AG on Anna Nicole -- "Serious Crime Has Been Committed"

Posted Oct 12th 2007 2:44PM by TMZ Staff

California Attorney General Jerry Brown says that he requested the search warrants executed earlier today in connection with the death of Anna Nicole Smith because, he believes, "a serious crime has been committed."

In a press conference just concluded, Brown didn't divulge specific details of what he was looking for, and what crimes might have been committed, but told reporters that "playing with dangerous drugs" can result in death and "prescribing drugs illegally is a crime," and he suggested people should "put it together."

As TMZ first reported earlier Friday, eight warrants were served today, including one at the home of Smith's former psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, where Howard K. Stern happened to be time at the search. The Medical Board of California is investigating Eroshevich, who ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

16. Why can I never be the lucky one being prescribed a virtual pharmacy of drugs?!? Why is it never me that hits the jack-pot with a virtual pharmacy prescribing doctor? Why?

17. I believe that the AG was smart in taking his time to issue these warrants. I'm sure the State of California wanted to be fairly sure of their position before it made the move official. I remember a video clip of Perper saying that HIS end of the investigation was over but there were other agencies that might be involved with other findings (alluding to the prescription angle). I couldn't remember the website I saw the clip on. Anyone else hear this clip a few months back?

Put Howard K. Stern in jail so he can be a girlfriend to LeRoy.

21. you know the only thing screwed up about Rita's book is this SEX stuff had she left that out we wouldnt be having this conversation and I also believe that Linn Wood has been in contact with many of these people that is why they are not talking.. If you think that lawyer hasnt written hundreds of letter to people think again

23. Rita Crosby has an FBI agent that heard the nannies say there was a video
These nannies are not wealthy people, they would say anything for money.
I don't think this FBI agent has any reason to lie about what he heard.
Back to Anna, I hope they are going to investigate Daniel's death, that poor kid

24. 12. Got TMZ, you have to outline that HKS was THERE!. Why don't you put on your website why - his attorney explained it all, he was just picking up his dogs. Boy, you should change your name to Rita Cosby the second!

25. Are you kidding?? HS got the drug's (BUT, you don't buy drug's for a Junkie!) It doesn't matter if Anna took them herself, and I find that hard to believe..she took them all by herself. It's like an alcholic, he doesn't tend bar after he's sobber...huh? They should have been getting Anna into treatment!!

Oh and I agree...TMZ ENOUGH OF THAT SPOILED BRAT BRITTNEY....

26. This is such total BS. What was the crime? That she was psychologically unstable and overdosed on the drugs prescribed to her? This is called lack of personal responsibility, not a "crime." Give me a break.

27. California Attorney General, Jerry Brown's father named Pat Brown was California's Governor many years ago. He was a very decent human being. No Governor since has been as good. Jerry Brown was California's Governor too. This is good news that somebody at last has the balls to stand up to HK$ and his band of unethical thieves.

Jerry Brown always seemed like flake to me.

Smoking the dope all the time with Linda Ronstadt and her band. He was always trying to make a name for himself.
