B.B.King's family members are bringing in a prominent national lawyer to review the events surrounding the blues icon's death and estate.
According to Associated
Press, Attorney Benjamin Crump on Friday that he's been hired to take an
independent look at King's May 14 death at age 89 and the handling of King's
finances by his longtime business agent, LaVere Toney.
Four of King's adult
daughters accuse Toney, his designated executor, of looting King's accounts and
endangering his health in his dying days.
A lawyer representing Toney
and the estate says the allegations aren't true.
Crump represented the
family of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, who was fatally shot by a
neighborhood-watch organizer in 2012, and the family of Michael Brown, who was
killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
