This morning, I went to the preliminary hearing at the court building in downtown LA. When I arrived at the courts, out front was a small group of press awaiting for the arrivals of the Anna Nicole Smith Players (Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroschevich, and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor). I was kind of shocked at how little interest there seemed to be from the media judging by how many were there. When I started to walk to the building, I was shot by paparazzi and TMZ did a quick interview with me. TMZ asked me what my thoughts were on all of this and so on, and at the end asked me if I was sporting an Anna Nicole Smith type of hairstyle today, and I was like “Of Course!” LOL!

When I got inside the building the line to go through the security check was unbelievably long. While I was waiting in line, Dr. Khristine Eroschevich and John J. Nazarian were entering the building as flashbulbs from the press blinded them. They ended up behind me in line at the security check in. I noticed right away that Dr. Khris muted her blond color with lowlites, and she was wearing a brown skirt suit and quite high “wedgie” platform heeled slingback shoes.

When I got to the floor where the “preliminary” was being heard, I once again had to go through another “security check”. When I made it through the check, I entered the floor only to see Howard K. Stern directly in front of me, standing alone with his hands clasped in front of him in front of the court room doors, and we made direct eye contact with one another. Then his “legal” team, led by Steve Sadow with J. Chris Smith, arrived and he went into the court room with them.

Dr. Khris and John J. Nazarian were next to arrive on the floor and Dr. Khris gave me a sweet hello, as well as John. Then everyone was to be in the courtroom and take their seats, Dr. Khris with her attorney, Adam Braun, and Dr. Kapoor with his attorney, Ellyn Garafalo Esq.! Someone said to one of the reporters in reference to Larry Birkhead, and if he will arrive…”If there is a camera, Larry will show up!”

It was a small courtroom, very nicely air-conditioned, and I was happy about that! There may have been about 20 people that were attending this preliminary hearing, not counting Howard K Stern, Dr. Kris, and Dr. Kapoor, who were all seated in front of California Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry, with the legal teams. Today Howard K. Stern was not seated at the table with everyone else today he was seated behind them, to the right, with a “slumped over” posture.

The Preliminary Hearing started with inquiries as to why the Nannies haven’t returned calls to the defense attorneys, and Judge Perry said “They don’t have to”, and quickly wanted to move forward. He didn’t want to hear that the Nannies’ couldn’t afford to call in or “phone card” ideas, or even “collect calls”.

Steve Sadow was reprimanded and asked to delete a photograph from his cell phone from Judge Perry, so it wouldn’t end up on the internet, and Mr. Sadow said he would. Nazarian and a reporter, whom said he was from CNN, were almost kicked out of the courtroom for having an outburst of emotion from something said that they didn’t agree with, and Judge Perry made it “very” clear that there were to be none of that behavior allowed or they would be cleared out of the courtroom. Judge Perry was blood red when he reprimanded them.

Then, in walks Maurice “Big Mo” Brighthaupt who took to the witness stand once again. “Big Mo” was wearing a black plaid suit with a siren red shirt. The colors in the courtroom were very drab, and Mo’s red shirt was the only thing that kept my eyes entertained.

When “Big Mo’ started to answer questions that were “ricocheted” at him, he answered mostly ever question, it seemed, honestly and heartfelt. His temperament throughout was very even. In no way was “Big Mo” condescending or rude at all. Standing at six foot six, he at one point of the preliminary had to stand up from sitting in the witness box because his legs were cramping from being in such a small area. Judge Perry said he could stand if he wanted, but I feel that Big Mo was too polite to go against the grain.

The statements that were made from “Big Mo” regarding Anna Nicole were very sad. To hear that Anna Nicole Smith almost drowned in the pool at Horizon’s, and the way Big Mo told it, made my heart cry. It seemed that after Daniel died, Anna was very very depressed and slept a lot of her days away, plus was on heavy medication. Big Mo said she went to the pool one day and was going to go into her floater so she could relax, but Anna went outside “unsupervised” and Big Mo said they heard a big splash in the house. Stern told Big Mo to go and check on Anna, and Big Mo was saying that Anna was already at the bottom of the pool, under 7 or 8 feet of water, so Big Mo dove in to save her. He said Anna defecated herself when she was under the water. Big Mo also stated that he got Anna out of the pool and gave her CPR, and water came out of her mouth. He also said that Anna had defecated herself sometimes while she was sleeping, etc, and that the house people used to talk angrily about it because they didn’t want to clean up after her.

