As the California Criminal Trial of Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich looms for August 4, 2010, the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith tightens the noose on four major witnesses.

You have to wonder if this will affect the credibility of Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gina Thompson Shelley, Gaither Ben Thompson II and Melodie Thompson as well as attorney Susan Brown. It also appears that Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers III for the South Carolina Federal Court decided to issue this Order without need of a Hearing.

On July 1, 2010 the Court in South Carolina issued an Court Order allowing the addition of Gaither Thompson II, Gina Shelley, Melodie Thompson and the attorney Susan Brown and her Law Firm in Atlanta Georgia. The new defendants have twenty one (21) days to answer the Amended First Complaint so don’t look for this to go to trial before the criminal charges in California is tried to conclusion.

HERE ARE THE HIGH POINTS I FOUND IN THE COURT’S SEVEN (7) PAGE ORDER

“Plaintiff asserts causes of action for conversion, wrongful taking of estate property in violation of California Probate Code § 850, et seq., statutory and common law commercial appropriation of right of publicity in violation of California Civil Code § 3344.1, unjust enrichment/restitution, unfair competition in violation of California Business & Professional Code § 17200, et seq., violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5) and civil conspiracy.

That the Estate’s property has been distributed to other entities including Geraldo Rivera with Fox News, the O’Quinn Law Firm, former television journalist Rita Cosby, and the California Department of Justice.

Counsel for Ford has consented to the filing of the proposed Amended Complaint. See Email from MacDonald to Lantta dated October 28, 2009. Thompson has not filed a Response in opposition the motion. The only opposition comes from proposed new Defendants Brown and the Law Firm. 1 Brown argues that allowing the amendments would be prejudicial to her and would be futile as to the claims against her. Brown does not appear to oppose the addition of Gaither, Melanie and Gina as Defendants in this action or to the addition of factual allegations regarding Ford’s distribution of Estate property to other third-parties.

[Brown] argues that she would be prejudiced due to the fact that she has not had the opportunity to participate in discovery as a party. However, in his Response, Plaintiff asserts that he is not opposed to amending the deadlines in this case to allow Brown to conduct discovery.

Brown argues that, as former counsel in this case, she is immune from the claims Plaintiff seeks to allege. Generally, an attorney is immune from liability to third persons arising from the performance of his or her professional activities as an attorney on behalf of and with the knowledge of his or her client. See Hunt v. Mortgage Electronic Registration, 522 F. Supp.2d 749, 758 (D.S.C. 2007). However, both Thompson and Ford testify that they did not authorize her to distribute Estate property to the O’Quinn Law. Firm.

The Clerk of Court is directed to file the Amended Complaint, which is attached as an exhibit to Plaintiff’s Motion. Plaintiff must serve the Amended Complaint within 15 days of the date of this Order. Defendants must respond in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Ok after reading the First Amended Complaint I see this is the same exhibit filed with the Court in September 2009, so nothing new here; just has not read it in almost a year.

The Broward – Palm Beach blog has posted that Larry Seidlin had two working titles the one shown here, “The Murder of Anna Nicole Smith” which is also show on Amazon and then the subtitle called “The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith” Can any of you guess what he thinks he can prove being privy to possibly “confidential” judicial records during his tenure of that three day circus in Florida?

The book, from Transit Publishing, is expected to be released on June 16, 2010; wonder if he is hoping for some great timing as before the trial in California of Howard K. Stern and the two doctors? Has he not been keeping up with the fiasco of Rita Cosby’s book? You can pre-order this literary feat from Amazon who already has a page up with a summary from the book stating:

“In his first book, The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith, retired judge Larry Seidlin unveils the truth behind one of the most watched trials in television history. Based on eyewitness accounts, trial transcripts, and confidential files, his three-year, in-depth investigation reveals what really happened on February 8, 2007, the day Anna Nicole Smith passed away.”

A three-year, in-depth investigation involving confidential files, was he able to leave the bench with those or has someone fed him some more crap?

The Broward – Palm Beach blog goes on to say in part: “…our own Lightning Larry has always been known for his probing intellect and depthy research, at least when he wasn’t speeding through dockets, playing tennis on the taxpayers’ dime, or fleecing elderly neighbor Barbara Kasler out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seidlin in my opinion is a con man, plain and simple.”

