Steve Sadow, a real “Discovery”
Filed Under In the news, Anna Nicole Smith
Reflect on those wonderful, song-filled days in church and hearing “what a friend we have in Jesus.“ And that other one that I learned quickly was, “Steve who?”, “ Said what ?”, ahhhhhh Steve Sadow, what next, will we hear Geraldo singing the praises of Howard K. Stern?
Prosecutor Rene Rose must feel like those Japanese soldiers who hid in the jungle for 40 years waiting to fight or be rescued, only to realize that it is was all over. That being the battle, the presentation of the evidence, the long hard fought battle. Oh for sure the evidence that she has would show “guilt,” but Rene, you got out-lawyered by the Gentleman from Georgia. Sadow so narrowed what the prosecution could present with the blessing of Judge Perry that it must be like trying to make a nice tomato sauce with no tomatoes! Ben Thompson, Ford Shelley and the rest of these folk must have had a “coming to Jesus” moment. These guys were like the Huns at one time, entering the castle and pillaging in the name of Anna Nicole Smith. “we will save all of her property from those who should have it.” Once again, can we all remember the interviews early on and what was said? Does anyone remember the stories these people were telling…and now in Judge Perry’s court we have the “Harper Valley PTA.” Good god can we have a sing along and lean to and fro? How disappointing it had to be for the prosecutor to sit and listen to the people’s own witnesses continue the Sadow “beat.” All we needed was Sonny and Cher’s wonderful song, “The Beat Goes On” playing softly in the background…and Judge Perry sitting and keeping beat with his head going back and fourth!
Again, when all these people hated each other, that was when the truth was spoken. Yes sirreee when there was no fear of being served papers or of being sued…that has all changed, and I guess when you are walking in and out of a public building and cannot hide, the thought of being served has to be with you. And of course we have the ultimate secret weapon, Steve Sadow, I never heard of this guy until the publicity picture went up with Steve, Chris, Howard and what’s her name. Howard and I will never forget that picture and announcement, it was an awakening, a new day, praise the lord! Chris is a good lawyer in his own way and has a lower key in his style, Sadow needed Chris to be able to throw the prosecutions case into the gutter. Chris has been more of a well dressed lawyer with an occasional comment about the weather…sit back and watch the show Chris. BUT! Sadow, he was this lawyer from Georgia who changed the whole case for Howard K. Stern. The initial feeling was that HKS would throw the docs under the proverbial bus if he had to. And we have all heard one of the ‘two pals” say how he “did not understand how Howard was in with the doctors.” Well if we play all that stuff during “the drama in the Bahamas” and the Attorney General of California was hearing all of this and thought he could hang his hat on this case for publicity. This was said way before the indictments and is still a question of wonderment. When you hear the testimony from the Bahamas, HKS was the original demon seed. However when these very same people speak now, one must wonder if Howard was not Jewish would there not be a papal thought of sainthood?
Ah but in the end it was the “Sadow,” oh you betcha! And as of lately, we now have Judge Perry feeling the need to make comments that must make Prosecutor Rene Rose feel like the Secret Service when that nut job threw his sandal at George W. Bush and they were in the back eating fruit loops…how has this case and the prosecution of the stooges gone so wrong for the prosecutor? Poor Rene must feel like a tap dancer with no taps, a puppeteer with no puppets, an actor with no show, a photographer with no camera…..ok I’ll stop.
And how about this, Anna Nicole Smith’s mother has to sit there in that court and listen to what adds up to nothing but “hog wash,” And she will be sitting there most likely when all three are set free. The facts and the truth will once again be placed on the back burner until someone writes a book based on the truth. It is all right there for all to read at some point, it is called “DISCOVERY.”

“G Ben Thompson, a South Carolina developer, said he began a romantic relationship with the former Playboy model when she visited his Myrtle Beach home in the summer of 2005. He said she stayed in his room while Howard K. Stern, her lawyer and sometimes boyfriend, stayed in the guest room.”
That is dedication, Anna would go in and take care of business with the wealthy developer and Howard would be camped out in the “Guest Room.” Was he still her boyfriend at that time or was there a time-out called? This behavior was called into play with one of those politicians in the Bahamas at one time, was it not? And I can see you all getting your soap boxes out to shout “not fair.” I think that if more people had open relationships like Howard’s and Anna’s there would be more married couples sitting around with one looking loopy and the other wondering what happened. And relationships would last longer…well, maybe!
“Smith was pregnant, and when her daughter was born in September of that year, Thompson said, Smith asked him to put his name on the birth certificate as father of the child.
“I contemplated it but it was not the right thing to do,” he said. “I knew I was not the father. I had had a vasectomy.”
“A vasectomy.“ well that is nice, as there are a few in this Anna Nicole Smith saga who I am sure have had frontal lobotomies. Hell, I understand that you can even re-connect the tubes in one of those sperm road blocks. But as we all know you cannot fix stupid. Anna had to know who the real daddy was very early on, after all she was there. And if there 
was any question at all there sure was none when the little girl was born. Just beautiful, and let me say this, some babies are just ugly at birth and remain ugly babies until death. Not Anna Nicole Smith’s baby, she is nothing short of gorgeous. Now when you look at Anna and “him,” there is no question that the two would have had a beautiful baby. Soooooo why did Anna Nicole Smith go through all that she did when she was alive to prevent the truth and “him” from taking the rightful position that he deserved? G. Ben Thompson, daddy? Daddy from Hooterville, what did Anna see in this guy — Hmm a house in the Bahamas? Why did she go through so many hoops and even to the point of making Howard K. Stern the daddy? Did you all remember that, how cool it was. Even looking back and realizing many people had been duped, in the “happy couple” thing. Even though all of us who had any sense stated, “the baby looks like him, you know the other “him.” And in the end it was proven who “daddy” was, him. And from that point, who would have ever expected the turn of events that would follow. The question is this, had Anna Nicole Smith lived would she have ever given credit to the rightful father, and if not why? Was it the outside influences, was it the drugs or was it something more devious?

