They should have done this from the get go.
I hope that they can build a murder case against these people.

So much for resting in peace.

Following the arrests of Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer and doctors, officials in Florida are reexamining the circumstances surrounding her death.

Howard K. Stern and Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich were busted earlier this month for allegedly supplying Smith with illicit drugs.

"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," says Ron Ishoy, the spokesman for Ft. Lauderdale State Attorney Mike Satz.

"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 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.

"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," says Los Angeles criminal defense attorney Alec Rose, who is not directly involved in the case.

It does not matter how much time has gone by since the case closed, explains Rose.

"In most jurisdictions the statute of limitation for murder is unlimited," he says. "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."

There was no comment from either the Los Angeles district attorney or California attorney general's office on the Florida probe.

Stern, Kapoor and Eroshevich were charged with felony conspiracy to furnish drugs to Smith and prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict. They are currently free on bail and have proclaimed their innocence.

"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said earlier this month.

"There is ample evidence that Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Kapoor violated their ethical obligations as physicians, while Mr. Stern funneled highly addictive drugs to Ms. Smith."

Good...If they were feeding her the drugs,(and we know they were)..They should be charged!

Amen to that.

did u see the vids howard stern was making with her, her makeup all smeared and she was pushing a baby carriage and soooo 'lost'... at one point you can hear him laugh and say 'this should/might be worth some money'... i wanted to strangle him...

Exactly Syd..

Yes I did, I wanted to hit him w/a very very heavy object. And then when he allowed her to be on video in the Bahama's and the interview I think w/ET...He's just a sick low life.

Yeah that was pretty disgusting! I mean she is responsible for her behavior...But I wouldnt let my worst enemy be taped in that condition let alone someone I supposedly loved...Nor would I laugh or let them get in that condition in my presence...Forkin as s hole!

I'm glad they are "re-investigating" .. there is something rotten in Denamrk with this situation FOR SURE!!

He just always look sleazy.

I agree Syd, she was responsible for her own behaviour and such, however, I think @ a certain point it was no longer in her control and I think he took massive advantage of the situation and instead of helping her, he worsened the situation 10 fold.

Sort of reminds me of some of the low life's in Elvis circle @ the end. Some of them were featured in E True Hollywood Story.

gasp, you're right!!!!!

I've not heard any updates on this, anyone know what's becoming of this?

me either I was wondering.

Last I heard, the jackles were arrested. I so hope they get what they deserve and more! It was disgusting to watch how they publicly used her and then finding out they fed her even more drugs while she was with child. Oh and don't even get me started on how Howard staged that whole "Marriage" thing in the Bahamas with her...greedy SOB!! I also think the babies real father had something to do with setting Anna up and how he is STILL making money off her and now the little one...SICK F'ukr!!

I wish they'd give an update...yes last I heard they'd been arrested and I think he posted bail and then notta.

They all plead not guilty at the arraignment...They are awaiting trial now I believe...Or deciding whether it will go to trial or plead down...We wont hear anything until the DA makes its case.

I hope they dont keep everything hush hush...God knows they publically exploited the he ll outta poor Anna.

Gawd i am sooo glad that they are investigating it

and i am glad even more so that Birkhead is the daddy to that lil girl!!!
