$24,386 in travel expenses to bring the two loons from the Bahamas? This has to be one of the funnier aspects of this case, how these two people with little education got one of the biggest District Attorney’s offices in the United States to spring for that kind of money???
“Two years for investigators to ‘UNRAVEL THE PUZZLE’ of the case”… Oh, I have to be careful here, did that include any time in the sun? And how much did that investigation cost the State of California and the District Attorney of Los Angeles? …ever build a house of cards?
Early on I was very curious if these special agents and investigators had any idea who these people were, the witnesses and the history they carried to the circus that was developing in the Bahamas. ….Or that silly SOB who said that I had “climbed his fence”…such garbage the flies would not eat it, nasty trash.
Whatever happens it won’t make a hill of beans to most of us, and I can see this following the tidy bowl man right on down the crapper where it belongs. …Pretty incredible stuff, sure all the bloggers have their opinions about many of these people involved and how “wonderful” they are, and how “good” they are, and the interesting part is hard for some to understand that many of these people involved in this case would not empty their bladders if these “fans” were on fire. And if for one minute you question the “financial” aspects of this case and look closely you would be sorely disappointed. Judge Perry has his hand on the flusher and I think that he is going to send this case cascading into the sewer below the Criminal Courts Building here in Los Angeles.
“We believe there were felonies“…what happened to them? Did they fall through the cracks with the rest of this case? …hmmmm and that dam “spoon cooking stuff,” (special wink to my “friend”). Funny stuff as with the “cross dresser” and…

We do have someone in the court room today and here is how it breaks down as of the morning break. We are told that the courtroom is like a circus today and what our source thought would be fun to watch has turned into something painful to watch.
We have the two nannies, Quethlie Alexis and Nadine Alexie, of which Judge Robert Perry is not quite sure what they can offer to the trial, but he is going to let it go on for a bit. Which in my opinion is a good call after all those taxpayers deserve their money’s worth.
We have one husband and six [6} children all guests of the bankrupt state of California. The D. A. had to make a special deal with the Bahamian government to let them leave but also then to let them return within ten days as you might remember they are allegedly working there illegally, so right off we have a credibility problem and it just gets better!.
Even the nanny that speaks good English, Quethlie Alexis, has insisted on a Creole – Haitian interpreter. That got off good with the interpreter being 45 minutes late for court because she could not find a parking space. Did she not know this was a busy court house? Then add to that they had to do a special oath to swear them in because they would not swear to tell the truth so help them God, but only to tell the truth and leave out the God part… OH yea this is starting off good for today.
Renee Rose is doing the direct right now but the nanny up on the stand, Quethlie Alexis. forgets at times she can’t speak English and answers in English. What do you think Steve Sadow is going to do with this woman?
Is this like a Hail Mary pass for the prosecution?
Next update will be at the lunch break. Good job tax payers, pay for an illegal group of immigrants to vacation for ten days in your beautiful state, all expenses paid by the bankrupt state, has anyone asked Jerry Brown how he feels about pouring your tax payer dollars down the crapper? Perhaps the good taxpayers of California can pay for a trip to Disney Land for this group of tourists over and above what they have paid for round trip airfare, and hotels for NINE “visitors”!

Like I said from the beginning, Judge Perry did not like this case from the very first hours of the prelim. The defense was thrilled and less thrilled when it was going to be held in another court. Then in a twist of fate it was back with Judge Perry. Folks he does not like this case and in my opinion feels it to be a waste of judicial time.
The criticism came as Superior Court Judge Robert Perry reluctantly agreed to let jurors see a videotape of Smith on an awards show in a performance her former boyfriend Larry Birkhead said was considered “loopy, wacky and crazy” by many people.
Perry, however, said outside the jury’s presence that he was concerned about the prosecution’s case.”
It’s the people’s position that Anna Nicole was kept in a drugged state,” Perry said. “They claim she was a pawn in the hands of her handlers and doctors who kept her in a drugged state to control her and her money.”
The evidence so far does not support that, he said
“I’m seeing a strong-willed person who ordered people around and was her own boss,” Perry said”
Judge Perry gets it, the charges as they are filed are the problem, as I stated before, the truth will never be found in this courtroom. The truth was when everyone hated each other in Florida, do ya remember all of that?…….. …..
… “Trust me. I’m a doctor.”
…from my knowledge Kapoor has a very successful medical practice and will be fine. Dr. Eroshevich will too survive if found not guilty and Howard? Not a question one of the most brilliant minds I have ever been around except…

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.

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!
