When the going gets tough, the tough don’t answer the phone? That seemed to be the case this morning when a Florida radio show thought they would be interviewing Judge Larry Seidlin.
Seidlin, the former Broward County (FL) probate judge, visited several national news shows in the last week or so promoting his book “The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith,” the case that upon its conclusion he famously proclaimed “I’m not going to talk about this case ever again.”
Using a national platform (Today, The View, etc.), Seidlin seemed to enjoy pontificating on the need to re-open investigations into Smith and her son’s deaths along with disparaging Howard K. Stern while generally positioning himself as the voice of reason and admirable judicial temperament regarding the whole matter.
The threat of this morning’s interview bringing potential questions about his own media statements and lawsuit alleging Seidlin (and his family’s) financial exploitation of an elderly neighbor seemed more than the judge who once required folks before him to “tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” was willing to himself undergo.
After the interview lead-in, the former judge seemingly became unreachable. The audio clip and additional info is available here.
Links to the columns we’ve written about Seidlin and the lawsuit brought against he and others by Barbara Kasler are listed below. Judge Seidlin can be an inspirational figure. Maybe its time for another column …
