I'm confused -- HOW MANY cameras had dead batteries ??

I've read that the coroner (or his asst.) did not take a picture of MB's body because his camera had a dead battery. I've also read that the investigator at the scene of the shooting did not take pictures because his camera had a dead battery. Is this one incident, or two ? Did it happen at the scene, or in the morgue, or both ? Can anyone excerpt the actual transcript where either/both was stated ?

OK, thanks. As bad as that was, I'm glad it wasn't repeated. nt eppur_se_muova Nov 2014 #4

Some reports referred to the one medical examiner with the dead battey as an investigator, and the use of two diferent terms for the same individual in different reports caused a lot of us to do a double-take.

Any professional photographer knows to keep extra batteries on hand. You can get them at Best Buy, Micro Center….

If I was doing a wedding and had to stop because my battery was dead and I didn't' have a spare I would probably be fired.

In this case it was just one more thing that makes the whole thing look like the cops didn't' want to investigate.
