If you see something additionally that should be redacted please email us and we will redact those as well.

Howard K. Stern’s Response to Virgie Arthur’s Opposition has a couple of new and interesting facts alleged.

Virgie Arthur filed a Second Amended Original Petition has been filed with the latest alleged new facts and attempting to add Larry Birkhead as a defendant but the date to join additional parties was December 1. There is no way to predict if the Court will allow additional joiner of parties this late lawsuit.

The rest as you know we cannot comment on because one of the co-owners of Rose Speaks.com is a defendant currently in the lawsuit.

Rose Speaks.com cannot comment on documents which were released to another site; we cannot comment on how the other site received those documents except to state that those documents are not listed on the Harris County Clerk’s site with the case number of this suit available for purchase by the public as of today December 5.

We have worked very hard to achieve an Agreed Protective Order with all of the parties, Plaintiff Virgie Arthur, Defendants Harvey Levin/TMZ, Teresa Stephens, Howard K. Stern, Art Harris, Bonnie Stern, Lyndal Harrington and myself. Our lawyers have worked since August it was agreed by all parties and signed by the Judge on December 3. That Agreed Order is up on the Harris County Court site as a public document that anyone can purchase at $1.00 a page as any of the public filings can be purchased for $1.00 per page, something Rose Speaks.com can sadly not afford to do.

We fought for this Agreed Protective Order just so what is happening on that other site and now Topix.net would not occur including the feeding frenzy we have been told about that began last evening, December 4. We have fought for the privacy of all bloggers, we will continue to fight for the privacy of all bloggers while we also continue to cooperate with every discovery request we have received. We will continue to cooperate and follow both our lawyer’s instructions as well as the Court’s Orders.

Therefore, we are at a disadvantage here; we will abide by the Court’s Order signed on December 3, we do not have any idea how the other site ended up with a Motion to Compel dated December 3, which is not available to the public through normal avenues as far as we know.

This will be the only statement we will or can make; we intend to abide by the letter, as well as the spirit, of the Agreed Protective Order as agreed to by the parties and signed by the Court. As with all of our transparency including this case when we receive a copy of that Order since it is public we will have it in our download section.

We deeply apologize for any hurt/pain, panic or betrayal you have felt by the documents released and the requests in that Motion to Compel that appears to be based on an old member list of another site.

Please respect the position of both the spirit and the actual Order signed by the Court. We will have nothing further to say on why this was released, who might have released it and why what is happening on Topix because of this Motion to Compel being released with exhibits. We are sure if any violations of the Court’s Instruction or Orders have occurred that the site owner that received those papers will be more than happy to appear in court and answer any and all questions that might be asked. Including how these papers were received if not through the public avenues such as the Harris County Court’s URL of: https://e-docs.hcdistrictclerk.com/eDocs.Web/Login.aspx.

We want to thank each of your for the outpouring of concern as to how this happened and we know that you all will respect the fact that we cannot discuss any of this.

As always, thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com, we will have a new article up and several new cases to follow as well as a new public section of the site announced shortly.

Ken and Rose, co-owners of the site, and all of your admins/moderators who put in countless numbers of hours to make the site run as smoothly as it does.

In Los Angeles California, today will begin the trial of Lori Drew for “Violating the Terms of Service of My Space.com”. When you read that sentence, I think we all go WTH, violate the terms of service of an internet site and go to jail? Yet in the Landmark case of the government vs. Lori Drew that is exactly what is happening and it could change the internet world forever.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles will try to prove that Drew knew she was breaking the Terms of Service of the social networking website MySpace.com by creating a fictitious 16-year-old heartthrob named Josh Evans to woo, then humiliate a minor girl to the point she killed herself. The ultimate Cyber Bully, but is this trial fair to the rest of us that could be affected forever by this case.

As a headline in a newspaper in Australia said yesterday, this could result in something to the affect of, “Say goodbye to anonymity on the web.” The online paper goes on to say:

“So what did they charge with?

How about ‘conspiracy and fraudulently gaining access to someone else’s computer’.

Yup … that’s it and as much of a twist of the laws as it might be this is exactly what they got indictments against Ms. Drew which has more than a few legal scholars a little worried. The one thing that was in Lori Drew’s favour though was that the judge hearing the case had originally said that any evidence relating to … suicide would be excluded from the trial. Considering that the young girl’s death had nothing to do with whether any computer fraud laws were broken this made sense.

