After being given instructions on what could be deliberated upon in the inquest into the death of Daniel Smith in the Bahamas, the jury told the magistrate that they were not satisfied with the choices. They then requested transcripts from the testimony to use in their deliberations. The magistrate also refused that request.

With no satisfactory options left for them, the jury came back with a verdict of “Non Dependant Drug Use”. No further details are available at this time.

Anna Nicole Signature Collage ****Anna Nicole Signature Collage II

Thanks to BamaCat for these collages that she created of Anna Nicole signatures. Please visit her site for a chuckle and some beautiful artwork. She currently is displaying some awesome photo’s from Melissa Byrum’s new book, “When You Wished Upon A Star”, which is now out in print and can be ordered here or through Amazon.com.

And now a word to the wise…..

I am going to set the record straight. The first time that I posted Pacer documents and accidentally left Linderella’s address on them, I felt very bad and apologized as soon as it was discovered only to be ridiculed. Now either my software that is called “PDF Fill” did not white out the Turners address or I put the original document up by mistake. Whatever it was as I said in a comment, I regret that it happened and took the document down as soon as I was alerted to my mistake in spite of being busy with other things at the time.

It was not an attempt to harass or shame anyone like the “Wall of Shame” ploy to humiliate on the other site that revealed not only my IP address and the location behind it, but that of many others that only committed the supposed crime of browsing her public internet site.

Now I see someone has been dipping into my property records and has posted personal information with the specific intent to harass and intimidate. One poster on that site mentions the emails that I posted being equal to putting someone in danger. Sorry, no names or locations were posted with those emails. But if you think those emails were something, just wait, that was only a speck in the cesspool of corruption that is going to be exposed through the court system.

A Pacer account is free for anyone to have with the pages costing .08 cents each. Anyone that wants the info that I posted by accident can get it easily and as I stated before, if this was done with malice, nothing would have ever been whited out but I would have blatantly posted location and names as has been done with me. Not to mention that other site owner has been broadcasting personal information about herself since before 1999 and to expect complete privacy is not really rational and neither is lying or inciting hatred and violence.

If one little single incident happens to harm my home, my family or myself….well, lets just say, it better not.

See eight signatures to compare here

Attorneys for Virgie Arthur filed a motion to compel Howard K. Stern to produce certain documents that he was requested and failed to bring to his January 4th deposition for the Arthur vs Stern defamation lawsuit.

Attorneys for Arthur obtained a couple of the requested documents pertaining to a bankruptcy that was filed by Anna Nicole Smith in 1997. Page four of the current motion contains references to the Contingency-fee Agreement which is attached to a Debtors Application to Employ Special Personal Counsel between Howard K. Stern and his now defunct law firm, Stern, Rale and Khavarain.

In a footnote on the page, counsel for Virgie Arthur suggests the reason that Stern did not produce the document as requested is because the two documents which were signed by Vicky Lynn Marshall on the same day, have discrepancies in the signatures looking like they could have been signed by two different people. Also, one of the original attorneys in Stern’s former firm was disbarred.

I have taken screen shots of the two signatures so you can compare them yourself. The Nanny checks are up there too.The top one signed by Howard and the bottom one signed by Dr Khris.

The rest of the motion lists what Stern was requested to produce and his arguments for not doing so.

Don Clark interview on www.scaredmonkeysradio.com

Former FBI Bureau chief Don Clark along with Houston attorney Neil McCabe attended the inquest in the Bahamas into the death of Daniel Smith on behalf of Virgie Arthur, Daniels grandmother, who also attended.

Anna Nicole Smith’s only son died of an overdose of methadone three days after the birth of her daughter Dannielynn while Daniel was visiting them at Doctors Hospital in Nassau.

Mr. Clark explained the Bahamian court system is based upon British law. He states there are differences between their methods and the court room methods used in the United States.

He said that a Bahamian attorney was hired to guide Arthur’s attorneys through the legal “maze” and did as good of a job as anyone could hope for in determining how Daniel Smith died. When asked about a potential verdict, he said that he is skeptical as to what the ruling will be.

