Anna Nicole Smith drug trial starts Wednesday.

Los Angeles, California  Two doctors who treated Anna Nicole Smith in the months before her death and her lawyer-boyfriend go on trial Wednesday on charges they illegally conspired to provide the actress with drugs.
Steven Sadow, the lead lawyer for Howard K. Stern, said the defense team was "very pleased" with the jury of six men and six women who were sworn in Tuesday afternoon.
Opening statements were scheduled for Wednesday morning. Lawyers predicted the trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court could last up to three months.
Potential jurors were asked more than 100 questions, including personal questions about their prescription drug use.
The three also are accused of conspiring to use false names to obtain drugs for Smith, a practice defense attorneys have argued was intended to protect the celebrity's privacy.
Smith died February 8, 2007, from what a Florida medical examiner ruled was "acute combined drug intoxication.
