Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

30076. And you don't recognize filth and religious lunacy perpetrated on a public blog to the applause of SOME (not all) antinoids.

AND you don't recognize lies.

30077. Intimidation will get you nowhere fast. Where has it EVER gotten any of you?

Can't deal with the content of topical posts? TOUGH.

Now have your regular go at while defending Spector Trial Jury Foreman and the intrinsic value of all those posts addressed speciifcally to STERN SUPPORTER (by name). Start the speculation, the theorizing, the bizarre hypotheticals, the twisting and distorting and eventually come full circle back to the CRUSHED METHADONE THEORY (placed in the 'food' of Daniel Smith).

LOL

Have a great day folks!

Thank you DWAU for promoting intelligent debate and FACT FINDING research ... we will continue to ASK QUESTIONS ... and DIG for answers (not spoon fed to us by the likes of Art Harris) .....we will keep the pressure on .... keep demanding FULL investigations into the deaths of Anna and Daniel ... we will not let interest wane ... we will not be deterred or sidetracked .... thank you for your road maps to further research.

30080. Funny you should mention Evian. I caught that one and it is of significant historical importance and refers to the Evian Conference in France, 1938.

Thanks for getting me off with something of worth to think about even though you accidentally stumbled on something I could word-associate with.

30083. Is anyone else getting hungry for BBQ pig, texas style?

30084. I love a good Texas-style barbecue! Not such a big fan of pork though....

If Texas is bbq-in', though, I'll try the pig.

30085. Let the inquest sort out some of the facts and then we can all talk! If there is nothing to hide and no liability of any individuals in the demise of Daniel then all parties should be happy to get on with this inquest. If someone has things to hide, then they would not want any further investigation.

Posted at 11:00AM on Sep 30th 2007 by Camera Ready

I agree completely. There are TOO many facts of the case that we do not know and won’t until the inquest is complete.

Can I still come to the BBQ, I can marinate tofu or chicken instead of pig, right?

30087. Hey, DWAU, do you think the sperm donor agreement is on the harddrive of HKS' laptop, which the FBI now has? Do you think Byron might have had access to Larry's copy of the agreement? Opri can give testimony that she was told about this agreement, right? What about the other men who might have signed a similar sperm donor agreement .... Mark Hatten ... Alex Denk .... the prince .....

30088. ". There should not even have been any court proceeding based on Stern's petition!


Page 8 -
Like Arthur and Stern, Birkhead has vested insterests in this proceeding.


Here the Judge admits that all parties have financial interest in the proceedings, yet only chastises Vergie for it in his ruling.

Agree with Seidlin on this one Trainwreck. Her intentions about the $$ were OBVIOUS. Dannielynn would receive monies regardless of anything. Larrry [as parent] and HKS [as executor] will be controlling and protecting DL’s $$. Their financial interest is completely different and I am so glad the WORLD watched and saw Virgie’s intentions.

I also believe Virgie filed a request after HKS did, AS WELL Milstein filed on behalf of DannieLynn. The court proceeding would have gone on regardless.

30090. Dear Dr. E (ahava) - for your reading pleasure from Wikipedia:

The public tends to believe that the insanity defense is used more often than it actually is, possibly because insanity defense cases tend to be of a high-profile nature. The insanity plea is used in the U.S Criminal Justice System in less than 1% of all criminal cases, and only one fourth of those defendants are found "not guilty by reason of insanity".
