Fanciulla, who is one of my favorite debaters on the Topix thread, “Who Thinks Anna and Daniel Were Killed”, found an email previously published on the site jonbenetindexguide.com.

The recipient of a letter from Atlanta, GA  attorney - L. Lin Wood gives permission on the page above to republish the email if its done in its entirety. Although I am publishing the email here, please go to the page above and read her excellent arguments concerning Wood’s comments.

Thanks again to Fanci for the find and to Carole for the suggestion to post this.

Dear Tricia:

Mr. Ross’ article is based on outdated information, false statements and misrepresentations of fact. Like you, Mr. Ross knows very little of the actual evidence in the JonBenet Ramsey murder investigation. I never cease to be amazed at the bias of people like you against the Ramsey family. You do not know them and the tragedy suffered by their family is really none of your business. Yet, you and others elevate yourselves to the role of judge and jury even though you do not know the evidence. And you apparently take pride in circumventing the justice system to accuse people of murder and other illegal acts.

Mary Keenan knows all the evidence. You can continue to fool yourself by trying to “spin” or otherwise explain her statement to your advantage, but you will fail. The weight of all of the evidence points to an intruder. And it is more evidence than Judge Carnes’ was able to see and it is more evidence than Lou Smit has previously disclosed. I am comfortable with my representation of innocent people. And I am comfortable with the fact the person now in charge of the investigation is fair and objective and will follow the evidence.

Too bad for you that you are so uncomfortable with the fact that the evidence does not implicate the Ramsey family.

If you have any credible information about this case, please contact the District Attorney’s office. I prefer not to receive any more e-mails from people who apparently have so much free time on their hands that they become obsessed playing amateur detective. Personally, I think people who immerse themselves in this case on the Internet are disturbed individuals who must not have much of a life and are to be pitied.

Mr Wood wrote this email over five (5) years ago. I wonder if he has learned anything about the power of the internet by now. I see he has written about this subject but I have not had the opportunity to read his work.

Wood apparently must have gained some type of respect for crime buff bloggers. It was his office via attorney Ben Erwin who endorsed the receipt of and collected internet research leading to the appointment of Rose Turner by herself and Bonnie Stern to the position of “legal liaison for Howard K. Stern“.

Does the legal liaison position include asking people to comitt dubious acts such as “pretexting”? One such request from Rose via email would have involved calling Virgie Arthurs family in an attempt to obtain personal family information. Details are in the legal filings for the blogger case.

I am not saying that Wood or Erwin had any involvment with that scam. However I would caution them to “know thy conspirators”, before enlisting their help.

While I’m at it, I would like to acknowledge all the abusive comments and accusations of criminal behavior from Rose and her members concerning some PUBLIC AND UNPROTECTED documents in Arthur vs Stern et al and the Bloggers, that I posted for all to read the other day. I see the comments. They are on the internet with my real name finding their way into search engines. They come to my email box too. It would be one thing if the accusations are true. But they are not. I’ll leave it at that for now. But I don’t think those type of comments are going to win the defendants any sympathy from the judge or a jury.

Do Powell and Goldstein know what they are getting themselves in to?

A Class Action lawsuit filed against the giant law firm of Bryan Cave is asking for 5 Billion Dollars.
Plaintiffs are charging Cave and his partner with fraud and conspiracy  by misrepresenting to employers an illegal scheme to fund pension plans.

These plans which started selling in the late 1990’s are deemed to be abusive tax shelters. Cave is charged with telling potential buyers the IRS would have no trouble with the structure of the pension plans.

Here is a list of the insurance companies who are in the class action suit in addition to many individuals and companies.
*  Indianapolis Life Insurance Company,
* Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company,
* Pacific Life Insurance Company, and
* American General Life Insurance Company.

Its no wonder this country is going the dogs with things like this going on.

The numerous lawsuits arising from the death of Anna Nicole Smith are all moving forward. Notable is that most of these suits have protection orders in place for at least a year and a half so the public will have to wait to see some of the more supposedly sensational material.

In Howard K. Stern vs Rita Cosby and Hatchette books, investigators Don Clark and Wilma Vicedomine gave depositions. Counsel for Stern in the Florida case of Stern vs O’Quinn requested to use not only those depositions but that of California Private Investigator Jack Harding who says he spoke to Anna Nicole’s son Daniel before his death. Harding says Daniel expressed fear and mistrust of Howard K. Stern’s involvement with his mother. When Daniel died unexpected and tragically in the Bahamas visiting his mother and meeting his newborn sister, Harding’s business card was found in Daniel’s pocket.

