The lawsuit surrounding the tragic and violent death of Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez last year has been anything but a gentlemanly affair.
Through motions and quotes to the media, the lawyers who represent the two men who died alongside Fernandez in a boat crash and those who work for Fernandez’s estate have traded barbs that include the words “callous” and “gross” as well as “incendiary.”
This week, however, court records show both sides — the plaintiff families of Emilio Macias and Eduardo Rivero and Fernandez’s defendant family — agreed on one thing: They don’t want the autopsy photos of the three men to end up online or in the papers.
