well now of course he gets nothing..

i read this article earlier this morning.

this is why a Will, or trust needs to be set up.


but still, the dead brother "could of" parted ways with some of that land, if only to keep the family harmony.

if "bad blood" from thier earlier growing up was never settled.............

Never discount the depth of anger and hate over such things as inherited property. I agree a trust and will can go a long way to avoid conflict

Walter Birdsong was fairly well known in the South. He invented the Black-T teflon gun finish which was quite popular for being extremely tough.
Its a shame when the death of a family member leads to such anger. But it happens quite often.

After the loss in court brother should have moved on. Fault would be on not getting the will changed not the brother who got the land. The tragedy here is a family was destroyed over nothing.

exactly, it was the fathers fault.........could have even been a "rift" between the father and that son as well, and the father just left him out, or as i said, never got a Will or trust set up.

but still the other brother "could have" given him a few acres of land, if to only keep the family together.

then again, was there an issue that the shooter had over all with everyone..??

its a done deal.
