Howard K. Stern and Khristine Eroshevich did not enter pleas today in Los Angeles County Criminal Court, their arraignment in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case was continued until May 13.

After court Stern’s attorney, Steve Sadow, told reporters:

"Howard is innocent. Let me repeat that, he is innocent."

Sadow also said California Attorney General Jerry Brown should be "ashamed of himself" for using Anna Nicole to further his career."

Stern is probably hoping to get off like Michael Jackson did.

Officials in Florida are now in Los Angeles looking over evidence following the arrest of Howard K. Stern and Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, who are all accused of supplying Anna Nicole Smith with drugs illegally. Ron Ishoy, the spokesman for Ft. Lauderdale State Attorney Mike Satz said:

"Our prosecutors have met with representatives of the Los Angeles district attorney’s office and the California Department of Justice and discussed the evidence they have turned up in their investigation."

"We are now investigating that evidence to see where it might lead in relation to Ms. Smith’s death here in Broward County in 2007."

Legal experts, and I, say that Sunshine State prosecutors may reopen the case if they find evidence that the defendants illegally administered drugs to Smith, which ultimately caused her death. A Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Alec Rose, who is not directly involved in the case, said:

"If what they know is criminal felony conduct lead to the death, then they could be considering whether or not they can bring a secondary murder charge or an involuntary manslaughter charge against any or all of these people."

"It does not matter how much time has gone by since the case closed."

"In most jurisdictions the statute of limitation for murder is unlimited. There’s never a time limit to investigate a charge of murder. A criminal charge can usually be brought in any location where any part of the crime took place."

As I speculated before, it’s possible that Stern and the gang could face murder charges if they are convicted on illegally supplying drugs to Smith, and evidence is found that points to circumstances that Smith died when her death could have been avoided. Stern has proclaimed his innocence all along, but we’ll see what a court says when this is all done.

Howard K. Stern was arrested and charged with 8 felonies related to drugs administered to, prescribed to, and obtained for Anna Nicole Smith who died from a drug overdose. This is Howard’s mug shot. He looks pissed, but the only person that will pay for this treachery is him.

Alongside Howard is the mug shot of former Dr. Sandeep Kapoor on the right, who was also charged with 8 felonies. Khristine Eroshevich was charged with 8 felonies as well, but she’s not pictured.

We’ve got our fingers crossed that these charges lead to a conviction, and if that happens we are hoping a murder investigation, even if it’s manslaughter, is opened and tied to these three.

Below is a bigger mug shot for Howard K. Stern, because one just isn’t enough.

Howard K. Stern says he will turn himself into authorities tonight after being charged with a total of eight felonies. Authorities say Stern was part of a conspiracy to administer and obtain addictive drugs for Anna Nicole Smith.

Besides Stern, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich are being also charged with a total of eight felonies, for their role in obtaining, prescribing, or adminstering drugs to Anna Nicole Smith.

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.

State Attorney General Jerry Brown said:

"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose. There is ample evidence that Doctor Eroshevich and Doctor Kapoor violated their ethical obligations as physicians, while Mr. Stern funneled highly addictive drugs to Ms. Smith."

Stern has denied any wrongdoing.

Let’s see if Stern can weasle his way out of this one.

Howard K. Stern was caught at Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist’s house today when the Justice Department served a search warrant in the investigation of Anna’s death. TMZ reports:

The California Department of Justice began serving search warrants Friday in connection with the death of Anna Nicole Smith. One was served this morning at the home of Anna’s psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, and Howard K. Stern was actually there at the time.

Eight warrants were served altogether, and may be connected to the Department’s investigation of Dr. Eroshevich. Sources say the warrants were served at several businesses connected to Anna’s doctors and at a storage facility.

The Medical Board of California is investigating Eroshevich, who ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

How incriminating is it that Stern is still socializing with someone who might be implicated in Anna’s death? The investigation is just getting started, and Daniel’s death investigation has begun as well. It’s not over till it’s over. The DOJ will hold a press conference at 11:00 AM PST. Stay tuned …
