L Lin Wood sues National Enquirer for Natalee Holloway's mom Beth Holloway

L Lin Wood is representing Natalee Holloway’s Mother Elizabeth Ann “Beth” Holloway in a lawsuit against the National Enquirer. The Original Complaint filed June 20, 2012 stated; [this] “Complaint for the tort of outrage and invasion of privacy arises from the publication of false and horrific headlines, statements, photographs and articles by American Media, Inc. and The National Enquirer, Inc. …The headlines, statements, photographs and articles were an attempt by Defendants to profit off the tragic and still unresolved disappearance of Natalee Holloway (“Natalee”) and the plight of her mother, Plaintiff Elizabeth Ann ["Beth"] Holloway (“Holloway”).”

“Defendants’ conduct in publishing these false statements and accompanying manufactured photographs has been so outrageous in character, and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and is to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community. Furthermore, by publishing these false and disgusting statements and photographs, Defendants intentionally and maliciously intruded into Holloway’s emotional sanctum.”

For those of us that heard about Natalee Holloway on the news during the summer of 2005; the Original Complaint has interest in that it outlines the sadness of Natalee Holloway. Natalee was a beautiful intelligent young woman, just graduating from high school with her whole life ahead or her on a school trip to Aruba.

“…Natalee Holloway (“Natalee”), was one of about 120 students from Mountain Brook High School in Birmingham, Alabama, who took a senior class graduation trip to the island of Aruba in May 2005. …The students began their trip on May 26, 2005, and were scheduled to
return to the United States on May 30, 2005. …At approximately 1:30 a.m. on the morning of May 30, 2005, Natalee was last seen entering a car with Joran van der Sloot, Deepak Kalpoe and Satish Kalpoe. …Natalee failed to meet her classmates for their return flight to the United States. …Despite repeated searches of Aruba and its waters, neither Natalee nor Natalee’s remains have ever been located.” …As time passes, the probability that Natalee is dead increases. …”

“…In June of 2011, seeking some closure in his daughter’s disappearance, Natalee’s father filed paperwork seeking to have her declared dead. …Natalee was declared legally dead in January of 2012, but her body has never actually been found. Thus, whether she is actually dead is still unknown.”

“…["Beth"] Holloway disagreed with her ex-husband’s decision to have Natalee declared dead and has been quoted as saying that she “will always hope and pray for Natalee’s safe return”. …continues to work tirelessly to learn of her daughter’s fate. …The false and outrageous articles and photographs graphically describe the purported despicable treatment of Natalee’s corpse”.

Think about that, they kissed their daughter good-bye for a trip thousands of teens take every summer. Not only do they not have closure, a body to bury, a grave to place flowers on or to go to and pray, but Joran van der Sloot remains in the news. For those that buy rag mags as I call them, a publication is still raking in money over this tragedy.

Then of course is the tragedy of Joran van der Sloot murder of Stephany Flores on the 5th anniversary of Natalee Holloway’s disappearance and now Natalee is presumed dead. What a celebration huh?

In that case Joran van der Sloot was ordered by a three-judge panel in Lima Peru to pay $75,000(59,000 Euro) in reparations for the “cruel” and “ferocious” murder that took place exactly five years to the day after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba. I am assuming that is the money paid by Holloway’s mother through a FBI sting. The court in Peru made a recent ruling that Joran van der Sloot CAN BE EXTRADITED TO THE USA sadly however, only after “…he serves the 28 years he received in the murder of Stephany Flores. Under Peru’s laws Van Der Sloot release might be sooner than later. Due to time already served, the judges said Van Der Sloot’s sentence would end in June 2038. But under Peru’s penal system, Van der Sloot could become eligible for parole after serving half of the sentence with good behavior, including work and study. Van Der Sloot could be freed sometime in his late 30s if paroled after serving half of his 28-year sentence.” That equates to approximately the year of 2020.

