Maybe Sam will have better luck if he sues for alimony and child support.

______________________________)


This matter came before the Court pursuant to Petitions for the Formal
Appointment of Personal Representative filed by both parties. This
case was tried on October 7 and 29, 2003. The Plaintiff was
represented by Catherine H. Kennedy of the Richland County Bar. The
Defendant appeared pro se, however, he was previously represented by
Patricia Harrison of the Richland County Bar who was relieved as
counsel by prior Court Order.

The man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.


The sole issue before the Court was which son of the decedent would
better serve as Personal Estate.

Wow! I'll bet this was a really tough call.


The Court carefully reviewed and considered two days of trial
testimony along with seventeen (17) Exhibits in evidence by the
Plaintiff and sixty-six (66) Exhibits in evidence by the Defendant.

66 channels and nothing on.


The following findings and conclusions are made:

l. That this Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this
action and parties hereto.

2. That the Plaintiff and the Defendant are the sole children of the
decedent.

3. That the Estate appears to be worth a total of approximately
$258,000.00 consisting of three bank accounts.

The only reason Sam could have had to have come to Aiken was to get
his hot hands on that estate money.


4. That the Plaintiff has in the past for his mother served as
Attorney-in-fact, temporary Conservator, and Guardian.

5. That the Plaintiff is employed at the Savannah River Plant, is a
South Carolina resident within the Court's jurisdiction, has stable
employment, has never filed bankruptcy, and has and presumably will
have the fine and capable representation by Catherine Kennedy in this
Estate.

Employment can be your friend.


6. That the Defendant filed bankruptcy in 1994, was cited by the
Securities and Exchange Commission for records and bookkeeping
violations in the 1970's, was recently facing eviction from his
residence for being unable to pay rent, has a rather uncertain and
varied employment history, and is a New York resident.

Could we say he'd had a "checkered" (cab) past?

Also, the
Defendant is the current administrator on his father's Estate,
however, the Estate was opened in 1986 and has never been closed.
Finally, the Defendant repeatedly throughout the trial of this case
questioned critically the validity and judicial integrity of the court
system in Virginia and Aiken County, South Carolina.

Well, consider the source.



7. The Defendant presented a sordid and bizarre history of this family
in an attempt to justify this Court in appointing him as Personal
Representative.

I wonder if they even knew about his website?

Numerous allegations, somewhat unbelievable and
spectacular at times, were levied against the Plaintiff involving
kidnappings, mishandling of money, and acts of hatred and dislike for
the decedent.

Somewhat unbelievable?


The evidence presented by the Defendant, and with most
of it being remote and irrelevant having alleged to have occurred in
the 1980's and early 1990's, did not rise to the level of a
preponderance of the evidence standard that must be shown to sustain a
party's burden of proof. The Defendant even admitted during testimony
that "a lot of this is based upon supposition".

In short his case was horses..t.

The Defendant's case
was simply a display of the longstanding feud and sad relationship
between these brothers. Quite remarkable too, the Defendant also
admitted during testimony that the reason for wanting to be appointed
Personal Representative was to "regain ownership of his mother's house
in Virginia so he and his eight children would have a place to live".

Boy that's a stretch. What are the chances that a) Sam's children
could all be collected in one place and b) that they'd all want to live
with Sam in the same house?



SO ORDERED.

DONALD B. HOCKER SPECIAL PROBATE JUDGE AIKEN COUNTY
Laurens, South Carolina
Date: 11-3-03

Add Judge Hocker to the people who are personally out to get Sam. The
only reason Creighton could possibly have had to come to South Carolina
was to get his hot hands on that money.

Best Regards,

Bruce

He has a fool for an attorney too.

God forbid his kids get the money. I mean after all that Sam has lavished on
them.
