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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HERE ARE THE THREE LATEST FILINGS:

March 2 , 2011 Motion by Counsel for Susand M. Brown and The Brown Law Firm to Wtithdraw (305)

I have met Mr. L. Lin Wood Jr. briefly in 2009 and I have listened via phone as both Mr. Wood and Mr. Neal McCabe argued Motions in the Harris County Court. However I have never had the privilege of seeing any of these attorneys, L. Lin Wood, Charles “Chip” Babcock, Harry Susman, etc. argue a Motion in person.

For anyone who would like to see L. Lin Wood in a court room this Bryant v. Cox Enterprises video is a must see.

On February 9, 2011 Mr. Wood argued the case of Bryant v. Cox Enterprises in front of the Georgia Appeals Court. The state Court of Appeals’ justices hearing this case is presiding Judge J.D. Smith, who is hearing the case along with Judge Charles B. Mikell and Judge Stephen L. A. Dillard

This case is now the estate of Richard Jewell vs The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Following the death of Mr. Jewell the case became titled Bryant v Cox Enterprises. The official plaintiff in this case is now G. Watson Bryant Jr., Jewell’s former attorney, who was designated executor of Jewell’s estate in his will. Cox Enterprises is the owner of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“I have sought justice for Richard Jewell for 14 years,” Wood told the judges.

Jewell was cleared of the Olympic Park bombing that killed one person and injured more than 100. In 2005, Eric Robert Rudolph confessed to the bombing and was sent to prison for life. Richard Jewell has since died of heart problems from a complication of his diabetes.

The estate of Richard Jewell is continuing to press the late security guard’s libel claims against the newspaper. At issue are stories published in July and August 1996 in which the newspaper reported that authorities suspected Jewell of planting the Olympic park bomb and believed he made an anonymous 911 call warning of an impending bombing. Jewell’s estate also is pressing a libel claim over a column by a Journal-Constitution sports writer that drew parallels between the investigations of Jewell and Wayne Williams, a convicted killer long considered the perpetrator of the Atlanta child murders.

Bryan Cave partner L. Lin Wood Jr., who has pursued the lawsuit against the Journal-Constitution since 1997, told the panel of Court of Appeals judges that statements in the newspaper’s articles were simply false. “We now know that Richard Jewell did not plant the bomb,” he said, saying the same was true for allegations about the 911 call. For those of us who did not follow the case of Richard Jewell and the allegations against him, Wood drew a mental picture during his argument of the horrors of that day before the appeals court including playing the audio of the anonymous 911 call and placing the words of the call on a screen. “You have just heard … the voice of someone you know is a cold-blooded killer,” Wood told the judges.

The newspaper filed a motion for summary judgment in December 1998—a motion on which Fulton County State Court Judge John R. Mather did not rule until late 2006. The appellate court had previously ruled that Jewell was a limited public figure, meaning Jewell had to prove that the newspaper acted with actual malice or reckless disregard of the truth.

Squarely at issue in the appeal heard Wednesday was Mather’s grant of summary judgment to the Journal-Constitution on all but one of Jewell’s libel claims in October 2006. Mather, ruled that the Aug. 4, 1996 story could be libelous because by then the Journal-Constitution had learned Jewell could not have made the 911 call and discovered the bomb moments later because of the distance between the two points.

Jewell’s legal team took the unusual step of all but acquiescing to the grant of summary judgment on that claim on the notion that to have the appellate courts consider Mather’s summary judgment rulings now would make multiple trials less likely. Wood’s decision to go all in with the appellate courts, rather than go to trial on Jewell’s claim over the Aug. 4 story, may mean a trial in the case never happens.

On the Aug. 4 Journal-Constitution story, Justice Smith wanted to know more about the column referencing Williams. Peter C. Canfield of Dow Lohnes, the newspaper’s longtime lead attorney on the case told the judges that the column didn’t say Jewell was guilty and the column suggested that investigators searching his mother’s apartment weren’t finding any evidence. Justice Smith asked, “you’re saying Journal-Constitution copy editors—who testified in depositions that they had expressed concern about the column before it ran—had no reason for concern?” Canfield responded that “Their concern was fairness, not falsity.”

