I want to say first and foremost, I don’t ever want to read a slam against the Texas Courts again (just kidding) but WOW!!! For those who live in California is this Jury Questionnaire typical? This is the first of 3 steps to get on the jury of the Dr. Sandepp Kapoor, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Howard K. Stern in Judge Robert J. Perry court.

We read through it last night, laughed but also felt like this pool of potential jurors should feel violated.

Rule One: “You can not write on the back or add extra pages”, but how are you suppose to pass along the gossip about friends and what you really think of them? I have had a murder in my family of a cousin and her daughter over child custody, how can you explain all of that and my Aunt’s feelings in 2 lines, including the father died in California but the murders and custody was in Texas? How are you suppose to tell about picking up prescriptions, calling for an antibiotic for you or a child to save an office visit fee. How are you suppose to tell about the friend who is a nurse and said that phobias of hospitals is a good thing and not something you wanted to get over, and then proceeded to tell about huge potential fatal mistakes doctors made that the nurses had to correct or the patient would have died? How do you talk about the nurse you know who works for a plastic surgeon and the tales you heard, which may or may not have been true? How do you say in two lines about patients MUST be proactive in their care and hell yes, at my age I fire stupid doctors to their face.

Yea some cops are honest, some are not and then you have the cops who commit perjury, [remember that cop in the OJ case], and of course some cops are down right sexy. How do you explain a huge cover up of a murder not by the D. A. but by cops covering for cops and that “blue line”. How many of us watch CSI, Law and Order, the ID channel? How do you explain that any one that keeps up with the news just in California knows about the horror that happened to Cynthia Summers? How do you say that once convicted even if your opinion on hind sight you found that D. A.s are more worried about conviction rates and fighting to not overturn convictions even when clear evidence later were shown that cleared the wrongly convicted?

I don’t watch Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, Extra, TMZ or Fox infotainment news. But if you are even a semi intelligent news watcher, not mention the last week of news cycle about a right wing propaganda site putting up what they knew was an edited video to pull the scab off of racial fears for “page views” or “hits”?

How many of you d have favorite blogs, have a Face Book Account, a My Space, Twitter? Not to mention that for some reason LinkedIN was not listed and was it left off because it is a social media from professionals to network. Then you get into Google Alerts. How many get their news on the run in this busy world via a laptop computer or online reputable news like the AP online?

Then you get down to everything on this questionnaire becomes public record with ONLY your name protected? Is California going to pay your legal expenses when that neighbor, friend, family member, nurse who ever sues you in a Civil Court for running your mouth about them and medications, illnesses, legal problems and you just shared their life?

I was going to fill out this form in the worse type of joke, of spouse, the squeeze on the side, the lover, doctor, lawyer , Indian chief and there is not enough room so can I call home. I got to page four and said F – this.

Ken asked me who drafted this questionnaire that could not spell website [cite] correctly. I said usually the defense and D. A. fills out a wish list that the judge “rules on”, but this looks like a judge decided to take that large latitude they get in their courts because of that black robe. I wish we knew who suggested these questions and then how much did the judge impose because of his personal views?

Then once you get through this giant invasion of not only your privacy rights, but everyone you know; you get to go through a bankrupt California state doing a background check and we still don’t know if that is from speeding tickets, forgetting to pick up your dog’s poop, or something serious. If you get through both of these then you get to go threw jury Voir Dire, where the attorneys get at you hoping the court dismisses you, or the other side does so you don’t have to use one of your “precious strikes”. Not to mention as I said the extreme right wing Bible Thumpers, holier than thou or good cons will get in and a lot of good juror potentials will strike out. It is little comfort for you, your family and friends they want to know about is: “Remember: Questions are not asked to embarrass you. They are intended to make sure members of the jury have no opinions or past experiences which might prevent them from making an impartial decision.”

Here is a Jury Questionnaire from a federal court for a murder trial that involved a crime family.

My questions is that can this jury pool get through this first part, then the background check and then the Jury Voir Dire on August 2 and August 3 by the assistant D. A. and the defense attorneys and be ready to be impaneled for Opening Arguments on August 4, 2010.

Do yo think this is going to end up with the Fox Infotainment News Crowd, the Bible Thumpers, the holy then thou crowd and just those who con to get on a jury or is this a real attempt to get a “fair jury” of “one’s peers”? Share your thoughts with us.

I was sent a link to began to research on a federal case of Murder that goes from Broward County Florida, Dr. Perper all the way to New York that it appears reads like a suspense novel and how it took the federal government stepping in since the murders were related but in two different states. It looks interesting to me wtih more twists and turns then the cases surrounding Anna Nicole Smith and since it has some of the people in common with it to the Smith cases I think we would like to cover it as well as All things Micheal Jackson and the Cynthia Sommer’s federal case.

