Fight Over Rothstein Estate Reaches Courts In New York
In New York on December 15 the Rothstein estate battle moves to court as two wills clash over a fortune now under two million. Inez Norton the showgirl friend rejects a lump sum for her one sixth share. The will she benefits from was signed as Rothstein lay dying and unable to fully sign his name, while relatives seek a declaration that this is not his last testament. Reports say Gilly Biller, wanted for murder in the Rothstein shooting, may surrender soon. Prosecutor Tuttle readies for Monday’s start on the Unger narcotics case tied to Rothstein financing. McManus's murder trial may be delayed until the other three defendants are captured.
