Nancy Grace - Friday 3/16/07 - highlights

REF to Tuesday 3/20/07 in Bahamian Court Date

GRACE: Back to Jean Casarez with Court TV news. She`s there in the Nassau, Bahama area. Jean, I want to clarify something. We`re not expecting the DNA test to be done on Tuesday. It`s my understanding that on Tuesday, they will choose between two experts, two DNA experts.

CASAREZ: What I know about DNA in general is that here in Bahamas, the results take three to four days to come back. Now, I don`t know where the testing`s done, but I know it takes three to four days. So if we use that as a gauge right there, I don`t think you would have results on Tuesday.

GRACE: OK. Our sources have been a little unclear, but what we are hearing is that a judge has ordered DNA, that they`re all going to come back to court on Tuesday to choose between DNA experts. Now, this may be difficult for Birkhead to do. He`s the photographer claiming to be the dad. He no longer has a lawyer. (DUH NANCY... He has a Bahamian Atty)

REF. ON THE OPRI/BIRKHEAD SPILT

GRACE: Doesn`t he still have a Bahamian attorney?

CASAREZ: He does. But you know, Nancy, I spoke directly with Debra Opri today on the telephone, and she told me, first off, there is an attorney/client privilege that I cannot allow to be exposed at this point. So what I will tell you will be brief. But she told me that she was asked to do things that she couldn`t ethically do. And she said that it had to do with Howard K. Stern`s growing influence. And she`s very concerned. And she said that the last words that she told Larry was, If you are asked by Howard K. Stern to not have an attorney anymore -- and I think she`s talking about California, in the United States -- don`t listen to him. Get an attorney.

GRACE: OK.

CASAREZ: Go get an attorney. And I think the relationship had been severed at that point in time, when she said that, so she felt free to tell me. Now, Larry Birkhead got word to me late tonight in regard to his position on all of this. He said that he had made the decision to part the ways, that it was done shortly after the hearing in California early in the week, that there is no deal between him and Howard K. Stern, that they still continue to be adversaries.
