Lamar Odom maybe prosecuted for cocaine

Lamar Odom is now in the crosshairs of prosecutors who may file cocaine possession charges against him, but if they do, it could be a first for the D.A., which raises troubling questions. Nye County D.A. Angela Bello says her office is considering filing criminal charges against Lamar -- either possession of coke or being under the influence of a controlled substance. We've done some checking, and we were unable to find a single case in Nye County where someone OD'd, landed in the hospital, and was prosecuted for drug possession. An official from the Nye County Sheriff's office tells us they have definitely referred such cases to the D.A., but the official does not know of any cases that have actually been prosecuted. We contacted the D.A. and asked if they ever prosecuted someone who ended up in the hospital after OD'ing on drugs, but we could find none. What's particularly troublesome with Lamar ... as we reported, he's unable to walk, can barely speak and has substantially impaired cognitive function. He may not even be competent to stand trial. The question is ... is he being targeted because he's a celebrity? A rep in the D.A.'s office tells us, "He's not being treated any differently because he's a celebrity. He's being treated just like any other Joe Schmo."

Lamar Odom is not only getting love from his fans, he may just get a kidney.

A bunch of people have been contacting Lamar and Khloe on social media, responding to TMZ's story that Lamar's kidneys are shot and he may need a transplant.

Some fans are generous ... for a price. One guy wrote, "Lamar Odom needs a kidney. I will sell him one of mine for $25k." Another guy upped the ante, setting the price at $100k.

Lamar Odom takes steps in Los Angeles, family says

Lamar Odom's family says he has taken a few steps since arriving in Los Angeles, part of what they describe as "miraculous progress" for the former NBA player. In a statement released Tuesday, Odom's aunt JaNean Mercer and the Odom family thanked doctors and nurses who cared for him at a Las Vegas hospital, asking supporters to keep praying for him. "As Lamar begins a new chapter in his road to recovery, PLEASE continue to uplift him and the family in prayer. He continues to make miraculous progress, taking a few steps in Los Angeles. We couldn't be more overjoyed!" the statement said. "We realize Lamar's continued improvement will not be easy, however his unrelenting strength and faith in GOD will pull him through." Odom was hospitalized in Las Vegas last week after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch, a brothel in Nevada where he'd spent several days. A friend of Odom's told CNN that he has been transferred to a Los Angeles hospital. ESPN, citing sources, reported that Odom was taken by medical helicopter on Monday night. For days, those closest to him were tight-lipped about his condition. Former college coach Jim Harrick said on CNN's "New Day" on Monday that the 35-year-old athlete has made "a little bit of progress" and has told his estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, "I love you." On Tuesday, Kardashian released a statement of her own, thanking doctors and nurses for helping Odom make "incredible strides." "You can never be prepared for an experience like this, but without the outpouring of love and endless prayers that Lamar has received and the strength I was given from my loved ones, it would have been difficult to endure," she said. "Thank you for your continued support. God is great!!
