Report: Tiger victims had slingshots, empty booze bottle

"Two brothers who were injured when a tiger attacked them at the San Francisco Zoo had slingshots on them at the time, a source said.

An empty vodka bottle was also found in a car used by Amritpal Dhaliwal, 19, and his brother, Kulbir, 23, on the day of the mauling, which left 17-year-old Carlos Sousa Jr. dead, according to the source.

The discoveries could be an indication that the brothers may have taunted the 350-pound Siberian tiger before it leapt from its grotto."

Apparently those brothers haven't been cooperative with police, and haven't even talked to Sousa's dad. But they have hired Mark Geragos to sue the zoo -- even though both brothers are due in court on Jan. 15 for public intoxication and resisting arrest charges in a separate incident. If those brothers fired stuff at the tiger with a slingshot, taunted it while drunk, etc., then I hope Geragos is about as successful as he was defending Scott Peterson.

Geragos says that tiger was out fishing that night, and didn't have nothing to do with it.
