Tuesday, Jan 1, 2008 @06:21pm CST Two brothers who were injured by a tiger during a Christmas Day attack at the San Francisco Zoo have hired a high-profile lawyer.
The victims will be represented by defense attorney Mark Geragos whose previous clients have included Michael Jackson and actress Winona Ryder. ABC News reports Geragos is expected to file suit against the zoo on behalf of Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwal. A friend, Carlos Sousa Jr., was killed in the same attack. According to ABCNews.com, Geragos says of the attacks, quote,"there are some very disturbing facts yet to come about, about what happened." He also cites revelations that the wall around the enclosure for the 350-lb tiger was nearly four-feet below industry recommendations. In addition, Geragos called reports that the group had taunted the tiger ahead of the attack as "an urban legend." The tiger was shot to death by police. (Copyright 2008 by Newsroom Solutions) |