He said in any investigation, the scene must be secured and evidence preserved to determine a correct conclusion. However there was a void in the facts that were allowed to be presented such as the statement that was given by two nannies that cared for Dannielynn. It was not allowed into evidence. The nannies could not be located to provide their testimony.

Clark stated the huge dose of 20 to 22 tablets of methadone is what experts said killed Daniel. Also noted is that up until July of 2006, there was no evidence of any use of any kind of drugs by Daniel.

What he thought was relevant is that Daniel landed in a California hospital in July of 2006 due to anxiety and depression on the same day that Howard K. Stern left the country to join Anna Nicole in the Bahamas.

The only person that gave any testimony to the contrary was Larry Birkhead who said that Daniel and a couple of friends stole methadone from the refrigerator at the Studio City, California house. But it was argued that it’s far fetched that anything taken out of the refrigerator could be identified due to the positioning of the surveillance camera.

Mr. Clark said news reports that have been published are wrong concerning potential verdicts being taken “off the table”.

Nothing has been ruled out. The judge did not give the jury any instructions yet. So the rumor that a potential finding of homicide being taken off the table is false. He said that it was only agreed between attorneys that Daniel did not commit suicide.

Clark said hospital video of Daniel shows a young man who is happy and excited to see his mother and meet his new baby sister. He added that when a nurse came to the room to remove the baby for the night, Daniel requested the baby be allowed to stay in the room overnight.

ScaredMonkeysRadio.com said they plan to interview Mr Clark after the conclusion of the inquest.

With so much conflicting information coming out, I think it will be safe to say that this inquest is not a trial. Its a coroners inquest and the jury has been given extra time to decide because of the complexity of the situation. It has been reported that Magistrate Campbell has stated that what happened to Daniel is most likely not a homicide nor is it a suicide. So, I am withdrawing what was written previously. If you look below even Yahoo made a small retraction. Love 97 radio reported that reporters were not permitted in the court room when the summations were given. Magistrate Campbell stated that he will give his final summation on March 31st as he also needs more time.

It is very interesting to note that on the very important day of Howard’s testimony, Wayne Munroe was NOT present. Yes, why was Mr Munroe there every day except for that particular crucial day?

Bahamas judge delays Smith deliberations

NASSAU, Bahamas - A judge on Thursday postponed deliberations of a Bahamas jury charged with deciding what killed the son of former Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith. Read the rest of this entry »

Once again, I was able to speak to a source who was present in the courtroom.

Jack Harding nor Melanie Thompson were present today as expected. The Nannies were also missing and their statement was not allowed into evidence. The statement from the nurse that has not been able to be located was allowed. She had said that Howard left the hospital twice on the early morning hours of September 10th.. Once for food and then again for unknown purposes.

Howard testified that he loved Daniel like a brother and never thought that he would kill himself. He admitted taking the picture of Daniel after he died and was being cradled in his mothers arms. He testified that he was asked to take the picture by Anna Nicole and if he had to do it all over again, he would still take the picture. Howard also stated that he had no idea that Daniel was using any type of medication, prescribed for him or otherwise.

Howard also testified that he did not carry any drugs for Anna Nicole. He has no knowledge of a duffel bag. He said that Anna Nicole took care of her own drugs. She prepared and administered them to herself, he said.

Witness testimony is concluded. The court will reconvene on Thursday morning where there will be summations heard by the court. The jury will then deliberate and if any decision is made other than suicide or accidental death, there will be more investigation by Bahamian authorities and possibly the United States will then become involved.

In spite of the previous post, I was able to contact sources that were in the courtroom today during the inquest hearing for Daniel Smith. Here are the actual highlights of today’s proceedings.

In a Bahamian courtroom, the witness stands when they testify. A chair may be requested but today only two requested a chair. A pregnant woman and Larry Birkhead. That one caused a bit of a chuckle in the audience.

Most remember that Larry Birkhead gave a statement to Bahamian police concerning the death of Daniel Smith in 2006. Today Larry attempted to paint a picture of Daniel as being a rowdy drug using teenager which conflicted with that prior statement.

