Howard K Stern Ordered To Stand Trial In Anna Nicole Case
3:30 Friday, October 30, 2009
After a three week preliminary
hearing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert J Perry ruled there is
enough evidence to require Stern, 40, and physicians Khristine
Eroshevich, 61, and Sandeep Kapoor, 41, to stand trial.
They are charged with conspiring to illegally provide controlled substances to Smith. All three have pleaded not guilty.
The decision came after Judge Perry took home a 45-minute video to watch that purportedly showed Anna Nicole under the influence of drugs provided by her lawyer-boyfriend.
After it was announced that the three will stand trial, Anna Nicole Smith's mother Virgie Arthurs said she was 'thrilled' with the court's ruling.
A friend of Virgie revealed: "She is absolutely thrilled with the judge's decision. All she has ever wanted is justice."
Smith, 39, died from an accidental prescription drug overdose on February 8,
2007, after unsuccessful efforts to revive her in a Florida hotel room.
Anna Nicole was a modern day HARLOT who didn't love nor respected anybody, her family, husband, God. She had a huge breast implants, then became addicted to painkillers because of infection and pain and then she died. She made her choices, she chose life of sin. She only wanted fame and money and abused people to get what she wanted. Her daughter will have normal childhood without drugs and immoral behavior.
