The lawyer for Smith’s mother asked Stern why his lawyer faxed a copy of Anna’s will five days before she died. TMZ obtained a fax cover sheet showing that Ron A. Rale, Stern’s lawyer faxed the will on February 3, 2007. Stern, who acknowledged the story had been reported on TMZ, first said the date on the fax must be a mistake. He added that he didn’t talk to Ron Rale about Anna’s will until after she passed.

The otherwise brilliant attorney did not notice the date error? First thing he should have done was call Rale and tell him to fix his fax machine and send another one. Trouble is - he didn’t - because he couldn’t - there was no fax machine error to fix. That beautiful truth just slipped past his lying eyes.
If the date IS a lie...which Barth attested, too...she set herself up as a witness.
I have to go back and look at my notes (not easy to do, they’re just in numbered files chronologically, like looking for a Swiss bank account, lol) so I can speak about the Rale fax better ... but, until I do ...
I thought the argument in Seidlin’s court was a smokescreen. The cover sheet in question was NOT, as I understood it, when HKS or RAR faxed the will copy to Barth, but that’s what they argued and pretended to “resolve.”
I *thought* the dated fax cover was the one on the copy itself, as to when Rale first faxed it to HKS in Nassau to begin with, not when it was faxed to Barth.
HKS and ANS had no reason to even know Barth on 2-2-07. I always felt like the will request might have had something to do with the alleged Dubai trip plans, or at least HKS could’ve used that as an excuse - he always has one for everything.
Oh, also, it was faxed from Rale’s house, not office.
