However, jurors found a lawyer and an accountant committed fraud and ordered them to pay just over $2 million in damages. The two also were found innocent of many other charges. The civil racketeering lawsuit, filed by Marley's estate administrator, sought at least $14 million and accused Rita Marley, accountant Marvin Zolt of New York and lawyer David J. Steinberg of Bala Cynwyd, Pa., of backdating documents and forging Marley's signature to remove assets from the estate. Marley left an estate worth $30 million, and his music continues to earn about $2.7 million each year. This article is copyright 1992 The Los Angeles Times Home Edition.