Then add the sick fact Joran van der Sloot has decided to appeal that 28 year sentenced because his lawyer “lied to him”, WTH, I guess he could spot a fellow liar? If it could not get any sicker than all of that the latest rumors is some woman is about to marry him in prison, don’t even get me started on jail house “groupies”.

We are going to cover this case because; 1. It is in a federal court so I can get the papers which is a prerequisite for the majority of trials we cover here on Rose Speaks.com; 2. It deals with a teenagers tragic death and apparent murder; 3. L Lin Wood is involved and all of us here at Rose Speaks.com enjoy the lawsuits Mr. Wood takes on; and 4. Will the Holloway family find any new clues or have closure finally?

Here are the papers as of today:

June 12, 2012 Holloway Exhibit 1 Complaint National Enquirer (284)
June 12, 2012 Holloway Exhibit 2 Complaint National Enquirer (261)
June 12, 2012 Beth Holloway Original Complaint Against National Enquirer (276)
June 12, 2012 Holloway Exhibit 3 Complaint National Enquirer (267)

July 13, 2012 Corporate Disclosure Statement by American Media Inc. (300)
July 13, 2012 Corporate Disclosure Statement by National Enquirer Inc. (128)

July 13, 2012 MOTION for Extension of Time to File Answer or Otherwise Respond and to Set Briefing Schedule by American Media Inc, National Enquirer Inc, (302)

The only immediate problem in this lawsuit I see is what is the statue of limitation for libel and/or defamation in Alabama? Here in Texas I believe it is one year, if you know what it is in Alabama please let us know! However, Beth Holloway is suing for “tort of outrage” and “invasion of privacy”, which probably does not follow the same rules of th statue of limitation for libel and/or defamation.

Teen Text Murder Victim Mike Yepremyan

Once in a while our justice system works as it should.

GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS IN MIKE ‘GOMBERT’ YEPREMYAN TEEN TEXT MURDER TRIAL

Zareh Manjikian and Vahagn Jurian guilty of murder and other charges.

Hovic Dzhuryan and his sister Khatun ‘Kat’ Vardanyan guilty of conspiracy to commit murder

Mike Yepremyan was murdered November 2009 and the trial began just a few weeks ago June 2012. Mike is the first highlighted teen text murder case in the U. S. involving the California Homicide Detectives, the U. S. Marshalls as the murderers fled the U. S. and the FBI for those hiding here.

On the Yepremyan murder case it was the lawyers, Michael Levin, Esq. Alex Kessel, Esq., Levin is representing Zareh Manjikian and Kessel is representing Vahag Jurian. Also present everyday is Hovic Dzhuryan and his sister Kat Vardanian, Anthony Brooklier is representing Kat and George Mgdesyan is representing Hovic.

Judge Gregory A. Dohi of the Los Angeles Superior Court is presiding, Dept. E. Judge Dohi has only been a judge since being appointed August 29, 2007. Prior to that he attended a mid level university back East, Harvard!! And then went to Boalt Hall School of Law, one thing we can say is that this guy has educational credentials in the highest categories of law.

Judge Dohi was admitted to the bar in 1991 and joined the District Attorney’s office as a prosecutor.

Artak and Arni Yepreyman was in the court for the reading of the verdicts. Let’s hope as each GUILTY!!! was read they found some peace in God’s hands, that our justice system although slow, can work! We do not know if Danielle, Mike’s former girlfriend was present but as we get updates you will get updates.

Special thanks to Lt. Hamilton and Detective Thomas Townsend, of North Hollywood Division of the L.A.P.D. Homicide and their team of team of homicide cops, The Los Angeles Grand Jury for indicting these four and Office Kirkpatrick and John J Nazarian Celebrity PI who just could not walk away from this case.

As Nazarian once said; “These people who were involved in the killing of Mike Yepremyan are looking at a whole lotta of time, and the district attorney’s office is going to be sure they get all that they got coming to them and more, time is wonderful unless you are in a state prison.”

In a L. A. Times article today by Robert Faturechi;

“the indictment also named another member of the group, Lazar Petrosyan, who authorities said is being treated as a witness, not a suspect.

