706. Judge to Rita Cosby -- Something Fishy

A judge has ruled that there's a lot of evidence that former MSNBC anchor turned author Rita Cosby crossed the line in writing her tell-all book about Anna Nicole Smith.

Howard K. Stern is suing Cosby, claiming she defamed him in the book by saying there are witnesses -- two nannies -- who say Anna Nicole had a video of Stern and Larry Birkhead having sex.

A federal judge in the Southern District of New York issued an order today in the wake of Stern's allegation that Cosby "sought to tamper with two witnesses by offering to pay them thousands of dollars for their testimony." The judge allowed Stern to probe the allegation, concluding he has "presented substantial -- indeed troubling -- evidence that Cosby has sought to improperly influence witnesses..."

You didn't finish your post---Rita's statement.........Time will tell about the Rita situation, I guess. I find it interesting that Rita is not telling her side and wonder if when she does, this will take a whole different turn.

I wonder also if Linolcn Bain has dug up that taped interview with Don CLark from May---Lincolnd said he recorded it and it will PROVE the nannies never spoke about a sex tape.....he has had maybe a month since he made that statement and still no interview tape------nothing to do with Rita really.....but Lincoln is also on tape telling Rita that Nadine saw Anna watching the tape.......I believe there is much more to this and Rita's silence intrigues me.

The judge also said (according to Art Harris site) which I don't usually read, that the judge wants the Rita thing dealt with quickly so that NEITHER side can tamper with witnesses.....here is the quote..."""""".In effect, Judge Chin’s motion orders that depositions be taken as fast as possible to preserve evidence and prevent any possible witness tampering by either party in the future.""""""" The Rita thing interests me only because everyone involved in it has been caught lying on tape----guess the judge will settle it.

I would love Lincoln Bain to "dig up" that interview with Don Clark...and I'd love to hear his explanation of the taped interview he gave Rita where he clearly says Nadine saw Anna watching the tape---------I am sure in this day and age it won't be difficult to prove if a tape was "doctored" or not---as Lincoln alleges--lol

I think I'm wrong on that being a quote from hte judge......that seems to be Harris giving his opinion

As an original LB supporter, I DO NOT feel that Mrs. Arthur continues in this saga for the purpose of money (not even with O'Quinn as her attorney). One has to be a mother and/or grandmother to comprehend the foundation upon which she now continues to approach the deaths of her first grandchild and her only daughter.

As a business professional, I've observed throughout the years MANY women estranged from their mothers, i.e. mother-daughter estrangement from wealthy, middle income, and poor families for less reason than drugs, physical, or sexual abuse. Had Anna Nicole lived (as she was meeting another psychological milestone or seven-year cycle along with having a second child) she would have healed her estrangement with her mother no matter how her personal lawyer OR the haters of Mrs. Arthur perceive that drugged and staged interview which appeared on the infamous Entertainmet Tonight show.

Dr. Perper (own words) stated more than once in public interviews that Anna Nicole Smith would have lived HAD her inner circle (she was surrounded 24/7 by a lawyer and a psychiatrist the last five months of her life) taken her to the hospital and placed under PROFESSIONAL medical care she would be ALIVE today. What the greater public has not comprehended since hearing of her death is -- WHY NOT???? I think Mrs. Arthur is continuing to say with her actions -- WHY NOT????

Some of us have great compassion for Stern in that he is the sole creator of every action and decision he has made since the death of Daniel Wayne Smith and it appears that is, basically, only appreciated by his attorneys. Had he not gone on Entertainment Tonight and LKL with half-truths, lies, and held that baby captive and separated from her biological father, the greater public would have a much different perception of him. Most, however, did see him participate in the Anna Nicole Show and scratched their heads with wonder that a professional lawyer could degrade himself as he did on that show so the rest of the story has only added fuel to the burning embers of original perception.

It's time for the Daniel Wayne Smith Inquest to be concluded and everyone involved in the lives of these two young people to look deep within their souls as to their individual responsibility and how their inappropriate and/or non-actions relate to the interpersonal relationships they experienced with both child and mother.

If Daniel Wayne Smith was involved in the use of pharmaceutical and/or illegal drugs, I think even less of Stern and Birkhead for not having taken the "bull by the horns" and gotten him professional counseling long ago and, therefore, do not find anything loving or heroic of either of their actions.

Every day I pray for her daughter (along with every other child in the world) that G-d provide her with the faith, hope, and strength to endure the future ahead until she can break free from the entire mess!

