Dr. Arnold Klein

The first glaring question to me is did the death of Michael Jackson cause the bankruptcy of Dr. Arnold Klein and if so, what does that say about the prescriptions that were being handed out to stay close to Jackson?

March 10, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein Status Report on his pending bankruptcy. (171) This filing is interesting because it states in part; “Dr. Arnold Klein is often referred to as and considered the father of modern cosmetic dermatology”. Arnold Klein has also filed bankruptcy in his medical corporation which is a separate case before this same court. Arnold “believes that some or all of his financial obligations were incurred as a result of fraud and/or embezzlement perpetrated by his former accountant and office manager…” It also gives us a peek into the Dr. Conrad Murray state criminal trial by stating; “Dr. Klein plans to retain the Law Offices of Garo B. Ghazarian as his criminal attorneys in connection with a subpoena issued to compel Klein’s deposition in connection with a state court criminal case. Klein also gives up a view into the rich and famous and what cutting back is to them. Be sure to read page 8 on the three properties, lawn and pool service, eat, drink and be merry and care takers for the two he does not live in. Not the normal bankruptcy here.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule A Real Property (212) This document lists Klein’s three homes, the value and how much he still owes on each one.

March 16, 2011 Dr. Arnold Klein\'s Amended Schedule B Personal Property (200) This is well worth a read, talking about arrogant millionaires. This lists every painting, a crystal panda bear, how things are framed, value, and where Klein bought them from. A GREAT advertisement for places like Christies and I would say not to expect this to go on sale in a yard or garage sale or even on an auction block. This to me was the best read of these papers filed.

Anna Nicole Smith

I doubt that we will ever know what the Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate vs. Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Susan M. Brown et all, is going to end. I am willing to bet something is going on behind the scenes.

May 13, 2011 Anna Nicole Smith Estate files Joint Status Report NO Dates Available (310) On behalf of all of the parties Executor’s attorneys have filed a Status requested by the judge of the Federal Court in South Carolina as to what dates in August and September are the parties ready to go to trial because this has been pending about 3 years now, and the judge wanted to start jury selection on July 28, 2011. It appears from the filing that there are three days available in August and three days in September available for all of the parties and those dates are no where near each other.

There is no ruling on the money the Estate says Susan M. Brown owes the Estate. We have the ruling by the U. S. Supreme Court is due out by the last Monday of June 2011, but how could the parties NOT think the judge was ready to go on the South Carolina case? Whatever is up, we will never know UNLESS the judge issues an order of be here on this date or else. I doubt that will happen because the Court had already stated that it could send an Order out scheduling the trial to start at a later date then September. So what do you think the judge is going to do?

Ford Shelley and G. Ben Thompson in the Bahamas

As the California Criminal Trial of Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich looms for August 4, 2010, the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith tightens the noose on four major witnesses.

You have to wonder if this will affect the credibility of Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gina Thompson Shelley, Gaither Ben Thompson II and Melodie Thompson as well as attorney Susan Brown. It also appears that Magistrate Judge Thomas E. Rogers III for the South Carolina Federal Court decided to issue this Order without need of a Hearing.

On July 1, 2010 the Court in South Carolina issued an Court Order allowing the addition of Gaither Thompson II, Gina Shelley, Melodie Thompson and the attorney Susan Brown and her Law Firm in Atlanta Georgia. The new defendants have twenty one (21) days to answer the Amended First Complaint so don’t look for this to go to trial before the criminal charges in California is tried to conclusion.

HERE ARE THE HIGH POINTS I FOUND IN THE COURT’S SEVEN (7) PAGE ORDER

“Plaintiff asserts causes of action for conversion, wrongful taking of estate property in violation of California Probate Code § 850, et seq., statutory and common law commercial appropriation of right of publicity in violation of California Civil Code § 3344.1, unjust enrichment/restitution, unfair competition in violation of California Business & Professional Code § 17200, et seq., violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(5) and civil conspiracy.

That the Estate’s property has been distributed to other entities including Geraldo Rivera with Fox News, the O’Quinn Law Firm, former television journalist Rita Cosby, and the California Department of Justice.

