Many of us are beginning to wonder if the jury is a hung jury on some of the counts. There are 21 all together against Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. The three are charged with multiple felonies for allegedly conspiring to furnish prescription drugs to an addict. Stern has nine felony counts against him and Kapoor and Eroshevich each have six felony counts and there are a slew of misdemeanor counts against each defendant.

Stern and the two doctors’ charges include conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance, obtaining a prescription for opiates by fraud, deceit or misrepresentation, obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address and prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict and conspiracy to commit a crime.
.
The defense took a gamble and did not present any evidence at trial with Steve Sadow on behalf of Stern saying in part; “that there was an “abundance of reasonable doubt’ in the case against his client and the doctors, and said prosecutors had trashed Smith ‘as an out-of-control drug addict’ and showed no regard for the chronic pain she suffered for years.”

Ellyn Garofalo, Dr. Kapoor’s attorney, stated in her closing arguments that “Kapoor acted in “good faith” and had a legitimate medical purpose’ in prescribing medications to Anna Nicole Smith. Kapoor is a Hollywood expert with pain management.

Bradley Brunon, of Phil Spector fame, in his closing arguments on behalf of Dr. Eroshevich stated that, “the psychiatrist reached out on an emergency mission’ to help Smith after the former reality television star and Playmate of the year, son died and did what she could to try to help her in a time of crisis.”

Renee Rose Deputy District Attorney, argued that the evidence presented during the nine-week trial showed “that these defendants knew what they were doing was wrong’ and that “they knew their conduct was unlawful.”

Most trial observers agree that the main sticking points are that Kapoor kept a diary with entries that seem to substantiate that he knew something were wrong and that he had drug problems in the past as well. Then there is the fact that Kapoor took Smith’s medical files home and hid them in the bottom of his closet. Rose made a strong argument that showed intent and that Kapoor knew what he was sending to Smith was excessive.

Sadow was successful in getting a lot of the evidence including traveling to the Bahamas with an enormous amount of drugs thrown out. He was also able to turn Ford Shelley from a prosecution witness to a defense witness. Sadow also kept out a large part of the evidence including what appeared to show in part that Eroshevich’s ex-husband had sent wired sum of moneys divided in the names of both Eroshevich and Stern to make it easier to pick up. If the prosecution had been successful at presenting evidence of that it would have gone a long way to prove that Stern knew his name was on some of the prescriptions as well as shore up the conspiracy charges.

The jury has sent only one note to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler during last Thursday’s session asking how Stern could be found guilty of prescribing since he is not a doctor. Judge Fidler’s response was that Stern had “liability — if any’ on the two charges of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance “as an aider and abettor.” Judge Fidler went on to clarify that should the jury find Dr. Kapoor or Dr. Eroshevich not guilty on either of these counts, then they should find defendant Stern not guilty on those same counts, Judge Fidler noted for the jury that the two doctors would have to be convicted on those counts before Stern could be. When asked if that answer the jury’s question the foreperson indicated it had.

Judge Fidler, who many court watchers in the Los Angles area is seen as pro-prosecution judge, was standing in for trial Judge Robert J. Perry, who took an “unscheduled vacation” during the first week of deliberations. Judge Perry had stated multiple times his frustrations that these charges had ever been brought. At one time Judge Perry even told the deputy district attorney it appeared that the state was throwing a lot of charges towards the defendants with hope that some would stick and it appeared like overkill or potential jury abuse to him.

Many of us felt that Sadow had Judge Perry going in the way of sympathy for the defendants when Judge Perry indicated he would be dismissing most of the charges before the case went to the jury only to reverse himself at the last moment and deciding the jury could rule on all of the charges and then he could throw them out after conviction if a conviction occurred. You know it is pretty bad when a sitting judge for over 18 years says this is one of the worse three cases he had sit on as the trial judge.

My feeling is that if the jury does not return with a verdict by Thursday we will find that this is a hung jury. If so will the state be out the money to retry the case after the elections in November including paying another $40k to the two nannies? Even more important is will high profile attorney Steve Sadow appear again pro bono for Stern? Brunson did not represent Spector in his retrial.

