Snark, Critic and Pop!

John Goodman (the wealthy 48 year old polo club founder, not the legendary actor) has legally adoptedhis long time girlfirend Heather Laruso Hutchins, 42.  She is a lucky woman, as Goodman is a class act.  On February 12th, 2010 he ran a stop sign in his Bently and smashed into a car killing Scott Patrick Wilson.  He failed to call the police or an ambulance while leaving the scene on foot.  When the police found and tested him his blood alcohol content was twice the legal limit.  Wilson’s family has filed a civil suit against Goodman which goes to trial next month, however a judge has ruled that money in trust for his children is protected from any potential settlement.  I’m not saying this is a move to use this ruling to protect his assets, but this is a move to use the ruling to protect his assets.  What gets me is this: I would be willing to make the assumption tht after dating for such a long period of time, the couple are having intimate relations.  He has now adopted her, so any action he gets is now incest which I have to believe is illegal.  None of the articles I have read regarding this have even hit at this angle, so perhaps there is something I am missing, but this is all kinds of wrong.