Counsel for Ford has consented to the filing of the proposed Amended Complaint. See Email from MacDonald to Lantta dated October 28, 2009. Thompson has not filed a Response in opposition the motion. The only opposition comes from proposed new Defendants Brown and the Law Firm. 1 Brown argues that allowing the amendments would be prejudicial to her and would be futile as to the claims against her. Brown does not appear to oppose the addition of Gaither, Melanie and Gina as Defendants in this action or to the addition of factual allegations regarding Ford’s distribution of Estate property to other third-parties.

[Brown] argues that she would be prejudiced due to the fact that she has not had the opportunity to participate in discovery as a party. However, in his Response, Plaintiff asserts that he is not opposed to amending the deadlines in this case to allow Brown to conduct discovery.

Brown argues that, as former counsel in this case, she is immune from the claims Plaintiff seeks to allege. Generally, an attorney is immune from liability to third persons arising from the performance of his or her professional activities as an attorney on behalf of and with the knowledge of his or her client. See Hunt v. Mortgage Electronic Registration, 522 F. Supp.2d 749, 758 (D.S.C. 2007). However, both Thompson and Ford testify that they did not authorize her to distribute Estate property to the O’Quinn Law. Firm.

The Clerk of Court is directed to file the Amended Complaint, which is attached as an exhibit to Plaintiff’s Motion. Plaintiff must serve the Amended Complaint within 15 days of the date of this Order. Defendants must respond in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Ok after reading the First Amended Complaint I see this is the same exhibit filed with the Court in September 2009, so nothing new here; just has not read it in almost a year.

Anna Nicole Smith and Dannielynn

In filings today with the Ninth Court of Federal Appeals the Estate for Anna Nicole Smith = Dannielynn, filed for a Rehearing and/or a Rehearing En Banc [full court]. The filing points out that the same three judge panel is what propel this case to the U. S. Supreme Court of which Anna Nicole Smith won in a 9-1 decision in May 2006. Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate asked for an Extension to file this Request for Rehearing on March 26.

I predicted after the attorney, Kent L. Richland, for the Estate said they were looking at a return to the U. S. Supreme Court that we would be going for round two and here we are. This will take some time because Elaine Marshall on behalf of the Estate for Pierce Marshall, Smith’s long time adversary – enemy will file to a Response to deny any rehearing, the ninth circuit court will make it’s decision but look for it to end up back in the U. S. Supreme Court for round two. There is just way too much money at stake for either side to walk away from.

Rose Speaks.com News

Please note on the right hand side of the main page is a scrolling calendar. –>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>–>

This will always have the next thirty days of upcoming important dates on cases we are covering and is the final part of transferring from the old “main site” to the blog as the main site. Please remember that if you are a member of the forums there is a calendar link at the top right header of that page.

We have two scheduled maintenance this week on the blog software and on the contact us software. If you are a new reader here and have a tip for a case you want to give us then please use the contact us button at the top of each page. We want to hear from you and what you want. This leaves only the updated documents that are still not relinked, however with each article we do on each case we are putting up the downloads up to date on that case. We hope to have a document link at the top of the page as we catch up that will give you the ease of all cases you want papers too. If you want or need one of the papers that are not linked yet drop us an email and we will get that right out to you.

On the Anna Nicole Smith Estate vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley etc. I am did not see any papers filed by some deadline for December 28. I tried to figure out if it was a Response by Susan M. Brown’s being added to the suit as well as Gina Shelley, Gaither B. Thompson II and his wife Melodie Thompson. It could be a Reply by the Estate due on a Response filed by one of the defendants in regards to the Motions for Contempt, Sanctions and Joiner of additional parties. Which ever it was it was not filed on time unless there is a delay on showing up on PACER.

December 29, 2009, G. Ben Thompson filed an Objection to his attorney Mr. Joyce’s Withdrawal as attorney of Record of Thompson in the federal case of the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. G. Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley et al. I wonder if this is the reason that the Responses or Replies due on December 28 have not been filed?

On the Virgie Arthur vs. Howard K. Stern, TMZ, et. al. in the 80th District Court of Houston, signed an Order yesterday on December 28 giving the Plaintiff Leave (permission) to file the late documents in response to CBS Motion for Summary Judgment, and also giving CBS Request to supplemental their evidence for the Summary Judgment we should have a copy of this later today for your downloading pleasure. This Order appears to be no win or win for both Arthur and CBS, the new judge is allowing both of them to supplement their filings in reference to CBS Motion for Summary Judgment.

