Anna Nicole Smith's Former Lawyer/Boyfriend Convicted of Conspiracy
Howard K. Stern, former boyfriend and lawyer to Anna Nicole Smith, was found guilty of two conspiracy charges by a Los Angeles jury…conspiracy to prescribe prescription drugs using fraudulent means and conspiracy to furnish prescription drugs to an addict. Both charges were based on incidents that ultimately led to Smith’s death in early 2007.
One of Smith’s former doctors, Khristine Eroshevich was also convicted of the same two charges, as well as two counts of obtaining a prescription for opiates using a false name. The two are scheduled to be sentenced on January 6, 2011. Both face at least three years in the California state prison.
A third defendant, Smith’s former doctor Sandeep Kapoor was cleared on all counts.
