  • Nick Gordon Didn’t Kill Bobbi Kristina Brown, According to Papers Filed to Dismiss Wrongful Death Lawsuit

    Nick Gordon didn’t kill Bobbi Kristina Brown–at least according to Nick Gordon and the team of lawyers he assembled to file paperwork to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit he was hit with when Bobbi Kristina died on July 26th. His legal team calls the accusations against Nick Gordon “false” and “frivolous.”

    “[The original lawsuit] contains several unsupported conclusory, untrue, criminal accusations that Defendant Nicholas Gordon committed acts that he simply did not do,” read part of the motion. “[The] plaintiff has not provided any evidence including but not limited to affidavits, police reports, indictments, or any other documentation to support baseless claims against Defendant Nicholas Gordon,” the papers read.

    The original lawsuit filed by an executor for Bobbi Kristina Brown–before she died–accused Nick Gordon of having abused Bobbi Kristina in the days prior to her being discovered unconscious in a bathtub inside her Roswell, Georgia townhouse. Gordon was also accused of stealing money from her bank account while Bobbi Kristina was hospitalized in a coma.

    When Bobbi Kristina Brown died, the lawsuit was amended.

    “Bobbi Kristina was subsequently diagnosed with global and irreversible brain damage and died as a result of Defendant’s actions,” the amended paperwork read.

    Nick Gordon’s attorneys, Joe Habachy and Jose Baez (Baez represented Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her toddler, Caylee Anthony), called the suit “slanderous and meritless.”

    “Nick has been heartbroken and destroyed over the loss of his love and it’s shameful that such baseless allegations have been presented publicly,” the attorneys said in a joint statement to ABC News. “Nick has engaged civil counsel and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously and expose it for what it is: a fictitious assault against the person who loved Krissy most.”

    Do you think Nick Gordon caused Bobbi Kristina’s death? Her father, Bobby Brown, and members of her mom, Whitney Houston’s family, believe so.

    Will Nick wind up paying for the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown’s untimely death or will his legal team get the whole thing dismissed instead?

  • Bobbi Kristina: Dad Bobby Brown Welcomes One Daughter, Waits for Another to Die

    Bobbi Kristina Brown is living out her last days in a hospice facility outside of Atlanta, while her dad Bobby Brown experiences a range of emotions so vast it’s nearly unfathomable. The New Edition singer has welcomed a new daughter into the world with wife Alicia Etheredge as he waits for another daughter to die.

    Alicia Etheredge gave birth to her second child with Bobby Brown on Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. They also have a five-year-old son named Cassius.

    Bobby Brown left Bobbi Kristina’s bedside and was in L.A. in time to be with Alicia before their daughter made her way into the world.

    Bobbi Kristina has hovered near death’s door since being moved from a rehab facility to the hospice a couple of weeks ago. She has been removed from all forms of life support but appears to be hanging on.

    It was back on January 31st that Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home. She has never regained consciousness. A trip to a Chicago hospital prior to the move to hospice assured family members there is no brain activity and no chance that Bobbi Kristina will recover.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend and the young man raised alongside her by Whitney Houston–has assembled a legal team to represent him in a civil lawsuit filed by a conservator on behalf of Bobbi Kristina Brown. The lawsuit alleges that in the days prior to Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy he physically abused her and withdrew money from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Gordon has retained Jose Baez as one of his attorneys. Baez represented Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her toddler, Caylee Anthony.

    Nick Gordon, of course, denies these allegations and maintains his only wish is to see Bobbi Kristina one more time before she passes away.

    Yes, the range of emotions Bobby Brown is experiencing right now is vast. The joy of welcoming one daughter into the world while waiting for another to take her last breath is something no father should ever have to endure.

    How sad that Bobbi Kristina will never know her new half-sister.

  • Bobbi Kristina Brown Deathbed Photo Results in Brown Family Being Banned from Hospice

    Bobbi Kristina Brown will take her last breath in a hospice outside of Atlanta. Someone who visited her at that hospice facility took a deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina, and is in the process of shopping it to a number of tabloids. It is believed that the person who took the photo is a member of Bobby Brown’s family. As a result, the Brown family–with the exception of Bobby Brown–has been banned from visiting Bobbi Kristina at the hospice.

    HollywoodLife.com reports that a security team told Whitney Houston’s family they had evidence that a member of Bobby Brown’s family had taken the deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina. The executors of her estate–Bobby Brown and Pat Houston–have since prohibited any additional Brown family members from visiting again.

    The Houston family reportedly knows the name of the person who took the tasteless photo. And even though they know that person aims to profit from Bobbi Kristina’s tragedy, they still won’t divulge who it is.

    Bobbi Kristina Brown was discovered unconscious in a bathtub in her Roswell, Georgia home back on January 31st. She has never regained consciousness. Before moving her to the hospice facility, she was flown to Chicago for one last doctor’s exam. Following the exam, doctors told Bobby Brown there was nothing they could do for his daughter.

    It won’t be long before Bobbi Kristina Brown is reunited with her mother, Whitney Houston, who tragically was found in a very similar state as Bobbi Kristina. Whitney, however, had died by the time she was discovered in the bathtub.

    A lawsuit has been filed against Nick Gordon–Bobbi Kristina Brown’s boyfriend–by an executor. The civil suit alleges he physically abused Bobbi Kristina and withdrew money from her bank account without her permission in the days leading up to her tragedy.