If a retrial happens then the defense will have the advantage of knowing what the D. A. will present and the D. A. will not know what the defense will present because of the lack of any defense witness in this trial.

So what are your thoughts, hung jury or just a lot of charges to go through?

Perry, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Superior Court, Phil Spector, Renee Rose, Renee Rose Deputy District Attorney, Steve Sadow Esq., The Bahamas, unlawfully prescribing, Virgie Arthur

The Deputy District Attorney Renee Rose will be the first up this morning for her opening statement on behalf of the state of California. She is expected to touch on the facts that the defendants, Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Drs. Khristine Eroshevich possibly along with uncharged conspirators Anna Nicole Smith and Bonnie Stern fueled Anna Nicole Drug habit. Rose is expected to point out they illegally conspired to provide the actress with drugs.

Deputy District Attorney Renee Rose is expected to outline the state’s case with facts of allegations that the three Stern, Kapoor, and Eroshevich face 23 felony charges, including three counts of conspiracy to dispense and administer controlled substances to a known addict. conspired to use false names to obtain drugs for Smith. Rose is expected to say she will present numerous witnesses testify that Smith was weak and “zombie-like” much of the time in the months after September 11, 2006, when her 20-year-old son, Daniel Smith, died in the Bahamas hospital room where she was recovering from the birth of her daughter, Dannielynn. One of the problems expected to be pointed out is that Stern picked up prescriptions for Smith in his own name that he knew was intended for Smith. There is expectation that Rose will also allege that Stern facilitated fueling drugs into Smith because after the death of Daniel she was easier to handle Smith if those around Smith kept her knocked out. Rose is also expected to make the allegations that Stern used false names to get double doses of dangerous drugs to feed the addiction Anna Nicole Smith.

Those allegations are expected to be countered by Steve Sadow, Stern’s lead defense attorney, by arguing that the use of false names to obtain drugs for Smith was intended to protect the celebrity’s privacy. Sadow had previous stated that “He, [Stern], is being charged doctor-related activities, which doctors have specific knowledge of and he’s just a layperson.”

Dr. Eroshevich’s former lawyer, Adam Bruan told the AP that “One of their theories is that the mere prescribing of medications using a pseudonym is a crime and it’s rebutted by the fact that some of the most respected hospitals in this city use this practice to protect the privacy of some of their celebrity patients.” Dr. Eroshevich’s new attorney, Bradley Brunon, of Phil Spector fame grilled the jurors about their knowledge of prescription drugs, use, family history, the Scientologist church with one of the potential jurors and if the jurors could remain impartial. Brunon is expected to strongly produce evidence that Dr. Eroshevich was first Anna Nicole Smith’s and then after the death of Daniel worked with Stern to wean Smith off of the prescriptions. I look for the good Samaritan defense to be presented also on behalf of Eroshevich.

Ellyn Garofalo Dr. Sandeep Kapoor’s attorney is expected to point out there could be no conspiracy because Kapoor and Eroshevich had never even met before the preliminary hearing last fall. Kapoor’s lawyer has previously stated that prosecutors could make it difficult for California doctors to treat their patients for pain, adding “If this prosecution is successful, you can all plan to call the D.A. office every time you ask your doctor for a prescription for pain, because that’s going to be the standard.”

Judge Robert Perry has agreed in that past that Eroshevich, “deeply cared for Anna Nicole Smith and was well intentioned” with her treatment, “Evidence in the record strongly suggests she, [Smith] was an addict and there was a widespread and ongoing effort to obtain drugs for Smith, whom he characterized as a “strong-willed person” intent on getting drugs. Judge Perry has previously said that the doctors may have been “blinded by the celebrity of their patient.”

Dave Kettel, a former federal prosecutor who handled prescription drug cases, and is now a defense attorney, said the case may be difficult to prove because of the multiple defendants. He said prosecutors could have a hard time showing that the doctors knew they were acting improperly and that one knew what the other was doing. He also said prosecutors may have erred by naming Smith as a coconspirator in the case. “Despite her personal problems, people liked her,” he said. “The last couple years of her life were so sad. I don’t think anyone wants to blame her.”

