yes, the inquest was cancelled - public opinion led to it being reopened but it was stalled again and again until this month. (Happy Birthday, Vicki :) )
imo, hks got a sharp taste of reality when, after Virgie and Billy Smith tried to get daniel’s body exhumed just before the funeral, the judge declined their request based on the grounds that Daniel’s body needed to stay in the Bahamas until after the inquest....immediately leading howie to his next step: challenge jury selection process and the Bahamaian constitution.
imo, the most stragetic move HKS could have made, he did - he put Anna on TOP of Daniel, not in the purchased grave NEXT to Daniel. and the parties protecting howie were in unison - Anna ‘with’ her son - not in the grave next to him but ‘with’.
i can see, stacking two children with each other, or husband/wife with each other, but not two husbands in one plot, or one child and one non-parent in the same plot - doesn’t make sense and I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in graveyards i’ve visited.
to exhume Daniel now, the Bahama court, itself, will have to fight to exhume Anna just to get to Daniel. HKS isn’t finished yet with stalling the inquest imo. Anna’s body is his next trump card.
Future Court Case:
Okay...exhume Daniel but Anna must remain undisturbed.
However, I don't know what the laws are in the Bahamas, but states have powers, too. For example, in a suspicious death, they can order an autopsy. I'd say exhumation is only an extension of that power......whether Anna is on top of Daniel or not.
The other day when I read that all I could think of is what a dastardly conniving man Howard appears to be. IMO.