Unfortunately, though the judge has now reverse his decision and this evidence will be allowed. In light of how emotionally charged this whole matter is evidence such as this will make it very hard for a fair trial to be heard on the charge of computer fraud; as that is the only charge against Lori Drew.

So how does this affect any use of anonymous accounts or aliases?”

After months of many of us saying that this was a horrible example of an adult bullying a child but it did not meet the criteria of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and would never see a courtroom we have now been proved wrong and the trial of Lori Drew begins today. In recent weeks U. S. District Judge George Wu appeared to have agreed with most of our armchair take in this with his initial hints of rulings to be expected with comments leaning toward either dismissing the case outright or barring prosecutors from mentioning the death of the minor child. However, on Friday, Judge Wu stunned a globe of sites/forums/blogs following the case by deciding that the case would go forward, suicide and all. In an irony he mentioned a Law and Order television program on NBC called SVU that had a segment last week based on the Lori Drew case.

Dean Steward, Drew’s lawyer had said that if the suicide of the girl was allowed into the trial that the jury would convict his client, himself and anyone sitting near him. Perhaps he maybe closer then he might think in that assessment with the Pro Bono Expert Orin Kerr deciding he could not attend the trial citing that this is the last week of classes at George Town University on the East Coast after paying the fee to appear Pro Hac Vice to represent Drew.

The case against Drew marks the first time the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act has been used to pursue allegations of cyber bullying rather than computer “hackers”, those whom have intentionally access a computer without access or exceeds the access they know they have to take something from that computer or network.

State and local governments have passed laws to address cyber bullying, in part out of frustration after local, state and federal prosecutors in Missouri stated they could not find a statute to try Drew under. NO ONE is claiming that cyber bullying is not a horrible phenomenal effect on the world web net where anonymity is the rule of the day and thereby allows bullies to do things they would seldom think of doing face to face. There are federal laws pending in congress to address cyber bullying now pending for the new congress to take up next year.

Why is Drew then being tried in Los Angeles? Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles tried the computer fraud approach, claiming jurisdiction because MySpace.com’s computer servers are in that court’s district.

The statute being used has been challenged so extensively in pretrial motions that many of us have predicted the trial would never take place and more people on the internet then ever before understands what “hacking” is. It does not mean what many of us thought of the old vision of someone “hacking” into a site to take it down so in that respect this case has served as a teaching tool to millions of internet users.

Per one of the best articles outlining the case out of Saint Louis, Missouri, it restates in easy to understand language the basis of what the government has to prove including all four parts of the Computer Fraud act of:

“That Drew “intentionally accessed a computer without authorization or in excess of authorization.
That the access involved interstate communication.
That Drew obtained information that way.
That it was done “in furtherance of a tortious act in violation of the laws of any State.” In this case, the alleged tort is the intentional infliction of emotional distress, with the suicide as proof.”

The government’s case hinges on the fact that Drew violated the MySpace “terms of service,” which prohibit lying when registering, or soliciting information from someone under 18 and/or harassing other users. As we have noted almost all sites, including Rose Speaks.com has Terms of Service and a Privacy Statement as does others sites examples of TMZ.com, MySpace.com, Topix.net and thousands of other online forums/sites/blogs.

The article in the Saint Louis papers states in part, “To prove the elements of emotional distress, prosecutors normally would have to show the conduct was intentional and “beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community.”

If Drew is convicted, each charge carries a potential penalty of five years in prison. Judge Wu did rule however that the jury could find her guilty of a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized access to a protected computer that would mean much less than a year, and possibly probation for Drew.

The girl who committed suicide father, Ron Meier, is in Los Angeles, where he says he will stay until the end of the trial.

Per the Saint Louis newspaper article, “Meier did say that a guilty verdict and even minor punishment would be enough if it came with a broader awareness of cyber bullying.”

I think we all hope that laws that fit the crime as many here at Rose Speaks.com knows address cyber bullying. It has become almost insane in nature as to how some of our members and moderators have been stalked online and have had everything about their private lives that can be dug up put out on the internet to scare and/or harass them.

We are hoping one of our Los Angeles Court Watchers will be writing on this case from inside the courtroom this week so stay tuned to Rose Speaks.com for the latest in coverage of the USA vs. Lori Drew.

