Dispute Over Sealed Earnhardt Photos Heats Up
The Alligator argues NASCAR pressed Teresa Earnhardt to seal autopsy photos to shield safety concerns while Earnhardt lawyers claim access is to draw public attention. Witness Bohannon, who saw the photos, says no NASCAR coercion occurred. The Florida attorney general counters retroactive application and non fundamental access to public records. The hearing followed a crash and NASCAR comments about a broken seat belt disputed by medics and the manufacturer.
