Bald Truth Exclusive: Cosby Publisher Wins Delay! Read The Letter Here!
By Bald Truth Staff (c)www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
In a Bald Truth exclusive, we’ve learned the powerhouse New York law firm defending Rita Cosby’s publisher in a $60 million libel suit today won a brief extension to respond to Howard K. Stern’s request for an order banning Cosby, or anyone else, from trying to influence any witness or tamper with any evidence.
It must have been the eloquent, Oct. 22nd letter from attorney Doug Maynard, a former federal prosecutor now with Akin Gump– and obtained by The Bald Truth cosby-publisher-10-23-ltr-to-judge.pdf — that persuaded U.S. District Judge Denny Chin to grant the defendants’ lawyers until November 13 to respond to Stern’s complaint. In it, Maynard complains Stern lawyer Lin Wood has been kind of like Waldo, MIA and impossible to reach.
Hey, we totally understand, since Wood hasn’t had time to call us back either. We hope it’s nothing personal.
But we DO know he was in court last Thursday when the judge indicated he was troubled by transcripts of Cosby allegedly trying to pay two Haitian nannies for an affidavit.
In fact, Wood was so disturbed by the audiotapes of Cosby, secretly recorded by a lawyer for the women, he attached the transcripts as an exhibit to back up Stern’s request that the former FOX host and MSNBCer be ordered to stop trying to talk to witnesses like the nannies she concedes she never interviewed in the first place– to back up her reporting about an alleged gay sex tryst between Stern and Larry Birkhead.
That’s perhaps the most salacious anecdote she lays out in her book, “Blonde Ambition,” the target of the libel suit filed by Stern against Cosby and her French publisher, Hachette.
So far, the publisher says it will vigorously defend the suit and stands by her reporting on the gay sex charges (and everything else) — vigorously denied by Stern and Birkhead.
Last week, both defendants agreed to an order prohibiting any party from attempting to influence any witness and requiring everyone involved to preserve all evidence. But lawyers for Cosby and the publisher also argued that there was no need for expedited discovery because they had agreed to the order.
Judge Chin gave them until Wednesday, Oct. 17, to submit briefs on the issue. But the night before, Maynard writes Wood agreed to give him more time to respond, especially since Wood planned to file an amended complaint, then changed his mind.
Still, delay or not, the judge did agree to fast-track discovery, and gave both sides April 18 as a deadine–and the date for a pre-trial hearing.
According to those in court, the judge said he found the Cosby transcripts very “disturbing,” and that, if accurate, they suggest the newswoman tried to interfere with witnesses.
Cosby’s attorney, Elizabeth McNamara, responded that she had no reason to believe the tape was manufactured, but said when all the tapes were reviewed, it would be clear that Cosby would be cleared of any appearance of wrongdoing.
Cosby claims her Nannygaysex source is an investigator who heard Anna’s employees relate the tawdry tale of the former Playboy centerfold laying in bed watchiing her favorite all-boy tape. On a recent talk show, Don Clark, former FBI agent turned private eye for Virgie Arthur lawyer John O’Quinn, denied he was the source. He did tell Geraldo that he heard the nannies tell the same story when he met with them in the Bahamas. Only…the women deny it and so does their lawyer, Elizabeth Thompson.
We’ve also learned there was another investigator at that meeting in the Bahamas who works with Clark, Wilma Vicedomine, of Houston. We’ve tried e-mailing Wilma, who goes by Wilma Vice, hoping she’ll relate what she heard, and whether she’s the mystery PI Rita claims as a source for Nannygate…but so far, no response.
We’ll have more on some of the colorful, mystery players who keep emerging in this sordid tale, so stay tuned.

Why is it so important to prove or dis-prove that Anna watched a video tape that is in question.
That has nothing to do with anything. Larry is still the dad, gay or not. And being gay is not illegal. Amazing, if you want to destroy someone, they always come up with the gay thing. Shessh. Move on already. Larry loves HIS daughter. Besides, that would be bi-sexual, IF it were true. So what. That said, Anna could have been watching such a tape, only thing is, it may have been someone else other than Larry and Howard in the tape. But then again,so what. Being gay is very common.
October 23rd, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Art,
First of all I cannot even fathom as how the publisher; “..says it will vigorously defend the suit and stands by her reporting on the gay sex charges (and everything else)”
“…there was another investigator at that meeting in the Bahamas who works with Clark, Wilma Vicedomine.” I will have to go back & read transcripts…but I swear Rita said; “Former FBI…private investigator…”
SO, DOES THIS MEAN WILMA VICEDOMINE IS ALSO FORMER FBI LIKE DON CLARK??
*interesting picture on mrcontroversy’s site…

