MONTREAL – Arturo Gatti's widow can no longer be questioned at trial about the night before the boxing champion died.
Justice Claudine Roy agreed Friday with the lawyer for Amanda Rodrigues, who argued the events of that night are not relevant to the ongoing civil trial dealing with the late boxer's estate.
Rodrigues and the Gatti family are disputing who should get the estimated $3.4 million in Gatti's estate.
On Thursday, Rodrigues testified that a drunken Gatti hit her in public and was involved in a street brawl just hours before he died in a Brazilian resort in 2009.
Gatti was found dead the next morning in their vacation home. His family does not accept the conclusion of Brazilian authorities that he committed suicide.
The family also rejects the legitimacy of the will, signed weeks before his death, that left everything to Rodrigues.
