(AP) – LOS ANGELES — “A witness in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy trial has recanted statements critical of the former model’s lawyer-boyfriend Howard K. Stern, a defendant in the case.

Ford Shelley testified Friday in Los Angeles that he never saw Smith abuse drugs, never saw Stern force medication on her, and believes Stern shouldn’t be on trial.”

WHAT???? “Recant“…These jerks! Oh sure, go right ahead and make false testimony and how about this? Much of what this crew from “Hooterville” did in fact caused huge damage to Howard K. Stern’s reputation and health, beyond huge… No I am not saying there is not a story here, quite to the contrary, there is a huge and fascinating story (Kris and I were going to write one hell of a tell-all at one time). But LYING TO THE STATE AGENTS and to the POLICE? That was once upon time an arrestable offense, PERJURY, MAKING FALSE STATEMENTS TO POLICE AND PEACE OFFICERS! And what has this done to Jerry Brown’s career…

Folks what I am about to say is strong and it needs to be said, the agents and police these people lied to should go back and arrest them. This is the problem, people go and lie to the cops and nothing happens to them. And in doing so make the agents and the entire system look like fools, raids and all that silly stuff! …however, there has to be evidence and most of all the truth. Now here is another great question, will Howard K. Stern go after these rich bumpkins for damages?

Ford Shelley, aka Edsel, what were you thinking to get yourself caught up in this? LOL …A good woman trying to help” in reference to Eroshevich…did anyone one see Jesus in that courtroom? Rainbows, white lights, humming or chanting? She is a good woman, just made a few errors of judgment and so what at that… …Eroshevich is a free spirit and smart…

Once again, I have to thank my friend, Linda Deutsch for these wonderful excerpts from the courtroom in Los Angeles. We are doing a Willie Nelson…”On the Road Again”…

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.

After turning down Feel Good California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s, via his deputy attorney general on December 11, 2009 and denying the suspension of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich license Judge David Wesley gave Brown and his people a week to file a Motion and then Argue to the court on December 18, 2009.

Judge David Wesley said on December 11, 2009 that if the Medical Board was via the Attorney General office was concerned with the doctors’ practices, the Medical Board could apply for an order to monitor them.

Thus Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III, who reports directly to Brown, spent another week doing a Motion to monitor the two doctors and appeared yesterday to argue again.

Superior Court Judge David Wesley was not impressed with Jones’ second go around with a new Motion. Judge Wesley listened to Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III argument about why it would be in the public interest to now monitor the doctors. Judge Wesley read the newest Motion and listened to Jones’ “fresh arguments”; a couple of court room watchers said that Judge Wesley could be seen becoming agitated as Jones’ listed all of the reasons. Someone who has seen Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III in action before, said Jones is everything you don’t want a lawyer to be. He does not know how to give a presentation in court and he cannot keep his voice level, not a good face for the Attorney General’s office.

Not only did Judge Wesley deny the newest motion but decided to give Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III a few tips on how to prepare a Motion for presentation in his court. First the Motion was ill written and so was the argument before the court, also Judge Wesley pointed out that the Motion had “Typos” in it. The judge admonished Jones again for the second straight week, sending him packing to update his boss, AG Feel Good Brown

Feel Good Brown needed this to pass because he needs some face time with a press conference, although Brown commanded a huge lead for governor since the summer, he is now slipping in the polls. Add to that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to slash jobs and money from the state’s budget to keep California afloat. Recently there was almost $393 million dollars for the Los Angeles County Courts and included one day a month that all employees take a day off without pay. Which leads me to the question, with all of those people employed is Brown’s office hiring the best in public service? He might think of redoing his office to get some proof reader to assure the embarrassment of Friday does not happen again.

We will also be adding the Tarrant County Case Files in our member only forums over the weekend.

This many high profile names in the headlines yesterday just from California is a good day for tabloid news, well except for Feel Good AG Jerry Brown of California. It almost appeared as the gubernatorial race is gearing up for 2010 Jerry Brown wanted some reason to give a press conference. Hey Mr. Brown, why Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khistine Eroshevich, you have a bag full of press time and face time if you would just discuss the case that is over shadowing the news media locally, nationally and internationally, remember Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray? The two doctors currently in court were doctors who main crime appears to be is being struck by the celebrity of their patient Anna Nicole Smith; thus involving a celebrity patient, Anna Nicole Smith, accidental death from prescription medication. On the other hand the Michael Jackson and Dr. Murray, involved a dangerous anesthesia, Propofol, IV poles and with a warning that a doctor is never suppose to give this powerful and potential lethal mediation except in the strict confines of a hospital under supervision with a crash cart nearby because it can kill your patient.

