Rose speaks

The Playmate, Donna D’Errico, the Hard Rocker/Addict, Nikki Sixx and the Madame Nici!

Rose — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:50:08 +0000

Y’all are always saying “proof” please which is what I love about the bloggers here. However once again as I unraveled “gossip” to find the truth I found questions.

The last few days I have been digging deeper into Nikki Sixx and his Madame “friend”, Nici a/k/a Michelle Braun, and I find as I often do that when I write an article I have more questions then answers.

So here, goes folks, in 2006-2007 with pen in hand, Nikki Sixx writes a New York Times bestseller autobiography of his drug haze days in the 1980’s. Nothing very different then many hard rockers, party bands went through. Sixx’s book covers a full year in his life back in the 80’s when he did everything to excess. Motley Crue together in 2001 wrote “The Dirt: Confessions of the World’s Most Notorious Rock Band” this was followed by Tommyland by Tommy Lee, September 13, 2005. Then came September 2007, and Sixx released his book “The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star” and it skyrocketed up the charts. Even this holiday season [2008] many of you said you got his book for one of your gifts and found yourself lost in his “honesty”. I have to admit I have not read the book. However, if one of you want to send me a copy, I will read it and see if it can be debunked like Cosby’s New York Times best seller or if it stands on its on as an autobiography of Sixx.

Mean while back to the Playmate, the Rock Star and the Madame, in Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Thomas Trent Lewis’s court on November 8 and 9, 2007 Donna D’Errico and Sixx were back in court to resolve the final division of their assets. The couple had been in “court off and on since September 2007 to resolve the final division of their assets, with the proceedings being conducted in spurts to accommodate everyone’s busy schedule”. Donna D’Errico had waived the famed Hollyweird alimony during the divorce and after and wanted to get on with her life with her children some accounts have reported.

In what to me appears to have been sheer brilliance Nikki Sixx was able to convince the court to hell with the fires, which were worse then normal in the L. A. area in 2007. In addition to hell with an ex-wife whose voice both days had been so hoarse, she was barely audible in court, per local media following the final chapter in the courtroom. In fact, to hell that D’Errico did not have a lawyer and had asked the court to grant a brief recess in the court proceedings to retain a new lawyer. Which would have been nothing new or even a stretch for Sixx and his lawyers to have agreed and supported D’Errico, the mother of Sixx’s youngest child in her request for a couple of weeks to recover and find new counsel. Nope some how Sixx got the judge to order Donna D’Errico to represent herself. Only in Hollyweird folks can people manage these feats of magic.

Then it gets really good, the witnesses, we have one of Sixx’s friends, Jonathan Roberts, testified that he spied on D’Errico and photographed her extensively on the Sunday, [November 4, 2007], before the hearing date of November 8, 2007 at Sixx’s request. It is reported that Roberts testified, “He saw her go to church, a restaurant, and a sporting goods store and walk up a long stairway at a beach.” Then retired sheriff’s Sgt. Thomas Stephens testified “he spied on D’Errico on behalf of Sixx on Wednesday November 7, 2007 a day before the hearing and that she left her home for six hours. When she returned, she smiled at him when he said “Donna, National Enquirer” as she parked her SUV”. So here we have an ex-wife who goes to church on Sundays, eats, shops and takes a walk, it is not clear if the retired Sergeant lost D’Errico or if he was just suppose to sit in front of her home. However, she appears to have been friendly and perhaps, in my opinion, showing humor as a national rag’s name was hollered out to her.

On Friday, November 9, 2007 after D’Errico passed out in a restroom from being ill the judge granted a continuance until later in November 2007 for her to get a lawyer and to get well.

Folks here is where it really appears that Sixx was able to weave some magic in court. This confessed heroin addict, hard rocker, going to rehab repeatedly since the 80’s for heroin and cocaine addiction says he was shocked, that’s right shocked, when a “Madame” [note picture above of Braun] told him, that D’Errico his former wife had worked as a prostitute and a stripper. Albeit he was not able to say if that allegation was before his marriage to D’Errico or after the marriage had split up. However, Sixx is quoted as saying; “I heard she was doing high-end call girl work, I was freaking out. Your head starts to spin. We have a child together”.

Remember, in this trip down the rabbit hole folks, that D’Errico had waived alimony; so how worried about his youngest child could Sixx have been for over a year? This “Madame” had allegedly confided this to Sixx when Sixx was on tour in the fall of 2006, per his testimony. What would you do during that year if you felt the Madame’s comments were true?

“Sixx said that when he asked the madame for proof, she gave him names and other information that led him to believe she was telling the truth. One of the names was of a man who he knew to be a Las Vegas pimp.”

Sixx’s book about his own turbulent times in 1986-87 when he almost died and sought treatment had already hit the shelves in bookstores and on the internet for sell.

One article stated that; “Sixx said he went into rehab again in 1999 and did another stay for 28 days in 2001. In the fall of 2007 on the stand, Sixx swore he had been sobered for more than six years”; however, what about now?

Nikki Sixx also made the allegations that Donna D’Errico was using cocaine and alcohol with him, and after their “daughter was born resumed using cocaine to control her weight.” The accounts of that hearing does not say if Sixx offered any proof other than his “word” about these new salacious accusations of his in court in 2007.

