Bloggers Blasphemy and BDSM. Virgie Arthur vs Howard K Stern and CBS Studios et al

June 5th, 2008 by QV

Today, a compelling argument was presented by Virgie Arthur attorney Neil McCabe of the O’Quinn Law Firm. This concerns the late Anna Nicole Smith mother’s lawsuit against bloggers Rose and Ken Turner in conjunction with her defamation action against Howard K Stern and CBS Studios. Other defendants requested to be added to the suit include journalist Art Harris, Harvey Levin and TMZ.com, Bonnie Stern, Howard’s sister and two moderators from the Turners website, Lyndal Harrington and Teresa Stephens.

The Turners, seeking to transfer venue in a manuver to sidestep a subpoena requesting their computer records, cite First Amendment objections. At the same time, McCabe outlines how Mrs Turner on her website “objects to the subpoena in religious terms relating to her domestic practices”. For those not aware, Mr and Mrs Turner practice the BDSM lifestyle and apparently have attempted to claim the lifestyle as a religion in statements made on their internet site.

An interesting notation is how Turner’s commentary sparked internet discussion prompting the creation of an article published on The Red Couch by bloggers known as Kerry and Einy. The article title pretty much says it all.

Turners Ask For Change Of Venue In Virgie Arthur Lawsuit

May 21st, 2008 by QV

Nelda and Kenneth Turner who are being sued for defamation by Anna Nicole Smith’s mother, Virgie Arthur, have filed a motion with the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to move their case to the Southern District Texas court. The documents state so they can be consolidated with the other lawsuits related to this case.

Attorney Michael Meyer for the O’Quinn Law Firm, rebuts this motion saying that the Eastern District is indeed the proper place and states that subpoenas were issued in the Eastern District and should be enforced in the same place as so far the Turners have not produced potential evidence as asked for. You can read the lawsuit documents below.
