Therapeutic Levels” means a whole lot and that is why mainly her death was ruled accidental. There HAS NEVER been charges of ENABLERS before that I can remember… THOSE ARE TX people’s WORDS and accusations to the CA/DA/DOJ! Just like Clark tried to get FL DOJ to bite… They were not in an election year though were they? They said BRING US PROOF! DC/McC COULD NOT bring actual LEGAL PROOF OF THEIR BIASED INSINUATIONS! All of these false accusations from an estranged mother who DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN HER DAUGHTER’S LIFE FOR well over ten years! BS to the max!
JB and his DA employees will regret ever believing McC, SB and all their BIASED BS and personal BIASED elaborated theories in trying to take down HKS. The doctors are just a casualty in this vengeful attempt to ’payback’ Stern for daring to sue that TX firm! JMSO

“b) A challenge to a prospective juror by either: (1) A challenge for cause, for one of the following reasons: (A) General disqualification–that the juror is disqualified from serving in the action on trial. (B) Implied bias–as, when the existence of the facts as ascertained, in judgment of law disqualifies the juror. (C) Actual bias–the existence of a state of mind on the part of the juror in reference to the case, or to any of the parties, which will prevent the juror from acting with entire impartiality, and without prejudice to the substantial rights of any party. (2) A peremptory challenge to a prospective juror.”
“http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Out-of-Jury-Duty”
“·The late Justice William C. Goodloe (1919-1997) of the Washington State Supreme Court, an advocate of jury nullification, suggested that the following instruction be given by judges to all juries in criminal cases: “You are instructed that this being a criminal case you are the exclusive judges of the evidence, the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given to their testimony, and you have a right also to determine the law in the case. The court does not intend to express any opinion concerning the weight of the evidence, but it is the duty of the court to advise you as to the law, and it is your duty to consider the instructions of the court; yet in your decision upon the merits of the case you have a right to determine for yourselves the law as well as the facts by which your verdict shall be governed.” “
“6. But remember, once you have been sworn in always tell the truth.”
Beverly I have had a couple of extensive interviews with Dr. E but are not going to do the articles until after the jury is selected and TOLD not to browse the internet and stay away from blogs… She said some interesting things during our talks about the what and the why…
Rose–Thank you for that information,if I can hear the what and the why,I can understand her reasoning.
I am thinking this case sure is going to be unusual with the requests from the DA that Politics and the election can’t be brought in and that her motions are sealed to prevent anyone from TMZ or the Public knowing etc then the Judge wiping out most of the population with any health issues etc.
Why do they have to go to these lengths if the evidence is clear and honestly provided then they should not have to worry.
Makes me think they are changing the goal posts so they can get a win at any cost and save face and waste a shitload of money.
Interesting reading re jury selection for the trial. Be forewarned – you may laugh.

Prospective Jurors to be Asked to Fill Out Questionnaires in Anna Nicole trial
(CNS) Posted Thursday July 22, 2010 – 9.09am
Prospective jurors are due in court today to fill out questionnaires in the trial of two doctors and the longtime companion/attorney of former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith, who are accused of conspiring to give controlled substances to an addict.
Just under 200 potential panelists are expected to be called into a downtown Los Angeles courtroom, starting today, to be asked to fill out questionnaires asking them to provide what Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry called “highly personal medical information,’ along with answering questions about drug use and their interest in high-profile celebrity cases.
“I want to really focus on prescription drugs because I think that’s what this case is really about,’ Perry told attorneys in the trial of Smith’s longtime companion and attorney, Howard K. Stern, and two doctors, Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor.
The three are are accused of conspiring to prescribe, administer and dispense controlled substances to an addict from June 2004 until Feb. 8, 2007 — the day the 39-year-old star of the reality TV show “The Anna Nicole Show’ died from an accidental prescription drug overdose following unsuccessful attempts to revive her in a Florida hotel room.
The judge told attorneys that he expected that there were going to be “jurors that are going to be interested in serving on this case,’ but indicated that he would be willing to dismiss those that are reluctant to divulge medical information.
Perry said he also expects some potential jurors to have already “made up their minds’ about the highly publicized case.
Along with questions about prescription drug use, prospective jurors are expected to be asked on the questionnaires if they have personal e-mail accounts, Web blogs and accounts for social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, and checks will be done done periodically “to make sure they’re not talking about being on the trial,’ the judge said.
Perry said he had decided not to release the prospective jurors’ names to attorneys, noting that he had weighed a juror’s right to privacy against both sides’ rights to a fair trial.
He said he wanted to assure jurors that the court was doing everything it could “to keep them out of the glare of publicity.’
The judge said he had decided not to allow cameras in the courtroom for the trial, and didn’t want trial participants — particularly the attorneys — talking to the media during the trial.
But he said he wasn’t sure if he had “sufficient ammunition’ to issue an immediate gag order.
Perry said he is planning to run jurors’ names “to make sure they are not hiding anything in the nature of a prior arrest.’
Potential panelists will be asked to return to court Aug. 2 to be questioned by attorneys — with opening statements tentatively set for Aug. 4 before a panel of 12 jurors and six alternates in what could be a two- to three-month trial.
Stern, 41, is charged with 11 felony counts, including prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict, obtaining a prescription for opiates by deceit, fraud or misrepresentation and conspiracy to commit a crime.
Eroshevich, 61, and Kapoor, 41, are each charged with six felony counts, including unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance, prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict and conspiracy to commit a crime.

