Is this a Surprise to ANYONE??

More than two years after Anna Nicole Smith died from a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs, authorities have filed the first criminal charges – targeting her former attorney and boyfriend, Howard K. Stern.

Stern, 40, a fixture at Smith's side for years who once claimed to be the father of her daughter Dannielynn, has been formally charged with conspiring to furnish drugs to Smith prior to her death, prosecutors said Thursday. He was arrested and booked by police in Whittier, Calif., with bail set for $20,000, police records show.

I always thought he was a little strange and that he was the main culprit in her death. The EMT's that were called to the scene even said that when they had Anna Nicole on the flat board (while performing CPR), her bodyguard was present, but Stern was still in the hotel room (cleaning up maybe?). Her former bodyguard also has said that he witnesses Stern melting down a drug into liquid form and putting it into a syringe to inject Anna with. While he says that it definitely wasn't heroin, he knew it wasn't right.

Another reason why I thought he was wacko was when he was so dead set on saying that he was little Dannielynn's father, when he knew damned well that he had no DNA ties to that child. Forgive me, but Stern has a very pronounced Jewish look, that little Dannielynn was very fortunate NOT to have. Then, when we finally saw Larry Birkhead saying he was the father, it was like a bad episode of Maury like HUH?? Is Howard SERIOUS about being this child's father?? Except the role of the wanna be baby mama ("Look at her Maury!! She has his nose, his lips, and his 6th finger!!) was played by Howard. That's when I knew for sure that he was definitely on drugs. Howard knew of Anna Nicole's prescription drug problems when they met, so he did what any snake would do, and preyed on that to slowly kill her. He also knew ( like the rest of the world) of Anna Nicole's obsession with Marilyn Monroe and how she said that she felt that she would die the same way that Marilyn did, of a drug overdose. So maybe he felt like he was doing her a favor by putting her to death as she wanted??? Crazy.

I hope that Anna Nicole's soul may truly rest in peace now that this secret is out and that this snake of a man can possibly face jail time. But now the question on everyone's (or at least my) mind is : DID HOWARD GIVE THE PRESCRIPTION DRUGS TO ANNA NICOLE'S PREDECEASED SON DANIEL AS WELL???
