Anna Nicole Gets A Boost In Her Battle For Late Husband's Cash.
ANNA NICOLE SMITH has been given a boost as she fights for her late husband's millions - US solicitor general PAUL CLEMENT is on her side.
Clement has asked to argue on behalf of the model/actress when she fights for her oil tycoon husband J HOWARD MARSHALL in the US Supreme Court in February (06).
President GEORGE W BUSH's administration is keen for his legal chiefs to oversee Smith's battle because he doesn't want state courts making federal decisions.
Smith was originally awarded $474 million (£263.3 million), but a federal district judge in Texas reduced the amount to $89 million before throwing the award out altogether earlier this year (05) when Marshall's son E PIERCE MARSHALL challenged the ruling.
Smith wed J Howard Marshall in 1994 - a year before he died.
