Anna nicole trial

CBS News Legal Analyst Lisa Bloom called the attorney's statement "a nice turn of phrase," but added, it's "not actually accurate, legally speaking. She said, "If a doctor's judgment was to overprescribe medications to a known addict, then that judgment can be criminal. The question is, whether the excessive amount of medication given to her was done fairly to treat a chronic pain condition, as they say, or whether it was simply giving medications as a drug dealer would to someone who was clearly an addict.

Hill asked about the nature of Howard K. Stern's defense: Can he really defend himself by saying he didn't realize people aren't permitted to fill prescriptions under other people's names?

If he truly was ignorant and relied on the doctors' medical judgment and he felt that it was fair, she did suffer from chronic pain, then he may have a defense.