October 23rd, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Hmmm as much as Rita Slimeball seems to have caught a break here it does make one wonder why such a close call back to court when typically such court hearings are remanded (?) for a longer time then just a few wks… I would hope the Judge has a sense that this book is nothing more then a gossip ridden back pedal poor attempt at fame by a has been never was or will be wanna be investigative journalist (??)
The book is only missing two parts:
“Once Upon A Time”
&
“The End”
Guess next time this imposter tries her hand at story telling she will stick to the facts & truth … atleast they dont change.
October 23rd, 2007 at 8:06 pm
I wonder what Rita’s publisher wants to talk to Wood about?
October 23rd, 2007 at 8:15 pm
There was so much going on with the tapes last week and all of a sudden quiet. I’m thinking that the Bahama tapes are being kept quiet until the date when they must be brought forth. I wonder if they have the same tape, undoctored, that Rita has and that they said was doctored by her. If no one made a tape of the meeting the two nannies had with the investigators nothing will ever be able to be proven and, in that case, should never have been mentioned in a book. I used to kind of like Rita Cosby but now I can’t stand her. She is just way too smug.
October 23rd, 2007 at 8:17 pm
ART, I REALLY ENJOY READING YOUR BALD TRUTH OF THE FACTS ON ALL YOUR ATICLES. I’VE ALSO ENJOYED READING JOHN NAZARIANS POSTS. HE MAKES GREAT POSTS. I’M SO TIRED OF GERALDO AND EVERYONE DOING STORIES OF LIES AND THEIR OWN SPINS FOR RATINGS. GERALDO MADE A BIG FOOL OF HIM SELF BY HAVING FORD SHELLY AND GBT ON THIS WEEKEND TELLING THEIR SAME OLD SONG AND DANCE OF THEIR STORY THEY CALL THE TRUTH AND HOW THEY ARE TURNING OVER THEIR VIEDO TAPES OVER TO THE DOJ. I CAN’T WAIT FOR THEM BAD BOYS OF SC TO GET ARRESTED FOR BREAKING INTO THE HORIZIONS. AS FOR RITA CROSBY, I CAN’T WAIT FOR HER TO GET INTO COURT AND BE EXPOSED FOR HER BOOK OF LIES. I HAVE NOTICED HOW NOW SHE DOES NOT LOOK SO MIGH AND MIGHTY AND SO CONFIDENT NOW THAT SHE WAS EXPOSED. SHE SURE IS BACKPEDDLLING NOW. KEEP UP YOUR GREAT REPORTING ART.
October 23rd, 2007 at 9:05 pm
Larry Sue was just servicing his master! Leave them alone! Lin Wood is just another butt buddy in the Daisy Chain!
Lin Wood is no pit bull… he has Howard as a client! LOL Talk about signing on with a loser!
Watch for Larry Sue to be a turncoat! He always covers his own ace! That is when he he is running scared… other times his ACE is wide open! LOL
October 23rd, 2007 at 9:19 pm
“Rita’s name will be cleared”??? What about Howard’s?? Larry’s? Sheesh.
Good lord, will this ever stop??
Can’t everyone see that this book is completely full of lies? Its the biggest he said-she said, so I’ve heard….load of crap I’ve ever heard of. This is destroying lives and Cosby doesn’t care! Karma is a bitch.
Check out http://www.rosespeaks.com/rose-blog if you want some real answers….the book is bunk and on Rose’s site you’ll see it has been debunked chapter by chapter. It sucks to be Rita when its all said and done.
October 23rd, 2007 at 9:50 pm
Still, delay or not, the judge did agree to fast-track discovery, and gave both sides April 18 as a deadine–and the date for a pre-trial hearing.
Art- I love this story I live vicariously through the stories that are told I hope this never ending Anna Nicole saga never ends it is so captivating. Now for my opinion again when you are ::: key word investigative journalist that is your job to investigate and show proof cover your back at all times.
Investigate does not mean o ya I heard that so I print it..it means to have all your ducks in a row and to have feasible solid tangible proof otherwise the word sue becomes a sad reality.
My concern in this wait and see case, is that the judge regardless if Lin is busy or not, was negligent in his ruling. This is proven fact now that these nannies never said what she said they did, it was on the news., and in her book. This information that she printed was defamitory to both parties and insulting to declare that she spoke to the nannies about it when she obviously never had the conversation.
so that means anyone can write a book claim anything about an innocent indivdual or duals and no one is going to stop them or do one bloody thing to make sure it never happens again. It is now October April is 7 months away,,,,so in the meantime those boys are viewed guilty as charged till it all gets settled,and that my friends is not justice just pandering to take up time and make people accept situations that just never existed in the first place how shameful.
October 23rd, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Yea! To the fast track discovery.
The names of those involved with be revealed shortly!!
October 23rd, 2007 at 10:05 pm
Hi Art, thanks for the update. Can you clear up one thing? Was this hearing just over the injunction issues and does the delay mean Rita’s repsonse to the lawsuit was delayed or just the injunction hearing?

