Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

31246. 31262. 31251. O'Quinn argued he was not working or living in FL, just dropped into that State to defame HKS for purposes of media coverage. The Judge didn't buy it. Case for the Jury in FL.

It has not been determined that the case will be heard in FL by a jury

Unless you have information that no one else has, you have been caught another lie.

As you like to say JUST THE FACTS, not your speculation

31248. As for the federal government having anything over a sovereign nation the case would have to become federal and as far as I know this isn't even close. There aren't even any charges?

The feds are investigating Dr. E. Her prescriptions were in Howie's name. 2+2 = ?
Her medical license has been changed to pending status on-line too. Who knows?

31249.

Taking the pictures to demonstrate her "state of mind coming out of a stupor"? Then use them to have her committed for help, BUT that would have required contacting her legal; next of kin, wouldn't it?

A doctor could knowingly prescribe prescriptions in someone elses name without that person knowing about it. So 2-1 = 1 The Doctor is being investigated

Howard, just like everyone else in Anna's life had to adhere to her wishes or they were OUT OF HER LIFE! Isn't this what Larry and many others found out....her mother & family & a list of others.....Jack H.????? Come one....give me something real

31253. Wow you are stupid and crazy, your honored to be called J. That has to be the worse insult on these blogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No "WOW" just honored to be in the zone, you know I think I know who you are zone, or better yet you have to be so and so zone.

Besides what was back about this J person did they tend to piss you all off, what is the deal with the dog anyway, enlighten me a little, I'm always up for a challenge!

31254. You can't just commit someone because you think they're harming themselves. You can do the things that people are doing to Brittany now...take away something that hurts. And that is what Larry was trying to do with his put bull lawyer..But, it backfired & caused Anna to go deeper into depression. Along with her mother going on a talk show saying her and or Howard killed Daniel. I do NOT understand why some of you just can't see what it was.

31255. Posted at 2:53PM on Oct 4th 2007 by Drama Continues!

Lets see if I can explain so that you can understand (try reading the whole post next time)

Swim in the ocean stated the following:
31254. 31252. 31251. O'Quinn argued he was not working or living in FL, just dropped into
that State to defame HKS for purposes of media coverage. The Judge didn't buy it. Case for the Jury in FL.
It has not been ruled in the case of Stern V O'Quinn that it will be heard in FL by a jury. I
asked him the back-up his statement with fact and not speculation.

Now stop thinking about my panties and butt out of posts DIRECTED at another blogger asking for their facts.

Of course I have not received any facts from Swim, just your rambling about death on a Indian Property. Whole different subject.

31256.
IF repeated photos (trend) show she was harmful to herself (eg aspirating while passed out), she could be over ruled. There is a process.

I could understand before and after photos, BUT follow through!

What kind of people submit to this kind of woman you describe, become her drug courier, her drug dispenser, put up with her day after day and hang around for more of the same? Those after the Marshall Fortune, that's who?
