Posted by Rose in All Things Anna Nicole Smith, Anna Nicole Smith, Anna Nicole Smith's Will, Beverly Hills, Bryan Cave LLP, Celebrity Trials, Daniel Smith, Debunking the myths on ALL cases related to Anna Nicole, Don Clark, Ford Shelley, G Ben Thompson, Geraldo - Live, Geraldo At Large, Geraldo FOX News, Greta -On The Record, Greta Van Susteren, High Proflie Trials, Hollywood, Horizons law suit, Howard and Anna, Howard K Stern, John O'Quinn, Lin Wood, Luke Lantta, Neil McCabe, Nicole Jennings Wade, The John O'Quinn Law Firm, The O'Quinn Law Firm, TMZ, TMZ.com, Virgie Arthur

What started out as the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith vs. Ford Shelley, Gina Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Gaither Thompson and Melanie Thompson, or known as the Shelley and Thompson Clan of South Carolina. The people who broke into Horizons in the Bahamas and then allegedly sold a lot of tapes and pictures to TMZ (remember the Methadone refrigerator picture), Splash (including the tasteless picture of Daniel Smith in his casket), tons of videos to Fox News including On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, Geraldo Rivera Live, and the list goes on and on. Ford was one of the first to holler, Howard K. Stern did something to Daniel and Anna Nicole Smith, and the first at the trial to say Howard never hurt Anna……… so much for credibility. The question is though where is the money that all of that sold for????
Then enters what has become the big fish, Susan M. Brown Esq., Georgia Attorney and the Susan M. Brown Law Office, did this poor woman get left holding the bag and with the O’Quinn law firm dissolved there is no one to hand it off too. Kind of like playing musical chairs and the one left standing alone when the music stops, that would be Susan M. Brown.
Brown has tap danced for two years with the same song just different steps until she finally had a Northern District of Georgia Federal Court say she had waived the attorney client privilege under the crime fraud act…… NOT good for a lawyer’s resume, not to mention the State Bar of Georgia.
Any Objections to Susan M. Brown’s current lawyers, Joseph C. Wilson IV. and Carl E. Pierce II of Pierce, Herns, Sloan & McLeod LLC, has filed to withdraw as counsel for “the Brown Defendants”, stating it would not cause any prejudice because “the discovery concerning the Brown Defendants has not begun”. Do what??? The court ruled a long time ago that because Brown has been present for all of those depositions there would not be that much extra to tidy up the suit and have it ready for trial.
However the big WHAM in the March 2, 2011 filings is asking and filing the Motion to Withdraw with the grounds set out to substantiate the withdrawing should be in a Memorandum in Support filed UNDER SEAL “Counsel is not aware of any other means to communicate the grounds for withdrawal that would protect the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship and avoid undue prejudice to the Brown Defendants.”
However the case they quote as outweighing the right of the public right to know (I. E. the News media) on its own raises red flags of the potential seriousness of these actions. In the Knight case it states; “we explained that, while a district court has a supervisory power over its own records and may, in its discretion, seal documents if the public’s right of access is outweighed by competing interests, the presumption in such cases favors public access. The public’s right of access to judicial records and documents may be abrogated ONLY IN UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES. Accordingly before a district court may seal any court documents, we held that it must 1) provide public notice of the request to seal and allow interested parties a reasonable opportunity to object. (That date was March 21, 2011 per the South Carolina Federal Court’s Docket). 2) consider less drastic alternatives to sealing the documents, and 3) provide specific reasons and factual findings supporting its decision to seal the documents and for rejecting the alternatives.”
The Motion ends that “Counsel will submit the Memorandum in Support of the Motion to Withdraw to the Court for the Court’s in camera review and shall not file same until further notice from the Court.
Well folks I don’t think there will be any jury selection starting tomorrow, and as of midnight there has been no objections or request for a hearing on the filing being done under seal…
So what do you think Susan M. Brown needs to be protective from “avoid undue prejudice”?
