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.

There are more papers due out today, November 30, 2009 in South Carolina from G. Ben Thompson on the Motion for Contempt and for Sanctions based of his previous attorney, Susan M. Brown’s acts allegedly on his behalf.

Gathier Thompson III, Melodie Thompson, Gaither’s wife, and Gina Thompson Shelley all have Responses to the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith adding them as parties in place of the “Doe” names.

As I read over the papers filed by Susan M. Brown last week I found myself amazed as I always seem to be when it comes to the antics and ever changing lawyers from the South Carolina group of players.

In papers filed last week in the South Carolina Federal Court, Ms. Brown says she was on board with the Horizon’s dispute in the Bahamas from day one in 2006. However it appears if that is true that her clients were not straight up about the happenings in the Bahamas. If Brown’s allegations about her clients prove true in court then they appear to have made sure she missed some memos and certainly some major media news articles. If I remember correctly G. Ben Thompson has dropped all claims to Horizons and is now suing the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith (Dannielynn Birkhead), Howard K. Stern, and the lawyers Tracy Ferguson and Michael Scott. The time line for Ms. Brown being kept in the loop and the liaison between her clients and the attorneys in the Bahamas appear not to include Thompson’s attorney in January 2007, Knowles, at the news conference in the picture with this article and there is certainly nothing from Pro Pinder the current attorney in Brown’s filings. Both were attorneys in the Bahamas for Shelley and Thompson after Ferguson and Scott left the employment of the South Carolina family.

This is either dumber than a suitcase full of rocks on the South Carolina crew for not telling their lawyer everything which equals to tying your legal representatives hands and allowing them to be blindsided by the likes of L. Lin Wood. So did Thompson and Shelley throw their attorney under the bus, and did they wiave the attorney-client privilege in what appears to a free for all for Shelley and Thompson AGAIN!!

My guess from reading these filings is that Brown was not in the loop of the Horizons litigation and the property being distributed, and she is fighting for her legal career and thus like any lawyer who has been betrayed will come out fighting now that it appears that Thompson and Shelley has waived the attorney – client privilege which in my opinion was a dumb move on their part..

Here are the filings on November 24, last week and as soon as the filings come out today they will be added to this article.

Michelle Braun the latest Hollywood Madam whose business was bigger then Heidi Fleiss, with more ex-Playmates and even some porn stars served the very rich and famous from the U. S. to overseas. Braun will be sentenced today in a federal California Court. The U. S. is recommended five (5) years probation with no more than six (6) months of house arrest.

The federal government has stated that Michelle Braun has given over her electronic black books and is helping the federal government in its ongoing investigation of whose who in Hollywood and how far reaching literally – globally, her “organization” was.

Braun has pled guilty to one felony charge of transporting a woman across state lines for the purpose of prostitution and one felony account of money laundering.

Many wondered why Braun immediately agreed to a plea bargain and to hand over her list of “Johns”. Now we know in the Civil Forfeiture part of this case.

Braun was quick to make this deal because this was truly in every sense of the word a family affair. Braun’s husband, Farrell Kellener, was listed as the president of the multiple business names for Nikki’s Girls with advertising online and a chunk of change to rent one of these girls. Braun got caught by giving service online to an undercover agent. But then she does love to be referred to as “Queen”. Braun’s sister, Mandy Gray of Bakersfield California, worked as her secretary and bookkeeper, her parents had a piece of the action, Braun kept money stashed out of the country, per filings Amsterdam seemed to be her favorite place to stash the extra case. She had a plan to flee the U. S. to a rich uncle in Mexico and then on to a country where extradition was not a guarantee. However, the most surprising family member involved was her brother, listed as a Newport Beach California attorney, however his name is alleged to be Jeff L. Braun. Braun’s brother, the attorney, told everyone he was not Michelle’s brother, and he appears to be protected hin filings as just her brother a Newport Beach Attorney, but once the U. S. government asked for the Civil Suit to be unsealed and the Stay lifted, there was her brother, listed as a “Newport Beach California attorney” who had his sister power of attorney to access her funds if needed for bail money or other expenses. Is aiding a sister in money laundering and prostitution an ethics violation in California? Hell is not reporting a crime an ethics violation in California? However, Braun being the good daughter and sister has taken the full force of the U. S. Government conviction upon herself. Next question why is Michelle Braun getting such a little bit of slap on the hands both sentence wise and property the federal government wants? Remember how much time both the previous Hollywood Madam, Heidi Fleiss and the D. C. Madam received?

