9-11 Widow Triumphs in N.H. Court; Allowed to Keep Her Trusted Lawyer

By Mark Anderson

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.H. Courageous 9-11 widow Ellen Mariani has often lamented that she has “no body to bury,” since her deceased husband Louis Neil Mariani’s body was never recovered when he died during the 9-11-01 attacks. According to the government’s disputed account, Neil Mariani, at age 59, died aboard United Airlines Flight 175 when it hit the south tower of the World Trade Center on 9-11-01.

Still saddened by the loss of a spouse she loved so much, Mariani tells friends she needs closure. But she also wants justice. Money alone won’t do. Justice sometimes comes in increments. Consider the New Hampshire Probate Court’s hearing on April 28, held to determine whether to revoke the admission of California attorney Bruce Leichty in the settlement of the estate of Neil Mariani, who was from Derry, N.H.

Since Leichty’s admission was not revoked, he can continue to be Mariani’s counsel. This ruling represents perhaps her first-ever victory in any court case since she became the first widow to refuse the federal payout in 2001. Some say she gave up a $2 million federal bribe to pursue the truth about the murder of her husband. read