Tomorrow we will list the five cases we feel was the worse or the most bizarre, we would like to hear which ones you found that way. You can use the archive months found on the right hand side of the main pages for you to do a quick review to pick the five you want to list.

On December 31 we will list the five cases that we feel were the best of the cases or had something unusual happened during that case that changed the dynamics of that case. Again we would like for you to list your cases you thought was best of had something unusual that changed the dynamics.

I will have a short article up later today with links to some of the documents and some musings on who and who not are looking forward to television reality series or be part of a documentaries, it will surprise you we think.

Thanks for flying Rose Speaks.com and by the New Year the changes will be complete on what you will find an easier way to navigate easier.

G. Ben Thompson South Carolina

Yesterday, December 7, 2009, in the federal court for South Carolina, the Estate for Anna Nicole Smith filed additional documents of why attorney Susan M. Brown should be held in contempt of court, be sanction and added to the suit.

This is the case people I can’t write any opinions of a professional person image in Georgia, however the Estate’s filings say in much more detail then I could express.

So here or the papers without further comment:

December 7, 2009, G. Ben Thompson Request to be Join with the answer filed by Susan M. Brown in Response to the Motion of Contempt and Sanctions.

December 7, 2009 Reply in Support of the Executor’s, [Howard K. Stern], Motion for Contempt and Sanctions as it concerns Susan M. Brown.

Anna Nicole Smith

This is the final week of the preliminary hearing to hold Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor over for trial of conspiring together to furnish prescription medication to a “known addict”. The trial is rumored that it will start after the first of the year. Which is long after the Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby defamation trial is due to start on November 30 and end within a month or before the end of the year.

Last week on Thursday and Friday we had three pharmacists and the other investigator and partner of Danny Santiago, Jennifer Doss, a special agent with the California Department of Justice pharmaceutical task force. She testified that Anna Nicole Smith had been using multiple doctors, pharmacies and associates to obtain prescription drugs under false names. Steve Sadow suggested in cross-examination that some of the medication was legitimately issued to Howard K. Stern for back problems and for botox injections.

Judge Perry interrupted Jennifer Doss at one point to say, “I’m supposed to be making a decision whether a crime was committed, I don’t want you saying that you think a crime was committed.”

One of the pharmacists, Ira Freeman testified he was so alarmed at the now infamous faxed prescription list that he called a friend who was a drug expert named Gregory Thompson, and asked him to speak with Eroshevich in the Bahamas. Freeman said he had been dealing with Smith for years through his pharmacy, usually issuing prescriptions to her under the name of Michelle Chase, a pseudonym used to protect her privacy. Freeman went on to say that Anna Nicole Smith always sent other people, including Stern, to pick up the prescriptions.

Department of Justice investigator Danny Santiago returned to the stand to relate his interview with Thompson after Smith’s death. Santiago said Thompson, former director of the poison control and drug information center at the University of Southern California, called the dosages requested by Eroshevich “outrageously high.” “He said they would work on an addict under supervised care, a dying cancer patient or if you were gong to kill someone.”

However under cross examination Santiago admitted that during his interview with Thompson the doctor had told Santiago that Dr. Eroshevich was trying to do the right thing for Anna Nicole Smith but was not familiar with the drugs she was prescribing.

We also had Homeland Security agent Kenneth Krause described travel records showing multiple flights by Stern Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, to and from the Bahamas at times when prescriptions were picked up in California for Anna Nicole Smith.

Of the last two witnesses one will be Dr. Timothy Botello Monday to evaluate actions taken by Smith’s psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. The last witness is said to be a computer forensics expert who will testify to what this forensic expert found in regards to analyze e-mails in the case.

In other news on Friday, October 23 Larry Birkhead and Debra Opri settled their cross suits against each other. The public part of the agreement says that each will pay their own attorney fees and that the Los Angeles Court will continue jurisdiction to enforce the settlement. The public documents do not say how much of that $600,000+ of money held in an interest drawing bank account since June 2007 will be divided between Birkhead and Opri.

UPDATE: In this morning testimony, Dr. Timothy Botello, an expert in psychiatry, testified he documented prescriptions written from 2003 to 2007 when Smith died. He focused on one month in 2004 when Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, Smith’s psychiatrist, and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were giving her medications from various pharmacies.

Stay with Rose Speaks.com throughout today as we bring you the latest from the court in Los Angeles as the preliminary hearing winds down.

