Judging from my Google alerts, Judge Robert J. Perry is going to become the latest judge to make the list of judges who are household names. I first ask the question, why is this already being picked up by the international media? Anna Nicole Smith has been dead for over three years, and when alive was a B class celebrity. In fact in death she has become a much bigger celebrity. I had never followed her in life and have heard on numerous occasions that I am not the only one.

Judge Robert Perry is whittling down the jury pool to what might become either Fox News right wing Bible Thumpers or just plain good cons.

A jury of ones peers, well that never happens, ones peers are seldom that. For the most part the only requirement is reading, writing, able to think and being a breathing human being, but in the Anna Nicole Smith case this is about to change.

If you don’t want to serve on this jury here is what you need to do.

1. Bring a large bag of prescription medications and asked to be accommodated like any juror seeking disability accommodations as required by both federal and the laws of most states, even here in backward Texas.

2. Talk incessantly about your own illness, your doctors and most importantly agree to waive your legal rights and spill everything to the judge and lawyers, while the news media is quickly making notes of what you say for their next article, about every ache, pain, medical condition and of course every pill, patch, shot, etc. you have taken in the last few years. In the written jury questionnaire mention the great feeling of the drugs used for your last colonoscopy. Tell them you like that high feeling and that you might abuse cold medication.

3. Be sure and tell them about your grandmother, grandfather, your parents, your brother or sister, hell even throw in aunts, uncles and neighbors who you feel any empathy for due to medical conditions and of course inform this Court of any prescriptions you have ever picked up for anyone.

Now that will get rid of about everyone over the age of fifty-five and any person that feels anything for a fellow human being and the court appears in yesterday’s rulings to guarantee you will be gone within the fist thirty minutes on August 2nd as the jury is being picked.

That leaves the under fifty crowd, watch Fox News, [Infotainment], for your news and already have judged that people who take medications, or are ill, disabled etc. must inherently be bad and it appears you are in like glue on this jury.

How many good potential jurors is this going to exclude in the guise of “getting rid of the kooks” or as Judge Robert Perry stated; “The problem with celebrity trials is it has a tendency to bring out kooks, frankly.”

Now you are down to twenty to forty five year old jurors of your peers. Weed out parents with young children that need care, those who are care providers for the disabled, throw out any juror who questions being drilled about medical conditions and even prescriptions they take. That will whittle it down to the Fox news watchers, Bible thumpers and those with a holier than thou complex or really good cons.

Then you will go through a back ground check by Judge Perry, to be sure you are “clean enough” to be a jury of ones peers.

See there are many ways not to get involved in this mess in California, and who would want to be on this jury? Yes some have illusions of making the news with interviews at the end, but those are going to qualify under these rules. The lawyers will never know your name and the judge’s staff will be browsing the internet to be sure the jurors don’t blog about the case. DO WHAT??? Blog about the case, I thought jurors were not even allowed to talk about the case, read about the case, would that not include blogging in your night time hours???

A bankrupt California state spent most of Tuesday, July 20 discussing Motions related to “…arguments about publicity, the Internet and the effect of social media and blogs on the jury. Judge Perry plans to keep the names of jurors secret from lawyers, who complained that would make it impossible to track whether they were blogging or reporting on the trial via social networking websites. However, Judge Perry did agree to ask prospects if they have blogs or have social media accounts.” You know those pesky networking sites like Face Book, My Space, even LinkedIn which most professionals belong to, in fact just throw out anyone with a home computer to be safe here.

Judge Perry also intends to ask his staff to check periodically to make sure jurors are not blogging about the case. Of course most posters don’t use their real names so the jury should be asked about any monikers ever used on the internet. However this all goes back to I thought you were not suppose to read or discuss a case if you are on that jury, silly me, I am not up with the times of twittering while sitting in Court. Oh yes eliminate everyone with a Twitter account.

