A young assistant D. A. by the name of Sarah Slice may not be back in court again. After Larry Birkhead testified that he felt like Slice had been inappropriate and wanting him to “ramp up” his testimony is Slice gone? Sarah Slice did not return to court after the lunch break and at the close of court another employee from the District Attorney’s office came in and picked up Slices papers and brief case. Slice did not answer her phone or return calls after court on Monday.

Sandi Gibbons the spokeswoman from the district attorney’s office said, “The matter is being discussed, and no decision has been made as to her further role in this case.” Sarah Slice has been an attorney less than a year… OUCH what a way to learn on the job.

On a break later, outside of the courtroom, Dr. Kapoor’s attorney Ellyn Gerafalo, said, “We’re distressed to learn of this attempt at witness intimidation.”

Birkhead finished up his two day testimony yesterday and before he left the stand Larry Birkhead answered Superior Court Judge Robert Perry questioned Birkhead, about if “he took this as a negative comment on his testimony”, Birkhead answered that he did.

Renee Rose a Los Angeles assistant D. A. pressured Larry Birkhead to reveal that since Anna Nicole Smith’s death he had been paid over $2 million dollars for interviews.

Rose went on trying to pressure Birkhead to get him to say Anna Nicole Smith was an addict of which Birkhead would not go there with Rose. Birkhead again clarified his testimony by recounting how Anna Nicole Smith would tell him, “I’m not a drug addict.” At that point again Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry turned to the Birkhead and asked if he ever had a conversation with Stern in which he used the word “addiction.” “No,” said Birkhead.

Assistant D. A. Renee Rose continued to press Birkhead on multiple issues, until the judge told her he had heard enough. “I think you’re done,” he said as she continued to raise new issues.

Next up was Dr. Nathalie Maullin an addiction specialist psychiatrist who has been practicing for six years which mean she had been a “specialist” for less than three years when she saw Anna Nicole Smith at Sinai Medical Center in the spring of 2006.

Where are these young guns ho “expert” witnesses coming from and did Maullin qualify as an “expert” or just a doctor/witness?

Dr. Maullin described Anna Nicole as a “difficult patient who was obviously going through withdrawal from multiple medications when she was admitted.” Maullin continued by saying that Smith came to the hospital in distress, sweating, having spasms in her arms and legs and with her eyes dilated. She said the symptoms showed that Smith had decided to “go cold turkey” and stop all drugs when she became pregnant, resulting in withdrawal. Maullin said she treated Smith for Methadone and Xanax addiction.

Maullin went on to testify that she talked to Smith and her companion Howard K. Stern to try to set up a program to wean Smith off of these two medications but found Anna Nicole Smith to be “uncooperative and hostile”. Maullin said the new regimen would have included hypnosis and acupuncture but Smith wasn’t interested. Smith angrily rejected a treatment program that included sessions with a psychologist and a complete cessation of sedatives and methadone.

Dr. Maullin testified that Anna Nicole would not “engage with her, would not make eye contact and was very hostile. She described Smith as saying; ‘”Give me my medication and leave me alone.” The psychiatrist said she told Smith and Stern that if she, [Anna Nicole Smith], wouldn’t comply with the hospital’s outpatient program, she needed to check into a rehab center. Smith’s reply was a stony glare. “When I asked her what she had been taking, she blew me off,” said Maullin.

Maullin said she contacted Smith’s physician, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and learned he had prescribed seven different drugs to Smith during the time she was seeking relief from pain. Maullin said that when Smith was asked questions, she would reply: “Ask Howard.” Maullin went on to say that during Smith’s hospital stay, Maullin tried to regulate the former model’s use of methadone for pain and remove her from a number of drugs known as benzodiazepines.

Muillin ended Monday’s testimony by saying that Anna Nicole Smith was very hostile with an attitude of “Give me my medications and leave me alone”.

“Smith had said, ‘I’ll do anything for my baby” Dr. Maullin recalled and that the hospital staff gave Smith methadone and the sedative Aptiva to start the process of weaning her off the prescriptions.

Dr. Nathalie Maullin was to continue her testimony Tuesday under direct examination by Renee Rose and then would be handed off to the defense for cross examination.

Stay updated throughout today as we have court observers who will tell us what is going on in court. I wonder if Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine will be called today as tomorrow is a full day off for the court.

UPDATE: Wilma Vicedomine, Don Clark with their attorney Neil McCabe appeared briefly as court began this morning. The Judge said they were not needed in court so they all three left. Our court observer said they did not know how long the judge might keep Clark and Vicedomine on hold.

UPDATE: Judge Perry has decided there was some type of communication problem with Stern’s lawyers and Don Clark, Wilma Vicedomine and agreed with their lawyer Neil McCabe that they be released from testifying in the preliminary hearing. The three Texans will be heading back to Texas to perhaps be called if and when this goes to trial.

September 28, 2009 G. Ben Thompson’s lead attorney in South Carolina Lead lawyer, R. Scott Joyce, filed a Motion to Withdraw as Thompson’s attorney and asked for an “In Camera” hearing at the earliest possible date for the judge. In camera does NOT mean Ex Parte, I believe it means just closed to the public but it could mean without Stern’s lawyer if there is some possible ethics or criminal charges looming.

September 30, 2009 G. Ben Thompson’s attorney from Georgia, Susan M. Brown, filed a Motion to Withdraw as Thompson’s attorney and asked for an “In Camera” hearing at the earliest possible date for the judge. In camera does NOT mean Ex Parte, I believe it means just closed to the public but it could mean without Stern’s lawyer if there is some possible ethics or criminal charges looming. This occurred less than a week after Brown’s deposition and Order to turn over exhibits had to be completed by Brown.