On rebuttal, Wood said the copy editors said the column was libelous because of the comparison with Williams. And Wood took umbrage at Canfield’s previous suggestions that Jewell’s side has litigated the case with an eye more to the media and movie deals than having the case resolved on the merits.

If you have not seen the brief video of the Anna Nicole Smith Opera that has sold out all six performances in London at the Royal London Opera and is receiving good reviews I suggest viewing that short video.

I have also updated the Michael Jackson’s downloads so be sure and browse through those papers.

On February 16, 2011 the South Carolina Court issued an Order and Opinion denying Susan M. Brown’s request to dismiss the suit in regards to her personally and her law firm. The court docket shows jury selection is to begin on February 22, 2011 for that case.

Once in a great while the veil of attorney’s fees are exposed so everyone can see what the best of the best charges.

We saw that when Jackson and Walker filed for Sanctions against Virgie Arthur in the Texas state Court. We heard it in the transcript of a hearing in that case when L. Lin Wood said his client, Howard K. Stern had a bill of $1,000,000.00, [yes one MILLION dollars], for attorneys fees to fight the two large suits in Houston, Texas Stern became entangled in with Arthur.

In the bill submitted per Court Order in the South Carolina Federal Court of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley and Susan M. Brown Esq., we again have the opportunity to have a look behind the veil of billing by attorneys in high profile cases.

Frankly I am surprise that L. Lin Wood only charges $400.00 an hour, after all he is the best at what he does. NOTE AND CORRECTION: L. Lin Wood’s fee is closer to $815.00 per hour in most cases unless as with this case in which Bryan Cave has a “Hybrid fee basis” contract the fee is almost $1,000 per hour. I stand corrected and that is more in sync with what I thought “he should be paid”. I remember saying during my deposition that I was surrounded by thousand dollar an hour lawyers. I was wrong with that many attorneys and paralegals present I should have said about three thousand dollar an hour lawyers.

This also gives us a clear insight into what one of Wood’s client’s, Richard Jewell, said that he did not get that much money from the settled lawsuits but it was not about money to him it was about clearing his name.

Then there is ALL of the expenses of lawyers like Wood and his entourage of Nicole Jennings Wade and Luke Lantta for traveling, preparing filings, preparing for a hearing or deposition, the time spent at a hearing or deposition and even the transcripts. That plus the percentage, which is usually at least 1/3 of the settlement of a suit but can go as high as 50% of a settlement and then the “expenses incurred” and you see why lawyers walk away with most of the money.

That said, if you were Richard Jewell, John and the late Patsy Ramsey, or Howard K. Stern how much would it be worth to you for L. Lin Wood to restore your good name?

Some of these lawyers have what I call a God complex because of the mega bucks they make, however I never saw that in the depositions and hearings I was part of where Wood also participated. He is a southern gentleman but he also drives a $220k+ car and can be a mean fighting machine on behalf of his clients.

I will be writing a biography on Wood and what his previous clients got in some settlements, was it worth it to them and who is L. Lin Wood. I have done a lot of research and hope you will come back and read that later this week. Yes I will be asking Mr. Wood for a on the record statement about this unauthorized biography and his previous clients feelings about this mega lawyer.

Here are the papers filed by Bryan Cave last week.

So many of us have lost very close family and friends over the past year. That always makes these first holidays horrid. As Heath said to me when Ken and I lost someone that was the foundation of our family: “If you can’t cry for someone you love, then who can you cry for?” Those are very wise words for all of our members as well as Ken and me as we get through this first holiday without our love ones.

I told Ken I wanted to get up early this morning and watch the Macy New York Thanksgiving Parade. That is how the holiday of my youth were all about. My dad and I got up and watch the parade as my mom cooked. Such wonderful smells filled the house every Thanksgiving. I have to say I was disappointed in the Parade, it is not what I remember from my youth. Way back then there were high school bands and college bands that had auditioned, picked to appear and then worked hard to get the money to go to New York. It was wonderful to see those kids so excited and it put excitement in our home as well as we discussed who was the best. Gone are those and the floats for the most part all replaced by very commercial, planned acts and those horrid big balloons. I told Ken today the only thing that remained as I remember it was the last float as Santa arrived. I wish we had those old fashion parades again. Needless to say I will sleep in next year… LOL