I am hoping more courts go in this direction, [said tongue in cheek], it will save all of us in this new era where many of us use Google the AP, the HuffingtonPost.com, The Washington Post.com, The online versions of the Houston Chronicle, the Fort Worth Star Telegram, CNN.com, MSNBC.com, and even Google alerts to get out of jury duty by just confessing these sins. Throw out the fact that for most these are all ways that today’s news junkies get their information. More and more print media is going out of business while the advances in news by internet increases with new technologies and more and more of us turn on our computers to get our news. It appears that is ok with this Judge, however not being in Court yesterday I don’t know this for sure, but to be safe just don’t admit you ever posted a comment on any site whether a reputable news site or TMZ. Better yet, tell the judge you don’t believe in any of these new fangled gadgets, ah no, then you would be in the age group of aches, pains and medications which is automatically excluded. What is a modern day juror to do???

Perry also intends to take the unusual step of checking the names of jurors against criminal records to see if they are hiding anything. If you are a con without a criminal past you are in the jury pool, bring a bathing suit and towel for fun and games for the next six to 10 weeks. However this newest step by Judge Perry creates my next question is criminal as in a speeding ticket or criminal as on parole??? However good cons are going to say the right things if they want on this jury and the honest people who have real doctors, real medical conditions or family members who do, just fill out that form, get your six dollars for the day and you are on your way back to the office or home. Oh be sure you say you believe all policemen and investigators or lie proof and there is a election this year in California, use that as extra “insurance”, [cough cough].

Another tidbit you can do to get out of this jury, whisper the two words that are guaranteed to send you home. What two words can you say that will cause the D. A. and most Judges to go screaming in the night to make sure you are no where near their court room?

Wait for it….

Wait for it….

Jury Nullification… the act of saying this is bullshit. In the old days, our forefathers wanted jurors that went by common sense and their conscious and jury nullification was encouraged to prevent run away legislature or unfair laws. However today, it is a guarantee to get out of jury duty which is why the jury instructions normally says, “you are only to judge this case by the facts involving the law as I instruct you to do”.

John Adams, our second president, had this to say about the juror: “It is not only his right but his duty…to find the verdict according to his own best understanding, judgment, and conscience, though in direct opposition to the direction of the court.” That is not true today, if you even admit you know about your right as a citizen on a jury to use exactly what our forefathers wanted, you are practicing jury nullification which is a big no no in today’s society of complex laws and nustso statutes.

Now if Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Smith’s former lawyer-boyfriend Howard K. Stern knowingly fueled a known addict’s addiction and threw caution to the wind, then convict them. That is how it should go down.

If they did more then what is common practice in the world of Hollyweird, then convict them. If you sense a potential juror is a kook, of course dismiss them. That is why there are jury consultants, but don’t trample on privacy laws to be sure you get that Fox News listener and exclude the CNN and MSNBC crowd.

I loved this exchange yesterday as reported by the AP and I bet Harvey Levin and the TMZ.com staff cringed as the AP led with this exchange:

“Rose made the unusual disclosure that she was filing all of her legal documents under seal to keep them from falling into the hands of celebrity website TMZ. The judge said he was going through her sealed motions and unsealing many of them.

“I don’t think you should file under seal just because you don’t want the media to see it,” Perry said.

“Everything I file ends up on TMZ,” Rose said.

“Who cares?” said the judge.

“Our jury pool is out there,” said the prosecutor.

“Do we even want people who watch TMZ on the jury?” asked the judge.

“We’re going to get them,” Rose said.

“I hope not,” said the judge.”

One way to guarantee those people are not part of the jury pool is just ask any potential jurors if they know who or what is TMZ.com.

Does that mean TMZ.com has received a failing grade in intelligent readers? If so the Court should cruise around “T”, at least TMZ has slowly begun to enforce the TOS and Privacy Policy instead of remaining like the wild west of internet posting.

Be sure and print this article and carry it with you the next time you get a jury summons in Hollyweird, where the right wing nut cases and good cons are welcomed as jurors and those “normal people” get sent home.

Ah the joy of doing ones civic duty of serving on a jury.

THIS ARTICLE DOES AND INTENDS TO POINT OUT THE LUNACY OF HOLLYWERID CELEBRITY TRIALS. Because frankly, who the hell would want to serve on one of these juries???

