The world waits for the Jury Verdict to come in next week in the Dr. Conrad Murray Trial in the Involuntary Manslaughter charge in the death of Michael Jackson.
What is Dr. Murray and his lead defense attorney Edward Chernoff thinking and doing today, waiting for the jury to come back perhaps as early as tomorrow with a verdict.
Here is the jury instructions for you to read through and decide how tough is this going to be for this jury.
Straight Talk with John J Nazarian guests tonight are Criminal Defense attorney Adam Braun, who has been both a prosecutor and now one of the top criminal attorneys in California. Adam Braun can tell us what the Deputy D. A. David Walgren and his team or doing and thinking today about the upcoming week. Braun can also tell us what it is like as a defense lawyer waiting for the verdict to come in and Braun can give us a pretty good guess as to what Dr. Conrad Murray is doing this weekend except for just praying.
Adam Braun will be joined by two retired homicide detectives who were also partners for a time with the L. A. P. D, Robert Jakucs and William Cox. They can share what the detectives are doing this weekend now that months and months of work is complete and it is just a waiting game at this point.
The radio broadcast will be embedded here soon after it airs live at 7 PM PST – 10 PM EST
Adam H. Braun, Esq.
One of the best criminal defense lawyers in California. Braun is the Principal at Law Offices of Adam H. Braun and was a Federal Prosecutor at the United States Attorney’s Office for over 6 years. The Princeton University graduate represented Dr. Khristine Eroshevich during the lead up to the Anna Nicole Smith trial. Braun was the attorney for one of Anthony Pelicanno’s co-defendants. Braun comes from one of the highest profile families of brilliant criminal attorneys.
Robert A. Jakucs – Retired Homicide Detective of L.A.P.D
Robert A. Jakucs is a retired Los Angeles Police Department Detective with over 30-years of investigative experience. During his distinguished career with the L.A.P.D he worked such high-profile assignments as Homicide, Hollywood Vice, SWAT, Robberies, Burglaries, Complex Thefts, and gang-related shootings. He was a member of the Night Stalker Task Force that investigated the serial murderer Richard Ramirez. Robert Jakucs is also a consultant for national television specializing in private and police investigation issues and has appeared on the news shows Nightline, 20/20 and Inside Edition.
William Cox was a Los Angeles Police Detective who retired in 2007 after 32 years
William Cox worked in a variety of assignments including uniformed patrol, CRASH (gang detail) in South-Central and West Los Angeles areas. He also worked homicides for over 20 years and finished his career in Robbery-Homicide Division (RHD) which handles major cases including serial killers, multiple murders, media and high-profile cases, officer-involved shootings, and assaults and murders on police officers. He also worked the Rampart Corruption Task Force for two years. William Cox was also involved or handled several high-profile cases over the years including the Kimes (mother-son grifters who were responsible for 3 murders in LA, NY, and the Bahamas); the Goetz of the West case; the murder of the pregnant mother at LAX; plus several others.
William Cox has appeared on Investigative Discovery channel, 48 Hours, and E-entertainment. He is currently employed by the US State Dept. as a background investigator.
William Cox’s last case he worked on at RHD was a Chinese immigrant student attending USC who had gone to a frat party and had attempted to pull a gun and start shooting students. He was wrestled to the ground by other students who then called police. After a search warrant was served on the suspect’s apartment Cox and three other detectives were sent to NY City to investigate and attempt to identify approximately 20 persons he had targeted to possibly kill. (This incident occurred shortly after the mass murders at West Virginia Tech.) Cox was also working on a murder where a husband set his car and wife on fire on the Golden State Frwy. Cox had also been working (for the past four years) on a double homicide that had occurred in 2002 wherein two victims were killed in their car and their car set on fire. That murder was the story that 48 Hours has done and shown on television in February 2011.
With this combined years of experience this is a must tune in a listen and even ask a question of two as to what we should expect this coming week of the verdict watch for Dr. Conrad Murray.
