The child is not a Bahamian - The Bahamian judge knows this.
They cannot keep that child under their laws.
Damn ... I wish Opri could talk about the Bahamian paternity case... but she is under a Bahamian court gag order. None of these talking heads on TV are even paying attention or they are not aware of the agreement that both the US, Bahamas and some other 200 countries have agreed on.
First factor...
The child is not a Bahamian - she is a US Citizen (even the Bahamian government recongnises this - they cannot hold her down by their laws - the child has international rights)
once again... Opri briefly brought this up (below) when they came out of the Bahamian Courts a week or so ago. She also said everyone on the case is under a gag order so she could not go into detail.
International Child Laws
(both the US and Bahamas has agreed to honor this - Debra Opri mention this when they came out of the Bahama Courts)

A judge said this morning that Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend at the time of her death might be forced to give DNA for a test to determine the father of her 6-month-old daughter, according to lawyers at the hearing.
Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schnider denied a motion by Larry Birkhead, Smith's onetime boyfriend, that Stern be compelled to immediately join the case, which could result in him being ordered to give his DNA. But Schnider left open the possibility that he could change his mind later this month. The next hearing in Los Angeles is March 28.
