WASHINGTON, D.C. -- On Thursday, June 23, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the estate of Anna Nicole Smith in the latest phase of the long-running battle over whether Texas billionaire J. Howard Marshall's alleged promise to give a significant portion of his $1.6 billion estate to his young wife supplanted a will leaving his fortune to his son. The court ruled that a previous decision by a bankruptcy judge to grant Smith millions of dollars from the estate of her oil tycoon husband was decided incorrectly because that judge did not have the constitutional right to reach outside of bankruptcy cases into a probate case.
The late Anna Nicole Smith is the subject of a chapter in
Texas Confidential and her slatternly likeness appears on the cover of the book! Read more about about her estate's travails in a recent AP story that appeared in the