Telephone lines are always open to call in, join in the discussion or ask questions of John and his guests, Adam Braun, Robert “Bob” Jakucs and William “Bill” Cox at 818-572-8030 long distances charges do apply.
Note from Ken and Rose Turner Because so many of you have asked here goes:
John J. Nazarian does not own any part of Rose Speaks.com nor will he ever. Rose Speaks.com is a labor of love that came to be because those here saw a grave terrible miscarriage of justice being done to a man none of us knew. Rose Speaks.com does not own any part of Desperate Exes.com or any other site belonging to John J. Nazarian.
Many of you have noted that Ken has not been on the blog hardly at all for a few months. Ken has opened his own company, studied hard, and then got the chance of a lifetime to represent John J Nazarian on many levels and endeavors. Ken got these chances from hard work nothing less and nothing more. I know that most of you really like Ken and wish him and the others that are part of K N Turner and Associates only the best in their upcoming endeavors.
A must hear interview with Dr. Cyril H. Wecht who is an expert in Forensic Medicine who has frequently appeared on several nationally syndicated programs, national News Magazine shows, and HLN, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc. His expertise has been utilized in high profile cases involving the assassinations of both President John F. Kennedy and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the death of Elvis Presley, the O.J. Simpson case, and the JonBenet Ramsey cases. He is certified by the American Board of Pathology, in anatomic, clinical, and forensic Pathology, and is also a Fellow of the College of American Pathologists and the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.
Dawna Kaufmann his co-author on “A Question of Murder” and “From Crime Scene to Court Room” also appeared on Sunday night, October 23, 2011. Dawna Kaufmann is an accomplished true crime journalist. Her new book, “From Crime Scene to Courtroom: Examining the Mysteries Behind Famous Cases,” written with Dr. Cyril Wecht, blasts open the death probes involving Michael Jackson, Casey Anthony and five other criminal cases. Kaufmann has covered hundreds of high-profile homicide and missing person cases for national publications. She is also an award-winning producer and writer, with a multitude of credits in television, including late-night comedy programming and prime-time network variety series.
Neither held back in the one hour interview. You can hear Dr. Wecht being blunt about the jury verdict in the Casey Anthony case as well as his opinion of both Dr. Murray but also discussing the friendship that appears to be unraveling between the D. A. expert Dr. Shafer and his previous teacher and mentor Dr. White.
What do you think? Could Dr. Cyril Wecht have been any clearer to his thoughts of the Casey Anthony jury or of Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson; then add his thoughts of the battling expert? Dr. Wecht and Dawna Kaufmann gave us a look into behind the scenes of these cases and a new one Dr. Wecht has been hired this week to exhume a body for a second autopsy in a high profile case in California.
What do all you think about the latest news that Dr. Conrad Murray might serve any sentence under home arrest with an ankle bracelet?

The theme was running the same whether listening to Straight Talk with John J. Nazarian which airs at 4 PM PST; or Dr. Drew on HLN which airs on HLN at 9 PM EST and PST and 8 PM CST and MST. Appears the experts agrees this trial is a runaway, and the defense is changing daily as to what they are going to present as a reason for the overdose death of Michael Jackson.
We will embed shows on three days of each of the shows including my opinion on Straight Talk with John J. Nazarian this week.
Anesthesiologist on Michael Jackson trial: “Never abandon the patient”
Dr. John Dombrowski, an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist, appeared on Dr. Drew’s HLN show Tuesday night to discuss one of the most chilling moments of the Conrad Murray trial – the playing of an audio recording that contained Michael Jackson slurring his speech, which was allegedly taped by Dr. Murray. For many, that recording is proof that the King of Pop suffered from substance abuse. However, Dr. Murray alleges that he had no idea that other doctors were supplying Jackson with drugs, in his jaw-dropping statement to police.
Dombrowski said:
“When a patient comes to me in the operating room, I have to know every medication he or she is on, so I know how the anesthetic will interact with the individual.”
