Anna Speaks From the Grave

TMZ has learned Anna Nicole Smith will have her story told at the inquest in the death of her son, Daniel.

We're told one of the 40 scheduled witnesses on the witness list is not a person at all. The item reads: Anna Nicole Smith's statement to police. The statement she gave following the death of her son could be a riveting moment.

1036. If you really love someone and are truly concerned for them, if they were ill, wouldn't you insist and take no for an answer -even if it meant carrying them to the car to get them to the hospital. My husband did that when I was young because I was so dehydrated from the flu.
He carried me to the car despite my protests that I didn't want go to the hospital. I'm now glad he did. He did not let me sleep in while he went to a boat, even if he didn't know I was dying-he wouldn't leave me, even in someone else's care. He would have prioritzed and a boat wouldn't even be on his life of important things when someone he truly loved is sick. Yesterday HKS didn't bother showing up for the first day of the inquest. Where was he this time? Out parasaililng-surfing maybe. A methodical manipulator - and not even a good one. Everything comes full circle. Everybody is judged by their actions - whether in this life or the next. Enablers - you will pay. Don't even insult the public by trying to tell us "he loved her" - what a bunch of crap. And don't even think we are buying the nonsense put out by people hired to try and change perceptions of HKS. It won't work. His conduct speaks volumes.

1038. Bad part of a polygraph is that pathological liars, sociopaths, and people who believe their own lies pass the test. It's a good tool yet not 100% accurate.

He used to love the limelight, well lurking in the shadows holding pink purses and coats.
Now he does not come out.
What is wrong Howard?

DOESN"T MATTER. Stern testified under oath in Florida that Anna had not done methadone in five months.

He committed perjury.

1048. Hey everyone read this:

1024. 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.






The ONLY PEOPLE on these blogs who are in SUPPORT of Howard K. Stern are those that Stern's lawyers have hired in a DESPERATE attempt to sway public opinion.


They are the only ones who will benefit

=================================================================

I would venture a guess that NONE of the attorneys in this case are getting paid. In many high profile cases (such as this one), the attorneys work for free, simply for the publicity it generates. Publicity = future clients. Future clients = $$$$. Therefore, Howard, Virgie and Larry (probably) don't need money to pay for all these high priced lawyers.
