Wow, this is big breaking news! Howard Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's former lawyer and lover, has finally been charged in connection to her untimely death. Authorities always suspected Stern had something to do with the former model's demise - he's been accused of keeping her drugged on methadone as a way of controlling her and, thusly, her substantial fortune. I'm glad someone continued to pursue this - it took over two years, but it looks like justice might finally be served. Howard, along with doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich have been charged with a total of eight felonies. Stern and Kapoor turned themselves in last night and have been released on bail. Eroshevich has not been located. The story is still developing, but I'm happy to hear of this breakthrough. It's truly criminal what was done to Anna Nicole. I wonder if they'll follow through on charges in regards to her son Daniel as well? The timing of his death has always seemed mighty suspicious![Booking Photos and breaking story via TMZ]
I'm inclined to disagree here. I believe the docs are definitely liable, but I think Howard was just as into drugs as Anna. I also believe he was crazy in love with her. I don't think he was being malicious and trying to keep her doped up for his own sake, but that they both were way out of control, and in it together.
Anna was an abuser of drugs and alcohol regardless of Howard.
We know for a fact that Anna really loved Howard as a friend.
I don't think she would have wanted to see him go to jail for this.
I think he's suffering enough, and that they should just go after the doctors.
