Two convicted of Anna Nicole Smith conspiracy

A jury convicted Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and boyfriend Howard Stern last night of conspiracy over the former Playboy model's 2007 overdose death.

But Sandeep Kapoor, the doctor who prescribed drugs for her, was cleared of all charges.

The only conviction against Stern was for giving false names and acting by fraud to obtain prescriptions. Eroshevich was also convicted of unlawfully prescribing Vicodin by fraud.

The three had been charged with conspiracy, excessive prescribing of opiates and sedatives to an addict and fraudulently obtaining drugs. The Los Angeles jury was asked to decide if they were trying to relieve Smith’s emotional and physical pain or feeding her addiction to prescription drugs.

They were not charged directly in connection with her death.
