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.
well, you’re right of course - Virgie was set to be the bad guy - why did Virgie let it blindside her? well, I can offer tht it was not long ago that Virgie suffered from a pretty bad stroke - iirc, had to learn to walk/talk again and has short-term mem problems also..so she’s not in her prime ‘top cop’ form any longer. I feel for her.
found this link sniffing around today - remember we discussed whether there were one or three confid. agmts?
here’s Anna’s own words - unfortunately the link for the agmt is dead at the site
Feb 6th, ‘07 - Last night, we brought you the first part of PAT O’BRIEN’s interview with Anna and Howard straight from the Bahamas, in which Anna says the whole debate with Birkhead should not have gone public, as he allegedly signed a confidentiality agreement with her.
“Everyone in my life signs one,” says Anna. “And yet he claims he doesn’t remember signing anything like it. Actually, he signed three of them.”
Birkhead, however, disputes it in our latest one-on-one interview with the photographer.
“This is my child. It doesn’t matter what the penalty is,” says Birkhead about speaking out, despite the alleged agreement. “They started this. They started bashing me. I’m just defending myself.”