Like I said from the beginning, Judge Perry did not like this case from the very first hours of the prelim. The defense was thrilled and less thrilled when it was going to be held in another court. Then in a twist of fate it was back with Judge Perry. Folks he does not like this case and in my opinion feels it to be a waste of judicial time.
Note: the quotes below are from Linda Deutsch’s article for AP, I would have gone down to CCB but I was scheduled for a foot massage and my dog’s nails had to be clipped. Choices, choices, choices LMAO!
The criticism came as Superior Court Judge Robert Perry reluctantly agreed to let jurors see a videotape of Smith on an awards show in a performance her former boyfriend Larry Birkhead said was considered “loopy, wacky and crazy” by many people.
Perry, however, said outside the jury’s presence that he was concerned about the prosecution’s case.
“It’s the people’s position that Anna Nicole was kept in a drugged state,” Perry said. “They claim she was a pawn in the hands of her handlers and doctors who kept her in a drugged state to control her and her money.”
The evidence so far does not support that, he said.
“I’m seeing a strong-willed person who ordered people around and was her own boss,” Perry said.
Judge Perry gets it, the charges as they are filed are the problem, as I stated before, the truth will never be found in this courtroom. The truth was when everyone hated each other in Florida, do ya remember all of that? The accusations when you listen to all of it it made great sense. What is happening now is again as I predicted, Howard and Company are on their way to freedom. Good lawyering for sure, but the prosecution built their case on wet sand and the tide is coming in. Poor Rene Rose must feel like a juggler, and instead of nice firm apples, she got eggs and they are all cracked and she must be feeling what everyone else is feeling: Can we do an omelet? And that feeling once again, “what are we doing here?” After what these people have been put through, one would think the city of angels would be going to compensate them for a bad prosecution. Hindsight is always 20/20 and again if stupidity was a form of wealth many of these people would be billionaires. The truth and the facts are never going to see the light of day as it sits right now…well that is the hope anyway.
Perry refused to let Rose show a video of Kapoor nuzzling and kissing Smith at a party after a 2005 gay parade. But the prosecutor was allowed to show still photos of the events. In one picture, Kapoor was bare-chested. In another, he was standing with Smith and wearing a T-shirt with the inscription, “Trust me. I’m a doctor.”
Thank you your Honor! What was he looking for, a nut? Girlfriend you need to check yourself, nuzzling? This is why I don’t drink anymore and I bet Kapoor will have different thoughts on that behavior in the future. “Trust me. I’m a doctor”…from my knowledge Kapoor has a very successful medical practice and will be fine. Dr. Eroshevich will too survive if found not guilty and Howard? Not a question one of the most brilliant minds I have ever been around…on certain subjects. It is his reasoning one must look at and wonder, why did you do that? The worm is turning and it is going into the favor of all three at the present time. Initially I felt HKS was going to do the happy walk either way, but one has to always wonder about an L.A. jury.

Thanks to Linda Deutsch, world class reporter with AP, she has reloaded me for another hour or two of farce at its best. We continue the search for words that will help all of you non-believers understand that there was some bad shit going on. And yesterday was one of those days that the worm was turning, along with Dr. Kapoor’s stomach.
“Prosecutors showed jurors their most explosive evidence against Anna Nicole Smith’s doctor Thursday — journal entries in which he writes of partying with her during a gay pride parade and wonders, “Can she ruin me?”
Well I am pleased to report that Dr. Sandeep “Trust Me I’m a Doctor” Kapoor will have no problem in the future for employment in the event he is forced to surrender his license to practice medicine. He can become a “reader,” this is a term used in the Gypsy community to predict the future. “Can she ruin me?”, the next question could well have been will her lifestyle and those who share it with her, watch her move into the hereafter. “Explosive evidence“…more explosive than these peoples’ careers blowing up before their very own eyes?
“drinking expensive champagne “ with Smith’s boyfriend, Howard K. Stern!
Howard? My only question was who was paying for it? Anna, Howard, the six cops, the waving fans, who? “mesmerizing, watching the crowd wave at us,” and now Kapoor is doing the waving, as his career drifts away into the land of the unknown.
“Genens and Marquez said Kapoor told them he did not have any patient files at home. But when she poked her hand into a pile of neatly folded clothing on the floor of his bedroom closet, she said, she felt papers and extracted a file folder with Smith’s name inside, along with one of her pseudonyms and the name of her son…Genens testified that three different files were found — two in the home and one in Garafalo’s office — detailing a single home visit made to Smith a year before she died. One of them mentioned that she had a possible addiction to opiates, he said.”
Now come on all of you non-believers, why would the “buffed one” be hiding one of ANS’ files in between the shirts in his closet. Was it so that he could rub them all over his buffed body? And also with her son’s name on it, what was he doing? Was he going to re-construct a medical file, you know, this was the truth then, but this will be the truth now. Then I will look fine and no one will know the difference. Well that was great thinking as long as the cops don’t raid your house early in the morning as you lay there thinking how clever and buffed you are.
