Howard K. Stern won't cut a deal with the D.A. in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case, and sources tell us the only reason he'll plead not guilty is because there's no such thing as a plea of innocent.
Our sources say Stern will show up in court for his scheduled arraignment today, but the matter will likely be continued. But when he does enter a plea it will be a loud "not guilty" to all felony drug and conspiracy charges.
This case is the opposite of Chris Brown's, where Mark Geragos and the prosecutor are wheeling and dealing. We're told Stern wants a fight to the end, because he believes he did absolutely nothing wrong.
The arraignment is set for 8:30 AM PT, and, of course, we'll be live streaming.
Stay tuned ...

So much Lin Wood typical spin and hype. Straight out of the Ramsey case, and where is the "real killer" there Lin? I doubt the DA would EVER offer sleazy Stern any deal.

And oh yeah, a typical PR farce is what Lin needs since the case may be re-opened in Florida, where Stern and his disgusting cohorts could face AT LEAST manslaughter charges.

Just look at that pig. He looks high. He obviously had to keep Anna high just to do him. He's just nasty. He has slithered away long enough. OJ....move over, you have a new cell mate.

Lin can always pull the man his own team brought to law enforcement's attention, John Mark Karr, to take the rap for Howie too.

Anyone who watched the reality show with Anna and Howards, knows that Howard was Anna/s puppet, and he seemed to really love Anna.

You people are like wolves...this man was only guilty of loving some drugged up chick. She was hot and could make him do anything for her, now the wench left him behind while he has to fight the accusations. I actually feel sorry for Howard. His guilt was enabling a drugged up ho.
