Well, they got a few things wrong in the story, but I’m glad to hear some snippets from Brunstad and Richland on the status.
” ... After Marshall’s August 1990 death, ...”
He died in August 1995.
” ... A U.S. district court in Los Angeles later took over the case and cut the award to $88 million, plus $42 million in punitive damages. ...”
No, they awarded a total of $88 million, $42 million of which was in punitive damages. And it was thrown out, which led to the SCOTUS appeal.
” ... What happens next in the inheritance battle ...”
It’s not an inheritance battle, which is the whole point. It was a claim against what ANS’s team termed a trust she claimed she was promised while JHMII was still alive, but she wasn’t. It was not contesting the will, which has already been probated and closed.
The interesting thing is that old man Marshall made a video of what he was giving to Anna. Making "videos" and "wishing" became Howard's obsession.
