They have never produced a will. They have never filed a will for probate in any jurisdiction, either Florida, California or the Bahamas. Now how can he be, which is the basis of their attempt to argue, having anything to do with this body? They say he's an executor. You are not an executor or a personal representative until a court appoints you, and the way you do that, your honour, is you present a will. And they have refused to present a will." 10.

Anna Nicole Smith's body being brought to medical examiner's office STORYLINE: There were fireworks in a Florida courtroom on Thursday during a hearing about the custody of the remains of Anna Nicole Smith. Smith died on February 8 after collapsing at a Florida hotel. She was the widow of Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, whom she married in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. She had been fighting his family over his fortune since his death in 1995. It seems nearly everyone with links to Smith was trying to be heard at the Fort Lauderdale hearing on Thursday. The circuit judge presiding over the matter will determine who gets custody of her remains. Judge Larry Seidlin said his overriding concern was "what's in the best interest of the child," Smith's five month old daughter Dannielynn. Smith's body has been at the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office since she died. The judge says it will stay there until he makes his ruling. Smith's longtime companion, Howard K. Stern, and her estranged mother, Vergie Arthur, each hope to win control of the body. Stern wants to bury Smith in the Bahamas. Her mother wants her buried in Texas. Photographer Larry Birkhead, who claims to have fathered the former centrefold's baby daughter, hopes DNA will prove his case. Birkhead simply wants to prove he is the father of Dannielynn, who potentially could inherit millions. Prince Frederic von Anhalt, the husband of the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, has also said he had a decade-long affair with Smith and may also be the father. He said he plans to file a paternity challenge in court and wants a DNA test.