And ended the interview with another significant point:
“Any time you give anyone an anesthetic, you never leave the patient. You don’t say, ‘he self-administered – he drank it – went someplace else.’ I am always there in attendance to find out what goes on. You never abandon the patient at any time.”
Conrad Murray’s relationship with Michael Jackson: “You can’t be a physician and a friend”
On Wednesday night, Dr. Drew addressed the issue of a few other physicians who treated Jackson that have claimed to be friends with the superstar. Last week, we heard tapes of Dr. Conrad Murray being questioned by detectives. In that interview, Murray stated that Michael Jackson was his friend. Guest Dr. Mark Urman, cardiologist and board member of the American Heart Association explained that it’s “very easy to get enamored” with somebody who’s famous.
Dr. Mark Urman said that it’s all about boundaries:
“You have to make it clear, and I do this with all my patients, that there are certain things that are allowable [and] there are certain things that aren’t. Just because somebody is trying to press you into doing something, you know, is not right, you feel uncomfortable about it, and it’s not good medical practice. You’ve got to take a stand.”
Dr. Drew summed up his thoughts later in the show by stating:
“You can’t be physician and friend … it’s dangerous. Boundaries become unclear … and when people have a substance problem, that’s where it really goes off the rail.”
Last night on The Dr. Drew Show, guest host Ryan Smith and his panel of attorneys discussed the latest on the Conrad Murray trial. Now that the Defense is dropping its original claim that Michael Jackson swallowed a fatal dose of Propofol, the experts took a deeper look to determine whether or not they think the Defense’s case is crumbling right before our eyes!
Mark Eiglarsh, criminal defense attorney, explained that the Defense is losing the case by asking the Prosecution’s witnesses open-ended questions that highlight Murray’s guilt:
“Most of the highlights of this trial that are against Conrad Murray happen on cross-examination. You get in, you get out, you ask leading questions and you don’t give [the Prosecution's] experts another opportunity to just go all over your client and highlight why he’s guilty.”
Darren Kavinoky agreed, saying that the Defense should use cross-examination as an opportunity highlight Murray’s innocence:
“Actually, cross-examination is the Defense lawyer’s stock in trade. You get more points by cross-examining the other side’s witnesses than you ever do by putting on your own. The jurors always expect that your witnesses are going to be favorable to you. It’s the good stuff, those nuggets you get from the other guy’s witnesses that turn cases.”
What do you think? Could Conrad Murray really have been in the dark about the drugs other doctors were administering to Michael Jackson?
Was Conrad Murray overstepping his bounds by being Michael Jackson’s friend? Or does his friendship with Michael Jackson make the case that he would not want to murder a friend?
Does the Defense stand a chance in winning the case?
What do all you think about the latest news that Dr. Conrad Murray might serve any sentence under home arrest with an ankle bracelet?

#21 Christopher Rogers LA Co coroner Chief forensic medicine. ##22 Dr. Richard Lewis Ruffalo Clinical Anesthesiologist
Christopher Rogers
LA Co coroner. position. Chief forensic medicine. Supervise doctors who work at coroner’s office, and occasionally do autopsies himself.
Manner of death?
Homicide
Homicide based on what?
It was based primarily based on the info we had on the medical care MJ receded. The care was substandard.
Cross by Flanagan.
Now tell me, how do drugs get in to the heart blood?
Well, in this setting, propofol has to be administered intravenously, and so that blood circulates throughout the body.
.
So, an injection? Yes. Iv? Yes. Orally Yes.
But in the event that propofol were taken orally, that’s one way it could appear in the stomach? Yes, that’s a way it could appear in the stomach.
And if this is the hypothetical, of ingestion of propofol by the decedent, and ingestion of lydocaine, by the decedent, this would not be a homicide?
I would think it would still be a homicide. Based on the quality y of the medical of care, I would still consider it a homicide even if the Dr. did not give the propofol…
REDIRECT
Let’s assume that Dr. left him alone with the patient and the patient self administered, (snip; I don’t get the full hypothetical) you would still (rule it a homicide based on the standard of care.)
