Court Rules Anna Nicole Smith Will Get Nothing From J. Howard Marshall

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the estate of Anna Nicole Smith is not entitled to one penny of the more than $300 million dollars the late Playmate claimed J. Howard Marshall promised her during their brief marriage.
The AP reports that after a 15 year battle, in which both parties (J. Howard Marshall's son E. Pierce Marshall and Anna Nicole) have passed away, the court decided that a Texas jury's 2001 verdict which favored E. Pierce Marshall should be honored because it had heard from all parties during the five-month trial.
Any subsequent rulings they said should be ignored.
If the court ruled in favor of Anna Nicole, the vast fortune would have gone to Dannielynn.
