61. How can he say it will provide some resolution if it is NON-CRIMINAL and UNDETERMINED????? DR perper must have been sucked in by the Howard show on Entertainment Tonight.

63. I am amazed at all of the gossip with no facts. I can't imagine if any one I knew was accused of everything under the sun before any facts in the case came out. It was not Dr. Perper who shipped ANS out to the bahamas, it was by court order.

64. In my mind, there is no coincidence b/w the inquest beginning (Mar 26) and Dr. Pepper's announcement. (Mar 26) His theory on cause and manner of death will be used in the inquest to draw parallels. It is quite relevant information, don't you think? Or was it just a coincidence that two people died untimely deaths? Age 20? Age 39?

(yes, I know: Perper........not Pepper)

65. Why does the Seminole Police, the State Attorney's office and the medical Examiner 's office all have to be involved if there isn't a continued criminal matter. Am I missing something?

66. I know Perper "appears" to be honest, but I just can't buy the "no pills in the stomach". It's just questionable how son can die then mother, and all they have to report is that they both were junkies, died from methadone, the public accepts and we move on. Also, why and what prompted Daniel to speak to a PI, and was in the process of hiring him??? As much as you all are Vergie haters, I'm so glad Vergie and her attys are going forward in a criminal investigation. Not saying that HS is responsible, because he was just as much a junkie, but folks something smells like a big fat rat here!!!! If it were my family, I would be just like Vergie, because I just can't accept both deaths as coincidental. Nope, Nope, Nope!!!!

71. Marcia:

You idiot. Do you think the police would tip their hat at this point on the criminal investigation? Announcement on cause and manner of death, then the indictment. Mark my words.

Posted at 3:41PM on Mar 22nd 2007 by Really, Marcia....where is your brain?

72. And I thought Judge Seidlin was showboating, Dr. Perper wants to be the new Quincy......and what is going on with Atty John O"Quinn? Whenever he is interviewed on TV, he acts and talks like ANS on drugs. Where has the Mighty Quinn of the 80's gone? ......if you want to wack someone do it on a foreign island eg Bahamas--Aruba or in the state where Floridiots live. You'll get away with it.......Mrs. Gibson takes care of Dannielynn not HK$...............I want this scenario to be over so I can get back to my fun life.

73. The only person who likes more attention than Anna Nicole, is Dr. Perper, himself.

Why wait till Monday? Ok, it buys him an extra 15 minutes of fame, that's why.

74. I dont understand, if he can announce a time and date for the announcement, then why cant he disclose it now? Why the holdup??Lawdy, if this was a book, I would have turned to the last page already just to see how it ended.
Good Luck Larry!!! I'm in your corner.
