EXCLUSIVE: Lawyer Lin Wood Signs On; New Attack Dog for Howard K. Stern….. May Sue for Libel, Slander, Defamation; Fur to Fly…Poor Sugar Pie!
It’s now official: The Bald Truth has learned exclusively that high-octane defamation lawyer Lin Wood has signed a formal agreement to represent Howard K. Stern personally and as executor of Anna Nicole Smith’s estate.
After “lengthy” meetings in the Bahamas Friday, sources who were in the room tell me Stern signed what is called a formal “engagement letter” deputizing the lightning litigator to strike back with possible lawsuits against a host of television talk show attackers still screaming Stern’s a “murderer,” responsible for the death of Anna Nicole.
Mmm. We’re guessing Ford Shelley, who made off with her computers, videotapes and paintings she did for baby Dannielynn’s nursery, is on the short list, along with Virgie Arthur’s tough-talking lawyer, John O’Quinn, who’s been disciplined for ambulance chasing before.
Wood, partner in the respected Atlanta lawfirm Powell-Goldstein, went to bat for the embattled parents of Jon Benet Ramsay and won settlements for former Olympic security guard Richard Jewel, called a suspect in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Park bombing, oops, before the real bomber, Eric Rudolph, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison years later.
Stern was cleared of any criminal wrong-doing after a lengthy Florida police investigation and autopsy by Broward Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper, who also told me he doesn’t believe –and has seen no evidence so far—that the deaths of Anna Nicole and her son, Daniel, are linked. Of course, Bahamas top cops get to weigh in soon, in the upcoming coronor’s inquest, and no shortage of critics suggest otherwise. Let’s see the so called evidence; we’re also wondering whether the court will allow witness credibility to be tested.
It’s gonna be as tough as weighing the veracity of Hollywood, and reminds me of a recent book about the biz, called, “‘Hello,’” Lied The Agent.”
On the bright side for the beaten-down Stern, he’s more confident after beefing up his team with Wood. “Howard is relieved and getting ready to fight back,” a source close to him tells me. “and he knows Lin Wood is a fighter.”
We were the first to report Stern was talking to Wood; now we’re the first to tell you, it’s a done deal. Wood flew back to Atlanta late Saturday afternoon after signing what may turn out to be his most controversial client in at least a decade.
executor of her estate????
Wow, interesting thought!
And he’s bad, bad Leroy Wood ... baddest azz in the neighborhood ... badder than old King King ... meaner than Jaynie Weintraub ... *woooooooooooooooooo*
I understand what you’re saying about ANS having a right to fight for the money. However, my main point was that I wished she had never got hooked up with HKS. But instead would have gotten a somewhat ‘normal’ attorney. Not one that ended up controlling her life, isolating her from her son, her mom and now trying to keep her baby from his real father. Perhaps my point was poorly made.
I’m not sure what abortion had to do with anything?? I never implied Anna should have had an abortion. Never.
Ok, Rte66, who is “King King”? Maybe “King Kong”?
Could that be his compensation for taking HKS as a client?
Thanks for the info!
This just gets me again...not linked...

Wow, I just read this. If Anna died face down an hour or two earlier, that would certainly explain the incipient lividity, the purple blotches on her face and chest, they were in the dependent position and so the blood had a chance to begin pooling there. The longer they worked on her the more they would have disturbed the beginning rigidity. Very confusing for anyone arriving on the scene even 30 min later.
“Voiceover: And you’ll hear why in a minute, from Tas, the nurse, who’s re-enacting how she found a lifeless Anna Nicole, who she thought was just asleep.
Tas: And I went over, and I looked at her, and I was like “Oh my God.”
VO: Tas knew something was terribly wrong.
Tas: No breathing, no anything. SO WHAT I DID WAS I TURNED HER OVER and I shook her, and I said, “Anna, Anna are you awake? Anna, Anna wake up.” (CAPS added by me)
VO: And when Anna didn’t wake up, the registered nurse started CPR, but instead of calling 911, she called her husband, Moe, the bodyguard. “
He’s representing Howard *personally* - he’s HKS’s personal lawyer - Leroy will be to Howie what Howie was to Anna, get it?
... and he’s representing Howie as Howie is the alleged executor, you know, the one who *executes,* of ANS’s estate, such that it is.
Howie will need an atty in probate court when he tries to get his ornery self approved for executorship. “But Your Honor, I have executed several ... people who have wills ... and some who don’t.”
That’s what I *think.*
Ping to this post and #261. More needle puncture marks discussion with IV/port potential.
I wish I had been a fly on the wall for the negotiations on this deal! LOL
Howie: Please I need your help!! People are saying mean things about me! I’ll do anything!
Wood: Ok, You let me be executor of her estate. It will make you LOOK like you don’t care about the money!
Howie: WOW, good idea...you can get your lawyer fees from the executor fees for the estate and I won’t have to pay out of my pocket! Can we add that PI as executor too?
Gawd lololol
That’s a lot of needle marks - do you think Perper made the emt’s and hospital account for all of these - I don’t.
” so this PI of HKS is following the ex FBI guy hired by OQuinn?”
Or could he also be following the PI that Daniel talked to?? I’m so disgusted with HKS and all his hired thugs!! He couldn’t possibly have the money to hire all these people with his parents money. There’s something so wrong with this picture. That PI guy LOOKS really mean.
I wish someone like Trump would hire a PI to get the goods on HKS. How can that pos have so much power? Its almost sureal.
“You mean like maybe she was the child shrink of one of their psycho kids?”
Weren’t both Bonnie an MFCC or some kind of low level therapist and wasn’t Gary Stern involved in the Lawrence School? There could have been lots of adolescent patients coming from those connections.
Bwahahahahaha! Good one, Our Lady! The Ramseys ran out on Leroy and left him holding for hmmm, I’ll have to look it up. In the 40s, I think, but don’t hold me to it.
Well, I guess it will all come out soon! I can’t wait...the saga continues! lol
“KE said in a later interview (not the first day) that she feared Anna had aspirated, when HKS called her and said ANS had died. “Is she dead, Howie?” So, vomitus was on KE’s mind, like it is so many others when thinking upon KE and HKS.”
Well KE obviously hadn’t forgotten ALL of her medical pharmacology. She was with it enough to be immediately cognizant of the most probably cause of death for someone on all the things she had ANS on.
Maybe BS was, I didn’t run across that. CPA is all I know for sure. Yeah, Gary is principal (can you believe that?) at Laurence School.
I just don’t know when KE actually practiced child psychiatry. She hadn’t been listing that specialty in a while. I’ll look again.
