It's yet another example of the vulgar times in which we live that Teresa Earnhardt, widow of NASCAR driver Dale, had to make a public plea that her late husband's autopsy photos not be made available for mass circulation. Earnhardt was killed two weeks ago at the Daytona 500 and Florida law allows news media to obtain copies of autopsy photographs under certain circumstances. Now Mrs. Earnhardt, fearing that the photos could wind up on the Internet (probably a well-founded fear), is urging race fans to petition the Florida legislature in order to block their release.
