Anna Nicole Smith's psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and boyfriend Howard K. Stern were convicted of conspiracy counts by a jury Thursday but acquitted the doctor who prescribed drugs for the former Playboy model of all charges.
Prosecutors contended during the nine-week trial that the defendants were dazzled by Smith's glamor and filled her demands for prescription drugs to protect their insider status in her personal life and her celebrity world.
The jury deliberated about 58 hours after being asked to decide if the three defendants were trying to relieve Smith's emotional and physical pain or were feeding her addiction to prescription drugs.