The parade was followed by a lot of good eats and then the Dallas Cowboys who still plays every Thanksgiving Day. I have always said that becoming a football fan was not optional in my home, if you did not watch football then there was nothing to do after the feast but be bored the rest of the day. My dad and my brother would sit there and watch and cheer, discussing every play. I learned all I know about football being with my dad and brother. In fact I got pretty good, when my son became a teenager he turned to my husband and said; “Dad what is a shot gun and wishbone formations”? His dad had to tell him; “Ask mom she will know.” Yes I did know, what wonderful memories of people who are now gone.

Ken and I wish for each of you a safe and wonderful holiday, and like us remember those who are no longer with us and shed a tear at the loss in your life, Ken and I will today. However, also remember the memories you have, not everyone has those great memories, so in that we are lucky as many of you are lucky.

Remember our service men and women so far from home and pray by next year they will be safe with their families for Thanksgiving dinner.

We also wish an exciting new adventure for Jay Patton of Bryan Cave and Neil McCabe of the O’Quinn Law Firm as they leave those firms begin new journeys and new endeavors. We hope both of them find something they love and thrive at in the year to come.

Surround yourself today with family and good friends and have a great day, lots of goodies to eat. Ken has been cooking for two days and the smells from the kitchen reminds me of long ago days and my family and those memories I made. The most important thing is remember those we have loss in the last year and with the tears, remember the good times, as Ken and I will do. In closing, how about those Cowboys?

Emotions ran from “shell shocked and exhilarated” to “serious”

All three charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors must be sleeping better tonight know what they now have to deal with.

Dr. Kapoor said it best when he said; “This is really a victory not just for me, but it is a victory for patients everywhere in our nation who suffer chronic pain, and physicians who treat difficult chronic pain every day.”

Howard K. Stern was found guilty of “two felony conspiracy charges of conspiring to use false names to get prescription drugs for Anna Nicole Smith, Stern convictions were “aiding and abetting” by allowing Dr. Khristine Eroshevich to put his name on prescriptions for Smith. Stern was acquitted on seven of the nine counts he faced. Stern issued one statement and then referred all future inquiries to his lead attorney Steve Sadow. Stern’s statement said; “These were all the counts related to whether the medications were for a legitimate medical purpose or for whether Anna Nicole was an addict. What the jury did find me guilty of were two conspiracy counts limited exclusively to my name being used on medications for Anna. This was done to protect Anna Nicole’s privacy and it was nothing more than that.” In a statement issued by Steve Sadow he clarified his clients two counts conviction by saying; “…that the conspiracy conviction for his client was for Stern having given his consent to Eroshevich to use Stern’s name on prescriptions intended for Smith.

Dr. Khristine Eroshevich was found guilty of four felonies of “conspiring to use false names to get prescription drugs” for Anna Nicole Smith. Two of the charges were related to using Stern’s name on prescriptions, the other two counts were for using another woman’s name to write the prescriptions for Smith. Eroshevich said she “felt good, despite the conviction because she was prepared for the jury’s decision.” The jury was deadlocked on two additional charges of illegally obtaining controlled substances for an addict. The state could choose to retry Eroshevich on those two charges but I personally do not think that will happen.

The jury failed to convict any of the defendants of providing drugs to a known addict, which was the “linchpin” of the prosecution’s case. So who won and who lost?

Remember that Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert Perry hinted before the verdicts were returned that if any defendants were found guilty, he would consider “possible selective prosecution issues” when sentencing them. He would have the power to reduce most of the felony charges to misdemeanors.

In an exclusive statement to Rose Speaks John J. Nazarian P. I to the rich and famous and who had worked on this case at times for two of the defendants said; “Little surprise that Kapoor walked, but not that surprise as to Dr. Khris and Howard K. Stern, juries can convict on looks and attitude.”

In an exclusive statement to Rose Speaks, Steve Sadow told us “that no one should feel sick. The only thing Howard was found guilty of was agreeing to let meds be prescribed to Anna in Howard’s name. The two conspiracies will merge now. We are still very hopeful the judge will dismiss the remaining charge.”

