Didn’t she get _something_ from her late husband’s estate? What was up with her and SCOTUS? Isn’t the entire probate drama being relitigated?

Last I heard she was back down to zero. Not sure if it’s settled or not.

The SCOTUS ruling just allowed her case to proceed through federal court. The court did not address the merits of the case but rather the jurisdiction.

I think prescription anti-depressants killed him. And no, not an overdose of anti-depressants, but rather a normal course. The latest reports show the coroner alluding to this.

From [Link](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060927/en_nm/smith_dc)

“The report quoted pathologist Cyril Wecht, who was hired by Smith to look into her son’s September 10 death, as saying Daniel Smith died from a combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro that led to cardiac dysrhythmia.”

I learned the other day from a program re another"mysterious" methadone-related death that even a teaspoon of it can cause death. And, of course, we all know that methadone is used to wean drug addicts off the hard stuff.

So the kid was hooked on drugs and he was depressed. Hardly surprising given his circumstances but still sad.
