A jury has just convicted Howard K. Stern and Dr. Khristine Eroschevich in the Anna Nicole Smith drug case.

The legal proceedings concerned alleged funneling of prescription medications to Smith before her 2007 accidental overdose death.

Stern, who was Smith’s lawyer and boyfriend, was found guilty on two conspiracy counts, for giving false names and acting by fraud to obtain prescriptions.

He was acquitted of 7 other charges and remains free pending an appeal.

Dr. Eroshevich, Smith’s psychiatrist, was also found guilty of conspiracy, unlawfully prescribing Vicodin by fraud.

Smith’s personal physician, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, was acquitted of all 6 charges against him.

The jury deliberated for 58 hours before announcing their verdicts.

Stern will be back in court for sentencing on January 6.

    how are you surprised? i’m not…he should have helped her not encourage her when she was already depressed for losing her son

    It’s unfortunate when someone is a ‘star’ those around them fall victim to fulfilling their every whim, if only to keep themself close to the flame of fame. Howard loved Anna. It was painfully obvious if you ever saw them together on her reality show, where she made fun of him doing anything for her, and she was nasty to him for fun – which he allowed. PERHAPS if he had remained professional, and not become her ‘friend’ and full-time confidant, then he would have been able to do the right thing and not kept her dope handy. Of course, IF the so-called medical professionals – including at the pharmacy too, Did Not provide or fill the prescriptions, then this would have never been an issue anyway. What a mess . . .

    What is strange about this case is that Howard was her boyfriend but yet she had a baby by another man. This other man knew that the baby was his from the start. It was as if he had planned to get her pregnant. Her life was strange… to me.

    the other man, damn, i forget his name, knew it was his but anna nicole smith kept denying it. it’s why the paternity test was needed
