Criminal Trial of Co-Defendants Stern, Kapoor & Eroshevich: Day Thirty Five

While no defense witnesses were present at the trial today, 90 photos were introduced documenting Smith’s last few months. The photographer, Howard K. Stern, attempted to prove Smith’s sober state by showing “the blonde beauty beginning with the birth of her baby.” With the exception of photos from Daniel Smith’s funeral, the majority of the photos emphasized Smith’s happiness.

According to the Associated Press, although the prosecution was set to rest today, they will now wrap up on Monday. Check back for more updates!

UPDATE: In regards to Mrs. Marple’s comments, the prosecution did try to counter the defense by introducing “two less flattering pictures” of Smith as evidence.  However – as pointed out by readers – the prosecution may not have gone far enough to portray Smith’s addiction.  As previously discussed, there are many unusual circumstances surrounding this case and Judge Perry has “harshly criticized the prosecution for overreaching.” According to the Associated Press, Judge Perry has scheduled arguments on dismissal motions for today.  Although it seems some charges will stand, Judge Perry “wants arguments to be limited on two issues: whether Smith was an addict and whether prescriptions were obtained under false names.” Be sure to check back!

  1. I have a question. If the defense presented photos of a smiling happy Anna shouldn’t the prosecution be able to counter with just as many photos and videos of a smashed out of her mind Anna? It just seems to me as though they are using a witness that can’t be cross-examined.

    I will never forget the lovely video of a smiling Anna on Christmas day who could hardly speak for slurring and then little Danielynn almost crashing to the floor had it not been for Dr Eroshevich quickly catching her before she fell. I am sure that Stern could have gotten a smiling family photo from that occasion when in fact Anna was totally smashed face!

  2. The prosecution tried to use the clown video and the pics of Anna with the shrink in the tub but the judge wouldn’t allow it yet he allowed the defense to use posed photos?? Is this judge for real?

    Were all the disturbing photos with Kapoor and ANS allowed in?
