Who could we contact in regard to getting the Seidlin Court transcript put on the web?

I don't know if this will help you but here you go:

The battle for her body

Stern and his lawyer argued that Anna should be buried in the Bahamas next to her son Daniel.

Howard K. Stern (in court): Daniel was without question the most important person in Anna’s life. From the time I met her, everything that she was doing was for Daniel. From the day Daniel died, Anna honestly was never the same. I would say that physically she died last week but in a lot of ways emotionally she died when Daniel died.

Stern testified that for years, Anna had worried about where she would be buried and conceded the Bahamas was not always her first choice.

Stern: Anna in a lot of ways always thought she was going to die young and she said that she thought she was going to be like Marilyn Monroe. Initially, Anna had always wanted to be buried near Marilyn Monroe.

Stern said after much struggling, Anna decided to bury Daniel in the Bahamas, and bought a plot there for two.

Stern: Anna was very firm that the Bahamas was her home, it’s where she wanted to raise Dannielynn and she wanted Daniel to be near her.

One of the oddest moments of the day came when the court received a call from the medical examiner, put on speaker phone by the judge and he had some jarring news.

Medical Examiner: [I] checked the condition of the body and they observed unfortunate deterioration much faster than they expected.

As the day progressed, tempers flared over a videotape Howard K. Stern and his attorneys wanted to show in court—an interview Anna gave to Entertainment Tonight, which Stern said proved how much Anna hated her mother.

Anna’s mother’s attorney, nicknamed "Texas" by the judge, fought to keep it out.

Virgie Arthur, mother of Anna Nicole Smith's attorney: Even if it’s authentic, if it’s been spliced, diced, you know the news media does not run everything they take a tape of. They edited like a movie in Hollywood.

Birkhead attorney: Also, if there tapes come in, we have tapes. Does that mean our tapes come in?

Debra Opri, another Birkhead attorney: It’s gotta be all or nothing your honor.

Judge Seidlin: There’s nothing hidden here. You see what I see. I’m going to decide how much of the tape I’m going to watch. But whatever I watch you’ll watch. I appreciate your thoughts though.

In the end, the judge allowed it, and the result was unnerving.

Anna Nicole Smith (Entertainment Tonight footage): What has she done to me? You wanna hear my child life? You wanna hear all the things she did to me? That’s my mother. That’s my mom. What do you want to say to her? I want to say to her, how dare you .... b**tch. How dare you.

Didn't her mother say in an interview that she thought Daniel's death was deliberate by someone arouns ANS? Wonder if the "I hate my mom" interview was to deflect some of those accusations.

Thanks! Very helpful and a little funny.

"Dan Abrams, NBC Chief Legal Correspondent: At first, you wondered, is this just a judge sitting with lawyers, just being a little bit casual, a little bit folksy? But once the witnesses come in he’ll make sure that the decorum of the courtroom is reestablished? No, didn’t happen."