This does put a whole new light on why those stolen x-rays of Anna Nicole Smith ended up in Seidlin’s town house garbage bin doesn’t it? Perhaps Larry Siedlin did go through a LOT of things to be sure of success if the reality show that Art Harris had attempted to broker for him fizzled.

It appears from the article that those who knew of Seidlin’s background had “speculated that the judge was collecting Anna Nicole souvenirs that might be valuable someday and that might come in handy for a… book. Well, here we are.”

This Broward – Palm Beach blog has an excerpt from the lawsuit filed against the ex-judge Larry alleging he had engaged in a “calculated plan to monopolize Kasler’s life in an effort to obtain and/or use her funds, assets and property for [his] own benefit.”

From that lawsuit:

“Seidlin spent an inordinate amount of time with Kasler in her apartment. Seidlin was overly affectionate and physical with Kasler. Seidlin would often publicly fawn over Kasler, touching her face, tousling her hair, and calling her “my baby.”

Seidlin would sleep in Kasler’s bedroom. He also showered at Kasler’s apartment and would leave articles of his clothing at her apartment. When Kasler received sponge baths and was dressed and undressed by her aides, Seidlin often would not leave the room, but rather, would sit bedside.

Because of the pervasive manipulation and isolation of Kasler, she became totally dependent…”

With that catch up I have a couple of questions; did Art Harris broker this book deal for Siedlin as he tried to broker other book deals? Art Harris is friends with Seidlin and tried to broker a television reality show for him in the summer of 2007, as well as Harris says Geraldo is a good friend of his. Why did Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate grant the licensing for this image to appear on the crying ex-judge’s book jacket front? More importantly can a judge retiring take confidential files from his court to write a book? Ah yes, I have a lot of questions about crying ex-judge Larry Seidlin, his book and what happened in the dramatic conclusion of the burial hearing when sobbing Seidlin said “and I will never talk about this case again”. Translated unless I get a LOT of money.

Should Rose Speaks.com get in line for this book so we can debunk it with the ease we did Cosby’s blond ambitious book? Do you think this book will spin off a new defamation case and if so by whom?

In other case news, the South Carolina Court has set January 27, 2010 at 9:30 AM for an in camera hearing for the request of G. Ben Thompson’s South Carolina lawyer, Mr. Joyce, request to withdraw from the case and the Court has stated that G. Ben Thompson must be present.

In the Tarrant County suit on January 21, Neil McCabe entered his Answer, Special exception and Intention of designated third parties in the Teresa Stephens’ case. On January 22, Don Clark entered his Answer, Special Exception and Intention of designated third parties or adopt any other designation of third parties for any of defendants.

Yesterday, December 7, 2009, in the federal court for South Carolina, the Estate for Anna Nicole Smith filed additional documents of why attorney Susan M. Brown should be held in contempt of court, be sanction and added to the suit.

This is the case people I can’t write any opinions of a professional person image in Georgia, however the Estate’s filings say in much more detail then I could express.

So here or the papers without further comment:

There are more papers due out today, November 30, 2009 in South Carolina from G. Ben Thompson on the Motion for Contempt and for Sanctions based of his previous attorney, Susan M. Brown’s acts allegedly on his behalf.

Gathier Thompson III, Melodie Thompson, Gaither’s wife, and Gina Thompson Shelley all have Responses to the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith adding them as parties in place of the “Doe” names.

As I read over the papers filed by Susan M. Brown last week I found myself amazed as I always seem to be when it comes to the antics and ever changing lawyers from the South Carolina group of players.

In papers filed last week in the South Carolina Federal Court, Ms. Brown says she was on board with the Horizon’s dispute in the Bahamas from day one in 2006. However it appears if that is true that her clients were not straight up about the happenings in the Bahamas. If Brown’s allegations about her clients prove true in court then they appear to have made sure she missed some memos and certainly some major media news articles. If I remember correctly G. Ben Thompson has dropped all claims to Horizons and is now suing the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith (Dannielynn Birkhead), Howard K. Stern, and the lawyers Tracy Ferguson and Michael Scott. The time line for Ms. Brown being kept in the loop and the liaison between her clients and the attorneys in the Bahamas appear not to include Thompson’s attorney in January 2007, Knowles, at the news conference in the picture with this article and there is certainly nothing from Pro Pinder the current attorney in Brown’s filings. Both were attorneys in the Bahamas for Shelley and Thompson after Ferguson and Scott left the employment of the South Carolina family.