Also Big Mo told the courtroom of how he used to have to whisper to people so Anna couldn’t hear. He would have secret sessions with Dr. Khris, etc, in another room. He said that Anna would “explode” if she knew people were talking. Also he stated that if Howard K Stern found out of the whisperings, sometimes Big Mo and Dr. Khris, Howard would run to Anna and “tattle” on them.

Judge Perry said at one point regarding the silly questions being asked by assistant D. A. Renee Rose, “This is a preliminary hearing not a trial, to see if there is probable cause exists, not a circus sideshow!”

Big Mo talked about the Anna that no one really saw except for the people close to her at this time. He spoke about her deep depression after Daniel’s death, how she was a “manipulator”, her moods, and her medications she was taking. Pills would be on a tray that she would take, that either she or Howard laid out for her. He also stated that Larry Birkhead gave Anna Nicole Smith “Ecstasy” one time when she was going to the World Music Awards. He also said that Anna was drinking Crystal at the same time.

Big Mo talked about boxes, Fed Ex size, that had medications in them that he would bring to her from California. Big Mo did say that Dr. Kapoor was never in the Bahamas, and Dr. Kapoor was grinning after he heard that statement.

Another issue was brought up in reference to Anna Nicole Smith and Dr. Khris’ relationship; Were they lovers? This idea was toyed with for quite a bit, and Dr. Khris’ face was contorting in such a way, and looked to me like she was trying hard not to say anything in her defense. Judge Perry said in reference to this allegation., “What does that have to do with it?” He wanted to drop the subject, but one Renee Rose said that another witness brought this up, and that this relationship may have made Anna more accessible to drugs, per se.

Another sad story told by Big Mo was that Anna was in Vegas another time and had gotten a 105 degree fever and flu like symptoms. Big Mo wanted to get Anna to the hospital but said that Dr. Khris, Alex (Dr. Khris’ friend), and Howard K Stern wanted to put Anna into a cold bath with ice, and the three of them did. Big Mo was saying that someone with an extreme temperature shouldn’t have such a sudden change in temp, it should be gradual. Big Mo said Anna refused to go to the hospital because she feared the paparazzi would be there when she arrived.

Big Mo actually got a little sentimental at one point and wiped his left eye, and said he sometimes felt he blamed himself for Anna’s demise.

Big Mo said that Howard K Stern had “suicidal thoughts” when Anna died.

Another subject was “Spoons”. Big Mo said because there was a spoon that was burnt on the bottom, and if you take Vitamin B12, there is no need to heat it up. Anna’s use of Chloral Hydrate was also in discussion. Plus, the fact that Anna at times was taking “Placebo’s”.

Steve Sadow, Stern’s lead attorney, must have had a hundred “I Object’s”, he was like a puppet that kept going up and down from his seat! At one point during the preliminary hearing, one reporter looked like they were taking a little nap, but woke up in a few minutes, LOL! Most of us here covering this hearing felt like we were intruding on something very private, I was sitting next to the ET reporter, Kevin Frazier, and the AP gold standard reporter, Linda Deutsch was sitting in front of me. I found that almost in unison we would turn to look at the clock I for one felt like we each wanted to be somewhere else and not prying into this very private world of Anna Nicole Smith.

Unfortunately, I had to leave early; too much Apple Pie will make you throw up, get my drift? Although, I wish it was Apple Pie!

Anna Nicole took some of the most beautiful pictures during her days, but hearing all of this testimony left you with a picture that was not so pretty. So I left early with a tear and a heavy heart I just could not stay any longer.

Court started at 8:30 AM this morning, October 15, 2009 on day three of the preliminary hearing in Los Angeles California. First up is the cross examination by defense attorney Steve Sadow of yesterday’s star prosecution witness, Maurice, “Big Mo” Brighthaupt. That has been listed by many court observer as taking up the full morning for the most part.

After lunch the question is will Larry Birkhead, appear, he will be pro Howard K. Stern but might be hostile to Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Eroshevich. Adam Braun, attorney for Eroshevich, said he might attempt to have Birkhead’s testimony postponed because he had just received an audio tape from the state of Birkhead’s interview with them and has not had time to fully examine it.