Dr. Perper ruled in Florida, that Anna Nicole Smith’s death was an accidental combination of prescriptions, with neither doctor that now faces a trial even present on her day of death. Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide and that occurred in the state where feel good AG Jerry Brown, had jurisdiction over the corpse of Michael Jackson, you know he died in your state; jurisdiction over the dangerous Propofol anesthesia, equipped with IV poles, and a giant warning on it’s label of “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME; and to make all of this a tidy backdrop for a picture perfect AG Jerry Brown to have a soapbox news conference. Brown has jurisdiction over all of the people, the celebrity death and the anesthesia and you have the physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, and yet Brown claims, if infotainment news is to be believed that Brown is laying low on the Jackson investigation, WHY?? Is that an admission that the Kapoor – Eroshevich investigation was botched by your office? Now that is not going to look good for an eighty year old “wanna be governor” who is setting his stars on the Smith death to gain the governorship of California just one more time. If you live in California would you want Brown in charge of your money and saving your state from total meltdown financially?

However, Brown not to be deterred sent his assistant attorney general; the one that would take over Brown’s job if at eighty Brown became sick while serving as the Attorney General of California. From the accounts inside the court room that poor man got his arse handed to him with a strong lecture, you have to wonder if this guy was worried that his boss, Brown was not going to get that face time Brown was hoping for. However, if Brown wants face time and plenty of it as the election year rolls around, my advice try concentrating on the Michael Jackson homicide, doesn’t his three small children deserve any less from the man who would spearhead any charges connected to their daddy’s murder/homicide?

Following sending Brown’s representative by to Brown’s office some strong directed words, only as Judge Wesley could do Brown’s guy was sent backing.

After the hearing, Eroshevich’s attorney, Adam Braun, told the media that; “There’s simply no basis to prevent her from practicing medicine at this point.”[This case] is related to a single patient and on its face, it’s laughable that she would [be deemed] an imminent threat to the public.”

Judge Wesley sat a “boring” Motion and how to interview those pesky people who stole a few things from Anna Nicole Smith and as one source who knows Ford Shelley said; he is strutting like a peacock saying he is the KEY witness in sending Howard K. Stern and the two doctors to prison. Well that is unless Shelley is indicted before he appears on some pesky federal charges for paying an FIDC bank loan off with a forged rental agreement which was not worth the papers Ford Shelley wrote it on. Shelley might just graduate from a no body to a high profile person in a way he does not want. Once source told us because of Shelley handling the family business in such a shell game stunt it has ripped the family apart and that Gina, Ford Shelley’s wife, has to do nails and hair to try to keep her husband afloat. I guess without Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate’s belongings to auction off for a flow of cash, Shelley is finding himself a tad broke, and minus family support. Wonder if this will be a wonderful holiday season for Shelley? Will the Thompson family invite him over for dinner, I am told don’t hold your breath and if you are going to make a bet, it would be that Shelley will be left out in the cold.

Back to the California criminal trial, Judge Wesley has set one “housekeeping” Motions, discovery, handing over more evidence to the defense etc. for Friday, December 18 and a tentative trial date of February 5, 2010. However, Steve Sadow, the lead attorney for Stern told the waiting press that because of Motions to be filed and the schedule of the Court his client’s trial might postpone until sometime in the summer of 2010.

I wonder if that will be enough time for Brown to decide to get the microphones ready for a series of news conferences to trout out the Jackson homicide for his gubernatorial campaign.

A court watcher media person told us from yesterday’s hearing that Stern looked more self assured, even with a tad of arrogance. My thoughts on that is I would be willing to bet if he has extra money these days jingling in his pocket and room to take a deep sigh these days that would be courtesy of Rita Cosby, although everyone is keeping mum about that to be sure something like the O’Quinn settlement from appearing on those pesky gossip sites, like “T”.

