Thread Number Two
all the money aside... I think Larry really loves that baby and he really was out to protect her the best he could. Now that her mother is dead he has more of a reason to protect her from the evil b@stard Stern.
I think he would make great shark bait. You also know he can't navigate that boat that is why he brought Gibson and the other guy with him to Florida.
Basically, the hosts were positive on the effort and likelihood of LB going for the DNA in Ohio. But it did not sound like they had any real info on that happening.
Pro also said he thought the judge in the Bahamas would be OK with it, provided due respect was given to the court there thru some kind of filings.
That would be fine. Then the witnesses at the Inquest can say what they REALLY know about what happened without fear of some "accident" becoming them. And if the truth comes out of that inquest, then maybe, just MAYBE, they'll take another look at Anna's death.
I think he's just trying to make it so the DNA can't be used in the USA by the California courts.
Oh, so that is why he's appealing. It's to get the DNA destroyed. 2+2=4. Only half a cup of coffee so far.
I guess I'm envisioning the Coast Guard taking him in at the end.
Now THAT would be a happy ending.
It does list "The Horizons" as place of RESIDENCE.
Wonder what changes as far as fatherhood if she was NOT a Resident?? Maybe it's not the Bahamas call because they were merely US citizens on a visa.
Yes he is. I remember when they needed a new anchor for one of the shows and they chose someone else and you could just tell how PO'd he was, still stuck on field duty. Finally got his own gig, eh? Well isn't that spec-ial.
He's been so patient. Never lashing out at Stern as he has every right to. But the loss of weight is a sign that he's worried sick about his little girl.
CourtTV should get someone on the ground in Ohio or Cali whichever and find out if anything has been filed yet. May be that it's already in the works.

Coroners Act Challenged
By Quincy Parker
Howard K. Stern – Anna Nicole Smith’s live-in lawyer and the presumptive father of her daughter Dannielynn – has asked the Supreme Court to declare that the Coroners Act is unconstitutional.
Anna Nicole Smith is the controversial Bahamian permanent resident, and former Playboy playmate, who appeared in photographs with former Immigration, Labour and Training Minister Shane Gibson that caused controversy, and eventually led to Mr. Gibson’s resignation from the Christie Cabinet.
And, Mr. Stern wants the Supreme Court of The Bahamas to order the coroner in the inquest into the death of Anna Nicole’s son Daniel to do things that he cannot do under the current Coroners Act.
The application asks the Supreme Court to order the Coroner to compose a questionnaire to be answered by prospective jurors on oath, that the aforesaid questionnaire be composed after representation from lawyers for interested parties and that those lawyers be allowed to question – and challenge for cause related to bias – prospective jurors on their answers.
The Coroners Act makes no provision for any such questioning or challenging of the jury.
If the higher court makes no order allowing for the questioning and challenging of the jury, Mr. Stern wants the Supreme Court to issue an Order staying the inquest into the young man’s sudden death at Doctors Hospital on September 10, 2006, until the legislature or the Rules Committee take steps, "legislatively or by making regulations, to ensure impartiality of jurors."
Wayne Munroe filed the Supreme Court action on Mr. Stern’s behalf. He is Mr. Stern’s counsel in the inquest into the young man’s death, which began in the Coroner’s Court on Tuesday.
The questionnaire is a remedy offered by Mr. Munroe to the dilemma of ensuring an impartial jury in the inquest without abridging the provisions of the Coroners Act.
At Thursday’s proceedings, Mr. Munroe told Mr. Gomez, "the only question is, as a matter of law, can you provide a remedy? And the only problem is, as a matter of law, you can’t."
The application seeks a declaration that the Coroners Act is expressly inconsistent with Section 20(8) of the Bahamas Constitution in that it fails to provide mechanism to ensure an impartial jury in general, and specifically in the Daniel Smith inquest.
"It is a challenge that is fundamental in its nature," Anthony McKinney told the court. Mr. McKinney is Mr. Munroe’s co-counsel in the inquest.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Bernard Turner, who is marshalling the evidence, pointed out in response that the legal team for Mr. Stern had taken it upon themselves to file an application seeking for the Supreme Court to order the Coroners Court to do what that selfsame legal team has concluded that the Coroners Court cannot do.
"If there is now a Constitutional challenge to the Constitutionality of the Coroners Act, it is not something which came up ex improviso – it was known all along that the date for this matter was set," Mr. Turner said, pointing out that the scope of the Coroners Act was also known all along.
He said the issue could have been raised, and resolved, before the inquest began.
After the question of the Supreme Court application was concluded – the lawyers will return to court to update the coroner on the status of the application on April 4 – talk turned to the determination of "properly interested parties" to the inquest.

Mr. D. Shane Gibson was born in Nassau on September 7, 1961. He is the fifth child of Gerlene Gibson of Crooked Island and Eric "King Eric" Gibson of Acklins. He and his four (4) brothers and five (5) sisters grew up in Mount Pleasant Avenue off Kemp Road, they then moved to Marathon Estates where David Shane was at the age of ten (10).
BUT, since there was a previous order for the DNA and going to the Bahamas can be seen as "flight" and the DNA actually becomes part of a database, I think the Ca courts have first rights to it. I sure hope so.
As far as only blood is valid? We're back to Shakespeare..."A pound of flesh but not one drop of blood".
"CRACKER" "What CRACKER is this same that deafes our ears with this abundance of superluous fluff"....William Shakespeare in King John 1595.
Damn, I think I may even have the video of this.

I think you might attribute that vote to: "Shane got conned by Howard and Anna".
The more drugs Anna did, the less likely she was able to act on her own accord. However, prior to an event, it was detox time, time to switch drugs and get with the uppers/pain killers. Addicts typically know how their drug agenda goes, timing the drugs to correspond to their daily/weekly/monthly activities.
Isn't it "convenient" how all this happened? Just for starters how ANS died just when the required 6 months to cohabitate in the Bahamas to prove he is legal father and also just before Daniel turns 21.
The residency will be contested, complete with continuances and appeals, just like we're seeing now. And I wonder how many more Bahamian laws the Stern posse will try to negotiate.
Yes, and the brothers' and sisters' names and ages are ....? I know all that, but we don't know which of the Gibsons in Nassau are related to them.
