I think Anna DID think that they were married on the boat. These are California people and commitment ceremonies are not new there.

I think there might have even been a license signed (just in case). King Gibson was a Captain and if someone on board was a notary, no problem. A simple case of "it has to be filed after the ceremony in a timely fashion" which is what I read while doing some research.

We think of Comittment ceremonies as associated with homosexual marriages but that is not necessarilty the case. I think if we look into the Laws in our states and particularly international law, we will find the clue.

The one thing that didn't make sense is fact that a dress for the top secret wedding was not in the process. The dudes who made her funeral dress said there WAS one in process but only after someone mentioned (moi) that Anna never wore the same dress twice. When the truth comes out, I doubt they are going to perjure themselves.

Uh, and not for nothing but it would be a secret that Anna would have trouble keeping.

He had to get people together for the boat wedding, didn't he?? Well, this one required that, too. So, I'm waiting for Howard to change his story and say that only his sister knew.

Ah, "The Director". He's got his sister deeply involved and I believe she has already told several lies. She's as blind as Scott Peterson's parents.

I thought I saw Mo in the background in one the the wedding boat pictures. We'll see.

The motive in these videos, "I hate Momma" and the boat video gave Howard the benefit of the doubt as to Anna's wishes but in the end, they'll backfire and be viewed as pre-meditation. People aren't that dumb when you start lining each of these things up.

TrimSpa definitely played a role, if for no other reason than for Howard to feed the spokesperson "his lines". Correspondence with them prior to their trip will strengthen the assumption. TrimSpa has backed off in recent days.

"The Director" gave sister a bit part in the play and helped her with her lines. She has no first-hand knowledge of the illness. All hear-say. And the family has been supporting Howard all these years. Possibly, if he was laundering money through them.

Now, Shane Gibson's late night calls to Anna Nicole Smith surface

Posted on Monday, March 12, 2007 (EST)

Former Bahamian Immigration Minister Shane Gibson used to call Anna Nicole Smith late at nights, and cops have discovered voice mail messages that he had left on the departed model’s cell phone last December.

Washington, March 12: Former Bahamian Immigration Minister Shane Gibson used to call Anna Nicole Smith late at nights, and cops have discovered voice mail messages that he had left on the departed model’s cell phone last December.

Gibson had left six messages from December 15 to December 17 and called an additional time, as is shown by the time stamp from Anna Nicole’s cell phone in Los Angeles.

According to reports, Gibson was calling three hours later than the stamp reveals as he was in the Bahamas. The time of calls indicates that they had been made after midnight.

Gibson was instrumental in obtaining legal residency for Anna Nicole in the Bahamas, and he seemed determined to get in touch with the former ‘Playboy’ playmate.

He had to resign as Immigration Minister after photos surfaced showing him embracing Anna Nicole in her bed.

Gibson insists that he and Anna Nicole were good friends, and there was nothing more than that. (ANI)

Anna Nicole Smith: Criminal Activity and Drug Trafficking May Impact on Custody of Dannielynn Smith: A Legal Analysis

Criminal investigations about Anna Nicole Smith and Daniel Smith, and the likely impact on Howard Stern and Larry Birkhead in the March 16, 2007 Bahamas custody case.

(PRWeb) March 11, 2007 -- New York City divorce Lawyer Lisa Beth Older, Esq, and MSNBC and ABC News Now analyst, offers her analysis on the impact of three recent criminal investigations on the probable outcome of the custody case pending in the Bahamas on March 16, 2007 as to Anna Nicole Smith's daughter Dannielynn Hope Smith .

I became aware of additional evidence Criminality plays no small part in a civil proceeding, even if no criminal charges are made. The burden of proof in a civil proceeding is less than that of a criminal proceeding. The custody proceeding in the Bahamas is a civil proceeding and hence does not require proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Remember how OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder in a criminal case but found to be responsible for wrongful death in the civil case? Witnesses have told police that Howard K Stern may or may not have played a contributing role in the death of Anna and her son, and if founded in fact, this will hurt his parentage claim for Dannielynn.

There are three criminal investigations of the Anna Nicole Smith story; the first is conducted by the Seminole Indian police in Florida, the second is in the Bahamas on Daniel Smith and the third is focused on the doctor prescribing the methadone found in the bodies of the deceased Daniel Smith and Anna Nicole Smith. Parties vying for the rights of custody over Dannielynn who may have contributed to the death of Anna Nicole Smith or her son, will not likely be deemed a proper custodial parent in the Bahamas.