We will be verifying this as soon as possible, but my bet is because of the flight risk, Kat and her brother will be spending their first night in jail the first of many.

R.I.P. Mike and may your family be comforted by knowing they stayed the course and may sure you were remember both of your organ donations, but also they never tired, they saw your killers brought to justice.

Teen Text Murder Victim Mike Yepremyan

As reported by John J Nazarian:

The Yepremyan murder trial is wrapping up after several weeks, it is the process that is also a real killer. Can you begin to imagine the Yepremyans sitting day in and day out within feet of those responsible for the murder of their only son. Having to sit and watch all of the evidence that at times was gruesome. There were photos of the autopsy, their boy laying there dead. And worse yet was the silly shit the defense attorneys would pull on witnesses, and the shenanigans (one would have to wonder what redeeming qualities lawyers like this have? What would it be like to have their son or daughter laying on a stainless steel table with a bullet hole in the head? Getting ready to be sliced and diced during an autopsy). Just me thinking our loud.

The defense attorneys have pulled out all the stops. Kessel was the most annoying in so much that he does his job and enjoys it. What job do you ask? Get the guilty out of the belly of the beast at all costs and this trial was no exception. Just like ‘OJ’ everyone knew Simpson killed his wife and the kid. And he was found not guilty by a gaggle of some of the dumbest human beings to ever walk the face of this planet…it all caught up with him in time (this was probably one of the rare examples of a “jury of your peers” ).

Likewise, everyone with any brains knows exactly what happened that night in North Hollywood, who killed Mike Yepremyan, who put it all into motion and all of the players. The truth has little or no place in a criminal court, it is defense games and police detectives and prosecutors who waltz around with the freedom of those in the jaws of the system. The jury system as I have often stated is a total joke for the most part, “a jury of your peers.” Really? So would I have 12 former cops on a jury, does a doctor get a jury of other doctors to decide ones innocence or guilt? Of course not, jury selection is a science for those who want to spend the money on professionals who can pick certain ‘candidates’ with certain characteristics that will be favorable for your client.

That was not the case in the Yepremyan murder case, Not Guilty or Guilty is not going to bring back Mike ‘Gombert’ Yepremyan from his grave in Forest Lawn. One big help for the defense was the fact all of Mikes ‘friends’ that night seemed to have forgotten and lied about a shotgun that was in the trunk of Mike’s car. For sure it was not put there by Mike, but by one of his friends who thought that his military career was going to be helpful in the event of something happening. In the end it may well have gave the defense a gift, sure a real big gift to the defendants. Sure, they all lied (Mike’s friends who all watched and did nothing) about an issue that if it had been told to the cops at the time would have been a non-issue. Having any long gun in your trunk is not an issue, tell the cops the truth and all would have been fine, but to lie? The whole bunch of you may have given rise to letting the killers off, we will see.

Worse yet was that this same group that were standing feet away when Mike was murdered also lied to the grand jury! WTF were you thinking guys, you never used the gun obviously, are you all that f’n ignorant? You soldier boy should have got it and used it at the fleeing murders who had just shot your best friend in the neck. But nooo, you and the others decided to try and lie and forget about a non-fucking issue. Congratulations, the whole bunch of you may very well be responsible for Mike Yepremyan and his Mom and Dad never seeing justice…all because you lied!

Now if the jury is smart and the prosecutor is as good an actor as some of the members of the defense team. This jury may well understand that they are sitting and looking at those responsible for the murder of Mike ‘Gombert’ Yepremyan. If these defendants are to be found not guilty, as I said when ‘OJ’ was found not guilty, the defendants took the risks, they played the game and payed dearly for a great defense team… this is after all our system of justice.

One other note, as many of you will recall in my earlier writings on Desperateexes.com I talk about the “Armenian Factor.” This “Factor” is as real as dead fish will stink, fruit will rot and for law enforcement the “Armenian Factor,” encompasses all of this and much more in investigating crimes involving this element.