Note: Dr. Eroshevich is in trouble for not keeping track of her treatment of her pal in the form of files. And we have Sandeep Drummy keeping multiple records, perhaps different versions but none the less records…some days you just cant win.
Now here we go with my promise for the special words, I told you there would be some great ones, here is another: “Nefarious.” Now that is a very strong word…someone should print that on a T-shirt and sell them outside the courthouse.
“Nearly a year later, he wrote, “I’m addicted to Ambien. I’ve got to get off it.”
Sandeep, you may very well be a medical doctor and you…seem to know what you are doing. And through my “studies” I wonder what it is exactly that you do? Well, more of that later. “I am addicted to Ambien,” you are also addicted to stupid, you were warned by the old doctor you bought the practice from and you paid no attention. “Orgy?”, who was at this orgy? or was that the ambien talking? An “orgy,” girlfriend what were you thinking…don’t worry, you too have Ellyn Garafalo a world class lawyer who will explain all your stupidity away. Well, at least she will try. And again, we have Howard K. Stern, still wondering what am I doing here?

The following news clips came from someone that I have a great deal of respect for and that is Linda Deutsch, the legend from AP. I hope that she does not mind me using them, but I have a reason.
“Under questioning by Deputy District Attorney David Barkhurst, Schueler said he did not find the powerful sleeping medication chloral hydrate in Smith’s bodily fluids because it has a very short life of about four minutes.But he said he found metabolites showing the drug had been present in large amounts and had probably been taken for eight days straight.”
Dr. Eroshevich was beyond helpful in the early stages of this investigation, to the point of suggesting that Dr. Perper dig deeper into the buttocks of Anna Nicole Smith. When he did he found “pockets of infection,” that would have gone unnoticed.. Had it not been for Dr. Eroshivich, I too believe that it would have gone unnoticed (Wondering, if you cook a medication down in a spoon, like a junkie, and then draw it up into a less than sterile syringe and inject the same into the area of the buttocks, does that leave residual material behind to cause an infection?). It was smart that Dr. Khris assisted the coroner, and more to the point that she was being open and wanting to make sure that there was no question as to the amount of medications that were still sitting in the bottles. Lots of drugs for sure, however, lots still not used. This was very smart and was done to be completely transparent with the authorities. So smart that who else is surprised that it was Dr. Eroshevich who did it???!!!!
“No illegal drugs were detected by the toxicology tests, he said.”
Now if I was sitting in that jury I would be right about now saying to myself, “self, why am I sitting here?” “no illegal” drugs does it not get any simpler than that? All I have to do now is hear “therapeutic” level and I should go home. This is a twist, is it not? Nothing illegal, that is a good thing. HKS must be sitting at the defense table wondering, “what am I doing here?” Now in this segment it would be Kapoor looking like he digested a large feathered bird. Sure, Dr. Eroshevich did take a great deal of care to try and monitor and control the intake of the Blond Bomb Shell…that same “bomb” that blew these peoples’ careers right into the crapper. No matter what the outcome of this “trial,” these three will be credited with the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Sure, Drumb and Drumber and The Drum Major, “march this way and follow me, I am in complete control”…Those fateful last hours had to be like juggling ten balls and at one point the pain you feel is the realization that two of those balls are your own!
Under questioning by lawyer Steve Sadow, who represents defendant Howard Stern, Schueler said all of the drugs except for the chloral hydrate were present in small amounts at “a therapeutic level.”
“Therapeutic Level,” I was not present, but I bet “The Gentleman from Georgia,” Steve Sadow did one of those glances towards the jury, as to say, “did you hear that?” And again, HKS and the two dummies are wondering, “why are we here?” “Therapeutic Level”, this had to be painful for the prosecution. I recall in the early stages of the pre-lim that Judge Perry did not have a solid grasp as to why “this” case was being prosecuted…go look at the record. Not exactly but look at the record and see what his honor said.
“A chart prepared by Schueler showed the medications were prescribed by numerous doctors, including some in the Bahamas, with many of the labels showing pseudonyms for Smith, including Michelle Chase, Susie Wong and Jean Smith.”
Michele Chase is back on the “set,” girlfriend! Tell me did you ever think that this would get to this point…a simple name, “Michele Chase,” if the girls at the club could see you now. Having read a great deal over the last several months I got it, the “relationship,” “daddy.“ LMAO Back to the chase, well the story, again, where are all these other doctors? “some in the Bahamas” well they are safe. Any others here, and if so why is it all we have sitting at the defense table are the two dummies? Was Kapoor and Eroshevich’s timing all wrong. Did they fall into a political trap? Should there not be others warming the seats? Quite frankly, Dr. Eroshevich was trying her best to try and save ANS from killing herself. Well lets just hope the rest of her practice was a bit more successful. As I stated before, Khris could be fun and engaging at times and is not a bad doctor. She really wanted to help, and try and get it right, it is no fun sitting and traveling with a dead celebrity, quite frankly the whole thing at some point would be a real stinker. Another good word, “stinker,” “stinks” and “scheming,” let’s do this, as this trial goes along let’s pick words that will reflect what this case is really about. These are good starters, I promise there will be some Hum Dingers when the cast of characters leaves “Hooterville.”

“Superior Court Judge Robert Perry has said Smith’s cause of death is not an issue in the trial of Stern, Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. The defendants are not accused of causing Smith’s death.”
