Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend / lawyer Howard K. Stern, 40, (no, not that Howard Stern) as well as two doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, 40, and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 61, have been charged with conspiracy to provide the former Playboy Playmate with thousands of prescription pills before her 2007 fatal overdose at the age of 39.Anna Nicole Smith was famous not just for her Playboy pics, but also for her marriage to oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, who died in 1995 at the age of 90 after just a year of marriage to Smith.
California Attorney General Jerry Brown said:
"What we have in this case is a conspiracy among three individuals. Howard K. Stern is the principal enabler. Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Kapoor are prescribing drugs excessively to a known addict and using false and fictitious names all in violation of the law and all in furtherance of a conspiracy. This was done knowingly and it’s done with tragic consequences."Authorities said that charges against the above three include conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict (yes, in case you didn't know that about Anna Nicole Smith).
The prescriptions were issued between June 2004 and January 2007. Anna Nicole Smith died on Feb. 8, 2007.
Stern initially claimed he was the father of Dannielynn, Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, but later gave up custody of the girl after DNA tests proved Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead was the father.
Dannielynn is the focus of much, er, monetary attention. She is the sole heir of her Anna Nicole Smith's estate, with Birkhead and Stern as co-trustees. If the estate wins an ongoing court fight over the oil fortune of the aforementioned J. Howard Marshall II, Dannielynn could inherit millions of dollars.
