The witch hunt goes on

From E! Online

Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Ann Rundle, who prosecuted Ryder's shoplifting case, has submitted court paperwork outlining her recommended sentence for the sticky-fingered actress.

That the D.A. wants Ryder on three years' probation isn't a surprise. Neither is the call for fines, restitution, counseling and community service. No, the big revelation is the virtual pharmacy the actress was toting around in her designer handbag when she went bargain hunting in the Beverly Hills Saks Fifth Avenue last December.

"During the booking procedure," Rundle recounts in her five-page document sent to Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox on Monday, "Beverly Hills Police discovered the following narcotics in [Ryder's] possession: liquid Demerol, liquid Diazepam, Vicoprofen, Percodan, Valium, Morphine Sulfate and Endocet (containing Oxycodone)."

According to the court documents (which can be found online at The Smoking Gun), Ryder was able to come up with prescriptions for all
the drugs except the Endocet. However, several of the pills were prescribed to her under the alias of Emily Thompson.

Ryder was initially rung up on felony possession of a controlled substance for the painkiller to go along with the shoplifting-related felony counts of grand theft, commercial burglary and vandalism. But the drug charge was dropped before the case went to trial.

Explains Rundle, "Just prior to trial, the defense presented a declaration from a physician admitting that he had provided the Endocet to the defendant without a prescription as part of claimed treatment. In light of this claim, the People moved to dismiss that count in the interest of
justice."

At the time of her arrest, her attorney said Ryder needed medication after breaking her arm on a movie shoot.

When asked Tuesday whether the doctors who gave Ryder and her
Emily Thompson alter ego the various medications would be investigated
for possible wrongdoing, a spokesperson for the D.A.'s office said, "I
cannot comment on that right now."

Last month, a 12-person, Industry-equipped jury found Ryder guilty of grand theft and vandalism. She was acquitted of commercial burglary. Ryder, 31, is due to don one of her tasteful ensembles and head to the
90210 courthouse Friday.

Although the two-time Oscar nominee faced up to two years in jail for being a first-time felon, Judge Fox will likely follow the prosecutor's advice and put Ryder on probation for three years, order her to pay $6,355.40 restitution to Saks and an additional $20,000 in various fines and make her serve 60 days of community service.

If Rundle has her way, Ryder will be required to submit to a search at any time during her probation, with or without a warrant.

The actress will also be forbidden from using any moniker other than her given name, Winona Horowitz, or her more famous stage name. That means no more prescriptions for Emily Thompson.

Finally, Rundle wants Ryder to "cooperate with her probation officer in a plan for both drug and psychiatric counseling."

There was no immediate comment Tuesday from Ryder's camp.