As soon as we have the Court’s decision, and new dates for jury selection will post it, it is noticeable that no lawyer has filed to just transfer the case to them, as new attorney of record, things that make you go Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

Christopher Smith, J. Christopher Smith Esq, John J. Nazarian, John J. Nazarian P.I, John Nazarian, John Nazarian PI, Nazarian P. I., Steve Sadow, Virgie Arthur

Well I decided to give the Criminal Courts Building a shot yesterday afternoon after spending the previous night and much of my day in Catalina….
…I misunderstood a friend who told me that Steve Sadow was warming up just prior to lunch and that if I hurried I could catch some of the “Sadow factor.” Best laid plans of mice and men…upon my arrival I was told by one of my eyes and ears that he had started first in the morning, and that I had missed some incredible lawyering…”it was some of the best.“ Sadow was dressed in a very nice black suit and white shirt, the usual court wear. And he was into his “step by miserable step” of trying to dismantle the “people’s” case. The people’s case was presented in Power Point and I was told it was very powerful and made all their points and was nothing short of impressive. Steve Sadow had Chris Smith as his Audio Visual guy, and would say, “Chris put this one up.” Hey Hey Hey, I am just reporting what I saw. I thought Chris did a good job…
…Sadow would mention Larry Birkhead several times, there was the methadone taken from a bag, in the closet at a hospital and how Birkhead had testified seeing Howard give Anna her methadone. However, unlike the initial testimony when everyone was telling the truth in the Bahamas, this was almost warm and fuzzy…Sadow now told the jury that Birkhead could not remember for sure…it was a warm moment. I almost cried, but I am pretty dry after this week… Sadow went on to say that Anna Nicole Smith had lost her faith in Cedars and wanted to get out of there and fast. She would leave Cedars and she would go directly back to Dr. Fabulous, aka Kapoor, he too was doing all things right! I almost felt that at the break the lawyers and defendants would hum a few verses of “we shall overcome.” …
…It almost looked like family day, Kapoor’s mother and father were sitting in the front row, and Mrs. Stern and her other son were sitting close by also. These are good people who did a hell of a job raising their kids, one’s a doctor and the other a lawyer. Eroshevich was smiling and picking lint off her lawyer (the light in the tunnel !!!)
One of the highlights of Mr. Sadow’s reviewing the facts was, “Anna was leaving Los Angeles to get rid of Larry Birkhead,” his words not mine. We did at Desperate Exes.com speak about the “Bahamian Master Plan.” Mr. Sadow also stated that Anna had gone to South Carolina for three weeks…
…It would appear that Steve Sadow was less protective of Dr. Bubbles, aka Dr. Ersohevich, and spoke of her putting the prescriptions in Howard’s name and he not knowing what Anna’s buddy was doing. Again this is my thought on what I heard, if I am mistaking I apologize. And that Howard K. Stern had a good faith belief that what the doctors did was legal and appropriate….
…The jury seemed very attentive and many were taking notes…this is good, three or four people told me that the “PowerPoint” was very very impressive, so keep talking and enunciating Mr. Sadow. In the course of the afternoon, other very insignificant people were mentioned, you know little people, potential headaches sorta people. Are you ready for this? There was mention of some silly candy for a better sexual experience! Better than a few hundred dollar bills? Hell, I will stick with…
….or did it have to be ‘cooked’, prior to being injected…..

… “Steve who?”, “ Said what ?”, ahhhhhh Steve Sadow, what next, will we hear Geraldo singing the praises of Howard K. Stern?
…. …Oh for sure the evidence that she has would show “guilt,” but Rene [Rose], you got out-lawyered by the Gentleman from Georgia. Sadow so narrowed what the prosecution could present with the blessing of Judge Perry that it must be like trying to make a nice tomato sauce with no tomatoes! Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley and the rest of these folk must have had a “coming to Jesus” moment. These guys were like the Huns at one time, entering the castle and pillaging in the name of Anna Nicole Smith. “we will save all of her property from those who should have it.” …and now in Judge Perry’s court we have the “Harper Valley PTA.” …All we needed was Sonny and Cher’s wonderful song, “The Beat Goes On” …
… …And of course we have the ultimate secret weapon, Steve Sadow, I never heard of this guy until the publicity picture went up with Steve, Chris, Howard and what’s her name. Howard and I will never forget that picture and announcement, it was an awakening, a new day, praise the lord! [J Christopher] “Chris” Smith is a good lawyer in his own way …Sadow needed Chris to be able to throw the prosecutions case into the gutter. …BUT! Sadow, he was this lawyer from Georgia who changed the whole case for Howard K. Stern. …. …When you hear the testimony from the Bahamas, HKS was the original demon seed…
Ah but in the end it was the “Sadow,” …Poor Rene must feel like a tap dancer with no taps, a puppeteer with no puppets, an actor with no show, a photographer with no camera…..ok I’ll stop.