Art: Why have you not published the new claim by HKS for 6% of Dannilyn’s share of her mother’s potential settlement with the Marshall family? And the fact that on Larry King Live said he was making more money now than he ever did before (i.e, when ANS was alive). It was a slip up on LKL that was covered up quickly by him and LK did not follow up on it. Will you? Thank you.
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:15 pm
Art,
Are there any rumors going around as to why Rita got the boot?

___
****What’s the news in Howard making a claim of the 6%, other than the fact that he filed the claim? He mentioned during the hearing re: Anna’s burial, the deal with Anna was that he’d get paid 6% of whatever the Marshall estate paid off. It’s old news spun to look like an attempt by Howard to get something that isn’t his. If the Marshall money comes in, Howard, Ron Rale and another lawyer each get 6% , as per a previous agreement.***

***Howard DID NOT say that. He said he wasn’t making money and still relied on his parents for financial help. Maybe you’ve been watching FANTASY LAND LKL, in REALITY, that NEVER HAPPENED.****
October 24th, 2007 at 1:17 am
Katie ,would you like to tell us wich part of the interview,
LK said Howard made more money…….Was it at the big. middle or at the end????
October 24th, 2007 at 2:19 am
Kate better read aagain HKS always was going to get 6% of any Marshall settlement weather dannielynn or ANS.So what is tour complaint.All I have heard him say is he could have made more than what ANS was paying for his clothes ect.Nothing about making more money now.As far as I have heard or seen anywhere LB and VA are theonly people besides RC who have been making money off of ANS and her and daniels death.It was not 6% of Dannilynns share try again
October 24th, 2007 at 3:07 am
Art Harris,
I found the part 4 of the interview LKL with Howard. They discuss about how Howard, if he had charged Anna the real fees for an attorney, he had made more money than he have now!!
I suggest to Katie, go on youtube on part 4 of the interview were you can listening carefully what was said!
Also Art Harris,we appreciate the fact that you give us a goods information regarding this colorful saga.
That doesn’t mean ,you have the OBLIGATION to give us information as soon as they come out!
Tank you so much Art Harris!
October 24th, 2007 at 4:15 am
Art, This is a bunch of BULL ,,,, there’s NO way that the judge should have gave a delay, it’s plan as daylight what lying A** Rita was up to. Lwood needs to come back on there A**. So the judge says what Rite done was “”Disturbing “”
but do nothing… Is this judge real ” or what!!
I want Howard to know how much! the people on this site support him.
October 24th, 2007 at 6:41 am
Art, I have been visiting your site everyday since this whole saga started and finally am responding to a posting. But first I want to say, thank you for your unbiased reporting of the facts. I am so glad to have a place to go to read about what is going on without the hateful and false replies on other sites.
With that being said, Katie…please provide a link to your claim that HKS said he was making more money now. I watched that interview and do not recall any statement of that kind. And as far as the 6%, that is his agreed upon contingent fee if the case is settled in ANS favor. He has said from day one that he was going to be paid this 6% fee if the case settled. That amount is small compared to what most lawyers get as a contingent fee in a lawsuit. Most of the time the fee is 33% of the settlement.
It really bothers me that people who do not like HKS are now using this filing as a way to show that he is all about the money.
October 24th, 2007 at 10:11 am
I would love to know since Vergie loved Anna so much why she is still letting that Video and Picture of Anna and Daniel when he died being shown. My God if that was my daughter and grandchild, I would go to the ends of the earth to stop it. Also I thought Howard said Moe released the photo and on Geraldo show he had Ford Shelly there saying that he took that photo and video from Horizons. Who the heck is telling the truth. After that showing I refuse to watch Fox!!!!!!!!!!!! Geraldo is a father several times would he want that picture shown of his daughter and grandson.
Thank
October 24th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Katie,
The 6 percent for Howard’s work on the Marshall case is old news. Where have you been?
Also, I watched the interview on LKL and did NOT hear what you think you heard.
October 24th, 2007 at 10:27 am
All this is clear as mud–~Further explanation
required!!
October 24th, 2007 at 10:32 am
Anyone who thinks that after all the work that Howard has done over the decade for Anna on the Marshall estate that he should now suddenly let go of any claim to paid for his work is crazy. It was always said and understood that if Anna recovered anything from the Marshall estate that Howard would recieve his 6%, LEGAL, claim to be paid. That doesn’t change now that she is dead. Howard did waive his right to be paid for his work as executor of her will but he has NEVER said he didn’t plan on being paid for his work on the Marshall estate. I personally don’t see any money ever being recovered from it and if it is, it certainly isn’t this massive amount everyone keeps talking about. I don’t really think even Anna herself ever seriously thought she should ever get half of everything.
Howard should be paid for his work in the event that money is recovered. Just because he has been made out to be this major bad person in the media doesn’t change the fact that he entered into the relationship as her lawyer and she signed the contract acknowledging he would recieve a percentage of anything gained. SHE KNOWINGLY, WILLFULLY AND HAPPILY SIGNED IT.
October 24th, 2007 at 10:56 am
Wow missym, you fell for that tripe? I can’t believe you think that is the whole unedited tape. I guess if you believe someone is evil because the media said so, you blindly follow everything that they give you. IMO, the person that RELEASED the photo is the sick one; not the one that took the pic. Amazing!!
And, Katie, I read the transcript and watched the show. Funny that I never heard that being said nor did I see it in the transcript. Guess LK is another one that the evil Stern got to. I think maybe Stern has me under his spell too. I actually believe him. Art, please watch out. You may be next. You know that Sterngali. He has powers that cross oceans!! Here is the transcript, Katie. You may want to read it before spreading lies. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0710/10/lkl.01.html
Great questions, WD. My take on it is that they are fast tracking discovery (asked for in the injunction), made it a ‘rule’ that no more bribes, oops, I mean no more witness tampering, oops, I mean no more witness influencing can happen. The response was changed from 10/23 to 11/13 for the original lawsuit. Looks like the book of fairy tales is gonna stay on the shelf. At least most of us know it is just a bunch of hooey!!
Finally, Art, is this Wilma? (see page 5)

