The salacious Anna Nicole Smith details have only just begun.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry ruled this afternoon that prosecutors have shown ample evidence for Smith's erstwhile sidekick Howard K. Stern and Drs. Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor to stand trial for 22 of their combined 23 drug-related felony charges.

"All the defendants have been held to answer on all counts and will stand trial except for count one over act 43 (prescribing placebos)," court spokeswoman Vania Stuelp, tells E! News.

The next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 11.
