Birkhead: Prosecutors chastised testimony

Published: October 19, 2009
LOS ANGELES - The father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter says he was criticized by a prosecutor for his testimony about the role Smith's former boyfriend had in her medication.
Larry Birkhead was questioned about the incident by a defense lawyer before his testimony resumed Monday in a preliminary hearing that will decide if Smith's former boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and two doctors will face trial. They are accused of illegally giving the former Playboy model controlled substances.
Birkhead says Deputy District Attorney Sarah Slice called after he testified Friday and suggested he was taking Stern's side. He says she also suggested there was something wrong with his daughter because of Smith's drug use before she died in 2007.
Birkhead has testified that Smith took more drugs than anyone he had seen.