Why do you people have your panties in a wad over that? It’s money he is entitled to and the claim was something he had to file. When probate is opened there is only a limited amount of time to claim money owed by the deceased. And despite what you Howard haters think he worked for and earned that money. Get over it already, your stupidity is showing.
October 24th, 2007 at 12:18 pm
How did that “source” you had on the clown tape
work out for you Art?
I’d say that you got burnt.
But fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…..well who is the fool now?
James–
Shame on you for assuming you know the whole story behind the tape, or that you’ve seen the whole thing. I dare Ford to hand over a copy to its rightful owner so it can be played in its entirety…I’m wondering how his legions of believers will feel when they see it without editing. And maybe some will start asking the question about using Riley, a 9 year old, to carry Daddy’s water…just like they’ve mused about putting Dannielynn on TV so much.
As for fools, I’d say there are alot of them who have been suckered by ex-drug smugglers and sons of used car salesmen. Why haven’t they been willing to show the WHOLE tape, not edited snippets? Whj did they steal it in the first place and claim they’d turned everything over to the police? Why didn’t they turn that over in the first place if they were so concerned about justice and not using it to leverage getting money for title to a house whose claim they have since abandoned in court in the Bahamas? Why has GBT skipped 3 court hearings there? Why haven’t any shows mentioned that, or his obvious financial motives? Or that he has been seeking desperately to secretly settle with HKS who has rebuffed him?
Or his criminal record? I don’t blame your for not having all the facts, but you need to abandon your ship of fools and do some digging.
Or demanding other so called journalists give you all sides.

