Howard K Stern Seen Injecting Anna Nicole Smith “Four Or Five Times”
Posted on Oct 14, 2009 @ 04:19PM
Howard K. Stern was caught in a bathroom burning a pill over a spoon in order to inject Anna Nicole Smith, according to her former bodyguard.
Maurice Brighthaupt took the witness stand in the case again Stern and two other doctors and revealed how he saw him inject his client on a number of occasions.
And he even saw Smith gulping Chloral Hydrate - one of the substance which killed her - straight from the bottle.

"I saw him inject Anna maybe four or five times," Brighthaupt told the courtroom in Downtown Los Angeles.
"I saw her trying to give herself an injection too."
On one occassion in the Bahamas in 2006 just after her son died, Brighthaupt claims he walked in on Stern preparing to inject Smith.
"There was a burned spoon," he told Judge Robert J Perry. "Anna was in the bedroom. When I walked in it was in the middle of being burned. "I saw him drawing up liquid from the spoon, it being cooked. I saw, lighter, spoon, heat, liquid, withdrawl."
He also admitted it was in pill form before being burned and claimed Stern told him he was doing it this way because Smith could not swallow the tablets and it would be "ingested quicker" directly into the blood stream.

Brighthaupt said he knew Smith was taking Chloral Hydrate but that the way she was administering it became out of control.
He also claimed when he went to see her in the Bahamas in 2006 following the death of her son, Daniel, she was swigging the medication straight from the bottle.
"At the beginning she would use a spoon," he told the court. "I saw her use a spoon maybe twice. Then it was bottle to mouth. A gulp."
He also revealed how Smith had deteriorated into a state of depression in the Bahamas.

"She was somber. She was sick. She was out if it," he admitted. "She spent a lot of time sleeping. She had just lost her son and she was in mourning. So she was always in bed."
During the testimony, Stern shook his head and bit his fingernails while taking notes.
The other two doctors, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor and Dr. Khristina Eroshevich - who are also accused of administering drugs to an addict - looked directly ahead at the witness stand.
As Stern left the courthouse he was asked what he thought about the witnesses statements to which he simply replied, "Just wait."
The preliminary hearing will continue tomorrow when Larry Birkhead is expected to take the stand.

Howard was Anna's attorney. With all her lawsuits it had to be a full time job. I have not heard anyone ask if she ever paid him anything, He said he was broke when she died. He would be a millionaire had he charged her. Maybe she was using him!!

Stern is a maggot living off the excrement of Anna Nicole's drug addiction. He needs to go down to send a message to all s****bags.

She may have been a drug addict but he enabled her the whole time. A "free ride" was what it was all about and to say he loved her is mistaking his true intentions. He could control her and use her and that is what he did.

Anna was a drug addict. Plain and simple. This is how she wanted to live her life. It's no one else's fault.

Howard Stern is a typical "yes" person that surrounds celebrities. They do whatever or say whatever they have to to keep in the "inner circle" and living off the celebrity, even if they know it's wrong or is dangerous. It's about the money..

It is awful what Howard Stern has had to go through. He truly loved Anna. & would have done anything to keep her happy & not depressed after her son died. Had it not been for him, she would have died even sooner

I have always thought Howard had EVIL in his eyes. He took Anna Nicole to The Bahamas to keep her from her son, Larry, and all friends.