Howard K. Stern and car at Preliminary hearing

It is the picture in this article, see red circle of the car, that spawn the gossip that Howard K. Stern was driving a new Mercedes Benz and how tasteless would that be?

First I have not seen the registration nor even the license plate number and until I do I am not buying this. It could be his parents, a rental car, one for his out of town attorneys, etc. However, what if Stern bought a “new Mercedes Benz”? I just don’t think that, it is not his kind of car and what one drives to court does not mean one owns it. Remember we have all heard the stories of Stern’s like for baseball caps and to dress down, so why a Mercedes Benz? For those of you who know cars look at the hood ornament on this silver car and tell me what kind of car it is? If Stern bought this or any other car big deal, if he got money from some of the lawsuits or contracts he negotiated and he chose to buy a new car with that money, great for him. I don’t get what all of the commotion is about. If you have a copy of a registration please scan it and send it on to us, if you prove to me he does own a new Mercedes I will eat my typed words on this blog.

It appears Stern did have one set back yesterday. Judge Robert Perry after hearing the amount of money that had been made since Anna Nicole Smith’s death from body guards to Larry Birkhead, he did agree that better accommodations should be provided to the Texas crew. So out of what is fondly called the roach motel and into better quarters Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine were entitled to. Stern’s team had paid the airfare although the duo with their attorney Neil McCabe changed it to a later flight on Monday morning, and Stern’s team had to pay for 2 nights lodging at a classier hotel. It came down to in court who was fibbing to the judge? Chris Smith, Stern’s California criminal attorney, said he had contacted the duo and had offered 48 hours notice before appearing. Mr. Smith argued that Neil McCabe should not be allowed to address the court as he was not licensed in California. In the end the Judge did allow Mr. McCabe to speak on behalf of his two Texas clients, asked what his clients wanted, asked the defense team if they were going to call them and then split the argument in half it appears to me. Stern paid the upgrade for the lodging and McCabe’s clients would be hustled out of town by Wednesday morning.

I talked to one person involved in the fiasco to be in town or not to be in town. They said the communications between Chris Smith and Wilma Vicedomine broke down when she emailed him and told him to talk and handle things through her lawyer, Neil McCabe, and Mr. Smith felt Mr. McCabe was not licensed in California. Is there hostility there on both sides?? YOU BET!!!!

However, the big news in all of this to me is that by Howard K. Stern’s legal team subpoenaing Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine as “hostile material” witnesses for Stern, neither Clark or Vicedomine will be allowed in court for any of the hearings including the trial. I would think that someone else will have to accompany Virgie Arthur to court each day and set with her during the jury trial. In your opinion was this a good move by Stern’s legal team?

It appears the good Dr. Nathalie Maullin is NOT an EXPERT witness, she is just a witness relaying the facts as she remembered them over two years later. I was told she had the personality of aluminum foil and would be a doctor that none of the patients including Anna Nicole Smith would have felt warm, snuggly, or even comfortable with. I went to work yesterday to find out more about Dr. Maullin with the ever changing “definitions and who she talked to” taking place in court. I can sum it up in one long sentence. She had been a doctor barely two years when she “treated” Anna Nicole Smith, and she has been downgraded from the prestigious Cedars Sinai Medical Center to Kaiser Hospital. Enough said.

The other two witnesses yesterday were two pharmacists, Steve Mazlin and Romeo V. Par; very dry testimony reading their records of what was ordered when and by whom.

There was a brief walk on witness to testify that one of Anna Nicole Smith’s alias names was Charlene Underwood and Ms. Underwood made a cameo appearance as this was not her.

Judge Robert J. Perry did not have a good day and is a tad upset with everyone, by yesterday afternoon he was telling Renee Rose to move the case along. Some in the court house heard her say out of court she could be finished by Friday before noon. Court Observers are betting it will last no longer than next Tuesday, October 27. Several Court Observers also said that all three defendants would be bound over for a criminal jury trial and Judge Perry would be happy to be rid of this mess from everyone. I would imagine he has empathy for the judge that inherits this for trial. BEFORE ALL OF YOU GET UPSET!!! Remember I predicted they would be held for trial on a minimum bond, the district attorney has to basically meet the bar of standards of a ham and cheese sandwich and the pharmacists alone probably did that for the prosecution. Judge Perry wants to be done with this. This preliminary hearing has allowed the defense team to see the assistant D. A. Renee Rose in action as well as some of her star witnesses and you can bet that by trial the defense team for each of the three defendants will be loaded for bear and ready to meet and bring reasonable doubt for their clients to a jury. It was Adam Braun, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich’s attorney, who said if the district attorney’s office could not meet the low hurdle required by California statute in a preliminary hearing the assistant district attorneys should be laid off. I agree and if I was any of the defense attorneys I would just let this round go to the State of California. We will see if my prediction is correct.

