SUMMARY: Texas judge ruled that a lawsuit filed by the father of the late legendary Tejano singer Selena may proceed on Friday.Abraham Quintanilla, the father of the Grammy Award-winner, is suing his daughter’s widower Chris Perez. Perez wants to adapt for television To Selena With Love, his memoir of his life with the music icon.The lawsuit argues that Perez signed away the rights to Selena’s likeness and name to her estate after she was fatally shot in 1995 by her fan club president, who is currently serving a life sentence in prison, the Associated Press reports. Perez’s lawyers argued the lawsuit should be dismissed, citing his free speech rights.
ANALYSIS: I am glad the judge made this decision. I believe this show wasn't going to happen in Selena's honor but instead in his favor. That's very shady. I understand that he has free speech rights but to what extent if the show is going to have Selena speaking in it. Selena isn't here to testify or give her opinion so they are all better off if it didn't happen at all.