The state is keeping their cards close as to what witnesses will be appearing on which days. There are hints around the courthouse that Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry may shut down the preliminary hearing early next week. He is showing some impatience often heard saying, “This is not murder trial” and “Whose fault is it that somebody takes too many pills?”

I keep going back to why a public preliminary hearing which is a basic walk through preview of what might come up at trial, in lieu of a Grand Jury which the outcome would have been a finding of enough evidence to go to trial. They both, I am told, end up at the same place so why this, and not the close door hearing?

Maurice, “Big Mo” Brighthaupt, one of Anna Nicole Smith’s body guards, I am told by one court observer, came across as very believable and would be hard to shake from his testimony yesterday. Let’s see how this plays out with Steve Sadow, Howard K. Stern’s lead attorney who took charge first thing this morning.

We don’t know if Don Clark is still in California as a “material hostile witness” for Howard K. Stern, but Neil McCabe is now back in Houston to our understanding. However, we have not been able to confirm that. Neil McCabe we can now confirm was not in court yesterday and has not been seen in court today. We have now been able to confirm for you that both Don Clark and Neil McCabe are back in Houston today.

LOS ANGELES — The AP is reporting that; “A judge has barred testimony about an alleged sexual relationship between Anna Nicole Smith and a female doctor accused of providing her with excessive medication.” Prosecutors attempted to question Smith’s former bodyguard Thursday about an alleged relationship between the late model and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry shut down the line of questioning, saying he didn’t think it was relevant.

UPDATE ONE AND BOMBSHELL ONE FOR TODAY: Maurice, “Big Mo” Brighthaupt is still testifying for the prosecution and has stated it was Larry Birkhead that furnished Anna Nicole Smith with Ecstasy and champagne to wash it down, at the Music awards in 2004. Mo further testified that every time he took the champagne away from Anna Nicole, Birkhead replaced it with a new glass full. It will be later today before Steve Sadow, Stern’s lawyer can try to chip away at that. What will this do to the “boy next door” image of Dannielynn’s father? The court is out on it’s morning break right now and it appears that at least one more Assistant D. A. is coming into court with notes if not to remain for testimony following the break.

UPDATE TWO: Good chance that Larry Birkhead will not testify today. As Maurice “Big Mo” Brighthaupt continues his slamming of all of the defendants except Dr. Kapoor, it appears the defense is not going to get a chance to question him today. This day has been consumed for the most part by Assistant D. A. Renee Rose ongoing examination of “Big Mo”. If Steve Sadow begins today he will not finish today, which pushes Birkhead back to testifying tomorrow, if he appears at all. Why is the sensationalized site of TMZ.com not carrying anything about “Big Mo” testifying today against Birkhead and the drugs swigged down with champagne or for that matter his apparent willingness to testify against Dr. Eroshevich about her alleged possible affair with Anna Nicole Smith? However, at other times it seems that “Big Mo” wants to then take up for Dr. Eroshevich at times in his testimony saying she was concerned for Smith also and even gave Smith placebos.

UPDATE THREE: Larry Birkhead is in the courthouse, briefly walked into the court room and then just left again, not sure why. Stay tune we don’t know if Mo’s cross examination is finished and if so what Sadow was able or willing to do without showing his full hand before the trial which is now predicted to being going to start in February or March 2010, still trying to verify that.

UPDATE LAST FOR TODAY: “Big Mo” will be back on the witness stand tomorrow morning for redirect examination by L. A. assistant D. A. Renee Rose; that is expected to last for 1 to 1 & 12/ hours. That will be followed by Larry Birkhead beginning at about 10 AM tomorrow on day four of the Howard K. Stern, Dr. Kapoop and Dr. Dr. Eroshevich.

Keep up with Rose Speaks throughout the day tomorrow as we bring you the up to minute happening in California in the Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich preliminary hearing, we have several court watchers rotating in and out of the court room giving us the feel of the court, I am sure each one will have that person’s personal take of this.

This will be only a half day session from 8:00 AM to noon in the California Court where the Preliminary hearing is being held for Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich.

