Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist and boyfriend were convicted of conspiring to use false names to obtain prescription drugs for the reality TV star.

Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer-manager Howard Stern was also her best friend and lover and would never have been part of an alleged plot to furnish her with harmful drugs, a defence lawyer said today.

Former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith was "obsessed" with pills and was helped in taking drugs by her lawyer-boyfriend in the weeks before her death, her bodyguard told a court.

Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer-turned-boyfriend and two doctors denied have conspiring to provide thousands of prescription pills to the former model before her overdose death two years ago.
