Well, what a ride, the preparation for the inevitable, the trial of Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khistine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. It is August 4, 2010 and the “machine” is warming up! ….Dr. Sandeep Kapoor looked stressed and agitated, it will not be fun having his personal journals read aloud to the jury and the audience. His journals are mean spirited most of the time and just darn nasty. The dark side perhaps, but a little “bitchy,” if you know what I mean. Yet when you speak to him he comes across as friendly and caring, what he must be thinking? …Dr. Eroshevich looked as if she had run a marathon, her hair was not coifed as it was on most days and she looked a little ragged. She looked terrible as a matter of fact. At her age, to be going through this has to be taking its toll, unlike Kapoor, she is in her twilight years. …She too is a very compassionate person and loads of fun at times to talk to. …However, the doctors as they were presented to the jury by the prosecutor just seemed terrible. Go figure what were they thinking, why was not more effort placed in getting Anna to a re-hab center?

…Betty Ford was one that I had spent many days and weeks at making sure all went as planned. Sure the treatment facility had a plan, then so did my clients!

The defense got a huge break with the return of Judge Perry, during the pre-lim he did not seem to me to be happy that this case was coming down the criminal courts highway. …Sadow however seemed to be a hit with both judges, it is that dam “Steve Factor.”

Ms. Virgie Arthur entered the courtroom at 8:35 A.M. She was nicely dressed and she too seemed comfortable and focused. She held the hand of a gentleman who I am assuming was her husband, she sat a few seats from where I was sitting. …Quiet and patient, she was there to watch and listen to those who are charged in preparing her daughter for the afterlife.

The jury entered the courtroom at 9:47 A.M. and it looked to be a good cross section of our society. This was there big “debut,” the group who would either “set ‘em free or drop the court house on ‘em.”. …Why was this not done in Florida? The Bahamas? …they come across as being sinister and conniving if you believe the prosecution…there is so much more!

Prosecutor Rene Rose was on top of her game… She is good at her job and she is tough, I felt that her presentation and cadence was right on. Steve Sadow was nothing less than fabulous, this is what this guy was meant to do. He is interesting and the good ol’ boyish in his delivery had the jury’s attention…

Much was made of the ‘names’ that were used in the course of making sure Anna stayed medicated. The name that just kept coming was “Michele Chase,” over and over again this alias was used. Hmmm I am reviewing my notes, but I recall that this was a name used by a male who would sometimes “cross dress,” and was associated with Anna Nicole Smith & Co. For many years I would visit the ‘Queen Mary’ in Studio City, California, it was owned by one of my very good friends Robert Juleff. This place was a show place with live shows of female impersonators and in the very back was a very special bar. Robert would tell me that on a busy night you could go back there and find lawyers and perhaps a judge or two, depending on what night of the week. …Michele Chase will live on forever in the Anna Nicole Smith story.

Here is my prediction, Howard K. Stern will walk, he has a great lawyer, Steve Sadow is going to have this jury eating out of his hand. Dr. Kapoor I am not sure, on paper he looks just terrible, but he too has one of the best lawyers out there, Ellyn Garafalo, she is different and has a very no nonsense attitude. For Dr. Eroshevich who is on lawyer 3 or 4, she has lots of hurdles to get over and at her age it won’t be easy getting over them. Not sure how much the prosecution will get into in all of her baggage, but most is not good. …And in saying that, she is the only one who never made a dime on her relationship with Anna Nicole Smith, it cost her money to hang around and be a “doctor!” And in the end, it may cost her including her entire career (deals are good, too bad, we hope you enjoy the view).

We will be reporting in and out on this trial as time will allow and we at DesperateExes.com wish all three of these people the best of luck…..and for those who will testify against Howard K. Stern, wear a vest and a safety belt as Sadow is going to rock your world”…and ‘”Michele,” where is my lipstick?

Be sure to read the rest of this rather sad opening at Desperate Exes.com. We have been very fortunate to have developed a good exchange between Rose Speaks.com and Desperate Exes.com over the last three years.

PR RELEASE BY MIGHTY OAK ENTERTAINMENT

Mighty Oak Entertainment brings Florida judge Larry Seidlin, who presided over the posthumous Anna Nicole Smith custody hearing, back to TV with a “spiritual vengeance” in a new court show format.