And how about this, Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, [Virgie Arthur], has to sit there in that court and listen to what adds up to nothing but “hog wash,” …

Superior Court Judge Robert Perry has said Smith’s cause of death is not an issue in the trial of Stern, Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. The defendants are not accused of causing Smith’s death.”
Well that makes me wonder, Dr. Perper’s previous decisions are they final? Is this bunch totally out of the woods? It would appear that Dr. Perper has big problems coming and fast. How many times can someone fall before they die and it is still considered an accident? I guess if someone keeps falling with or with no help that could be murder. Well except in Florida. Perper was a breath of fresh air to the Three Stooges. He found that there was no foul play, or words to that effect. Now that his sense of reasoning is being questioned could this be a problem for the “magnificent three?”
The rumor has been out for awhile that maybe Florida would look into filing murder charges against Howard K. Stern, and the two docs. My research tells me that it is still a possibility, and have wondered with comments coming from the bench if this is not an omen. ….
…“The prosecutor objected to Monday’s testimony, saying the defense was trying to implant the impression that everyone around Smith was scheming to get money.”
…Prosecutor Renee Rose used the word “Scheming“ in reference to Mr. Sadow’s questioning of Da Moester and his “disc with photos.” Howard [K. Stern] knew from the start that the disc was stolen and was at his wits end trying to get it back or to stop the usage of it. After all, that was money that should have been going to the estate of Anna Nicole Smith and not to Moe & Taz (I love that name combo). …“Scheming,” everyone had an angle and to many the “scheming” continues. Along with false witness, get while the getting is good, be careful what you wish for, show me the money, The Common Good, and one of my favorites, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
…15th Circuit Deputy Solicitor Jimmy Richardson said the five residents are being called in the trial because they were familiar with Smith and her physical condition. “They were witnesses to the demeanor of Anna Nicole Smith,” Richardson said quoting documents from California officials.
Ford Shelley told Hyman that spending four or five days in California will put a financial hardship on the group because they will be away from their jobs. Shelley also said he told investigators in the case he had no knowledge of Smith’s demeanor.
“We were not a party to any of those things,” Shelley said during Monday’s hearing.
…”we were not a party to any of those things“, what next…”what Anna, Anna who?” “Howard Stern, I don’t like his radio show.” Come on, it is all about their fear of getting on that stand and the “Great Sadow” brings to light all of their interesting past life experiences (remember our system gives everyone a chance to attack each other …all of us have things to hide, some more than others). …Sure while in South Carolina throwing rocks was fun, shit it was nothing short of a F’n party and now? They will be getting to meet the ultimate get even guy, yup and that will be “The Gentleman from Georgia” Steve Sadow. …
Someone correct me if I am wrong, was this not the group that entered Anna’s house, [Horizons], moments after her death to make sure all of Anna’s, [Nicole Smith] and Howard’s, [K. Stern], personal property was safe and sound from “thieves?” And was that not some of the same stuff that went sailing off into the sunset to only reappear in different media outlets. No I am wrong, I am sure that never happened, I need to get some rest…
And in closing some of my readers are curious who am I supporting…I do not like anyone in this case (with the exception of one or two). My initial response was that I thought two guys were just trying to do well by a child. This I stated publicly and I do believe that the father of that little girl loves her more than life itself. I also believe that the other male in the picture also loves that child with an equal amount of love. I don’t like any of them, not one and I am sure that feeling is quite mutual and I guess it is my weeks of studying the discovery that confirmed much for me. For sure I had my own thoughts about the “players” and their behavior. The work of the investigators just made the “light” brighter and in time it all made sense. And like all of the rest I too have an agenda, would I consider it “scheming” no I don’t think so. And for any pending lawsuits I understand TRUTH IS A DEFENSE, so as long as you are not lying and have proof, you are good. Then again it could also be more like a poker player, you just never know till someone “calls.”
