Well talk about “the other shoe dropping,” it did for a few people this morning. I am sure that anything to do with the “Supremes” will never be a favorite group for those left behind in the Anna Nicole Smith saga, for that matter they may never mention “Supreme” anything. The cascading and never-ending grief that surrounded Anna Nicole Smith just continued today when the U.S. Supreme Court made it clear, “Get a Job.” There will be no millions and millions and for that matter there will be Zilch, Nada and all those legal fees..ouch! The dreams of all those “Benjamins” stacked neatly in big piles and personal bankers have all turned into nightmares, just like the lives of many involved in the Anna Nicole Smith Saga.

It is my belief that had Anna Nicole Smith lived, life would have been better for some and just awful for one or two. The “Master Plan” would have been in effect and she and her constant companion would have lived happily ever after raising “their child.” Perhaps I think that the U. S. Supreme Court Decision on Anna Nicole Smith Estate (231); U.S. Supreme Court would have maybe been a little more generous had Anna been around. What “The Supremes” thought of this case and the “players” was addressed by Justice Roberts. The comment by Justice Roberts in quoting Charles Dickens novel “Bleak House“ spoke volumes with what he was thinking in reference to this entire matter, again, my opinion.

Someone told me that they thought that they heard someone yell, “Oh my god stop decorating,” we are not sure in what context that was heard, but funny right? All those millions would have been a pain in the ass for someone to have to handle, just terrible. And the lifestyle, Big Houses, Big Pools, Big Lawns, Big Staffs, Big Security, Fancy Cars, First Class travel, Wonderful Fancy Hotels the “Life of Riley.” Who the hell would want such a thing to have to wake up to every morning, knowing that all you had to do was have fun with your kids. And spend money taking “care” of all their little needs each and every one of them. Looking at what money and fame has brought to the life of Anna Nicole Smith, maybe the simple life will be the trick and one of joy and love. Frankly, what the hell, seems like there is not much of a choice at this point…

The first glaring question to me is did the death of Michael Jackson cause the bankruptcy of Dr. Arnold Klein and if so, what does that say about the prescriptions that were being handed out to stay close to Jackson?

March 10, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein Status Report on his pending bankruptcy. (171) This filing is interesting because it states in part; “Dr. Arnold Klein is often referred to as and considered the father of modern cosmetic dermatology”. Arnold Klein has also filed bankruptcy in his medical corporation which is a separate case before this same court. Arnold “believes that some or all of his financial obligations were incurred as a result of fraud and/or embezzlement perpetrated by his former accountant and office manager…” It also gives us a peek into the Dr. Conrad Murray state criminal trial by stating; “Dr. Klein plans to retain the Law Offices of Garo B. Ghazarian as his criminal attorneys in connection with a subpoena issued to compel Klein’s deposition in connection with a state court criminal case. Klein also gives up a view into the rich and famous and what cutting back is to them. Be sure to read page 8 on the three properties, lawn and pool service, eat, drink and be merry and care takers for the two he does not live in. Not the normal bankruptcy here.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Summary Schedules (197)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Statistical Summary of Certain Liabilities (175)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Statement of Financial Affairs (190)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule A Real Property (212) This document lists Klein’s three homes, the value and how much he still owes on each one.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule B Personal Property (200) This is well worth a read, talking about arrogant millionaires. This lists every painting, a crystal panda bear, how things are framed, value, and where Klein bought them from. A GREAT advertisement for places like Christies and I would say not to expect this to go on sale in a yard or garage sale or even on an auction block. This to me was the best read of these papers filed.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule C Property Eexempt from bankruptcy (177)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule D Creditors holding Secured Claims (167)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule E Creditors holding UNSecured Claims (161)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule F Creditors holding UNSecured Non-priority Claims (189) Basically shows credit cards, gardeners, etc. that are maxed out, but also WHO is Michael Duffy that Klein was loaned $200k from this person, and now it is probably never going to be paid back.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule G Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (158)
March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule H Listing Co-Debtor (160)

April 8, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Motion to Compel Able Investment Services to Produce Documents (150) Klein alleges that Able Investment Services, LLC, Klein is alleging that loan made by Able to Klein who holds the first deed of trust against one of Klein’s homes and Klein believes that the lien held by Able is one of the many liabilities incurred by his former business manager and/or others without Klein’s consent or knowledge.

April 15, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Motion and Memorandum of Law to Supprt Request for Order Establishing Bard Date for filing Proof of Cliams and interest to date.