Am I the only one here left scratching my head and wondering how Sixx admitted to a long history of heroin addiction, being in and out of rehab centers for close to 20 years, but was now totally believable about the Madame, because he knew a pimp in Las Vegas?

So as a favor, could Nici the Madame have been sharing the shell game “rules” of where are the assets with her friend Nikki? Like I said with the SEC still looking into the “Madame” and a host of others in New York for hiding assets, is it possible that Sixx took a play out of the Madame’s book? Remember Nikki Sixx’s own friend testified that Donna D’Errico had been to church the previous Sunday, did anyone ask where Sixx was on that same Sunday?

Another set of questions, Sixx not only admits to being down the rabbit hole and into rehab over and over again for 20 years. However, did anyone produce an arrest record for his ex-wife showing she was a hooker? Did the Madame or the pimp show up in court to verify this? Can anyone show us a stint into rehab for Sixx’s ex-wife turned user with Sixx? For that matter, how many tickets does this mother have? Why did Sixx testified to something that he knew his youngest child would read one day? Was Sixx successful at the shell game of hiding assets or was he busted so to say?

You see like in most cases where I begin to dig, I have more questions about Nikki Sixx then answers, and yes, I know he has devout followers, just like the “deadheads” for another famous Rock band going back in time all the way to Woodstock. The next article will deal with Sixx’s book; how he admits he found the “lost diaries” years later; and his ghostwriter for his book as I try to find more answers then questions as I do more digging.

John Travolta’s 16 Year Old Son Dies From Accident in the Bhamas

Rose — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:26:27 +0000

In the Island paradise of the Bhamas, another celebrity’s son dies from what appears to be an accident. I have to say memories of Anna Nicole Smith’s losing her son due to an accident comes flooding back to me.

It will take such a long time to recover from the lost of a child, none of us ever expect to outlive our children.

Like Anna Nicole Smith, John Travolata’s son, Jett suffered from seizures. So very very sad to die so young. Accidental deaths, are such a hard thing for any of us to accept, but espcially parents in my opinion.

Jett Travolata will be returned to the U. S. following an atuotpsy to determine the cause of death which as we all know from Daniel Smith’s death is standard in the Bahamas in any accidental death.

Another family celebrating, when the worse kind of tragedy imaginable strikes down a child, so very sad.

Patrick Fitzgerald Request to Release tapped phone calls on Rod Blagojevich!

Rose — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 18:17:52 +0000

In one of the new cases we will be following in 2009, we have the first filings up on USA vs. Rod R. Blagojevich, his chief of staff John Harris as well as others at they become known to the government. There are seven of the first documents in this case for you to download to read and then discuss with us.

The two documents that caught my attention is the Indictment dated December 7, 2008, which you have not to mind obscene language at its worse to read the indictment. The other document I found interesting was the filing on December 29, 2008 by U. S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, of the Scooter Libby fame, filing to release the Intercepted communication relating to Rod R. Blagojevich to the Illinois State Senate for possible Impeachment Proceedings against Governor Blagojevich.

This is the first announcement of the new year of cases we have announced we will be following. As with all of our cases the downloads are opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

You can pick up the filings at the new URL for this case.

Nikki Sixx, the new Hollywood Madame Nici, and the Security Exchange Commission?

Rose — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:02:30 +0000

Nikki Sixx and Nici in happier days!

The alleged Hollywood Madame, Michelle Braun, said to be the new Heidi Fleiss of Hollyweird and the SEC. Why do those alleged Madame’s end up in federal court do you think?

Nikki Sixx’s friend has found herself in a heap of trouble from coast to coast, south, east and west; you have to be really trying to pull that off. In Hollyweird, she is being investigated as the newest Hollywood high price Madame allegedly with a stable of some of the hottest former Playboy Playmates eager for the right price to be seen with the rich and powerful at Hollyweird red carpet bashes or providing fantasies of the high-end kind.

Ms. Braun also known as “Nici” which you have to wonder if that is a playoff of the name of her “friend”, Nikki has found that the FBI took her computer address book of “clients” from her high-end fantasy business of “Nici’s Girls” when they raided her Florida home. Rumor has it that along with the emails and computerized version of the “Madame’s” little black book were pictures that many of her “friends” became queasy over or so goes the allegations. Among those good time photos are rumors of pictures of her snorting just a tad of white powder with Nikki Sixx. As with most of his fans, we hope that is not so, of course he could just come out with his drug days diary part 2 if needed. However, the FBI is not sharing exactly what all they carried off from Nici’s Florida home, just that is a bit to make a few of the rich and famous party group of Nici’s “friends” a tad nervous of what did those hard drives hold.

