I have previously discussed the ongoing conflict surrounding B.B. King’s death and estate. The late musician’s daughters are accusing LaVerne Toney of hastening the musician’s death with poison and embezzling $1 million from his estate. King’s daughters have recently enlisted attorney Benjamin Crump to review the situation. Crump is known for representing the families of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Alesia Thomas, and Tamir Rice. A hearing over the estate has been scheduled in the Las Vegas probate courts for June 25.
