Big Moe Returns to the Hard Rock

Big MoeAnna Nicole Smith's bodyguard returned to the Seminole Hard Rock Casino yesterday -- the very last place he saw his former employer alive.

Though we're not exactly sure what Big Moe was doing at the hotel Sunday, he was part of Anna's entourage at the hotel when she died February 8. His wife, Taz, was the person who found Smith lying unconscious in her room. Moe reportedly phoned 911.

As first reported by TMZ, Moe was interviewed by Seminole police and we're told he told the cops Howard K. Stern had given Anna drugs during the last months of her life.

571. Based on what he was "told" Perper said that Anna was happy and in good spirits at the hotel and then said in the same breath she was depressed. Boy we know why Perper is a medical examiner and not a shrink. Now Howard can wirte his book "If I Did It". If I was Vergie I would start a Civil Suit. OJ had the Dream Team, Howard has The Gay Team.

572. i am so disappointed at the Florida findings....it is obvious to anyone with a brain -
Anna was treated as a "cash cow" by everyone surrounding her. I believe there is
great culpability yet unaddressed. Drugs were the controller but who was doing
the controlling? Stern and company should be wary - unanswered questions need
answers. I worry about the little baby's condition. I hope someone seeks answers
for Anna, Danny and the baby.
This is not right yet. To Stern's lawyers - I say blah-blah-blah!

573. If an excuse stated as to why Anna was not taken to emergency room with her high fever was that she hated P.R. (Since when!) that would result or that the last time she was in a hospital room, her son died (ASK HKS about that) then I ask...why did she not hire a MIDWIFE for a home birth so she could have the privacy (HA!) "she" wanted. Why didn't they take her to a private physician who had client-patient priveleges to make sure her various ills/crisis moments were taken care of properly? And if Dannielynn is never seen outside of Horizons...does she ever get her ever other month or so newborn check-up by a pediatrician? I remember going alot for a healthy child. How is Eric Gibson related to other Gibsons? I saw the post that said his girlfriend was in Hard Rock Hotel room after ANS died.

Never saw 3/21 show of Catherine Crier interviewing K. Barta....went to CourtTV and couldn't find it in Archives...anyone have a link?
Hey-I noticed that too that Howard's eyes seem to change color......ahhh...brown before and blue now....he will try any trick except do a legitimate DNA test to show assumed paternity. Yep, he is a good research lawyer and manipulator but not actor-interacting with other humans-the Inside Edition ANS death fake grief scene on plane is Susan Smith all over. Hey Moe, a black man was falsely accused of that one too-BEWARE caus you and your wife are the fall guys. Can't wear slick suits in prison.

575. Maybe the reason they had a mishap with flying to miami first, maybe they were trying to skirt immigration and had a connection to avoid getting the passports stamped????

576. BLOG SITES INFILTRATED BY BLOGGERS-FOR-HIRE
The Houston Chronicle
Wed Mar 28 2007

It has recently come to light that the lawyers representing Howard K. Stern have hired a public relations firm in an effort to turn his reputation around. A source who is an employee at the office of one of Stern's several lawyers says that Stern's team of advocates are "desperate" and "quite alarmed" that, despite their best efforts to sway public opinion in Mr. Stern's favor, polls indicate that the vast majority of respondents remain vehemently convinced that Stern played a role in the deaths of model Anna Nicole Smith, 39, and her 20-year old son Daniel Wayne Smith.

"The lawyers are scrambling," says the source, who prefers to remain anonymous. "I think they figured people would change their minds after the [autopsy] report was released."

On Monday of this week, Dr.Joshua Perper, Medical Examiner for Broward County in Florida, released his autopsy findings. Dr. Perper determined that Ms. Smith died as a result of a drug overdose and that her death was an accident.

Based on one recent poll, 9 out of 10 respondents did not agree that her death was an accident.

"The blogs are saying differently," our source said. "A lot of people are wondering how the medical examiner could base his findings on testimony that came from people who would be the first ones to lie if they had anything to hide."

According to our source, the internet is filled with blogs, or message boards, where the public can post their opinions about the Anna Nicole Smith case. One such blog can be found at TMZ.com, an entertainment site that posts news related story about celebrities.

"Mr. Stern's folks have been monitoring the blogs for months now," our source said. "They've been trying really hard to change people minds [about Mr. Stern]. The problem has mushroomed and it’s beyond their capabilities to handle.

