Thread Number Two
Yes...and it seems that hardly anyone even knew that she was in the states, much less staying at the HRH in Ft. Lauderdale. That response from Sanchez was really contrived.
I wish Jack Ford was on without Lisa Bloom.
Ford is apoplectic about Stern as well as the guest attorney.
Conflict of interest so blatent.
Well, we know!
Gee. Who knew Dr. Perp was such a computer expert [sarcasm]? Did a forensics computer technician check for "deleted" and hidden files??? Oh, I forgot...there's nothing to see here, move along, ppl. What a crying shame.
"HKS is trying to get them to alter the jury selection process. He then asked the court to toss the press out during the discussion."
Yeah right...because they needed to clear the courthouse just to have THAT discussion...catering to HKS's lawyers, already?
"And, moreover, with the fact that you had Dr. Christine Arosovitch (ph) there, present, a physician, taking care of the situation and being able to control the temperature. She was able to get the temperature down to 97 degrees, as Dr. Perper stated. They put her in an ice bath. They provided the Cipro and they provided the Tamiflu. And she was getting better by Tuesday morning."
Sanchez-HKS attorney, so KE was there for the ice bath?
Allyson Maynard Gibson looks to be married to Max Gibson.
Yep, I know exactly when they cut away, too. They had just asked her if it were possible that she was already dead - and she started thinking backwards and noting milestones - then said, she could've been dead for 2 hours or more.
And we know now that the body was moved from its original position, if what Tas and Brigitte both said was true.
If, indeed, the discoloration was lividity - a fact I had pretty much played down, thinking it was just skin damage coming to the surface because of poor circulation - IF that's what it was, then she would've been lying face down when she actually died or was as close to it possible.
When or if Moe actually came in, scooped her up out of bed, after taking the sheet off from over her face yet again - the ladies having done the same earlier - then the livor mortis more likely started and became fixed while she was on her back, with all the resuscitation efforts, from Mo on down to the first responders.
That's how it wound up at the ME's office - and it was still movable when the girls found her, so it pooled around on the back of her body.
""""HKS is trying to get them to alter the jury selection process""""
Showing off - he wants "voire dire" like in the US.
Hypocrite doesn't want a custody case like in the US.
He is disgusting - always protecting his sorry arse!
Expert Weighs In On Anna Nicole's Death
Defense Attorney Roy Black Says There Is No Evidence Of Foul Play
(CBS) According to the medical examiner's report, Anna Nicole Smith died after accidentally overdosing on at least nine prescription drugs.
Defense attorney Roy Black says that the findings should put any accusations about foul play to rest.
"I think that the medical examiner's report, the press conference by the police chief, have given Howard (K.) Stern a clean bill of health here," Black told The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen. "The autopsy was a six-hour autopsy detailed findings. When you take a look at the report, you see that he's clear. They also did a timeline. They did a scene examination. They released a lot of papers. And I think it shows that Howard Stern had no participation in her death."
Smith's last days were difficult ones. She endured stomach flu, a 105-degree fever, pungent sweating and an infection on her buttocks from repeated injections.
In an autopsy report released Monday, the medical examiner noted the former Playboy Playmate refused to go to a hospital three days before her Feb. 8 death. She chose to ride out her illness in a hotel suite littered with pill bottles, soda cans, SlimFast, nicotine gum and an open box of Tamiflu tablets.
Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper found that in the days leading up to her death, the 39-year-old Smith had been taking large amounts of the seldom-prescribed sedative chloral hydrate, which also contributed to the 1962 overdose death of Smith's idol, Marilyn Monroe.
Dr. Perper said Smith might have been simply unaware that the sedative could be fatal in combination with multiple other prescriptions she was taking in normal doses for anxiety, depression and insomnia.
Contributing factors included her weakened condition from a stomach flu and fever brought on by a pus-filled infection on her buttocks from repeated injection of other drugs.
"She may have taken the dosages she was accustomed to but succumbed because she was already weakened," Dr. Perper said in his report. "Miss Smith has a long history of prescription drug abuse and self-medicated in the past."
Black said there was no evidence of wrong-doing on the part of Smith's doctors.
"Every one of these drugs was in therapeutic amounts," he said. "There was not an overdose of any particular drug. We don't see any evidence of over-prescribing. Nothing that was done that as far as we can tell that was certainly criminal or maybe not even civil. So, certainly doctors have been sued for not giving the right advice, prescribing too much of the drugs. But there's no evidence of it here that we've been able to see."
Black said that should Smith's mother, Virgie Arthur, decide to sue Smith's doctors, she wouldn't have a strong case.
"Virgie Arthur and her lawyer have made all kinds of accusations, particularly against Howard Stern," Black said. "They're accusing him of murder. Even last night, her lawyer was on television accusing him of murder, even in the face of this report. If I was them, I'd be worried about being sued for slander, myself."
An important question still remains unanswered: Who is the biological father of Smith's infant daughter, Dannielynn? The next step, Black said, is dealing with the findings of the DNA test which should come out next month.
"That should end that matter," Black said. "Because clearly any court is going to give the child to whoever the biological father is. They already know the results. They have not released them yet. But clearly that's the only logical and intelligent result of that proceeding."
Black also thinks that Arthur has little chance of getting custody of Dannielynn because the biological father would have to be proved to be incompetent or that living with the father would not be in the best interest of the child. Even then, Black said it is unlikely that Arthur would get custody.
"I don't even think she would qualify to be the custodian because she certainly didn't do a great job with Anna Nicole," Black said.
In the Bahamas, an inquest into the death of Smith's son, Daniel, is scheduled more than six months after he passed away.
"Well, it's important under the you know, the Bahamas is under the English system. They have inquests," Black said. "They'll have seven Bahamian citizens listen to weeks of testimony to determine if Daniel died of an accidental overdose or if it was homicide or some other cause. The evidence we've seen certainly points to an accident as well."

Assuming you might have asked because you missed it, yes there were experts who search it, and they did a search of the deleted information, BUT, Perper was assisted in reviewing ALL of the email by HKS's criminal attorney.
Mike Obryant (?)...the CourtTV reporter seemed to think that the judge was fairly laid back and is trying to be accomodating here at the start, but if HKS continues to push things, the judge will become as strict as he has to be.
He also said that it is important to the Bahamians to include the press and make this a very open and public hearing. There is no gag order. They don't want to be "Arubad" because Americans think they didnt' do a full investigation.
Mr. Max Gibson, husband of Allyson Maynard-Gibson, the MP for Pinewood and Minister for Investments and Financial Services sits on the Bank of The Bahamas Board; and brother-in-law Larry Gibson sits on the Financial Services Forum. Mrs. Gibson is, of course, the daughter of former PLP MP for Yellow Elder and Deputy Prime Minister in the last PLP Government.

Who is Max Gibson related to?
I won't believe a word ANY of them say unless MAYBE they are under oath.
It has become the reason for celebrity problems: blame the media for your need to go to rehab, getting into accidents, failure to go to the hospital (yes, the lamest of all), etc.
OH dang...I hope CTV doesn't switch...does anyone know if there is coverage anywhere else?
What did those emails have to do with a press conf regarding an autopsy???
Well did they "toss out the press" from the courtroom?
Stern and company viewed her first and foremost as their meal ticket, which is why they refused to take her to the hospital to forgo the bad publicity that an overdose would generate. (not to mention the impact on the custody battle)