LOS ANGELES, June 21 /PRNewswire/ — Larry Seidlin, the unflappable judge who gained fame and notoriety when he presided over the Anna Nicole Smith trial, will become the first TV judge to open his court to the paranormal as a means for uncovering the truth. In addition to relying on his years of judicial experience, Seidlin will be enlisting the help of those with extrasensory, clairvoyant and telepathic powers to help him decide cases.

“I’m opening my courtroom to those who deal in paranormal activities as a way to help uncover evidence and assist me in determining who’s telling the truth,” said Seidlin. “Psychics, clairvoyants, and the telepathic are much like judges in that they possess tremendous intuition. I often rely on my intuition to determine who’s being truthful and who’s lying, and in ‘Psychic Court’ I’ll benefit from the assistance of those who are experienced in the paranormal. It’s going to be amazing.”

The new court series will be produced in high definition and distributed by Mighty Oak Entertainment.

Mark O’Brien, president of Mighty Oak Entertainment, added: “Law enforcement agencies and attorneys have been using paranormal practitioners for years. And with the growing popularity of shows like Ghost Whisperer, Medium, Ghost Hunters, Psychic Kids and Paranormal State, we believe it was time to open up America’s television courtrooms to the non-traditional truth seekers. We are pleased to be working with Judge Larry and look forward to bringing a totally different and compelling new court format to television.”

Syndication industry veteran and cable producer O’Brien launched Mighty Oak Entertainment after holding a number of executive sales positions in the entertainment industry including at such companies as Telepictures and Warner Bros and is credited with helping launch court staples as “The People’s Court,” “Moral Court,” “Superior Court” and “Judge Mathes.”

“Psychic Court” is the fourth dimension of court proceedings with most of the cases focusing on compelling family court, divorce court and small claim disputes. After all the worldly evidence has been heard from the defendant and plaintiff, Judge Larry will call on members of the psychic community, (who will have visited with the litigants prior to the show), to share their opinions. The psychics will take the stand, give testimony and present new evidence gathered from beyond in an effort to assist Judge Larry in deciding each case…which will be binding arbitration.

There are dozens of recognized psychic disciplines. “Psychic Court” will employ the services of top practitioners from the most popular paranormal categories, including:

*Mediums – Who will channel and communicate directly with the dead to gain new evidence.
*Astrologists – Who will uncover character defects based on the alignment of stars.
*Tarot Card Readers – Who will expose lies with the help of their mystical deck of cards.
*Remote Viewers – Who will visit the time and place of the conflict to provide eyewitness testimony.
*Faith-Based Sensitives – Who will consult with angels and saints to garner information critical to the case.

Seidlin was a judge for the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida in and for Broward Country. He served as the presiding judge during the infamous posthumous custody hearing regarding Anna Nicole Smith’s body. During the proceedings, Seidlin frequently threw out comedic one-liners, sending the courtroom into bursts of laughter by calling lawyers nicknames like “Texas” and “California,” and badgering attorneys with repeated interruptions about bad grammar and questionable strategies. He also interrogated witnesses himself and even made broad, bold declarations such as “I am the trier of fact” and “We are here on a search for the truth.” He retired from the bench in Summer of 2007.

Today, he’s written and published the book “The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith,” which was released in the United Kingdom to brisk sales. For its U.S. release, Judge Larry will be making promotional appearances on NBC’s “Today Show,” ABC’s “The View,” “Fox and Friends” and the Premier Radio Network.

After turning down Feel Good California Attorney General Jerry Brown’s, via his deputy attorney general on December 11, 2009 and denying the suspension of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich license Judge David Wesley gave Brown and his people a week to file a Motion and then Argue to the court on December 18, 2009.

Judge David Wesley said on December 11, 2009 that if the Medical Board was via the Attorney General office was concerned with the doctors’ practices, the Medical Board could apply for an order to monitor them.

Thus Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III, who reports directly to Brown, spent another week doing a Motion to monitor the two doctors and appeared yesterday to argue again.

Superior Court Judge David Wesley was not impressed with Jones’ second go around with a new Motion. Judge Wesley listened to Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III argument about why it would be in the public interest to now monitor the doctors. Judge Wesley read the newest Motion and listened to Jones’ “fresh arguments”; a couple of court room watchers said that Judge Wesley could be seen becoming agitated as Jones’ listed all of the reasons. Someone who has seen Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III in action before, said Jones is everything you don’t want a lawyer to be. He does not know how to give a presentation in court and he cannot keep his voice level, not a good face for the Attorney General’s office.