Interestingly John J. Nazarian continues to break his almost 3 years of silence, his next installment on Desperate Exes.com is a MUST read. I love that he is going to be in court for what I consider the “main witnesses and builder of this house of cards”. Be sure to read the rest of this article on Desperate Exes.com.

It’s the morning of August 6, 2010 and I am just about to enter the court building, not knowing that the “star witness of the day” Big Moe, is right in front of me, entering the building the same time as I am. The paparazzi quickly surrounded Moe in a flood of flashbulbs! Then, I was next to be surrounded and photographed by the paparazzi pack. Once inside the court building, and through the security check, I went to the elevator to begin my journey up to the courtroom. Not realizing that one of the people in the elevator alongside of me was Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, I started to feel that this was going to be an event more than I realized.
When I walked into the courtroom, I took a seat in the back row. Virgie, in a gray pant suit, seated to my left and an ABC reporter to my right in the same row. Linda Deutsch of the AP was seated in front of me in a bright pink blazer and pen in hand. The court room wasn’t very big, and had signs everywhere stating no cell phones or recording devices were allowed. The jury was on the left side of the courtroom, 2 rows of jurors.
Big Moe took to the stand in a pin striped suit and bronze shirt with a gold chain, and had trouble adjusting his mic. at first. Judge Robert Perry was more than accommodating to Big Moe. Anna Nicole Smith’s so called “dream team”; Howard K. Stern with his attorneys, J. Chris Smith and lead attorney Steve Sadow, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich with attorney Bradley Brunon, and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor with attorney Ellyn Garofalo sat center with the rest of their legal teams. Howard stuck out somewhat because of his bright royal blue tie and he appeared to have bad sitting posture, I thought. Dr. Kapoor was in a gray suit and monochromatic lavender shirt and purple tie. Dr. Khris opted for pin stripes!
Once the questioning began, Assistant Deputy Attorney, Renee Rose fired her inquiries at Big Moe. Steve Sadow was the “I object” person of the day…I swear he objected to so many things Renee Rose or Big Moe were saying, or the questions and how they were phrased, and on and on.
Dr. Khris’ lawyer, Bradley Brunon, also objected a few times when the questions or Moe’s answers were directed at Dr. Khris.
Big Moe started working with Anna, he said, in 2003, being introduced to her by Howard K. Stern at a photo-shoot.
Big Moe answered questions about Anna’s entourage, which consisted of Howard K. Stern, Kimmy Walthers, & Anna’s son Daniel Smith, etc. Mr. Sadow objected to the word “entourage” and it was sustained. Big Moe wasn’t exact on dates regarding Anna all the time. Although, he did say Howard K. Stern was her “right hand man”, and Kimmy was her “Assistant”, not Howard. The entourage, or crowd of people, would go with Anna to some of her occasions, but Howard went to everything. Big Moe did say that he never saw Stern do law or any other legal things, although Howard was Anna’s lawyer.
Big Moe said he always brought a Blood Pressure Cuff with him, because Anna would sometimes go without rest and he would check her.
During 2004 Anna was the spokeswoman for Trim Spa and went on tour with the Trim Spa Bus around the country, and Moe said he was pretty much on the bus the whole time. Big Moe went on to say that he saw prescription drugs on bus, and that Anna always had a backpack with a grocery bag inside with more medications in it. He did say he saw Anna take the meds. He did say he did not see what kinds were in the bag though. The E! crew, Howard, Kimmy, and Daniel were there as well on the Trim Spa bus tour.
Big Moe stated that he did see Anna take meds on the bus regularly, and she was tired a lot and slept a lot. However she did enjoy the attention from her fans he said!
