Larry Birkhead Wins Appeal Including ALL Attorneys Fees, Debra Opri Promises to Destroy Dannielynn’s Dad??


April 10, 2009


On April 8, the California Second Appellate District, Division two, Affirmed in favor for Larry Birkhead and against Debra Opri. In what must have been a sting to Opri, Birkhead was awarded all attorney fees associated with his need to fight the Appeal filed by Debra Opri almost 18 months ago.

The case will be sent back to the L. A. Superior Court to proceed through discovery and to trial.
One has to wonder if Birkhead will end up with the largest chunk of that over $500k being held in a trust account pending this decision. Defending appeals cannot be cheap, I would think.
.
The spin machine is already beginning to work but only Radar Online would bite for an interview with Opri, where they spun it that Birkhead asked for the arbitration and lost. HUH??? How does one figure that once reading the papers from the Appellate Court? Deb, that's not how I remember it either. You wanted arbitration, Larry filed suit...
.
That would explain why no other credible site “bought” Opri’s claim that a loss equaled a win...
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com Opri said: “I have been ready for trial for the past two years. Mr. Birkhead has a lot of dirty laundry that is going to be aired. In the end, he may be sorry what he wished for. Mr. Birkhead shouldn’t go head to head with me, it’s a battle he can’t win.”
.
It is sad that Debra Opri is stating publicly, even if it is only to a celebrity blog that would pick this spin machine up of, “Birkhead has a lot of dirty laundry and that is going to be aired”. Please Ms. Opri think of Dannielynn, perhaps both sides should ask for a Gag Order and just let the legal filings speak for themselves.
.
I would imagine that Opri will have to pay Larry Birkhead’s legal fees before the case continues forward. One has to wonder if she should have taken the deal Birkhead’s lawyer, Michael Trope at once offered her. Now she stands to lose not only these attorney fees for the Appeal but now must go back to the L. A. Superior Court and face that judge, and begin the discovery process.
.
Will Opri, keep a long ago promise to “destroy Larry Birkhead with the truth”? Will Debra Opri try to destroy Dannielynn’s father and if so how will she spin that one; “Something like for the common good for Dannielynn”?
.
Yea when you put lipstick on a pig, I would say you have only lipstick on a pig. If Opri decides to take that route I predict it will be bumpy, and she may perhaps be facing more than the Original Complaint by Birkhead of Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Conversion, Fraud, Legal Malpractice, Declaratory Relief, etc.
.
The California Second Appellate District was unanimous in affirming the lower trial court ruling in favor of Birkhead.
.
Just when you think just about all of these cases are done, then they just rise up again for another go round. As soon as this is back in the L. A. Superior Court, Civil Division, we of course we be following it through papers and not spin machines, and through solid court dates and rulings.
.
Why didn't she just give him the money? She had no right to it. Larry has a solid contract--hell, she wrote it. She really is a "C" word. Crooked and Cheesy. What...?
