The two brothers who survived a Christmas Day tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo that killed their friend were denied help for at least 30 minutes by zoo security who did not take their claims seriously, the brothers' attorney said Tuesday

    This is all assuming that the brothers are telling the truth.

    I say this because Mark Geragos is not an accident-injury attorney, but a criminal defense attorney. It sounds more to me that we have a case of a criminal defense attorney trying to make a case for cutting a deal to help his clients avoid prosection for some misdeed. Considering that these 'innocent victims' still have yet to make a statement to the police and that they've sought out a criminal defense attorney in the absence of any charges makes pretty much anything they have to say come off as suspect.

    Or he sees a potential for a large lawsuit or settlement and wants a piece of that action.

    Still, hypothetically speaking, if the 3 victims were taunting the tiger that still doesn't absolve the zoo of having a below standard wall.

    Geragos has never taken on a sizable civil lawsuit before. I doubt this is any different. He has two clients who came to him for defense from potential prosecution and he's playing an angle. That's all.
