I just returned to Washington from Dallas and thought it was time to get back to blogging, to get back in the saddle again, so to speak. In celebrity related criminal defense news, three years ago, in 2007, in Hollywood, Florida, Anna Nicole Smith went to sleep forever. If the people around her had taken care of her properly, conducted an intervention for her and gotten her drug treatment and support, might she be alive today and nurturing for her little girl? I really feel so sorry for her and her son who had died also earlier (I cannot remeber the exact circumstances of her son’s death but it was definately a tragedy as well). As an aside if you require a competent Dallas criminal defense lawyer then I can certainly suggest this one, who also does DUI and/or DWI cases in the Dallas area as well. All in all, the Smith case has always reminded me of something coming out of Washington with all of the mystery, intrigue and big names involved overall.
The three trying to explain their actions are Smith’s partner and lawyer Howard K. Stern, her physician Sandeep Kapoor, and her psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich. The three are charged in the criminal defense case with providing the former Playboy model with extreme amounts of prescription drugs.If you need a top quality Washington criminal defense lawyer then this particular lawyer may be a right fit for you if you are in Washington state.
In that time before her death, she made public appearances where she sounded and acted like a drugged-out addict right off the street. What were the people around her thinking?
The defense attorneys are trying to argue the accused were only trying to help Anna Nicole. Could they really have been that ignorant?
Just got back from the superb city of Baltimore in Maryland and wanted to post this article: According to reports one of the stars of season seven of American Idol was killed in a hit and run accident in New Jersey.
The American Idol star 25 year old Alexis Cohen a resident of Allentown Pennsylvania was part of a hit and run accident near Seaside Heights at the Jersey Shore which caused fatal personal injury. The driver who fled the scene of the accident was later arrested and charged with second degree manslaughter and has been identified as Daniel Bark age 23 a resident of Toms River. Cohen is best remembered from season seven of the show American Idol for an emotional outburst directed at judge Simon Cowell. As an aside if you happen to need a superlative Baltimore injury lawyer then may I suggest the Law offices of one Marc Atas. He is perhaps all in all the top personal injury lawyer there, in my opinion and he also does both accident and workers comp related cases over in the Baltimore area. According to reports Superior Court Judge Wendell E. Daniels stated he expects there will be additional charges filed against Bark, including aggravated manslaughter, death by auto and eluding. Along with the new charges bail could be set at $150,000 in addition to the $35,000 dollars bail that is currently keeping Bark in jail. Bark is set to appear in an Ocean County court and if convicted, he will face up to at least 15 years in prison. he had better get himself a good attorney.
Lilly Allen from the movie you might have heard of entitled ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ ( I really love that name for a film) has announced she designing jewelry for woman ages fourteen to forty years old and the line will be launched in September. This is refreshing. I mean, in a day and age when so many celebrities choose plastic surgery options such as breast enlargement or augmentation in order to basically decorate themselves or otherwise draw attention to themselves, the jewelry angle is really sort of cool overall. All in all, the singer stated that the jewelry line is one that is filled with colorful images of flamingos, flowers, fruits, traffic signs and smiling faces. The smiling faces will be in silver or in gold and each piece of jewelry Allen designs she said reflects her own style and creativity. Personally, I really like the copper as well silver jewelry plus even some cool cufflinks. What a jewelry designer she really is, I mean wow. Having said that, thought, it should be noted for the record that i think that breast enlargement, implants and of course breast reconstruction can be pretty nice also.
There is no official date when the Lily Allen line of whimsical jewelry will appear in stores, although the campaign for the launch of the jewelry is set for September. Allen age 24 has also announced that she will be the new face that will be promoting Karl Lagerfeld’s autumn and winter handbag collection. Allen is also scheduled to appear with singer and actor David Cassidy in Ireland at the Flatlake Festival.
Just got back from Washington state and what a great trip. According to reports the daughter of Billy Bob Thornton is out of jail on $279,000 bail after being arrested on alleged murder charges, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter in the death of a young child. Thornton’s daughter 29 year old Amanda Brumfield was arrested in May when the authorities believed her story had some flaws in it in the death of a one year old girl that she was babysitting for when the child died in October, causing fatal personal injury in the sad and tragic case. I am not sure if this case is an accident, we will see.
The medical examiner’s office stated they suspect the baby died as a result of homicide, and according to the authorities the child had what appear to be head injuries which may have caused the aforementioned lethal personal injury. All in all, she may need some good attorneys for this case.
