Summary:Bernice King and Martin Luther King III sued Dexter King last year, claiming he's abused and misused money from their father's estate. Bernice and Martin showed up in Fulton Superior Court for a daylong hearing, but Dexter was absent. Dexter's attorneys say he's still recuperating from a broken leg suffered in a California car accident two months ago. The second defeat was Dexter's attempt to have his brother and sister's lawsuit thrown out. His attorneys argued that Bernice and Martin had not proved any damages from the way Dexter has handled their father's estate and, in fact, have even benefited from it.
