Bald Truth Exclusive: Debra Opri Back In Court Today
By Art Harris, (c) www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
We’ve obtained, in another Bald Truth Exclusive, motions filed by Debra Opri against Larry Birkhead that lay out her strategy in court today, when she’s expected to ask the judge to take back what he already granted her–a speedy court date–and to reconsider her plea for arbitration, not hammering out her fee deal at some nasty trial.
Also, the second motion has Birkhead’s interrogatories attached, along with admissions, production of documents and deposition. We’re betting Birkhead attorney Michael Trope has a few tricks up his sleeve, and will keep you posted how he responds.
Opri’s moves are, as usual, as fascinating as a filibuster, and sketched out in our court docs below. Read on and let us know what you think.
More to come.

Wasn't Dana Walker someone Larry was supposed to have an attachment to at least so the tabloids said.Now she signs an something for D.O. against LB.Sounds kind of like the SC crew with ANS saying they were her freinds then going behind her back and going to DO and LB against her.This also goes to show Ford Shelly lied when he said ANS told him to steal her belongings.My question was why wasn't this bought out before now ,why not at the firt hearing,D.O attorney seems to make big mistakes as seen in another case where he put wrong information in a court case and D.O tried to correct it by saying he did not know it at the time he filed papers for her.Sounds like LB maybe in for the fight of his life if D.o has her way.She sure does not want this to go to trial. Makes one wonder just why that is.Could it be that she would have to admitt to giving info to RC and or other people.

A hearing on Opri’s attempt to compel arbitration is set for July 9, according to the statement.
If Art posted on June 2, 2007 that DO wanted to force binding arbitration then DO had filed her arbitration motion on or before June 2nd.

SEE PAGE 1 OF 7 paragraph 1: On August 21, 2007 a petition to compel arbitration was filed by Debra Opri.

See page 21 of 81 at link:
In Dana Walker’s declaration dated August 29, 2007 she backs up DO’s claims that LB owed DO money.
So why did it take from June 2007 to August 29, 2007 for DO to get a declaration from Dana Walker?

Dana Walker says she has been friends with Larry for over 20yrs. I’m glad I don’t have a friend like her. Why has Dana become a part of team Opri?

It shouldnt surprise ANYONE that another supposed trusted friend would flip sides to gain some airtime … Considering that Dana was supposedly a long time friend to Birkhead and now that Birkhead is thrust willingly and against his will in situations that yet another person has thrown respect and support and FRIENDSHIP for the almighty dollar … betcha it wont be hard to find out if Dana got a present or a lump sum put into an account via her new friend Opri … what does Dana do for a living and How could Opri gain from her and vise versa ???? Oh the lovely faux friends riddled throughout this tragedy .. when truth and facts are just not juicy enough …. nor worth more then pennies … WOW
Good catch Art 😉 As always !

If Dana Walker who was, (or is Larry’s friend) is willing to testify agaist Larry in the Bahamas court, Larry needs to clean up his house and choose friends more carefully. He needs to begin by discarding what’s outdated and useless beginning with the Shelleys.

Declaration of Dana Walker
Pg 19 of 81
Paragraph 1
Dana Claims to be a long time friend of Larry’s and known him for 20 years. Claims to be friends with his family, including his sisters, Angie and Judy for the same period of time.
Paragraph 4
Dana says that in response to a comment she made in her FL kitchen that larry looked at her as if to say “Now you tell me.”
After reading these comments made by Dana Walker in her Declaration I have concluded the following:
Dana is no friend of Larry’s. Friends don’t do what she is doing to Larry. Maybe she’s Opri’s friend now. She also indicates that she can read Larry’s mind from the way he looks at her in response to a comment she made to him.
Why has Dana turned against Larry or has she never really been a true friend to him?
Did she volunteer to give this Declaration to Opri or did Opri ask her for it?
Can a person be compelled to give a Declaration or testimony for a Court motion? Doesn’t a subpoena have to be issued unless the person is willingly giving their testimony and then it has to be as a witness in a Court trial?

IMO LB is to close to the S.C. bunch he needs to get away from them they are not his friends.Sounds to me like a you scratch my back I will scratch your’s.IF VA can get custody of Danni(God forbid) she would give the horizons back to the Thompson clan.I would bet that the house they stayed at was the Thompson, Shelly clans home.Another reason to always cover your back and has been said let no one know anything that may some day come back on you

# 4 in answer to your question, Dana is suppose to be a Biology Teacher, divorced with a son. In his early teens or almost a teenager.

Dear Art,
How sweet, a category for ‘Sugar Pie.’