Well that makes me wonder, Dr. Perper’s previous decisions are they final? Is this bunch totally out of the woods? It would appear that Dr. Perper has big problems coming and fast. How many times can someone fall before they die and it is still considered an accident? I guess if someone keeps falling with or with no help that could be murder. Well except in Florida. Perper was a breath of fresh air to the Three Stooges. He found that there was no foul play, or words to that effect. Now that his sense of reasoning is being questioned could this be a problem for the “magnificent three?”
The rumor has been out for awhile that maybe Florida would look into filing murder charges against Howard K. Stern, and the two docs. My research tells me that it is still a possibility, and have wondered with comments coming from the bench if this is not an omen.
As I stated, due to some excellent legal maneuvers on the part of the defense, the prosecution’s case is in deep trouble. I almost feel and wonder if Ms. Rose may just want to pop some popcorn and throw it around the courtroom like my old friend Rip Taylor (he threw confetti). But the effect would be similar, joy and laughter, comic hilarity…And every time Steve Sadow states, “I object“, bells, whistles and Ms. Rose would throw popcorn. I am predicting that as this case proceeds there might even be horns and party hats coming out of handbags and briefcases.
“The prosecutor objected to Monday’s testimony, saying the defense was trying to implant the impression that everyone around Smith was scheming to get money.”
“The judge said it was his impression that everyone was scheming, and the defense had the right to attack the credibility of the witness.”
Prosecutor Rene Rose used the word “Scheming “ in reference to Mr. Sadow’s questioning of Da Moester and his “disc with photos.” Howard knew from the start that the disc was stolen and was at his wits end trying to get it back or to stop the usage of it. After all, that was money that should have been going to the estate of Anna Nicole Smith and not to Moe & Taz (I love that name combo). But “Scheming” that is a great big word in this case, as it would appear there was much “Scheming,” everyone had an angle and to many the “scheming” continues. Along with false witness, get while the getting is good, be careful what you wish for, show me the money, The Common Good, and one of my favorites, No Good Deed Goes Unpunished.
Judge Larry Hyman granted the warrants.
15th Circuit Deputy Solicitor Jimmy Richardson said the five residents are being called in the trial because they were familiar with Smith and her physical condition.
“They were witnesses to the demeanor of Anna Nicole Smith,” Richardson said quoting documents from California officials.
Ford Shelley told Hyman that spending four or five days in California will put a financial hardship on the group because they will be away from their jobs. Shelley also said he told investigators in the case he had no knowledge of Smith’s demeanor.
“We were not a party to any of those things,” Shelley said during Monday’s hearing.
Well whoever would have thought that the distinguished group from South Carolina would not want to make an appearance. Hell in these early days of this “adventure down the hole” were they not every place and telling “their” story? And now Shelley states, “we were not a party to any of those things“, what next…”what Anna, Anna who?” “Howard Stern, I don’t like his radio show.” Come on, it is all about their fear of getting on that stand and the “Great Sadow” brings to light all of their interesting past life experiences (remember our system gives everyone a chance to attack each other and unless you are just hours out of the womb, all of us have things to hide, some more than others). Hell at this point, I would bet they would be saying “keep that god darn house in the Bahamas.” And give them credit for figuring this out, now they are going to be coming to California. Sure while in South Carolina throwing rocks was fun, shit it was nothing short of a F’n party and now? They will be getting to meet the ultimate get even guy, yup and that will be “The Gentleman from Georgia” Steve Sadow. I will be around for that, I am actually looking forward to it as I am betting that they will be funnier than Da Moester. With Judge Perry’s comments from the bench and the shenanigans of the prosecution’s witnesses, tell me there is not a place for a good chuckle? Keep it down though, his honor has incredible hearing.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, was this not the group that entered Anna’s house moments after her death to make sure all of Anna’s and Howard’s personal property was safe and sound from “thieves?” And was that not some of the same stuff that went sailing off into the sunset to only reappear in different media outlets. No I am wrong, I am sure that never happened, I need to get some rest, I am weary of all this.
And in closing some of my readers are curious who am I supporting…I do not like anyone in this case (with the exception of one or two). My initial response was that I thought two guys were just trying to do well by a child. This I stated publicly and I do believe that the father of that little girl loves her more than life itself. I also believe that the other male in the picture also loves that child with an equal amount of love. I don’t like any of them, not one and I am sure that feeling is quite mutual and I guess it is my weeks of studying the discovery that confirmed much for me. For sure I had my own thoughts about the “players” and their behavior. The work of the investigators just made the “light” brighter and in time it all made sense. And like all of the rest I too have an agenda, would I consider it “scheming” no I don’t think so. And for any pending lawsuits I understand TRUTH IS A DEFENSE, so as long as you are not lying and have proof, you are good. Then again it could also be more like a poker player, you just never know till someone “calls.”

Should you ever find the need to go over the border into Mexico at the Nogales, Arizona crossing let me suggest this: Best Western Sonora Inn & Suites. The place is brand new and a total non-smoking facility. A great work out room, incredible pool and the rooms…
The rooms are as nice as I have ever had, huge spaces, huge baths and very high ceiling. The baths are all tiled and stone, beautiful, the rooms are fresh and painted in light hues of blue with nice graphics, and the carpeting too is easy on the eyes. The linens are wonderful and fresh and the owner, the guy who built the place is right here, Manu. Manu is also very fascinating to talk to, worldly guy…the best. When I called initially I spoke with Raul, another great asset to any Inn or Hotel…a little like my friend from Italy, Joe-Zeppy, but quiet. He took the information and when we arrived tired and in need of a shower and good rest, we got it. Thanks Raul!