According to Brumfield she stated the child received the head injury from falling in her playpen, although investigators and the medical examiner are alleging that the child died as a result of homicide, according to court documents. As an aside if you are in either St. Louis or other parts of Missouri and you require a top Washington accident lawyer then you may want to look at this winning legal group. They also do auto, car and trucking accident related cases as well as the aforementioned regular accident cases overall. Now back to the main story at hand: Billy Bob Thornton has appeared in many films including Armagedden, SlingBlade, Monster’s Ball and Bandits. Speaking of celebrities, I have noticed a trend lately of some actors purchasing Armored Cars, bullet proof cars and other types of armored vehicles. By the way if you find that you need an Armored Lexus, an Armored mercedes, or other related types of armored cars and Custom armored vehicles then may I suggest Execarmor.
TMZ is reporting that Alabama State Trooper in Huntsville handcuffed a Former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger. Walter Jones was the black power ranger Zack Taylor. Mr. Jones was arrested for DUI on Sunday night in Huntsville, Alabama. Mr. Jones was written out of the power ranger series midway through the second season. This is apparently due to disagreements over wages and fees. Incidentally if you live in the Midwest and could use a top drawer Chicago dui lawyer then I humbly recommend Mathew Miller. He is the best Chicago dui lawyer around. Also a Baltimore County Republican Central Committee chairman called for the resignation of County Councilman Sam Moxley. Sam Moxely is a four-term Democrat that was arrested on DUI charges in the City of Baltimore. Moxley is facing his second DUI offense in four years. Moxley is a 50 year old man; Mr. Moxley was involved in a four-car accident about 1:20 a.m. Friday on West Franklin Street at North Pulaski Street. Mr. Moxley failed a field sobriety test and was taken into custody. He later refused a Blood Alcohol Breathalyzer test.
Just in town doing the tote thing. In a public statement in Bar Harbor Maine actor Richard Dreyfuss stated that America is short changing children by not teaching children civics from kindergarten through their senior year in school. Man, he wants to teach them while they are still in the diaper.
Dreyfuss a Hollywood actor and self proclaimed full time activist stated, that each generation needs to be taught what the country stands for and schools and students need the tools and passion to lead the country. The actor known for movies like Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind believes the country is falling short in their education of children and troubled teens in civics, and that children are not being prepared to become leaders and participants in the political system. I myself have tried to be active in alternative boarding schools. Speaking of kids, if you need pink, leather or tote diaper bags then I can definately suggest this particulr resource and they also have the famed messenger diaper bags and backpacks too, but the tote diaper bags are possibly the most popular right now.
In addition, in the future I might consider becoming involved in certain therapeutic boarding schools where troubled teens can go for some sort of relevent treatment.
Dreyfuss has taken it as a mission to speak out urging that civics education be taught to children through each year of their schooling in his public speech to the Maine State Bar Association.
I just returned from the big town of Dallas and it is time to give you the scoop on everything that is going on around town: Here is some more bizarre news from the strange world of Holly-weird (albeit with an English sort of twist): According to reports Lindsay Lohan is apparently wanted for questioning by Scotland Yard in a possible criminal probe of the United Kingdom following the unexplained disappearance of a half million dollars worth of jewelry that was part of a photo shoot. Well, there goes her credit rating, I suppose. Wow you know she is never in the news these days, lol. In any event the Investigators are searching for her (to interview her) after the jewelry was used in a photography session shoot for Elle Magazine with the actress. Maybe if she knew her credit rating or score she would not be in this situation. As an aside if you live in the Dallas area and need a first flank Dallas criminal defense lawyer then I can suggest this particular firm very highly as they are really good. They can also help you with various types of DUI as well as DWI in addition to the criminal defense lawyer stuff and as mentioned earlier they are based in Dallas, Texas and so if you are there check out your score. Following that said session, the jeweler in question apparently determined that the jewelry was gone. While she has often been known to keep her attorney busy, this (if true) is one for the books. All in all, the representatives for the magazine have stated they have no knowledge where the missing jewelry might be. It is also reported that Lohan’s representatives (and her lawyer?) have not responded to the jeweler or to the magazine editors. At this point in time, it is not clear if the missing items were copper or even silver jewelry. For that matter, it could have been unique or even artisan jewelry.
