Howard K. Stern has just been arraigned on 11 felony charges. The two doctors were arraigned on six. The new ones for Stern include allegations that Stern helped Anna procure opiate prescriptions using aliases.
Prosecutors filed an amended complaint this morning. All three parties have pled not guilty to conspiring illegally to furnish Anna Nicole Smith with controlled substances.
Search warrants suggest that Stern put his name on prescriptions for drugs that were given to Smith, and claim that a total of 44 different medications were prescribed for Smith under a number of other names, including Stern’s.
A preliminary hearing in the case is set for Oct. 5 but the date could change as the result of Wednesday’s status conference among attorneys for the three defendants.
