quote:

Edwin Edwards, the Louisiana governor known as much for his wit as his political feats and foibles, scrawled his final wishes in just a few sentences on a sheet of legal paper in 2017.

The handwritten document, which was filed this week in Ascension Parish as part of Edwards' succession, contains fewer than 150 words. It leaves everything he owns to Eli, his 8-year-old son with third wife Trina Scott Edwards.


quote:

"He had a very close bond to Eli - very, very close. He loved that child. That child loved him," Honeycutt said.

The father and son were separated in age by nearly 86 years, but could not have been closer companions, he said.

"He was so much closer to Eli than he was to his other four kids," Honeycutt said.


quote:

Trina Edwards' attorney has asked that the public not be able to get a look at precisely what those assets are, requesting that the document that details cash, property, bank accounts and possessions be filed under seal.

Edwin Edwards could not order a cup of coffee with fewer than 150 words. This has to be a fake.

While entirely anticipated from Edwin Edwards, I am surprised there are not multiple versions.

No shite? He stole from the people, and she's stealing from his other three kids. What a circle.

In the will, he wrote, "I hope my other children realize that I do not love Eli more, or them less, but realize what I leave him is less than each received in money, property, homes and education..."

This is an interesting note.

Well, now we know why Trina dug him up and cremated him 6 weeks after death. No DNA, no having to share with any other "kids"...

Are the odds for legitimacy out yet?

I have a feeling we're going to be hearing much more about this.