Then moving right up the coast to New York we have Ms. Braun involved with the SEC, those boys called the enforcement authority, which Congress allows to bring civil enforcement actions against individuals or companies found to have committed accounting fraud, provided false information, or engaged in insider trading or other violations of the securities law. Now that sounds a tad serious for the party girls of Nici, doesn’t it? In that case in the Federal Court of the Southern District of New York, right in Manhattan, Nici has found herself in a tad of a quandary, with all of her names. You can find her listed as Docket Case number 02-cv-03620 in the Receiver of Ashbury Capital Management LLC etc. sues for “Receiver of Property in Different Districts” [better known as the money and assets shell game if you get caught] vs. the alleged Madame, Michelle Braun also known as Nici also known as Michelle L. Fioravanti, Nici, Inc, Nici Enterprises, Inc. Nici Entertainment Group, L.L.C. collectively doing business as Nici’s World doing business as Nici’s Girls doing business as NYC Fantasies. Now that is a mouth full isn’t it, so the pun goes. I am sure it didn’t help that the judge died and things had to be put on ice for a bit, I mean put on hold. Do not even ask, Nici and Nici’s Girls’ high price “fantasies” had NOTHING to do with the sad demise of the federal judge. However, it did give Nici and friends a tad of respite before it was transferred to another judge ramped up and consolidated with about 10 other case docket numbers and in 2009 promises to move forward under the guidance of a combining of all of the cases that are involved in the Ashbury Capital Partners, L.P as umbrella cases.

The nutshell of this case, like with many involving shell games of moving the money and assets around and see who can find what and where, the filings read in part, “Plaintiff asks that the defendants, [Nici and Nici’s Girls in this case], provide an affidavit for the whereabouts of financial records and granting plaintiff partial summary judgment …for avoidance of certain fraudulent transfers.” It would appear Nici has more then fantasies to worry about.

Then you have the alleged high end Playmates who work for Nici, and it is getting right down nasty with the hurling of angry words of some alleging the horrid word of STD being passed around from a prominent client of Nici and one of her “fantasy of your dreams girls”. We are checking into those allegations before we name the party animal guy at the center of those rumors. That translates that we are checking our sources to be sure before stepping into some juicy New Year scandal.

Yes Nici and Nikki, the picture above of Nikki Sixx with Nici of Nici Girls had to be from happier days, sure hope the rumor about the photos on the alleged Madame’s computers of Nikki proves to be false, so here’s hoping Nikki that Nici will not take you down with her.

Stay tuned as we keep digging away at the rumors of the “alleged” Madame and the Rock Star, we promise more to come including a look at Nikki’s book, “The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star”, and it’s ratings after a boom of holiday sales.

We will also be covering the federal copyright case against two of the song writers from the band Three Doors Down and one of their “inner circle” take on those allegations this week.

Caylee Anthony – When and More Important Who Put the Remains Near the Anthony Home?

Rose — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 04:38:36 +0000

Things become stranger as we see that Fox News in video shows that the area where the remains were found was dry in August. So why were they found on December 11?

This continues to bring the questions to me at least of when were the remains of Caylee Anthony moved and/or were placed where Roy Kronk, the meter reader, found them on December 11? No one is suggesting that Mr. Kronk had anything to do with the disappearance of Caylee Anthony. However, now with his attorney, David Evans, asking that Mr. Kronk receive the $250k and is “shopping” Mr. Kronk’s story around the networks, cable, media outlets, etc. it does give me cause to pause and think about the greed connected to this poor child’s death. Per MSNBC a statement by David Evans, Mr. Kronk’s attorney; “[The] meter reader who discovered the remains of Caylee Anthony plans to tell his whole story to the media sometime in the new year, Roy Kronk is evaluating his options for participation in various interviews, he has been approached by a variety of local, cable, and network media to tell his story”. Now again, I don’t think Mr. Kronk had anything to do with the disappearance of Caylee Anthony and as one of our blog members stated, let’s not lynch the hero in this story, we all need to remember what happened to Richard Jewell and the Olympic Park Bombing. However, Kronk’s lawyer shopping his story is just not cool at this time in my opinion.

However, it would appear that Mr. Kronk calling the Orange County Sheriff’s office three times in August now, with allegations that cadaver dogs and officers “had cleared the area” of any possible remains. We are now hearing the fact that the area was cleared by multiple searches in August might help the defense team of Casey Anthony.

A local network has also addressed the question of “How could so many people miss Caylee Anthony’s remains just 15 feet from the road and a mere 160 feet from her grandparents, George and Cindy Anthony, home?” How did this happen? What answers are the authorities going to give us? Has anyone heard yet if the bones showed they had in fact been under water after tropical storm Faye hit that part of Florida? If not then where does the investigation go from here?

An EquuSearch volunteer adds more questions, and no one knows if she is a local volunteer working with the fame Tim Miller’s EquuSearch from Texas or if she is one of Tim Miller’s people. However, her statements just adds more confusion.

Which leaves me with the question, “Why Roy Kronk went back four times and had to go through the trauma of finding a skull on his fourth visit?” and “Why neither the police nor Mr. Kronk were able to find what Mr. Kronk felt was suspicious way back in August in three consequently calls?” I would think as the meter reader for that area in August it possibly played heavy on his mind as he drove that area daily of where that poor child might be found.

Which leaves a huge question, “When and who put the remains where they were located on December 11?.” Casey Anthony was in jail. Her parents were on a much publicized trip to California for the Larry King show and Lee Anthony has been under surveillance as well as probably many others that the District Attorney’s office might think could or would put the remains of this child where they could finally be found.

It seems the more I read and the more videos I see, the more questions I have. I guess we will have to wait until Roy Kronk’s attorney finds the right media or infotainment venue for his client to tell us the reasons he went back four times.

We are still working through the huge amount of paperwork being released by Orange County as well as the hours of videos available. Remember the documents on this case as with all cases are opened to All, not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

D. C. Madame, Deborah Palfrey Leaves a Trust Fund for The Innocence Project!

Rose — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 06:29:22 +0000

As if reaching out from the grave on this holiday season, Deborah Palfrey had one more surprise for the government that tried and convicted her as the D. C. Madame, the woman whose client list contained the who’s who of Washington D. C.

Ms. Palfrey left a Will that her Estate found in September 2008 among her belongings in one of the three properties she owned that is now in a Civil Forfeiture Suit where the USA is attempting to take all of the property as that of being ill gained and so by law belongs to the USA.

There was already a fight brewing between the government, Ms. Palfrey’s mother Blanch Palfrey her Executor, and an old lawyer of Palfrey’s by the name of Montgomery Blair Sibley. You might remember Mr. Sibley from another article I did about his pedigree and that “Blair House” where the Prime Minister of the U. K. lives is named after an ancestor of Mr. Sibley. Each in a three way corner, each quoting law in support of their claim to the “loot”, or parts thereof if the government loses in getting it all.

The Court in Washington D. C. had issued an Order several months ago for the sides to try to mediate a settlement between them and to keep the Court informed via filed Status Reports by the Estate.

Pulling those because something about this case I found haunting, and so I continued to follow it and read the filings to see who got the gold literally. Much to my surprise in the last filing for the year 2008, with the next one due on February 23, 2009, the Estate made a disclosure to the Court that must have made the D. C. Madame chuckle as she had set up her Estate including trust funds.

The D. C. Madame left EVERYTHING, all of the loot in a Trust Fund for “The Innocence Project”, whom has notified the Estate that that they intend to file in the Probate Courts that The Innocence Project will fight legally to see that Deborah Palfrey last wish would be followed.

“The Innocence Project” is a national litigation and public policy organization dedicated to exonerating wrongfully convicted people through DNA testing and reforming the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. On their home page they have a note up that because of them 20 people were clear in 2008 and are home this year to celebrate the holidays.”

The newest District Attorney for Dallas County, Texas, Craig Watkins in the first six weeks he was on the job took steps in what I hope will begin to sweep across Texas and other states, Watson has turned over all of his files from every felony conviction prosecuted in his County since 1970. He is doing this because he is concerned that innocent men and women may be in prison. Because of the steps taken by Craig Watson, Dallas County now leads the NATION in the number of inmates exonerated through DNA testing and a lot of hard work by volunteers.

In a statement shortly after taking office in 2007 Watson said, “I will make sure it never happens again. We are going to make sure everyone it has happened to in the past gets out of jail. My position as the new district attorney is to not only put the bad guys in jail, but to also be just and fair. It is my responsibility to bring credibility to this office” Watson is allowing The Innocence Project to go through 350 cases. This is being done by law school volunteers, who get no credit or pay for doing the work, they get something greater many of them say, the satisfaction of freeing someone wrongly accused WOW, what if every District Attorney’s office in our nation made the same pledge, could we bring “justice” back to the “justice system.”

I bet the D. C. Madame, a nickname for Deborah Palfrey that the press in Washington D. C. labeled her, might just get the last word, that of freeing the innocent, you can’t get better than that.

You can pick up all of the filings in this case, in our download section opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

In this “oldest profession” known to mankind, as the year ends we will not only look at Deborah Palfrey’s outcome but also turn our attention to Michelle Braun a/k/a Nici, whom many have said is the newest Heidi Fleiss to the hungers of California. I think you might be interested in Michelle Braun, where she is today and which Rock star she might bring down with her.

What did Roy Kronk see that Search Teams Missed in the Caylee Anthony Case? How did the Remains get There if Casey Anthony has been Monitored Since Day One in mid-July?

Rose — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 20:49:15 +0000

Where were the remains before December 11, and should persistent meter reader Roy Kronk be questioned or rewarded? Mr. Kronk’s lawyer, David Evans, is now saying his client, the meter reader, should get the reward money form Crimeline. Here we go again is it about the money? However, the much more serious question is what did Kronk see at the site where the remains were found that everyone else missed during multiple searches?

Roy Kronk made two calls to the Orange County Sheriff’s dispatch center and one call to another line. These calls by Kronk were made on consecutive days of August 11, 12, and 13, stating that in a swamp near the home of George and Cindy Anthony he had seen something suspicious by a tree that was down, that looked white. On August 11 and 13 the Orange County Sheriff Dept. sent deputies to look at and walk with Kronk in the area he was reporting. In the audio tapes released, it appears that Kronk was apparently very familiar with the area.

Sheriff Beary said this area was “known” to us, but was flooded in early searches. According to officials from the Orange County Sheriff’s office in Florida the proximity of its discovery, 1200 feet, to the grandparents’ home has drawn growing attention from the media and law enforcement officials. Has the Sheriff’s department changed their account of searching the area, allegedly in first statements released right after December 11, of the area being under water, to now saying that the area had been searched by cadaver dogs and cleared? So what did Roy Kronk see that the investigators missed? What was it that made him call 3 times in August and then follow up his own lead by going back to the same area on December 11, four months later?

The area less than a half-mile from the Anthony home where Casey Anthony lived with her daughter Caylee seems to be drawing contradictory accounts of that area and when it was first searched. Neighborhood groups said the area had not only been well searched by people but also by deputies with cadaver dogs. On Saturday, December 13, Michelle Bart, the family’s previous spokesperson, had said to News 13, “The family is suspicious of the circumstances leading to the findings. “It’s been searched dry, it’s been searched wet, it’s been searched in between. It’s been searched over by Tim Miller [of Texas EquuSearch] twice, who we hold in high regards with his professional organization.”

Jessica D’Onofrio television reporter on the scene for Local 6, Orlando Florida was on Larry King on Friday December 12 and strongly disagreed with the assistant attorney general, from Florida, about whether the area where the remains of the child were found was under water from July until November. You can hear Ms. D’Onofrio saying in the video that cadaver dogs had in fact searched that very area.

Hurricane Faye hit this area of Florida with rain on August 18, almost a full 30 days after the search in that area began. Neighborhood groups said that area had been thoroughly searched several times in the beginning before Hurricane Faye.

Tim Miller’s Equi search from Texas said they came in on August 30, 2008. On September 7, Equi Search had called off searching because of environmental conditions and concern. However, when they returned on November 8, 2008 that area was dry and accessible but at that the time had been fenced off making it impossible for Equi Search to go into that area. Why was it fenced off and when was that area fenced off? Why didn’t that construction team while fencing this area see anything or at least explore this area? Who was the construction company that fenced off this area? Will they come forward in days to come to explain how they missed the remains of a child when those remains were so close to the road, allegedly only 15 feet?

As with so many of the high profile cases we follow, I am left with more questions then answers and some sources investigating the ever changing story have promised us more revelations that will only add additional questions and no answers.

In the end the glaring questions are why, were the remains not found in August when Mr. Klunk first reported them? Why did it take a meter reader going back a fourth time to find these remains? Then there is the question no one seems to want to ask, when and how did the remains get there if that area had in fact been searched and cleared by the Orange County Sheriff’s department?

Stay tuned as we continue to dig through voluminous amount of information released by Orange County, I am just not buying the quick let’s lynch the mother, that Greta Van Sustern and Nancy Grace have been building as a mantra over the last few weeks.

We promise to have more in interviews both transcribed and audio for you to decide your own truth as Rose Speaks always suggest each of you do with an open mind and not buying the “spin” of infotainment news.

We are working to also get all of the documents up in “bite size” pieces for each of you to go through. Our documents are open to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

The Dilemma of Rita Cosby’s lawyer, Elizabeth McNamara Filing of Confidential Exhibits, the Infamous Document 73 with Exhibits!

Rose — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 23:32:56 +0000

On the night of December 15 into the early morning of the 16th for about seven to nine hours, on PACER were the filings of Elizabeth McNamara’s Declaration in support of her client, Rita Cosby’s Motion for Summary Judgment with exhibits A – HH.

After the seven to nine hours that the documents were on PACER for the whole world or those of us with PACER accounts to download, Ms. McNamara filed a letter with the Court dated December 16. She was both advising the Court that the exhibits had been filed in error and requesting that she be allowed to file her Declaration corrected. Her letter went on to state she had contacted the other counsels in this case and had also contacted the Clerk of Court to remove the documents because some of them should have been filed under Seal. The Court granted this request on December 17, and Ms. McNamara got a “do over” on December 19, however, she also filed corrected versions of ALL of Rita Cosby’s filings that were due and had been filed with the Court on time by the Court’s Ordered due date of December 15. We have not yet completed rechecking those documents compared with the Originals filed on December 15 to see if any of them had been changed or redacted. However, all of those filings from both December 15 and December 19, minus the infamous document number 73 remain on PACER for everyone to download.

Rose Speaks.com did in fact download that now infamous filing of docket number 73, the Declaration of Ms. McNamara with all of the exhibits attached. We have struggled since the morning of December 16 as to whether to put up these documents including the Exhibits marked “confidential” or “highly confidential” filed with Ms. McNamara’s Declaration. We have pondered whether any of the other parties and/or their legal counsel involved in suits in other jurisdictions, (I. E. Texas both federal and state; California probate, South Carolina etc.), some of which have the same parties in those cases had downloaded the documents. Since they, [the papers], were put up in error by Ms. McNamara then that brings up the question of was any of the three versions of the Agreed Confidential Orders the Federal Court in New York had issued previously, each time tightening up the previously filed Agreed Order to protect the privacy of the parties? I have to say on a side note that what Ms. McNamara filed in error, makes those fourteen pages of Rita Cosby’s deposition filed by Lin Wood back in November 2007 look like a minor mistake and one hopefully that NOONE ever refers to in the future. Like with these papers, Rose Speaks.com had on November 29 - 30 downloaded those papers at 11 A. M. making Lin Wood releasing them to Art Harris after 5 PM on November 30 a moot point.

