The New York Timjes reports that prosecutors have filed an appeal trying to reinstate three convictions against Anna Nicole Smith’s boyfriend and her psychiatrist, saying the judge was biased against them.<\/p>\n
The unusual appeal filed Monday in California’s 2nd District Court of Appeals says Superior Court Judge Robert Perry abused his discretion when he granted a new trial to the two defendants and dismissed the few counts on which they were convicted. A jury had acquitted them on most of 11 charges involving drug prescriptions given to the former Playboy model in the months before she died of an accidental drug overdose in February 2007.<\/p>\n
A co-defendant, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who was Smith’s physician, was acquitted of all charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
