Celebrity Justice
Anna's Drug Use

Posted Feb 21st 2007 4:50PM by TMZ Staff

The judge in the Anna Nicole case has just said he will ask questions about Anna's drug use. Stern just testified Anna "was on prescription medication at different times." The judge asked if she was abusing drugs. Stern replied, "Look I'm not a doctor."

Stern then testified that Anna had been in rehab. He said, "Anna Nicole took prescription medication, mostly for depression."

Stern said, "It's not like Anna was medicated all the time. It's not like she couldn't talk."

The judge just asked about the video FOX obtained that TMZ published, and Stern said "That's the way Anna talks. There are times she was more impared than that." The judge then jumped on Stern and said, "What do you mean more impared than that." Stern said he didn't mean she was impaired.

Stern acknowledged Smith took methadone, "but not in my presence over the last five months." She acknowledged Dr. Sandeep Kapoor in Los Angeles prescribed it. TMZ first reported Kapoor prescribed methadone when Smith was 13 days before giving birth. Kapoor prescribed the drug under an alias.

Stern also acknowledged Smith was taking Dilaudid, a powerful painkiller.

11. Now I am no fan of howard, but what does her drug use have to do with who gets that body and where she is going to be buried?

12. Talk about not wanting to answer the questions.

13. Bring her doctor in. Only her doctor should be answering questions on her private medical history.

What was Anna's intent on where she wanted to be buried? Did she want to be buried in the Bahama's next to her son Daniel - or in Texas next to her money hungry Mommy Dearest?

GET RID OF THIS CLOWN JUDGE. He has attention deficit disorder. Her body is getting worse by the minute and he's going all over the place.