There have been no medical records out of California or evidence or official reports of Daniel abusing drugs or having drugs in his system contrary to what has been told to the public.

Larry testified that there were cameras mounted to the ceiling in many rooms in Anna Nicole’s house. He said there is a video showing Daniel taking methadone out of the refrigerator. Questioning revealed because of the positioning, there is no possible way to see what was in the refrigerator or taken out of it and that fact was proven today.

As questioning went on and Birkhead’s answers continued to conflict with his 2006 statement that he gave to the Bahamian police, Magistrate Campbell asked Larry to read his statement. Larry refused. Magistrate Campbell admonished Larry and said he has the discretion to detain him in jail for seven days for not cooperating or answering questions and he would do so if Larry did not start answering the questions. Larry said he thinks that he should have an attorney present. The magistrate told him that he is a witness and there is no need for an attorney.

Transcripts are not readily available from the Bahamian court as they are in the United States, so the jury must carefully take notes to refer to when they are in deliberation. At one point, even the jury seemed exasperated with Larry and stopped their usual note taking.

Howard K. Stern’s attorney Wayne Munroe questioned Larry concerning when Anna Nicole was pregnant and in the hospital detoxing from methadone. It was said that even though she was there to detox, Howard gave Anna Nicole the duffel bag containing the very substance that she was detoxing from. Also notable was the fact that Anna Nicole’s doctor entered her hospital room at that time carrying an ultrasound of the baby. The doctor showed the ultrasound picture not to Howard but to Larry as if he knew that Larry was really the father.

All in all, it was not a good day for Larry Birkhead who occasionally covered his face with his hands during testimony. He finally had to admit that not only did he never see or have any personal knowledge of Daniel taking or using drugs but he also never saw or had personal knowledge of Anna Nicole giving Daniel any drugs either.

Larry Birkhead testified today at the inquest into the death of Daniel Smith held in the Bahamas. Birkhead had previously told the Bahamian police that Anna had given Daniel Ecstasy, but on the stand Birkhead said he couldn’t say this actually happened.

Birkhead also testified that Anna Nicole was concerned about the friends that Daniel was hanging around with from the community college that he attended and her concerns also included a possibility that he was drinking too much and that he had lost 20 pounds and was breaking curfew.

Birkhead also said that Anna Nicole preferred Daniel take drugs in her presence rather than running around experimenting with his friends.

Birkhead told the court that a bottle of Anna Nicole Smith’s methadone disappeared from her Los Angeles home around April 2006 and a review of the home’s security videotapes showed Daniel Smith had taken the powerful prescription painkiller.

In response to a question, Birkhead said he did not know if Daniel might have removed the bottle to prevent Anna Nicole from taking the methadone, a drug she had struggled at times to drop.

Birkhead under oath, was asked about other statements he made to the cops back in 2006. He had told police he saw Howard K. Stern smoke pot with Anna and Daniel. During his testimony today, Birkhead said he was not completely clear on what he saw.
Sterns attorney,Wayne Munroe, noted that Birkhead was embroiled in a custody fight with Stern at the time of the police statement.

The 18-month-old daughter of Anna Nicole Smith was declared the sole beneficiary to the late model’s estate Tuesday March 4th 2008. Howard K. Stern, named executor of Anna Nicole Smith’s estate petitioned a Los Angeles probate court to clarify Smiths intentions.

L.A. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff’s ruling also establishes a trust on Dannielynn’s behalf, with Larry Birkhead, Dannielynns father and Stern serving as co-trustees.

Smith’s assets at the time of her passing were estimated at $710,000, but Tuesday’s ruling is said to position Dannielynn to inherit a fortune if the legal battle between what is now Smith’s estate and the family of her late husband, billionaire oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, turns in her favor.

Stern filed on Oct. 18 seeking to having Dannielynn singled out as Smith’s heir, presuming Smith would have provided for Dannielynn had she drawn up a more recent will.

“As a matter of law, Dannielynn is a pretermitted heir,” Stern’s petition stated, meaning she was an accidental omission, or someone who likely would have been named in the will except for the fact that the person drawing up the will didn’t know her at the time..