This is either dumber than a suitcase full of rocks on the South Carolina crew for not telling their lawyer everything which equals to tying your legal representatives hands and allowing them to be blindsided by the likes of L. Lin Wood. So did Thompson and Shelley throw their attorney under the bus, and did they wiave the attorney-client privilege in what appears to a free for all for Shelley and Thompson AGAIN!!

My guess from reading these filings is that Brown was not in the loop of the Horizons litigation and the property being distributed, and she is fighting for her legal career and thus like any lawyer who has been betrayed will come out fighting now that it appears that Thompson and Shelley has waived the attorney – client privilege which in my opinion was a dumb move on their part..

Here are the filings on November 24, last week and as soon as the filings come out today they will be added to this article.

In just a simple statement on the Court’s Docket dated November 20, 2009 the suit of Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby for defamation pending in the Southern District of the Federal Court of New York is over, and we will never know the truth now. Elizabeth McNamara filed the paperwork late today with the Court on behalf of both parties. The Stipulation of the settlement has not been filed yet. Therefore we don’t know if it will Stipulate that the settlement NOT be sealed; if Rita Cosby will have to do a public apology; if the books will be pulled from bookstores or if they will remain forever to haunt Howard K. Stern. From what I have read about Elizabeth McNamara if she thought Rita Cosby had a chance she would carry this all of the way to trial. Cosby has to pay for all of the work McNamara and her team has done over the last 2+ years out of Cosby’s pocket or Hachette Book’s insurance. I am sure that Lin Wood was on a contingent basis and will get his 40 – 50% plus costs off of the top and we will never know what Stern received, unless the Stipulation of the settlement is to be filed openly we will never know what Howard K. Stern walks away with.

STIPULATION OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL It is hereby stipulated and agreed by and between the parties and/or their respective counsel(s) that the above-captioned action is voluntarily dismissed, with prejudice against the defendant(s) Rita Cosby and without costs to either party pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Document filed by Rita Cosby

November 20, 2009 Dismissal of lawsuit with prejudiced in the Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby defamation suit, additional stipulations of the settlement will be filed later, both parties to pay their own costs.

We have new papers in South Carolina on the Anna Nicole Smith Estate vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley et. al There are also new papers in Harris County Texas involing Virgie Arthur vs. Howard K. Stern filed by CBS.

I will be listing here in the download section with links as soon as they are coded in.

We are investigating allegations that Art Harris hired himself out to change public opinion on a case without making that disclosure. If this is true after I complete the reading of these allegations as a neutral blogger always looking for the truth through facts and documents I will have some things to say about any “journalist” or blogger selling their services without making a disclosure and then claiming to be “unbiased” and “seeking the truth” through hard work with an open mind. I think most of you know my personal feelings about infotainment passing itself off as news, so these accusations if true I find alarming.

This is an open discussion thread but please play nice with each other. Each of you do not need any defending as all of you are intelligent and handle yourself with wisdom, insight and sharing your take on things. We will be opening a forum where you can say anything you want in a free for all, but please keep it off of the blog.

November 17, 2009 Stancil Ford Shelley and Howard K. Stern as the Executor of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith filed their consent for the Court to allow Susan M. Brown’s Motion to withdraw as counsel for G. Ben Thompson. Stern’s agreement to allow Brown to withdraw is contingent on Brown not being able to attempt to avoid jurisdiction in the South Carolina federall court since Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate has filed a Motion for Leave to add Brown as well as Gaither Thompson II, Gina Thompson Shelley and Melody Thompson of which the Court has not ruled on as of November 17.

With a head line like that you can just imagine where this article is going.

I woke up this morning to a bunch of B. S. in my in box and was sure this was a surreal Trick or Treat Halloween prank and a pretty good one I thought. That is until I realized it was REAL and then the anger and feeling sick began to settle in.

We have Rita Cosby’s good friend, James Edstrom, writing on his “gossip site” today that at a party or nightclub he was at in December 2007 that O’Quinn was, “Two Sheets to the Wind”. We are please to say because of a tad of nudging by Rose Speaks.com, Edstrom cleaned up his article and gave Mr. O’Quinn the credit he deserved and took away the New York style of bragging when you really can’t remember for sure what happened.