INTERVIEW CONCLUDES: David Susskind 50:55 Some of the people that have appeared in the various stories on the place that are well known celebrities are indeed quite sick, in answer to your question. All right. However, it may not have all been born their problems with Plato's retreat. Right? Have you known any people to be traumatized to be affected badly, and, you know, really suffered side effects from their experiences there. Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 51:20 I don't think the effects last very long. But I have interviewed couples who have gone out of their very hurt. For example, a man in this usually happens the man takes the wife and he may do certain things, he may force her to get undressed, he may put pressure on her and maybe not force that's enough. And the wife will feel extremely uncomfortable being exposed, she will see things in a husband she didn't expect certain court coercion, maybe she didn't expect. But that there's this reverse of that coin. I talked to another couple specifically about how they felt watching each other make love of tight. I saw I've talked to a woman who saw has been make love in the Jacuzzi for the first time. First time she'd ever seen you make love with any woman. And she was shocked. She turned her eyes. She wanted to get out of that place. She wanted to scream. And yet, I interviewed the husband a week later. And I said how has it affected her? And he said, Well, she hated it when she saw it. But she told me that she masturbated in her tub, thinking of that fantasy two days later. So the point is, you cannot measure the effect immediately. Mary Levinson 52:33 Another thing that they've done is they've communicated their fears and their their joys and their fantasies. They've they've communicated their own reactions, which is a beautiful, helpful thing Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 52:45 We try to screen people David Susskind 52:47 they also destroyed a privacy of commitment and a privacy of oneness. Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 52:55 They don't have that anyway. There is no try they go. But everybody's cheating and running around. David Susskind 53:02 not everybody. I mean, don't don't make those sweeping a lot of cheat. Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 53:07 Well, I said the majority of people I don't want to go to 92% the majority. David Susskind 53:11 Once you've been into your swing movement, whether it Plato's retreat or elsewhere, can you return to the normal life? I mean, do people drop? You said they drop out for a year or so but they come back? Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 53:23 Of course they do why should they David Susskind 53:26 How have their lives how are your lives changed? Bonnie & Jack Swingers Couple 53:28 We dropped out for three years, three or four years. And then we came back on first and we started again, Westwood. Plato's meeting is great. It's really great. When we first went down there. I was told a little bit about it what it was going to be like. And I had had these thoughts in my own mind that reservation reservations, I was not going to get undressed. I was not going to fool around. Nothing Just go down and look and I went and that half an hour after I was there just listening to the music and the atmosphere and the people I just people make the members make the club doesn't really make him come on, let's go take her clothes off. And let's go in the Whirlpool, in the swimming pool and so on and just was really wonderful. David Susskind 54:20 At Plato's there is loved making every I should stop that. There was no sexual intercourse every way you look right? Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 54:28 Not really. You might see a couple in the Whirlpool, in a close encounter something what the usual thing is this certain areas, I'd say 99% of any sex that goes on at Plato's is either in the mat room which is a closed or the private rooms in the back. I mean there's we have liquidity or we have areas Bonnie & Jack Swingers Couple 54:44 we onlh go to private rooms Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 54:44 one of the interesting things about Plato's we talked about satisfies people if you're an exhibitionist, you can certainly get off the interview a voyeur So it satisfies Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 54:53 areas with couches and everything where people could sit fully dressed out of the way by the disco floor and just watch The whole place has one big scope. And it's just very just sitting there and nobody bothers anybody. That's why Oh, is that a place where you have this many people coming in a premises where there's not one bouncer on these premises? You show me a disco, a bar anything without any bounces? We don't have one. We never fight. They're too tired to fight. Not too tired to fight. There's no reason to fight. I always David Susskind 55:23 you are about to hear about franchises, this thing of yours. And other cities, right? Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 55:29 Yes we are where Detroit we're opening up in Detroit, Los Angeles, that Florida and we're negotiating also New Jersey right now. David Susskind 55:38 What do you think was the response? What do you guess will be you were kind of neutral journalistic observer Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 55:45 doesn't have itself sex sells here. It should sell other places. I can't imagine why not? David Susskind 55:50 Well, New York has a freer permissive Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 55:56 No it doesn't Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 55:56 In a sense it does. But I think the sample of people I mean, they're 8 million people David Susskind 56:00 Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You're going to have your work cut out for you Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 56:04 why would we have our work cut out? David Susskind 56:04 in Fort Lauderdale florida. you ever been there. Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 56:06 Yes. But why would I David Susskind 56:08 It's a very conservative community and all the Easter vacation time when 1000s Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 56:14 Who do you think comes down to Plato's Plato's friends are very conservative, but they calm down. We got people from Fort Lauderdale. We got people from California. We got people from Paris, France coming to Plato's they fly in Bonnie & Jack Swingers Couple 56:26 7-10 Couples are from out of town David Susskind 56:29 what would you say we have a minute left? What would you say to the reaction that a lot of people will have? Well, that's symptomatic of immorality. Today, Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 56:40 if you look for degradation, and depersonalization, in morale, if you look for it, you'll find it a Plato's, if you don't look for it, you won't. David, you would see that there. I didn't, I saw a, I think an anthropological phenomenon. And and I wrote about it as such, without any moral judgment David Susskind 56:58 make a moral judgment. Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 57:03 I don't think it's immoral Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 57:06 With the eighth wonder of the world. Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 57:09 I think it's different. Larry Levinson Owner Plato's Retreat 57:10 This is the biggest thing I hit New York City since the World's Fair. And it is true. I'm not just saying this, it really is, please, it's not really day by hour. We have a song out there as we treat that's number one in the country right now played on Philip Nobile - New York Magazine Syndicated Columnist 57:24 Would you amment your judgment that Plato's is sick after meeting these two couples. David Susskind 57:28 Well Mary Levinson 57:31 even without that would you allow us David Susskind 57:32 to me in my mind's eye, it's quite sick, Mary Levinson 57:36 would you would you still allow us the right to behave and swing David Susskind 57:41 Yes go back tonight and have a good time. Mary Levinson 57:45 Thank you. David Susskind 57:46 I Thank you very much for coming. And if you stick around, we have more program.