Not only did Judge Wesley deny the newest motion but decided to give Deputy Attorney General E.A. Jones III a few tips on how to prepare a Motion for presentation in his court. First the Motion was ill written and so was the argument before the court, also Judge Wesley pointed out that the Motion had “Typos” in it. The judge admonished Jones again for the second straight week, sending him packing to update his boss, AG Feel Good Brown

Feel Good Brown needed this to pass because he needs some face time with a press conference, although Brown commanded a huge lead for governor since the summer, he is now slipping in the polls. Add to that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger continues to slash jobs and money from the state’s budget to keep California afloat. Recently there was almost $393 million dollars for the Los Angeles County Courts and included one day a month that all employees take a day off without pay. Which leads me to the question, with all of those people employed is Brown’s office hiring the best in public service? He might think of redoing his office to get some proof reader to assure the embarrassment of Friday does not happen again.

This many high profile names in the headlines yesterday just from California is a good day for tabloid news, well except for Feel Good AG Jerry Brown of California. It almost appeared as the gubernatorial race is gearing up for 2010 Jerry Brown wanted some reason to give a press conference. Hey Mr. Brown, why Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khistine Eroshevich, you have a bag full of press time and face time if you would just discuss the case that is over shadowing the news media locally, nationally and internationally, remember Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray? The two doctors currently in court were doctors who main crime appears to be is being struck by the celebrity of their patient Anna Nicole Smith; thus involving a celebrity patient, Anna Nicole Smith, accidental death from prescription medication. On the other hand the Michael Jackson and Dr. Murray, involved a dangerous anesthesia, Propofol, IV poles and with a warning that a doctor is never suppose to give this powerful and potential lethal mediation except in the strict confines of a hospital under supervision with a crash cart nearby because it can kill your patient.

Dr. Perper ruled in Florida, that Anna Nicole Smith’s death was an accidental combination of prescriptions, with neither doctor that now faces a trial even present on her day of death. Michael Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide and that occurred in the state where feel good AG Jerry Brown, had jurisdiction over the corpse of Michael Jackson, you know he died in your state; jurisdiction over the dangerous Propofol anesthesia, equipped with IV poles, and a giant warning on it’s label of “DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME; and to make all of this a tidy backdrop for a picture perfect AG Jerry Brown to have a soapbox news conference. Brown has jurisdiction over all of the people, the celebrity death and the anesthesia and you have the physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, and yet Brown claims, if infotainment news is to be believed that Brown is laying low on the Jackson investigation, WHY?? Is that an admission that the Kapoor – Eroshevich investigation was botched by your office? Now that is not going to look good for an eighty year old “wanna be governor” who is setting his stars on the Smith death to gain the governorship of California just one more time. If you live in California would you want Brown in charge of your money and saving your state from total meltdown financially?

However, Brown not to be deterred sent his assistant attorney general; the one that would take over Brown’s job if at eighty Brown became sick while serving as the Attorney General of California. From the accounts inside the court room that poor man got his arse handed to him with a strong lecture, you have to wonder if this guy was worried that his boss, Brown was not going to get that face time Brown was hoping for. However, if Brown wants face time and plenty of it as the election year rolls around, my advice try concentrating on the Michael Jackson homicide, doesn’t his three small children deserve any less from the man who would spearhead any charges connected to their daddy’s murder/homicide?

Following sending Brown’s representative by to Brown’s office some strong directed words, only as Judge Wesley could do Brown’s guy was sent backing.

After the hearing, Eroshevich’s attorney, Adam Braun, told the media that; “There’s simply no basis to prevent her from practicing medicine at this point.”[This case] is related to a single patient and on its face, it’s laughable that she would [be deemed] an imminent threat to the public.”

Judge Wesley sat a “boring” Motion and how to interview those pesky people who stole a few things from Anna Nicole Smith and as one source who knows Ford Shelley said; he is strutting like a peacock saying he is the KEY witness in sending Howard K. Stern and the two doctors to prison. Well that is unless Shelley is indicted before he appears on some pesky federal charges for paying an FIDC bank loan off with a forged rental agreement which was not worth the papers Ford Shelley wrote it on. Shelley might just graduate from a no body to a high profile person in a way he does not want. Once source told us because of Shelley handling the family business in such a shell game stunt it has ripped the family apart and that Gina, Ford Shelley’s wife, has to do nails and hair to try to keep her husband afloat. I guess without Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate’s belongings to auction off for a flow of cash, Shelley is finding himself a tad broke, and minus family support. Wonder if this will be a wonderful holiday season for Shelley? Will the Thompson family invite him over for dinner, I am told don’t hold your breath and if you are going to make a bet, it would be that Shelley will be left out in the cold.

