Anna Nicole Smith and the Appellate Court

Smith2_1Earlier today (February 28, 2007), a three judge panel of the Florida 4th District Court of Appeals heard arguments regarding the proper disposition of Anna Nicole Smith’s body. 

Although the panel made no decision and did not indicate when it would rule, two judges were impressed with the fact that Anna purchased burial plots in the Bahamas as supporting Dannielynn’s guardian’s decision to bury Anna in the Bahamas next to her son, Daniel.

If the court rules in the guardian’s favor, he plans to have the burial on Friday.  But, Anna’s mother, Virgie Arthur, claims she will appeal to the Florida Supreme Court if the panel rules against her.