"Once he's on the ground, Lordi starts to punch John on the left side repeatedly on his face, on his head, but that's not it. After John gets knocked out, unconscious, Nicholas Lordi stands up, straddles John and starts throwing haymakers down at his face, at his head again repeatedly."</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>According to an arrest report, police responded to the Food Plus grocery store, located at 5501 Broadway, on Nov. 1, 2019, regarding a "trespassing incident."

Nicholas Lordi at no time engaged in any criminal behavior and was cleared of criminal charges after a full and thorough investigation by the Office of the State Attorney. There were issues that witnesses for the "alleged victim" had been either withholding or editing video tapes, and it is unfortunate that they will now attempt to capitalize on a matter that never occurred.

Stern, surrounded by police, walking out of courthouse during hearing break STORYLINE Anna Nicole Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur visited the medical examiner's office on Wednesday where her daughter's body has been held under police guard. Arthur, and Smith's boyfriend Howard K. Stern, made the morgue visit during a lunchtime break from the Florida court hearing that will determine who gets custody of the late 39-year olds body. For the second day in a row, Stern and Arthur appeared before circuit judge Larry Seidlin in Fort Lauderdale, each hoping to convince him that they should be responsible for the burial of the former Playboy model's remains. The legal manoeuvring has been going on for about a week, and it was almost two weeks since Smith died on 8 February, 2007. Seidlin has said he will make a ruling on the matter by on Friday. But for a second time, Broward County's chief medical examiner warned the judge that little time remains before Smith's body becomes too decomposed for a public viewing. Before the court broke for lunch, Arthur tearfully acknowledged that her daughter last told her she wanted to be buried in California near her idol Marilyn Monroe - an admission that could hurt the woman's fight to have the pinup laid to rest in her native Texas. Arthur said her last conversation with her daughter about her burial came more than 10 years ago. She said Smith told her, "Wherever the stars are buried, that's where she wanted to be buried." During the court battle with Stern, Arthur has said she wants her daughter - and her grandson, Smith's deceased son Daniel buried in their native state of Texas. Arthur added that Smith told her, during her twenties, that she wanted to be buried in the family burial plot in Texas. However Stern wants her body to be laid to rest next to her son Daniel in the Bahamas, where he died last year from apparent drug-related causes In perhaps the most emotional exchange so far, Arthur implied that Howard K. Stern was responsible for the deaths of both Anna Nicole and her son. Arthur was hammered by Stern's lawyers with questions about any compensation she has or would receive from news organisations for access to interviews or footage after the deaths of her daughter and grandson. When asked pointedly if she "in any fashion profited at all from the death of (her) daughter," Arthur pointed at Stern and said, "He has." After the break Howard K. Stern, took the stand and was questioned before about the finances of the couple after Arthur had accused him of benefiting financially from Smith's death. Stern admitted that his law practise finished in 2002 and the former Playmate had been supporting them, which included paying for an apartment for Stern in California. "Anna paid for most things, she paid for everything basically," he added. Without written proof of Smith's wishes, Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin was forced to hear testimony from those who claim to know what Anna Nicole wanted after her death and try to come to a solution. Also at issue in a court in Los Angles is the paternity of Smith's five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. Stern is listed as the father on the birth certificate, but a photographer who once dated Smith, former boyfriend Larry Birkhead, says the girl is his daughter. Smith was the widow of Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. The two married in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. She had been fighting his family over his estimated 500 million (m) US dollar fortune since his death in 1995. The cause of her death is under investigation.

Finally, she was able to free her daughter and rush her to the emergency room. The girl's father says when police arrived the woman and dog were gone. This is an image from a nearby camera. He is hoping the woman will come forward in part to keep this from happening to anyone else, but also to avoid making his daughter's situation even worse. We don't know anything about the dog.

