In new developments today, Judge Robert Perry ordered that prosecution witnesses tone done their remarks regarding the severity of Smith’s drug use. The Judge gave the warning just before Gregory Thompson, a pharmacology expert, took the stand. Thompson previously stated Smith’s prescriptions would be effective “if you were going to kill someone.”
Judge Perry’s order is not surprising. As I previously noted, Perry made it clear during opening statements that the defendants are not charged with Smith’s death. Check back tomorrow for an update as testimony continues!

The severity of her drug use does not excuse them killing her. They should have been charged with at least manslaughter, especially Howard Stern, in my opinion.

Maybe they weren’t charged with killing ANS but they probably should have been.
Personally, the remarks were harsh…but the effect that was desired certainly wasn’t lost on the jury, regarless of the judge’s instructions.
The remarks were telliing weren’t they?
The judge is smart; he is trying to prevent a appeal over the use of those remarks if there is a conviction.
use of inflamatory remarks only serves the defense in the case of appeals. I agree with the judge on this one.
