Order Issued in Anna Nicole Smith's Remains Hearing

Judge Seidlin has awarded Anna Nicole Smith's remains to Attorney Milstein, the guardian appointed for her infant daughter Dannielynn. However Seidlin stated that he wanted Anna Nicole Smith to be buried next to her son Daniel in the Bahamas.

Seidlin has also suggested that Attorney Milstein will need to consult with all the parties involved to talk about their wishes and attempt to come to a compromise. Seidlin was sure to emphasize that Milstein ultimately has the final decision on where Anna Nicole Smith's body will be buried.

He closed with "And I hope to God that you guys give the kid the right shot, I sign this order effective almost 4:00, it's a long order, it's a long order."

When Judge Seidlin returned to issue his verdict he first stated, "Once this order is signed, you are done with me" and that he was relinquishing the case to the family court judge and that there is only one issue before this court to decide. "Who is entitled to the remains of Anna Nicole Smith?"

During the live broadcast of the end of the Anna Nicole Smith hearing Judge Seidlin could be seen fighting back tears as he spoke to the participants. He said he has suffered and cried for, and with the all of the participants including Anna Nicole.

Before he left for a brief break before returning to issue his verdict, Seidlin said how much he was concerned with the fact that Daniel was already buried in the Bahamas and that Anna Nicole Smith's wishes were to be buried next to her son.

Seidlin said, "He was trying to figure out in a spiritual sense how to bring it all together."

Seidlin seemed very upset when he told the participants that there has been enough of this baloney and that paternity tests need to be conducted and the biological father of Dannielynn needs to be determined.

Both Smith's mother and Stern had previously agreed that her wishes were to be buried next to Marilyn Monroe. However Stern has claimed that after the death of Smith's son, her wishes had changed and she now wanted buried next to her son.
