Howard K. Stern was found guilty Friday of two counts of conspiracy for funneling prescription medication to Anna Nicole Smith and there is one person who is pleased with the verdict – Anna Nicole’s mother, Virgie Arthur.

COURT DOCUMENTS: Read The Verdict Forms

Speaking exclusively to RadarOnline.com, Neil McCabe – who represents Virgie Arthur – says, “Ms. Arthur is not disappointed to see there were convictions today - especially Mr. Stern - and she’s waiting to see what the sentencing will show us.”

Arthur, who made an appearance in court during the course of the trial against the three defendants, was particularly interested in the outcome of Mr. Stern given the history of the pair.

At a press conference following the verdict, Howard K. Stern told reporters on the courthouse steps, “The jury found me not guilty on seven counts - everything related to the appropriateness of the medication, I was acquitted of. Contact my lawyer for any further comments.”

Stern was acquitted of seven other charges and will remain a free man pending appeal.

I have no doubt that Vergie is disappointed - and she'll be even more so when the Judge throws those convictions out. There was no victory for the prosecution 2 out of nine, is a big FAIL. using false names on star's prescriptions is COMMON.

Anna did not despise her mother, that was the drugs and HKS talking. She tried to call her mother when Daniel died and Stern stopped it. He is an evil man and those two Dr''s should lose their license. They are not above the law.

Howard controlled Anna by keeping her drugged and away from her family. He even took her to the Bahamas to keep her from Larry and lied that Anna's baby was his own. Howard is evil.

RIP, Anna. As far as the mother, she has already showed her true colors to the world.

You are all forgetting how much Anna despised her mother. I mean decades worth of being apart and not speaking in any way.... Who gives a sheet what this sheetbag mother says about any verdict. I don't. I am honoring Anna's choice.

You preach about not judging Michael Douglas' family yet you call Anna Nicole's greiving mother a "sheetbag". Isn't that judging?

I'm with Mrs. Arthur. Stern would have gotten worse if the Judge weren't so biased. I've never seen a US Judge as openly biased as this one was. God rest her soul, she didn't have a chance with him selling footage of her stoned, etc.

With the exception of Kristine, there was no case here. Howard couldn't have stopped a drug addict and he cannot prescribe drugs. This case against him was absurd. I have over 30 years in this field and I'm telling you, there was no case here.
