Ivy posted this on page 230:
It looks like Katherine's lawyers have sent a document production request to the LA Coroner. They are asking for x-rays (listed on pg 10 of autopsy report) and pathology slides (listed at pg 9 of autopsy report).
LA Coroner has filed objections for several reasons
-
Estate who happens to be the legal representative of Michael was not given notice.
- Estate had previously (at Lloyds lawsuit) had asserted right of privacy.
-
Pathology slides are considered to be remains of a decedent and it will either require consent from the legal representative (Estate) or a court order.
-
X-Rays are photographs / negatives of decedent's body and they are considered to be confidential and privileged by law and cannot be copied.