Now on a serious note: Judge Robert J. Perry has a tremendous amount of discretion. Judge Perry is known as a no-nonsense judge with a distinguished legal background as a former federal prosecutor, he is often selected to preside over high profile trials. In Dec. 2009, he barred television cameras and other electronic recording devices from the trial court in another high profile trial reaffirming his penchant for mitigating intense media coverage in the interest of a fair trial in his courtroom.

Perry has been a trial judge on the Los Angeles Superior Court. Since 1992, he has presided over more than 580 felony jury trials, including 237 murder trials, 28 of which were death penalty trials.

He was honored as “Judge of the Year” by the Los Angeles County Bar Association Criminal Justice Section in 2009 and by the Century City Bar Association in 2002. Born and raised in Glendale, California, Judge Perry is a graduate of Claremont McKenna College and Loyola Law School. He served as an Assistant United States Attorney in Los Angeles for 12 years, and then was in private practice with Epstein Becker and Green, and later with Douglas Dalton.

In short, you could not ask for a better judge for a criminal high profile case, and he likes Stern’s attorney Steve Sadow, so what more could anyone ask for in this case. Lessons learned over the last three years appear to have paid off in changing the Court back to Judge Perry who presided over the preliminary hearing which means he has the background on this case.
He has also ruled against the prosecution and at times has added lesser charges to jury instructions stating the state had not reached the standard of the charges assistant district attorneys have asked to present to a jury.

Google Judge Perry, he is impressive in the way he handles cases that could become powder kegs of any racial tensions in the past and handled them well.

I was sent a link to began to research on a federal case of Murder that goes from Broward County Florida, Dr. Perper all the way to New York that it appears reads like a suspense novel and how it took the federal government stepping in since the murders were related but in two different states. It looks interesting to me wtih more twists and turns then the cases surrounding Anna Nicole Smith and since it has some of the people in common with it to the Smith cases I think we would like to cover it as well as All things Micheal Jackson and the Cynthia Sommer’s federal case.

Forget Rome and the Coliseum, to hell with gladiators’ swords at the ready, all you had to do was be sitting in Judge Hank M. Goldberg’s Department 82 for a battle of two legal titans. We have Neal Hersh of Hersh, Mannis and Bogen representing Melissa Etheridge and her millions against Stephen Knowles of Knowles and Collum and Melissa’s ex-love Tammy Lynn Michaels. Both of these legal beagles have offices steps away from one another in Beverly Hills.

Well the comments and oratory got so heated that Neal Hersh references some of Stephen Knowles work as “slobbing and sloppy,” Knowles looks at him as if to say “you said what?” and one point warns Mr. Hersh, “Mr. Hersh does not want to get into that” in Neal’s attempts to get this back to Judge Pellman’s court. The voices were loud and I had never seen either of these two lawyers in such a jaw lock. Hersh at one point looks at Mr. Knowles and in a stern tone asks, “are you done?” and Knowles looks back adjusting his glasses and states just as sternly, “ Yes, I am done.“ Much of this stems from the fact that Stephen Knowles bagged Etheridge in New York while she was at her hotel waiting for her former love of her life, Mrs. Tammy Etheridge to bring the kids to visit. Well Tammy Etheridge aka Tammy Lynn Michaels called in sick to Mr. Etheridge or Mrs….you get it. And then someone delivered room service LMAO but it was not a snack but DIVORCE notice! Well that was all it took for these two lawyers to realize there will be no playing nice. It was a great set up and Melissa got served!

Mr. Hersh wants this case in Judge Pellman’s courtroom and Stephen Knowles position is too bad, I bagged your client first and you have not even served my client with anything! Well Judge Goldberg would step off the bench and appear to be confused as to what to do. He would come back and if he could have would have “placed his hands under his butt and rocked”…his “honor” did not really know what to do or was so baffled that he was going to send it to the “PJ” for review…or something around those lines. Too bad it was not in front of Judge Gordon or Lewis, control would have been taken and a decision made right then and there.

Reflecting on Rome and Caesar, here is another thought. Neal Hersh and Stephen Knowles are gladiators, sandals and little short togas to match. Judge Goldberg is Caesar, not one of the strong Caesars, but Caesar. The two gladiators are battling and in the end, they don’t get thumbs up or thumbs down, Caesar finds he lacks any thumbs!