Yes.
Recross Flanagan
So, even if Dr. Murray gave more than 25 mg between 1040 and 10:50 we still have the same result that MJ would be awake at 11 o’clock?
Yes, assuming there was a single dose.
And that he would also be dead by 11 o’clock? ???
Richard Lewis Ruffalo
Anesthesiologist.
And what’s a clinical pharmacologist? That’s someone who studies drugs and how they are used.
So, he thinks the numbers of the benzodiazapams from the heart blood, he thinks reflect an injection/ingestion of a HIGHER dose than what Dr. Murray states he gave.

Focusing on just those that you mentioned, who now become an extreme departure of care.
Yes.
So each individual, when you put them together, it becomes so egregious, that it becomes extreme. That any physician should know should be trained in the basics of life support.
Overall, identified several points of extreme deviation of care.
And addressed the one handed CPR on the bed. “Totally useless.”
One handed behind the back? It’s totally useless. You can’t get enough pressure to push down on the chest. We use that in neonatal. Describes what you should do with an adult in the bed. Describes how you get them out of the bed easily. Even if you claim you can’t move the person from the bed, the proper training would be to protect the head, slide the individual off the bed, and then be able to start chest compression.
Even if they are morbidly obese, you can generally do that…
Cross by Flannigan
45x what it is in the hospital blood. That doesn’t go with your theory.
Yes, I made a mistake.
Now if we have 45x whets in the stomach than what’s in the blood. then we have evidence of oral ingestion.
We may have to check with the coroner, to check with what the numbers mean. Now, it doesn’t make sense unless he ingested it orally.
So, we’re back to it being orally? Well, we’ll have to talk to the coroner.
It’s a big difference isn’t’ it?
I totally agree.
REDIRECT
Assuming self administration as Mr. F included, would any of your opinions change in your standard of care?
No. You don’t walk away from a patient. (explains in detail. Addicts, that is the first tip off, you don’t walk away, just like a heroin addict.)
The people rest their case.
No defense presented except a statement
Judge Pastor: Is the Attorney General present? (did JP ask that? I think they said they were!)
JP said he was ready to rule on that request (from the medical board).
This court has reviewed all the evidence the def motion to dismiss is denied. Appear 2 me of the evidence the offense has been committed, in order Dr Murray be held there for.
Ms. Saunders Medical board.
We’re appearing on behalf of director of the medical board, to provide justice and that as a condition of bail, that the defendant have restrictions on him as a condition of his bail not to be able to practice…
After trial, that this order to this defendant not practice and to show that an order of the safely to the public has been met.
Since the defendant held over, that there are restrictions on his license are in effect we further request that he be prevented from practicing here in California.
Judge Pastor: Increase the bail, court denies the request. Satisfied that the bail presently set, which is three times the presumptive bail (is sufficient (. Certainly recognize posture. court does have the ability to reconsider, I have done so and I am satisfied and shall remain.
This hearing has been a significant hearing as far as presentation and evidence and the rights of the defense to explore evidence presented and to underline the sufficiency of any case. The cross has been extensive probing and vigorous. There is no erroneous issue of a depravity issue.
So as I balance all of these factors under Eldridge and People vs. Ramirez, due process has been afforded Dr. Murray.
Circumstances have changed have changed dramatically, court finds extraordinary mandates to approving the request by the medical board.
So, he’s restricting the license or banning it all together. cites a case the overall consideration of the protection of the public, and I’m satisfied that non intervention at this time, does impose a danger to public safety.
In this case there is a direct nexus and connection between the actions of Dr. Murray, and a homicide. …and the fitness and competence to practice medicine.
In undertaking an issue of restrictions ct recognizes the standard of proof is not simple probable cause, the standard of proof the ct must utilize, there is clear and convincing proof that there is a certainly that sanctions are appropriate.
Immediately cease and desist from practicing in the state of California is now suspended by this court as a condition of bail.
They are to notify the appropriate authorities in other states within the next 24 hours.
