Celebrity Justice
Two Anna Nicole Judges Trade Places

Korda and SeidlandThe two Florida judges who decided Anna issues, including DNA testing and burial, have been given the ol' switcheroo.

Judge Larry Seidlin and Judge Larry Korda have both been reassigned. Judge Seidlin, who served as a probate judge, will move to the family law division. Judge Korda, who was in the family law division, will move to the probate court.

Did they get the boot? The Chief Judge of the Broward court sent an e-mail to all the judges, thanking Seidlin and Korda for "volunteering" to make the switch "during these difficult times."

Korda may be well-suited to handle the affairs of the dead. It's a mellow kind of assignment -- perfect for the judge who was busted earlier this month after allegedly smoking a doobie at a public park at two in the afternoon.

61. Believe me Stern and company may want to threaten law suits but they will never take any to trial... In a trial the truth would come out. So threaten all you want. Trust me....they will never let a law suit go to trial. Never!

62. Who cares if they are trading places - they have already done their
damages. Florida system - what a joke. The two Judges only
believed Howard and his loser Attorneys.

67. You know the only thing that might change public opinion of Howard K. Stern?

Give Dannielynn to her real father and quit holding her hostage. As long as he keeps fighting for this little girl (who's not his) for whatever dysfunctional reason he has, he will always be a villian in everyone's eyes. A lot of people want justice for the two deaths but I think most want justice for Dannielynn. That's the SLIMEBALL STERN most of us see. That little girl is not a piece of property he thinks he owns.

68. seidlin super looser, if he was a sharp judge, he would have put the baby in custody of a home health aide organization in the bahamas until the paternity was established this guy failed miserably what a nightmare watching him, now that baby is with fxxxxxxstern.

69. #58..THANKS FOR SAYING THAT!!! I would be able to change my mind a little but I would change it even more if he gave Dannilynn back to Larry with "no strings attached"

70. I think Judge Seidlin did a fine job - it was a tough case given the players in the courtroom but I have to express some disappointment during Howard K. Stern's testimony when the Judge Seidlin quizzed him on "Does Anna Nicole Smith always talk like that" and Stern smirked at first then he said yes!!

Judge Seidlin then asked about her demeanor and her conditioning and Stern responded ..."she was no more impaired than usual" - Judge Seidlin pounced on that put some pressure on Stern then backed away.

I think he should have dismissed the video statement since it is clear that she was not in the right frame of mind to speak the way she did, her words were slurred........showing signs of some intoxication and anger too, just the same there is no way for anyone to know for sure that she could have felt differently if she was more sober minded!!!

After all remember when Daniel died, she didn't blame her mother she yelled at Stern!!! The judge should have favored Vergie Arthur since like her or not she is still Anna's next of kin not Stern!!! The baby is too young of course to make a decision!!!

71. If Howard wants to sway back public opinion, Allow the DNA hearing to
go on DO NOT APPEAL IT, Also If Larry Proves to Be the biological
father proven through DNA Sterns should turn over the baby without a
fight.. If Howard fights custody Public opinion will spiral out of
control with him looking even more criminal... Howard should have
thought about public opinion before he started playing the game he
has been playing with a babies life and he certainly shoud have
thought about his legal career... Lets face it without Anna Howard
would have been a nothing and NOBODY would have even known who he was
with HIS ONE client.. Howard has NO one to blame but himself for the
situation he has himself in now.. Get a job Howard and REAL ONE..
Quit trying to fly HIGH off of Anna Nicole.. your free ride is over
be a man and face it.. You failed her personally, emotionally and
financially and you will continue to

74. I think Virgie Arthur has a better case for slander, defamation and libel against howie and barfie than he does!

In Seidlin's courtroom show, howie testified that Virgie said things that she didn't say. After Daniel's death, Virgie warned her daughter via the media (like Daniel,she wasn't allowed to talk to Anna) that she could be next. How eerie and prophetic! She did NOT accuse anyone of murder as howie testified. She was afraid for her daughter and now she is justifiably afraid for her granddaughter. She said in court "please help us" re Dannielynn.

75. Florida has always been a backward state. There have been several genterations of my family who were born and raised in that mean state. My children are grown and we left their when they were teenagers. They have thanked me for taking them out of that ignorant state. Crazy thing is they'll crucify somebody innocent but will forever help the bad guys. Maybe it's because Florida is somewhat of a port state. So many different people from all over the world. I do think you could get by with a hellva lot in that state. Judicial system is a joke.
