George and Cindy Anthony had fought to keep the autopsy report
from becoming public. George Anthony made an emotional plea to
the judge trying to stop the report from being made public. The judge
unwilling had to allow the results to be made public, though he didn't
want to, the law didn't allow him to ban it. The results became public
and were announced all over the television news. 

I agree with George on this one. The results SHOULD not have been
made public. At the very least, news shows should NOT have been
talking so candidly about what was found. Caylee deserved more re-
spect than that. In my opinion.