October 24th, 2007 at 1:06 pm
Katie, the 6% is what Stern agreed to YEARS AGO for his lawyer service. He is entitled to that portion. In fact, most lawyers would have charged a higher %. Most who have followed already knew what his % for the Marshall estate was from the beginning, this is not new news. My guess is Vergie is biting at the bit worrying that she will not get the Marshall estate money with O’Quin. Stern deserves every dime of the money(if it ever is settled)that comes from his work.
As for the slip up you spoke of…..I didn’t hear what you say was said. I think you may have misunderstood what was said.

October 24th, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Katie,
you said, “And the fact that on Larry King Live said he was making more money now than he ever did before (i.e, when ANS was alive)”.
When did he say that?! For real. When did he say that? I’d would like to go back and watch that.
Btw, If Anna Nicole Smith ends up winning the Marshal case that 6% is HIS. Its not Dannielynn’s, its not Anna Nicole Smith’s, it’s certainly not Larry Birkhead’s, it’s his. Howard K. Stern has been workin on that case for more than ten years. He has been working on the case longer than his has known Anna Nicole Smith. It is NO SECERT whatsoever that Anna Nicole and Howard through his firm had an agremnt of 6%. For Howard haters to try to makes this into something just proves that they are just trying to start s**t!
October 24th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Mr. Nazarian,
Regarding the ‘clown video’ shown on Geraldo with the nine year old witness:
This video is on Youtube and on the 1:15 time stamp you can see at least four adults present around the pool area. Who were they and what do they say was happening that day?
The video does not show events in a continuous sequential order, it skips back and forth from setting to setting. It appears to have been spliced.
Also, there is a reference to a Mark several times in the video and production of Illegal Aliens was still in progress at the time. There is a Mark “Woody” Keppel, who portrays Vinnie in the movie. Is he the Mark, Howard is referring to? Was Anna being taped as an idea for the movie?
Lastly, would these witnesses be willing to come forward on Howard’s behalf to set things straight about what was really happening that day.
Have a good day, John!
October 24th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
in answer to # 4. howard k. stern said he would not make any money for being executor. he always said that he would get 6% on the howard marshall work. he was to get that even when anna was alive. he said he didn’t make any money when he was with anna for he would be in better financial situation now if he had.
October 24th, 2007 at 5:51 pm
When in all hell are Ford Shelley and G. Ben Thompson going to get arrested for breaking into Anna’s house and stealing her stuff?!!!! It’s been eight months already!!!!!!
October 24th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
Katie, Howard is getting 6% for his work on the Marshall estate. Are you aware of his argument in front of the supreme court and won? He has worked that case for years. He is not getting any money for being the executor of the estate. I think he should get paid for both but this is his choice. He is entitled to it.
The other question you made, I did not hear but Anna is now worth more since she died. As in the case of some celebrities…i.e.Elvis, Marilyn
Howard will also make money on these libel cases against him.
October 24th, 2007 at 10:01 pm
Howard and Anna Nicole had arranged for the 6% for Howard representing her in the beginning when Anna first signed on with Howard. That is his fee if she should win in the proceedings. He has been her attorney in all of the dealings with the Marshall Case and actually most other matters without taking a salary from her. Yes she did pay for him for everything but had he taken a salary he would have been much better off.
I saw a few minutes of the tape that Ford Shelly stole from Horizons of Anna Nicole dressed as a clown acting like a child. The entire tape is over 40 minutes long and they only showed a couple more minutes of the tape. It does show that she acted drugged up but I would have to see the entire tape before I would venture whether she was actually all drugged up or was pretending. Actually, Ford Shelly should be arrested for stealing that tape and all the rest of the things he stole the day Anna died. Neither he nor G. Ben Thompson dare to go to the bahamas because they are afraid they would be arrested so instead he goes on Geraldo with bits and pieces of the clown tape.
October 25th, 2007 at 12:08 am
There was so much going on with the tapes last week and all of a sudden quiet. I’m thinking that the Bahama tapes are being kept quiet until the date when they must be brought forth. I wonder if they have the same tape, undoctored, that Rita has and that they said was doctored by her. If no one made a tape of the meeting the two nannies had with the investigators nothing will ever be able to be proven and, in that case, should never have been mentioned in a book. I used to kind of like Rita Cosby but now I can’t stand her. She is just way too smug.

