Product Description
Valentine's Day 2007. The body of model, actress, former U.S. Playmate of the Year, and international celebrity Anna Nicole Smith, dead of an apparent drug overdose, lay in a morgue in South Florida, decomposing at an alarming rate. No one could decide where to bury her.
Enter Judge Larry Seidlin, and twenty-nine lawyers. The six-day trial that followed heard explosive testimony: That Anna Nicole's mother, a lifetime police officer with a nose for foul play, had predicted her death just months before. That Howard K. Stern slept on a couch downstairs while Anna Nicole and Larry Birkhead made love upstairs. That Stern, her lawyer, smuggled a duffle bag full of drugs into the hospital room of a pregnant Anna Nicole while she was under a doctor's care for her drug dependency. Under oath, both Stern and Birkhead claimed to be the father of Anna Nicole's baby daughter, Dannielynn.

Was Anna Nicole Smith murdered? Did she commit suicide? If she died from a drug overdose, was it accidental or intentional? And what about Anna Nicole's son, twenty-year old Daniel, a young man who did not have a drug problem, dead just a few months before from a methadone overdose? Was Daniel murdered? Was his overdose accidental or intentional? It always came back to the drugs.

Judge Larry Seidlin captivated America, and the world, during the six-day trial in which he laid bare the ugly reality of prescription drug abuse among celebrities, and the role enablers play in their addiction, and sometimes their death.

Judge Larry Seidlin is convinced the original investigations into the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel were seriously flawed. He believes that someone committed manslaughter, through reckless conduct, in the death of Anna Nicole Smith. Judge Seidlin believes that reckless conduct also led to the death of her son. He points out the similarities between the drug deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and Michael Jackson. In The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith, Judge Seidlin presents damning evidence and explains, for the first time, why he thinks justice eluded Anna Nicole Smith.

Five Star Reviewer:

This book is filled with golden nuggets of new evidence pointing to murder. Anna Nicole's mother even warned her that her son had been murdered and she would be next! The unhealthy obsession by her devoted "man-Friday" allowed him to feed very pregnant Anna huge quantities of drugs--and is revealed in this court hearing for the first time. Judge Seidlin gets rivetting new testimony opening the doors to new investigations of Anna Nicole's and her son's sudden deaths, pointing directly to foul play by one of the major participants. You won't be able to put this book down. Courtroom statements and actual facts are so much better than fiction! Thank God little Dannielynn came home to her loving father Larry Birkhead, and is out of harm's way. If you prefer actual courtroom drama to frenzied media speculation, you will really enjoy this book!

One Star Reviewer:

Judge Seidlin has written a 337 page love letter to himself. He talks about how he is "elected, appointed and loved by the citizens and power structure of Broward County". It is so hard to discern any of the facts of the case because they are so buried under the mounds of Larry talking about Larry.

________

The people who loved the book placed focus on the information provided on the death of Anna Nicole Smith. The people who hated the book thought it contained too much information on the judge who wrote the book.

Again, this seems to be one of those books that people either love or hate.