Provide represite proof to this court, in the next 24 hours. to any and all licensing agencies where Dr. M holds a license.
Dr. Murray is not to practice in any other jurisdiction, in less he is so license.
Arraignment will be set two weeks from today. January 25th, at 8L30 A. M.
Nothing else?

Witness #17 Stephen J. Marx, computer forensic examiner Witness #18 Tim Lopez Las Vegas specialty pharmacy owner #19 Jaime Lintemoot Senior criminologist. LA co dept of coroner’s office. #20 Orlando Martinez city of LA robbery homicide.
I can’t remember who told me this (I think it was In Session’s correspondent Beth Karas but I’m NOT positive) but one of Dr. Murray’s attorneys is J. Michael Flanagan. Apparently, Flanagan is noted for achieving an acquittal for a defendant in another case involving propofol.
DDA Walgren: We will be calling toxicologists to the stand today or tomorrow. There will be summary report of that finding that will be introduced. No problem from the defense about that.
DDA stipulate that iPhone is the phone recovered on July 28th, 2009. All stipulate.
DDA discussed Marx’ background, employment on July 28th, 2009 Computer forensic examiner in the DEA. Now since retired. Was employed 7-8 years. responsible for extracting computer evidence and present it for evidence (at trial).
DDA Q: Did conduct analysis of this iPhone as related to the unallocated space.
Marx: Yes.
DDA Q: Did you find some screen shots?
Marx: Yes I did.
(Sprocket note: Clerical issue. Walgren restate numbering issue. Goes over the Exhibit numbers and what they are specifically. I check with reporter next to me who believes it was Conrad Murray denying the release of his medical records regarding Michael Jackson.)
DDA Q: (Ms. Brazil direct.) Through questioning, establishes Lopez’ background. Employed as a pharmacist for 15 years. Business owner of Applied Pharmacy Services, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Describes his duties as owner; clientele is patients that have been directed by a doctor/facility.
Through questioning, DDA establishes that in June (Sprocket note: year illegible may be 2008) received a phone call from Conrad Murray. He identified himself as African American and that most of his patients were African American and that some of these patients suffer from vitaliago. He was asking about bedoquin product, regarding the strength it comes in. Murray was interested in the 20% strength.
DDA Q: Did he ask if you were able to provide medications for his other clinics?
Lopez: Yes. He asked about propofol and saline bags.
Sprocket then goes through the amount of supplies and medicines ordered from Lopez and shipping information including FedEx tracing.
Cross by defense attorney Low.
Q: Is it fair to say as a pharmacist, part of your job is to provide prescription medication to doctors?
Lopez: Yes.
Q: There are a lot of laws and rules and regs your supposed to (comply with)?
Lopez (paraphrasing): Before you [can] be a good pharmacist, is following the rules, is before filling a new prescription, you need to verify the validity … of the license.

This many high profile names in the headlines yesterday just from California is a good day for tabloid news, well except for Feel Good AG Jerry Brown of California. It almost appeared as the gubernatorial race is gearing up for 2010 Jerry Brown wanted some reason to give a press conference. Hey Mr. Brown, why Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khistine Eroshevich, you have a bag full of press time and face time if you would just discuss the case that is over shadowing the news media locally, nationally and internationally, remember Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray? The two doctors currently in court were doctors who main crime appears to be is being struck by the celebrity of their patient Anna Nicole Smith; thus involving a celebrity patient, Anna Nicole Smith, accidental death from prescription medication. On the other hand the Michael Jackson and Dr. Murray, involved a dangerous anesthesia, Propofol, IV poles and with a warning that a doctor is never suppose to give this powerful and potential lethal mediation except in the strict confines of a hospital under supervision with a crash cart nearby because it can kill your patient.