Best Western Sonora Inn & Suites provides a real nice breakfast and the coffee is on all night, no complaints here folks just great service at a reasonable price. We had work to do in Nogales/Sonora Mexico and coming back to this place after visiting Mexico was nothing short of an oasis, smiling staff and clean air conditioned accommodations. Free internet!
Best Western Sonora Inn & Suites, 750 W. Shell Road, Nogales, AZ, 85621 (520) 375-6500 sonora750@yahoo.com Tell them you read this article and want some good clean living. Each of these hotels are privately owned and operated…

Big Moe’s tales cut off
Filed Under In the news, Anna Nicole Smith
One must wonder, when it comes to criminal defense, about the art of “neutering”…from what I understand the other day’s testimony given by Big Moe was nothing less than boring. He could have given that testimony over the phone via AT&T or face to face or Skype. I was not there, but I was for the prelim. If given the chance he had some great stories. I got a big kick out of Big Moe, he was entertaining and at times powerful in his testimony. However we all know that was then and this is now.
Ever notice that when Sadow smiles he looks like the shark on the tuna cans? And Ms. Garafalo, seldom does she show any teeth but when she does smile it is pleasant…a little like Boris Karloff asking “would you like some tea?” The other guy, I know nothing about except that at one time he rep’d Phil Spector…..isn’t he doing life? Sure there is Kapoor’s “dig me” journals…that had to have cost him $75,000 to discuss and deal with. And Eroshevich’s photos that were circulating around the world at one time.
And then we have Howard, all of these people I am sure they wish they never heard of “celebrity” and all that it brings, lights, action, fancy hotels, leemos, and body guards and other potential witnesses to be used against you at some time in the future. Then the big “Flash,” and the goose that lays all the golden eggs is found to be dead.
Steve Sadow has the knowledge and the verbal skills to surgically remove one’s testicles, or at least perform a rough circumcision with a hatchet. Now I don’t know if Moe had a meeting with Jesus or what, but lets give him credit that he saw the light. Now I have used that expression in the past as to “seeing the light” and I too saw it and as time went by for me that light got brighter. Sadow through good lawyering and incredible ability has “trimmed” the story line that the prosecution was hoping for, and here we have Big Moe, laid out and filet’d and he just arrived.
It was written that Da Moester was “nice or easy” on Dr. Eroshevich…well, Big Moe has a soft spot, and it is nice to see a memory also. As the back story to that relationship could “sizzle”…It was also brought to my attention that when I wrote that Dr. Eroshevich “made no money” in her relationship with ANS that I was wrong. I have asked that source to present me with any proof that the good Doctor made any money from any source and I would print it. To my knowledge Doctor Eroshevich spent her own money to try and be a faithful friend to someone I do believe she cared for. Her reasons for caring I believe are two fold, she loved the Hollywood angle and she also was a doctor and had knowledge on how she could help Ms. Smith. And in saying that, if the Academy gave out Oscars for stupidity and not being able to see the smoke before the flames torched your own career, Dr. Eroshevich would have a room full of Oscars.
For all of you coming to testify against the Three Stooges crew…all I have to say is beware. Beware of Steve Sadow, this is one lawyer that I think can do some serious “neutering.”. The other part of this three ring circus has not even arrived yet (witnesses), wait, we have the “crew” and it will be almost like an 8 course dinner, pretty soon you are sick of eating. For this I think that we will get sick of hearing the babble, there will be some truth allowed. Much of the truth will remain in the investigators’ notes and reports, never to see the light of day. And the reason is great legal defense, Sadow and Garafalo, again look at these two as surgeons, ouch! If you came to court in hopes of getting “revenge” and “speaking your minds?” against the three stooges forget about it, not happening, you are done, it is not going to happen. Pay your lawyers and move on to your former careers if you had any to begin with. Look at the coverage, this story is dead, dead as ANS. The next big day will be the verdict, I promise that I will be back soon to get all this first hand.
For some of you I have to wonder why put yourselves through this? Surely, Rene Rose is not going to go away quietly and she is a very seasoned prosecutor and she will make the points she has to, but with Steve Sadow sitting just feet away, Ms. Rose all I can say is get used to hearing that dam southern accent and the words, “I object” !!!!!

Well, what a ride, the preparation for the inevitable, the trial of Howard K. Stern, Dr. Khistine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. It is August 4, 2010 and the “machine” is warming up! Howard K. Stern looked rested and quite frankly he looked great, the best I have seen in a long time ( I had seen him at his worst at times during my early days of assisting with his defense). Dr. Sandeep Kapoor looked stressed and agititated, it will not be fun having his personal journals read aloud to the jury and the audience. His journals are mean spirited most of the time and just darn nasty. The dark side perhaps, but a little “bitchy,” if you know what I mean. Yet when you speak to him he comes across as friendly and caring, what he must be thinking? The loss of a medical license after years of very hard work cannot be easy to be looking at. Dr. Eroshevich looked as if she had run a marathon, her hair was not coifed as it was on most days and she looked a little ragged. She looked terrible as a matter of fact. At her age, to be going through this has to be taking its toll, unlike Kapoor, she is in her twilight years. When you look at what she got herself into, I am not sure she will ever want to be a celebrity hanger-oner. She too is a very compassionate person and loads of fun at times to talk to. She is the most educated of the three and was good at what she did, and I do believe that she meant no harm. However, the doctors as they were presented to the jury by the prosecutor just seemed terrible. Go figure what were they thinking, why was not more effort placed in getting Anna to a re-hab center?
Over the years we have managed to get many celebs loaded into the car and hauled to Cedars or one of these money pit rehab centers. Betty Ford was one that I had spent many days and weeks at making sure all went as planned. Sure the treatment facility had a plan, then so did my client!
