As Rose and I have said many times, thanks for flying Rose Speaks, we enjoy every minute of it.
Ken, Rose and all of your overworked moderators/admins.
Howard K. Stern has moved up his arraignment date to April 7, the same day as Dr. Khristine Eroshevich is scheduled to be arraigned. This is good news, in my opinion, as the two defense teams might be able to help each other prepare and go through all of the evidence Danny Santiago and unnamed investigators accumulated in just a tad over two years including the lists and statements of everyone Mr. Santiago and/or others interviewed.
Then there will be the preliminary hearing within 10 court days to “show probable cause”, (since this was a Warrant and not a grand jury indictment the defense teams get a lot more lead way in the preliminary hearing), which will be on or no later than April 22. This hearing must not be later than ten court days after the arraignment per California statute.
The prosecutor must prove all charges and conduct enhancements against the defendants at the preliminary hearing. Howard K. Stern’s legal team, led by Steven H. Sadow of Atlanta Georgia, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich’s attorney, Adam Braun, will get to cross examine any witnesses and challenge the evidence against either of them at this hearing. The defense team can also file motions to suppress evidence against either of them, remember after the April 7 hearing will be the first time either defendants’ defense team will be granted full access to all of the evidence. However at the preliminary hearing both defendants’ legal team are restricted by Penal Code section 866. The legal teams are only allowed to put on evidence that will establish an affirmative defense, negate an element of the crime charged (I. E. intent for a crime as is charged in this case), and they will also be allowed to impeach the testimony of witnesses.
If the judge determines that the prosecution has presented sufficient evidence to hold both Stern and Dr. Eroshevich, the threshold is not like that at a trial it is much lower for the judge, for trial, following the arraignment and preliminary hearing the judges in California criminal courts normally will then order both to appear for a “second arraignment” on a charging document known as an “information.” That arraignment must occur within 15 days of the conclusion of their preliminary hearing which would be on or before May 7.
Stern and Dr. Eroshevich can ask for a “speedy trial”, which must begin within 60 calendar days from the second arraignment date “document of information hearing”, which would be by July 7, 2009.
It seems to me both want to get this started so their defense teams with their investigators, we don’t know the names of Stern’s investigators, but Dr. Eroshevich’s investigators will be headed up by John J. Nazarian P. I. and his firm Nazarian and Associates, can begin to research the witnesses, interview them, find out who all the state investigators (Danny Santiago) has talked to and all records looked at that were included in the sworn statement of Mr. Santiago used when obtaining the warrants for arrests issued on March 12.
In other news Howard K. Stern won his hearing against Mark Speer on Friday March 27, and so that defamation case is going forward with discovery beginning now. I would think this hearing and beating the “anti slapp” statute of California is a big win and will strengthen Stern’s suit against Rita Cosby and Hachette Books.
It looks like it is going to be a busy spring and summer. We have new Casey Anthony papers up as well including the transcript of the interview with the private investigator, Dominic Casey whom worked for the George and Cindy Anthony family. There are the statements of Roy Kronk and Mr. Hoover the photographer that was in the area and filmed Mr. Casey in November 2008 in the same location where Caylee’s remains were later found. We will try to have all of these coded for you to download later today.
There are also new filings in the Roland Carnaby case that needs to be coded in and then you can look at some of the people listed as witnesses in the civil rights violation trial including the ex-president, the first President Bush.
Lastly, we are waiting on the Phil Spector trial verdict as well, that case was given to the jury on March 26, and we look forward to Sprocket’s coverage of the verdict when it comes in.
Lot’s of papers to read and lots of trials to follow. We look forward to your input on these cases with good discussions of the facts and documents.

ET reported yesterday that Atlanta Georgia Criminal power house attorney, Steven H. Sadow will lead the criminal defense for Howard K. Stern in the California felony charges Mr. Stern is facing. In an interview with ET Online Steven H. Sadow stated; “Despite Mr. Stern’s lack of financial resources, I welcome the opportunity to travel across the country to lead this defense team of professionals dedicated to the representation of an innocent man. This unjust prosecution threatens not only Mr. Stern, it also threatens physician-patient relationships and the efforts of individuals to assist loved ones, particularly celebrities, in protecting their privacy while receiving medical care and treatment ordered by their physicians.”