Witness of the State of California expected to be called today is first a toxicologist to explain the interactions of Anna Nicole Smith’s various prescriptions medication and the way the interact and to firm up the state’s case that any prudent doctor would have known Smith was taking a lethal combination of prescriptions. We have now learned from the AP this morning that the toxicologist is Dr. Harold Schueler, the Broward County coroner’s chief toxicologist. He testified under cross examination by one of Stern’s attorneys that; “Anna Nicole Smith’s poor health in her final weeks may have complicated her reactions to drugs prescribed by doctors now facing charges. He confirmed that Smith was suffering from a bacterial infection before she died. He said in court today that could have affected her sensitivity to drugs she received for pain, anxiety and sleeplessness.”

Also scheduled is the body guard Maurice Brighthaupt, “Big Moe” and Larry Birkhead, although Adam Braun, attorney for Dr. Eroshevich says he will ask that Birkhead testimony be postponed because he had only recently received an audio tape of the interview that State Investigators had with Larry Birkhead about the prescription drugs and the drug use of Dannielynn’s mother, Anna Nicole Smith.

Big Moe, Maurice Brighthaupt, Anna Nicole Smith’s body guard for several years has just laid out today’s bombshell in court and now has the press running to get cameras in place and TMZ to start rolling live coverage outside of the court room. I have been told he is coming across very credible by one court observer and has been on the stand about an hour. Moe is testifying that he saw Howard K. Stern in the bathroom “cooking up drugs in a spoon” and then injecting them into Anna Nicole Smith, more on this as we find out, and everyone thought this would be a dull half day testimony.

In a Houston court this morning one of Virgie Arthur’s attorney,Tom Pirtle, and Wilma Vicedomine are expected to ask a judge to stay the subpoenas for them to testify in the preliminary hearing as “hostile witnesses” for Howard K. Stern. We will keep you posted as to how this turns out as well. I have been told that the team for Ms. Arthur sees this as harassment to keep anyone from her team out of the court where now they can not observe the court proceedings to let her know as she remained in Texas how the Preliminary hearing is progressing. We have now been able to verify that Don Clark, Tom Pirtle, one of Virgie Arthur’s attorneys and Wilma Vicedomine will be present for court in California on Tuesday, October 20. The strange thing about that is that there is NO COURT on Wednesday, October 21, so could that be a vacation day for these three witnesses being called by Howard K. Stern’s legal team?

We do not know where Neil McCabe and Don Clark are today or if Don Clark has been asked to stay over to testify later in the week in the preliminary hearing as we get information on that we will keep you updated.

Expect today to go for the state and the prosecutors after a jerky start yesterday, I predict Renee Rose will make a quick come back today and now she has had time to study the defense lawyers strategies and each of their style in this Preliminary Hearing. Danny Santiago is now finished setting the frame work for the rest of the state’s witnesses.

Several court observers said yesterday that Ms. Barth was back and in tight pants again with the gallery of about 65 people getting a good look at the pants riding up in the crack of her behind. Someone should tell her to get a size bigger and to be aware of what she looks at to the gallery which are the majority of who is in the courtroom. Ms. Barth was also described as hugging and “hanging off” of Neil McCabe before the hearing started yesterday.

FINAL UPDATE FOR OCTOBER 14 IN STATE OF CALIFORNIA VS. HOWARD K. STERN AND THE TWO DOCTORS

Tomorrow will be the cross-examination of Big Moe, Maurice Brighthaupt, Anna Nicole Smith’s one time body guard. Following that will be Larry Birkhead who just recently gave the state a statement on the record that the state has now turned over that tape to the defense. It is predicted that the whole day will be taken up by just these two witnesses. One of our court observers said Stern looked like he wish he was dead, another observer said he just shook his head no, bit his nails and wrote on a legal pad.

Court will resume tomorrow at 8:30 AM, wonder if we should expect a new bombshell daily in all of this?

Keep up with Rose Speaks throughout tomorrow as we bring you the up to minute happening in California in the Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich hearing, we have several court watchers rotating in and out of the court room giving us the feel of the court, I am sure each one will have that person’s personal take of this.

Will keep you updated as we get information on the case throughout today.

TMZ.com had a picture of Dr. Kapoor and Dr. Eroshevich arriving but Howard K. Stern had already arrived and was inside out of the TMZ.com camera spot light.

Court started at 8:30 AM, Virgie Arthur is not there but Neil McCabe is there and Don Clark WAS there…

The first thing to happen is Don Clark was handed a Subpoena as a “Hostile Witness” by Howard K. Stern’s legal team WHY??? It has barred him from the court room as an observer, now that is NOT going to play well. However Neil McCabe is able to observe and is there by himself.

