And this information is bona fide? Billy Smith may have entered the fray at the request of Vergie. IIRC Anna took off with Daniel to Houston and maybe she never allowed Billy to see or speak to Daniel. Billy Smith was only 18 years old when Anna left him. She probably told him to butt out.....remember how controlling she could be with some men.
The baby was with the grandmother from the age of 3 mos for 6 years. Anna told daddy to get lost and he did and she went to her mother.
OK gals - I was unaware of Billy Smith's lack of financial support and efforts to retain contact with Daniel.
I supported his right to intervene on moving Daniel's body from the Bahamas to the US on the basis that he was the next-of-kin. That status should have allowed him to present his case. Other relevant information, such as being an absent parent, could have been presented in rebuttal.
That he was not allowed to even state his case was the injustice IMHO - especially because it would have (perhaps) helped Vergie.
