Tiger Attack Jackassery -- You Read It Here First

| | Comments (0) |

Following up on my suggestion of 11 days ago, the San Francisco police are trying to take a look at the tiger-attack victims' cell phones. And wouldn't you know it, attorney-to-the-shameless Mark Geragos won't let them. Go figure.

I stand by my prediction of 12-27: These kids were trying to get on "Jackass," or at least YouTube, and Tatiana upset their plans. The proof, I suspect, is on those cell phones ...

Meanwhile, Geragos, when he's not suing the zoo, is also representing the family of Nataline Sarkisyan, the Northridge girl who died when her insurance company refused to pay for a liver transplant. Says Geragos, "If you're driving a car and you have an accident and you kill someone, you could be charged with murder. Why wouldn't the same happen with insurance companies?"

It's a strong-sounding argument, but seeing that Geragos spends his time trying to help actual killers (e.g. Scott Peterson) try to evade justice, he's the hardly the one to now be calling for the death penalty for an HMO.

Heres a question for Gergaos to ponder:

If you're driving a car and you have an accident and you kill someone, you could be charged with murder. Why shouldn't the same happen to men who kill their wives and unborn children?
