Celebrity Justice? Dismissal In Anna Nicole Smith Case Insults America’s Jury System

In response to the surprising outcome of the Anna Nicole Smith criminal trial, I was featured on the radio talk show KFWB in LA discussing Judge Perry’s decision to throw out the conviction of Smith’s former lover and lawyer, Howard K. Stern.  Please go to the “News & Appearances” section of my blog to listen the clip.  I was also featured on “Big Hollywood”with my opinion editorial piece on celebrity justice and America’s jury system.  Perry’s shocking decision to overturn a jury of Stern’s peers is extremely disrespectful to the entire jury system.  This was not a bench trial and those twelve men and women spent weeks agonizing over details to reach their decision.  Additionally, Perry’s actions today are inconsistent with his own rulings throughout the trial – there were several attempts to have the conspiracy charges dismissed and he did not do that.  Stay tuned for the latest!

  1. The department of Justice as well as the bar association should look towards the mishandling of this dismissal.