Dr. Perper ruled in Florida, that Anna Nicole Smith’s death was an accidental combination of prescriptions, with neither doctor that now faces a trial even present on her day of death. Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide and that occurred in the state where feel good AG Jerry Brown, had jurisdiction over the corpse of Michael Jackson, you know he died in your state; jurisdiction over the dangerous Propofol anesthesia, equipped with IV poles, and a giant warning on it’s label of “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME; and to make all of this a tidy backdrop for a picture perfect AG Jerry Brown to have a soapbox news conference. Brown has jurisdiction over all of the people, the celebrity death and the anesthesia and you have the physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, and yet Brown claims, if infotainment news is to be believed that Brown is laying low on the Jackson investigation, WHY?? Is that an admission that the Kapoor – Eroshevich investigation was botched by your office? Now that is not going to look good for an eighty year old “wanna be governor” who is setting his stars on the Smith death to gain the governorship of California just one more time. If you live in California would you want Brown in charge of your money and saving your state from total meltdown financially?
However, Brown not to be deterred sent his assistant attorney general; the one that would take over Brown’s job if at eighty Brown became sick while serving as the Attorney General of California. From the accounts inside the court room that poor man got his arse handed to him with a strong lecture, you have to wonder if this guy was worried that his boss, Brown was not going to get that face time Brown was hoping for. However, if Brown wants face time and plenty of it as the election year rolls around, my advice try concentrating on the Michael Jackson homicide, doesn’t his three small children deserve any less from the man who would spearhead any charges connected to their daddy’s murder/homicide?
Following sending Brown’s representative by to Brown’s office some strong directed words, only as Judge Wesley could do Brown’s guy was sent backing.
After the hearing, Eroshevich’s attorney, Adam Braun, told the media that; “There’s simply no basis to prevent her from practicing medicine at this point.”[This case] is related to a single patient and on its face, it’s laughable that she would [be deemed] an imminent threat to the public.”
Judge Wesley sat a “boring” Motion and how to interview those pesky people who stole a few things from Anna Nicole Smith and as one source who knows Ford Shelley said; he is strutting like a peacock saying he is the KEY witness in sending Howard K. Stern and the two doctors to prison. Well that is unless Shelley is indicted before he appears on some pesky federal charges for paying an FIDC bank loan off with a forged rental agreement which was not worth the papers Ford Shelley wrote it on. Shelley might just graduate from a no body to a high profile person in a way he does not want. Once source told us because of Shelley handling the family business in such a shell game stunt it has ripped the family apart and that Gina, Ford Shelley’s wife, has to do nails and hair to try to keep her husband afloat. I guess without Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate’s belongings to auction off for a flow of cash, Shelley is finding himself a tad broke, and minus family support. Wonder if this will be a wonderful holiday season for Shelley? Will the Thompson family invite him over for dinner, I am told don’t hold your breath and if you are going to make a bet, it would be that Shelley will be left out in the cold.
Back to the California criminal trial, Judge Wesley has set one “housekeeping” Motions, discovery, handing over more evidence to the defense etc. for Friday, December 18 and a tentative trial date of February 5, 2010. However, Steve Sadow, the lead attorney for Stern told the waiting press that because of Motions to be filed and the schedule of the Court his client’s trial might postpone until sometime in the summer of 2010.
I wonder if that will be enough time for Brown to decide to get the microphones ready for a series of news conferences to trout out the Jackson homicide for his gubernatorial campaign.
A court watcher media person told us from yesterday’s hearing that Stern looked more self assured, even with a tad of arrogance. My thoughts on that is I would be willing to bet if he has extra money these days jingling in his pocket and room to take a deep sigh these days that would be courtesy of Rita Cosby, although everyone is keeping mum about that to be sure something like the O’Quinn settlement from appearing on those pesky gossip sites, like “T”.

Is it Déjà vu of Anna Nicole Smith who is rumored to have loved clowns and to dress up as a clown, we all remember the now infamous “Clown Video”? This Halloween it appears that Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn, is following once again in her mother’s foot steps. Tell us what you think of Anna Nicole beside her daughter Dannielynn and right before Halloween?
Here are the rest of the headlines as we head into tomorrow’s first day of hearings.