Various of Anna Nicole Smith outside US Supreme Court THE DISPUTE CONTINUES Lawyers in Florida spent a third day on Saturday, arguing in the custody dispute over Anna Nicole Smith's body. The former glamour mode's will, written in 2001 and released on Friday, leaves more questions than it answers about who will inherit Smith's potentially huge estate. The 19-page documents put no figure on the possible value of Smith's estate. Her body was embalmed on Saturday but it's still not clear what will happen next because the will made no mention either of Smith's preference for funeral arrangements. It named Smith's lawyer and boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, as her executor, stipulating that he hold her estate in trust for her son Daniel Smith. But Daniel died last September aged 20, apparently from drugs-related causes, days after the birth of the Smith's daughter, Dannielynn. And the will explicitly leaves out anything for anyone other than Daniel Smith. "I have intentionally omitted to provide for my spouse and other heirs, including future spouses and children and other descendants now living and those hereafter born or adopted," Smith said in the will, which was signed under her legal name, Vickie Lynn Marshall. Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin ordered the release of the will in the latest round in the tangled legal dispute that erupted after the voluptuous blonde died at a Florida hotel February 8, 2007, at age 39. The cause of death is under investigation. Stephen Tunstall, a lawyer for Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur, had questioned the veracity of the will before its release, calling it a "phantom will," but did not answer questions about the document as he left court on Friday. Ron Rale, once a lawyer for Smith and now representing Stern in his case to prove fatherhood of Dannielynn, said he was aware that the will alone would not settle the dispute. The document was released hours after Seidlin - who is trying to settle a three-way dispute over the body - agreed to the embalming. Two embalmers started that process Saturday morning at the Broward County medical examiner's office, after being searched for objects like cameras and signing a confidentiality agreement that stated they would not talk about, write about, photograph or draw the body, said the medical examiner, Doctor Joshua Perper. "They started basically at 9:15 the embalming. They did an excellent job, and the body will be ready for viewing with no problem. In other words, she's basically looking like she looked in life or very, very close to that," said Perper. Meanwhile mourners have been leaving flowers outside the medical examiner's office. One woman was seen taking pictures of the memorial and offering prayers at the site. Stern and Arthur are fighting over where Smith should be buried and who will get custody of the baby. Stern, who is listed as the baby's father on the birth certificate, says Smith wanted to be buried next to her son in the Bahamas. Arthur wants her buried in Smith's home state of Texas. A third figure in the dispute, photographer Larry Birkhead, claims to have fathered Dannielynn and won permission to take DNA from Smith's body in hopes of proving it, a request that held up the embalming. The will made no mention of Smith's mother, who the starlet had venomously said she would never speak to again. The judge ordered Stern, who was in the Bahamas and did not attend Friday's hearing, to appear in court Tuesday when the case resumes.

Anna Nicole Smith on red carpet STORYLINE: The transcontinental battle over what to do with Anna Nicole Smith's body and her infant daughter took place in two courtrooms on Tuesday in Florida and California. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Smith's boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, took the stand to pursue his quest to "carry out what Anna Nicole wanted" for her burial. Also present were Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur and Smith's former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the biological father of Smith's 5-month-old daughter Dannielynn. Stern and Arthur are in court arguing over what to do with the model's remains, while another hearing in California dealt with questions about the paternity of Smith's infant daughter. Called to the stand to testify, Stern called Anna Nicole "my best friend, my lover, the mother of my daughter, everything to me." He said Smith wanted to be buried next to her son Daniel in the Bahamas, where she had been living with Stern. Stern recounted Smith's actions at her 20-year-old son Daniel's funeral after he died of apparent drug-related causes. "She had the people open the casket and she was just inconsolable and hugging Daniel and grabbing onto him, and she wanted to go down with Daniel right there," Stern testified. "She said, 'If Daniel has to be buried, I want to be buried with him.'" Smith died in Florida on Feb. 8 at age 39. The cause of death is under investigation. Without written proof of Smith's own wishes, Judge Seidlin is forced to hear testimony from those who claim to know what Smith wanted. Arthur wants Smith brought home to her native Texas, insisting that despite their estrangement, she has the right to bury her own daughter, not a man to whom Smith wasn't even married. A bodyguard, doctor, neighbour and friend all have submitted affidavits claiming Smith told them she wanted to be buried next to her son in the Bahamas. Stern's attorney, Krista Barth, said she had bank documentation proving Smith had agreed to pay for two cemetery plots in Nassau. Barth showed an "Entertainment Tonight" interview in which Smith expressed hatred for her estranged mother. In that video clip, Smith said she "would never speak to" her mother again. Arthur also took the stand Tuesday, testifying that drugs soured her relationship with her daughter. Arthur said the two talked only every few months and that Smith often called her in the middle of the night sounding "drugged." "She was on Valium. She liked downers," Arthur said. "She didn't like uppers." In Los Angeles, Stern's lawyers argued with attorneys for photographer Larry Birkhead, who claims he fathered the girl. Dannielyn could be worth millions of dollars, depending on how her estate is divided up. Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schnider declined to relinquish the paternity case but suggested there were still questions to be resolved before the courts can determine which state has jurisdiction. Smith was the widow of Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. The two married in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. She had been fighting his family over his estimated 500 (m) million US dollar fortune since his death in 1995.