Another swell topic making its rounds lately is the 6% to which Howard is entitled for his work on the Marshall estate. Vicious attacks are now centered on that matter elsewhere on the Internet. Those who lack any legal knowledge will have a field day with this latest “shocker” and will be foaming at the mouth while spewing their venomous theories on Howard.
Oops! There may even appear another embarrassing tape. This time it will be “Howard’s tryst with space aliens causes furor. Spaceship Travesty grounded pending further investigation.”
October 25th, 2007 at 4:28 am
Why this Marshall estate is being so vigorously contested is incomprehensible. Widows and widowers are entitled to their late spouse’s inheritance regardless of what nosey spawns believe. There is a percentage for the spouse and a percentage for the children. Anna and Marshall were both adults who chose to marry each other and it is not for Marshall’s spawns to make the final decision. Marshall II’s widow is a mere stranger who latched onto Marshall II, or Marshall Junior. Who does she think she is to declare Anna unfit for the senior Marshall’s inheritance? What makes her the queen in charge?
If wills are contested and torn apart, what good is a will anyway? Just a piece of paper for the busybuddies to fight over while the will maker rolls over in its grave.

Do you not see the irony of your response? As for the whole “Clown Vidoe” my friend……it has indeed been seen all 47 minutes of it and it doesn’t get any better.
I wish you would tell your “followers” the truth – that you haven’t seen the whole video, but others have.
Remember Art “it’s one thing to call the devil and another to see him coming.”
You are not doing your “source/friend” any good continuing this propaganda re: the clown tape. Let’s make a small bet shall we. Neither one of us will ever blog again if we are proven wrong about the whole unedited tape. How’s that. But your reputation where your mouth is Art because I am 100% sure on this one.
James–Now that you say you’ve seen the tape, or personally know those who have, would you care to fess up and reveal who you really are and what brings you here, other than pure curiousity? Would you care to be a little less coy and open up to the rest of the readers here about how you claim to be trading on “inside information?”
Oh, and pls let us in on what is coming down,…show us your crystal ball, and how you come to claim one…We’re all ears. Is it really “James?”

“Shame on you for assuming you know the whole story behind the tape, or that you’ve seen the whole thing. I dare Ford to hand over a copy to its rightful owner so it can be played in its entirety…I’m wondering how his legions of believers will feel when they see it without editing. And maybe some will start asking the question about using Riley, a 9 year old, to carry Daddy’s water…just like they’ve mused about putting Dannielynn on TV so much.”

Right on, Art! Why is it that so many refuse to see the simple truth? If Ford Shelley were telling the truth, he’d provide the ENTIRE tape and not just the edited bits. It’s bad enough that people in the public take this as”proof” that Anna was drugged and Howard cold hearted etc. How can the so-called “journalists” accept this as the “whole story” when they know it’s edited footage and have to rely on a known thief and liar’s word that it is a snippet of Anna’s and Howard’s constant behavior throughout the day, and not just a game they are playing for the camera? All the news outlets that play this edited tape are just as GUILTY as Ford Shelley of trying to deceive the public and slander Anna and Howard.

Article from TMZ:
Anna’s Mystery Producer “Mark” Unmasked
In the disturbing Anna Nicole Smith video revealed by FOX News yesterday, Howard K. Stern gives repeated editing and direction to a “Mark,” who’s not on the scene.
Usmagazine.com reports that the Mark in question is Mark Schey, a creative agency exec who created the “TRIMSPA, baby” slogan and who did some web work for Anna. Schey says Stern may have intended to put the infamous clown video on her website, and adds that he had “nothing to do” with its filming.
____
The clown video is only “infamous” because of the way it’s been presented to the public. If it did appear on Anna’s website, the public would have seen the truth of it all – Anna’s playing for the camera, etc.

I think that Howard’s 6% fee is going to be a moot point because it is entirely unlikely that he or Larry or Dannielynn will be able to collect any substantial sum from the Marshall’s. It’s completely absurd that the case even went this far and has been a drain on the American legal system for over a decade. A piece that I read recently really spells out how frivolous Marshall v. Marshall is in reality. But I suppose in the bizarro world of media circuses reality does not apply. http://www.law.com/jsp/ca/PubArticleCA.jsp?id=1192698213239

With all these scrubags like elstom geraldo,grrrrta and all the gang we are not suprise to see the hate against Howard K Stern. What is unbelivable is to see ppls. talking and talking about something they don’t know. Talking is money but shot the mouth is gold!!!!

