I found the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS1oJCaNLIo) and I see where Wecht made the statement, "I'm not a close, personal friend of Dr. Perper". Ok, so semantics about associations would probably prevail there - even if he did write a book with the good Dr./Esq./ME/MS Perper. Not to mention how Perper backed Wecht's proposed appointment as the Allegheny County's ME in 2005 (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05331/613152.stm). But nah, they're not friends. What I don't understand is where Wecht claims (see above video) "And I happen to know that it is incorrect to say that the Chloral Hydrate was not accessible to her.(1) That is an erroneous report. The Chloral Hydrate is something that she was taking in the Bahamas. It had been prescribed for her(2) and she would swig from it. And she took it." You're right, he BLABS! So he's now telling us that he has inside information.(1) He's also telling us that the Chloral Hydrate was prescribed for Anna Nicole Smith.(2) Is there another prescription for Chloral Hydrate I missed somewhere? One that was written OTHER than the one for Howard K. Stern by Khristine Eroshevich? What disturbs me about his nonchalant attitude, is that ANYONE with a modicum of research capabilities, can ascertain that any combination of the "therapeutic" drugs with chloral hydrate, is LETHAL. Perper acknowledges as much when he stated, "cause of death was combined drug intoxication". Methadone and Valium, for that matter, taken together, is lethal. So it really doesn't matter if the other drugs in her system were of "therapeutic" levels, taken with something else, they cause death. Yet these drugs were prescribed. They were prescribed to someone else, not her, intentionally. She was taking them. They found them in her dead corpse. I'd just like to know why these so-called DOCTORS have the audacity to get up on the podiums of the media and act like this is normal medical practice? People are dying everyday (from Wecht's own words) from overdoses such as these. For the public to ask that all involved in such practices be questioned further and re-open this case, is just too daunting of a task --unconscionable, forget that idea. Too many doctors would go down with Eroshevich. Case closed. Sanchez is up next to declare victory.

Yes, there was another prescription for chloral hydrate, Sept 15, 2006, if not many more.

Funny, it was the *one* drug out of three “new names” mentioned in the “exclusive” interview with KE on ET 2-3 weeks ago that I didn’t catch when the program ran on a Friday.

I waited all weekend and watched the weekend summary show of ET when they had selected clips - and there it was “chloral hydrate.” I hadn’t understood it the first time and hadn’t seen it written, busy typing at the time.

LOL, I posted immediately - “chloral hydrate!” - that was the 3rd new drug mentioned in KE’s longer “wish list” fax to Kapoor than the first fax that was made public. This longer one was the one that was rejected by both Kapoor (as was the first KE one) and Key Pharmacy, the drugstore that normally filled ANS ‘scripts in L.A. Or so they say.

That was the list that prompted a referral for KE to two addiction experts for counseling her on prescribing.

Funny how that “important” drug - which stood out to me only because I didn’t catch it the first time and waited for it for 3 days - was the actual lethal one. At least, with what we know now, it was.