The first witness up at 8:30 AM was Danny Santiago, first they are going through each pill, number and type which is very Boring we are told and as of 10 AM PDT, Mr. Santiago was still on the stand.

Update following lunch, now Steve Sadow, the attorney from out of town that many said might be a mistake on Howard K Stern’s part is now having his turn cross examining Danny Santiago and is making this lead investigator for AG Brown and the state of California, look like “Bozo the clown”, it would appear Mr. Santiago should have been prepared a tad better by the assistant D. A. It is not Santiago’s fault and he juggles multiple cases and court appearance but on the side of Santiago, I would be a tad upset at the Assistant D. A. for this case, if not after 2 years then when??? I have been told this is the most interesting part of this first day. It WILL NOT change the outcome but is interesting is what I have been told.

Last update tonight. I won’t be calling Steve Sadow the ride him up cowboy in the future, I have been told by one of our court watchers that he meticulously “sliced and diced Danny Santiago”, not my words but a court watcher’s opinion who felt sorry for Santiago. Then he, Santiago, was handed off to Adam Braun who has a different style but gets the job done. This is not the place or the time to pick a fight or show your cards. I have been told by one of the court watchers that Agent Danny Santiago would look at his notes for up to 3 to 4 minutes with NO ANSWER. One observer told me he, [Santiago], could have been looking at a blank piece of paper trying to figure his way out of the questions.

The AP in it’s final reporting tonight that “under cross-examination by Sadow, Santiago recounted a conversation he had with Arredando about her impressions of Smith. Reading from Santiago’s report, Sadow quoted Arredando as saying, “She was always the boss. She was in control of everything and everyone, everyone that traveled with her. When Sadow asked if that included Stern, Santiago said he believed it did. Santiago acknowledged that Arredando was also asked if Smith’s “ditzyness” was an act and that Arredando said yes”.

Here are some facts from today: 1. Anna Nicole Smith was sick when they left the Bahamas, she was already very ill which is why the baby bottle was brought to keep her hydrated. Fact: 2. The private plane was suppose to go to Fort Lauderdale per testimony at the burial proceedings, why did the plane end up in Miami instead? As Ken said in this day and age to go off course without filing a flight plan with a private plane is just NOT DONE any more. So why was Anna Nicole Smith taken to Miami first was it because she was so ill? Why would she not go to the hospital in the Bahamas or in Miami or in Fort Lauderdale that statement by Ms. Gibson of feeling she was seeing Anna Nicole leave for the last time might have more meaning as this case begins to fit together like a puzzle, what to you think? Fact: 3. Anna Nicole was driven over an hour in a limousine from Miami to the Hard Rock Hotel on the Seminole Indian Reservation. Fact: Dr. Dr. Eroshevich knew she needed a local doctor on the night they arrived, February 5, 2007, and call the Hard Rock front desk for guest relations and spoke with Lisa Arredando and asked her to find one discreetly and have him come look at Anna Nicole Smith. Fact: 4. Howard K. Stern called and canceled calling in a doctor stating fear of leaks to the media.

People I end up with more questions then answers. So my question to all of you who followed Anna Nicole Smith, could she have been this sick before leaving the Bahamas and still be calling the shots because she wanted to pick up that BOAT, I believe back in February 2007 that Howard K. Stern and she had canceled one or two times what made this trip different? Do any of you remember that and/or know anything from your own research?

Last FINAL REAL LAST update tonight. Don Clark, Wilma Vicedomine and Tom Pirtle were all served today and tonight the last one has just been delivered to Houston to the home of Wilma Vicedomine “stating” in the Subpoena that all of them are to be in the California court on October 14, 2009 for the defense as hostile witnesses. Folks this is going to get GOOD as for as court room theatrics goes…

One observer today had this Prediction, that Renee Rose will be replaced by the L. A. D. A. office by Thursday, we were not able to reach Miss Rose or a get a statement from the court spokesperson this late in the day. At this point the big question for me is why is Jerry Brown via the L. A. D. A. going for such a public preliminary hearing? As I said before you can get a grand jury to indict on a ham and cheese sandwich so why go this way and allow the defense to get a “feel” for the witnesses? That is the $64k question for tonight?

