Kapoor: ‘I will be vindicated in Smith case’

Kapoor, along with Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Smith’s former lawyer/boyfriend Howard K. Stern, is alleged to have supplied the Playboy model with medication in the run-up to her death from an accidental overdose in February 2007.

But the physician maintains none of the 11 drugs found in Smith’s system were prescribed by him – and he’s anxious to tell a jury his side of the story.

He tells TMZ.com, “All I can say is that once we get to trial, and once we get to see all the facts, I am very confident that I will be vindicated. I’m anxious to get there.

“It’s been three years now. She died this week Monday… My life has changed since this came up on me (and) it’s been a long time. I’m looking forward to getting everything out.”

Kapoor claims his life has been turned upside down by the case, revealing he was traumatised by a police raid of his home after Smith’s passing.

He adds, “It was a tough day. October 12, 2007, they came with helicopters and cars and guns like you see on television, DEA agents. My parents were there, my newborn twin boys were there – eight days old – with a nanny in the room. It was an attack on my own privacy, my own home. It was devastating, to say the least, without any warning. It was 6.15 in the morning and my mother was sleeping and they entered her room with guns drawn and asked her to get out of bed and she didn’t have her robe on, so she tried to reach for her robe and they said, ‘Freeze!’ and pulled a gun out. She didn’t tell me about this until a few months ago because she thought how much it would affect me – and it did.”

If convicted, Kapoor, Eroshevich and Stern could face five years in prison. They are due to stand trial in August (10), according to reports.
