Smith’s Lawyer Challenges Stepson
A lawyer for Anna Nicole Smith on Friday described the ex-Playboy playmate’s stepson as the person who decided she would not receive any of his oil tycoon father’s inheritance.
Attorney Philip Boesch challenged Pierce Marshall’s earlier testimony that his father made his own financial decisions and that he just helped with the details.
