Anna Nicole: Drug bottles found in Anna Nicole Smith death room

Drug bottles, a duffel bag full of cash and Anna Nicole Smith's sobbing boyfriend were found in the Florida hotel room where the Playboy model died of an overdose three years ago, a police detective testified Thursday.Detective Katherine Frank was the first witness to take the stand in the trial of Smith's lawyer-boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and two doctors who have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to supply.

A duffel bag found in the room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel contained more than $8,000 in cash.Under prosecution questioning, pharmacist Olga Kopetman identified multiple prescriptions written by defendant Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist, to Anna Nicole Smith, Vicky Marshall, which is Smith's real name, and three other names from 2003 to 2006.

Kopetman said that was possible, and the patient would have to receive larger doses for the drugs to be effective.The testimony came on the heels of opening statements Wednesday by a prosecutor and three defense attorneys who disputed whether it's a case of three scheming conspirators feeding drugs to an addict or a love story.
