Anna Nicole Judge -- Defendant in Greed Suit

Anna Nicole SmithThe judge who cried a river during the hearing over Anna Nicole Smith's burial is now being sued for allegedly swindling an old lady.

83-year-old Barbara Kasler just filed suit, claiming Judge Larry Seidlin -- one of her neighbors -- took advantage of her poor health for his family's personal gain. Seidlin was cleared in a criminal elder abuse investigation but now the old lady is mounting a civil attack.

Among the allegations:

-- Seidlin's wife Belinda talked Kasler into selling the Seidlins a $600,000 condo for half the price.

-- Belinda convinced Kasler to sell her a parcel of land worth $50,000 for only 10 bucks.

-- Kasler wrote the Seidlins over $500,000 worth of checks, including $130,000 to help pay off their mortgage, $100,000 to buy a new house in Pennsylvania and $54,260 for their daughter's tuition.

The lawsuit claims Seidlin was licking his chops after finding out the old lady was loaded. The good judge has denied all the allegations.

31. The guy is a disgrace to his profession! I believe he is guilty of everything stated...He made a complete fool of himself at the Anna Nicole trial...He is all about fame and money... The less I see, or hear of him, the better...

IMO

32. How stupid do you have to be to get 'talked into' selling any land for 10 bucks? That old woman should just be put out of her misery, no one should be allowed to live if they're that dumb.

34. I believe our legal system is a joke and truly based on "the good old boys club". Law enforcemment and the legal system is a way to extort money from the little guy who don't know laws or how to cut deals with the DA. We pay for the elite legal system and support dirty cops, judges, lawyers etc... We are liars and thieves and criminals and THEY are honest, clean, sober, They just have NOT gotten caught yet, every person on this planet has done something questionable in their life BUT these folks get to judge and punish you. We are a truly sick trip here in the USA. Rape a child and spend a year in jail, smoke a joint and spend 5 years in jail. WHO Watches the watchers OR Abolute power, corupts absolutely

35. I've always felt that there is something wrong with this judge. Not just because of this or the Anna Nicole Trial. There's just something not quite 'right' with this guy. I think someone needs to look into his past; do some research, etc., and disbar him if necessary.

37. Oye Vey! What do you expect of someone named "Seidlin." Typical of his TYPE. So typical. Greedy bastard.

39. Well, going by his camera seeking behavior during the ANS hearings, can anyone really say that they are suprised by these allegations?
Funny how there has been this influx of judges using the bench to vault their careers (and by career, I'm not refering to their legal ones, more their show biz ones!). For example, if it hadn't been for similar behavior by the original CA judge, the 9th Cirucit would not have to be hearing arguments in a 10 year old ANS estate claim!
Sigh. What is it about this cast of characters that reeks of slimyness?
