Mel Gibson‘s lawyers claim to have hard evidence the tapes Oksana Grigorieva secretly recorded have been tampered with and edited, which, if true, would make them inadmissible in a court of law.
The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department will have to authenticate the tapes before sending the case to the D.A.’s Office, and that could take time.
Mel’s lawyers will be presenting evidence to the Sheriff’s Department and among the evidence they will present — that the tapes have been altered. We’re told Mel’s lawyers will present “concrete forensic evidence” of tampering with the tapes, including editing.
Oksana’s attorneys responded, “We are not aware of any presentation Gibson’s lawyers are making, but we are not surprised they would make such unfounded claims.”
Oksana’s lawyers will be in court this morning asking a family law judge to strip Mel of custody of their daughter, using the tapes as evidence Mel is a danger to the child. The authenticity of the tapes will almost certainly be raised by Mel’s attorneys.
A judge will admit tapes into evidence only if someone can authenticate that the tapes are true and correct copies of what was actually recorded.
It probably doesn’t help with the suspicion department, that Mel’s ex-wife Robyn is now publicly supporting Mel.
In other news, a fifth tape has been released:
If you’re mad about all the DAILY Mel Gibson tapes, blame Radar Online. You know they received all of the tapes at once, but elected to release one a day in order to drag it out as long as possible.

Mel Gibson could really use a friend. Especially now that a second tape of his supposedly racist and threatening rants toward his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has been released.
Whoopi Goldberg is the surprising friend stepping up to defend Mel. On The View, Whoopi stated that she knows Mel Gibson is not a racist, and that alcohol is to be blamed for some of his remarks.
Personally, I think she’s right. I think that Mel Gibson has a drinking problem and severe temper control issues. I believe that Mel gets so angry that he literally has no control over the crap that comes pouring out of his mouth. Does that make him a racist? Nope. It does make him a candidate for some good therapy though. Hell, he can afford it, what could it hurt?
People keep saying that when you’re drunk the “real you” comes out. Blow me, idiots. When I’m drunk I lie my ass off, because I don’t give a damn. I will say anything it takes to accomplish my goals, which generally involve more alcohol and/or getting laid. I think that most people are the same way, but are loath to admit it.
It’s easy to sit back and say “Oh, Mel Gibson was drunk when he said those things so the real Mel is a racist that threatens women.” The people that say that are the same people that will use the old “I was so drunk last night, I don’t remember what happened, but it surely wasn’t me!” excuse. Hypocritical douchebags.
Mel Gibson is full of crazy, but that’s not the real problem. The real problem that I see here is his media whore ex-girlfriend leaking the tapes all over the internet as payback for her failed extortion attempt. Look how calm she is on the tapes. She played the man like a fiddle. It’s well known already that she made the tapes without his knowledge and then attempted to sell them to him for an exorbitant amount of money, but is anyone talking about that?
Nope.
She waited six months to contact police over the alleged ass whipping given to her by Mel, but is anyone talking about that?
Nope.
Why isn’t anyone talking about Oksana Grigorieva and her obvious plan to destroy Mel’s career and life? Why isn’t anyone asking questions about the greedy bitch?
Just when you thought you may have heard the last of her, someone goes and lets her talk on a microphone.
Eminem‘s ex-wife has launched a scathing attack against the rap superstar in a new radio interview, describing him as a “horrible person” and dubbing him a flop in bed.
Eminem and Kim Mathers split for good last year (2008), after a second attempt at marriage.
During an interview with Detroit, Michigan station WKQI, Mathers insists another reconciliation is out of the question. She rants,
“I can’t stand him. He’s an absolutely horrible person and he gets worse every day. I vomit in my mouth whenever I’m around him or I hear his name. There’s nothing left in me for him. Nothing at all.
He’s not very well endowed. If you’re going to have sex with Marshall, make sure you have a little blue pill, because otherwise it does not work.”
It couldn’t have nothing to do with her…. nahhhhh! Honey, this isn’t the way to get those support payments increased!
The former couple has a 13-year-old daughter together, named Hailie Jade.
