Celebrity Justice
Family Judge: No DNA from Dannielynn

Posted Feb 28th 2007 12:10PM by TMZ Staff

A Florida family court judge just rejected Larry Birkhead's lawyer's request to take a DNA sample from Dannielynn Stern, the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith that Birkhead claims he fathered. However, the judge agreed to "help" the California judge deciding the paternity case with any DNA evidence from Smith that's necessary.

Judge Lawrence Korda ordered the DNA taken from Anna Nicole's body to be preserved if it is needed by Judge Robert Schneider of Los Angeles County Superior Court to decide the paternity battle between Larry Birkhead and Howard K. Stern.

Interestingly, in response to a lawyer's question, he said that by Florida law it is "conceivable" that a child can have two fathers.

1. C'mon already.....all they need to do is take a swab from her cheek, maybe a tube of blood.....she's a BABY......doesn't everyone want to get this resolved before she's old enough to realize she's surrounded by chaos???

Is this another judge seeking more air time????

3. Well, Howard wins this one 'cause he's already bought off the Bahama officials.

A child can have "two fathers" in Florida? Once again, ANOTHER Flori-Duh judge shows his ignorance.

9. What the hell!!!!! Doesn't anyone care about this baby in the court system????? I can't believe how easy it is to do a DNA test and everyone is running away like it is a death sentence. Well, I think Howard K. $tern should just give this shit up and having the baby tested. This is NOT helping him or Danielynn...This SUCKS!!!!!

10. Odd, he doesn't want to know who the real father! HKS refuses to submit DNA or settle the paternity question! HKS is the one holding up the burial!

12. I HEARD ON AIR THAT WHEN LARRY BIRKHEAD VISITED WITH DANNIELYNN THAT SHE THREW UP ON HIM. IF IT WAS ON HIS CLOTHING THEN DNA COULD BE EXTRACTED FROM IT.
