Today is the third day of deliberations, and jurors are questioning the charges in the Anna Nicole Smith drug conspiracy trial. Jurors asked Judge Perry to explain the charges against Howard K. Stern for “unlawfully prescribing drugs” to Smith. Clearly, the jury does not understand that Stern is charged as a co-conspirator and not an actual prescriber of medication. The panel was told that “if they find either Dr. Sandeep Kapoor or Dr. Khristine Eroshevich guilty of prescribing drugs unlawfully, they may then consider whether Stern aided and abetted them.” They were also told that a person “who aids and abets is equally guilty of a crime.” Stay tuned for the latest!
Well Stern and Sadow certainly cannot be happy about the judge’s clarification.
Janice – would appreciate your take on the “vacation” Perry has taken at the end of this trial. That is, if you can or prefer to comment at this time.
I’m with Just Guessing…Stern and Sadow have got to be sweating right about now!
So,where’s the latest?
Hopefully, the jury will realize what
the instructions are about aiding and abetting….and convict on the evidence which seems to be very powerful
