Testimony from the people at the hospital will be more important than grainy footage hours later.

I'll call it damning. I don't think that it's an accident that ABC placed the logo where they did.


I suspect it's about as much an 'accident', or unintentional/ without motive as is the continual broadcasting of the anachronistic photo of a cherubic youngster.
I don't usually watch much TV. But in the past 24 hrs I've seen more editorializing and slanted, prejudicial reporting on this topic, with any sense of objectivity or critical thinking long abandoned, than any issue I can recently recall.

Notice how far up on the screen the ABC logo is placed? Aprox. 1/3. Odd...

HIPAA laws may interfere there. Of course, never fear, as Nancy Grace is now on the case, and she's never biased in her reporting. No more so than MSN or Fox or the rest of them. :roll:

HIPAA laws may interfere with his injuries being reported before it going to court... After that a judge can have the records pulled... After all it would a key piece of evidence.

HIPPA can't prevent him from providing his records to his lawyer. An activist at the medical establishment could though.

?? How so? A activist can not circumvent a court order.

I wasn't trying to imply that. Sorry for being vague. I was trying to say that someone with an agenda could drag their feet getting a patient copies of his/her own medical records. In this case, delay or prevent Mr. Zimmerman from transmitting his records to his own counsel. You are correct though, once a court order is issued it's pretty much a done deal.

IANAL

More than 2 million people signed this Petition.To be fair I think there should be a Petition for Zimmerman as well or am I being silly?