The Houston Chronicle is now reporting that John O’Quinn was driving at a high rate of speed when his SUV became airborne and impaled on a t tree killing O’Quinn and Johnny Cutliff instantly. The Houston Police Department has turned the investigation over to it’s “Vehicle Crimes” department for a thorough investigation. That department said although the road was slightly wet it would not have caused the type of accident that killed O’Quinn and Johnny Cutliff unless O’Quinn had been traveling at a high rate of speed. They have recovered John O’Quinn’s cell phone from the wreckage and with that and the black box from the SUV they hope to have some answers next week. It will take several weeks to get the toxicology reports back, but police said it did not appear that any medication etc. was involved in the fatal crash. Which brings up a question I have. We have all heard the stories of a police officer placing a speeding ticket in the pocket of a speeder killed in a vehicle accident, could a posthumous charge apply to O’Quinn for the death of Johnny Cutliff? Mr. O’Quinn’s funeral will be on November 4, 2009 at 11 AM at the Second Baptist Church in Houston with a showing open to the public from 4PM to 8 PM on November 3. We do not have the funeral arrangements yet for Mr Cutliff but as soon as we do we will list it here for those of his friends whom have asked us to keep them updated.

With John O’Quinn now dead the fear of Houston publications being sued by this giant of a man literally and figuratively. They appear to be beginning understanding that and so slowly they are printing “their truth” about O’Quinn. Some if it includes that; “The death of John O’Quinn in a single-car vehicle crash abruptly and prematurely ended the saga of a man as big and brash and full of contradictions as his native city.” The Houston Chronicle article went on to say in part; “Like Houston — a brilliant, rambunctious city that sometimes seems to have a chip on its shoulder — the 68-year-old, 6-foot-4 O’Quinn combined great achievement, wealth and generosity with a gnawing insecurity. In this brilliant, rambunctious lawyer’s case, it took the form of alcohol abuse and a tendency to push his practice of law beyond his acknowledged courtroom brilliance to the ethical boundaries of the profession.”

“…O’Quinn was demonized by tort reform advocates as a symbol of frivolous lawsuits and outrageously large damage awards. … O’Quinn established himself as a premier plaintiff’s lawyer in a city renowned for its legal giants. Yet he rarely seemed at peace with that status, trying to fill a void that money and fame could not reach. In recent years, O’Quinn’s friends say he found a measure of contentment and stability. Even so, it’s hard to imagine this most dynamic of Houstonians ever wanting to rest in peace.” Many in Texas say that John O’Quinn almost single handed was the motivation for tort reform in Texas and thus Texas is now a safe haven for doctors to practice and not have to pay a fortune for malpractice insurance.

Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole Smith’s estranged mother, will be making her first public interview since the Inquest into Daniel Smith’s death in 2008. Ms. Arthur has returned to a trusted allied in Geraldo Rivera to do the interview. It is ironic the interview will on Halloween night, kind of fits Geraldo’s bizarre sensationalism. Ms. Arthur is expected to talk about her personal loss with John O’Quinn’s death. Knowing Geraldo though I am willing to bet the conversation will cross over to her enemy Howard K. Stern being bound over for trial in California with two of Smith’s doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich with the third arraignment of the three scheduled for December 11. Surely as a “lawyer” (cough – cough) Gerlado knew this was to be expected and is no real win which equals high fives for his participation in this “alleged” lynching. So be sure and set your clocks for Geraldo, have a glass of red wine and see how Geraldo turns all of this into sensational infotainment for the All Mighty Dollar, [advertising revenue]. Does Geraldo, you think, ever feel any shame or is the nature of infotainment is those who bring in the advertising dollars get to keep their much lusted after shows?

Then there is Harvey Levin, the Jewish gay lawyer/journalist that has made internet sensationalism via his celebrity gossip blog into a way to bring in tons of money via advertising. Are we seeing a picture emerge here that involved infotainment and dollar signs? There are plenty of allegations around Hollyweird, we have learned, that Levin, if our source is correct and the allegations are true, also shares one thing with Anna Nicole Smith – an addiction to Methadone. Isn’t he just a tad afraid that feel good Jerry Brown might hone in on him next?

