New York Judge A. Kirke Bartley has refused to set aside a jury verdict that socialite Brooke Astor's son, Anthony Marshall, stole from the famed philanthropist's $132 million estate. Marshall had challenged the verdict on the ground that Bartley had failed to conduct an inquiry after receiving a jury note that one of the jurors had felt threatened during deliberations. Bartley said his instruction to the jurors that they should proceed with civility and respect was "appropriately tailored to meet the unique circumstances."