    Nick Gordon denies the allegations and is busy assembling a legal team that includes Jose Baez, the attorney who represented Casey Anthony, who was charged with but acquitted of the murder of her two-year-old daughter Caylee Anthony.

    Once Bobbi Kristina Brown passes away, Nick Gordon could be charged with murder. It is likely that Bobby Brown will go after whomever took the deathbed photo of Bobbi Kristina then, too.

    How sad that in addition to watching Bobbi Kristina Brown’s life slip away, the Brown and Houston families also have to deal with these additional matters–one that may be criminal in nature, and the other a matter of pure greed.

  • Nick Gordon: Legal Team in Bobbi Kristina Brown Lawsuit to Include Casey Anthony’s Lawyer

    Nick Gordon was named in a civil suit last week when a conservator for Bobbi Kristina Brown filed a lawsuit against him. The suit alleges he abused Bobbi Kristina in the days leading up to January 31st, when she was found unconscious in her bathtub. The suit claims Nick Gordon physically assaulted her and took money from her bank accounts without her permission.

    Now ET is reporting that Nick Gordon is assembling a high power legal team, in anticipation of the possibility of more charges coming when Bobbi Kristina Brown dies. Jose Baez is included on his legal team. He is the lawyer who represented Casey Anthony, who was acquitted in the murder of her two-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony.

    In addition to Jose Baez, Nick Gordon’s legal team thus far includes Joe Habachy, who will serve as lead attorney. TJ Ward, one of the investigators who worked on the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway when she went missing in Aruba in 2005, is expected to sign on to the team as well.

    No criminal charges have yet been filed against Nick Gordon, but it’s expected that could happen.

    “[The District’s Attorney] will have to make a decision whether this was a homicide, a domestic violence or non-criminal,” former LA prosecutor Michael Kraut explained in a conversation with ET. “Nick clearly doesn’t have $10 million. The lawsuit was filed to get information in order to provide the police and district attorney about what happened on that day.”

    Do you expect Nick Gordon might be charged with murder when Bobbi Kristina Brown passes away? Her family is sitting vigil by her bedside at a Georgia hospice awaiting that fateful moment.

    Meanwhile Nick Gordon was recently spotted out shopping in Florida.

    Do you think there is enough evidence against Nick Brown to prove that he harmed Bobbi Kristina enough to cause her death?

  • Casey Anthony Lawyer, Judge Make Headlines Three Years After Acquittal

    Three years after the acquittal of Casey Anthony in her trial for the murder of daughter Caylee, her lawyer and the judge who presided over the case are making headlines. Anthony’s lawyer, Jose Baez, recently gave an interview where he spoke about Anthony’s controversial case. Meanwhile, former judge Belvin Perry is stepping down from the bench to join a Florida law firm.

    Baez sat down with WFTV’s Greg Warmoth to discuss his thoughts about the trial that put Casey in the international spotlight in 2011. He defended his opening statement in the trial, where he accused Anthony’s father George of sexually abusing her and of being part of a plan to cover up the alleged drowning of Caylee in a pool.

    “There’s more evidence that she drowned in the pool, in my opinion, than there is that of chloroform or duct tape,” said Baez. He also addressed rumors of having an affair with Anthony by denying that she was doing legal research for him and saying he no longer is in contact with her.

    “So many people think she got away with murder. I think not,” Baez said.

    The lawyer, who recently opened an office in downtown Orlando, claimed that he felt Judge Belvin Perry talked down to him during the trial. Perry has officially resigned his post as chief judge of Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit. After serving 25 years as a judge there, he announced on September 1 that he was going back into private practice with the law firm of Morgan and Morgan.

    Perry is reportedly looking forward to returning to the courtroom trying cases, having served as a prosecutor for several years before becoming a judge. “I have a golden opportunity to do something that I’ve always wanted to do, and that’s to practice personal injury law,” he said of the new development in his career.

  • Casey Anthony’s Lawyer Hired By Michael Lohan

    Casey Anthony’s now-famous lawyer, Jose Baez, has been hired by another (somewhat) famous face.

    Michael Lohan, the train wreck father of Lindsay Lohan, has allegedly hired Baez to bring charges against the Palm Beach County Detention Center.

    He is accusing the facility of ignoring vaginal bleeding happening to his pregnant girlfriend, Kate Major.

    On August 4th, the bleeding was reported to have gone on for five days. Casey Anthony’s former lawyer is hoping to issue a court order for the jail to properly treat Kate Major’s bleeding.

    “This is a real mess,” Lohan said of the fiasco. “She is … pregnant and they know it … usually, this type of bleeding is indicative of a miscarriage.”

    He said authorities “put a pregnant woman with people who have staph infections,” and that “the stuff that goes on in that place is just inhumane.”

    He continued, “What do they think is going to happen?”

    Michael Lohan has also said that Kate Major’s living conditions are barbaric.

    “She hasn’t showered in four days. The vent in her cell has mold, and every time the air turns on the mold pieces fall into her cell. She has bruises on her back because she is sleeping on a plastic bed with a thin mattress.”

    Jose Baez, who defended Casey Anthony in the murder trial of her daughter Caylee, was brought on board to hopefully work a little of that nearly impossible Casey Anthony magic. Can he improve conditions for Kate Major, who is serving an eight-month sentence for violating probation on a DUI sentence and is also carrying Michael Lohan’s baby?

    We shall see. He was able to free Casey Anthony when almost the entire country was convinced of her guilt, so perhaps he could make it happen.