You might note also that Michelle Braun’s attorney is Ellyn Garofalo of the Dr. Sandeep Kapoor of Anna Nicole Smith fame. All of this is things that make most of us go Mmmmmmmm. Remember the D. C. Madam was going to jail no if, buts or ands about it, so what is different in this family affair of prostitution, lots of money and high living in Braun’s case.

Here are a list of documents we have obtained in this case well worth a read of crime does pay.

In South Carolina where the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith is suing Ford Shelley and G. Ben Thompson in anticipation that the court will allow the adding of Gina Thompson Shelley, Gaither Thompson II, Melody Thompson and Susan M Brown, Ben Thompson has now turned in an affidavit supporting Brown’s release from that suit.

The pending Motion for Leave to add the four additional parties is still due for filing Answers no latter than November 16, 2009 at which time the Court will set read any Responses and then issues any appropriate Orders.

The Court canceled the “In Camera” hearing for the release of both of G. Ben Thompson’s attorneys that was scheduled on November 3. No reason was given by the Court of who requested or why the hearing was canceled.

The latest filings in that case is the filing again of the same conflict of interest and request to be released as counsel of Susan M. Brown and an Affidavit by G. Ben Thompson acknowledging that Brown would probably be added to the suit and stating due to that reason Thompson had no objections.

November 5, 2009 Susan Brown second filing to be released as counsel for G. Ben Thompson after hearing on November 3, 2009 was canceled by the court.

We are expecting filings by Elizabeth McNamara on behalf of Rita Cosby and L. Lin Wood on behalf of Howard K. Stern to be filed in New York by tomorrow, November 9.

We also expect a filing in the Texas State Court tomorrow or early this week in Response by Virgie Arthur to CBS’ request for Summary Judgment we will be adding that as soon as we receive that filing.

New filings in California in the Bankruptcy of Bonnie Stern and the Adversarial Proceding of Virgie Arthur vs. Bonnie Stern. that we will be adding today and a new section for the latest case to spring up over all of this in Texas and listing those papers as we receive them.

September 17, 2009 The Bankruptcy Court in California discharged Bonnie Stern’s bankruptcy except of the adversarial case filed by Virgie Arthur.

http://www.rosespeaks.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&op=getit&lid=2628.

September 22, 2009 In the Adversarial Proceeding of Virgie Arthur vs. Bonnie Stern this is a joint status report asking for the next status hearing to by January 12, 2010. The Appeals Court in Texas has issued a Stay on the January 27, 2009 Order appointing the Special Master Craig Ball which his report on Stern was the reason a default judgment was issued against Stern. If that is overturned by either the three cases pending in the First Court of Appeals or in the case before the Supreme Court of Texas, then there is the question if that in itself will make the striking of Stern’s pleadings to be thrown out. Then there is the big question with the October 30, 2009 filing of John M. O’Quinn’s Will which states that the three trustees in place to dissolved his firm The O’Quinn Law Firm, how will that impact the current case in both Texas as well as California. Normally the conditions of the Will are resolved within nine months of the filing of the Will in all matters so the Estate can file a final inventory and pay Estate Income Tax.

With a head line like that you can just imagine where this article is going.

I woke up this morning to a bunch of B. S. in my in box and was sure this was a surreal Trick or Treat Halloween prank and a pretty good one I thought. That is until I realized it was REAL and then the anger and feeling sick began to settle in.

We have Rita Cosby’s good friend, James Edstrom, writing on his “gossip site” today that at a party or nightclub he was at in December 2007 that O’Quinn was, “Two Sheets to the Wind”. We are please to say because of a tad of nudging by Rose Speaks.com, Edstrom cleaned up his article and gave Mr. O’Quinn the credit he deserved and took away the New York style of bragging when you really can’t remember for sure what happened.

