That judge was really taking the decision hard. Dan Abrams on MSNBC has just been blasting him. said he made the decision today so he can make the rounds of the talk shows tomorrow. (if he made it Friday, the interest might die down by monday)

Vergie is going to make herself look like more of an ass if she appeals!

Someone on court tv pointed out that after much wrangling and cremation of the body, Anna left her half of her deceased husband's cremains at the funeral home for FIVE YEARS.. so she wasn't so worried about that with him.

My source of info regarding Anna Nicole has been from this site for the most part (aside from the random tabloid headline at the store). And I know there are as many beliefs about the afterlife as there are people in this world. But I find myself trying to figure out what Anna Nicole would think if she was indeed able to witness what is going on currently regarding her life and death. While she was alive, my sense of her was that she was really craving attention (bad or good) and needed that validation from the media that she was important. My hope is that if she IS able to witness this, that she is sincerely able to feel or experience some of the level of importance the media has placed on her life and death. It is just such a tragedy. But I guess the JohnEdwardsBelieving part of me wonders if Anna Nicole Smith would feel it was as much of a tragedy as I do. (Just wanted to add a disclaimer that I really know very little about ANS and about what is going on with the case, so my post is truly trying to ponder the thought and find some iota of hope or meaning from all of this. )

Larry and Howard are both announcing that Anna's wishes will be carried out and she will go to the Bahamas now. Vergie is there now saying she loved Anna.. Larry's attonrney crying saying Larry will be seeing his daughter soon. Won't discuss funeral. Howard's attny says all will work on funeral, private, you can all go home. Will be buried in the Bahamas.

Dr Perper, medical examiner, says body still held, pending appeal. Cause of death still being processed, perhaps another 10 days. Also manner of death.

Sea, did you hear that Vergie will file an appeal? Or are you guessing? I thought that when all three came out, they had agreed to the Bahamian resting place.

They're talking on msnbc, said one of the reporters asked her if she was appealing, she said yes, and her lawyer said yes.

now the conspiracy theorist in me is thinking that the reason for the judges crying and sudden decision to rule was that on the lunch break he was told 'to get this case over and done with, out of our courts and quit your embarrassing behavior or else!!'

Vergie's attorney (Texas)said she will file an appeal and then the medical examiner said an appeal has been filed, didn't say who filed. He was shown on court tv and I think spoke to Nancy Grace via satellite feed.

Court TV will have cameras in the courtroom for the hearing tomorrow morning, per Jean Casares. This is on Catherine Crier on Court TV.

Oh, Virgie should let it rest. Doesn't sound like she has much of a chance anyway.

Unfortunately, Virgie's counsel is smelling money and is probably egging her on.

It's just more proof to me that Virgie didn't love her daughter, that she would ignore her daughter's last wishes, and not let this go. ETA: When she testified that she and husband #2 had bought 6 cemetary plots, for her, him and their four kids, it seemed to me she was rather self-centered. When an opposing attorney asked her if it had occurred to her that her kids might grow up and be buried when their own spouses, she answered "yes, in Texas". She's clueless.

Is there a way to access Court TV without having to pay? Vergie can't let it rest. I could be wrong but I think that while she does sincerely want her daughter buried in Texas, she's probably had many financial offers to cover the funeral or whatever. What I would like to know is who is paying her expenses and who would be paying the expenses for transporting Anna Nicole back to Texas plus moving Daniel as she said she would. I don't think Larry Birkhead really cares when she is buried. He just wants his daughter (if she is his). It was kinda telling when he refused to answer the question this morning of whether Anna Nicole was the love of his life. With that man's looks, I'm sure he has no problem with the ladies.

I think Birkhead is basically an honest person and I dont see him as perjuring himself or not taking a courtroom seriously. He struck me as being your typical southern raised gentleman. Respectful of the judge and the situation, wanting to win of course but he didnt strike me as the type who was willing to be dishonest to get there he also was somewhat reluctant to speak ill of Anna Nicole.

She just can't stand Howard. She blames him for Anna's drug use. She said clearly on the Ablow show that either Anna or Howard murdered Danny. So she simply can't allow him to win. She did hedge all over the place about that video at Danny's grave. Yeah, the guy from Splash tv was a "great family friend", and she had no idea the video would end up on Splash? Give me a break.

I couldn't stand Stern when he was on the anna nicols smith show. Birkhead is growing on me. I though he was a media junky at first, but seems to me he just wants his child, if she is his and not a meal ticket. If this is a bunch of bahooky, he could have picked a much better target than Anna Nicole Smith.

NT, Court TV is part of my cable package but I don't know if it is basic cable or not. The website used to be free.
