Ted Ammon's estate has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit – for more than $10 million – against Danny Pelosi, the man currently targeted by a Long Island grand jury in Ammon's killing.
Pelosi said he did not kill Ammon and that not only does he not have $10 million, but he has spent all of his $2 million postnuptial payment from his late wife Generosa on lawyers.
The legal action was filed in Suffolk County Supreme Court on Oct. 17 by JP Morgan Chase bank, as executor of Ammon's will. The bank was a co-executor, along with Generosa Ammon.
The filing of the papers came a few days before the second anniversary of Ammon's murder, when the statute of limitations for legal action was about to expire. "The nature of this action is a claim for personal injury and wrongful death, arising from the death of R. Theodore Ammon on Oct. 22, 2001," the court papers said.
