Anna Nicole Inquest -- Daniel Did Drugs

Larry Birkhead has just testified in the Bahamas in the inquest involving the death of Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole's son. Some of the testimony about drugs is pretty shocking.


Birkhead testified that in April 2006, Anna realized some of her Methadone was missing in her Studio City home. Birkhead said Anna had surveillance cameras in the house, checked them and found video proof that Daniel and his buddies were the culprits.

While Birkhead was under oath, he was asked about statements he made to the cops back in 2006, when he was at war with Anna. He had told police he saw Howard K. Stern smoke pot with Anna and Daniel. During his testimony, Birkhead said he was not completely clear on what he saw.

UPDATE: Birkhead also told cops Anna had given Daniel Ecstasy, but on the stand Birkhead said he couldn't say this actually happened.

Birkhead said Daniel's personality completely changed between January 2006 and May. He saw Daniel throw a TV through a window. Daniel often stayed out all night long and Anna was worried.

Also, Daniel was admitted to an L.A. hospital for misuse of valium in mid July, 2006.

Howard K. testifies tomorrow.

46. Since none of us really knew Danial Smith... How can we say he was an angel? He probably used drugs on his own.. lots of young people do. I see no reason for Larry or Howard to lie... Maybe to lie when the kid was alive so he would not get in the press as a drug user, but not to lie after his death. Howard K Stern isn't even in the will... Larry Birkead is the legitimate father. In my opinion it is Virgie. She had no part in Anna's or Daniel's life for years and now she wants to take the child. I don't think that was the intention of Anna Nichole. Larry is a good father.. Don't fault the guy.

47. Daniel was abusing Valium just weeks before his death, his medical records prove that. I don't know why it's such a stretch to think he could have been abusing other meds. He grew up watching his mother pop pills.

Where's your link proving that Daniel KNOWINGLY abused drugs just weeks before his death? If you don't have any such link, stop sullying him - he's dead thanks to your hero and can't defend himself against rumours.

50. Birkhead testified that in April 2006, Anna realized some of her Methadone was missing in her Studio City home.

++++++++++How does Birkhead know that, was he there?

Birkhead said Anna had surveillance cameras in the house, checked them and found video proof that Daniel and his buddies were the culprits.

++++++++++++Where's the alleged videotape?

While Birkhead was under oath, he was asked about statements he made to the cops back in 2006, when he was at war with Anna. He had told police he saw Howard K. Stern smoke pot with Anna and Daniel. During his testimony, Birkhead said he was not completely clear on what he saw.

++++++++++Selective memory because Birkhead was doing drugs himself.

Birkhead said Daniel's personality completely changed between January 2006 and May. He saw Daniel throw a TV through a window. Daniel often stayed out all night long and Anna was worried.

++++++++++++Where are the receipts proving a window was replaced from this alleged incident?

Also, Daniel was admitted to an L.A. hospital for misuse of valium in mid July, 2006.

++++++++++++Where's a link proving Daniel KNOWINGLY misused valium in mid July 2006?

51. How much money do I make for giving this testimony? Watch me porn my daughter to every mag for money! Watch me pimp myself to the paps at Ivy, Kitson, etc.

52. So, Larry knew Anna was a drug addict, and a bad parent, but still wanted to have a child with her?????

LA court rules on computer search in Anna Nicole Smith drug probe
By RAQUEL MARIA DILLON Associated Press Writer
Article Launched: 03/17/2008 11:46:56 AM PDT

LOS ANGELES—A Los Angeles judge has issued a ruling on a search of a computer seized from a psychiatrist in an investigation of drug prescriptions issued to Anna Nicole Smith after her overdose death last year.

An attorney for Dr. Khristine Eroshevich sought Monday to have the computer returned to avoid compromising the privacy of other patients.

But after a hearing in chambers, Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler ruled that a court officer will use a special program to search the computer and turn over any relevant doc *** uments to investigators.

Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in Florida in February 2007.

In October, California Department of Justice agents raided homes and offices of doctors who prescribed drugs to the former Playboy Playmate.

Well I sure hope they brought that tape to court or else it's just hearsay.

************************** excuse me but did i miss something? when did the daniel Smith inquest become the Anna Nicole Inquest????

58. Unfukinbelievable, Larry the baby-pimp. Anna and Daniel are dead, so the truth is now irrelevant, right? You may as well take what you can of Howard K(iller) Stern's leftovers: the baby, the money, the "fame (if you can call it that)." This is all on public record, for your baby girl to read one day -- if she lives long enough, and then, if she stays sober long enough. What a disgusting example of a father. When is enough destruction really "enough"?

59. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE ... NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE. STERN GOT AWAY WITH DOPING ANNA TO CONTROL HER. HE IS STILL IN CONTROL AND LIVING IN HER BAHAMAS HOUSE. ALL THE FUSS IN CALIFORNIA ABOUT THE DOCTORS WHO PRESCRIBED DRUGS TO ANNA IN DIFFERENT NAMES HAS COME TO NOTHING. SOUNDED GOOD AT THE TIME BUT THEY WILL WALK!

His medical records were brought into the inquest. He was hospitalized for abusing Valium. If you consider the truth sullying then you need to pull your head out of your ass.