Back to the California criminal trial, Judge Wesley has set one “housekeeping” Motions, discovery, handing over more evidence to the defense etc. for Friday, December 18 and a tentative trial date of February 5, 2010. However, Steve Sadow, the lead attorney for Stern told the waiting press that because of Motions to be filed and the schedule of the Court his client’s trial might postpone until sometime in the summer of 2010.

I wonder if that will be enough time for Brown to decide to get the microphones ready for a series of news conferences to trout out the Jackson homicide for his gubernatorial campaign.

A court watcher media person told us from yesterday’s hearing that Stern looked more self assured, even with a tad of arrogance. My thoughts on that is I would be willing to bet if he has extra money these days jingling in his pocket and room to take a deep sigh these days that would be courtesy of Rita Cosby, although everyone is keeping mum about that to be sure something like the O’Quinn settlement from appearing on those pesky gossip sites, like “T”.

In filings with the court late Friday, July 31, 2009, the date Birkhead’s production of documents were due Birkhead’s lawyers filed a “Supplemental Response and Second Amended Response to Plaintiff’s First Request for Production and Motion for Protection/Reconsideration without waiving his Special Appearance objecting to Texas Jurisdiction.”

Here are the highlights that caught my attention in the fiery Ms. Diana Marshall’s filings.

Under Discovery must be limited to Texas Connections: Larry Birkhead says even if the allegations were true which he claims they were not then the TMZ story would be directed at a judge in the Bahamas and not Texas. This section ends with an ironic picture painted by Birkhead’s Texas lawyers of; “Plaintiff, [Arthur], had then and has now, a battery of lawyers, private investigators and hired guns; ironically Plaintiff complains about some industrious folks around the United States, including one or two in Texas, armed with computers who had the audacity to research public records without getting paid a nickel.”

Massive Discovery Abuse: “Plaintiff has induced this Court to enter orders effectively permitting Plaintiff to fish, rummage, terrorize, confiscate, search and seize. The pro se defendants accused largely of exercising freedom of the press have been bankrupted, threatened, arrested, jailed, sanctioned and robbed of privacy and the right to counsel. One lawyer after another has had to drop out of the case and stop representing any party with limited resources. Prior to any limited discovery to explore jurisdictional issues, vast, expensive, burdensome and voluminous production has been sought, requiring the specially appearing parties to scour, locate, read, copy, organize and analyze quantities of internet chatter, financial records, personal email and even unrelated litigation – unconstrained by any relevance to the alleged merits, much less Jurisdictional issues. …The Court’s recent ruling appears to have expanded Plaintiff’s request for production number one (1).” That appears to be referring to the change in date from September 20, 2006 through March 14, 2008 originally stated by the Court in discovery to now September 2006 through the present as is stated in the most recent Orders by the Court. Birkhead’s filing goes on to say, “[T]he Plaintiff’s attorneys’ vast wealth permits them to hire a forensic examiner to copy the whole file cabinets, the “hard drives” and internet servers, [yahoo], of those then defendants; and, so, the Court then ordered that all of them be confiscated, seemingly casually.

Plaintiff’s counsel is seeking to harass and burden people with the hope that they will finally fall prey to the no-case-playbook — winning by trumped up spoliation claims or sanctions. Compared to this blitzkrieg, Rambo was a sissy.”

Constitutional Right to Limitation of Discovery: “…Plaintiff’s counsel, Neil McCabe, has admitted quite candidly that his discovery requests are “form” and are not limited to jurisdictional issues. That reality is undeniable. On July 17, 2009, the Court heard Defendant’s objections that the “form” document request served by Plaintiff on all defendants, including Larry Birkhead, was not tailored toward the jurisdictional issues, nor was it limited in scope to Texas jurisdictional contacts, nor was it limited solely to the alleged act of delivery of the “step-brother” story to Californian Harvey Levin – the sole alleged conduct of Larry Birkhead…”

Birkhead seeks Protection: “…A citizen who has never traveled to Texas is entitled to be free of the tyranny of a party dragging him to a jurisdiction remote to him so as to fish through his personal, financial and legal documents. Plaintiff pursues Larry Birkhead with the ulterior motive of trying to interfere with the custodial rights of Larry Birkhead as a parent, and she is using the power of unbridled discovery, expense and burden to do so. None of this serves any definition of justice. …Larry Birkhead files these supplemental responses and objections, itemized following the seventy-five (75) subparts of Plaintiff’s document requests.” This filing was signed by Birkhead’s lead Texas attorney, Diana Marshall.