Another defense lawyer said the case could have a chilling effect on doctors who treat patients for pain, since the doctors could be held criminally liable if their prescriptions are deemed excessive. Sadow argued that Stern should not be charged because he did not know his companion was an addict or that it was illegal to obtain medication with a prescription written out to a false name.

Steven Sadow, the lead lawyer for Howard K. Stern, said the defense team was “very pleased” with the jury of six men and six women who were sworn in Tuesday afternoon.

Lawyers predicted the trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court could last up to three months.

There has also been hints that keeping a low profile that Virgie Arthur will be present daily and sitting on the front row right behind Renee Rose.

The latest potential train wrecks, Da Kardashians — Kim and her BIG sister Kourtney — were exiting a car when some poor photographer got very close, it is being reported. And Kim and BIG sis Kourtney’s security thugs took care of business. What does that mean? Just because the guy has a camera does not make him a “threat,“ as a matter of fact is it not these very same people who made these nobodies somebodies?

The members of our security details are off-duty police and sheriff deputies and above all gentlemen. You can still have “security” and not get sued or arrested, it is called having trained people in place and COMMON SENSE. During the Phil Spectre circus we saw his “security“ team and being that he was so rich it would appear that he had paid by the pound for the two cows in very large suits that accompanied him and his wife to and from the court.

…For Nazarian and Associates, we don’t hire people by how many pounds they weigh but for what they have between their ears: brains. …

And how about this, you don’t want the attention, don’t leak your schedule to the paparazzi and chances are they won’t be there. Ahhhh, that would be too disappointing, no one to take your picture and document how surprised you look. OH NO, but then TMZ would not have you to make comments about on there site. There are dozens of ways to keep from being confronted by the photogs. A perfect example is when Adam Braun and I accompanied a client to be booked for the Anna Nicole [Smith] debacle…there was no photo of her entering the police station, and no photo of her leaving. Also keep in mind that I planned the entire event and the best part NO MUG SHOT! We don’t want to be sued and we don’t want to attack the very people who make us famous, THE PAPARAZZI, these men and women provide a service. For sure there are times when you wish they were not parked in front of your house or apartment. How about this, send for coffee and sandwiches for them while they are camped out and maybe they will give you a break. We use other less pleasant tactics but they are harmless…who can predict a broken hose or sprinklers going off by accident?

When a real threat is in place, get out of the area quickly and use the appropriate force to do that. Having trained professionals will do the trick and you don’t get that for 50 bucks an hour. But if you hire meat to beat people and smack them around and break their cameras, you’ll PAY FOR IT in bail, lawyers and settlements.

Just as the seasons change and summer leaves and fall begins and as we prepare for the Thanksgiving Day holiday Chickie’s Bail Bonds throws one hell of a “High Brow” Gala. She does this every year. Chickie Leventhal, Mitch and Karen throw this party every year with a different theme and it has to cost a king’s ransom. This was a big one as it was her 25th year in the bail business.

The dinner is held at one of the best restaurants in Southern California, Melisse, with chef Josiah Citrin at the stove… …Melisse is a two Michelin Star award-winning contemporary French …did I not say that Chickie is always first class?

So how do you get the invite? Well for us it is simple, DesperateExes.com only supports one bail agency and that is Chickie’s Bail. The reason for us is simple, we are a class act and so are Chickie and her agents… …Now most of the other guests are criminal defense lawyers… …I have attended this event for years and have never spoken to many of the “criminal defense” lawyers… …I “read” people, and when you tell them what you charge per hour I can see… …I could care less as to working with only certain lawyers, as my good friend, Robert M. Cohen, lawyer always tells me, “John, you cannot work for everyone.” Now the guys I do work with in the criminal defense community, such as Adam Braun, Barry Tarlow, Eric Safire, Jeff Sklan and Harland Braun, these guys are the very top shelf of Criminal Defense lawyers…..and once again they are the only group that we at DesperateExes.com will ever refer our clients to.

Well, back to the party, it is always a pleasure to deal with Chickie or Karen or Mitch when they call as it just does not get any better with these good people. And if ever you need a bail agent remember these people please… …they are people of their word and will be there to help.

