Where did the methadone that was in Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel Wayne Smith come? It was in his system when he died. On CNN's 'Showbiz Tonight that was the discussion. Jane Valez-Mitchell put it well on the CNN show: "I think Harvey Levin (managing editor of TMZ) said it. The question is, why did he have this Methadone in his system and who gave it to him? But the even bigger question is, did he want it? Let's face it, Daniel was an adult, a young adult, but still an adult. If he sought it -- let's say he went to the hospital room, saw it there, picked it up, used it voluntarily, then that's his responsibility when he dies.

Now, if someone gave it to him and then he said, OK, I'll take it, I'll try it. Again, he's an adult. It's his responsibility. Somebody may have enabled him. But where the line between enabling and criminality happens is going to be something that has to be decided by judge and jury.

The host of the program, A.J. Hammer asks the reporter, "Jane, if you were Howard K. Stern, would you be shaking in your boots a little about this inquest?"
She answered: "I would shaking in my boots, but I would be shaking a little less after what happened(with no charged being brought in the death of Anna Nicole). I think what happened yesterday was a major change in the dynamic and the momentum of this whole saga. There had been this drum beat, from the public and the media, this is a tragedy, two people are dead, somebody's got to pay, somebody's responsible."
She later added, "And I think that it's going to be harder to prove criminality in Daniel's death now that that has happened, because it kind of shoots a hole in the whole conspiracy theory, she told hammer. "Yes, I would be very concerned, but, once again, it gets down to personality responsibility. And in a lot of cases where you see people convicted and the victim has died of drugs, they've slipped the drugs to the person or they forced the person to take the drugs against their will. And at this point, I don't see either of those two scenarios happening.
