Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor (above right) and Khristine Eroshevich are being charged with a total of eight felonies.

Sandeep Kapoor: Click to watchAccording to the L.A. County D.A., the conspiracy counts allege the three defendants conspired to furnish controlled substances to Smith between July, 2004 and January 2007.

Stern and Kapoor were charged with one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance. Eroshevich and Stern were charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 2004 and January 2007.

Kapoor and Eroshevich were each charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." They were both also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address.

Kapoor and Stern were also charged with one count of "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict." Eroshevich was charged with the same crime for separate prescriptions.

Bail is recommended at $20,000 for each defendant. We know both Stern and Kapoor bailed out Thursday night.

As we first reported, California drug officials recently raided the Los Angeles office of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, looking for evidence against Stern.

Stern has denied doing anything illegal in connection with drugs and Anna Nicole.

The pictures below -- obtained by TMZ -- were taken in Anna Nicole's bedroom in the Bahamas, shortly after she died. It was stocked with methadone (5 mg per 5 ml), along side Slim-Fast. The Slim-Fast is ironic since Anna was a TRIMSPA spokesperson.

TMZ had obtained docs showing that 13 days before Anna Nicole Smith gave birth to Dannielynn, Dr. Kapoor wrote a prescription for methadone. It was written to Michelle Chase, an alias Anna used.

31. IT'S ABOUT TIME! ATLEAST ANNA & HER SON WILL HAVE SOME KIND PEACE (RIP) I AM VERY PROUD OF OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM, I THOUGHT ANNA WAS FORGOTTON (NO, I NEVER APPROVED OF HER LIFESTYLE) BUT NO-ONE DESERVES TO DIE THE WAY SHE & HER SON DID. ANY PERSON WHO ALLOWS OR HELPS ANYONE STAY ON DRUGS OR ALCOHOL IS NOT A FRIEND. I ALSO WONDER ABOUT DANNIELYNN? SHE SHOULD BE RAISED BY ANNA NICOLE'S MOTHER, (AFTER ALL, LARRY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP ANNA EITHER) I HAVE PRAYED FOR JUSTICE FOR ANNA, ESPECIALLY HER SON (MAY THE BOTH REST IN PEACE) ! I STILL BELIEVE LARRY IS INVOLVED TOO (AFTER ALL, HE IS STILL HANGING OUT WITH HOWARD K STERN) I HOPE THEY INVESTIGATE LARRY TOO. I THINK EVERYTHING WAS PLANNED YEARS AGO & I HOPE THAT SOMEONE FINALLY TELLS THE TRUTH... GOD BLESS ANNA'S PARENTS & DAUGHTER.

33. Huge news -- finally some sort of justice for Anna Nicole & Daniel. Didn't Stern say he during the Judge Larry file that he never bought drugs for Anna Nicole? And Larry Birkhead always said Stern brought a duffel bag full of drugs to Anna in the hospital. SO SO MANY things point to these Howard and both Dr's., but DENY, DENY, DENY.

The bail is $20,00 for each one of these people. Hmmmmm, Howard couldn't even buy a pair of shoes for himself, he admitted to a very low income in Judge Larry's Court. His client is dead and he hasn't had much work since her murder (ooops, I mean her suicide) Let's see where he will come up with $20K for bond. Oh yeah, his parents are helping him financially - almost forgot.

With his client buried in the Bahamas - the island Howard vowed to never leave after Anna died, he left pretty quickly and has lived in LA since. The scumbag even became a squatter in the Bahama homeowner's estate.
what happened the night Daniel died of an overdose in the Bahama Hospital while visiting his newborn sister and his mother. And explain the bruises on Daniel's body, and the PILLS IN HOWARD's hospital bed!

What do you think about that "Only Swims in the Ocean" ?????

35. Come on people! He didnt shove anything down her throat. She was so heartbroken about Daniels death, I think she died inside waaaay before her heart stopped beating. If hes guilty, then I wish the harshest punishment, but lets see what happens first. This IS America and he is innocent until hes proven guilty. The way the world is right now, we should all have kinder hearts and just get through it all without wishing bad htings to one another.

39. THANK GOD! This no good creep WHO CARRIED THE DRUG DUFFLE BAG and the government is alleging WHAT WE ALREADY KNEW, it wasn't Anna calling the drug docs, it was sleazy Howard. I post on the JonBenet Ramsey case, and am laughing about their mutual libel lawyer LIN WOOD, defednign this sleazbag, and trying to get settlement deals for libel against this evil jerk. CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST. BYE HOWARD.

44. Good news. I wonder why a man would let a pregnant woman take drugs under his watch. Well, I cannot prove it but it was like 100 % that she will loose that baby and he knew that. About Daniel? how that boy die just like that and had in his body the same drugs that Anna use to take? this whole thing always stinks to me..
If he is guilt of all this diabolic thing I hope he goes to jail and never get out. I hope Daniel gets justice.
Shame on the father's baby that always knew about this drugs stuff and now is friend with Stern :(
I hope them don't forget that what is going around comes around... Karma is a bitch you all

45. The video (that we've all seen) pf her with the clown make-up and totally out of it has to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen. He was filming it apparently. Aside from the fact that she was pregnant at the time (can you"aside" that??), money was obviously made off of it. Who would have benefited? Give ya two guesses...