Everyone seems so worried about HKS 6% of the Marshall money if it is even settled but no one mentions tha debra Opri says she wants 10% of any money Larry Birkhead makes from anything he sells to the media Thru eternity it seems.HKS worked for many years under a contigency agreement.Can DO say the same While this 6% is not Dannilynn’s or Larry Birkheads the money Opri wants is Larry Birkheads to support his daughter

About the clown video. I would like to know whose name was on the methadone in refrigerator. does anyone know. What are they trying to prove. Is it just to make hks look bad. Wasn’t Dannielynn born healthy. When Anna died there was therapedic dosages and only a trace of methadone in her kidneys in her system. It doesn’t sound like she was a drug addict. Wasn’t her dealth accidental.

Belicoso, the supreme court didn’t think so.
The arguments made in the article were already argued and the supreme court disagreed. Anna does have the right to fight for her husbands money. You are not allowed to will out your wife’s right to the estate.
Think about it, suppose you and your husband were not divorced and he died angry at you, could he simply will your part of the estate to someone else?
If Marshall wanted to divorce Anna he would have had to give her a settlement. There was no pre nup so I imagine the settlement would be quite a bit. His actions while he was alive set her up in a style she became accustom to, whose fault is that?
I feel sorry for his children, the father did not look out for them. Again, that is not Anna’s fault. The father did not seem to look out for any of them. He actually disinherited one son but in reality they all seem to be doing okay and left Anna in a bad way.
I am sorry Peirce did not like his fathers actions when he married Anna but it is what it is and she was his wife entitled to some of his estate not matter which way you cut it.
October 26th, 2007 at 11:18 am
should have said suppose a two ppl were married
the simplest solution would have been a pre nup…parents should look out for their children and when they remarry that late in life, well I don’t understand why there is not a pre nup. Anna was young and should have been represented.

Yes james who exactually are you is it R Cosby’s friend James E who calls people names on his blog or so someone said than deleted the post.If anyone but shelly and group saw that whole tape why wasn’t it shown.Many have watched including myself and ANS did not look all drugged up as you stated look at the eyes and her actions when she is told to do something if she was so druged up she would not have been able to follow what she was told to do. Maybe you should check into the Shelly & Thompson clan.They supplied ANS drugs for at least 3 months when HKS was only around on weekends ect.Seems to me R Cosby is in hiding,Why is that?

….A piece that I read recently really spells out how frivolous Marshall v. Marshall is in reality.
——————————————-
Anybody can call a suit frivolous to satisfy their argument and cite cases that make sense to them, while another attorney can cite other cases to make the first one look like an idiot. All it takes is a good attorney with a good thinking cap and some fine paralegals or law clerks to do enough research until they find what suits the occasion. That is what takes cases so long to conclude or settle, while each side makes a fool of him/herself by filing different motions. That is what is meant by money can buy whatever. A person without funds cannot afford to pay the hourly fees that cover all that is connected with various researches.
Come to think of it, what Virgie is doing is research. She is paying private investigators to follow her preys and dig dirt, real or imagined. It must be financially wise to work as a cop in Texas. They seem to retire well.

Until someone comes up with an answer, I will continue to be in awe as to how Shelley is able to publicly explain his actions and continue to be allowed to walk free. Maybe a special detention center is being built to accomodate certain special people It should be called the “Faux BS Shelter.” The rooftop with its magnificent view will be dedicated to Greta and Geraldo.

Cops in Texas retirement sucks. Virgie doesn’t have any money. All this is being done by some greedy ass attorneys that think they can win at whatever cost. I think they have barked up the wrong tree on this one. They’re going to lose big time. They’re not going to get a legal shot at the Marshall case.

WITH ALL RESPECT, I believe ‘Art Harris bald truths are all ‘BALD LIES’…Art Harris will twist and turn any thing to favor Stern. As for Rita Cosby her only mistake was to write in her book the GAY RELATIONSHIP OF LARRY AND STERN withount talking to the nanies first, she basically when by statements of believable sources, WE WILL ALL KNOW it LATER. I believe that gay tape does exists !!
(editor’s note: this has been edited…accusations of crimes without a conviction or evidence will be deleted as well as bald faced lies.)

this is a sorry, corrupted site. COVERING STERN’S GUILTY A…..SS.

LOL Art, I guess Sue Johnston is a bit mixed up with the truth verses lies. Seems like she can’t see the truth when it’s right here all the time.
Sue, it’s the lies that get all twisted and turned. The truth is strait up, just like you see here. You’re confoozled, lol.

Ooops, misspelled straight, lol.
