HOUSTON, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Wednesday marks the six year anniversary of the original Anna Nicole Smith court case in which a Houston jury unanimously upheld J. Howard Marshall II's estate plan in Marshall, et al. v. McIntyre (the Estate of J. Howard Marshall II), et al. The Houston Probate Court ruled that Vickie Lynn Marshall (a/k/a Anna Nicole Smith) did not have an agreement with J. Howard Marshall II that would give her one-half of all his property. Furthermore, the Court also decreed that J. Howard Marshall II "did not intend to give and did not give to Anna Nicole Smith a gift or bequest from his estate or living trust either prior to or upon his death."
Over the course of the relationship with Marshall, Smith received over $6.2 million in cash and other material possessions," says Don Jackson, defense attorney for the Marshalls. "This was a frivolous lawsuit and a desperate money grab -- the jury came to the correct decision by upholding Marshall's estate plan outlined in his will and living trust."
"The unfortunate passing of Smith caused a stir in the media over the potential inheritance from her marriage, but the fact remains that the Marshall estate was left to E. Pierce Marshall," says Jeff Chambers, defense attorney for E. Pierce Marshall. "Wild accusations of tampering and tearful outbursts in the courtroom did not sway the jury to ignore the facts of the case, and Smith's untimely passing does nothing to change the Houston ruling."
So there's a Howard "mindframe" here. VIDEOS ARE INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE and Howard was going to create "indisputable evidence".
The only difference is that Old Man Marshall states that: "I am---- Marshal...and I am of Sound Mind."