However, I regress to other days and other papers filed in error and not under Seal as the Federal Court in New York had intended and displayed by the additional Orders issued by the Court. The infamous document 73 with exhibits contained four of the eight excerpts of depositions referred to in Ms. McNamara’s Declaration. These excerpts of depositions were clearly marked confidential. I cannot begin to imagine the horror and personal violation that each of the four people whose excerpts were filed in error must feel. Some of the excerpts referred to delicate financial information with exhibits attached including one of the person’s social security number. The other filings that were marked confidential or highly confidential were multiple documents filed in the California Court regarding Dannielynn’s paternity in the fall of 2006. Clearly, both the California Family Court as well as Larry Birkhead never intended for any of these documents to be filed for the world to read. The documents ALL showed “highly confidential” marked on each of four exhibits of documents, including affidavits involving that suit filed under Seal as is my understanding required in Family Courts in California where a minor child is a subject of the suit. Mr. Birkhead’s attorney Michael Trope placed “highly confidential” on those documents before releasing them per a Court Order.

Other documents filed in error included the copy of the Royal Bahamian Police Affidavit filed by Ford Shelley on November 17, 2006, after the fight about Horizons had become front and center both in the Bahamas Courts as well as the Court of public opinion. There is also a partial filing of Howard K. Stern’s Affidavit filed with the Royal Bahamian Police dated September 10, 2006.

Ms. McNamara, in her Declaration, has marked exhibit R as being filed under seal and showing it redacted on her declaration as to the contents of the exhibit, in actuality all ten exhibits marked as exhibit R were filed by Ms. McNamara, some filed on December 16 and the rest filed on December 19 with the “do-over”. Exhibit R refers to the Court Proceedings, in the Bahamas related to Daniel Smith’s death and inquest.

After almost a week of discussions between Ken and myself weighing the “right of the public to know” versus the “right of privacy of these individuals” we have made a decision as to what to put up from this infamous filing of document 73 and what not to put up. We will NOT put up any of the four excerpts of depositions with exhibits filed in error. We will NOT put up any of the documentation involving the filings under Seal in 2006 with the family courts in California marked “highly confidential” in the accidental filing by Ms. McNamara on December 15. We did upload those exhibits that referred only to the CDs filed with the Court that were marked either “confidential” or “highly confidential”. We are also making available to download exhibit X, which is a brief excerpt from the book “Big Beautiful Doll” by Eric Redding. Although that exhibit is marked confidential since anyone can buy the book we felt like nothing in the Stern vs. Cosby case would be compromised. Exhibits BB and CC are identical except for about 15 pages marked “confidential” or “highly confidential”. Since this appears to be hand written notes by either Rita Cosby or her ghost writer Bruce Littlefield, those pages have been redacted and removed from what is available for you to download.

We hope you understand what we have gone through this week as we struggled with what we felt was the appropriate documents to put up for all to read. We hope each of you understand those documents we elected not to put up was strictly based on the fact we firmly believe those person’s involved, especially Dannielynn, “rights to privacy” trumps you the public, “right to know”.

Lawyers make mistakes as this filing clearly demonstrates. Hopefully, throughout the rest of the lawsuits involving these same people and lawyers, Lin Wood included, instead of the “mantra” of, (fill in the blank with a lawyer’s or party’s name here), cannot be trusted will now change. Our hope is that based on this horrible accident that in the future, as exampled in the case where Wood released 14 pages of a deposition, that the “mantra” of not being able to trust a lawyer and/or party will now be replaced with a sincere apology. As well as to figure out how to avoid in the future damage done by this type of mass filing of confidential papers which were available to the world via PACER for seven to nine hours.

These documents are in our download section, opened to ALL, not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

There will be two more articles up today. One debunking either Hachette’s filing for Summary Judgment including declarations and exhibits or the debunking of Cosby’s filing for Summary Judgment including declarations and exhibits. The second article that will be put up today will be about Casey Anthony and what happens now in that sad saga since the remains of Caylee have now been found.

Anthony Pellicano Sentence, Some Smiles, Some Tears as John J. Nazarian PI, Takes us Through the Day!

Rose — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:39:09 +0000

Well, the day has come that many, including myself, have been waiting for. Judge Dale Fischer sentenced Anthony Pellicano to 180 months…15 birthdays. Anthony will be 80 years old if and when he is released from the Bureau of Prisons, after which he will be on three years parole. He will have to pay $ 7,800 to the court immediately (on top of the $2,000,000 forfeiture ruled last week). All fines were waived as the judge stated that he had no way to pay.

Kat Pellicano and her family came to the sentencing this afternoon and were looking great. She was with her daughters and a young man. Say what you will but this was her former husband’s doings, not hers and not their children. She has been through a great deal also, the level of emotional pain for all involved in this case will never be measured. To some degree she, too, is a victim…however, she is going to be fine, I can tell. Perhaps the show idea will work. I would watch! She and her family need a break.

Anthony came in doing the “stroll” as well as he could with leg irons and belly chain, with his hands cuffed at belt buckle level. He was as usual very happy with a big smile, and at times blew kisses to his family members.