The latest one is suppose to be of the Phil Specter “fame”, Bradley Brunon, and we all know how that ended up for Specter, but when Brunon represented Specter, the first go around he was able to get a hung jury for Specter. That said our independent source said; “Bradley Brunon, you may know that name from Phil Spector’s first trial and he certainly is an excellent, very accomplished, veteran defense attorney”.

July 12, 2010 Howard K. Stern’s Notice of Unavailability for ANY hearings any party sets that he=lawyers for him also or for trial from August 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010. Yes this will cause all of the discovery hearings that Stern’s attorneys have to be present, depositions, and will move the trial back to probably close to the end of the year. Stern’s lawyers are going through the August 6, 2010 hearing so if his Special Appearance is granted he will be gone. My feeling is that since the articles were read in Texas like the federal court found in that suit, Stern will probably lose this, let’s hope not though.

Howard K. Stern’s Motion to consolidate cases for the alleged defamation and conspiracy and the Breach of Contract case. I am not sure what the statue is on this and will look up what is quoted. I can see the Court handling BOTH cases and allowing the discovery to go for both cases to conserve resources, however Stern already has set for August 6, 2010 as part of the hearing the very Rule 11 Agreement that this breach of contract is regarding. I guess this was a housekeeping Motion to get the same court I am not sure though if you can consolidate one case with 2 parties into a different case with multiple parties.

July 12, 2010 Howard K. Stern Submission ONLY for the Motions filed today to be set for July 26, 2010. Since Arthur did not agree to the Motions, I would think her response will ask for a hearing which will bring everything to a halt until the fall on this Texas case for discovery hearings, and depositions.

Chirstopher Smith Esq., Judge Larry Weiman, L.

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.

July 1, 2010 First Court of Appeals issued a new opinion, denied Arthur’s request for a rehearing, corrected the original opinion issued in April 2010. The court has granted Harris Motion for Mandamus for the three Orders to Compel. It appears to me on first glance that the Court has now extended In Re. Weekley Homes to cover appointing a Special Master in cases such as this. Which IMO is good and should continue to be expanded in Texas.

July 1, 2010 Virgie Arthur’s SurReply with exhibits attached to Howard K Stern’s’ Motion to Quash and for a Protective Order, the Reply says Stern had been served with the new lawsuit but has not reply… I think and would have to look it up that he has 21 days to reply and if the information that Arthur is depending on says he was served on June 18 then I think his answer is not due until July 9 (21 days later). It does have an interesting implication on the Cosby lawsuit settlement.

July 1, 2010 Art Harris Notice of SUBMISSION ONLY OF THIS MOTION FOR JULY 12, MOTIONS TO COMPEL ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SET FOR A HEARING. One has to wonder why Harris’ attorneys wanted all of this up for the public once again right before a long holiday weekend.

A brief few comments, lawyers can put anything they want to in a filing even if they know it is false at the time. They are covered by judicial immunity with filings and in a courtroom as just gamesmanship and being a fierce advocate for their client.

Ms. Hamilton is well aware of the truth and what she is saying here is out and out BS.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Some of the defendants need to say “Ms. Turner was honest 2 years ago and she is honest in this deposition”, and obviously it is in Art Harris’ best interest to say Ken and I have been paid off, that Ken is an “email drop” for communications between Virgie Arthur, her family lawyers etc. when the deposition clearly shows I have never had any communication with any of the main parties in this lawsuit except for Larry Birkhead. I remember at the beginning of these lawsuits the Plaintiff’s attorney accused Ken of being an “email drop” only for the evidence to show how false that was. However we are merely collateral damage in this free for all it appears.

Our bank account sure does not reflect any payoffs or bribes Ken and I have received and the whole deposition as Lin Wood said in a filing will show something completely different. That goes double for what Jackson and Walker feels the need to say about Ken and me right now.

Some times the best defense if your client is in trouble is to go on a strong offense against another party and call it just “advocating”, sadly lawyers do not have to prove things they say in filings, nor can the person being defamed and once again being accused of illegal activities have any recourse for an attorney doing just that.

Like I have said before Mr. Babcock and his wife, Ms. Hamilton, wear the hire gun label with pride, it is all about business and little about truth.

I have redacted those things said that should be covered by the Agreed Protective Order AGAIN, as I have redacted personal information of witnesses and parties to this suit. Ken and I would never want someone else to go through what we have since our address and phone number was made public over 2 years ago. That said, we can not do anything about Harris’ counsel filing this as pubic information on the Harris County Clerk of Court website.
