Also, I read this yesterday.....
Corruption Continues in Anna Nicole Circus
http://www.etonline.com
In a world wide web exclusive, ET Special Correspondent Art Harris has uncovered a Bahamas court order that allows Howard K Stern to ask that the developer who has been trying to evict him from the home he shared with Anna Nicole Smith, Horizons, be jailed for trespassing and contempt.
Harris fails to mention that the court order is a highly questionable “ex-parte” injunction obtained from an allegedly crooked judge by one of the most corruption-accused attorneys in the Bahamas.
Ex-parte orders are judgements that an attorney obtains while in the private chambers of a judge. The opposing party is neither present, nor even made aware of, the legal actions going on behind their back. Because of the potential for abuse, ex-parte orders are to be used sparingly and a very good explanation must be given as to why the session should be ex-parte, rather than having the opposing attorney present.
In the Bahamas, that procedure is highly abused.
Most of the rampant legal corruption that occurs in The Bahamas is the result of ex-parte orders from corrupt judges, obtained by corrupt attorneys in sneaky midnight ex-parte sessions.
It appears that the latest action related to Anna Nicole Smith is no different.
The lawyer who obtained the ex-parte order, Wayne Munroe, has been accused of “fixing” cases by making arrangements with key players before a case comes to court.
Outrageous, but equally unsurprising, Munroe is the President of the Bahamas Bar Association, a loosely-knit group, that some say, are nothing but organized criminals posing as attorneys.
This particular case involves a cast of characters right out of a seedy crime novel, including; allegedly corrupt lawyers on all sides; malleable judges; corrupt government officials; a developer with a questionable background; a confused, drug addicted celebrity bimbo and her beady-eyed lawyer/lover/stalker.
I especially like this....
“Outrageous, but equally unsurprising, Munroe is the President of the Bahamas Bar Association, a loosely-knit group, that some say, are nothing but organized criminals posing as attorneys.”
Just like Seidlin..."You knocked on my door in the middle of the night"......and the agreement was made that "biological" or the DNA matter would not be discussed in court.
Can we name Howard: "Director in the Chamber"? I'm trying to figure out why Seidlin even agreed to that term.