711. ** STERN BOUGTH TONS OF DRUGS ON HIS NAME TO PUSH DOWN ON POOR
ANNA'S THROAT DAILY, 24 PILLS EVERY 4 HRS.
** STERN WAS COMMON DENOMINATOR IN BOTH DEATHS ANNA AND DANIEL.
** STERN WAS LAST PERSON TO HELP ANNA TO THE BATHROOM, SHE PROBABLY
WOKE UP THIRSTY AND STIL DRUGGED SO STERN GAVE HER A LETHAL
DRINK.
** STERN THEN TUCKED ANNA NICE AND TIGHT IN THE CONFORTER THEN
GAVE
HER ONE MORE FATAL DRINK IN THE 'BABY BOTTLE' only way she
could drink it now.
** ANNA MOST LIKELY WAS SO WEAK AND DRUGGED DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE,
SHE KNEW SHE WAS DYING ANYWAY.
** ANNA MOST LIKE WAS ALREADY DEAD WHEN NERVOUS, PANICKING STERN
WENT DOWN TO THE LOBBY TO ASK MOE'S WIFE TO SIT WITH ANNA.
** MOE'S WIFE WAS TOLD BY STERN NOT TO DISTURBED ANNA CAUSE SHE
WAS ASLEEP, SO MOE'S WIFE JUST SAT THERE WITH THE DEAD BODY.
** MEANWHILE STERN WENT TO GET THE BOAT AND CHANGE OWNERSHIP TO HIS
NAME. STERN GOT FAR AWAY FROM THE CRIME SCENE TO APPEAR
INNOCENT.

INNOCENT PEOPLE DON'T ACT LIKE THIS MURDERER! SAFELY TO BELIEVE
THESE TWO DEATHS WERE PRE MEDITATED AND PLANNED CAREFULLY FOR A LONG
TIME.

714. Why doesn't anyone know if the police recovered Daniel's belonging from California. He must have had a computer too. Where is it? You people who know what Howard did should report it so he can be Jailed. Why haven't you gotten him arrested yet. It is illegal for you to know about a crime and not report it.

Posted at 10:01PM on Nov 8th 2007 by When is Daniel's inquest now??

715. Larry is a good father. He loves Dannylynn. Why should Vergie want to take her away?? For money?? Larry is the biological father. Vergie failed in raising Anna. Anna hated Vergie, she said so on TV for the whole world to hear. Whether she was on drugs or not you don't say this about a mother unless you really, really hate her. Anna did not want Vergie to ever touch Dannylynn. Vergie should quit trying to make money off her dead daughter and live her own life now.

This is well written and underscores my thoughts on this whole unfortunate mess. While I did not write this, I agree on every point this writer has made.


Dink-

I appreciate your thoughtful comments. It has been weeks since Bain promised the tapes. Guess he needed time to do some editing. I wouldn't trust the tapes now without sending them to the FBI to see if they have been doctored. Too much time has passed. I assume they will either disappear or be edited as I do believe that the originals will put Bain in a bad light.

Hi Huh?~~ Thanks

I'm with ya on the tape of the May conversation with Don Clark......that tape would HELP Bain and he can't "dig it up"? I wonder if he said that in anger and it just slipped? Because as much as he enjoyed playing all these tpaes, I can't believe the one that would most help him hasn't been "found".

I also wonder how he will explain the taped conversation with Rita---where he clearly says onf the nannies saw Anna watching the sex tape----I have a hunch Rita will be able to "dig that up" for court--and that it will be aunthenticated beforehand.

I also can't figure out why, if Liz is a credible attorney, she is allowing a radio jock to speak for her clients??? That seems odd to me....you'd think she would tell her clients to be quiet and not anyone else (that is not even an attorney) to speak for them...ESPECIALLY the very person that interviewed them months ago and got toally different stories--lol Guess time will tell......but you couldnt make this stuff up!!!!

719. I think Howard K. Stern will be found negligent in this case. He sure was the one who would benefit from all this tragedy.

720. Marily Monroe and Elvis Presely had very simliar experiences as Anna Nicole did. They had people around them who could not save them. Brittney will die soon too, if she continues. Overdoses eventually catch up and sooner or later in an overdose it will be too late.

Posted at 2:20AM on Nov 15th 2007 by Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley would still be alive today also if they were not drug addicts like Anna was
