Yahoo gives dead Marine’s family e-mail info

Yahoo has pledged to give the family of a Marine killed in Iraq full access to their son’s e-mail account, ending a court battle that began after his parents sought messages he wrote before his death. An Oakland County probate judge signed an order directing Yahoo to provide the contents of the e-mail account used by Lance Cpl. Justin M. Ellsworth. Yahoo, which originally refused the family’s request to hand over the account, did not fight the order and gave the family a CD containing more than 10,000 pages of material.
