Shocking news! It looks like Anna Nicole Smith was murdered by Howard K. Stern!

Today, Howard K. Stern and her two doctors, Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, were charged with conspiracy to furnish drugs to the former Playboy playmate before she died of an overdose in 2007.

According to reports, L.A. DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says the “three also were charged with other felonies including obtaining fraudulent prescriptions and unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 2004 and January 2007, just two weeks before Smith’s death.

Story developing.

Ditto. I knew he had something to do with it, but I never actually thought that he'd get busted for it.

^ Exactly my thoughts...$20k seems a little low for bail though

How are they charging him with "unlawfully prescribing", how can a lawyer write a prescription? Am I missing something?

KrisNine · March 12th, 2009, 11:42 PM

I'm totally shocked...I never thought this would happen.

Three men were charged with providing Anna Nicole Smith with controlled substances before her death, authorities said today.

The California attorney general's office and the L.A. County district attorney's office said that two doctors, Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor, and Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Smith, "repeatedly and excessively" furnished drugs to the actress and model, who died in 2007.

"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," Attorney General Jerry Brown said in a statement. "There is ample evidence that Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Kapoor violated their ethical obligations as physicians, while Mr. Stern funneled highly addictive drugs to Ms. Smith."

According to a statement released by Brown's office, the three allegedly "furnished thousands of prescription pills to Ms. Smith, including opiates, benzodiazepines, and other controlled and non-controlled substances."

Brown accused the doctors of falsifying prescriptions and Smith of "obtaining, delivering and administering these prescription drugs."