On October 29, 2008, Robert Klein filed an Emergency Motion request on behalf of his client John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn Law Firm to postpone mandatory mediation because Robert Klein has the flu. The Motion goes on to state that Neil McCabe is not updated on the case enough to permit him to understand the complexity of the mediation the Court has required prior to trial on December 29, 2008.

The Court granted the Request with an Order Granting John O’Quinn’s request to postpone the Court Ordered mandatory mediation from the previous agreed date of October 30 to be completed no later then December 1, 2008. It would appear the Court is still holding firm to the trial starting on December 29, 2008.

In Texas allegely 1,000 clients and the attorneys that sued John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn Law Firm on their behalf are still watching the settlement money go up in the amounts owed them as Joe Jamail and Mr. Krist say they know where the cars are when it comes time to auction them off in order to get paid. In Arizona, we have a law firm that is waiting to be paid millions also by O’Quinn and that suit went all the way to the ninth Circuit in an Appeal by O’Quinn, headed by Neil McCabe. We have a law firm and clients in Southern Mississippi, whom filed a lawsuit against John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn law firm in April of this year. The lawyers in that case are alleging that they had not received settlements on behalf of some of the litigants in that state and the law firm that tried the case with O’Quinn is alleging that they have not been paid the full amount they claimed owed to them. In the Mississippi case, John O’Quinn continued to file for postponements to prevent filing an Answer to give him time to work out a mediated settlement. After months of issuing additional thirty-day postponements the Southern District Federal Court in Mississippi Ordered John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn Law Firm to file an Answer to the lawsuit no later then October 23. O’Quinn filed an Answer on October 23, 2008, denied the claims and asked for a jury trial. Do we see a pattern here?

In the Howard K. Stern vs. John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn Law Firm lawsuit, it would appear that none of the co-counsels could handle the complexity of facts. From the filing, it would appear that Robert Klein is the only lawyer representing O’Quinn whom has the facts in order to meet for the mandatory requirement for mediation before trial. Roberta Mandel and Neil McCabe are unable to handle this type of complex mediation and McCabe had not set in on some of the depositions that the defense intends to use in the Mediation, per the Motion filed. It sounds from the filing that Robert Klein should be in the hospital as the flu can kill and he appears to be way over extending himself in this case as well as other cases in Florida.

So after all of the hoopla of we need an extension do any of us truly believe that O’Quinn will settle this out of court? I hope not, I want a trial and all of the facts including the blond ambitious Rita Cosby to play out in the Southern District Federal Court of Florida the last week of 2008. It should be a contact sporting event like none any of us have seen in modern day litigation.

While we are at this, who the hell is Gordon Gekko? He appears to be in a federal prison in South Carolina but claims to have been involved with Anna Nicole Smith and others to commit credit fraud. He filed on October 29, 2008, in the Southern District Federal Court in Houston Texas a MOTION to Intervene as Plaintiff under Fed R. Civ Pr 24(A)2, 24(B); a MOTION for Brief of Amicus Curaie, Friend of the Court; and/or MOTION for Reconsideration and Clarification. It was filed under his legal name of Jonathan Lee Riches a/k/a Gordon Gekko on the side of plaintiff Virgie Arthur. This guy goes from Anna Nicole, to Howard K. Stern, to Larry Birkhead to Janet Reno?? What is this hand written Motion all about? Is this a Halloween joke?

The Southern District Florida Federal Court Issued two Orders approving both Howard K. Stern’s Unopposed Motion for Leave to have an additional 10 pages in his Memorandum of Law due on October 27, as well as his Opposed Motion for 5 additional pages in his filing of “Material Facts” due also on October 27. In the New York Case we also have the filing of notice of move by Douglas Maynard on behalf of the Akin, Gump, Straus, Hauer and Feld Law Firm.

On October 23, the Florida Court also issued an Order, granting the Request to withdraw as counsel of William V. Custer, Nicole J. Wade, Eric P. Schroeder and Benjamin T. Erwin, from the Florida suit, noting that the plaintiff Stern had no objection. We will never know what these people contributed behind the scenes as preparations for trial as I cannot find any declarations or affidavits filed in this case or any of the other cases pending in multiple jurisdictions filed by any of the lawyers now withdrawing. I did notice that Nicole J. Wade is still listed in New York as well as a new lawyer from Powell Goldstein added to the New York case on behalf of Howard K. Stern. Stern now has the same number of lawyers on his Florida team as does John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn Law Firm as this Florida Case rounds the final couple of corners and is set for trial on December 29.