Although Mr. Sadow will take the lead of the team, defense attorney J. Christopher Smith of Los Angeles, California as well as Civil litigators L. Lin Wood of Atlanta, Georgia and Mrs. Mary Krista Barth of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida will be assisting in the defense of Howard K. Stern.
Mrs. Mary Barth is the one that went around the globe this past week on TMZ courtesy of one of the you tube sites showing Mrs. Barth being seen out with a group of people having a great time. Larry Birkhead was also in her group of friends enjoying themselves. Wonder what Mary Barth had to celebrate this past weekend? We can only hope it is something good for her client, Mr. Stern. I do wonder though why any lawyer would be caught on camera at a known paparazzi hang out, just days after a client she has stood by so gallantly for over 2 years had the worse thing to happen since the death of Anna Nicole and Daniel Smith.
Nazarian and Associates, led by John J. Nazarian P. I. had been retained by Howard K. Stern’s California criminal defense team led by J Christopher Smith just recently, as well as Dr. Khristine Eroshevich legal team led by Adam Braun following the arrest of Howard K. Stern. Rumor has it that Nazarian and Associates had been representing Mr. Stern at a reduced rate the past two years, but Mr. Nazarian had the standard “No Comment” when we asked him today. Mr. Nazarian however did confirm he will continue to work with Adam Braun to clear Dr. Eroshevich.
What ever the reason John J. Nazarian and Nazarian and Associates resigned yesterday from representing Howard K. Stern in any matters related to his multiple jurisdictions civil cases as well as his felony case pending in California.
The good news for us is that perhaps Mr. Nazarian can now begin to attend some of the hearings and share his thoughts with us as well as his perspective on these people who most of us will never meet but for some reason we have become enthralled with all things Anna Nicole Smith for the last 2+ years.
I can think of a few more high profile cases I would like to ask Mr. Nazarian’s take as a P. I. on those, like Casey Anthony, and Roland Carnaby to just name two cases we are watching.
To Read Mr. Nazarian’s public statement, called “Exiting the Bull Ride” visit his site:

In what is becoming more of a how she looks and acts versus the evidence or lack thereof, it gives us all time to pause and wonder why? Is Casey Anthony going to be convicted because the public does not like her?
The duct tape had no finger prints, and hundreds of thousands of homes has the same brand of duct tape, perhaps including your home. The only matching duct tape found at the Anthony’s home was a small piece on a can of gasoline in an outside shed. My husband tells me this is very common in most of our homes especially because you mix oil with gasoline for almost anything you use in the yard, from lawn mowers, to weed eaters to chain saws, but if you put that same combination of mixture in your car, there would be a serious problem. So does that one strip of duct tape added to no finger prints on the duct tape surrounding this poor child skull equate to murder?
Then you have the air analysis on the car, the first place it was sent to in Florida, that the Sheriff’s department picked came back negative. Not to be deterred the Orange county Sheriff’s department sent a sample to the Tennessee body farm where the ORNL is located nearby, which trains law enforcement and almost always testifies for the prosecution and never for a defendant found something, or did they? Viola, you have a report of decomposition in the car! However even the body farm says it is better stated as “It Could be that”. Something most scientists are now referring to “junk science”, [full press release], but because we don’t like how Casey Anthony looks and acts is that enough to convict her of murder?
There is now the infamous unfeeling June 21st entry in Casey’s diary, nothing but a cold blooded parent could have written that just days after their daughter had disappeared but that ends up not being 2008 but from a 2003 Diary entry. By the way who leaked that to the media and why did Nancy Grace cover that up from her viewers at first? So is the diary entry now proved bogus enough to convict Casey Anthony or will she be convicted because she did not act right and we don’t like her looks?