O’Quinn offered no objection to the use of those depositions which are protected from public view but Georgia defamation attorney Lin Wood for Stern would not allow Stern’s deposition to be used. Counsel for Rita Cosby also allowed her deposition to be used in Stern vs O’Quinn. Don Clark gave a deposition in Stern vs O’Quinn as well for a total of two that will be looked at in the Florida case.

A customary mediation hearing in Stern vs O’Quinn scheduled for today had to be postponed due to Florida attorney Robert Klein suffering from the flu. A call was made to Sterns counsel Lin Wood that went unanswered so Klein asked co-counsel Krista Barth to reschedule the hearing. She refused to reschedule but an emergency motion to Judge Rosenbaum resulted in the hearing being postponed.

Don Clark

COUP DE GRÂCE:

DON CLARK’S AFFIDAVIT SAYS IT ALL

Summary: Former FBI special agent Don Clark has submitted into the record an affidavit in which he reveals his findings at the conclusion of an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel. He concludes that Howard K. Stern was “intimately involved” in their deaths. His affidavit and its contents are now part of the legal record, which has been the objective of many, including this writer, who have believed Mr. Stern may have been responsible for the deaths of 39-year-old Smith and her 20-year-old son.

Just picked up a copy of US Weekly magazine. This blog does not correctly process question marks in the title. If possible, I would have placed a big question mark ??? behind the “Tombstone for Anna Nicole” part.

US magazine published a story about the arrival of Dannielynn’s 2nd birthday. She sure is a cutie and I hope she had a wonderful time.

As I read the article, I came upon this paragraph quoting Larry Birkhead;

What does this birthday mean to you?

…Today I’m toy shopping; last week I was tombstone shopping for Anna’s grave. [He and Howard K. Stern plan to put it on her Bahamian grave to commemorate what would have been her 41st birthday on November 28]

Part II.

In writing these articles we hope to alleviate fears, encourage individuals to stop posting harassing threats of imminent lawsuits and educate ourselves and others as to exactly what constitutional protections are afforded to each of us. We also hope that these articles stimulate debate on the topic of internet postings, the right of free speech and the limits imposed by the current case law.

Freedom of speech is at the heart of America’s unique sense of liberty and democratic values. Justice Louis Brandeis wrote in Whitney v. California (1927), that

“freedom to think as you will and to speak as you think are means indispensable to the discovery and spread of political truth… order cannot be secured merely through fear of punishment for its infraction; that it is hazardous to discourage thought, hope and imagination; that fear breeds repression; that repression breeds hate; that hate menaces stable government; that the path of safety lies in the opportunity to discuss freely supposed grievances and proposed remedies; and that the fitting remedy for evil counsels is good ones… the best test of truth is the power of the thought to get itself accepted in the competition of the market.”

Latest responses from attorneys for John O'Quinn who is being sued by Howard K. Stern for defamation outline efforts to have investigators Don Clark and mainly Wilma Vicedomine deposed and arguments against exposing attorney work product. There is currently a motion to quash the request to depose Ms. Vicedomine which has been granted due to her investigations possibly being used in other related cases. See article.

O'Quinn also rightfully objects to attorney fees that Stern attorneys demand as a sanction for O'Quinn filing "baseless objections"? 

The three ongoing lawsuits which also include, Stern vs Rita Cosby, Virgie Arthur vs Stern and eight other defendants including bloggers are becoming more intertwined as the cases move forward.

Also filed in the case of Stern vs Rita Cosby from her publisher is a letter to the court verifying all parties agree to an extension of time until September 26th from August 15th for the close of discovery.

Cited in the letter are complaints of non-cooperation by Larry Birkhead who is a crucial witness in the dispute over statements in the book Blonde Ambition and the estate of Anna Nicole Smith. Not to mention the complication of the Wilma Vicedomine subpoena effort being quashed and the inability of Hachette Books to locate Jackie Hatten who made claims of knowledge of a sex tape featuring Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead.

Subpoenas were served to the blog owners of RoseSpeaks by Virgie Arthur’s attorney Neil McCabe. One for each owner. They were served in conjunction with Virgie Arthur vs Howard K. Stern and CBS Studios Inc. and KPRC Houston

In addition to that, Attorney Krista Barth requested permission from the court to be able to appear as an attorney of record in the United States District Court, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.

*Edit. I’m sorry that I did not read the last document that was posted here more closely. Attorney Barth’s request to appear in Houston was not yet signed by the judge so I removed it.  

Rose subpoena

Ken subpoena

Barth request

Also, there is a photo on the above mentioned site that is claimed to be “Einy”, a Virgie Arthur supporter and blogger. That photo is definitely not “Einy” but is a woman that is a Bahamian resident and is said to be a descendant of Norman Rockwell.
