Two San Jose brothers mauled by a tiger at the San Francisco Zoo on Christmas Day have refused to allow police to examine their cell phones for possible text messages or photos believed to be taken the day of a tiger's escape. In a letter sent Friday to the brothers' attorney, celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos, San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera asked that Paul and Kulbir Dhaliwal preserve "this potentially critical evidence."
"The digital content of your clients' cell phones, which we understand are currently in the possession of the police, may help reconstruct what happened at the tiger exhibit and cafe," Herrera wrote.
Geragos did not return a phone call from MediaNews

Really good up to date and smart post there. If you had been drugged up are drunk for the past few day's.
Police have also said there is no proof of that and the lady in question said four boys were roaring at the lions.
The zoo can claim the enclosure had 99.9% uptime.
And if it is found that the yoots dangled or moved a tree branch or other object which undermined the safety of the enclosure?
Like the cat could have done that at any time ~ and so could another cat and another and another.
How is it possible for any victim to "contribute" to that underlying problem?
Everyone seems to be under the impression that the cage wasn't simply unlocked and that cat turned loose, with the cage then being relocked.
The Joker would do such things you know, so it's not unthinkable. The Penguin would do worse.
Think about why everyone is rejecting the hypothesis that someone let a cat loose ~ is it because the same Administrator who told us the enclosure was high enough at 20 feet, and then 16 feet finally 'fessed up that 12.5 feet wasn't really enough is an unimpeachable source of information in this matter? Even the uberLiberal Wikipedia.com crowd says these cats can jump higher!
Somebody at the zoo knows what happened and they are not talking. Maybe the guy at the Cafe who wouldn't let 2 of the victims inside to escape the cat knows.
Think about it, here he is in charge of the only safe viewing place and he refuses to let 2 guys on the run from that cat in. Was he waiting on the fun?
If that is the case and the tiger was able to escape from the cage due to what they did they would be at fault.