Levin, since Anna Nicole Smith’s death, has hardly held back his personal disdain for Howard K. Stern while showing favor in positive articles for his “good friend”, Larry Birkhead. Levin and his staff have allowed, since 2007, many – many posts of anti-Semitism and right down hate for Stern to flourish uncontrolled on TMZ.com and often fed by Harvey Levin via TMZ.com.

The sickest example of this lust for that all mighty advertising dollar, is the horrid reference to the now infamous Anna Nicole Smith’s clown video that has been released in public discovery in both the New York defamation suit of Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby but also as of yesterday the California criminal proceedings.

If one is to believe what Harvey Levin appears to be alleging about Anna Nicole Smith in her ninth month of pregnancy, then we must assume Levin is implying that Dannielynn Birkhead was born suffering from the effects of multiple drug addictions. Now how is Levin going to explain that one to his good friend Larry Birkhead? Perhaps the free face time and positive press he has always lavish on Birkhead will be enough for Birkhead to forgive what Levin appears to saying in his most recent allegations involving the infamous clown tape and Howard K. Stern.

I bet this morning or yesterday, Levin was beating himself up for not buying that tape himself at the time he bought the photos of the refrigerator from the Bahamas home known as Horizons; the infamous unfilled fax for medication from Dr. Eroshevich to Dr. Kapoor just days after Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole’s son, died. Then of course there are those continuous changing and selling of affidavits by the nannies which neither the National Inquirer or Birkhead found to be believable but Levin bought them right up for publication on TMZ. Do you feel sorry that Levin let the infamous clown video slip through his greedy hands?

Harvey have you not been watching the preliminary hearing and the sharpness of Stern’s criminal attorney Steve Sadow? My bet is you ain’t seen nothing yet, and get some new news not the recycle bull shit appearing on your web celebrity slamming blog site. You like all of us knew Stern and the two doctors would be bound over for trial, so why the cheap shots by you? Oh yea I forgot that constant chase for the illusive advertising dollars in a shaky economy.

Finally we have Lin Wood playing with Georgia Attorney Susan M. Brown a frustrating game for him called “where are the hard drives”.

In the latest filings in the South Carolina federal court the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith is asking for contempt charges and sanctions against G. Ben Thompson and his “former” attorney, Susan M. Brown.

In more of the excerpt of Brown’s deposition released with the October 29 filing, you have to wonder where Brown got her law license. Now to think that Wood made a comment about Texas lawyers lacking ethics, I bet he is feeling a Georgia lawyer is also a tad shy of ethics today.

As you read the excerpt with again some pages redacted, at the end do you have any clear idea of “where are the hard drives”?

I came away scratching my head after seeing so many attorneys in the deposition of Susan M. Brown in person and by phone distancing themselves from Brown in what has to be an old time record of “we don’t have them, do you”, behavior, of “where’s the hard drives”.

What does happen to an attorney if it is proven that she did commit a crime of fraud as the Memorandum from the Georgia Court ordering her to appear for a deposition states and proves to be true?

There is the Motion for Contempt, the Memorandum of Law in support of the contempt and sanctions, new exhibits to read, some old exhibits referred to and the excerpt of Lin Wood trying to pin a room full of lawyer down to “Where are the hard drives” in a game which is funny and sad at the same time.

Ah the continued entwining of all things Anna Nichol Smith and the money and publicity she has continued to earn in death. Do you think the Georgia attorney, Susan M. Brown is being investigated for ethics violations in Georgia as well as the charges she faces in South Carolina?

Ms. Brown as does Gaither Thompson II, Gina Thompson Shelley and Melody Thompson have to file their answers by November 16 after being added to the lawsuit in place of a few Doe names. We also have a far more serious filing from Brown due on November 16, the Contempt of Court and Request for Sanctions against both her and her previous, or is she still his current lawyer, G. Ben Thompson. Ah to be a fly on the wall when that hearing finally takes place.

Is Anna Nicole Smith more famous in death then she ever was in life? Has her death created a new piranha feeding frenzy not seen before in the land of gossip and infotainment?

I’ll get back with all of you after I force myself to watch Geraldo, I really don’t like the guy. I wonder how Virgie Arthur looks after being out of the lime light for the last 18 months.

We will have all of the latest documents listed by date and court here today. Check back and remember that the downloads are opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.