Witnesses gave damaging information as to Anna Nicole Smith. Dr. Joshua Perber, the medical examiner, has been a voice of reason. Now he states "I became aware of additional evidence" and this evidence is holding up the case. A relative of G. Ben Thompson, who owns the house where Anna Nicole Smith resided, turned over her computer to the Bahamas police. This may provide evidence as to whether the deaths will be classified suicide, homicide or accident. In an article written in the National Ledger on March 11, 2007 the body guard allegedly told police that "Howard K Stern acted strangely" and gave her medicines. There is no concrete evidence pointing to wrongdoing, but whether the person administering them knew they were participating in a negligent or illegal act is relevant in a custody proceeding and will likely be raised in the Bahamas.

In applying the civil law to potentially criminal acts, the fact that Howard Stern was present when Anna's other son Daniel died of an illegal mixture of drugs and was present around the death of Ms. Smith facts are relevant in the custody case in the Bahamas. The Court will have to hear the testimony and decide custody based upon credibility of witnesses. The video of Howard Stern allegedly taping Anna Smith in a drug induced state and saying it was "worth money" further shows little regard for her well being, and is probative as to whether Howard Stern lacks requisite judgment to parent Dannielynn. Add the insidious allegations of Larry Birkhead that Howard Stern brought drugs to Anna Nicole Smith in a duffle bag in the hospital while she was pregnant and new custody questions are raised. Forget about the criminal ramifications for a moment. In a civil matter it all comes down to the credibility of witnesses. If the Bahamas court believes Birkhead it can draw an inference that he may not be fit to parent, having possibly endangered the welfare of mother and baby Dannilynn.

Given ongoing criminal investigation into the death of Anna Nicole Smith and her son, Daniel Smith, the disposition of the criminal investigations will likely be conclusive on the custody issues before the Bahamas court on March 16, 2007.

As to further possible criminal investigations, methadone is an illegal drug in the Bahamas for treatment of pain, which begs the larger question of possible illegal drug trafficking. Any person who participated in providing methadone to Anna Nicole Smith or her child Daniel Smith lacks requisite judgment to raise a child. If the Bahamas Court believes Larry Birkhead's allegation that Howard Stern brought methadone into Anna Nicole Smith's hospital room, this raises an inference that he knew Anna was on methadone while pregnant, and shows poor judgment. Persons vying for custody over Dannielynn need to show judgment superior to that, and the stakes are high. The fate of Dannilynn, brought to the Bahamas under suspicious circumstances, is left in the hands of the Bahamian court.

Yes, of course. Since there were 2 people there, one of them definitely COULD have called 911. Totally true.

Anna Nicole Smith Murder Conspiracy: What's On Anna's Hard Drive?

By Gene Byrd
Mar 10, 2007

If one takes in the nighttime cable TV show that cover pop culture or law, it is impossible to avoid the case of the untimely death of Anna Nicole Smith. The buxom blonde was but 39 years old when she passed away in Florida on what can only be called a 'mysterious death.' Everyone has an opinion, and many believe she was murdered, though a slow, and I mean slow, investigation has produced no such proof.


Anna Nicole Smith Murder Conspiracy: What's On Anna's Hard Drive?

In a new report out from the UK titled 'Was Anna Nicole Smith Murdered?' The UK Daily Mirror reports that dramatic new evidence has sparked fears 39-year-old former Playboy model Anna Nicole was murdered.

***

Here's how CNN's Nancy Grace's show began on Friday night. Good evening, everybody...First, new evidence in the death of cover girl Anna Nicole Smith.

Voiceover: Howard K. Stern's whereabouts are a little not quite clear right before her death. Everyone right now is thinking foul play. And you know, the results of the autopsy keep getting pushed back. We were expecting them this week, and now it's another couple of weeks.

Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County Medical Examiner, "I became aware of this additional evidence which I didn't review, and I'm going to review it."

Voiceover: This report really threw a wrench into the whole timeline because with the nurse saying this, its possible maybe Anna Nicole Smith had been dead for hours, definitely before 1:30 PM. Perper, "There is evidence that the body was not only warm but that the people who gave resuscitation believed there was a chance to resuscitate her. Most likely, she died a short time before she was found dead."