I doubt that we will ever know what the Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate vs. Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Susan M. Brown et all, is going to end. I am willing to bet something is going on behind the scenes.

May 13, 2011 Anna Nicole Smith Estate files Joint Status Report NO Dates Available (310) On behalf of all of the parties Executor’s attorneys have filed a Status requested by the judge of the Federal Court in South Carolina as to what dates in August and September are the parties ready to go to trial because this has been pending about 3 years now, and the judge wanted to start jury selection on July 28, 2011. It appears from the filing that there are three days available in August and three days in September available for all of the parties and those dates are no where near each other.

There is no ruling on the money the Estate says Susan M. Brown owes the Estate. We have the ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court is due out by the last Monday of June 2011, but how could the parties NOT think the judge was ready to go on the South Carolina case? Whatever is up, we will never know UNLESS the judge issues an order of be here on this date or else. I doubt that will happen because the Court had already stated that it could send an Order out scheduling the trial to start at a later date then September. So what do you think the judge is going to do?

There is so much going on in all cases concerning Micheal Jackson’s Estate, Casey Anthony, Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate and Dr. Arnold Klein Bankruptcy turned into what seems is going to be another major event in the Jackson SAGAS.

Here are the papers on just the Michael Jackson Estate vs. Howard Mann and Vintage Pop, please also note on the right side of the front page is an updated scrolling court dates on a lot of cases I did this morning.

April 27, 2011 Vintage Pop Media Answer to the Estate of Michael Jackson vs Howard Mann and Vintage Pop. (270)

Then we have the bankruptcy of Dr. Arnold Klein which WAS to be discharged as of today and gone!!!! Surprise like all of the cases involving Anna Nicole Smith and her Estate and the parties who knew her. Klein’s bankruptcy has turned into anything but “normal”. I started going through the files this afternoon and suddenly realized there were mass Motions and Memorandum of Law and revolving lawyers and claims and counterclaims. It is going to take me most of tonight to just see which ones to pull for ya’ll. However here is the Schedule of hearings I have read today.

May 10, 2011 at 2:00 PM Status Hearing on Arnold Klein’s Bankruptcy

May 18, 2011 9:00 AM Hearing on Multiple Motions on the Bankruptcy of Arnold Klein

Then we have poor Casey Anthony standing trial in the media circus that is said by the judge it will be bigger than O. J. Simpson’s murder trial. The sad things is Casey Anthony does not have the money to buy the dream team O. J. had, another reminder in the U. S., you are entitled to the best defense YOU have the money to BUY.

We are going to do something interesting with this case and I will put up some links to papers you may or may not have about this trial.

May 9, 2011 Jury Selection begins in Casey Anthony First Degree Murder Case in Florida. Already we are getting Nancy Grace’s grating voice on commercial that “she will have a panel” to cover the highlights everyday on her show. Thank God for remote control for the television, because Grace is not going to be beamed into this house.

May 16, 2011 Opening statements due on the Casey Anthony First Degree Murder Case in Florida. Rose Speaks.com will be giving twitter updates throughout each day of the trial.

Ken is setting up some new gadgets that is going to allow us and those of you who want to, twitter throughout the trial each day as we watch it on Tru TV the old Court TV. If you want to participate let us know you do on our twitter that we are sending out in about 5 minutes and Ken will work the magic that allows all of us to do this.

Do y’all want Diamond Girl to set up an open daily discussion each day for this case in the Community she runs? Let her know and I am sure if she can she will get with you about how you want to set this up.

In a telephone hearing today in the South Carolina Federal Court Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III made the following rulings after TELEPHONE CONFERENCE with the parties and counsel.

1. Howard K. Stern on behalf of the Estate for Anna Nicole Smith had agreed to the Attorney of Record to Withdraw and the Memorandum for reasons to withdraw be sealed The Court Agreed and Ordered that the reason be sealed and Susan M. Brown’s current attorney can and as of today has withdrawn from the case.

2. Stern offered to give The Brown Law Offices and Susan M. Brown thirty days to seek new counsel. Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III ruled Brown had only ten (10) days to find new counsel or would represent herself Pro Se.

3. Smith’s Estate had offered a “reasonable period of time for the Brown defendants to have discovery”. Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III ruled that; “Court will stay scheduling deadlines for a period of 10 days

4. The Estate says the only Motion currently pending before the court is the amount of attorneys fees that Brown and her firm owes for the Contempt proceedings, no ruling on that was made today. L. Lin Wood, Luke Lantta and Nicole Jennings Wade, lead attorneys are optimistic that a mediated settlement is possible but has not happened to date, therefore if necessary the Estate is ready for final Pretrial Motions to be filed and then a jury trial.