He rekindled us with The Kentucky Derby meeting when Anna met Larry Birkhead, when Larry was a freelance photographer. Larry from that point became part of her crowd and joined on the bus to take pictures. Those photographs were seen in People Magazine, In Touch, etc.
At one point, one of the jurors I saw seem to be cat napping! LOL!
We then were taken on a journey of award shows when Anna was “medicated” or “Cristalized ” with the champagne, or both. Although Moe said Anna was a “casual drinker” and she loved Cristal Champagne! Anna would get slurred speech, become drowsy, and had trouble walking at one or more of these award shows. Big Moe said she would get nervous before an awards show or party, like anybody, and needed to relax. One of these award shows was The World Music Awards, when she presented Kanye West with an award in 2004. Moe said, “I saw her take her usual medications and drink before a show, and take whatever else to make her relax.” It got so bad at times that on one occasion they had to carry Anna out. He said Anna would take meds first, then drink.
One of the funniest things that happened in the courtroom was when Judge Robert Perry did not understand when Big Moe said The G Foria Awards. Judge Perry asked Moe to spell the name of the awards a couple of times and the courtroom broke out in laughter.
Another funny point in the courtroom was when Big Moe’s cell phone started to ring aloud: the ringer was the sound of a siren!
At one point, Moe painted a sweet picture of Anna when she was at Camp Kindle, a camp for children who are affected by HIV/AIDS. He said Anna loved playing with the children and really enjoyed herself. She also loved painting her face with them, she would be the person dunked in The Dunk Machine, play Camp Games, etc..
The heavy part of this inquisition was when The Bahamas came into the court room. Howard called Moe and asked him to come to the Bahamas because Daniel had died, so Moe flew into Nassau. Moe said that Anna was “a hurt lady” because of Daniel’s death and would breakdown. She was incredibly depressed. On Sept. 11, 2006, Moe talked to Anna and said she looked drained and lethargic due to Daniel’s death. At Horizons, he did say that Ford Shelley, G. Ben Thompson, Howard K. Stern, Anna, Dannielynn, and one of the nannies were there. There were two nannies, separate shifts, Alexis and Nadine. The others at Horizons included, Tracy Ferguson attorney, and Gina Shelley, Ford Shelley’s wife.
Moe said Anna was happy to see him when he first arrived. She hugged him, but was in pain from her C-section. Moe said Anna was in denial of Daniel’s passing. But she would come to life when Dannielynn was in front of her.
Moe did say that Anna would sleep during the day and get up at night. He would try to get her up and moving because she was sleeping a lot.
The infamous dish of pills became part of the inquisition. Over 20 different pills, and also some pills in bottles. Moe never saw the types or names on many of the bottles. He did mention Diazepam (Valium), B12 (liquid form) for energy, and methadone, because he saw the name on those bottles. Moe also said he saw syringes in the bathroom. He stated that Anna had a small refrigerator by her bed, four feet high, with Orange Juice, baby bottles, snacks, methadone and syringes.
He also saw the burnt spoon in the bathroom. Moe said Anna injected herself, but others injected her too, like Howard K. Stern. He explained the liquefying of the medicine and why they cooked it on a spoon. He said it draws up into the syringe easier and goes into the blood stream faster. He said he did see burnt spoons on the counter in the bathroom and in her drawer. Moe did not liquefy or cook meds on spoons.. Moe did say that Anna had two doctors, Dr. Minnis and Dr. Barrett in the Bahamas that did inject her, or administer drugs to Anna.
Moe stated that Chloral Hydrate given to Anna by Dr. Khris Eroshevich. Anna at one point would drink the Chloral Hydrate from the bottle. Moe said Anna drank the Chloral from the bottle in front of Dr. Khris and Dr. Khris told her not to do that, but Anna did it anyway.
Moe did raise his voice at one point to defend Anna’s honor and said “She wasn’t impaired all the time you couldn’t get over on her she wasn’t popping pills all day.” That may have been true but somehow sounded a little contradictory to me.
Although, this is just the beginning of this trial saga, I am sure the best is yet to come!

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.
