DNA won't end Anna Nicole battle
2007-03-24
HOWARD K. Stern has said he'll fight to keep Anna Nicole's daughter - even if DNA tests show she's not his. Mr Stern's lawyer today said he was complying with court-ordered DNA testing, but the result may not stop a drawn out legal fight. Mr Stern's lawyer James Neavitt told the Associated Press: "Howard is the legal father. If Mr Birkhead's DNA matches, then he can come and say he's the biological father, and then you'll have that court battle."

However he did indicate the two men might try to negotiate a settlement if Mr Birkhead was in fact Dannielynn's dad. "Dannielynn's money fortune interests are the most important, and Howard's been protecting her from the start," he said.

Mr Stern is listed as Dannielynn's father on her Bahamian birth certificate. The little girl is heir apparent to Smith's estate, which could be worth hundreds of millions of dollars if it wins a fight to inherit from Smith's late oil tycoon husband, J. Howard Marshall.

#4  I know I'm not Danneilynn's father - Anne Nicole is just NOT my type. But since we've taken on a two-year-old, I think we can handle a 6mo baby. We'll give her a great home, a loving family, brothers and sisters, and lots of love. I doubt any of the rest of the money-grubbers can offer as much.

#3  Yes. This should be explored by the media with all the resources they can spare. It's really important...
And did you hear Angelina Jolie just adopted a Vietnamese kid?

#2  Stern is a moron. Current Bahaman case law founds parental claims on signed hospital statements as to parentage. It was that way in the US until the DNA revolution. There are 2 ways that DNA proof can be accepted in the island country. First, by legislation. Second, by judicial review of current legislation. Stern should be aware that some Bahaman appeals are taken to the Privy Council in the UK, where DNA results are respected. Now that both principal claimants in the Marshall estate litigation are dead, settlement of parentage is essential. And, the other survivors will be more likely to settle. Stern could get his hands on a lot of money if he is the father. And this is all about money.
