Link: Hear part of Reeves court case
It offers fascinating insight into these matters and for the first time you hear some of the principals in action, making arguments in front of an appeals court in which judges ask the lawyers questions.
Make up your own minds as to whether or not Mr. Davis got fair representation. Remember that the plaintiffs represented in court that day (eg. Reeves niece Lani Arnold), constitute FOUR individuals -- a very small percentage of the heirs named in Mary's will.
But as I have commented previously, those who pursued this matter for so many years did so because there was obviously a vendetta against Terry instead of, IMHO, an earnest effort to resolve the case years ago before the estate was drained nearly dry by legal fees. In retrospect, it was a very bad and self-defeating strategy in which the only thing that seems to have been accomplished is that Mary's remains were moved to the Jim Reeves Memorial in Carthage.
Otherwise, the Reeves estate appears to remain in disarray, with no one guiding his musical legacy or working to perpetuate his name.
Along the way, Jim's estate was plundered by charlatans and other opportunists including junk dealers and unscrupulous eBay sellers (one of whom is a habitual liar whose lies I was able to capture on tape in my dealings with her). How sad that the very thing Mary Reeves personally told me she had paid lawyers big money to PREVENT, ended up happening: Jim's legacy was severely and irreparably harmed.