We also contacted Neil McCabe, the previous attorney for Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur and he told Rose Speaks in a statement that; “My opinion, [McCabe’s], does not matter, but I cannot say that I am disappointed. Mrs. Arthur would like to see what sentence will be imposed.”

The most serious thing that Stern and Eroshevich appear to be worried about based on the previous arguments during Motions to Dismiss is would Stern be disbarred and would Eroshevich lose her medical license. As convicted felons now it was unclear what would happen in that regards between now and January 6, when both Stern and Eroshevich appears before Judge Perry to be sentenced. I also wonder and would not be surprise if for the next few months that Ron Rale steps in as the Executor of Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate since there is pending action in the U. S. Supreme Court regarding Smith’s Estate.

Being optimistic the D. A. office said that both Stern and Eroshevich could each face three years in prison. Again personally I serious doubt either will ever see the inside of a cell in prison.

What do we do as the cases involving Anna Nicole Smith fade into the sunset where they belong? Folks while it might appear nothing is happening here on the site there are a lot of exciting things happening behind the scenes.

We will NOT be covering any child murders (I. E. Casey Anthony or Haleigh Cummings cases). We will have links to the sites we like the best for updates, but I just can’t write about missing and murdered children.

We will be listening to all of our readers about new cases, see the “contact Us” link at the top of the page and that will be included also in all future articles.

Right now we have the following cases:

1. All Things Anna Nicole Smith: That will be until the end of the criminal trial of Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich; the South Carolina Suit of the Estate vs. Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Susan M. Brown, etc. In fact see the calendar in that a status report is due this Wednesday September 22, 2010 on the Motion for Sanctions; the Appeals court on the Estate vs. Marshall and keeping up with the Supreme Court starting when they announce the cases they are taking next month.

2. All Things Michael Jackson: This will include the criminal case, the probate and associated cases with the Estate, Joe Jackson’s civil suit in federal court and Katherine Jackson civil suit on behalf of the Estate and Jackson’s children in the Los Angeles state Court.

3. The Cynthia Sommer case in federal Court and things going on in the San Diego D. A. office, Bonnie Dumanis, which has some strange occurrences in what appears to be a trend that I can only describe as witch hunts.

4. Any and all Defamation cases that draws our attention as in right now it is L. Lin Wood and his client Jeff Greene in Florida.

5. The Nancy Grace case heading to a jury trial in October 2010 that involves the tragic suicide of a mother, Melinda Duckett, and the question of did Nancy Grace pushing her in an interview caused the woman to commit suicide and more importantly did it close the door to law enforcement and their investigation?

7. The Nancy Novack murder case that involves millions of dollars and the “accidental death” of her mother-in-law, Bernice Novack, in Florida and then the brutal murder of her husband, Ben Novack Jr., in New York, with questions about why it took the federal government using a little known across state lines domestic violence law to finally get Nancy Novack and her accomplishes including now what appears to be a plot to kill a witness.

8. The Honorable Sharon Keller here in Texas, which is going before a new panel of judges today on her public warning for not following execution day policies, the “misplacing and forgetting over 2 million dollars of assets and now the legislature announced intention of impeaching her.

There are several others we are looking at but if any of the readers know of a good one, preferably just beginning, in filing of court papers let us know, we accept all tips and keep them confidential.

The Member only Forums is are NOT accepting any new memberships, however we are going to be opening up a new “Community” ran by Diamond Girl that will be easier to join and have a lot of discussions on a lot of cases. We have been working with her for several weeks as we develop that. We hope that will be a very busy community with a chance to the members to have good debates.

We are also working on a permanent document download area for court documents on all cases and that will be up this week with the first listings of documents probably starting with All things Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith.

We will still have our featured guest columnists John J. Nazarian and Daniel DiCriscio and hope now others will write for us as cases they are interested in began.

There are a lot of new happenings at Rose Speaks. We do thank all of you for staying with us as readers and/or posters for the last 3 years that we have been around and hope you are around for the new cases as they come along.

So stay tune, we think a lot will be happening this week and the weeks to come. There are a lot of changes behind the scenes but we hope you will enjoy the finished site and the new directions we are heading.