You have to like any lawyer that is willing to state their feelings with direct and none evasvie statements don’t you?

The objections you can read for yourself along with Exhibits B and C. We have decided not to put up Exhibit A, the emails, although I would like to know what the “redacted” part of the emails Larry Birkhead and I have exchanged, I am left wondering what the guy said about me in the margins of those emails. However, that is NOT the reason we decided not to put up the 60 pages of emails making up Exhibit A. We decided to not put them up for the simple reason that Birkhead’s email addresses, multiple ones, have been redacted where NO ONE else’s email addresses have been redacted. The fact that some of the emails were from Plaintiff, Virgie Arthur’s, grandchildren including name, email address asking questions and in some stating their parents nor their grandmother knew they had emailed Birkhead. It was those emails that weighed the heaviest on us as we made the decision to not put up Exhibit A. However, Exhibit B, Birkhead’s Privilege log and Exhibit C Mrs. Barth’s partial resume are in our download section for all of you.

In the filings and exhibits dated July 31, 2009 titled Larry Birkhead’s Supplemental Response and Second Amended Response to Plaintiff’s First Request for Production and Motion for Protective Reconsideration in regards to Virgie Arthur’s First Request for Production of Documents. Birkhead specifically states he is not waiving his Special Appearance by this additional filing asking the court for reconsideration of it’s ruling from the bench ordering Birkhead to comply on July 17 by July 31, 2009. There is also as we stated Larry Birkhead’s Exhibit B, Birkhead’s Privilege Log and Exhibit C the partial resume of Mrs. Barth, Howard K. Stern’s lawyer turned Larry Birkhead’s lawyer as of November 2007, you have to say that makes for strange bed fellows, and skating close on ice to conflict of interests in future representation of either man my research shows.

Birkhead then relates his original detailed objections and on page eight (8) of the filing begins his new Objections while also answering some of the document requests from the numerous sources. There are a few interesting things in this for all of us I believe.

In part two in relation “to [C]opies of all communications, including but not limited to email and other electronic communications, for the period of September 2006 to present, between you and the following or about the following:” on page twelve in regards to Howard K. Stern part C states that Stern “has been the long time attorney in the Anna Nicole Smith v. E. Pierce Marshall litigation. Communications made in that connection would be governed by the attorney/client or joint defense privilege, as a result of the rights of Birkhead’s minor child in regard to such litigation.” The “attorney/client or joint defense privilege” caught my attention and it is hard to discern if Birkhead is saying Stern has done some legal work for him or if this is all about the appeals connection to Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate and the Estate of E. Pierce Marshall litigation currently pending before the ninth circuit court of appeals.

However, what caught my attention the most in this part are three things, that on April 14, 2007, Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead entered into a “Trust Agreement” just 4 days after the DNA results were announced and before the final custody hearing in the Bahamas was held. The second thing that caught my attention is the reference to the “ANS, [Anna Nicole Smith], Trust” as of August 2, 2007. Birkhead states that he has located these documents and they are being withheld, and not even on the list in Exhibit B for the in camera section to be reviewed by the Court. The final thing that caught my eye here in this section is the date of “October 7, 2008 proprietary images”, it does not state if it is Anna Nicole Smith’s images, Birkhead’s or Dannielynn and that will be important in the section for communications in 2009 under Mrs. Barth’s list of work she is still performing for Larry Birkhead. It appears that perhaps Stern was doing this before 2009 for Birkhead. Some of this now appears to be part of Mrs. Barth’s duties, in my opinion, and I found it quite fascinating to ponder.

Then we get to what to me was the most interesting part and that is Mrs. Barth’s overlapping role of personal attorney for both Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead beginning on page 13. She, Mrs. Barth, per this legal document “has served as Larry Birkhead’s personal attorney regarding personal matters and as to the estate of Birkhead’s minor child”, a fascinating over lapping of two previous adversaries that could one day become adversaries again thus putting Barth in a quandary of probably having to drop both men as clients possibly right when she is so involved in Howard K. Stern’s criminal defense in California.