Roy Kronk, not exactly the hero we all thought he was when we found out he is a dead beat dad, being looked for by the Maryland state child support enforcement agency. Kronk turned over $5,000.00 of the $7,000.00 allegedly paid to him by ABC for the rattlesnake picture and says that Maryland can garnish his wages in Florida for the rest of the over $10,000.00 he still owes his children. With Roy Kronk we have the new facts that the first two times he called in the black bag with the white “skull” or something that looked like a human skull, he was with two friends, fellow workers with him when he made the “gruesome discovery”. Roy Kronk made this discovery of the black bag with the skull on his first day on that particular route. Per the Orange County Sheriff report dated February 5, these three guys were even talking on that 11th day of August 2008 about where would Casey dumped the body of her daughter. Roy admits “he and his friends were talking about the theory of where Casey may have disposed of Caylee since this was a high profile news story and they were around the corner from the Anthony’s residence.” Kronk did not say, “Could a missing child be in those woods”, it was did “Casey disposed of her daughter, Caylee Anthony’s remains” from day one, it appears by Kronk’s statements. Roy Kronk became fascinated with the black bag and the human skull. Two of his fellow meter readers were with him, see page 7-9 on report of the interviews], one remembers Roy pointing out the black bag and saying “Hey look there is a human skull there”, but that man did not see the black bag and the skull that Roy was pointing to and after they found and killed the rattlesnake, the snake became the focus of these three guys conversation and the human skull and the black bag was forgotten over the excitement of a rattlesnake. One of the guys took it, the now dead rattlesnake, home and put it in the freezer. Neither of them remembers Roy Kronk calling the sheriff’s office both days. You would think a black bag with a human skull in plain site might have the possibility that it would stick in your mind if your fellow worker thought it was serious enough to make three reports on it in three consecutive days. Perhaps though the trophy of a rattlesnake was more important then the black bag that Roy could see with what looked like a human skull. On the third call Kronk was alone, and a sheriff’s deputy came out and spent 25 minutes talking to Kronk and walking the area of the black bag with the human skull visible to Roy, but saw nothing and noted that the area had been previously searched and “cleared”. That deputy has now been reassigned.
Thank God Roy Kronk would not be deterred from the nagging black bag with the human skull and so he went back on December 11 for a fourth time and found the remains of Caylee Anthony exactly and unmoved from where he first viewed the black bag with the skull on August 11. Roy Kronk found what no search team, no homeless person sleeping there during the many months it was dry before and after Caylee Anthony disappeared, nor the kids that use that area as a well known “party place”.
How much more those remains could have told the Medical Examiner in August then they could in December. Oh and in case you didn’t read the documents Kronk at first if you remember said he picked up the black bag or poked it with a meter reader stick and out falling to the ground was the gruesome skull, only that is not quite what happened. The sheriff’s department had to go back to interview Kronk and “straighten up his faulty memory” because there was no way that skull rolled out of that black bag on that December day as Roy recounted many times, why you ask, because it had made an indention on the dirt where it had laid. Wonder if Kronk will be called as a witness now? However, back to our questions, we like Kronk so a couple of lies from him is no big deal, right, but we don’t like the way Casey Anthony looks or how she acts so will we convict her?
Most of us learned along the way about the “black prince” as Court TV nicknamed Howard K. Stern, he did not look right, people didn’t like the way he looked or acted so he had to be guilty of something right? We all know by now that all Howard K. Stern was and will ever be found guilty of is useful fodder for cable 24/7 “infotainment” passed off as cable news. Just one more life ruined for the advertising dollar and the ratings game. Sadly the Anna Nicole Smith story is old news, I sincerely hope that Howard K. Stern takes Rita Cosby all the way to trial, it will never give him his good name back but it will lay bare the naked truth for all of those who labeled him because they just did not like how he looks and the world might learn a tad more about 24 hours “infotainment” passed off as cable news.
However, Howard K. Stern is last year’s bottom line fodder for these hungry sharks that spin they have the truth every night for nothing more than mere advertising dollars and ratings so it is time for “them” to move on and put Casey Anthony under that same microscope of that same infotainment cable news.
I have no way of knowing if Casey Anthony is innocent of her child’s death or not, but I know she has been convicted and made ready for a public hanging for no more then ratings. Will we convict her because we don’t like the way she looks or acts? However, like rabid frothing dogs or people demanding a kill at Rome’s Coliseum from thousands of years ago, can we change and look beyond what is fed us for ratings? God I hope so.