Stern walks out of court (++MUTE++) STORYLINE Lawyers battling for the remains of former glamour model Anna Nicole Smith are now fighting the clock. US Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin has set a self-imposed Friday morning deadline to issue a decision in the case, which boils down to a tug-of-war between Smith's estranged mother, Virgie Arthur and her lawyer-turned-boyfriend Howard K. Stern, who wants a burial in the Bahamas. A third figure in the dispute is Smith's former boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who is subject to a paternity test as he claims to be the father of Smith's five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn. Arthur and Birkhead have both testified that the starlet said she wanted to be buried in California, not the plots in the Bahamas or Texas that have been the focus of the fierce weeklong legal debate. Birkhead told the Florida hearing on Wednesday that he thought Smith should be buried close to where Dannielynn will be living and he was adamant this would be in California with him. "The problem that I am having with it is that I am a California resident and if and when I get the daughter that I know and believe is mine, she won't live in the Bahamas, so is that a place that she is going to have to travel to go see her brother and her mother's grave," Birkhead said. Judge Seidlin indicated earlier on Wednesday that he wanted to broker a compromise between Arthur and Stern. The Florida hearing is just one part of the legal battle surrounding Smith. At issue in a California court is who fathered Dannielynn, who could inherit millions of dollars depending on how Smith's estate is broken up. Stern is listed as the father on the birth certificate, but Birkhead says the girl is his.

During that time, detectives of the Seminole Police Department have conducted a thorough investigation into her unexplained death. Our detectives interviewed numerous individuals involved in the case and they found them to be cooperative. The Broward (County) Sheriff's Crime Scene Unit completed a thorough investigation of the case, of the death, of the scene of the death and found no evidence of illegal drugs. We have reviewed hundreds of hours of video tape captured by the hotel security cameras and we found nothing unusual. We analysed the contents of a laptop computer belonging to Mr Stern with the approval of his attorney and we found nothing to indicate any foul play. We are convinced based on an extensive review of the evidence that this case is an accidental overdose with no other criminal elements present. The investigation has been carried out with the full cooperation and participation of the office of the Broward County State Attorney. We have worked closely with the Royal Bahamian Police Force. We have been in close cooperation with the Broward Medical Examiner, Doctor Joshua Perper, who I want to thank for his ongoing commitment and professionalism.