Objection A. states “No Texas Connection” and goes on to state where Mrs. Barth practices and what she specializes in which is not criminal law by the way. Objection B states in part, “No Case Connection. Plaintiff does not allege that Mrs. Barth was acting in Texas or that Barth has any role to play in any actions of which Virgie [Arthur] complains.” That part to me appears to omit the fact that Mrs. Barth did serve as Stern’s co-counsel as a pro hac vice attorney in the Texas Southern District Court in the Virgie Arthur vs. Howard K. Stern and CBS which settled earlier this year.

Birkhead goes on to state that [documents] “communications between Birkhead and Barth have been located and will NOT be produced…” This includes it appears that Birkhead became one of Barth’s clients in personal matters as of Nov. 26, 2007 while still serving as Stern’s counsel in multiple cases in multiple forums including the Texas Southern District Federal Court.

Barth’s duties as Birkhead’s personal attorney, other than partying with him in California, have included, setting up the Larry Birkhead Estate and the Larry Birkhead Trust. I would love to read the correspondence referred to on April 23, 2009 of “Estate Images”. Why you asked because it was just days before I wrote a controversial piece involving Mrs. Barth and the bombarding of threats of lawsuits, the postings by Birkhead on this blog including snide comments about my illness, and emails from Birkhead wanting to “lecture me”. I have been told I am one of the few blog owners/journalists that has refused an interview with Birkhead, go figure. The other thing that is puzzling to me, is that on the day of her client’s, [Stern not Birkhead], criminal arraignment in California three different sources in the gallery say they heard Mrs. Barth with Howard K. Stern’s lead criminal attorney Steve Sadow, not discussing what they would bring up to the Court during the arraignment but instead Mrs. Barth’s snide [that is how they were described to me], remarks about both Rose Speaks.com and myself to Mr. Sadow. Now wouldn’t you think that as long and as many different venues that Barth appears and represents Stern in ESPECIALLY the California criminal court she would have better things to discuss prior to the hearing and not cracking jokes about a lone blogger in Texas? I am crushed especially since emails from Mrs. Barth in 2007 said, I had restored her faith in the goodness of people, oh well I shall live. I am waiting for the August 12 preliminary hearing to see if she still is making rude comments and cracking jokes about me or is down to the serious business of a criminal trial. From the Exhibit C of Birkhead’s filing this appears to be Mrs. Barth’s first hands on criminal trial.

Finally what caught my eye is on page 16 we have Birkhead stating he has NEVER had or is unable to locate any communications between himself and any employee of TMZ Productions Inc. or the managing editor Harvey Levin. That leaves me with the question did Birkhead hand deliver the stories that appeared on TMZ.com in person or did he dictate them by phone? The in person is the most plausible answer because of the documents he released with the exclusives to TMZ.com as in a copy of Debra Opri’s bill.

Later I am going to debunk some of the testimony of May 21st in the Texas state court in relation to Lyndal Harrington going to jail for the Memorial day holiday by Melinda Burleson and why Mrs. Burleson’s testimony will not hold up under scrutiny and records. It is nice though that she has submitted herself to Texas jurisdiction for future hearings in the Harris County case as well as possible spin off cases from those proceedings. If you lie in court in a quasi-criminal proceeding, which sends someone to jail in a civil suit, is it considered a crime, or just wanting to be a part of all of this so bad you will say almost anything and change sides with the frequency of a revolving door? Mrs. Burleson might get to see more of Texas and spend more time here then she bargained for, go figure.

It appears as of today that G. Ben Thompson’s attorney, Susan M. Brown, has NOT responded to the Motion to Compel her for a deposition pending in the case of Anna Nicole Smith’s Estate vs. G. Ben Thompson and Ford Shelley which will be covered in another article as will Mrs. Burleson and the debunking of her testimony.

In other Larry Birkhead news, on September 25, 2009 at 8:30 AM is a status hearing on both cases of Larry Birkhead vs. Debra Opri and Debra Opri vs. Larry Birkhead in the California cases since the appeal of Debra Opri was denied and the case was sent back to state district court. From the records online it appears that Opri has some changes of lawyers and Birkhead appearing to have added lawyers, we might know in regards to discovery where the cases are going from here after this hearing.

You are probably wondering where I came up with “Three Blind Mice?”…well, that’s what they looked like to me in the arraignment room: Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, and Dr. Sandeep A. Kapoor. OK, all kidding aside – Today was a very serious and intense day for Stern and the Doctors, and for me as well!