…Anita Busch was the first of the victims allowed to address the court and was in a great deal of pain due to an injury. She spoke of the terror and the feelings being hopeless. She spoke of “death by a 1,000 cuts, deep and hard.” She spoke of the attempt by the L.A. Times to cover up the attack on her by Pellicano and Co. The pain and passion as she spoke were very moving. After she spoke she left the court. Pamela Miller also spoke later in the afternoon and was very strong in what she had to say, and her East Coast accent only added to her verbal attack on the Pelican. All he could do was sit and listen. Miller also made her contempt known for Greenscum and Bluster and all of the people who make it run. Pamela spoke of Pellicano’s “winning at any cost” and that Anthony had thrown away the act of being a son and a father to his family. Miller did not hold any punches, nor did Anita and what they had to say was very moving. I hope that both these women can put there lives together and move on. They did not deserve any of this. The usual attorneys were present, with dreams of home additions and new cars dancing in their heads at the thoughts of what they are going to get from those who sanctioned Pellicano’s behavior. The civil suits will be starting very soon.

Anthony Pellicano, The Big Payoff? John J. Nazarian has a few Thoughts

Rose — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:00:58 +0000

Someone kindly brought to my attention that I am not much of an “investigative reporter,” no shit! The person who made that observation is also not a genius, so we will consider the source. …On the other hand, do not ever underestimate me. I am just an old-fashion gumshoe who is fortunate to be able to keep a roof over my head and provide for my kids…that is all. And once in awhile if the stars are in alignment, I get myself a nugget! A little nugget that helps me go to the next level in my investigation, just a simple guy muddling through. It was also the same through much of my life, much like many of my clients, “at the airport when my ship comes in”…but I work hard and try and get by.

While speaking to one of my friends the other day who is in similar work he said to me, “Have you wondered why NONE of the networks took on this Pellicano story?” “Hmmm,” I say. I did wonder why there was minimal coverage from many of the rags and perhaps a little teeny piece here and there….cautious pieces. SO cautious that the writer and the editor appeared to be “careful.” Now my good friend Geraldo and his group are famous for taking a chicken shit story and making a dinner for six. Where were he and the rest of them? No place to be found. Bigger names in the entertainment world could not be found than were involved in this trial. The heads of major entertainment studios, and billionaires, and famous people that many in American would love to have seen and read about, NOTHING! Why was this the case? Does Anthony Pellicano still intimidate from behind bars? I say yes sireeee, what he has in his head and in other places could scorch the earth beneath many a screen idol, and god only knows many a mogul. LMAO, can you imagine, these people think that this is all over!

“And why,” my friend asked me, “are they all scared shitless” as to what Anthony Pellicano has on all of them? And as I have wondered many times, what’s “the big payoff?” The Big Payoff“ ….Anthony Pellicano knows it all and could it be possible that this will be his “get out of jail free card.” …

Casey Anthony Defense Team Denied Access – Stop the Presses I agree with Geraldo? Tell me it Ain’t So!

Rose — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 06:57:42 +0000

Expect this article to be added to later today.

I cannot believe I am writing this but I am actually agree with Geraldo in that Casey Anthony’s Defense team of forensic experts and whose who of the forensic world is being denied access to any autopsy or to the alleged possible crime scene.

As one expert tells Geraldo, once the alleged crime scene is disturbed and searched with potential evidence removed it is almost impossible to recreate that scene for other forensic specialists to go through. They also explain that even an autopsy does additional trauma to the remains, which makes it that much harder for potential defense experts to tell what has been altered and damaged during an autopsy.

Add to all of this that the FBI is now involved with all of their secrecy, and no one knows exactly where the next set of tests are even being performed. The FBI was seen on Sunday, December 14 going through the site where the remains were found and sifting through dirt for additional possible clues as to what has happened.

Casey Anthony’s defense team was allowed for the first time to entered and walked through the taped off part of the woods where the remains were found on December 11 by a meter man who just happened to have stepped off of the road by a few feet and found a plastic bag with the remains inside.

On Sunday, December 14, the second of the Anthony family spokesperson, Michelle Bart, left, “I am stepping aside, but I am not going away. I will continue to be here until the end.” Bart said she was stepping aside for health reasons. She is preparing to undergo surgery at the end of the month in Washington State. Ms. Bart made the announcement Sunday night at Eastside Baptist Church where in the past family members and supporters normally held weekly candlelight vigils for Caylee Anthony.

George and Cindy Anthony’s new attorney Bradley Conway will now be the family’s primary spokesman. Mr. Conway recently became the Anthony’s family attorney after Mark Nejame left.

On Saturday, Bart said the family is suspicious of the circumstances leading to the findings. “It’s been searched dry, it’s been searched wet, it’s been searched in between. It’s been searched over by Tim Miller [of Texas EquuSearch] twice, who we hold in high regards with his professional organization,” Bart told News 13.

Anyway back to yes I admit it, I agree with Geraldo this weekend and his panel whom seemed all to agree with each other. I too love the show Doctor G. and if she is in charge you have to wonder why she would exclude the defense forensic specialists from just watching from afar. However, with the FBI taking over much of the case it appears perhaps Doctor G had no say in any of this.

