pAnna Nicole Smith's primary doctor, who was acquitted in the late model's high-profile drug prescription case, has been subpoenaed in a separate investigation, his attorney said Friday./ppIt's outrageous, said Ellyn Garafalo, who represents Dr. Sandeep Kapoor. This shows that this is a vendetta./ppShe said Kapoor was standing outside the courtroom where a judge dismissed most charges against Kapoor's co-defendants on Thursday when he was handed a subpoena by a process server representing the California Medical Board./ppGarafalo said the board is investigating cases unrelated to the Smith case./ppShe said Kapoor has treated many severely ill patients and has written numerous prescriptions for them./ppKapoor was tried with Howard K. Stern and psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich on charges of excessively prescribing opiates and sedatives for the former Playboy model. A jury acquitted him of all charges./ppAfter a long and costly trial prosecution, Superior Court Judge Robert Perry threw out conspiracy convictions against Stern and Eroshevich, allowing one charge against her to remain but reducing it to a misdemeanor./p |
