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!

At what point did Gerald say “Tough Shi%@*!”? I remember Ford Shelley appearing on Greta Van Susteren’s On The Record on Fox numerous times beginning shortly after the break in of Horizons with copies of tapes, pictures, emails etc. I believe I remember that Ford Shelley and his wife Gina even invited Greta Van Susteren’s on a tour of their home in South Carolina proudly showing it off and which rooms Anna Nicole Smith her son Daniel Smith and Howard K. Stern had stayed in during the Christmas holidays of 2005. Didn’t Shelley and his family, Laurie Payne and didn’t even Ben Thompson appear on at least of one of Geraldo’s shows? Then there is the March 31, 2007 hour long show that towards the end Ford Shelley told Howard K. Stern to “Bring it on”, I guess Lin Wood took Shelley up on that and it would appear if Shelley’s deposition is to be believed that Shelley cried like a baby to try to keep Geraldo from showing some tape on one of the shows, would that be the Oct. 2007 show? I also remember Shelley saying smugly that Howard [K. Stern] would be surprise when he learned how many copies of the hard drives had been made and who had them. I guess that surprise is now NOT one.

So is Ford Shelley and father-in-law G. Ben Thompson throwing one of their attorneys Susan M. Brown under the bus or would that be an eighteen wheeler?

Ford Shelley refers to both Danny Santiago, his boss lady, Ford Shelley and “for him, [Shelly], Susan Brown. Frankly I don’t see anything wrong with that, would most people who could afford an attorney have one present during a recorded statement to be used by the California DOJ or the California Bureau of Narcotics. It appears from Shelley’s June 2, 2009 deposition that is what he is saying and that it was Susan Brown and not one of his criminal attorneys he asked to be present during that taped statement.

Ford Shelley goes on to say he “avoid Agent Santiago calls until his lawyer Tommy Brittain told Shelley that he “needed to meet with [Santiago]” …”My lawyer in Florida set it up.” Both lawyers were top criminal attorneys that Shelley retained right after arriving back in the U. S. from Horizons after Anna Nicole Smith’s death. Mr. Brittain if I remember correctly went with Shelley to turn in the items taken from Horizons to the Horry County Sheriff’s department on the afternoon of February 12, 2007 and it was Shelley’s attorney in Florida, Walter “Skip” Campbell, Esq., if I am not mistaken that talked Dr. Perper into holding up the autopsy results to late in March 2007 on Smith pending that Shelley wanted Dr. Perper to look at some evidence on some computer that Shelley and his Florida attorney thought would implicate Howard K. Stern and that was all in Feb. and March 2007.

What is up with this tape of Ben Thompson on Fox about being a pedophile that Neil McCabe allegedly called about and then wanted to talk to Shelley about “did I [Shelley] find the tape?” What tape is Shelley referring to in this part of his deposition? That last conversation with McCabe occurred two weeks or mid May 2009 with Shelley if Shelley’s memory was finely alert enough to remember who and when he talked to any of these people. Before that it had been about a year ago, [May 2008], when “they came to town. ..John O’Quinn, Neil McCabe, Don Clark and WV [and] “that was to see the Clown Video”. Didn’t Ford Shelley appear at the burial proceedings in February 2007 as a witness for O’Quinn and didn’t Shelley authenticate and offer into evidence a segment of that now infamous clown video?

Some of the other highlights from Ford Shelley excerpt of his deposition on June 2, 2009 that caught by eye are the following:

“I didn’t feel comfortable…. I didn’t feel comfortable just in general. I mean, I didn’t – other than that meeting they [Neil McCabe, Don Clark and WV], asked to speak. Susan Brown set it up. … [Meeting] lasted a couple of hours maybe.” … There was nothing to tell. My issue through all of this is just about ownership of the house, not — not being drug into accusing anybody of anything because I have no knowledge of that. My issue is with the house and I don’t want to be involved in the other parts of this thing….on October the 27th of 07, on Geraldo’s show, which — I said it, Anna — when Geraldo referred to Anna in her drunken stupor and those things, it upset me. And I even clarified him and said, “No, she wouldn’t have done anything to her my child ever”, okay? and I know that. …and Howard is — he’s cold hearted. …I’m mad that it’s been drawn out this… My bitch is about the money I spent for the house and I’m being drug into these other things and what I found used against others and I don’t like it. ..No, but I’m going to say this. If she thought it was in our best interest, [Ms. Brown handing over copies of tapes to be copied], or she was served, then she has my authority to release it if that was required. …”

Here are some of the highlights that caught my eye from Ford Shelley’s excerpt of his deposition on June 3, 2009:

(Q) Did you tell Larry Birkhead that you would not return the clown video to him because it showed your daughter Riley on it and so you were therefore asserting ownership of the clown video?

(A) I told Larry Birkhead that — yes, Sir, I did…Because I meant it and I said it. And I turned it over to the California Department of Justice when I was required.

(Q) Have you talked wit her [Susan M. Brown], about why she would have given Don Clark of Neil McCabe or Anna Nicole Smith’s hard drive so that they could copy those hard drives?

(A) I called her yesterday and asked her. …She said it was part of a lawsuit that was in — with Virgie Arthur. And I told her that I don’t know and I don’t remember — I haven’t signed anything agreeing to be a party to a lawsuit. And she said “Well, I have to find out,” I said, “I *wasn’t*

(Q) So this was news to you, what she told you yesterday?

(A) You floored me yesterday, sir. … Your damn right. I didn’t know it. .. I did not know it. …So I had to back up and regroup and say, you know what, he was right to feel what he feels. His feelings are right too. He’s got feelings. And how he is taking this in matters. And I just don’t look at myself anymore. I’ve got to look at how he sees it, how I see it, but what really is the truth, and the truth is in the eyes of the beholder. There’s a happy medium. He wasn’t wrong and neither was I. We both said and did things. Truce I’m ready to go on…”

Is the “he” that Ford Shelley is talking about Howard K. Stern? If it is Howard K. Stern how will this deposition compare with the taped interview with Agent Danny Santiago? If the “he” is Howard K. Stern, how could this deposition and this last statement help or hurt the California criminal charges?

I was going to try to get this all in one article but there is just way too much. I suggest you pick up all eighteen documents filed on Monday as listed below and I will have Part 2 tomorrow which will be G. Ben Thompson and his son Gaither.
