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.

30091. It's ok. You don't have to eat the pig to watch the roast. I guess it's time to let the pig conserve its energies and get nice and fat.

30096. 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.

Although I enjoy your rath, and wit ,at times, I would guess you will not make many friends insulting the BIG state of Texas, everyone is not Trailer Trash..as you stated!!! The 20th largest city in the Nation is quite beautiful, and a few hidden trailer parks...at best
Shouldn't the working class people live where they can afford to? Or are you better than everyone else...a very sorted comment.
Not true

30094. So, back to you, Cleo: Yes, We HATE Virgie! Know why? Because she's fat! Because Howard says she wants the baby's inheritance! Because she is from Texas and we all know that all Texans live in trailers! AND! She brings PLASTIC FLOWERS TO A GRAVE!!


There are some very crude ass++les amongst us...you must live some very sheltered lives if you think everyone in Texas lives in a trailer, what state do you live in...bet you are guilty of what you preach.....

30095. You two continue with your ignorant ass dribble concerning O'quinn's reply, he states " He was also entitled to state his clients opinion of Stern and that he, himself, agreed with that opinion".

You need to have some one read and comprehend it for you apparently.

*****
I don't need help. You quote one line out of context. Immediately following your one line, O'Q's Lawyer goes on to say O'Q was voicing pure opinion and/or rhetorical hyperbole and not verifiable facts. i.e. he was deliberately lying. He goes on to describe that no one would have mistaken his rhetorical hyperbole as factual. (pages 8 & 9)

You need to read the entire filing, possibly with a dictionary at hand.

30096.

I hope the truth will come out as to whether Barrets was a psychiatrist and when was he asked to "treat" Anna. Was it before or after E's alleged failed attempt to get drugs through kapoor (fax). What drugs did Barret's prescribe? What date? Why is perper listing him as a psychiatrist IF he is not?

...What you have done is given some possible insight into how everyone interacted and possibly keys to the motivation of the players.

Yours is the first post I was greeted with this morning. What a nice surprise! It's always nice to receive a compliment, even if it is under a "cloak of anonymity."

Yes, I'm hoping my being here will serve some meaningful purpose. I feel sometimes like the sower of a garden, with a handful of seeds and no particular plan for a flower bed. Instead, I just toss out the seeds and see what will take root and grow. I can try to control the sun and the rain, but I am always at the mercy of the elements. I never know what I might find in the garden from day to day: a burst of color or a dry bed, choked with weeds.

I lend my voice here because I believe my perspective, the small details I am able to toss out there, just may add new color to the garden or change it somehow so that it can be seen in a new light. Sort of like what you said. "Some possible new insight." Things that may not have been considered before.

I suppose I'm just like all of you. I just want to understand what happened -- like our friend, Det. Columbo said in an earlier post, "To get my head around it." It's just so incredible. So unbelievable. So surreal. Who would have known, just over a year ago, that I would be sitting here, in my parlor, typing to a room full of strangers about Anna and Dan's deaths? And that Howard would be in the Bahamas (of all places!), under a cloud of suspicion for causing their deaths, and that Larry would be out there, WITH A BABY, and that they'd all be caught in lawsuits, and famous for all the wrong reasons. It's heartbreaking.

And, of course, the other reason we're doing this is out of fear that the inquest isn't going to tell us anything. I'm sorry, but I think the Bahamian government is pathetic. I'm so jaded by its lack of competency and modern ingenuity that I question whether their system can be trusted to handle this case with the care and diligence it deserves.

Nonetheless, the inquest appears to be the only avenue right now. We can only hope, with all that testimony, we can figure it all out for ourselves. Right?

No clue what you are talking about??

Since we don’t communicate with each in secret forums, ‘regroup’ monthly meetings nor private emails, how the heck would we know what the other is doing? BUT, Copy & Paste doesn’t exactly fit our ‘profile’ from past experience : )

I'm sure you do know what they are talking about. It it the same thing you pulled on QV with Rose and Havana. You're just mad cuz you weren't invited hahaha

Did you have a personal relasionship with daniel and did you know that daniel talked to private investigator jack harding about being deathly afraid of howard k stern and wanting to get his mother away from him ???

Posted at 1:41AM on Sep 30th 2007 by justice for vikkie lynn
===============================================

What I dont get about this PI is why change his story from 'PERSONS' associating with his mother and 'ASSOCIATES' taking advantage of her......to Howard Stern, after her death?!

Also if Ray Martino was the one who referred Daniel to Harding, wouldnt he also know if Daniel was in fear of Stern? Therefore if Martino knew of Daniels fear, wouldnt this be important to bring out in his interview for the Investigative Report?

