So, yes, Anthony Marshall, the prodigal son of deceased grand dame Brooke Astor, isn't completely getting away with (allegedly!) swindling his own mother out of millions of dollars. Last night, Marshall and his lawyer Francis X. Morrissey Jr were indicted on criminal charges last night based on a grand jury investigation into their treatment of the beloved philanthropist who died last August at age 105. (We liveblogged her funeral!) The specific charges have yet to be announced, but according to the New York Sun, they probably have to do with the nefarious duo's perfidious and wanton manipulation of a senile millionaire's will—including possibly forging her signature on a 2003 amendment to that will.