Visit the Rose Speaks tube tube channel and watch again ALL of the videos about the Anthony case and think real hard might she be convicted not on facts, but by a public so fed infotainment that we simply do not like the way she looks or acts?
Pick up the papers on the Casey Anthony case in our download section, broken down in sections and interviews in easier to understand pieces we hope. The download section is opened to All not just members of Rose Speaks.com. Please take the time to do your own research and don’t bite the apple of the infotainment industry, they views lives as expendable for ratings.

In the ever swirling of tabloid infotainment passed off as news, did Casey Anthony murder her child, Caylee Anthony? We are going to be looking at some hard evidence from the FBI and the CSI about what was found and what it means.
As Geraldo says, the jail house videos are a disgraced and a way to try to get around having Casey Anthony’s lawyer present, yes I am agreeing with Geraldo again.
Greta Van Susteren goes through the crime scene AGAIN, on her show Greta - On the Record, but recorded information via documented reports shows that spot was searched in detail at least 7-9 times before the remains were found. Why did no one spot them then and retrieve them before more evidence could be lost?
Greta Van Susteren interviews both Dr. Baden and Mark Fuhrman about the case and why if the bag had been there since June 2008 were all of the remains and other items still intact. Greta brings out that there are rodents, raccoons, etc. all which creates havoc for people who have their garbage in air tight bags and in a trash can that is sealed and still raccoons get into the trash and spread it in the neighborhood. I don’t watch Greta but her walk through the area and the interviews with the questions is something I hope we see more of in the twenty hour infotainment passed as news.
Casey Anthony’s legal teams have some words about how the case is being handled. My question is if the D. A. has a tight sure thing circumstantial evidence case then why try it in the media knowing they are tainting a jury pool, not only from anywhere in Florida but anywhere in the U. S.?
Later today there will be a new article up debunking the myths of the talking pundits with the actual FBI and CSI reports. They paint a much different picture then what is being spun in the infotainment world. Some of the hints we will have documented statements that question these reasoning, involves Casey Anthony’s car and the evidence showing a decomposing body was in the trunk; the duct tape found around the skull and at the home of George and Cindy Anthony’s home; the diary entry claiming to be Casey’s and dated right after the disappearance of Caylee Anthony; and the heart found on the duct tape and in the home of the Anthony’s. We try to deal in facts here not spin.
We are loading the latest FBI and CSI reports to day so we can make reference to them in our next article; we feel you might be surprised between what is hype and what is factual.
It is great to have a site with intelligent bloggers who will look at the hard evidence and then comment and not follow the “sheep mentality crowd” whom never research but just assume that infotainment is the truth. The ole if it is on Nancy Grace, Geraldo or Greta then it must be true. We have all learned the fallacy of that by following the attempted lynching of Howard K. Stern.
Stay tuned for two more articles today, both debunking cases that have taken on lives of their own in the world of ratings equal advertising dollars equals talking pundits on infotainment spreading their word as the absolute truth.
We will also have another article on the filings by Howard K. Stern with more of the excerpts of the deposition of the four filed in error for nine hours by Rita Cosby’s attorney, Elizabeth McNamara.
Remember the documents relating to the Casey Anthony case is opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.
Rose Speaks.com also now has it’s own you tube channel be sure and visit it for videos on a lot of the cases we cover, that old saying a picture is worth a thousand words. We try to bring you the pictures, documents and words.

We hope you are enjoying the new forums format. It will give all of you a lot of new features and the ability to start your own threads, have avatars you pick, etc. Never fear though the members only forums will remain in tact for all of you regular posters.
We are currently following the Casey Anthony Case, Roland Carnaby Case, and the Stern vs. Cosby case. If there is something you want us to look at please let us know. If you want to make notes on any of these cases and send them to us to go in an article that would be GREAT. If you want to write an article we welcome your talents.
There are a few bugs to still be worked out in the new forums, so let us know what you find as you find it so Ken can fix those problems. We hope the new forums moves faster in loading and being able to respond then the blog is at times.
