MLK Heirs Get More Time To Settle Bible, Nobel Medal Dispute
A judge is giving the children of Martin Luther King Jr. more time to try to resolve a dispute over their father’s traveling Bible and 1964 Nobel medal without a trial.
King’s estate, controlled by his sons, last year asked a judge to order their sister to surrender the items. In an estate board of directors meeting, the brothers, Martin Luther King III and Dexter King, had voted against their sister, Bernice King, to sell the items.
The trial had been set for February, but the judge stayed the case in January at the parties’ request to allow them time to settle. In his order, the judge scheduled a hearing for Wednesday if no settlement had been reached.
In an order signed Tuesday, he extended that deadline to May 27.
