MIAMI — The flamboyant judge brought to fame in the fight over Anna Nicole Smith’s remains says in a book to be released today that he believes someone is guilty of manslaughter in the starlet’s death.
Larry Seidlin, the former Fort Lauderdale judge who determined where Smith was to be buried, is harshly critical of Smith’s lawyer- turned-companion Howard K. Stern and of the police investigations into the deaths of Smith and her son. But in “The Killing of Anna Nicole Smith,” Seidlin offers no evidence that either death was anything more than the accidental drug overdoses they were deemed.
“I think enablers should be punished,” Seidlin writes, then refers directly to Stern. “How about keeping her off drugs while she was alive?”
Stern’s attorney, Steve Sadow, said, “Any allegations made by Judge Seidlin against Howard K. Stern are truly unworthy of response.” The Associated Press