There will be a new article up on Roland Carnaby today, with a lot of information on who he was and who he knew.
We are getting the documents from Casey Anthony as they are released by the Orange County D. A. today as well as the pictures being released and will have those up to download as the day goes forward.
We will have another article up today as well in comparing the declarations that Howard K. Stern filed in his Response to Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Rita Cosby and Hachette. If there is a declaration you want us to look at and then go back in the files and pull the relevant information as we have done with the Larry Birkhead’s declaration let us know.
We have been so busy on the site that I have yet to read all of the declarations released by Stern’s legal team in the New York case yet, but from what many of you are saying they promise to be good, factual and enlightening.
As always thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com and keep the suggestions coming, we really want to make this a user friendly site for all of you no matter which case you might be interested in reading about.

Please remember we are not lawyers and those opinions expressed here are each of our individual opinions and should not be taken as legal advice and/or legal opinions. The comments following this article are the opinions and sole property of the site members and do not necessarily reflect those of the site owners.
I continue to be amazed at how Casey Anthony’s lawyers, led by Jose Baez and Linda Kenney Baden, have to fight at every junction to get what they are entitled to for the defense of their client. It must be hard when the defense team is alleging they get the discovery material they are allowed and need only after it is leaked or openly given to the media.
We have the D.A trying the case in the public arena, but then asking that Casey Anthony’s legal team be muzzled and if not then to be investigated. WTH is that about?
We have the state who used the Central Florida College to analyze the car and when that report came back saying NO decomposing body, the proof is just not there then the D. A. forum shops until a lab in Tennessee will agree with them. What’s up with that? Ah am I the only one seeing a problem here in getting this woman a fair trial? Whether you believe she is guilty or not does not allow the lynch mob mentality of infotainment passed off as cable news shows to try and convict her. Oh wait, it does allow that doesn’t it.
Then you have the famous Tim Miller and his EquuSearch who now has Cindy and George Anthony’s old lawyer, Mark NeJame, claiming they don’t have to turn over their maps or what was searched when because their approximately 4,000 volunteers have a right to privacy. By the way, they WON that Motion!!!! What in the world could turning over the maps and time line of when the area where Caylee Anthony’s remains were found have anything to do with the “volunteers”? I have always respected the EquuSearch team from Texas but I have to say FOUL here, why in the world would you side with the D. A. and not for truth, justice the American way?? Oh wait, it appears this group is always about let’s get so and so for murder, In the future before inviting this group into help, perhaps the motives of the group needs to be looked at closely. Mr. Miller is saying this search bankrupted his group, good maybe they will stay in Texas and not meddle in searches in the future nor get funding until they have some transparency. Simple transparency, like when, what maps, how many times searched, simple things, if you can not stand behind the professionalism of your “volunteers” and they are not subject to being interviewed like local neighborhood search groups are then perhaps it is time for these cowboys to fade into the sunset.
Then we have Casey Anthony and for that matter her family, parents Cindy and George Anthony and brother Lee Anthony also being tried in the public eye. Casey is in jail Caylee is dead but can’t be buried because the D. A. will not hand over what the defense is entitled to under law. George Anthony is in the hospital despondent and yet infotainment masked as 24 hour news networks keep going for ratings, because ratings equal advertising dollar. Never think for a minute that the Infotainment news cable networks are about truth, they are about the bottom line of ratings and making money. So how many others are going to try to cash in on poor Caylee Anthony?
Because this trial has now been put off indefinitely it will give us some time to go through the documents and especially go through the sworn statement the Sheriff’s department took of “witnesses” or “persons of interest”. I hope that we will have some good discussions on this case as it progresses through the courts.
We have new papers up in this case, and we are still sorting through some to break them down to bite size pieces so we can discuss them. As always the documents on this case like other cases are open to ALL not just members of Rose Speaksc.com.
Remember Rose Speaks.com also has its own You Tube channel now as well. Stop by and view all of the videos on this case and tell us what you would like to see added.
Look at the videos, pick up the papers then come back and discuss with us why did the D. A. not trust their own experts in Florida?