In the first place Howard cannot prescribe,any med,he is not of M.D.so why is that allowed.administering or dispensing a controlled substance,In homes all over the US,with the permission of the pt,s M.D partners can and do administer meds.I am quite sure GABOR husband gives her meds.Conspiracy to commit a crime IF the DA can prove Howard was the first and only one putting his name on med bottles for another person,I would say ,they have a case,It has been going on in Hollywood all the time Jerry Brown has been in office,so please,Conspiracy to commit a criime,meaning giving a addict meds,Look what just happened with L Lohan,her DR is giving her in jail the meds she needs,even though she is known to abuse prescrip drugs,Her medical condition dictates she has her med,and the Dr said so.Same with Anna,her medical condition dictates she recieve meds,WHAT CONSPIRACY?
Peanut, if you are reading here, I don’t think John N (post #2) is really lsh. It may just be an expression of speech (kind of like hine side is 20/20. iykwim). But then in this wacky www you just never know, I guess …

Jury selection opens in Anna Nicole Smith case
By LINDA DEUTSCH (AP) – 29 minutes ago
LOS ANGELES — A woman who works with addictive drugs and one who was a fan of Anna Nicole Smith’s TV reality show were among those chosen Thursday during the first phase of jury selection for the drug conspiracy trial of two doctors and the late model’s lawyer-boyfriend.
Superior Court Judge Robert Perry greeted the jury prospects with warnings that it was a high-profile case, and that they may be familiar with the life of the blonde Playboy model who died of a drug overdose in 2007 in Florida.
The defendants are not charged with causing Smith’s death, but are accused of illegally providing her with opiates and sedatives. Dr. Sanjeep Kapoor, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Stern have pleaded not guilty to charges related to overprescribing drugs and illegally obtaining drugs for Smith under pseudonyms.
“I work for a hospital, and I know what Oxycodone does to people,” one prospect said, referring to one of the drugs involved in the case. “I’ve had relatives that got hooked into it.”
The prospect also said she watched TV coverage when Smith died.
The judge asked whether she could be fair in evaluating the evidence, to which she replied, after a long pause: “I think I could be fair.”
He told her to fill out the 14-page questionnaire. Those who complete the forms will return Aug. 2 for in-depth questioning.
Another woman said she had been a fan of Smith’s reality show. Looking across the courtroom at Smith’s lawyer-boyfriend, defendant Howard K. Stern, she said she did not like him because Smith “pushed him around, and I thought he should have been tougher.” The judge ordered her to fill out a questionnaire.
In an unusual procedure, jurors are being asked to disclose their own medical histories and drugs they have used. They are being asked if they or anyone they know has ever abused prescription drugs, and whether they socialize with their doctors.
Many of the queries are specific to expected evidence in the case, such as whether a doctor ever made a house call for them, as Kapoor did for Smith; have they ever obtained a prescription without visiting the doctor’s office, as Smith did; or whether they have had a relative or friend pick up a prescription from a pharmacy, as Stern allegedly did for Smith.
Jurors also were asked if they believe celebrities have a right to privacy about their medical records.
Perry told the prospects in court that until they know whether they are going to be jurors, they are forbidden to watch or read any news relating to the case.
The questionnaire also included a list of 94 potential trial witnesses, including Larry Birkhead, who was declared the father of Smith’s daughter after a public fight over paternity with Stern. Smith’s bodyguard and his wife, two nannies who worked for Smith in the Bahamas and the Florida medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Smith’s body are also on the list.
The trial was expected to last three months. Opening statements are scheduled for Aug. 4.

