Marshall specifically excluded Anna from his will (after having provided for her handsomely with jewelry and property during his lifetime). It's just a shame that she and her "people" have been able to manipulate the judicial system so egregiously. I certainly hope that the 9th finally gives the Marshall family some justice. From listening to the oral arguments, it sounds like the judges are leaning that way. (http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/view_subpage.ph...

"This is a case of "can't BOTH sides lose?" if ever I saw one. She was a gold-digger and he was a horny old creep. Her side are filthy leeches and his side are greedy, stupid snobs. Too bad the entire wad can't go into a trust for her child."

That sums it up far more succinctly than I could! However the rush of potential fathers for the child – can't forget the next generation!

They do in the end. The long, twisted and winding road actually gets you somewhere.

Oh hey Zero! As I expected you hate America, why? Embarrassing how, and to whom? Why do you still live in America? Do you live in Sec: 8 housing? Do you presently use the health department for your health care? Why do you love a Washington politician so? What is the pay off, what’s in it for you?

"What's in it for you?"

Um, how about an America that isn't a complete and utter embarassment? How about an environment which isn't polluted and a more peaceful society? Yeah, all that and a bag of chips son…

This is a case of "can't BOTH sides lose?" if ever I saw one. She was a gold-digger and he was a horny old creep. Her side are filthy leeches and his side are greedy, stupid snobs. Too bad the entire wad can't go into a trust for her child.

The lawyers, of course, will fatten on this regardless. My family was embroiled in a horrible lawsuit many years ago, and my opinion of the legal profession has never recovered. A woman ran over my mother, killed her, then filed a lawsuit against her estate for pain and suffering. Yes, it seemed that my mother's corpse crashing through her windshield was quite traumatic. My father was forced to countersue, and it dragged through the courts for 8 years. The final result? After legal fees, the total settlement we received as $360. Yes, my brother and I each got the princely sum of $180 for my mother's life. I would sooner they had crapped in my hand than accept that check. But someone, somewhere, got handsomely paid for their time.
