Anna Nicole Smith, Seeking Justice #4
22Digital has been working with Anna since her pregnancy and who knows how long with Trimspa!
What reputable company comes onboard WITHOUT PAY?!
Practically the only promo brag on their site is all ANS and Trimspa. This is more of Goen Stern low life friends imo.
Howard knew EXACTLY who he meant....
Go back into some famous trials and you'll see some of the attorney tricks!!
That’s a very reasoned thought...SHelly...go away.
He has a certain gesture...almost like holding a book open...which is when he wants to make a "rehearsed" statement.
I didn't see Larry King...but I'm betting the "open book" gesture is there.
What the hail is going on?? Taped interviews being pulled - by whom? There is no way an attorney (Lin Wood) can enforce a law unto himself!!!
Do you suppose the CA DOJ/Feds are asking for these incriminating tapes to be removed from a potential jury pool???
I wish;)
Bald Truth Exclusive: Debra Opri Back In Court Today
By Art Harris, (c) www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
We’ve obtained, in another Bald Truth Exclusive, motions filed by Debra Opri against Larry Birkhead that lay out her strategy in court today, when she’s expected to ask the judge to take back what he already granted her–a speedy court date–and to reconsider her plea for arbitration, not hammering out her fee deal at some nasty trial.
Also, the second motion has Birkhead’s interrogatories attached, along with admissions, production of documents and deposition. We’re betting Birkhead attorney Michael Trope has a few tricks up his sleeve, and will keep you posted how he responds.
Opri’s moves are, as usual, as fascinating as a filibuster, and sketched out in our court docs below. Read on and let us know what you think.
More to come.

The clown video certainly becomes an exhibit...it's called child endangerment. (Talking about a Mushroom trip, he boob popped out)
Would you want Dannielynn near Howard?
I tell you...there's a unnatural meanness in Howard..IMHO...There's something in his past...If it gets found out....The whole world will turn on Howard.
At this point, I'm pretty well convinced that Larry was indeed a "sperm donor" and there were NEVER any intentions to marry Larry. Someplace...there's a contract.
Virgie....We're all thinking of you!!
I hope the Florida investigation hangs that fool!
The “Mark” Howard Stern repeatedly referred to throughout the infamous “clown” video featuring Anna Nicole Smith obviously under the influence of something, most likely is Mark Schey, President and CEO of the creative agency 22Digital. Schey would take the footage shot by Stern and upload it to Anna’s site. He said it wasn’t uncommon for Howard to issue directions while filming.
“It could have been something [Stern] intended to put on [her website]. He would give me instructions, ‘edit this, don’t do this,’” Schey tells Us, adding, “I’ve never seen that video, and had nothing to do with the filming of it. I never even got this tape.”
Schey is “not sure” who was the man behind the camera, but says it “could” have been Stern.
“I help put videos online – I had nothing to do with the production of them, and was not there when she filmed any of them,” Schey explains.
When a snippet of the tape first emerged, Stern claimed it was stolen and the snippet was taken out of context. It’s apparant to most who viewed the tape that Howard knew Anna was on drugs and also planned on selling the video because he asks her if she’s on a “mushroom trip”: and tells her how the tape is worth money - while she asked why.
Her partner Howard K. Stern can be overheard asking Smith if she is on a “mushroom trip” and giving direction to a colleague he calls “Mark.”
At one point, Stern says, “This footage is worth money,” and instructs Smith to cover her right breast, which had popped out of her caftan. He then says, “You can’t show that, Mark.”
On the tape, Stern and Smith are joined by the nine-year-old daughter of Smith’s former friend, Ford Shelley — whose father-in-law, G. Ben Thompson, owns the home where Smith was staying at the time — who was at the house for a playdate when the tape was shot. The child is overheard urging Stern to “Cut the tape off and help…” Later she pleads, “I think we need the hospital… Howard, seriously, please help!”
Stern has claimed the tape, a small portion of which was broadcast earlier this year on Fox News Channel, was stolen.
But last night on Geraldo, Shelley — who admitted he took the tape — shot back: “It’s funny to me that he said I stole something … I had a key to the house.”
Shelley added that his daughter was “emotionally not good” after the incident.
So why release it? “I want the truth to come out,” he told Rivera.

