Tiger Attack Investigation |
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Carlos Sousa, who was killed in a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo, was buried this week. The Dhaliwal brothers, who were present during the tiger attack, have reportedly apologized to Carlos Sousa’s mother for the incident. The Dhaliwal brothers attended Sousa's funeral with a PI hired by their attorney. The PI was there to ensure that they remained silent about the case and were afforded privacy. There is an investigation underway to determine whether the men were taunting the tiger and whether the zoo failed to heed warnings about unsafe conditions. |

US Laws Under Scrutiny |
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – United States laws are slowly creating a system in which computer forensics work can only be performed by individuals with private investigator licenses. Legislation which has been introduced in South Carolina, for example, would allow only businesses involved in serving legal process or conducting spousal investigations to conduct computer forensics cases. Any computer evidence gathered by anyone else would not be admissible in civil or criminal cases. Many other states already have similar laws. |