The Houston Chronicle is now reporting that John O’Quinn was driving at a high rate of speed when his SUV became airborne and impaled on a t tree killing O’Quinn and Johnny Cutliff instantly. The Houston Police Department has turned the investigation over to it’s “Vehicle Crimes” department for a thorough investigation. That department said although the road was slightly wet it would not have caused the type of accident that killed O’Quinn and Johnny Cutliff unless O’Quinn had been traveling at a high rate of speed. They have recovered John O’Quinn’s cell phone from the wreckage and with that and the black box from the SUV they hope to have some answers next week. It will take several weeks to get the toxicology reports back, but police said it did not appear that any medication etc. was involved in the fatal crash. Which brings up a question I have. We have all heard the stories of a police officer placing a speeding ticket in the pocket of a speeder killed in a vehicle accident, could a posthumous charge apply to O’Quinn for the death of Johnny Cutliff? Mr. O’Quinn’s funeral will be on November 4, 2009 at 11 AM at the Second Baptist Church in Houston with a showing open to the public from 4PM to 8 PM on November 3. We do not have the funeral arrangements yet for Mr Cutliff but as soon as we do we will list it here for those of his friends whom have asked us to keep them updated.

With John O’Quinn now dead the fear of Houston publications being sued by this giant of a man literally and figuratively. They appear to be beginning understanding that and so slowly they are printing “their truth” about O’Quinn. Some if it includes that; “The death of John O’Quinn in a single-car vehicle crash abruptly and prematurely ended the saga of a man as big and brash and full of contradictions as his native city.” The Houston Chronicle article went on to say in part; “Like Houston — a brilliant, rambunctious city that sometimes seems to have a chip on its shoulder — the 68-year-old, 6-foot-4 O’Quinn combined great achievement, wealth and generosity with a gnawing insecurity. In this brilliant, rambunctious lawyer’s case, it took the form of alcohol abuse and a tendency to push his practice of law beyond his acknowledged courtroom brilliance to the ethical boundaries of the profession.”

“…O’Quinn was demonized by tort reform advocates as a symbol of frivolous lawsuits and outrageously large damage awards. … O’Quinn established himself as a premier plaintiff’s lawyer in a city renowned for its legal giants. Yet he rarely seemed at peace with that status, trying to fill a void that money and fame could not reach. In recent years, O’Quinn’s friends say he found a measure of contentment and stability. Even so, it’s hard to imagine this most dynamic of Houstonians ever wanting to rest in peace.” Many in Texas say that John O’Quinn almost single handed was the motivation for tort reform in Texas and thus Texas is now a safe haven for doctors to practice and not have to pay a fortune for malpractice insurance.

Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole Smith’s estranged mother, will be making her first public interview since the Inquest into Daniel Smith’s death in 2008. Ms. Arthur has returned to a trusted allied in Geraldo Rivera to do the interview. It is ironic the interview will on Halloween night, kind of fits Geraldo’s bizarre sensationalism. Ms. Arthur is expected to talk about her personal loss with John O’Quinn’s death. Knowing Geraldo though I am willing to bet the conversation will cross over to her enemy Howard K. Stern being bound over for trial in California with two of Smith’s doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich with the third arraignment of the three scheduled for December 11. Surely as a “lawyer” (cough – cough) Gerlado knew this was to be expected and is no real win which equals high fives for his participation in this “alleged” lynching. So be sure and set your clocks for Geraldo, have a glass of red wine and see how Geraldo turns all of this into sensational infotainment for the All Mighty Dollar, [advertising revenue]. Does Geraldo, you think, ever feel any shame or is the nature of infotainment is those who bring in the advertising dollars get to keep their much lusted after shows?

Then there is Harvey Levin, the Jewish gay lawyer/journalist that has made internet sensationalism via his celebrity gossip blog into a way to bring in tons of money via advertising. Are we seeing a picture emerge here that involved infotainment and dollar signs? There are plenty of allegations around Hollyweird, we have learned, that Levin, if our source is correct and the allegations are true, also shares one thing with Anna Nicole Smith – an addiction to Methadone. Isn’t he just a tad afraid that feel good Jerry Brown might hone in on him next?