Posted at 4:58AM on Sep 30th 2007 by Lynda



Oh, you figured it out, all right. Harding met with Dan once, that we know of, and he agreed to meet with him only because he was Anna Nicole Smith's son. And essentially, all Harding told him was, "Beat it, kid. I got bigger fish to fry."

And, like the proverbial fisherman who tells the tale of the one that got away, each time he tells it, the fish keeps get bigger and bigger. We found out that Harding may not have even graduated high school. He either has no diploma, or he got his GED.

I never knew Dan to be "terrified" of Howard. Rather, Dan was extremely upset that his mom was going to up and leave CA and leave him behind. You have to understand, he was REALLY upset.

As a whole, though, the older Dan got, the more distant he became -- from all of us. But I wouldn't call that strange behavior. He also started exploring his artistic and creative side, and that tends to put you in a world of your own.

Dan saw a lot of weird things growing up; more than a sensitive kid like him should have seen. No son should have to find out that his mother nearly ODed the night before. But, perhaps because his mom always recovered from these near death episodes, he seemed to learn how to take it in stride. But I think, deep down, it bothered him. I know it really bothered him to see his mom in pain all the time.

For example, when Anna had the liposuction done, one procedure right after the other, she was absolutely beside herself in pain. I remember Dan asking her one time, "Why do you keep doing this to yourself?" and her answer was, "It's showbiz, honey."

I know of two incidents that affected Dan in a profound way and they both involved Mark Hatten. The first one I'm kind of sketchy about because I had already left the house when it supposedly happened and it wasn't discussed much. Mark was essentially dead of alcohol poisoning or drug intoxication after a night of partying and Dan saw Howard giving him a shot. Apparently, it was something to counteract the effects of whatever it was Mark had taken (this is according to Anna). Dan was there when Mark came to. When Mark accused Howard of trying to kill him, (even if Dan didn't believe Mark) it still scared the bejesus out of Dan. Mark warned, concerning Howard, "If he doesn't like you, he can make you disappear."

The next episode was Mark's arrest. Dan cried that day. Howard didn't like Mark. And Mark disappeared.

There are other incidents, of course, but none as traumatic. As okay as Dan seemed with the world around him, the human psyche can only handle so much -- especially when that psyche is in the body of a young, developing teenage boy. As a consequence, Dan had anger management issues and started taking anti-depressants to control his outbursts.

Up until Anna died, I had no idea that all of her scripts were in Howard's name, so I never associated Harding with the drugs. But if Dan knew, maybe he was taking it to Harding to investigate. Dan was upset enough about Anna's leaving to do that, I think, especially because he knew that Howard had arranged it.

30100. Jury foreman is the stupidest antinoid ever.They have finaly crossed the line here.

Posted at 3:50PM on Sep 30th 2007 by HAHAHAHA

30101. No amount of blogging and conjecture can ever CHANGE that fact--two autopsies were done and both came to the same conclusion. Pending toxicology reports were forwarded to Dr. Wecht in his UNOFFICIAL CAPACITY and were privately done--which only verified the death from accidental drug OD--naming more drugs in Daniel's system which did NOT play a part in his cardiac arrest.

Well, then, I guess there's no need for an inquest, is there? Call the Bahamian authorities. I'm sure they'll be thrilled with the news.

30102. The Delusional Walk Among Us
I want to believe everything you say, but you need to understand we have been fooled many, many times. If you don't mind I'd like to ask you a few questions.
1. If you are serious about your close connection to all the players in this saga, why does Howard allow you to share with us what you have? You stated you were one of 5 friends Howard could not remove from Anna's life. So it would have to be fairly easy for him to figure out who you are..correct?
2.Have you talked to Howard since Anna died?
3. Have you ever considered writting a book?
4.Will we ever know who you are?
Thank you!

30103. 30037. Delusional,
I will post the entire time-line but I have to do it in segments otherwise my new BF Ivan will get his panties in a twist about long post. I would really (emphasis on really) appreciated any more questions that you believe need to be answered concerning the death of Daniel. If you need any further information you can post your request here and we will try to answer it.

Thanks a mill, Cagney. I'm sure I'll take you up on that. I'm looking forward to seeing the timeline of events that occurred the day before. Thank you again!

i have read all your posts. am curious as to who you are as somethings fall within the research that i have done. you see i think not of anna but of vickie; a mother, a daughter, a niece, an aunt, and a grandaughter. the same with daniel, he was s son, a grandson, a cousin. they were both human beings. no matter their lifestyle in latter years they deverve all the justice and the investigations that are available to them. i truly dont believe that this has transpired with all the manipulation that has taken place. there are many of us that have stayed together to try and achieve this. we feel that things were never looked into properly and were rushed to make it all go away. but it hasnt and we just pray that soon things will come to light in these two deaths that should of not been......