Keep up with Rose Speaks throughout tomorrow as we bring you the up to minute happening in California in the Howard K. Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich hearing, we have several court watchers rotating in and out of the court room giving us the feel of the court, I am sure each one will have that person’s personal take of this.

Have any of you seen a transcript or tape of any of the defense lawyers interviews that occurred during the lunch break today?

Do I believe that Howard K. Stern murdered Daniel Wayne Smith or Anna Nicole Smith a/k/a Vickie Lynn Marshall, NO! Have I been asked to keep an open mind as new charges come in and, in my opinion, could prove to be much worse or some potentially very harmful little white lies; yes I have and I will! Let me say doing something stupid DOES NOT add up to murder, not even in Texas.

In papers filed this past Wednesday, September 23, 2009, the State of California continues to add felony charges in the case of State of California vs. Howard K. Stern, the question is why???

Possible answer could be, he needs an image consultant and he needs one NOW! With all of the image conscious people surrounding Howard K. Stern, why has none of them either hired or loan Stern one? If anything, other then the little white lies, get Stern convicted it will be the arrogance he portrays in pictures and probably none of the actual charges. Stern needs to know this is not a red carpet event he often attended with Anna Nicole Smith, but a black carpet event that could lead right to a locked jail cell.

Talking about getting Stern an image consultant, look what one did for Lori Drew, got rid of the bleach blond hair, soften her clothes, darken her hair and gave her a soft humble look. Why has no one been signed up YET to do this for Stern?

We have 185 pages in new affidavits, although some of it comes from the fruit of the poisonous tree. That would be those pesky stolen computers that Danny Santiago has to know the truth about by now not to mention the external hard drive. All of them Ford Shelley passed around to everyone and their dog just about and then bragged on Geraldo’s show on March 31, 2007. Remember Shelley saying “Howard will be surprise how many people have copies”, well that surprise is the one that keeps on giving if there are any more hidden around anywhere. I am not sure how the state of California will get the goodies from those into evidence, and perhaps they will not, nor will they need them to sink their target Stern in the end, he seems to be helping them.

In my opinion, it will be the pharmacies that the three investigators, Danny Santiago, Jon Genens and Jennifer Doss listed in declarations, stating they were very significant in their investigations that might sink Stern and not the stolen computers and hard drives. I would think Shelley will have no credibility left and that can toss out just about everything but the actual pharmacy records and the affidavits of experts like Jill Klessig. It does not help that pharmacists remembered and accounted tales of “drugs amounted to pharmaceutical suicide”; Stern “billed as an aider and abettor”; Kapoor’s “list of patients who were addicts” and his increased of drug prescribing for Anna Nicole Smith after Kapoor bought the medical practice from Smith’s retiring previous doctor. With headlines of; “Four doctors; nine aliases, and at least 44 different medications including methadone, two types of sedatives, muscle relaxants and “hospital heroin” painkillers”, how much more can this ship hold before it becomes the Titanic for Stern?

As the case emerges it is shaping up that Dr. Sandeep Kapoor is a “doctor feel good”, just look at all of the ex-patients and current ones being interviewed and charts not only being read but recited in these new unsealed Search Warrants and Declarations. None of which is going to bode well for Kapoor at trial. Howard K. Stern is called a” master manipulator”, allegations of being a control freak, and now comes those little white lies piling up. Add to those facts that every picture of Stern recently makes him look arrogant. He needs to look humble and not guilty. Notice the change in Dr. Khristine Eroshevich; she is surrounded by her protectors, Adam Braun and Private Investigator John J. Nazarian. Stern needs a little less Georgia cowboy and a tad more of below the radar. However, rumors of the brilliance of Chris Smith, who is Stern’s California lawyer but seems to be getting drown out by Steve Sadow, making Chris Smith look like he is only the day pass for Steve Sadow’s court appearances as the self toting “lead attorney”. Unless that is the game plan to have Sadow as the “P. R. person”, the spin doctor some would say, and have the brilliance of Chris Smith doing the work and hopefully saving his client in spite of his client’s actions.

