As the Anna Nicole Smith baby daddy issue flogs humanity from every available media outlet today (DNA results released) , I heard an exchange on a local Atlanta station. The newsman on that station mentioned the DNA results, then turned to the station's "go to" legal expert for comment.
The legal eagle was asked words to the effect of, "what does this mean for the [Anna Nicole Smith] baby's finances in the future?" The lawyer's reply? He said, "the corpus may be encroached upon by application" in the future for the child's benefit. A cutaway to the weather followed.
75% of the listeners just said "huh?" Apparently it's too much to ask an attorney to speak plainly now on air.
