A prospective juror who works with addictive drugs and one who was a fan of Anna Nicole Smith’s TV reality show were among those cleared to fill out questionnaires Thursday in the first phase of jury selection for the drug conspiracy trial of two doctors and the late model’s lawyer-boyfriend.

Superior Court Judge Robert Perry greeted the jury prospects with warnings that it was a high-profile case, and they may be familiar with the life of the blonde Playboy model who died of a drug overdose in 2007 in Florida.

The defendants are not charged with causing Smith’s death but are accused of illegally providing her with opiates and sedatives.

“I work for a hospital and I know what Oxycodone does to people,” one prospect said, referring to one of the drugs involved in the case. “I’ve had relatives that got hooked into it.”

The prospect also said she watched TV coverage when Smith died.

The judge questioned her on whether she could be fair in evaluating the evidence. After a long pause, she said, “I think I could be fair.”

He told her to fill out a questionnaire. Those who complete the forms will return Aug. 2 for in-depth questioning.

Another woman said she had been a fan of Smith’s reality show. Looking across the courtroom at Smith’s lawyer-boyfriend, defendant Howard K. Stern, she said, “I did not like him. I liked her and I liked everybody on the show but I didn’t like him.”

Stern and others in the courtroom laughed. The judge asked why she didn’t like Stern.

“She pushed him around, and I thought he should have been tougher,” she said.

The judge ordered her to fill out a questionnaire.

Dr. Sanjeep Kapoor, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Stern have pleaded not guilty to charges related to overprescribing drugs and illegally obtaining drugs for Smith under pseudonyms.

In an unusual procedure, jurors are being asked to disclose their own medical histories and drugs they have used. They are being asked if they or anyone they know has ever abused prescription drugs.

The trial was expected to last three months. Opening statements are scheduled for Aug. 4.