The defense got a huge break with the return of Judge Perry, during the pre-lim he did not seem to me to be happy that this case was coming down the criminal courts highway. When it was transferred to Judge Wesley’s courtroom there was a great deal of concern as to how it would play out. The defense and defendants were concerned, Sadow however seemed to be a hit with both judges, it is that dam “Steve Factor.”
Ms. Vergie Arthur entered the courtroom at 8:35 A.M. She was nicely dressed and she too seemed comfortable and focused. She held the hand of a gentleman who I am assuming was her husband, she sat a few seats from were I was sitting. There were two others with her also and they all sat in the rear of the courtroom. Quiet and patient, she was there to watch and listen to those who are charged in preparing her daughter for the afterlife.
The jury entered the courtroom at 9:47 A.M. and it looked to be a good cross section of our society. This was there big “debut,” the group who would either “set ‘em free or drop the court house on ‘em.”. Them being the three stooges, it almost appears that they have been “stooged.” Why was this not done in Florida? The Bahamas? They are not like Moe, Larry and Curly…they come across as being sinister and conniving if you believe the prosecution…there is so much more!
Prosecutor Rene Rose was on top of her game and laid the foundation for some serious rock throwing and eye poking. She is good at her job and she is tough, I felt that her presentation and cadence was right on. Steve Sadow was nothing less than fabulous, this is what this guy was meant to do. He is interesting and good ol’ boyish in his delivery and had the jury’s attention. So much that Prosecutor Rose objected a few times only to have Judge Perry to throw a chill on her.
Much was made of the ‘names’ that were used in the course of making sure Anna stayed medicated. The name that just kept coming was “Michele Chase,” over and over again this alias was used. Hmmm I am reviewing my notes, but I recall that this was a name used by a male who would sometimes “cross dress,” and was associated with Anna Nicole Smith & Co. For many years I would visit the ‘Queen Mary’ in Studio City, California, it was owned by one of my very good friends Robert Juleff. This place was a show place with live shows of female impersonators and in the very back was a very special bar. Robert would tell me that on a busy night you could go back there and find lawyers and perhaps a judge or two, depending on what night of the week. There were some pretty strange looking folks back there. There were also some rather attractive ones but you had to keep in mind that many had extra equipment, I always had a ball when I visited the place! Michele Chase will live on forever in the Anna Nicole Smith story.
Here is my prediction, Howard K. Stern will walk, he has a great lawyer, Steve Sadow is going to have this jury eating out of his hand. Dr. Kapoor I am not sure, on paper he looks just terrible, but he too has one of the best lawyers out there, Ellyn Garafalo, she is different and has a very no nonsense attitude. For Dr. Eroshevich who is on lawyer 3 or 4, she has lots of hurdles to get over and at her age it won’t be easy getting over them. Not sure how much the prosecution will get into in all of her baggage, but most is not good. And she has more baggage than a Pullman Coach. And in saying that, she is the only one who never made a dime on her relationship with ANS, it cost her money to hang around and be a “doctor!” And in the end, it may cost her her entire career (deals are good, too bad, we hope you enjoy the view).
We will be reporting in and out on this trial as time will allow and we at DesperateExes.com wish all three of these people the best of luck…..and for those who will testify against Howard K. Stern, wear a vest and a safety belt as Sadow is going to ?rock your world”…and ‘”Michele,” where is my lipstick?

Well it did not last long, that being sleeping in my own bed…I am in Seattle on assignment and all is going well. The City of Seattle is everything that Europe is not, like clean! This place is really nice, and the views are just spectacular, lots of open water and blue skies. You get a sense of peace and that all is well. We flew up to Seattle from Los Angeles using Virgin American, that too was great, great service and a flight crew who really wanted to make it a special trip. We flew “first class” and it really was first class, I could tell as those who were flying “cargo” walked past our seats and made comments like, “I wish I had a seat like that.
No one enjoys a good hotel better than I, however, I have to keep in mind that the focus is the assignment not the place I am sleeping and holding meetings. So I have used La Quinta Inns and Suites all over the country when I can. Some of these locations have had some great rooms and even better service in the past. NOT THIS TIME, to all my readers, AVOID the La Quinta Inn Downtown #436, 2224 8th Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98121…this place stinks, literally. My first room we had was #303, it smelled as if they had stored cadavers, it had that odor. I use the comparison of cadavers as I can never forget that smell having worked in a mortuary. Hmmm had someone “checked out” in this room at some point??? We were moved to room #703, there was no way this group of asswipes was going to give us a room with a view. The hallways smelled like something was decomposing and Fabreeze was used to cover it up. This place is privately owned and I have found when you stay at a La Quintas you have to look for the ones that are corporate-owned. The privately owned ones are the ones that were on the brink of total failure and then hooked into the La Quinta brand to save what was left of a failure in providing clean and competent service. I have also found that they also will gouge you on the rate per day. Let me end this by saying it is almost as disgusting as when kissing your granny and she tries to slip you the tongue…awful!
My friends at AVIS rent a car in Studio City handled the reservations for Sea-Tac (airport in Seattle) and upon our arrival we had a nice new Malibu waiting for us. Visit these guys in Studio City on Ventura Boulevard, they know how to keep it real and great rates on great cars and they can handle your rental any place you travel to.
