Psychiatrist, lawyer convicted in Anna Nicole Smith case
LOS ANGELES – 2010 The key people in Anna Nicole Smith’s life, those who she believed had her back--her psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich, and her companion Howard K. Stern, an attorney, were convicted of conspiracy in connection with obtaining drugs for the reality star and Playboy model before her death in 2007.
“This case illustrates the problem of the overuse of prescription medicine in today’s society,” he added. “Medical professionals have a responsibility to ensure that the strict ethical guidelines of their profession are followed in prescribing medicine as part of the care of their patients.”
The jury convicted Khristine Eroshevich, 62, the psychiatrist, and Howard K. Stern, 41, Smith’s companion, of two counts of conspiracy to commit the crimes of obtaining a controlled substance by false name or address, and issuing a prescription that is false or fictitious. The time period covered by the counts was from June 2004 until February 2007 when Smith died in Florida of a drug overdose. The jury failed to reach a consensus on the other allegations in the conspiracy counts, including prescribing, administering and dispensing controlled substances to an addict; unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance; issuing a prescription that is false or fictitious; and violating the state Business and Professions Code.
Eroshevich also was convicted of one count each of obtaining a prescription of opiates by fraud, deceit or misrepresentation, and obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address. The jury was evenly split between guilty and not guilty on two additional counts against Eroshevich – unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and prescribing, administering or dispensing controlled substances to “Anna Nicole Smith, an addict.”
Stern was found not guilty of a third conspiracy count that also named the acquitted doctor, Sandeep Kapoor, 42. In addition, Stern was found not guilty of six additional counts involving obtaining and furnishing drugs for Smith. Besides the conspiracy count, Kapoor was found not guilty of another conspiracy charge and four additional counts involving furnishing the drugs.

Anna Nicole Smith is dead from drugs she was being spoon fed by these two knuckle-heads, and they take no responsibility. Not to mention her son, whom in my humble opinion was poisoned by Howard K Stern in Anna's hospital room via methadone in a go-cup, and that he held her daughter hostage from her biological father, and that he stole all of ANS's estate that he had managed to hide or get in his name. He hovered over Anna so long because he wanted his share of J Howard Marshall's estate for "attorney fees" for Mrs Marshall. As a matter of fact, now it's Stern v. Marshall. This guy was really hanging his star on this case.

News flash:
In January 2011, judge Robert Perry dismissed two convictions against Stern and Smith's doctor.
In July 2015, judge Perry dismissed convictions for the second time, the prosecution didn't appeal. Judge said Stern had a good intentions, wanted to protect Smith's privacy and sternly scolded DA for wrongful prosecution of Stern. Case is closed
1). Stern didn't get any fee from Smith's estate. He refused to take any money from her estate as administrator.
2). Birkhead was not wronged father, he had a confidentiality agreement with Smith regarding paternity; had she lived she would have won full custody of her daughter.
ps
Virgie's vexatious lawsuit against media, Tmz, CBS, Stern, etc. was dismissed with prejudice after TMZ and others won summary judgment in Oct.2010. All her claims were dismissed as baseless.
