Bert Stern has filed a law suit at Michael Weiss and Donald Penny for accusing them of stealing his photos of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, just months before her death. Weiss and Penny claim they found the photos in the garbage and that there was no name or anything on them that indicated Stern's ownership. Their lawyer, James Brickell, also said that Weiss and Penny made a deal with Stern and that was to get prints for the pictures in exchange for the originals; they said Stern asked them for money instead but backed out when they refused. Stern said that was a heap of rubbish. He and his lawyer, Stephen Weingrad, declared it was unlawful for a photographer to have to pay ransom for his photos. They also accused of Weiss and Penny to have been rude when Stern had offered money to pay for their defendants' troubles with returning the photos. Who do you think is the rightful owner of the photographs? Who do you think will win?