Home About Lawyer for Smith’s Baby Wants Payment
October 24th, 2007
MIAMI (AP) — The attorney who represented Anna Nicole Smith’s infant daughter in the rancorous dispute over the starlet’s body is seeking nearly $200,000 for his work.
Richard Milstein served as the court-appointed guardian ad litem for Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead. He has filed paperwork in state court in Broward County seeking $198,493.98 from a trust set up in Dannielynn’s name.
Attorneys for the girl’s father, Larry Birkhead, and Smith’s longtime companion, Howard K. Stern, say Milstein’s bill would exhaust nearly the entirety of an estimated $200,000 remaining in the trust, though the girl could eventually inherit millions more.
Besides acting as Dannielynn’s representative in a Fort Lauderdale court, Milstein also helped coordinate funeral arrangements for Smith.
“This representation required the guardian ad litem to devote significantly all of his professional and personal time and attention to the interests of Dannielynn for a period in excess of two weeks,” Milstein argued in his petition.
He did not return a phone call Monday seeking additional comment.
The matter is scheduled for a hearing Nov. 8, but attorneys for Birkhead, Stern and Smith’s mother have already opposed.
“It is unconscionable for a trust established for a baby to be billed at a large firm hourly rate,” wrote attorneys for Birkhead and Stern. They also said the Playboy model’s mother, Virgie Arthur, should pay at least part of the bill, which the mother’s attorney called ridiculous.
Lawyer Stephen Tunstall did find common ground with Birkhead and Stern in his objection to Milstein’s accounting. He said the guardian ad litem “went wild” in generating a bill.
Smith, who died Feb. 8 in a Hollywood hotel, was the widow of Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. She had been fighting Marshall’s family for years over his estimated $500 million fortune, which could eventually go to Dannielynn.

I remember something said in that bungled court about him not having anything to eat and Judge numbnuts telling him to eat. He ate something and came back. I agree with you, though, that he does act dumb sometimes, but look at Columbo. LOLL He does too and gets them in the end. O’Q hasn’t gotten as big and rich as he is by being stupid.
The AMA published an instructional book (years ago)for determining when medical signs & symptoms should be considered as mild, serious or life threatening.
As you moved through a schematic of body systems, symptoms, timing, intensity and duration; charting led ultimately to diagnoses and threat level.
If we had similarly charted the characters, actions, motives, behavior, statements, timing and results in this chaos - we would conclude TWO PEOPLE WERE MURDERED!!!!
EmailPrintPreview: No two ‘dead’ shows are alike
Thursday, October 25, 2007
By Rosa Colucci, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Q: What do Yvonne De Carlo, Anna Nicole Smith, Don Ho, Beverly Sills, Luciano Pavarotti, Ingmar Bergman, Merv Griffin, Leona Helmsley, Jane Wyman, Marcel Marceau, Teresa Brewer and Joey Bishop have in common?
A: They’re all celebrities who died this year and may be coming back to life on Saturday night at the Rex Theatre.
For 15 years, local performers have been staging a one-night-only tongue-in-cheek musical extravaganza called “Night of the Singing Dead.”
The show is the accidental brainchild of Carl Grefenstette, owner of Pittsburgh Guitars. “Our band, The Flashcats, played constantly, and one year we decided to do a Halloween-themed show with dead musicians making an appearance. It was a big hit and just grew from there.”
Night of the Singing Dead #15 and ‘A-Scary-can Idol’
Where: Rex Theatre, South Side.
When: 8 p.m. (7 p.m. doors open) Saturday.
Tickets: $13 at door, 412-381-9200 or check the Web site.
Local celebs trying to win the “judges approval” this year include Steve Hansen and Larry Richert from KDKA, Monte and Zeke, Carol Lee Espy, Rob Rogers, Maggie Stewart, Ron “Moondog” Esser, Susie Barber and Rick Applegate.
Grefenstette has the enviable job of producing the show and deciding in what order the acts will perform. “I love that we have the ability to use really cheesy props. Last year, Shelly Winters died. We had her character singing ‘The Morning After’ hanging upside-down from a sinking ship.”
Other memorable performances from last year included a “Hee-Haw” segment that closed the show and featured three country greats that passed to the other side last year — Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash and Tammy Wynette.
Besides the props, the band is also stellar. Joining Grefenstette on drums are Scott Johnson on bass; Al Stidle and Rich Dugan on guitars, and Bill Ferchak on keyboard. Betsy Gerson and Amy Ferchak round out the band with their background vocals.
Grefenstette said that years of doing the show has had an effect on his voice-mail. “As soon as a colorful celebrity dies, everyone calls to tell me.”
One of the things that has changed over the years is that in the beginning they impersonated only dead rock stars. Now, colorful well-known celebrities (Anna Nicole Smith, Tammy Faye Messner) who have passed are also included in the lineup.
Something does always stay the same, though. “It’s always a blast, people are dying to get in the show ... you can quote me on that.”