We had a crew of four that handled the assignment in Seattle and all when off like a well-made blueberry pie and the best part was the vanilla ice cream…perfect! Thanks to all that participated in achieving the goal in under 24 hours. I had planned four days…

No love songs in Melissa Etheridge court battle
Filed Under child support, Melissa Etheridge, In the news, Custody, Divorce, Lawyers
Forget Rome and the Coliseum, to hell with gladiators’ swords at the ready, all you had to do was be sitting in Judge Hank M. Goldberg’s Department 82 for a battle of two legal titans. We have Neal Hersh of Hersh, Mannis and Bogen representing Melissa Etheridge and her millions against Stephen Knowles of Knowles and Collum and Melissa’s ex-love Tammy Lynn Michaels. Both of these legal beagles have offices steps away from one another in Beverly Hills.
Well the comments and oratory got so heated that Neal Hersh references some of Stephen Knowles work as “slobbing and sloppy,” Knowles looks at him as if to say “you said what?” and one point warns Mr. Hersh, “Mr. Hersh does not want to get into that” in Neal’s attempts to get this back to Judge Pellman’s court. The voices were loud and I had never seen either of these two lawyers in such a jaw lock. Hersh at one point looks at Mr. Knowles and in a stern tone asks, “are you done?” and Knowles looks back adjusting his glasses and states just as sternly, “ Yes, I am done.“ Much of this stems from the fact that Stephen Knowles bagged Etheridge in New York while she was at her hotel waiting for her former love of her life, Mrs. Tammy Etheridge to bring the kids to visit. Well Tammy Etheridge aka Tammy Lynn Michaels called in sick to Mr. Etheridge or Mrs….you get it. And then someone delivered room service LMAO but it was not a snack but DIVORCE notice! Well that was all it took for these two lawyers to realize there will be no playing nice. It was a great set up and Melissa got served!
Mr. Hersh wants this case in Judge Pellman’s courtroom and Stephen Knowles position is too bad, I bagged your client first and you have not even served my client with anything! Well Judge Goldberg would step off the bench and appear to be confused as to what to do. He would come back and if he could have would have “placed his hands under his butt and rocked”…his “honor” did not really know what to do or was so baffled that he was going to send it to the “PJ” for review…or something around those lines. Too bad it was not in front of Judge Gordon or Lewis, control would have been taken and a decision made right then and there.
Reflecting on Rome and Caesar, here is another thought. Neal Hersh and Stephen Knowles are gladiators, sandals and little short togas to match. Judge Goldberg is Caesar, not one of the strong Caesars, but Caesar. The two gladiators are battling and in the end, they don’t get thumbs up or thumbs down, Caesar finds he lacks any thumbs!
Knowles went on to say that Tammy is broke and often her credit cards don’t work, Neal was quick to remind all that Melissa pays all the bills, rent , lights and water, everything and gives Tammy two grand a month plus pays for the car lease too. Knowles shoots back that she makes “60 to 70″ thousand a day and that her kids are “destitute” and that Tammy’s credit card is often declined. For many in the court that did not seem to be “destitute” and after nine years together playing house. So now my question is do you still really want to have all the rights of “straight” people? Along with the right to marriage, welcome to the world of DIVORCE and family law…write a song about that! The Neal Hershes and Stephen Knowles of the world will be happy to sing backup.

Fists of Fury at Stanley Mosk
Filed Under Courthouse ramblings, Humor
News Flash, Wednesday morning, July 14th, 2010, approximately 0945 hrs, Stanley Mosk Superior Court, Judge Hank Goldberg’s courtroom: Two divorce lawyers having an altercation, one grabs the hand of the other and shoves papers into it stating, “there, you have been served,” the other lawyer snaps, “don’t ever put your F’n hands on me again”. The server takes a cart and shoves it into the shin of the other and that is when a quick right hook flies, missing the chin of the server and striking the chest area…and did I see Lawrence Leone in the middle of all this? I sure did, Lawrence was doing his very best trying to explain to the deputies why his co-counsel was only defending himself against “Da Server”…
DIVORCE, everyone is fighting to be heard and seen!

My day in court was bookended by time spent with my pal, Jeff Sklan. He is so irreverent and quick-witted that you can’t help but laugh with him, even if it is at your own expense. Jeff finds himself very entertaining and at times charming all you have to do is ask him! We met up in the Grand Street security line, which seemed to stretch all the way to the LA cathedral. “John, did you pick up a tape worm or find an amazing tailor in Rome?” was Jeff’s response upon seeing me as he had not seen me prior to my departure for Europe.
The truth is, I had lost eleven pounds on my trip to Europe recently. The food was unhealthy (and I know unhealthy), expensive and not that good, I explained. We parted ways, Jeff to his appointed rounds, and me to mine. At 2:30 or so, we met up in Judge Borenstein’s court, where a friend of his was arguing against a minor child traveling to Nicaragua to meet his new step-mother. It was an interesting hearing. The Court finally decided to allow the trip with a surety bond and strict penalties for enforcement, acts of God excepted. “What about coups d’etat ” Jeff muttered. I too wondered what about when some disgruntled General and a handful of degenerates decide to take over the airport? We both laughed so hard that the bailiff shot us the stink eye and for a moment, it was like grammar school.
I asked him sotto voce about what he had seen that morning. His reply, “Nothing that a condom couldn’t have prevented.” Also there was a little “judge gathering” for a new judge, Jeff wondered out loud if he/she would be able to read?
Someone asked me about my trip. Jeff chimed in and said , “The food really must have been bad. Nazarian lost 11 pounds when someone else was paying for his meals…” Funny. And true. So much for the Eternal City. I prefer the City of Angels.