Okay – this is the last link for tonight
Within the article there is a link to the questionaire.
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b191816_anna_nicole_jury_selection_begins_do.html
Thanks Sammy!
Great stuff!
Night all…
Here is the direct link from Sammy’s article posted… CRAZY questions for sure!
http://images.eonline.com/static/news/pdf/annanicolejury.pdf
(Hope no ‘fame-seekers’ sneak in the jury, in hopes of writing a book or something… Like in the Scott Preterson trial)
I do not remember if the MJ trial of accused molestation (which LATER WAS PROVEN TO BE FALSE ALLEGATIONS) if the
jurors wrote a book or not. Upside down world we live in at times. Just want the trial to be fair and rule according to current laws.
So, many celeberties use alias names for privacy issues… There is NO LAW that I know of that states for privacy issues they cannot
use an _______ aka celebrity’s name. As long as the real name is on the medical file the doctor has and with acknowledgement of
the pharmacist…
If they do end up charging some of the defendants for this they will have to charge all of the other celebrity’s doctors who do the same thing.
HKS did NOT prescribe to a name, Beverly is correct… He is NOT a doctor and there is no conspiracy except in Anna’s estranged mom and her
lawyer’s minds! WE ALL KNOW WHY THEY ARE MAD AT HOWARD, don’t we? It has NOTHING to do with Anna or Daniel, it has to do with the
fact Anna left HKS in charge and they wanted that spot. Period. End of story. What a mess they have created! I hope and pray often that
it will backfire on TX BIG-TIME!
We read the questionnaire and just was
. We thought Texas was bad but this took the cake. Even here we aren’t made to disclose our own, not to mention another parties, medical and prescription history. Guess this guy has never heard of, or he doesn’t care for, the HIPPA (sp) laws.
Tell me … is there such a defence as the jury not being of one’s peers?
Seems to me that the questionaire is designed to weed out anyone who speaks/understands/reads the English language and who doesn’t own a tv or computer and has had their head in a bucket of sand for the past 4 years.
Good Morning—-I wonder if the Judge knows a state witness WV,d is a blogger,and I mean a trouble making blogger,on a Topix site for Anna Nicole,I sure hope someone brings out that point,Don Clark also admits in his depo,he is a LIAR,I also hope the past of shipping marjuiana in the 1980 to the US via the Bahamas,and in recent years a breaking and entering committing a felony,Moe and Tas two incompetent medical professionals,WHAT A OUTSTANDING GROUP.
Didn’t see Nathan’s name on the witness list.
Unfortunately it seems the prosecution wants to concentrate on both the clown video and Anna’s death. WV and DC were supposed to be hostile witnesses for the defense, weren’t they? Significant victories for Howard though — no Nathan Collins, no Mark Hatten, no Jackie Hatten, no Pol’ Atteu, no Patrik Simpson, no Virgie Arthur. Some good ones for Howard — the Gibsons, Alex Goen, Troy Hollier, John James. Wayne Munroe, Ron Rale, Kim Walther.
I said it before, I will say it again….. IMO the one that has the biggest problem is DR E. She is the doctor that prescribed meds even AFTER she had been warned by the pharmacy about the dangers. Kapoor, if he never saw Anna as a patient he has some problems also. But just because Stern took messages, picked up meds and handed Anna her pills does not make him a murderer or a conspirator to keep a drug addict full of pills.
IMO, since Dr E left Anna the day before, Moe was out moving furniture and Stern was picking up a boat, I think Anna just took another swig of the CH and that was it. Game over.
Sammy1 [14] thanks for the link, interesting questions/requests. Like I said before, how many are gonna answer honestly in reference to themselves or even a family member abusing prescription medications and how they obtained them.
PS,
in regards to the witness list…IMO the Nannies will be a NO SHOW.
DiamondGirl [28] I agree with your entire post
Ruby-Z [27] is there a list with all the witness on it? From the article Sammy1 provided I only saw Larry, Moe, Tas and the Nannies. Is there a full list of witness’s?
I noticed that Tara Grinna is on the list.
JMA, the list is in the questionnaire.
Thanks trina
I didn’t read all the way down on the Questionnaire.
I notice how it says “The following persons may testify or be subject of testimony in this case.”
Again don’t see the Nanny’s testifying! Why? Because they never showed up to testify at Daniel’s Inquest held in the Bahamas which is where they were living at the time so what makes the Prosecutors think they’re gonna show up in the US to testify.
Not sure how Wilma’s testimony is gonna help the Prosecution team, she’s the one that feed RC the load of crap for her book that ended up getting her [RC] sued. Oh and not to mention she was not an eye witness to anything ANS.
Ha-Ha I’m PMP where is M Hatten’s name? Um didn’t he tell the SC police in his complaint that HKS was threatening him due to he was a witness for the CA case. Oopsie don’t see him listed.
I’ll tell you something, question #97 will elimate the entire population of being a juror. I do like that they ask questions about celebrities and their privacy. Frankly, it isn’t my business or anyone else’s what is wrong with any celebrity. I don’t care if anyone of them has crabs unless they themselves tell a reliable media source. I give credit to those celebrities who work to make a difference with diseases that they are suffering from. Farrah Fawcett comes to mind as one. Look at what has happened to people who come out to sell a freaking story on any celebrity….and you never know if it is the truth…. look at the Smith saga…. holy smokes !
