now that we, the public, know, that LB was with Splash news in Jan ‘07, posing at Daniel’s grave, I have to wonder why he never owned up to it in court. after witnessing Seidlin grilling Virgie about the splash helicopter at the morgue, why didn’t LB tell the judge when he had the opportunity on the stand, and was questioned about being paid by anyone, that he also had an agreement Splash News, not just Virgie. Why did he hide it? Was it that DO didn’t know about this trip? I’d bet a nickel that it wasn’t Virgie that dropped a dime to them about the morgue run ;)
In the defense of all three (even Howard) I think they had a helicopter and there was talk about having to do the viewing soon. They could have just followed them. Milstein said that he rode with Larry so he didn’t believe that it was Larry that called them.
He did plum! He said they were his broker.
That is why I was so shocked that day. Not only put a mom through that immediately after viewing her daughters dead body.. let her get ganged up on and tagged teamed .. Milstein then Barth .. but that that whole Splash fiasco was only focused on VA!
Why didn’t JQ or ST jump up and say hey hey.. what difference does it make, LB has Splash connections too. Or what does this have to do with who gets custody of the body this poor woman just had to view?
Seidlin set her up right after viewing the body and had Milstein drill her and her only! And her own legal team sat there and let it go and Seidlin let it go on and on. God, I couldn’t believe it. LB couldn’t even tell the truth about ugly killer hks and Seidlin would stop the show.. but he sets up this mom like that!
But, why why why .. (( I was screaming at the screen that day can you tell ))) didn’t VA’s legal team or VA remind the court Splash was LB’s connection $$$
I think VA’s side was 150% naive! They really bought LB’s act of ‘I am on your side’ and in that .. missed things they normally might have caught.
I also believe JQ and ST left a lot to be desired and did little for VA in FL. If anything they hurt her more than helped her imo.
VA and her team though all went for LB’s con hook line and sinker without question. Never even hesitated to let intuition observe and feel this creep out. That I never expected from Virgie. She was a cop..very intuitive .. why she dropped all that experience and innate skill I don’t know.
I don’t believe LB is that good of an actor. I think they believed blindly, big mistake on their part. But, as I have confessed in the past, I am a cynic.. I trust no one so I probably expect too much from others.
Remember there was some thoughts, some odd reactions and hesitations in court on when LB and VA met? I remember reports of glances from LB’s table even like something had them holding their breath. Perhaps VA’s side was thought they were protecting LB because they thought he was on their side?
WHY didn’t anyone catch LB saying when he went to their house in the Bahamas and Anna was doing drugs, contrary to him saying he didn’t see her again after she left him for the Bahamas is another shocker.