***

Jason Kennedy from E! added: "Dr. Perper -- he was on your show yesterday -- he's made it clear that this new piece of evidence is going to possibly change his findings into what caused the death of Anna Nicole. We do know, on a related story, that he wants to get a hold of Anna Nicole Smith's computer. Ford Shelly -- he is the son-in- law of G. Ben Thompson, the man who owns that Bahamian home where Anna was staying with Howard K. Stern -- he submitted Anna's computer to the police department. So Dr. Perper is waiting for that computer. Who knows what's on it? And they are waiting."

And so we wait - and speculate. Her bodyguard Maurice Brighthaupt, who was with her the day she died, claimed her boyfriend Howard K Stern had been acting "highly strange" hours before she collapsed in a Florida hotel room last month, reports the Mirror.

'Big Mo' told police she was "in a cloud", and was on "heavy doses" of prescription drugs when she died, including antibiotics. He is also believed to have said her lover Stern gave her "some types of drugs" in the months leading to her collapse.

***

The mystery continues, but since she died in the US, authorities have a much better chance of getting the information needed to determine if foul play was indeed involved.

Yes - rhink we've all agreed the 105 temperature should have had Anna's "caretakers" getting her to the hospital - though they claimed she wouldn't agree to go. (I have never had a fever that high - but have had one to 103. I was so out of it I didn't want to argue with anybody about anything.....can only imagine how 105 would feel.....I would think not capable of arguing with caretakers.)

I believe they got the hotel doctor to prescribe some antibiotics which supposedly she was taking.

I think team Stern originally pushed the Wed time for the fever in order to create the idea that she died of infection related issues.....since fever that close to time of death must be related to cause of death.

Ron Rales from the first day talked about her being sick that week.....as if the sickness was the cause of her death. He also immediately said the idea that drugs killed Anna was nonsense.

However, Perper told news media that if the cause of death was natural causes - that the autopsy results could be reported quickly.

Obviously THAT has not happened. So we should know Anna did not die from natural causes.....sickness.

I think the idea that she died from pneumonia was put out there again by team Stern.....anything to divert eyes to Stern's culpability - and, as we have learned - to divert eyes from the fact we now know which is he was alone with Anna for a period before she died....

Yes. Anything is possible wrt to the omelet. But if she didn't eat it, somebody is lying about it. I wanted to trace it back to the source. I find it interesting that though it must have been "given" to ET by KE, they didn't show her on camera stating those words.

But now the harder question, why? Surely they knew that an autospy would be done. Did they already think they had Perper buttoned up at that time?

We need Howard's cell phone. Hopefully, it had GPS attached because I want to know what he did in the days before she died. Howard has said NOTHING about those days. Since he was likely using a rented vehicle OR one provided by Trim-spa, the vehicle might have an active GPS chip on it. Not for nothing, but if I'm using someone else's car, I don't know what's on or off or what's where without a little input (instructions).

Howard's an attorney. Attorney's are itemizers. They pull out their pad and take notes from a client. Then they put them in order.

We've become the note takers and putting them in order is tough because Howard has "influenced" (Directed) all the witnesses.

What we do know is that we have no information from certain people that Howard COULD NOT "Direct"...

I think when we review testimony in Seidlein's court, we will find that he was the first to start to unravel the truth about Howard and was instrumental in setting Howard up for perjury and "pre-meditation" in a "Double Murder".

Good info. Would a custody hearing be televised? Would love to hear/see Stern squirm at that hearing as some very unhappy truths about him come forward.

All the people who have "fed" the press; Trimspa, Taz, Mo or are the press like ET are not independent witnesses. They ALL had maximum access to Howard. Every one of them!!

Does Howard really think they will lie for him in a court of law? I think that's why Mo came out and said the press is putting out a lot of cr**. But none of them were under oath and they were ALL under the influence of Howard. The only person who will be discredited by a change in their story is Howard.

I just loved Howard's testimony about the drugs in Seidlein's court. "I'm not a doctor". Well, Howard's not a kid either and the fact that he also said: "I've seen her worse than that" (Clown video) says Howard KNEW exactly what the drugs did but wasn't concerned. Seidlein called it: "An Enabler"