In other filings, Stern is asking to file his Response and Memorandum of Law on the Motion for Summary Judgment for failure to prove actual malice under Seal, and his Memorandum of Law on “Material Facts” that he alleges will prove the actual malice under Seal. Stern filed a
Memorandum of Law and a Declaration by John Patton in the first Motion, and a Memorandum of Law and a Declaration by Luke Lantta in the second Motion.

In these filings we get a glimpse of an odd combination, in my opinion, looking at the extensive witness list and knowing that in New York there has been a lot of depositions and Subpoenas Duces Tecum, issued and completed. Judge Chin’s ruling on October 20 was a huge win for Howard K. Stern as the ruling allowed the crossover of not only the defendant party, Rita Cosby’s materials but also that of all third party witnesses in the New York case that Stern wanted to use in the Florida case for his Response.

I am not surprised by Rita Cosby’s deposition and confidential documents that are to be filed in the Florida Suit as we got a look at that occurring from the letters and Orders that came from the New York Court. I am also not surprise that the Wilma Vicedomine’s deposition and documents including all screen monikers she posted under, all sites she posted on and allegedly is still posting on if the posters on Topix.net are to be believed. Vicedomine was to also turn over any chat channels she might have posted in and specifically any and all requests of fellow posters to blitz TMZ.com with posts and asking that fellow posters launch writing campaigns on behalf of Vicedomine and since she is an agent of the O’Quinn Law Firm, allegedly at the direction of someone in that firm. I remember getting posts sent to me by an “Oh Really” on TMZ.com that seemed to know what was about to happen and be knowledgeable of upcoming events as far back as May 2007. Oh how I would love to know if “Oh Really” was in fact Vicedomine. The reason I would love to know this is the writing campaigns to multiple agencies, from the Bahamas, to Florida officials, to California officials, to FOX network hosts of shows, to advertisers to federal agencies. If Stern can connect those to the O’Quinn Law Firm via Vicedomine’s posting and via forensic computer specialists he might be able to prove that the defamation of him was a very well orchestrated “hate campaign” to have him convicted of horrid crimes to further the agenda of either Cosby or O’Quinn. Wouldn’t it be stunning if Vicedomine were the key that would link California, Florida, and the federal government of the U. S. as well as the Bahamas and show the conspiracy to keep the defamation going via Cosby and online “volunteers”, right back to the lap of O’Quinn so to say? Sadly, I predict that we will never know if that can be proved because of the extensive Protective Orders in place in both suits.

Then we have learned that Vicedomine did not agree to be deposed for the Florida Suit, only the New York case however, Don Clark did agree and was deposed in both cases. However, the big surprise to me was why is the Jack Harding deposition so important? We know his story was ever changing. We even know that Harding changed his story in interviews; we know that because of all of the changes as y’all pulled transcripts and videos showing that in the end he had talked to Jackie Hatten, Don Clark and that allegedly O’Quinn had offered to pay his way to the Bahamas to testify at the Inquest of Daniel Smith. This is if Harding’s ever-changing story is to be believed.

Stay turned folks as we round the bend in both suits and head for trial. I am a tad miffed and disappointed that after months of labeling Stern as a murderer, blackmailer, abduction of a child for ransom, gay with tapes to prove it, a pimp, an illegal drug obtainer, etc. related to Anna Nicole Smith, Daniel Smith and Dannielynn Birkhead. Now we find out that all of the upcoming documents involving the very people that are alleged to have done this with “actual and provable malice”; want to; insisted on and have been granted Protective Orders to prevent both the media and us, the public from knowing the truth until the trials.

Pick up the latest documents in these cases in our Download Section, opened to ALL, not just members of Rose Speaks.com and then come back and share your thoughts and takes on why Jack Harding is so important in the Florida suit as well as in your opinions did Vicedomine come clean so to say during her deposition and production of documents.

In the Southern District Federal Court for Florida, on Friday, October 17, Krista Barth and Robert Klein squared off and argued on behalf of their clients for an hour and half.

The hearing was in connection to John O’Quinn and the O’Quinn Law Firm Motion for Protective Order for the financial information with the O’Quinn legal team wanting to wait until 30 days before trial to turn that information over. The O’Quinn legal team is also requesting that Howard K. Stern does not have access to the information because Stern “can’t be trusted”. The Minutes of the Court Proceeding states the Court read the Motions, Memorandum of Law submitted by both side, had the hearing and took the matter under consideration and will issue an opinion in the near future.

