The family of tycoon J. Howard Marshall II say they’re more committed than ever in their legal battle against ex-Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith.

The announcement comes a month after the death of E. Pierce Marshall, who fiercely fought with Anna over his father’s oil fortune.”Nothing has changed from the family’s standpoint as to how this case should end up and we will handle it as Pierce did, in his honour,” the family say.

Former stripper Anna Nicole Smith married J. Howard Marshall in 1994, when he was 89 and she was 26. He died a year later, igniting a legal battle over the tycoon‘s fortune.