What some predict will be a possible 10 day hearing and could well be a walk through dud hearing, the state is not going to show their cards and someone once told me a D. A. could get a Grand Jury to Indict on a Ham and Cheese sandwich the bar is so low. This is a Preliminary hearing and I doubt the bar of proof to hold over to trial is much higher only public as opposed to a Grand Jury. That said, it does give AG. Feel good Jerry Brown another go at the free advertising of a very public hearing, and right before the kick off of his 2010 guberernatorial bid. The only better camera opportunity for Feel Good AG Jerry Brown is if cameras were going to be in the court room and him sitting with the assistant D. A. Add that with a possible indictment of one of Michael Jackson’s doctos by the grand jury in Los Angeles this week and Jerry Brown must be in euphoria.
Per a comment from the AP: “Attorney Adam Braun, who represents Eroshevich, said the evidence disclosed at the hearing may be surprising, but the outcome of the proceeding before Superior Court Judge Robert Perry is predictable. Preliminary hearings represent the lowest possible hurdle for a prosecutor to clear and are virtually impossible for a prosecutor to lose,” he said. “If the prosecutors in this case somehow can’t make it past the preliminary hearing, they should be laid off.” Braun said he was unlikely to call any witnesses of his own. “Given the general futility of the exercise, Dr. Eroshevich will listen intently to the prosecutors’ allegations and reserve her defense for maximum surprise at trial,” he said.
Howard K. Stern’s ride them in cowboy attorney also gave a statement to the AP in the same article of: “Steve Sadow, the Atlanta attorney representing Stern, said he had not yet decided whether to call defense witnesses but would try to make his case through aggressive cross-examination. He expects some colorful witnesses, including the investigators.”
No cameras and lots of first and maybe second day interviews is what I expect at lunch breaks from the colorful Sadow. Expect Adam Braun to keep his head down and make notes while talking to his client and I expect the same from Dr. Sandeep Kapoor’s attorney, Ellyn Garafalo, of keeping her cards close to her chest as well, however I hope Sadow gives us some colorful commentary of this hearing on behalf of his client, Howard K. Stern. I wonder if Virgie Arthur with her attorney Neil McCabe and top investigator Don Clark will also be present, if so except a couple of news nuggets from them.
Then we have Larry Birkhead’s friend, Harvey Levin and the TMZ staff giving Birkhead more face time with the story entitled: “Birkhead Star Witness In Howard K. Case”. So is Birkhead going to sink Howard K Stern or save him? No matter how it goes it is going to give Birkhead a lot of face time in front of cameras again.
Then if this is not strange enough for everyone here is the cake topper; Reuters News reporting that: “Mark ‘Hollywood’ Hatten Now Under Protective Custody From Jax Desmond Worldwide”. That would be the company Mark Speer works for or worked for. The article goes to say; “NEW YORK, Oct. 12 “The Jax Desmond Worldwide Corporation today announced that Mark “Hollywood” Hatten is now under their protective custody. Hatten is a former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith who recently spoke with national media concerning allegations he claimed transpired between Anna Nicole and him while they were dating. “Hollywood” claims Smith begged him to help her in a “Murder For Hire” plot to kill her stepson E. Pierce Marshal.”
Jax Desmond Worldwide states that it “is a diversified private military company that provides protective security solutions to government and civilian clients… The Company offers a broad range of innovative services to customers, helping them to safeguard their biggest assets – their people.” Now how much is an interview with Mark Hatten worth after the old recycle FBI plot from 1999 or 2000 suddenly appeared last week? Wonder if Mark Spear’s still works for them?
Hatten’s interviews seem to be about the story the AP ran with last week where someone asked them to do a Freedom of Information Act Request from the FBI and ran what was obvious old and debunked news.
Is this going to be enough to bring the three ring circus back to town but this time in the Hollyweird Criminal Justice courts or is it going to fizzle as most of the public wait for what might be the indictment of Michael Jackson’s former doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray.?