Knowles went on to say that Tammy is broke and often her credit cards don’t work, Neal was quick to remind all that Melissa pays all the bills, rent , lights and water, everything and gives Tammy two grand a month plus pays for the car lease too. Knowles shoots back that she makes “60 to 70? thousand a day and that her kids are “destitute” and that Tammy’s credit card is often declined. For many in the court that did not seem to be “destitute” and after nine years together playing house. So now my question is do you still really want to have all the rights of “straight” people? Along with the right to marriage, welcome to the world of DIVORCE and family law…write a song about that! The Neal Hershes and Stephen Knowles of the world will be happy to sing backup.

NOTE: We love the gems John J. Nazarian picks up in the court house and then shares them on Desperate Exes.com with the rest of us that t are not in Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

Before Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich trial starts on August 2, 2010, Rose Speaks.com is going to complete Dr. Cyril H. Wecht and Dawna Kaufmann two chapters from A Question of Murder” with interviews with both authors. We have been able to verify that Dr. Khristine Eroshevich is on her fourth set of criminal lawyers. The latest one is suppose to be of the Phil Specter “fame”, Bradley Brunon, and we all know how that ended up for Specter, but when Brunon represented Specter, the first go around he was able to get a hung jury for Specter. That said our independent source said; “Bradley Brunon, you may know that name from Phil Spector’s first trial and he certainly is an excellent, very accomplished, veteran defense attorney”.

July 12, 2010 Howard K. Stern’s Notice of Unavailability for ANY hearings any party sets that he=lawyers for him also or for trial from August 1, 2010 through October 15, 2010. Yes this will cause all of the discovery hearings that Stern’s attorneys have to be present, depositions, and will move the trial back to probably close to the end of the year. Stern’s lawyers are going through the August 6, 2010 hearing so if his Special Appearance is granted he will be gone. My feeling is that since the articles were read in Texas like the federal court found in that suit, Stern will probably lose this, let’s hope not though.

Howard K. Stern’s Motion to consolidate cases for the alleged defamation and conspiracy and the Breach of Contract case. I am not sure what the statue is on this and will look up what is quoted. I can see the Court handling BOTH cases and allowing the discovery to go for both cases to conserve resources, however Stern already has set for August 6, 2010 as part of the hearing the very Rule 11 Agreement that this breach of contract is regarding. I guess this was a housekeeping Motion to get the same court I am not sure though if you can consolidate one case with 2 parties into a different case with multiple parties.

July 12, 2010 Howard K. Stern Submission ONLY for the Motions filed today to be set for July 26, 2010. Since Arthur did not agree to the Motions, I would think her response will ask for a hearing which will bring everything to a halt until the fall on this Texas case for discovery hearings, and depositions.

July 14, 2010 Virgie Arthur’s Motion for Rehearing En Banc with the First Court of Appeals Opinion released on July 1, 2010 pointing out what Arthur sees as factual errors in that Opinion.

July 14, 2010 Stephens’ Writ of Mandamus denied by the First Court of Appeals. IMO this changes the options available to the defendants who appear to not be covered under the Opinion granting the Writs for Stern and Harris. I notice this denial was handed down by the same panel that granted the other two Writs

I wandered over to Desperate Exes.com today to see if John J. Nazarian had part 3 up on his critique of the trip to Europe, he usually gives us a head’s up if one is coming out but with the trip and all I figured I would just check it out.

Yeppers there is part 3 up and we will bring you all a lead in to that tomorrow.

HOWEVER, what caught my attention right off was that John’s long time friend, Julie, has put up a picture and all it said was “Happy Birthday John and Christian” dated July 9th.

Shes does GREAT graphics for John’s site Desperate Exes.com so we “borrow/swipe” them occasionally to go with a lead in story here on Rose Speaks.com and to date she has never been miffed about that.

Speaking of Julie being miffed, today as a Birthday wish, I am going to share some of the journey of John J. Nazarian and Rose Speaks.com.

