The Toronto Globe and Mail reports that former Grizzlies Blue Edwards has lost a custody dispute over his four year old son.  The ruling ends a long and complicated case, ending up at the Supreme Court of Canada.  

Race was a significant issue, particularly when the original ruling in favour of the mother was overturned.  Kimberly Van de Perre is white while Blue Edwards is black.  There are more details in the article we've linked to.  Van de Perre had an affair with Edwards beginning in 1996. Their son, Elijah, was born in June, 1997.  He has spent a lot of time the past couple of years commuting between Vancouver and North Carolina, and new access arrangements still need to be worked out.