As it stands now, it should be said that Scotland Yard has made pretty clear that Lohan is only wanted for questioning, and that there are several different suspects whom they are looking at. Still, she will possibly want to get a criminal defense lawyer, I would think. This is not the first incident in which Lohan has been involved with missing items, according to reports. For example, the famous designer Louis Vitton will not work with her. After a particular incident where samples of clothing were used for a photo shoot that disappeared, Lohan according to a stylist’s assistant placed them in her bag several times. The assistant repeatedly took them out and at the end of the shoot Lohan walked out with them in the possible criminal incident. Just make sure to check out that credit rating you know.
In another sign of the rather troubled economic times that we live in, actor Stephen Baldwin’s foreclosed house near New York City will be publicly auctioned.
All in all, he bought the house for $515,000 and it is about 1.4-acres in size. It is located in Rockland County (out in the suburbs of the city) and was purchased back in 1997, back when his acting career was somewhat hotter. He tried to sell the house several years ago to no avail. The credit crunch has made refinancing quite difficult. Sadly for them, county court records confirm that he and his wife defaulted on almost a million dollars in payments to their mortgage holder. That mortgage holder in question is the Bankers Trust Company (isn’t that the name of all of them?). The bank auction is set to begin on June 24. They might have offered some sort of credit counseling first. A spokesperson for the actor could not be reached at this time. The actor has starred in movies such as the comedy “Bio-Dome” with Pauly Shore, and the mob drama “The Usual Suspects” starring Kevin Spacey as a Hungarian gangster. More recently, he has appeared on reality tv programs like “The Celebrity Apprentice” starring Donald Trump and “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” As if this little news story, symbolic as it may be, is not a bad enouph economic and housing indicator, it was recently reported that de-facto “bank ownership” is at an all-time high and owner equity is at an all-time low.
At the end of the quarter one 2009, the equity portion in houses was only 41.4% of their complete value. To put this another way, the mortgages outstanding on all houses in the nation were 58.6% of their complete value. A very troubling statistic indeed. it seems to me that the actor could benefit from a little credit counseling After all, sometimes something as simple as debt consolidation can help to solve a problem such as this.
According to various news sources as diverse as the new York daily news and the Catwalk Queen, an apology by bratpacker actor Kiefer Sutherland may be enouph to keep him out of any criminal trouble at least untill the next time he gets in trouble.
In addition, it also appears to be helping out his acting career. in the wake of his apology, Hollywood filmmaker Joel Schumacher has apparently made up his mind to let Kiefer stay in his film. According to the respected ‘new York Daily News’ online newspaper, an insider confideded that the sometimes troubled actor is very glad to have kept his job and that he now wants to stay out of trouble for good. The timing of this is probably no accident and his lawyer was apparently a big help in brokering a deal. Try to keep him away from a motorcycle for that matter.
In addition, the victim in question probably appreciates whatever private deal he has made with the star, which will probably lead to the charges being dropped when they go to court on the summer solstace of June 22. For his part, he knows the film is not an integral lynchpin for his career, but having to broker a settlement to keep from violating his probation on an auto related Drunk driving offense is a major distraction. Will it be rehab time soon? The clock is ticking. By the way if you have been involved in an accident and need a superb Houston accident lawyer then may I suggest these guys. They are among the most respected accident lawyer you can find in all of Houston and also do auto as well.
All in all, Kiefer has had a bumpy personal life at times. He married Kelly Win in 1996 but they separated several years later. He filed for divorce in 2004 and it was finalised in 2008.
In celebrity legal and criminal related news, Kiefer Sutherland’s defense Attorney, Michael C. Miller, has recently said that the 24 year old television star is not really to blame for (supposedly) head-butting fashion designer Jack McCollough on May fourth at an after-party, according to a number of publishes media reports, including the Associated press online news network.
The attorney for the Canadian born but Los Angeles based star said: “the investigation being conducted by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and the NYPD will confirm that Kiefer…(is exonerated)” The son of noted actor Donald Sutherland, Kiefer has also appeared in a number of feature films such as
‘A Few Good Men’as well as ‘Young Guns’. However, he is possibly best known for his starring role on the hit television show ‘24′ For trivia fans, he is apart of the famous (and sometimes infamous) ‘brat packer’ group of holloywood stars like Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr., Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Charlie Sheen and Emelio Estevez.
By the way if you are yourself in need a great Los Angeles criminal defense attorney then may I strongly suggest the Law Offices of Ramiro J. Lluis as he is basically one of the top Los Angeles criminal defense attorney that you will find in southern California.
All in all, this is certainly not the star’s first run-in with the law but he is usually more associated with the Los Angeles criminal courts rather than New York City.
