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

Today, Broward County’s chief toxicologist, Dr. Harold Schueler, testified that many of Smith’s drugs were prescribed to fictitious names.  Schueler made a chart of all the medications Smith consumed which included over 40 bottles of prescription drugs prescribed by Dr. Eroshevich. Schueler also testified that nine of the prescribed drugs were linked to her death in 2007.

Coming up this week…

There is speculation that five South Carolina residents have been asked to testify due to their familiarity with Smith’s physical condition before her death.  Gaither Ben Thompson Sr., Gaither Thompson Jr., Melanie Thompson, Ford Shelley and Gina Shelley “were named as material witnesses in the warrants presented to a judge at the Horry County Courthouse.” Two of the witnesses, Ford Shelly and Gaither Thompson Sr., are currently being sued by Stern over a property rights battle. Stay tuned to see how this unfolds!