The End to the Laci Peterson Mystery - Scott Peterson Finally Confesses
PLANO, TX(RUSHPRNEWS) October 16, 2007- Unique, inspiring, and dramatic, “I’m Sorry I Lied to You,” the Confession of Scott Peterson, by Donna Thomas, is a literary sojourn into the dark and disturbing world of Scott Peterson’s life on California’s Death Row.
Based on the infamous brutal murder of Laci Peterson and her unborn son, Conner, “I’m Sorry I Lied to You,” the Confession of Scott Peterson, reexamines the evidence, the speculation, and the major players of one of America’s most heinous murders. Publication date is set for December 15, 2007; wherein, Thomas, a well-known anti-death penalty advocate, details her personal visits to Scott Peterson on San Quentin’s death row and describes that fateful day when Scott confessed to her. Although many books have been written about the Peterson case, this author’s work is unique in that it examines the detailed workings of the mind of Scott Peterson firsthand. Vilified by the press, the family of the victim, and various other literary entrepreneurs, Scott Peterson is seen by Thomas as an individual who although convicted of the capital offense of murder is still a human being.
Donna Thomas exposes certain aspects of the events, characters, and circumstances that were not highly published during the investigation, arrest, and trial. She also questions the motivation and competence of some of the participants. These ideas alone are a source of necessary checks and balances in an already overtaxed criminal justice system. Also, questions are raised in this true crime literary piece as to whether Scott Peterson did or did not receive a fair trial.
One question that Donna Thomas does not raise is the matter of Scott Peterson’s innocence. Although in the beginning she believed Peterson was innocent, it is the brutal and graphic confession while visiting Scott in San Quentin that changed the course of her investigation, Donna’s relationship with Peterson, and altered her emotional and spiritual essence forever. The passages detailing this aspect are brutally shocking and without remorse. “I’m Sorry I Lied to You,” the Confession of Scott Peterson will take you to a literary dimension seldom experienced within the realm of modern reading. Donna Thomas’ legal expertise and humanistic endeavors create an atmosphere of suspense unequaled in any previous writing on the subject. Her visits to San Quentin are accentuated with sights and sounds of a world seldom seen and contain some well-known death row inmates of equal or greater infamy. Inside this secret insight into the mind of a man still being talked about today, you will also find photographs never before published.Ms. Thomas continues to work on cases of people wrongly accused all over the country, she maintains residences in several cities. “I’m Sorry I Lied to You,” the Confession of Scott Peterson

Actually he didn’t say loose ends. I found it interesting he said “a lot of matters left unattended” ... And he is there a week before the inquest. Intriguing!
Cannot understand - is this published by Doubleday or DoubleSpeak?
*although he doesn’t confess he confesses*????
LOL
I noticed Dana, LE of 25 yrs himself called Bains “a low class individual” “meida whore” .. “can we say media on the radio” LMAO!
Dana watched Bains mannerisms, eye contact, prepared statements etc and said he found him “”phony as a 3 dollar bill”. He couldn’t believe cable news gave Bains any credibility or the time they did.
Bad fish odor coming off HKS and Bains is being experienced by many now. Just a matter of time ...
Clark stressed a couple times he is not building a case for media, he job / interest the same as when with the FBI, build a case for the courts!