In an ironic note, there was also another missing girl, who disappeared in 1997, and has yet to be found. Her name is Sabrina Paige. What if the worse of the worse occurs and this child is Sabrina Paige. I wonder how her family feels seeing the 24/7 crazed infotainment coverage of all things Caylee Anthony.

We have spent the weekend trying to organize all of the paperwork that has been released over the last few months by the state of Florida and hope to have all of it up near the beginning of this week. We will announce when any of the documents go up, and try to have some discussion especially on the previous interviews of friends and family of Casey Anthony.

Casey Anthony’s Life Changes with One Phone Call, is it Caylee Anthony?

Rose — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 02:00:27 +0000

On Thursday, a meter reader stepped off the main road for some reason; took a stick to move a plastic bag; and the world for George and Cindy Anthony and their family would perhaps forever change, or does it?

By now most of us have all heard the gruesome details of a child’s skull coming out of the plastic bag and the horror of the meter reader and the company employees caught on the 911 tape from where he works.

With this to me comes more questions then answers. Why so close to the Anthony home? Why when George and Cindy Anthony were out of state and the whole U. S. or those following this saga knew they were? Why were the remains of this child not found before? If they have not been there the whole time, by whom and when were they put there? You see I have more questions then answers.

I hope the last almost two years have taught each of us to look beyond the rating pushed infotainment shows. I even read last night that Nancy Grace saw a major jump in the ratings for her evening television show this week and next week, Greta Van Susteren will have the highest ratings. Producers for both shows scramble to book the best of the talking heads in competition for ratings. Makes you sick until you think of it in pragmatic terms, ratings equals advertising dollars, which equals keeping your show at the top in this tough market for every advertising buck out there.

Linda Kenney Baden, wife of Dr. Michael Baden of Fox Noise paid talking head, has been added to Casey Anthony defense team. Wonder if that will give Dr. Michael Baden a job on the defense team like with the publicity he received on O. J.’s team? Wonder if it will neutralize Baden as a talking head since it would not be appropriate for pillow talk to appear on Fox Noise for money and ratings.

Pick up a copy of the emergency Motion Hearing papers from December 11 to have access to any forensic evidence if the body turns out to be that of Caylee that was filed on behalf of Casey Anthony by her defense team.

We will be bringing you a news clip later tonight or tomorrow that we hope you all find something to think about in this race for ratings, and some times as we have seen before throwing truth out the door.

We are sorting through the massive amounts of paperwork the Orange County D. A and Sheriff’s department as they release them and we will try to get them in bite size and discussion size papers. Remember that the documents we have on this case is in our download section opened to ALL, not just members of Rose Speaks.com.

Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead Present for the Solemn Private setting of Anna Nicole and Daniel Smith’s Monument on Graves.

Rose — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 20:38:11 +0000

Keeping the promise that Larry Birkhead had shared with a national magazine a few weeks ago, both Howard K. Sterna, Larry Birkhead and Birkhead’s daughter, Dannielynn “Hope”, were present on what would have been Anna Nicole Smith’s forty-first birthday for the setting of the monument, which almost entirely covers the graves of her and her son Daniel Smith. There are no other details about who was invited to the private setting of the stone.

Larry Birkhead gave the exclusive story to his hometown paper, the Louisville Kentucky Courier Journal, about the monument and its details on the night of December 11, and within 12 hours it was picked up by TMZ.com and is being reported last night and today in U. S. as well European papers and blogs.

Birkhead had commissioned the stone to a hometown company of Evans Monument Company for the etching and setting of a five foot by six foot, 3,805-pound granite from China. The etchings consisted of a picture of Anna Nicole Smith, one of her son Daniel Smith and the one with this article said to be Anna Nicole’s favorite picture of her with her son.

The inscriptions read, for Anna Nicole Smith, “I love you more then all the fishies in the Sea”, and Daniel Smith’s inscription reads, “I love you more than all the raindrops in the sky”.

The stone is black granite but in the beautiful pictures on the Evans Monument Company site, it appears to have been polished to a beautiful midnight blue hue, perhaps it is only the hue of the picture and not the stone.

Rita Cosby and Hachette Books CANNOT file Motion for Summary Judgment under Seal in New York!

Rose — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:21:05 +0000

In the Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby and Hachette Books, on December 11, 2008, there was a letter addressed to Judge Denny Chin from Elizabeth A. McNamara requesting the Court for permission to file Motion for Summary Judgment for Rita Cosby and Hachette Books under seal. The Court DENIED the request to file the papers under seal “except that the parties may file a set of papers publicly, with confidential exhibits omitted and references to any confidential matters redacted, with a second complete and unredacted set that will be filed under sealed”.

Looks like the New York Court is going to allow us to see publicly some of the information that Cosby and Hachette is attempting to show in the Motions for Summary Judgment due to the Court by December 15.

What do you think we will be allowed to see and gleam for the filings due on Monday? Debunking chapter 13 will be up this weekend, lot’s to discuss in this case as well as several others we are following.

Remember that ALL documents filed in this case are in our download section, opened to ALL not just members of Rose Speaks.com.
