LAS VEGAS (AP) — A dispute over B.B. King's health and wealth was tossed out of court yesterday by a judge in Las Vegas who said two investigations found no evidence the blues legend was being abused. The ruling keeps the 89-year-old musician's longtime business manager, Laverne Toney, in legal control of his affairs. Three of King's 11 surviving children said outside court they suspect Toney is stealing money and neglecting King's medical needs while blocking them from seeing their father in home hospice care. They vowed to keep fighting.
