Stern and Others Going to Trial

So, you've probably heard this by now, but:

Howard K. Stern and two doctors WILL stand trial in the 2007 death of Playboy model, Anna Nicole Smith.

Mid-Friday, a California judge made the order after a nearly two week preliminary hearing where several witnesses testified about Anna's drug use.

I coupled on day of it, but it became tiresome, especially because we all know she was a drug addict. There was really no point in rehashing what was already known.

Stern faces 11 felony counts, including dispensing a controlled substance to an addict and obtaining a prescription for opiates by deceit while Anna's two doctors, Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor, each face six felony counts, including unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance to an addict.

The party's over, Stern...This won't end well.

This is just so sad. Stern always did seem sneaky. There was something off about him. Even during the Anna Nichole Show on E! it was obvious he was enabling/using her to live a life he wanted. Sad.

I agree.

Granted, she was a strong-willed person, so I'm not sure if anyone could've stopped her, but certainly -- having more people around her telling her no instead of yes wouldn't have been a bad thing.

Even though she crash and burned, no one can deny that she did become an icon in her own quirky right, so I'll miss her. I just wish she would've gotten some help.

I would've loved it if she would've been able to overcome all of what happened so she could've proved everybody wrong one more time. Oh well, I guess.
