State A.G. to Howard K. - Don't Bitch Slap Me!

play audioCalifornia Attorney General Jerry Brown played defense on Tuesday after Howard K. Stern's court hearing in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case, insisting he didn't abuse his power by gunning for H.K.S.

Stern's lawyer, Steve Sadow, lashed out at Brown, essentially calling him a demagogue who was aching to win the next Governor's race, using Stern as his stepping stone.

Brown said there was nothing wrong with devoting a boatload of money and resources to investigating Stern and Anna's two docs. He didn't exactly answer our question -- Would he have devoted the same resources if Anna Nicole wasn't the "victim?"

4. TMZ (Yes you Harvey) needs to get off your high horses. You are a joke of a gossip organization. Run, don't walk, to the nearest bridge and jump off.

5. Seriously TMZ. You are maybe one notch above the Enquirer. Far be it from you to be grilling this distinguished gentlemen about how and why he prosecutes illicit activities within the state under his charge.

6. Howard figured if he could kill Anna and Danny while out of U.S. jurisdiction he could get away with it. He bribed authorities in the Bahamas to close Danny's case as an accidental overdose. Guys Danny's age generally are not prescribed Methadone and it's not a party drug like Heroin or the painkiller pills, so what the f@#$ was he doing with a lethal dose of Methadone in his system? Howard new that the law in the Bahamas recognized whoever was listed on the birth certificate as the legal father no matter what biology said,as an attorney he had this all figured out. He wanted to be Danny Lynn's father, continue the fight for the old mans millions and win then keep it all to himself. If Danny had lived he would have gotten everything. Everything fouled up when the photog fought him and beat him and became Danny Lynn's rightful father, now he can continue the fight and perhaps be worth millions. By the way, Howard hated Anna because of the many times she publicly humiliated him be making it clear she was not into him sexually and she used him like a personal servant. This was his revenge. Your going down Howard! RIP sweet Danny boy...you were too good for this crappy ass world!

7. Oh and by the way....wasn't TMZ the VERY FIRST organization to clandestinely obtain the illegal and unauthorized photo showing Rihanna beaten and bruised? Harvey, Have you no shame for victimizing that poor girl twice? Gawd you guys suck. Maybe you'll realize that 5 years from now when everyone has forgotten who you are and you're doing 15-second spots for Luthers Rib Shack.

9. Thank you for asking the questions you did. I think that good old Jerry Brown is grandstanding to get back in the public eye with the hope of obtaining a (previous) higher public office. I only wish you asked how much the A.G. office has spent on this case and if they have spent as much on a similar case when none of the people are famous and could garner public attention. Thank you. And FYI, I typically pass TMZ off as fluff but (as I mentioned before) thanks for going after this valid issue. Sincerely, LTM.

10. From what so many have said, howard was never Anna's lover. I bet he gets a thrill when he is referred to as such.

11. BROWN WANTS TO USE ANNA'S AND HOWARD'S TRAGEDY TO PROMOTE HIS CAREER.

BROWN IS JUST AN OPPORTUNIST.

12. I have always liked Jerry Brown. I hope he sends all three of these criminals to jail!

13. Brown mentions in the audio the photo of methadone in the fridge? Is he joking? Even IF the photo wasn't staged by the people who took it (who had broken into the home immediately after ANS died) so what? She was on methdone. And? So are lots of other people. It is one of the most widely studied drugs in the world and it took NO PART in her death. If ANS at any point took methadone pills, and she was at a addict's therapeutic dose of say, 150 mgs. per day that would be 5400 pills per year, for ONE of her medications. That is not even including the other prescriptions she was on.
This case is nonsense and a witch hunt. Do we start putting grandpa in jail because grandma was taking 20,000 pills a year and was addicted to some of them? This is all about Jerry Brown running for Governor and favors being done. Very sad.

14. TMZ has this sick edge to it which keeps me from coming here more often. The Attorney General is doing his job. Thank goodness someone had the sense to legally respond to the very bizarre death of Anna (not to mention her son, too). TMZ probably attempts to be provocative, but, in reality there is an immaturity and deviance to the way you write many of your stories on this website and on the TV TMZ, too. It isn't cute or funny when you blatantly ridicule people for your own sick delight, at times. Anyway, I haven't checked out this website for a couple of weeks and see I should have waited a couple of weeks longer.

15. #9- "From what so many have said, howard was never Anna's lover". Umm, yeah, except Anna? You can't wrap your mind around reality, can you? Just like comment #4-"distinguished gentlemen", Jerry Brown? Are you joking? LOL!!! You don't live in Cali, do you? Talk about scandals. Mr. Backdoor Brown is THE master.
You people...all of you Virgie Arthur lovers. Love a woman who ABUSED her own kids, doesn't publicly disavow her ex-husband who RAPED her own sister. A woman who had sex with her own step brother and had a child with him, who continues to try and make money off of her dead daughter. I could go on and on...THIS is the woman you ADMIRE? I guess it's no wonder after reading the things you write. This isn't over, not by a long shot.