PS: Just do not leave any valuables in your car when you valet at Melisse. I had something stolen from my car (I looked at it as I was getting out and told the valet to be sure to lock the car, and when I came out I looked again and it was gone). For sure I threw a fit outside before leaving…the manager aka Matthew Greenberg aka Da Maitre D’ told me, “they don’t work for us, “ then gave me his card and told me to call the next day….no Matthew I am not calling, I have a much better idea, you have THIEVES working as “valets,” as do many establishments who want to sell the responsibility of taking care of where you park when you visit a Two Star Michelin-rated eatery…..at Pink’s I park my own car and never in over 30 years have I lost a pencil!

We hope Sprocket will give us her insight as well on the upcoming criminal proceedings in California including Stern, Kapoor and Dr. Khris, as Sprocket said she will try to cover as much as she can with no holds barred and calling and writing as she sees it. We also look forward to Sprocket’s take on other cases.

Our Hollywood Madam sources, thanks for the head’s up and some of the documents and pictures we will be putting up as we cover this story, of Michelle Braun, as it perhaps unravels some of the rich and powerful from coast to coast here in the U. S. and if it stretches to other countries. .

Art Harris, owner of The Bald Truth who trusted me as a confidant and took me under his journalistic “wings” and taught me so much as a teacher, mentor, and friend.

Daniel DiCriscio, the Messiah of Makeovers, who is witty, but also writes some gut wrenching and the kind that makes you cry as he brings us into the world we call Hollyweird. Daniel DiCriscio covers the L. A. Scene for us, and will be covering Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, will be there for the preliminary hearings. Wow two weeks of evidence we have all held our breaths until we see who are the witnesses.

All things Anna Nicole Smith, those intertwining at every corner that put Rose Speaks.com on the map so we could attract writers like John J. Nazarian, Sprocket and Daniel DiCriscio.

Those who have given us Exclusive interviews including:

Pol Atteu’ and Patrik Simpson, who gave us exclusive interviews and insights to their lawsuit they recently won their daughter’s graduation from high school and new things on the horizons for them.

Nathan Collins, who told us the truth about his relationship with Daniel Smith (and no we did not publish it) his frank honesty is something we will go back to as all of the trials continue forward.

But most of all to you the readers, who keep coming back with new ones added weekly. Our thanks whether you post or lurk, you make us all want to just do better, making Rose Speaks.com we hope informative, sharing of intelligent thoughts and ideas on the cases we pick to cover, the cases each of you help us pick with suggestions.

As always, thank you for flying Rose Speaks.com, each of you keep the energy flowing; the enjoyment of legal papers; learning from each other; intelligent thoughts shared with one and all and giving lessons to each new person with one of our mottos, “let google be your friend.”.

My deepest and heartfelt thanks to each of you for just hanging with us through those rough times and coming through them with us making sure we grow in readership and we hope get better because of you, the readers.

2:01 pm: Spector entered and I missed it.

Rachelle is in the front row. A few members of Donte’s family are here it looks like.

2:04 pm: The courtroom is very quiet.

Lana’s counsel arrive along with her family. They are trying to squeeze into the front row. This courtroom is packed to the gills.

Counsel, ready for the judge? (Wendy, Fidler’s clerk.)

Fidler is telling the courtroom he will not tolerate any outbursts. “Please seat the jury and the alternates.”

The jurors enter the courtroom. The alternates are led in from another way.

The last juror enters.

Verdict forms are being handed to the bailiff.

Clerk will read the verdict.

GUILTY 2nd Degree Murder!

Find that he personally used a firearm.

Setting a date for sentencing. Weinberg asking to be still released on bail pending sentencing.

Fidler asks to hear from Jackson. People are asking for immediate remand. “Court has to consider the protection of the public,” Jackson states. He goes onto mention the pattern of violence of the convict. Jackson mentions his prior convictions and the possibility that he now may flee.

Weinberg now pleads for Spector to remain on bail again. Fidler now speaks and explains his pending ruling. He is agreeing with the prosecutions arguments.

The defendant is ordered remanded.

Sentencing Friday May 29th, but Spector has a right to be sentenced before that date. That’s agreeable. That’s the date, at 11 am:
