Martin Luther King's daughter defiant after estate sues for Bible, Nobel prize'



Quote:

(CNN) -- The daughter of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said Thursday that her brothers won't take King's Nobel Peace Prize and traveling Bible from her without a fight.

Bernice King alleges her brothers Dexter King and Martin Luther King III want to sell the objects, and she told reporters that she won't stand by to let it happen.

The slain civil rights icon's estate -- controlled by his sons -- filed a complaint in Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta last week to force Bernice King to turn over the items.

"Not on my watch," she said at Atlanta's Ebenezer Baptist Church, where her father preached.

And to anyone who would shake their head at yet another court battle between the King siblings, Bernice has a message:

"I would appreciate it if you would refrain from grouping me with my brothers," she said. "They are my brothers, and I do love them. But we are different people, different perspective and different positions. And that should be respected."





The worst part is she may end up having to turn over the items, as the sons are the executors of the estate. She sounds determined , at least.

I don't think judges view things that way, Bren.
They're usually bound by precedence, though there are those who think they are The Law themselves.

Hope she has a good lawyer



Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen
