Howard K. Stern found not guilty in the death of Anna Nicole Smith. What amounts to a slap against the L.A. County District Attorney, the judge in the Howard K. Stern drug conspiracy trial just threw out the jury verdict. What does this mean for Stern…. he is now a free and innocent man.
The jury in the case — in which prosecutors argued Stern and others conspired to fuel Anna Nicole Smith’s drug habit — found Stern guilty of 2 counts of conspiracy, but not guilty on 7 other charges.
The judge felt the conviction was baseless and threw it out.
In addition,the judge found psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich was acting out of concern for Smith — and sentenced her to no more than one year of probation and a $100 fine for obtaining a Vicodin prescription under a false name.
Only moments ago, Stern and his lawyers answered questions and stated that they believed the media had painted Anna as a drug addict instead of a depressed woman battling chronic pain.
Let us know what you think.