In other news the Southern District Federal Court of Texas, issued an Order for a November 4 hearing on the status of the case, and the discovery progress in that case between the parties. That hearing is scheduled for November 4 at 4:00 PM.

The Texas State District Court in Houston, the Honorable Tony Lindsey issued an Order on October 15 setting a hearing on the Motions for Art Harris and Bonnie Stern to hear oral arguments on the Jurisdictional issues brought up by the co-defendants. That hearing per the Court Docket, is set for 1:30 PM on November 21, however the court has also issued in its Order that the parties may request a hearing sooner then November 21.

Howard K. Stern’s Answer to the O’Quinn’s Motion for Summary Judgment based on Stern is a public figure and as such cannot prove “malicious intent”, still appears to be due on October 27.

The New York Federal Court has Order that all depositions of the last five witnesses, Don Clark, Wilma Vicedomine, Mark Speer, and both nannies must be completed by Monday, October 20 in preparation for that trial.

In the Federal Court for South Carolina of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. G. Ben Thompson and Stancil Ford Shelley, there are two filings due, one by Monday October 20, 2008 of the Rule 26(f). The other required filings in the South Carolina Federal Court are due on November 3, 2008 and includes the Rule 26 & 26 (a).

It looks like October and November is going to be two months of many happenings in all cases, in all jurisdictions with filings due and hearings happening. Be sure to keep up with our calendar on the front page of Rose Speaks.com as we keep up with all upcoming dates in all of these cases.

I will have the debunking of the blond ambitious, Rita Cosby, chapter 13 part 2 up tomorrow and I will also have my predictions about the upcoming trial of Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby and Hachette Books.

The Southern District Court in Florida issued an Order on October 14, 2008 for a hearing on October 17, 2008 at 1:30 PM. The hearing is to address John O’Quinn and The O’Quinn law firm’s Motion for Protective Order in relation to releasing financial information to Lin Wood except they are willing to release those 30 days before trial. The Motion before the Court is also asking that Howard K. Stern have no access because of “trust issues”.

The Court also issued an Order on October 15 to reset the Calendar Call Date from December 24 at 10 AM to December 23 at AM, due to a Court holiday.

Following the Wilma Vicedomine deposition on October 13, an alleged friend released the following information on October 14, which was sent to me.

“Per Targets (on Topix.net)
Wilma’s deposition was a smashing success and Stern and Wood are not happy about it.

…The depo lasted 10 hours and Wilma was represented by her own private attorney. Wilma told the truth and, just as we have been predicting all along, her testimony sucked the life out of Stern’s case.

…Klein is representing Clark today. [October 14]

…And that, my friends, is all I can say about it because that’s all I know. The contents of the depo itself is under seal. If any of it gets leaked, someone is going to jail.”

I am gathering from the above statement that Howard K. Stern in spite of his intense dislike for Texas and Houston in particular that he did in fact, [not as I predicted], go to Houston Texas to look Wilma Vicedomine eye to eye. It appears from Targets statement that Howard K. Stern overcame his dislike of Texas to see what Wilma had to say about her actions over the last year plus in his life and that of Anna Nicole Smith, Daniel Smith, Dannielynn Birkhead, etc.

Glad I did not have any money down on my bet. REMEMBER folks, anyone being deposed can share anything they want about the deposition, just as Pol’ and Patrik did to us, some of what they said following their depositions was published and some of it was off the record. There is NOTHING wrong with Wilma Vicedomine sharing the above information “on the record” via an alleged friend, spokesperson, to post on the internet. It is the parties, Howard K. Stern, Rita Cosby and Hachette that cannot release any information on any of the discovery, depositions etc.

It would appear if Targets statement turns out to be true that Wilma Vicedomine felt very good and confidant about her deposition.

I wonder if we will hear something from a “spokesperson” on behalf of Don Clark. Will Don Clark allow someone to address his deposition on the record and permit that “statement” to be put on the internet on his behalf?

In other news in the New York Court Howard K. Stern has added an additional attorney to his legal team, Amy Stewart of POGO filed for Pro Hac Vice status on October 1 and the Court approved that request with an Order on October 8, 2008.