It’s good to be back in the USA
Filed Under Travel
Summing up this Eurohell journey I am not even going to discuss Paris as I am feeling that I am beating myself with a baguette and that I have stepped in some bad smelling brie. Here is my theory on all these people who do go to Europe and come back with all the “wonderfuls“ and “Fabulous“ and “Breathtakings“: All BULLSHIT!! I know the difference between BULLSHIT and roses…
First, you are not getting any refunds on this miserable experience, and there is no way anyone can go to these places and not realize you have paid a small fortune for this European Adventure. Second, unless you are on serious meds you will also realize that the cost of almost everything is just nothing short of terrible. I am a working class guy and so are the roots of my entire family, no one has given me anything and all that we have I have busted my back to get. And then to see what we had to deal with! The only explanation I have is that people who experience this attack on their wallets are going to try and make it better. So in defense of this bad decision, we all get the “wonderful, fabulous and breathtakings.” For me it is no problem, I have a few friends who live in Switzerland and they tell me that every day waking up in Europe you realize fast that it is very costly to do so. So enough on that subject, bottom line, Europe for the most part is a huge rip off.
Now in closing, I have traveled the world as a child with my father, this was a very long time ago. So long ago that I can remember when one of his ships came into some of these foreign ports it was a news story. No not because I was on board, it was just the times…it was a time when the American dollar ruled and Americans were like royalty. Those days have changed, now we as Americans are more like targets, the dollar will always outlast the Euros, Francs and all the rest. For me it was a real wake up call to stop complaining and understand that I/we are so lucky to have been born in the United States of America. And to have an even clearer view of what a wonderful place this is, even with the issues that some of our cities have to face, it is still the best place to call home.
As for beauty and majesty there is nothing like the Redwoods of Northern California, show me anything more incredible than the Grand Tetons or Grand Canyon or Cape Cod and Marblehead on the East Coast, it does not exist. When you have seen everything that this country can offer, then I say, if you got dollars to toss into the sewer then go to Europe. Remember this, a well done National Geographic DVD will be just as much fun and when you watch it, go get some real bad food and sit down and watch it, it will almost be like you are there.

The flight from Copenhagen to Rome was great, the airport was easy and the people polite. SAS airlines was wondeful, we flew “coach plus”…it was comfortable and the crew accommodating. The “plus” gave us a breakfast of cheese, liverwurst, bread, yogurt, orange juice and a hard boiled egg half. Yum! Not good for your blood sugar. I am still shocked at the HIGH CARB diet, all the breads and pasta and rolls and pastry and the only thing I can figure is this…little or no fast food. Most of what I see are thin to medium normal looking people…just like the US once was. The only fatsos I see are tourist and they appear to be from the U.S. My research has put the blame on the fast food industry. What else can it be….all they do here is eat bread and donut foods and BUTTER! And have good looks.
We land at the airport and the taxi ride is our first Italian experience and it’s just as you see on tv, lunacy in a Fiat! We are moving fast and I see we are inches from a bumper when Mr. Taxi flashes his lights and the bumper moves over. Unlike in the U.S. you flash and the SOB gives you the finger or just continues to cruise and hold up traffic. The Italian taxis are hugely famous for ripping off tourists, this from Italian law enforcement and Giuseppe at the front desk. I was told horror stories of Canadians being charged 95 Euros each to get to the hotel, or stopping in the middle of the road and asking for more euros. Our driver did not disappoint, the fee from the airport to the hotel should be 45-50 Euros that was fine, until this pirate in a Fiat wanted 1.5 Euro for each bag….I got banged for 60 euros, not bad after hearing the horror stories.
The Hotel we are at is very nice, Pinewood Hotel Rome is located on Via Della Pineta Sacchetti 43 Rome, Italy. Our room was cool and tomb-like but a better shower could not be found at the baths. And the TV had no English except for the BBC and CNN, all the other channels were all in Italian. The two bright spots for me and the boys were Giuseppe and Mauro, these two guys made our stay comfortable and entertaining. Giuseppe was the first voice of intelligence I heard when he told me to watch the taxi driver and if I had any problems to call him and he would come out. Giuseppe is as Italian as you are going to get and if you are having a problem he is going to make it all go away. Mauro is a bit softer spoken than Giuseppe and as engaging and always ready for a good laugh. Both of the young men are credits to the Pinewood Hotel and are going to be my only real bright spots in Rome. Neither of these two people tried to take advantage of us in anyway and at all times tried to look out for our best interests. Before I forget there was also Roberto, who I hired to be my personal driver while in Rome, great kid…he made visiting the old crumbling stone buildings easy, comfortable and fun.
I am a little disappointed that the Pope did not have time for an audience this morning as I would have asked him a favor. Would perhaps he and his papal congress speak to god and see where the pull chain is to give this wonderful city a good “flush.” Rome is an obviously very interesting city and the Vatican! And the Coliseum! Circus Maximus which would be a great title for my European experience. However, filthy…the streets have not been swept since Nero was playing the fiddle. Oh for sure certain areas were cleaner than others, however, at times the odor was so bad I thought I was in Malibu. I am sure his Holiness was busy reviewing and looking at the numbers as to what this “boys will be boys” issue was going to cost the corporation…I mean the church. As is my mantra, nothing is free in this life and if you are going to be chasing alter boys and the rest you will have to pay, almost like a good divorce! It is reported that no other entity in the entire world has more gold than the vaults of the Vatican. The millions who flock here leave as much at the door and that is dribs and drabs when compared to the real wealth…I should have bought a church out of high school.
