Anna Nicole Smith Jury Questioning Set To Begin Today

LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) Questioning of prospective jurors is expected to begin Monday in the drug conspiracy trial of Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer-boyfriend Howard K. Stern, and two doctors, Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich.

The three are accused of conspiring to furnish drugs to an addict.

A judge says questionnaires filled out by prospective jurors show most of them know something about the model's life and death.

"I was a little disappointed with the responses to the question, 'What have you learned about the case?'" he said. "The answers were, 'Only what I saw on TV.'"

But how much they know and what they think about the drug conspiracy charges will be probed in open court. Superior Court Judge Robert Perry says he hopes to have a panel seated in two days.

Kapoor, Eroshevich and Stern have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to illegally provide the former Playboy model with massive amounts of opiates and sedatives.

They are not charged in her overdose death in 2007 in Florida.

The case took a new twist Friday when Deputy District Attorney Renee Rose made the surprise announcement that she will allege that Smith was a co-conspirator in the actions that brought the defendants to trial after Smith's death. It was unclear how the claim could affect the case.

The judge said he found the new turn of events "remarkable."