VS Anna Nicole Smith at book launch ANNA NICOLE'S DEATH 'ACCIDENTAL' Former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith died from an accidental drug overdose, authorities in the US announced on Monday. Seminole Police Department Chief Charlie Tiger said the autopsy finding effectively closed the case on Smith's sudden death in February. He told a news conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, no evidence of illegal drugs had been found and there was nothing to indicate foul play. "We are convinced based on an extensive review of the evidence that this case is an accidental overdose with no other criminal elements present," Tiger said. The case was, he said, now "effectively closed.'' Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper said Smith died of "combined drug intoxication" with the sleeping medication chloral hydrate as the major factor. "Chloral hydrate is a sedative and a sleeping medication," Perper said. "It's usually not used very much today because there are a lot of other medication which are either safer, or more convenient," he added. According to Perper, Smith was taking a lengthy list of other medications, including methadone for pain. "She had a long history of multiple prescription drug use and over self-medication in the past. And apparently she was, most likely, not aware of the risk of using multiple drugs, particularly when she was sick." Smith, 39, was found unresponsive on 8 February in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. Smith had arrived at the Hard Rock on 5 February and planned to leave four days later aboard a new yacht that her companion Howard K. Stern was arranging to buy. She was seldom seen outside her room during her stay and was said to be suffering from flu before she died. "When she arrived to the hotel at about 7.30pm, it was found that her temperature was extremely high, it was 105 degrees Fahrenheit. She was asked by her friends to go to an emergency room, to a hospital, call 911 and she firmly refused,'' Perper said. The weeks after her death were filled with public courtroom drama and private whispers about what might have killed her. Because her death was so sudden, and because her 20-year-old son Daniel died under suspicious circumstances five months earlier, there has been speculation about possible criminal activity surrounding the deaths. The Seminole Police Department investigated the case because the casino is on tribal land. An inquest into Daniel's death is scheduled to start on Tuesday in the Bahamas, where he died. Smith grew up in Texas and went from topless dancer to Playboy Playmate of the Year, Guess jeans model and bride of 89-year-old Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, whom she married in 1994 and who died the next year. Smith's infant daughter, whose full name is Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, could inherit (m) millions from Marshall's estate. Smith had been fighting Marshall's family over his estimated 500 (m) million US dollars fortune since his death. Stern and two other men have claimed to be the baby's father.

Anna Nicole Smith walking towards US Supreme Court with her lawyer, Howard K. Stern STORYLINE: Lawyers for Howard K. Stern, one of several men claiming paternity of 5-month-old Dannielynn, on Wednesday called for Anna Nicole Smith's body to be released for burial. "There is sufficient DNA. There is no need to in any way delay this process. We want Anna Nicole to have a proper burial,'' said Ron Rale, the lawyer who had represented Smith in the California paternity battle, before a hearing in Los Angeles. "We all know that Anna Nicole would not want Vergie (Vergie Arthur, Anna Nicole Smith's mother) to have control of her body and I am hoping and praying that justice follows what the intent of Anna Nicole was,'' Rale added. Smith's mother, Vergie Arthur, and Stern had been opposing last week's decision by a Los Angeles judge ordering the body not to be released, fearing that if the body is not embalmed, even though it is refrigerated, it will not be suitable for viewing or funeral purposes. Meanwhile Florida's judicial circuit ordered the body be held for ten days after a brief meeting on Wednesday morning with lawyers for photographer Larry Birkhead, who also claims to be the baby's father. "From what I read this body's staying right here. We'll decide what condition and what place we put the body, but the body belongs to me now," said Florida Circuit Judge, Larry Seidlin. Birkhead's lawyers feared that accurate DNA testing would not be possible if the body were released and moved out of state. A lawyer representing Stern said the lack of resolution in the case was sad. "Every day that goes by that there is not a resolution to this matter is a day when Mr Stern is up all night and dealing with these things, and very sad, and not because it's Mr. Stern, but because he knows what Anna wanted," said lawyer Krista Barth. Smith, 39, died on February 8 after collapsing at a hotel. She was the widow of billionaire J. Howard Marshall II, whom she married when he was 89 and she was 26. She had been fighting his family for years over his fortune and baby Dannielynn could inherit millions from her mother's estate. Prince Frederic von Anhalt, the husband of the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, has said he had a decade-long affair with Smith and may also be the father. A hearing was set for next Tuesday in Los Angeles to consider whether DNA from Smith can be used in the paternity case.
