Anna Nicole update

LOS ANGELES

Anna Nicole Smith’s boyfriend has been acquitted of two charges of obtaining drugs for her by fraud and deceit, including use of false names. Superior Court Judge Robert Perry also dismissed part of a conspiracy count against Howard Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, ruling there was insufficient proof that the two men conspired to obtain controlled drugs through fraud and deceit.

But the bulk of the 11-count complaint will go to the jury for verdicts.
