SAN FRANCISCO - A federal appeals court ruled Friday that Anna Nicole Smith's landed estate wishes lay hold of none of the more than $300 million the belated Lady-killer model claimed a Texas billionaire to whom she was in short married meant to say goodbye her after he died.
The ruling came in a 15-year authorized fray that started in a sleepy Houston probate court and stretched all the way to the U.S Extreme Court.
It initially perforated Smith against the son of J. Howard Marshall over the $1.6 billion estate the oil mogul formerly larboard after his 1995 death at period 90. J. Howard Marshall had get hitched Smith the year before when she was 26.
Marshall's son E. Pierce Marshall died in 2006 and Smith perished after a deaden overdose in 2008. Their heirs and lawyers kept up the licit pluck that included one ruling awarding Smith $474 million.
Kent Richland, who represents the Smith estate, said he would appeal the latest ruling but hasn't undeniable whether to quiz the appeals court for another hearing or take the case back the U.S. Best Court apropos contrastive issues.