Is it Déjà vu of Anna Nicole Smith who is rumored to have loved clowns and to dress up as a clown, we all remember the now infamous “Clown Video”? This Halloween it appears that Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn, is following once again in her mother’s foot steps. Tell us what you think of Anna Nicole beside her daughter Dannielynn and right before Halloween?

Here are the rest of the headlines as we head into tomorrow’s first day of hearings.

What some predict will be a possible 10 day hearing and could well be a walk through dud hearing, the state is not going to show their cards and someone once told me a D. A. could get a Grand Jury to Indict on a Ham and Cheese sandwich the bar is so low. This is a Preliminary hearing and I doubt the bar of proof to hold over to trial is much higher only public as opposed to a Grand Jury. That said, it does give AG. Feel good Jerry Brown another go at the free advertising of a very public hearing, and right before the kick off of his 2010 guberernatorial bid. The only better camera opportunity for Feel Good AG Jerry Brown is if cameras were going to be in the court room and him sitting with the assistant D. A. Add that with a possible indictment of one of Michael Jackson’s doctos by the grand jury in Los Angeles this week and Jerry Brown must be in euphoria.

Per a comment from the AP: “Attorney Adam Braun, who represents Eroshevich, said the evidence disclosed at the hearing may be surprising, but the outcome of the proceeding before Superior Court Judge Robert Perry is predictable. Preliminary hearings represent the lowest possible hurdle for a prosecutor to clear and are virtually impossible for a prosecutor to lose,” he said. “If the prosecutors in this case somehow can’t make it past the preliminary hearing, they should be laid off.” Braun said he was unlikely to call any witnesses of his own. “Given the general futility of the exercise, Dr. Eroshevich will listen intently to the prosecutors’ allegations and reserve her defense for maximum surprise at trial,” he said.

Howard K. Stern’s ride them in cowboy attorney also gave a statement to the AP in the same article of: “Steve Sadow, the Atlanta attorney representing Stern, said he had not yet decided whether to call defense witnesses but would try to make his case through aggressive cross-examination. He expects some colorful witnesses, including the investigators.”

No cameras and lots of first and maybe second day interviews is what I expect at lunch breaks from the colorful Sadow. Expect Adam Braun to keep his head down and make notes while talking to his client and I expect the same from Dr. Sandeep Kapoor’s attorney, Ellyn Garafalo, of keeping her cards close to her chest as well, however I hope Sadow gives us some colorful commentary of this hearing on behalf of his client, Howard K. Stern. I wonder if Virgie Arthur with her attorney Neil McCabe and top investigator Don Clark will also be present, if so except a couple of news nuggets from them.

Then we have Larry Birkhead’s friend, Harvey Levin and the TMZ staff giving Birkhead more face time with the story entitled: “Birkhead Star Witness In Howard K. Case”. So is Birkhead going to sink Howard K Stern or save him? No matter how it goes it is going to give Birkhead a lot of face time in front of cameras again.

Then if this is not strange enough for everyone here is the cake topper; Reuters News reporting that: “Mark ‘Hollywood’ Hatten Now Under Protective Custody From Jax Desmond Worldwide”. That would be the company Mark Speer works for or worked for. The article goes to say; “NEW YORK, Oct. 12 “The Jax Desmond Worldwide Corporation today announced that Mark “Hollywood” Hatten is now under their protective custody. Hatten is a former boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith who recently spoke with national media concerning allegations he claimed transpired between Anna Nicole and him while they were dating. “Hollywood” claims Smith begged him to help her in a “Murder For Hire” plot to kill her stepson E. Pierce Marshal.”

Jax Desmond Worldwide states that it “is a diversified private military company that provides protective security solutions to government and civilian clients… The Company offers a broad range of innovative services to customers, helping them to safeguard their biggest assets – their people.” Now how much is an interview with Mark Hatten worth after the old recycle FBI plot from 1999 or 2000 suddenly appeared last week? Wonder if Mark Spear’s still works for them?

Hatten’s interviews seem to be about the story the AP ran with last week where someone asked them to do a Freedom of Information Act Request from the FBI and ran what was obvious old and debunked news.

Is this going to be enough to bring the three ring circus back to town but this time in the Hollyweird Criminal Justice courts or is it going to fizzle as most of the public wait for what might be the indictment of Michael Jackson’s former doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray.?