Levin, since Anna Nicole Smith’s death, has hardly held back his personal disdain for Howard K. Stern while showing favor in positive articles for his “good friend”, Larry Birkhead. Levin and his staff have allowed, since 2007, many – many posts of anti-Semitism and right down hate for Stern to flourish uncontrolled on TMZ.com and often fed by Harvey Levin via TMZ.com.

The sickest example of this lust for that all mighty advertising dollar, is the horrid reference to the now infamous Anna Nicole Smith’s clown video that has been released in public discovery in both the New York defamation suit of Howard K. Stern vs. Rita Cosby but also as of yesterday the California criminal proceedings.

If one is to believe what Harvey Levin appears to be alleging about Anna Nicole Smith in her ninth month of pregnancy, then we must assume Levin is implying that Dannielynn Birkhead was born suffering from the effects of multiple drug addictions. Now how is Levin going to explain that one to his good friend Larry Birkhead? Perhaps the free face time and positive press he has always lavish on Birkhead will be enough for Birkhead to forgive what Levin appears to saying in his most recent allegations involving the infamous clown tape and Howard K. Stern.

I bet this morning or yesterday, Levin was beating himself up for not buying that tape himself at the time he bought the photos of the refrigerator from the Bahamas home known as Horizons; the infamous unfilled fax for medication from Dr. Eroshevich to Dr. Kapoor just days after Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole’s son, died. Then of course there are those continuous changing and selling of affidavits by the nannies which neither the National Inquirer or Birkhead found to be believable but Levin bought them right up for publication on TMZ. Do you feel sorry that Levin let the infamous clown video slip through his greedy hands?

Harvey have you not been watching the preliminary hearing and the sharpness of Stern’s criminal attorney Steve Sadow? My bet is you ain’t seen nothing yet, and get some new news not the recycle bull shit appearing on your web celebrity slamming blog site. You like all of us knew Stern and the two doctors would be bound over for trial, so why the cheap shots by you? Oh yea I forgot that constant chase for the illusive advertising dollars in a shaky economy.

Finally we have Lin Wood playing with Georgia Attorney Susan M. Brown a frustrating game for him called “where are the hard drives”.

In the latest filings in the South Carolina federal court the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith is asking for contempt charges and sanctions against G. Ben Thompson and his “former” attorney, Susan M. Brown.

In more of the excerpt of Brown’s deposition released with the October 29 filing, you have to wonder where Brown got her law license. Now to think that Wood made a comment about Texas lawyers lacking ethics, I bet he is feeling a Georgia lawyer is also a tad shy of ethics today.

As you read the excerpt with again some pages redacted, at the end do you have any clear idea of “where are the hard drives”?

I came away scratching my head after seeing so many attorneys in the deposition of Susan M. Brown in person and by phone distancing themselves from Brown in what has to be an old time record of “we don’t have them, do you”, behavior, of “where’s the hard drives”.

What does happen to an attorney if it is proven that she did commit a crime of fraud as the Memorandum from the Georgia Court ordering her to appear for a deposition states and proves to be true?

There is the Motion for Contempt, the Memorandum of Law in support of the contempt and sanctions, new exhibits to read, some old exhibits referred to and the excerpt of Lin Wood trying to pin a room full of lawyer down to “Where are the hard drives” in a game which is funny and sad at the same time.

Ah the continued entwining of all things Anna Nichol Smith and the money and publicity she has continued to earn in death. Do you think the Georgia attorney, Susan M. Brown is being investigated for ethics violations in Georgia as well as the charges she faces in South Carolina?

Ms. Brown as does Gaither Thompson II, Gina Thompson Shelley and Melody Thompson have to file their answers by November 16 after being added to the lawsuit in place of a few Doe names. We also have a far more serious filing from Brown due on November 16, the Contempt of Court and Request for Sanctions against both her and her previous, or is she still his current lawyer, G. Ben Thompson. Ah to be a fly on the wall when that hearing finally takes place.

Is Anna Nicole Smith more famous in death then she ever was in life? Has her death created a new piranha feeding frenzy not seen before in the land of gossip and infotainment?

I’ll get back with all of you after I force myself to watch Geraldo, I really don’t like the guy. I wonder how Virgie Arthur looks after being out of the lime light for the last 18 months.