Jerry Eversole’s attorney, Rusty Hardin, says the feds were trying to criminalize a friendship.

The “friendship” argument apparently was a part of deliberations. At one point the jury sent Hittner a note asking, “Friendship or not, where do you draw the line to justify continuing to accept things of value (as an elected official) with someone who does business with the county?”

County Commissioner Jerry Eversole, has escaped yet again from allegations of having a rather loose interpretation of ethics rules. A federal jury could not come to a decision on whether Eversole took $100,000 in bribes from a contractor, and U.S. District Judge David Hittner declared a mistrial.

On Tuesday after the jury said it was deadlock in two notes to Judge David Hittner, a third note was then sent to the judge from the jurors, which said the areas they needed to address include:

1. Re-stating the argument that this was a conspiracy.
2. What was the relationship between Surface and Eversole from their first meeting until 1999, and did the pattern of behavior change?
3. Friendship or not, where do you draw the link to justify continuing to accept things of value (as an elected official) with someone who does business with the county?

When our legal analyst read that last question, he knew there was no hope.

“This is a hung jury. You have jurors there who bought the friendship defense, that clearly say there is a line between friendship and criminal responsibility and we don’t know where that line is,” KTRK Legal Analyst Joel Androphy said.

The judge made the announcement today, March 30, 2011, just before noon, saying he’d like for a new jury to be chosen as early as this coming week with a new trial underway in April. Attorneys, however, said they would like more time.

As for the jury and where they stood on the four counts:

- Conspiracy: 5 guilty, 7 not guilty
- Bribery: 10 guilty, 2 not guilty
- 2003 tax misstatement: 10 guilty, 2 not guilty
- 2004 tax misstatement: 7 guilty, 5 not guilty

“We all agreed he took the money — that was evident. We all agreed he used his office or his influence — the question for two of us was did he do that corruptly,” Hopkins said.

But now, both sides know a lot more about how their case played to a jury. And to the majority of jurors who voted to convict, Eversole’s acceptance of big dollar gifts, even with a friend, didn’t play well.

“I think it was ludicrous. I think the guy knows exactly what he was doing. He skirted the law,” jury foreman John Hopkins said.

“At the end of the day, 10 of us thought he was guilty on at least 2 charges. We couldn’t sway the other 2,” said “jury foreman John Hopkins.

What caught my attention in this trial is that in the Houston Chronicle coverage there is mention of a lot of names that overlap all things Anna Nicole Smith trials.

At one point the Houston Chronicle says; “So how corrupt is the local scene? It all depends on what you compare it to, said Rice University political science chairman Mark Jones. “If you reference Chicago,” he said, “it’d be more similar. To Minneapolis? More corrupt.”

I have said many times since I return to Texas in 1990, what happened to “my Texas”, the one I grew up in and moved out of in 1977.

Who is Jerry Eversole? He is a County Commissioner in Harris County Texas that has been slammed with four federal indictments accusing him of accepting bribes and filing false income tax returns.

After demanding a quick and speedy trial after being indicted at the end of December 2010 and a three week trial in March 2011, the case went to the federal jury last Friday, March 25, 2011, with the defense led by fame Texas defense lawyer Rusty Hardin, deciding to put on NO defense. Rather it was the hint of the good ole boys and just friends helping friends like we do in Texas that Hardin rested on. Was it a gamble, yes per court analysts. Hardin of the fame J. Pierce Marshall and Anna Nicole Smith Probate fight way back in the early nineties, decided to take the same position that Steve Sadow did with Howard K. Stern in California. Very simply put, the U. S. government did not put on a case that Hardin felt was based on facts and so no defense other than friends do favors for friends in his closing arguments was his choice as a defense for Jerry Eversole.

The Houston Chronicle article also mentioned one of our old friends, Judge Tony Lindsay and the hot water her husband Jon Lindsay landed in 1993. That’s the year six-term Harris County Judge Jon Lindsay called it quits after being indicted for perjury, accused of lying on a campaign finance report and being accused by a federal convict of accepting a bribe to reroute a county road to boost the prospects of a housing development. The perjury indictments eventually were thrown out, and no criminal charges resulted from the bribery allegation. Still, Lindsay suffered a battering at the hands of then-County Attorney Mike Driscoll, who filed suit to remove the judge from office. Even that, however, was not enough to keep him out of office, as Lindsay went on to represent northern Harris County in the state Senate from 1996-2006.

