"Jurors must decide whether the defendants provided excessive opiates and sedatives to the former Playboy model knowing she was an addict. Defense lawyers have said she was not an addict and the medications were for pain."

CNN reports:

"The defense argued her drug dependency was legal since it was for legitimate medical purposes, including for treatment of her pain and anxiety."


The jury began their deliberations Tuesday, October 12.
