Anna Nicole Smith Verdicts

The Anna Nicole Smith verdicts have been handed out today.

A jury on Thursday convicted Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist and boyfriend of conspiracy in a prescription drug case involving the former Playboy model and reality TV star but acquitted the doctor who prescribed a plethora of drugs for her.

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 was 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.

Smith eventually died of an accidental drug overdose in Florida in 2007, but the defendants were not charged in her death.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor was acquitted Thursday of all charges.