"I suppose because they're figuring he may be facing charges here [in the United States], they hired our agency. Part of our job will be to go on the blogs and try to get people to change their minds about their client. People's opinions can affect the jury pool and change the outcome of a trial."

Coincidentally, Mr. Stern's concerns about a tainted jury resulted in an unexpected delay in yesterday's inquest proceedings in the Bahamas. The delay came about because of Mr. Stern's wish to do away with the jury or at least have the opportunity to question the 7-person panel about their impartiality. Such a request is unprecedented. The inquest procedure is rooted in a Common Law tradition dating back almost 300 years.

577. For little Danielynns sake, people who know what is going on..please come forward for Danielynns sake. Daniel must have known that he was soon going to be 21 he could take care of Anna's affairs. He must have known that Howard wanted him to butt out. He surely knew that Howard wanted to get rid of him when Howard hung up on him and would not let him speak to his mother, just like Howard did when Anna's other relatives and friends called. Howard just would not take the messge. Howard is evil and he will go to hell and so will all the attonery's who are representing him. Just check out the attorneys who worked for O.J. 2 of them died of cancer and the others had great problems. Justice does happen.

Rule 3-120. Sexual Relations With Client

(A) For purposes of this rule, "sexual relations" means sexual intercourse or the touching of an intimate part of another person for the purpose of sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse.

(B) A member shall not:

(1) Require or demand sexual relations with a client incident to or as a condition of any professional representation; or

(2) Employ coercion, intimidation, or undue influence in entering into sexual relations with a client; or

(3) Continue representation of a client with whom the member has sexual relations if such sexual relations cause the member to perform legal services incompetently in violation of rule 3-110.

(C) Paragraph (B) shall not apply to sexual relations between members and their spouses or to ongoing consensual sexual relationships which predate the initiation of the lawyer-client relationship.

(D) Where a lawyer in a firm has sexual relations with a client but does not participate in the representation of that client, the lawyers in the firm shall not be subject to discipline under this rule solely because of the occurrence of such sexual relations.

Discussion:

Rule 3-120 is intended to prohibit sexual exploitation by a lawyer in the course of a professional representation. Often, based upon the nature of the underlying representation, a client exhibits great emotional vulnerability and dependence upon the advice and guidance of counsel. Attorneys owe the utmost duty of good faith and fidelity to clients. (See, e.g., Greenbaum v. State Bar (1976) 15 Cal.3d 893, 903 [126 Cal.Rptr. 785]; Alkow v. State Bar (1971) 3 Cal.3d 924, 935 [92 Cal.Rptr. 278]; Cutler v. State Bar (1969) 71 Cal.2d 241, 251 [78 Cal.Rptr 172]; Clancy v. State Bar (1969) 71 Cal.2d 140, 146 [77 Cal.Rptr. 657].) The relationship between an attorney and client is a fiduciary relationship of the very highest character and all dealings between an attorney and client that are beneficial to the attorney will be closely scrutinized with the utmost strictness for unfairness. (See, e.g., Giovanazzi v. State Bar (1980) 28 Cal.3d 465, 472 [169 Cal Rptr. 581]; Benson v. State Bar (1975) 13 Cal.3d 581, 586 [119 Cal.Rptr. 297]; Lee v. State Bar (1970) 2 Cal.3d 927, 939 [88 Cal.Rptr. 361]; Clancy v. State Bar (1969) 71 Cal.2d 140, 146 [77 Cal.Rptr. 657].) Where attorneys exercise undue influence over clients or take unfair advantage of clients, discipline is appropriate. (See, e.g., Magee v. State Bar (1962) 58 Cal.2d 423 [24 Cal.Rptr. 839]; Lantz v. State Bar (1931) 212 Cal. 213 [298 P. 497].) In all client matters, a member is advised to keep clients' interests paramount in the course of the member's representation.

For purposes of this rule, if the client is an organization, any individual overseeing the representation shall be deemed to be the client. (See rule 3-600.)

Although paragraph (C) excludes representation of certain clients from the scope of rule 3-120, such exclusion is not intended to preclude the applicability of other Rules of Professional Conduct, including rule 3-110. (Added by order of Supreme Court, operative September 14, 1992.)
