Statement From CA AG Brown Regarding Warrants In Connection With Anna Nicole Smith

the Department of Justice, today, served search warrants at various doctors offices, billing locations and residences in Los Angeles and Orange County. The locations that were searched today relate to doctors who prescribed medical treatment or prescribed drugs for Anna Nicole Smith or associates. On March thirtieth of this year, the California Department of Justice commenced an investigation into circumstances surrounding the death of Anna Nicole Smith, including the prescribing and dispensing practices of several California licensed doctors and pharmacies. To date, agents have reviewed over one hundred thousand computer images, files, patient profiles and the pharmacy laws. Theyve also interviewed witnesses both in this country and abroad. The Department of Justice is spearheading this investigation but its doing so with the cooperation of the California Medical Board, the Department of Insurance, the USDA, the Seminole Tribal Police, and the Royal Bahaman Police Force. In view of the fact that the investigation is still going on, we are not going to be able to provide all the details that youd like. The Department will conduct a very fair and thorough investigation and it wants to protect the identity of cooperating witnesses. When the investigation is complete, then we will be able to tell you about the charges, give you a complete report in the arrests or criminal charges.