Believe it or not, the intensity surrounding my being at this arraignment today was unbelievable and completely ludicrous. As I was told a week before this arraignment that I was dressed “too over the top” at the last arraignment outing and seem to spark a little “Daniel” controversy, etc. But I am a big boy and where there is scandal, there is Daniel! LOL!

Well, I arrived at the courthouse early this morning as was a throng of media awaiting the arrival of “the three blind mice”! First to arrive was Dr. Khristine and her team, Dr. Khris and her lawyer, Adam Braun, both gave me a very friendly “Hello”, which I thought was very sweet considering their circumstances, although I didn’t care much for her “Saint John – like” rose/salmony colored skirt suit, looked old fashioned and her hair was a little too flat.

Next to arrive was “the ring master” himself Howard K. Stern and his legal eagles! Stern seem to have a strange almost goofy walk to me today, not his usual “sternest”. I walked in behind Howard K. Stern and his team, including Chris Smith Esq. of California and Steve Sadow of Georgia. When I was about to go through the security check, I didn’t realize that Dr. Kapoor was in front of me in line and was very solemn! It seemed that Dr. Kapoor didn’t garner that much attention as I thought he would.

Although I do have to state the fashions at this arraignment were not the best. I understand it is a courtroom, but everyone looked a little lackluster for some reason. I did not condone the “hummingbird’s”, from my last writing, fashion choice: pale gray pantsuit, which is fine, but her pants were shoved up her behind, and it looked like her pants were wedged in her. Sorry, a major faux pas!

Next, we were all up in the arraignment room. I was wishing they would have kicked on the AC, because it was a little too stuffy for me. Anyway, Howard and the 2 docs and their legal teams took the first 2 rows, center.

When the “three blind mice” were called to the stand, all I could see was “the hummingbird’s” wedge! Also, it was very hard to hear in the courtroom, I actually had to cup my ear to hear better, considering that the judge is wearing a microphone, go figure.

All three put in “Not Guilty Pleas”. Surprise! “Lin Wood’s” name did come up a lot in the arraignment hearing, more about that in part 2 of this series. The Commissioner granted the prosecutor’s motions: Handwriting exemplars from each defendant, etc, and a protective order against dissemination of discovery to protect privacy.

I felt that Dr. Khris and especially Dr. Kapoor seemed to be the most serious in the hearing today, maybe scared? All “three blind mice” held their hands clasped in front of them as school kids would facing a principal. At one point to add to the “circus” in the courtroom, a woman who “organizes” the people in the courtroom actually walked up to me as I was sitting, watching and listening intently to the hearing, and leaned over and whispered to me “Wow, you have such nice hair and skin!” I was like “huh?”!

After the “Not Guilty” pleas were stated, “the three blind mice” and I went down stairs to the awaiting press conference. Howard and his legal eagles were first. At almost the same time, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and her team dashed to an awaiting limo and skipped the press conference. What was that about?!

Anyway, Steve Sadow took center stage and proceeded to, as it seemed, to hash over the same things again: Attorney General Jerry Brown, etc. It seemed that the Stern team wanted to “lighten” it up a bit. The press wanted to hear Howard K. Stern say something, but he didn’t.

I stood behind Dr. Kapoor and Howard and his legal team during his press conference. I didn’t feel that the press seemed that interested in Dr. Kapoor, I may be wrong about that, but that is what it felt like. When the press conference was over, the entire media throng encased Howard and his team all the way to their limo. Howard, to me, seems to enjoy the attention. I am not saying that this is a bad trait, but a little odd, maybe? The press left “poor” Dr. Kapoor standing there as they followed Howard.

After Howard’s limo exited, the press started asking me questions. I did a “mini” press conference! I was asked many questions and I did the best I could answering them. I gave some heartfelt “Anna” comments and also gave my own insight into this tragedy. Daniel DiCriscio’s comments were picked up by E Online! Although, I did have one interviewer ask me “off the record”, ” Why did Howard bring out of state attorney’s, isn’t that illegal?” I heard that a lot today from other people in the courtroom, too.

I thought I heard in the courtroom the judge say June 24th or 25th for the preliminary hearing, but I think I heard “the hummingbird” say she is going on vacation the 26th, so they will all have to come back and set a date. The preliminary hearing is to be set for some time in June 2009, and is expected to last 2 weeks…Yikes!
