@thegirl44 I can definitely agree with you that the drug user should be the one completely responsible for their own actions. I do think he was the one person Anna could turn to and trust, when so many were trying to use her, but I think he had some selfish motives. But we can agree to disagree :)

As a recovered addict I feel that the burden of responsibility for Anna's drug use was on Anna. There is documentation of Anna using and going into rehab before Howard came along. This new legal practice of shifting personal responsibility on to others has to stop and I sincerely hope that Howard K is found not guilty in this case. He couldn't have got the drugs for Anna if the doctors didn't write the perscriptions and wouldn't have if Anna didn't want them.

@Calikola

We've come to agree to disagree, my friend.

When Anna and Howard started a personal relationship the first thing that Anna should have done to prevent a conflict of interest would have been to find a new lawyer.

I don't think that the charges against Howard will stick for the simple reason of: The defense will pull in person after person who was thrown out of Anna's inner circle for not doing as she said, Howard was simply catering to the woman he loved.

@thegirl44 My original point in all this, was that you may think Larry Birkhead is a scumbag who will exploit the baby. That's fair.

However, Howard K Stern is a KNOWN scumbag. He had a reputation for manipulating Anna's decisions, and has been charged with providing her with the drugs. So I wouldn't trust anything that was "Anna's wishes" in her will, since Howard was her lawyer, and was named executor of the estate. Given the choice, between the two, I'd rather go with the natural parent.

@thegirl44 You clearly don't know much about Howard. He's been charged with conspiracy, along with her doctors, for filling the prescriptions that led to Anna's death. Also, have you ever seen the video he took of Anna when she was pregnant with Dannielynn? Search "Anna Nicole Clown Video". She was clearly intoxicated and Howard Stern took the video and released it to the media to exploit her. He may have originally been hired as his agent, but he began using her and exerting control over her.

@Calikola

Howard K was Anna's AGENT and was hired in this capacity after Anna was already famous, it was his job to keep her CAREER in the spotlight. The work that he was paid to do for his client has no bearing on how he would have treated his daughter. You are making a non argument

[Calikola]

@thegirl44 Like Howard wouldn't have done the same? He was the one who was always pimping Anna out to the paparazzi and tabloids.

[thegirl44]

Just to clarify, Daniel died AFTER Anna put Howard K's name on the birth certificate, so your argument isn't supported by any historical fact.

@Calikola

I understand of the archaic family law system. Just because it's law doesn't make it right.

Prior to the widespread use of DNA testing in the 1990's Howard K would have been the father of that baby, as per the mother's wishes, as opposed to a failed paprazzi who sells photos of the dead mother to the highest bidder and was shopping around for a reality television show to exploit the toddler.

He'll be pimping that baby even harder now that Anna didn't get the Marshall inheritance.

@thegirl44 Look, custody just doesn't work that way. She chose to bring a child into this world with Larry, and for better or for worse, he has a right to that child. If she wanted to Howard to raise her child, she should have had a baby with him. Larry was never given a chance to be a father to that baby before Anna tried to cut him out of Dannielynn's life.

Don't forget that Anna had issues with drugs and was going through a lot after her son's death. Her judgment might not have been sound.
