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 respect than that. In my opinion.
