With parties flying in from afar to lay claim to the body of former Playmate and reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith, a sobbing Florida judge gave custody of the body Thursday to a lawyer who didn't know he had a role in the case when Smith died two weeks ago.

Milstein, an Akerman Senterfitt attorney appointed last week as guardian ad litem for Smith's 5-month-old daughter, has seemed above the fray as the proceedings quickly degenerated into a circus-like atmosphere.