In spite of his, [Stern’s], actions you ask? Well with Judge Chin’s recent ruling dated September 22, 2009 showing it was Howard K. Stern, of Lin Wood fame whom Wood often quoting that “sunlight is the best disinfectant” for the truth in defamation cases, only it is Stern and not Rita Cosby that was fighting to keep part of HIS deposition sealed not to mention another eleven (11) pages of Entertainment Tonight contracts. I thought the three pages accidentally filed by McNamara on Dec. 15, 2008 was bad what could these new eleven pages in contracts, amounts paid to Stern and money wired documents hold? They are due out on or by October 12, just one day before the criminal preliminary hearing in California starts. My take on reading Judge Chin’s ruling is these are NOT about the memorial service for Anna Nicole Smith with rights sold to ET, but personal contracts with Stern himself from ET.

Here is the scorecard as I see it today. Dr. Eroshevich, in spite of Danny Santiago’s detail description of some naughty photos, is really going to turn out as her attorney Adam Braun describes her. She was a next door neighbor, turned good friend or some would say from the descriptions of those three photos “very good friend”, turned Good Samaritan doctor after Anna Nicole Smith’s son, Daniel died. Dr. Eroshevich probably could teach a class in trusting equals stupidity 101, but never intentionally harming a patient, is my guess. Let’s remember she is the one who went to Dr. Perper and GAVE him the information to unravel the cause of death of Anna Nicole, let’s hope he is there for her when she needs him. A doctor can be convicted of just stupidity and if that happens in this case I will be sad. Dr. Kapoor is going to have an uphill battle fighting the “Anna Nicole Smith’s Drug Lord” label, as well as the “doctor feel good image” which is emerging out of all of those patient records and interviews which is beginning to draw a diagram for us. Howard K. Stern, well let’s just say he needs a major image consultant, remember the courtroom is a stage, and this will be the most important stage production Stern will ever star in. Spend the money, buy an image consultant and throw in a couple of good courtroom acting classes, a refresher so to say from law school.

Now could Anna Nicole and Stern have used Dr. Khris, it could be good for her if the answer is yes, however that will look horrid for Stern. Stern needs to MOVE away from Kapoor and not be seen talking so much to Kapoor, as the news heard around the world reported on the hearing from this past Wednesday, September 23. Take a lesson from Dr. Khris move away from the other defendants and look humble, learn to say “I need to look humble, and am I looking humble” internally to himself a thousand times during any future hearings.

With all of this we then add that Larry Birkhead is once again getting face and name coverage as a witness in the upcoming criminal preliminary hearing AGAINST Stern and the doctors, now why does that NOT surprise me. Ah Birkhead, perhaps you could give Stern some lessons, not on that good ole boy image Debra Opri helped Birkhead with, but as a smart and yet so very humble attorney, which is what Stern desperately needs to be seen as right now, HUMBLE!!!.

Speaking of Birkhead could his name be floating out there as a witness for the state because of the Texas state lawsuit more of us do NOT want to be in with Stern, Birkhead and company OR could Birkhead be looking to jump a potential sinking ship and find some way to get Stern and then Ron Rale off as the Executors of Smith’s Estate. What a problem that could be, to get rid of the existing line of executors to gain more control of Smith’s potential estate for Dannielynn, that might just open the door a tad wider for Texas.

So many twists and turns, right when you think nothing else can happen then multiple things all at once hit, it seems to me that Anna Nicole Smith is more popular and still as sensational an alleged mess in death as some say she was in life. All of this could not be worse in timing for Stern if additional charges and those little white, ever growing Pinocchio nose, fibs out of New York add up to even a bigger headache for Stern on or before October 12, 2009.

Another thing I have noticed, Dr. Eroshevich, one private investigator, John J. Nazarian, one lawyer, Adam Braun; Dr. Sandeep Kapoor don’t know who his private investigator is, or if he has one, his lawyer, only one, Ellyn Gerafalo. Then there is Howard K. Stern, four lawyers and who knows how many if any private investigators, but it does not look as if they have added an image consultant to his mix yet; PLEASE get Stern an image consultant, remember the name of the game at this point is HUMBLE. One has to wonder if Chris Smith is resentful that his reputation might be tarnished in his future by being the “pass” into the courtroom for Steve Sadow, lead attorney and spin doctor from Atlanta Georgia, probably Lin Wood’s golfing buddy. Stern’s team is rounded out with Lin Wood and Ms. Barth whom are both civil litigators now turned criminal specialists. When TMZ.com is the one that gives Steve Sadow the most “press time” following a hearing, knowing how they love clowns, one must ask was Bozo booked for Wednesday!