The jury deliberated two hours on Friday and returned this morning and is deliberating again on the charges of alleged bribes cited by prosecutors included $17,000 Eversole received in landscaping, $30,000 in antique firearms, and $63,000 to pay off his mortgage. Eversole also was charged with filing false income tax returns in connection with the benefits.

Jerry Eversole’s friend Michael Surface also was indicted in December and is expected to go to trial in October. Defense attorneys maintain that prosecutors are “criminalizing” a 30-year friendship.

The other thing that caught my attention is the Judge Sharon Keller ongoing problems with the Texas state congress trying to impeach her and there has been another charge against her with the State Bar to disbar her, she was fined $100,000.00 by the Texas Ethics Commission, the highest ever fine, Jerry Eversole holds the second highest ever levied at a record $75,000 against him for campaign finance violations. If convicted Eversole could receive a maximum of 21 years in prison and $700,000 in fines.

Is this the beginning of cleaning up the Texas politics of hey friends help friends, or will it be business as usual and Jerry Eversole will walk this week?

Read the indictment and other papers filed before this quick trial and tell us if you think Eversole will walk?

What started out as the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. Ford Shelley, Gina Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gaither Thompson and Melanie Thompson, or known as the Shelley and Thompson Clan of South Carolina. The people who broke into Horizons in the Bahamas and then allegedly sold a lot of tapes and pictures to TMZ (remember the Methadone refrigerator picture), Splash (including the tasteless picture of Daniel Smith in his casket), tons of videos to Fox News including On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera Live, and the list goes on and on. Ford was one of the first to holler, Howard K. Stern did something to Daniel and Anna Nicole Smith, and the first at the trial to say Howard never hurt Anna……… so much for credibility. The question is though where is the money that all of that sold for????

Then enters what has become the big fish, Susan M. Brown Esq., Georgia Attorney and the Susan M. Brown Law Office, did this poor woman get left holding the bag and with the O’Quinn law firm dissolved there is no one to hand it off too. Kind of like playing musical chairs and the one left standing alone when the music stops, that would be Susan M. Brown.

Brown has tap danced for two years with the same song just different steps until she finally had a Northern District of Georgia Federal Court say she had waived the attorney client privilege under the crime fraud act…… NOT good for a lawyer’s resume, not to mention the State Bar of Georgia.

Any Objections to Susan M. Brown’s current lawyers, Joseph C. Wilson IV. and Carl E. Pierce II of Pierce, Herns, Sloan & McLeod LLC, has filed to withdraw as counsel for “the Brown Defendants”, stating it would not cause any prejudice because “the discovery concerning the Brown Defendants has not begun”. Do what??? The court ruled a long time ago that because Brown has been present for all of those depositions there would not be that much extra to tidy up the suit and have it ready for trial.

However the big WHAM in the March 2, 2011 filings is asking and filing the Motion to Withdraw with the grounds set out to substantiate the withdrawing should be in a Memorandum in Support filed UNDER SEAL “Counsel is not aware of any other means to communicate the grounds for withdrawal that would protect the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship and avoid undue prejudice to the Brown Defendants.”

However the case they quote as outweighing the right of the public right to know (I. E. the News media) on its own raises red flags of the potential seriousness of these actions. In the Knight case it states; “we explained that, while a district court has a supervisory power over its own records and may, in its discretion, seal documents if the public’s right of access is outweighed by competing interests, the presumption in such cases favors public access. The public’s right of access to judicial records and documents may be abrogated ONLY IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Accordingly before a district court may seal any court documents, we held that it must 1) provide public notice of the request to seal and allow interested parties a reasonable opportunity to object. (That date was March 21, 2011 per the South Carolina Federal Court’s Docket). 2) consider less drastic alternatives to sealing the documents, and 3) provide specific reasons and factual findings supporting its decision to seal the documents and for rejecting the alternatives.”

The Motion ends that “Counsel will submit the Memorandum in Support of the Motion to Withdraw to the Court for the Court’s in camera review and shall not file same until further notice from the Court.

Well folks I don’t think there will be any jury selection starting tomorrow, and as of midnight there has been no objections or request for a hearing on the filing being done under seal…

So what do you think Susan M. Brown needs to be protective from “avoid undue prejudice”?

As soon as we have the Court’s decision, and new dates for jury selection will post it, it is noticeable that no lawyer has filed to just transfer the case to them, as new attorney of record, things that make you go Mmmmmmmmmmmm.
