This MUST have a historical parallel. I will not rest until it is found! thedailyfeed: Say wha? This millionaire wanted to spend the rest of his life with his 42-year-old girlfriend, so he adopted her. And that’s just the beginning of the story… The air-conditioner heir’s novel approach to everlasting love has done more than raise eyebrows. It is key to a multimillion-dollar wrongful-death lawsuit by the family of 23-year-old Scott Wilson, whom Goodman is accused of mowing down with his Bentley two years ago in Palm Beach County, Fla. Besides the civil action, the 48-year-old Goodman is facing criminal charges — drunken-driving manslaughter, vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash — in connection with Wilson’s death. His trial starts next month. If convicted of all charges, Goodman could spend up to 30 years behind bars. Wilson’s parents are challenging the adoption of Heather Hutchins, telling a circuit court the move is simply a way to shield Goodman’s fortune. Judge Glenn Kelley granted them access to information about the adoption but admitted he has little power to challenge the move, which has diverted the case into what he described as “a legal twilight zone.”