Now for Mo Mo making over a hundred and fifty thousand with money from interviews which is still probably pouring in from Fox, not bad for five months of work in the beautiful Caribbean with Anna Nicole Smith paying all of his expenses while he was there. His testimony is going to get to when did you lie, at the paid media deals or now at the hearing and on to the jury trial. If Sadow did in fact cause Mo Mo to become angry and agitated then the defense learned a lot from Mo Mo’s three days of testimony and I would bet they are going to go over that transcript with a fine tooth comb so to say. If I was Renee Rose I would make sure there were more people then just Mo Mo that saw what he claims to have seen, if he is the only one I predict that will not get far with a jury.

Next up is Larry Birkhead and the 2.3 million dollars paid since Anna Nicole Smith’s death, well part of it came from NBC contracts to be Tony Potts best paid friend with exclusives for 3 to 6 months back in the spring of 2007, how ever long that contract was for. So the over one million more I would say came from other media like Fox and CBS – Entertainment tonight, and I wonder if Birkhead was also adding up the magazine layouts he has done with Dannielynn since winning the DNA test? If he can make this kind of money GREAT, it means he has the dough to take care of his daughter.

I was sent an excerpt of something that suggested Birkhead was pocketing Dannielynn’s money and cheating Dannielynn trust account, WRONG. If Larry Birkhead is in the interviews or pictures sold, the money goes to him. If the money coming in is for the use of Anna Nicole Smith’s name and/or likeness it goes into Dannielynn’s trust account. IF at a later date Birkhead decides to be in a reality show, which again I heard the first editing was a bomb, then the money MADE by Dannielynn would have to be held for her in another trust account NOT the Estates. The same goes for if she appears in pictures alone or begins to model, that money would have to be held and accounted for, EVERY penny. Since Birkhead testified that he had made that much money there is no reason to doubt him. Birkhead has also become a household name in the last 2+ years as has many in this sad saga.

The big question is did Larry Birkhead lie about the young new assistant district attorney Sarah Slice and his conversation with her. If these allegations floating around the courthouse corridors and the district attorneys office are true and Birkhead did lie what a crappy thing to do to a young assistant district attorney, in my opinion. She was back in court yesterday and all was normal and she has learned to NEVER talk to a witness outside of the courtroom. The reason is because in court it can be spun to look like you did a naughty and the witness is the victim. I do have to say this fiasco got Birkhead international coverage and bumped Mo Mo from the papers, perhaps that was the plan all alone. If Birkhead lied about his conversations with Ms. Slice then shame on him to take advantage of a new and probably friendly attorney. I bet in all future hearings involving this trial, the state of California vs. these three defendants we will see two big burly bailiffs bring Birkhead in and out of court and Sarah Slice will never forget this hard learned lesson in the legal world of the rich and famous.

I have often said this site will close before it becomes a propaganda site for either side in all of these lawsuits. However, if I am told something and I can verify it through at least one and preferably with two other independent sources it will appear here and hopefully start a good dialogue.

I hope we have debunked part of the gossip and put perspective on the rest, and yes it was the courthouse discussion as it was in the offices for the district attorney that the allegations of Birkhead lying is true, I guess we will find out with time won’t we?

There is no court today and I believe the rest of the witnesses are not going to give us the fireworks that Mo Mo and Birkhead provided.

UPDATE: I did forget to mention that there is of course some main media in the courtroom as well as bloggers covering the case. Those bloggers sharing with me or telling me where to look, they are great and neutral…. HOWEVER, there are some bloggers in the courtroom that do not appear to be fair and unbiased, they have been identified as VA bloggers and now their identities are known and they will be dealt with appropriately.

Howard K. Stern hand that caused all of the gossip

So what is in Howard K. Stern’s hand?

Day six is completed and there is approximately 4 days left until Judge Perry hands this entire mess over to the trial judge for the case. Tell us your thoughts and would someone look up the car in this picture and tell us what the hell it is?
