Judge Robert Perry was very interested in Anna's seizures and asked Birkhead to further elaborate about her seizures. Birkhead said the seizures were usually induced by stress, and the first time she suffered from one in front of him, "I was very scared and I didn't know what to do." The seizures started in 2000-01 because of the stress related to on going court battles in Texas over her late husband’s estate.

"I intentionally lied when I said I never saw Anna Nicole take prescription drugs, or Howard injecting her. I thought it was what a good friend/bodyguard would say to protect her name," Brighthaupt said.

Sadow questioned the timing of Brighthaupt talking to California Department of Justice Special Agent Santiago. Brighthaupt said he "ducked" Santiago's calls for months after Anna died.
Sadow asked Brighthaupt if the reason why he finally called Santiago back was because two days previously Howard K Stern went on Larry King Live and accused Brighthaupt of stealing from Anna's estate. "I didn't call Santiago back at that time because I was accused of being a thief," Brighthaupt insisted.
