They acquitted that doctor -- up -- but they convicted.

Stern and they're Lisovicz.

Providing Anna Nicole the drugs that killed the former Playboy playmate.

But the judge in the case then through their convictions out it was a very unusual decision by the judge and then and even more unusual move.

The attorney general is now the governor of course Jerry Brown appealed and guess what an appellate court on Thursday reinstated.

Which means that the pair could face jail time.

Because you know -- Nicole Smith is dead.

And you know she's famous in in she's -- fans and that's a human being.

And it in the magnitude of the whole situation it's that -- -- like Howard just gave.

And a couple pills one day when she ran out in the -- and have the same prescription we're talking about -- pattern that went on for years.

Stern had been reinstated what do you what do you think is gonna happen to them now.

Why I think -- media prosecutor.

Should be Britain new judge because.

This -- curry didn't extraordinary remedy is you and I know it's so -- usual.

But he did did jury comes back with a card guilt beyond two felonies -- -- and that doctor.

And then -- just do some light -- Judgment notwithstanding.

The verdict of the jury he hit it dismissed the two -- The jury spends over two weeks deciding the straight out of the doctor -- Howard K.

Stern.

And he's still dismisses.

The charges.

And what what I think the prosecutor should be saying I want a new charge I want someone who's not -- PR.

But legally speaking judge do you think the prosecution.

And the attorney general's office in this case really legally have the standing to ask that they have -- -- to ask.

But do they have the grounds to prevail on getting the judge recuse.

I feel they'd have a good shot at it but they -- your question directly what what's gonna happen when it goes back to huge trial judge George curry -- Berry could reduce.

-- felony child objectives to misdemeanors.

If he doesn't do that on the felonies.

He couldn't just be imposed probate bit humble Howard K.

Stern and the doctor and those two felonies -- concerns that the -- very short.

Period of time being in jail.

Point -- or -- can also just to dismiss the case on other legal -- can -- not.

-- them both guilty you must.

You must impose -- is now.

That's a Mark -- what would make you a happy how much.

Average I wish you could we have a shot yeah.

Well I think I think mid term is appropriate because you know you -- Howard could not have even negotiated a plea bargain with a great attorney.

They did even came close to what the judge Perry handed him down after.

Going to trial it when somebody goes to trial and exhaust.

The taxpayers' money and stands you know those expensive trial I'd save millions of dollars -- I I think the fair sense for Howard would be.
