As expected, the judge in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy case acquitted her boyfriend-lawyer Howard Stern yesterday of two charges of obtaining drugs for her by fraud and deceit, including use of false names. Also dismissed was part of a conspiracy count against Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, with the judge ruling there was insufficient proof that the two men conspired to obtain controlled drugs through fraud and deceit. The judge allowed the balance of that conspiracy charge to stand and ruled the bulk of the 11-count complaint would go to the jury for verdicts. Attorneys were scheduled for closing arguments on Monday.
