She wrote the prescriptions for opiates, muscle relaxants, & other drugs found in the room Anna Nicole Smith died. She was originally convicted in 2010 of 2 counts of conspiracy to obtain prescriptions under a false name & acquitted of several other charges. She wasn't charged with the death.
The judge tossed the conviction after the trial saying it was not unusual in the celebrity world for fake names to be used to protect privacy. An appeals court reversed his ruling, leading to a re-sentencing. One charge was reduced to a misdemeanor & dismissed the other because it was reduced. He said the doctor had no criminal record or ill intent.
So basically the new ruling was a year of probation & fined $100 in the case but it was stayed as she already served the time while the case was being appealed. By throwing out one and dropping the other to a misdemeanor its basically telling doctors keep doing this!
It's because they are doing this that so many celebrities are dying! Doctors should be held to their oath 1st do no harm to their patients, no matter who they are or how much they are willing to pay, or bend the laws because they are celebrities!
This case closed means the only one left is Howard Stern with the same two charges. Wonder what they will do with him!
Thoughts?
