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.

91. Lucas, you are losing your mind---again.

What does the two doctors being probed have to do with that lying Taz??

You are one crazy SOB and there isn't anyone who doesn't already know it. Go back to the wacky will site, idiot.

92. Cousing Duffelbags and your inbred relatives. Calm down and stop throwing mud at evidence! Sorry it's our turn to gloat today....you had your turn when Stern got to be executor.

DOJ is involved for a REASON, whatever way you slice it, no one is lying. Too many FACTS!

If you condone drugs and want Stern to be absolved then let the law decide. Either way heinous crimes were committed and now it's time to see justice done. If you are adverse to justice, stay on the EBAY site.

97. STERN rights to be executor of the estate of the woman he killed should be taken away from him.

How can it be possible to grand executorship of a estate to a murderer??? ONLY IN AMERICA AND BAHAMAS SCREWED UP LAWS that protect criminals and are bought with rollex watches and bloody money.

Posted at 5:05PM on Jul 6th 2007 by Stern is the main GUILTY PERSON, he lived with Ana.

98. “You don't know how many times I had to help her and sometimes I didn't know if she was going to live. And they kept bringing more and more drugs in the house,” Birkhead continued. “At times I took her medicine, and I was told by Mr. Stern to give it back to her because she needed it to live.”

99. Levin even went so far as to say it isn't so cut and dried after all--Kapoor may have legally prescribed Methadone during pregnancy.

100. HEY HARVEY HOW ABOUT DERAILLING THE BAD NEW TO INCLUDE YOUR MONEY BLODDY MURDERER STERN AND FLAMING ASS LARRY?.

WE KNOW YOU ARE IN THEIR PAY ROLL AS THE MAIN P.R MEDIA BUT HOW ABOUT JUSTICE YOU MONEY HUMGRY BASTARD. ITS GOOD YOU ARE RAILING IN NEWS OF THE KILLER DOCTORS BUT HOW ABOUT YOUR BOSS MURDERER STERN AND RON RALE???

Posted at 5:10PM on Jul 6th 2007 by Stern is the main GUILTY PERSON, he lived with Ana.

101. I hope some kind of justice is eventually served in this case. I am glad to see these doctors are under investigation. Seems the Horizons house could be kept by Stern....lot of sense that makes. He has squatted there long enough....let the rightful owner have it back. Larry should be smarter about what he has gotten himself and his beautiful child into by siding with HKS. Nothing good can come of that. Hope no one ever sees a dime of the Marshall money because none of these people, including Anna herself, ever deserved any of the old man's money. I hear the inquest hearing is set for July 16....but then again, it has been put off so many times....WHO KNOWS?????

102. It's not about Stern and the DEA it's about the two doctors and the DOJ.

Leave it to antinoids to try and make a connection to this blog from the Taz story on Greta and make Howard the villain once again. HOWARD DID NOT WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS and is NOT BEING PROBED BY DOJ IN CALIFORNIA

Posted at 5:12PM on Jul 6th 2007 by Cousin Duffelbags

103. The doctors who prescribed all tose meds to Anna and Daniel should be put in jail and loose ther medical licence.
