Anna Nicole Smith’s companion, Howard K. Stern, along with her doctor, Sandeep Kapoor, and her psychiatrist, Khristine Eroshevich, are charged with conspiracy. Doctor Sandeep Kapoor and psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich are also looking at charges for prescribing Anna Nicole controlled substances excessively. Knowing of Anna Nicole’s drug addiction they prescribed these drugs to her under fictitous names.
In a news conference in Los Angeles, California Attorney General Jerry Brown detailed the charges that were filed on Thursday stating that “What we have in this case is a conspiracy among three individuals. Howard K. Stern is the principal enabler and Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Kapoor are prescribing drugs excessively to a known addict, using false, fictitious names”.
Doctor Kapoor and Howard K. Stern turned themselves in on Thursday and were released shortly after by posting bail at $20,000. Attorney General Brown said that psychiatrist Eroshevich is expected to turn herself in early next week.
