Celebrity Justice
Daniel's Death Officially Ruled Accidental

A jury in the Bahamas investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel has ruled it was caused by an accidental drug overdose, recommending no criminal charges be filed.


This verdict is huge because of what the jury didn't say -- that Howard K was responsible for the death.

The jury unanimously concluded Daniel died from "non-dependent drug use" -- meaning he wasn't addicted to what killed him.

33. I believe Howard S. , his lawyer partner,jeff fieger , & Jack K.(Dr. Death) would make a good law firm because they insist on people's desire to commit suicide.
But overall Howard S. got away with a criminal act ---

34. Well, I am slightly surprised at this. I guess this means all the problems are solved for Howard right? He is home free now? So what is next? The doctors who over prescribed in California? Is it time to indict them yet? What about his lawsuit with Rita Cosby?

Howard, my hat is off to you. I accept their verdict.

Howard K. Stern IS NOT innocent. He just didn't get caught. He got rid oft he evidence.

Daniel and Anna will never rest in peace knowing Howard got away with murder twice. They will haunt him forever.

37. 25. For all you haters, accidents do happen. This is why you need to know what your kids are into. And keep track of YOUR meds. because alot of kids are getting into them and getting busted, or dying. That is a big problem in the U.S., everybody wants to blame someone else for what the kids do instead of the kids.

A voice of reason. How refreshing.

Do you think attitudes will change when it happens to one of their own?

38. Does the Bahamma's just pull a dozen strangers off the street to be a jury, like America?

As far as I am concerned, the ruling is a crock.

40. Daniel is a big boy and I don't think anyone made him take those drugs! This ruling is perfect and now he can rest in peace as it was his time to go!

41. Stop and think about this for a minute...Anna Nicole has been doing drugs for years and year, she was stoned all the time on camera, let ALONE at her own house with nobody loolking. If Daniel was going to accidentally overdose, wouldn't it have been alot sooner, in his own home, with all those drugs floating around rather that the same day he gets to the Bahamas to see his mother and new sister? Come on! And they keep forgetting about what he told the private detective. Something stinks in the Bahamas, and it ain't the fish!

What evidence did he get rid of? The only person I saw getting rid of any possible evidence is GBT/FS, that went and STOLE and manipulated photos/videos from Horizons IMMEDIATELY when ANS passed.

What evidence is gone???????
