Tiger Survivors' Lawyer Ready to Pounce

Two brothers who survived an attack from an escaped tiger at San Francisco Zoo have hired hotshot lawyer Mark Geragos, ABC News reports. Geragos, whose high-profile clients have included Michael Jackson and wife-killer Scott Peterson, seems to be getting ready to give the zoo a mauling with a major lawsuit. "There are some very disturbing facts yet to come out," he said.

Geragos points to a number of failings by the zoo, and claims that a worker locked one brother out of the zoo cafe during the tiger's attack, leaving him at the animal's mercy. He also charges zoo security was slow to respond to the crisis. "They were deficient on virtually every level," he said of the zoo. The brothers are recovering from their injuries. Their friend was killed in the attack. (More tiger stories.)