Teen Text Murder Victim Mike Yepremyan

As reported by John J Nazarian:

Mike Yepremyan was murdered November 2009 and the trial began just a few weeks ago June 2012. The jury selection is always one of the more uninteresting aspects of the process, ‘Select a Jury’. Let me just say this for the defendants how the lawyers select a jury can be a crap shoot. On many real big high profile cases there are ‘specialists’ who help with the process. These experts will look at the shoes,’shined not shined’, the hair, all kind of mannerisms to try and pick the most favorable. Little like how I pick peaches at the market, all by hand!

On the Yepremyan murder case it was the lawyers, Michael Levin, Esq. Alex Kessel, Esq., Levin is representing Zareh Manjikian and Kessel is representing Vahag Jurian. Also present everyday is Hovic Dzhuryan and his sister Kat Vardanian, Anthony Brooklier is representing Kat and George Mgdesyan is representing Hovic. Did either Brooklier or Mgdesyan assist in the jury selection? I am not sure, all of these guys are well trained and respected for their work as ‘Get me off the hook’ go to guys. The biggest name in the bunch is of course is Anthony Brooklier, one of the biggest names in defense in So. Cal. right up there with Harland Braun, Esq. Kessel and Levin are very good at their craft also, Mgdesyan, I have never heard of until this trial.

I met with Brooklier with one of the defendants in the Anna Nicole Smith trial and after a great lunch of Spaghetti and Meatballs my client ‘flew the coop’. I was done with her and Brooklier was not retained, I still see that as a big mistake…..welcome to my world of making suggestions.

Judge Gregory A. Dohi of the Los Angeles Superior Court is presiding, Dept. E. Judge Dohi has only been a judge since being appointed August 29, 2007. Prior to that he attended a mid level university back East, Harvard!! And then went to Boalt Hall School of Law, one thing we can say is that this guy has educational credentials in the highest categories of law.

Judge Dohi was admitted to the bar in 1991 and joined the District Attorney’s office as a prosecutor. (Judge Dohi handled the pre-lim of Robert Blake Feb. 26, 2003 after he supposedly ‘whacked’ his wife after a nice Italian dinner at Vittello’s in Studio City). I wonder if they had ‘Meatballs’?

When Judge Dohi is not siting on the bench he is a professor at Southwestern School of Law. His honor ran for his ‘bench seat’ in 2010 and won the election, no one else it appears ran against him, this is often the case for sitting judges. Judge Dohi also sent Jodie Foster’s father, Blake Foster, to prison for 5 years for scamming home owners. Not bad, Judge Gregory A. Dohi, welcome to being a jurist in Southern California.

The only issue that I have is that with this education, with this employment background he has to know the law backwards and forwards. On paper this guy does not look like he would be easy to sell a bridge to…..we will see.

Some feathers are being ruffled as to having Mike Yepremyan’s parents, Artak and Arni sit outside the courtroom while certain witnesses testify. Former friends of Mike’s that both of the parents had spoken to after the murder of their son. Is this any kind of violation of ‘victims rights’? I am not sure. What I am hearing and understanding, is a Judge not wanting to make any mistakes that in the event of a conviction, so will start the appeal process. If there are convictions and there is any money left certainly there will be an appeal, that is fairly common in cases like this.

Remember, I promised to do all I could to make this story known around the world. I got it in the Los Angeles Times, Column One front page above the crease, we discussed it throughout the internet, all of the local news channels and the icing on the cake for me is Luce Villareal, taping for what will be a segment on DATELINE. If you will, prior to my participation in this case this was a ‘two line story’ on the L.A. Times webpage……not anymore!

I am not positive as I have not been served yet with a subpoena, maybe when I return from vacation in a few weeks as to my having to testify? We will see! My reason and thoughts on this was last week’s question by Mr. Kessel to Danielle, Mike’s former girlfriend, ‘Do you know a Mr. Nazarian? ‘ or something along those lines. I am very sure, everyone knows Mr. Nazarian, just Google me! Hell, I Google myself sometimes when I am bored to see what Mr. Nazarian is doing.