I became aware of John J. Nazarian on March 31, 2007 when Rivera Geraldo’s brother, Craig, waylaid him outside a restaurant to try to get a statement about one of his clients. My thought was this is a tough guy you would not want to meet as an enemy in a dark alley. Later that fall of 2007 John did a couple of posts on the old Rose Speaks.com site and of course Rita Cosby put his email out there for the world in her book on Anna Nicole Smith, Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead, but this is NOT about any of that.

I found that John was going to cover the Anthony Pellicano trial, how great I thought a PI covering a defrocked Hollywood Royal PI’s in federal a wire tapping trial. So I approached John via email and that led to me “dealing” with Julie. I found she can tough when it comes to John. I had to do a major presentation, show the numbers Rose Speaks.com got per month, promise how the lead in to John’s article would be done etc. I really was scared of this very tough woman. However if you treat her John right, you are in like glue with her. She became delightful to work with. During the trial one of our guest writers, Sprocket, wrote on her blog about seeing John during the Pellicano trial and mentioned that John was a celebrity in his own right in Hollywood. WOW new information on this guy.

John did cover the Pellicano trial and from there a somewhat email relationship began between John and me. John did several articles and always graciously allowed Rose Speaks.com to ride on his fame and do a lead in and the numbers just went up and the readers it brought in was a whole different crowd then the Anna Nicole Smith articles and papers brought in. These people read and did not post but as I told John and Julie at the end of the day it is about page reads that a blog lives or dies from, not the number of posts.

Then came Hurricane Ike and during that time the loss of our beloved black lab, CJ, and I was distraught beyond words, sobbing with Ken and I huddled like any pet owners that lost their “child”. I sent a simple mass email out that told of our loss and asked that no one call us for the next couple of days to allow us to grieve privately (and because I did not want anyone to know how hard the loss had been for us). About thirty minutes later the phone rang and I was annoyed but picked it up, life and articles for the blog goes on I thought. NOT so, John said simply; “Rose we are going to sit here together and cry together over CJ and share the memories we both have of pets that we loved and lost”; and that is what we did for an hour. John won my heart that day; a $400 an hour PI to the rich and famous gave me an hour and showed me a human none PI side of a fellow pet lover/owner.

That was in August or September 2008, my birthday came in October and John sent me an email and said; “I am not trying to interfere or step on your toes, and I know CJ can never be replaced, but if you want another lab, save one from a shelter or puppy mill and I will pay for it, not as a payment for the writings you helped with lead in articles but as friends with the one condition that no one ever knows about this.” I think John said that because he does not like for his kind side to be exploited or he can’t lose that tough and rough PI image. He ended with, “Hell get two if you want them, keep me posted and take your time”. We found Duke and Thor at a puppy mill, heartbreaking and told John; Duke and Thor promptly came home with us. John asked about them, we sent pictures and kept our word and the world never knew of this side of John, it would not mess up his tough guy Hollywood image or allow anyone to know about this loving gift from a fellow “pet” parent.

Then came the deposition and some stupid did not know shit forum poster on that “T” site had spun a story that the Stern family paid us off with these two darling babies. I called John and told him this might come up in the deposition and what I had read from witness statements. John said; “Well F— (I think you know the words he would have used), tell them the truth Rose at the deposition”. So I told them the truth even before the deposition date and told them that the witness statement they had was not going to stand up under scrutiny with emails from this forum poster or even from phone calls between this “poster” and me. In other words their witness had no credibility and it would be easy to prove.

So today on John and Chris’ birthday we offer them our heartfelt congratulations, Chris is a great son and I have been lucky enough to talk to both of John’s sons at times. Chris had to walk his dad through what a Jpeg was from a digital camera and Chris is the one that emailed us the pictures of John by his limousine covering the Pellicano Trial we asked for. I could tell from the tone I heard between Chris and his dad, John, the love that abounded in their home and the ability to kid his dad, and John loving every second of it.

John is rough and tough and a mighty adversary when it comes to his representation of his clent, but if you are lucky enough to get a look beyond that, he has a gentle giant side when his heart is touched.

Happy Birthday John and Chris, from our home to your home and thank you so much for what you have given to both Rose Speaks.com and to us personally.
