The attorney for the family of Jahi McMath, a brain-dead 13-year-old girl, says he has received death threats and harsh criticism over his work on the case.

Christopher Dolan told the San Jose Mercury News that people have accused him of exploiting McMath and her family by fighting medical experts who say she is legally dead.

"If it was my daughter, I'd do everything I'm doing for this family," he told the paper.

1. he probably has but i think he also seems like the type who is exploiting this whole thing

i'm sure many people who get any attention in public get death threats.

2. Death threats? From whom?

And harsh criticism? Well boo fucking hoo.
Don't defend the indefensible then.

12. Jahi?

3. He shouldn't be...

receiving death threats, but harsh criticism is fair game.

4. Doubt he is getting death threats.

5. Have seen Mr Dolan in the news ...

It seems he wants to litigate the case on the steps of the Hospital. That is a bad sign for the family, and what they want.

6. I smell an "agenda" here, by

lots of the players. Very sad.

11. You mean like this one?

7. I find the death threats hard to believe

but harsh criticism, sure. He's kind of begging for it.

17. I don't

There are some weird people out there.
People send threats to pro athletes and/or coaches when a player doesn't get enough points and their fantasy sports team loses.
There are people who use anonymity as a license to threaten and harass.
And when they're caught they say, "I was only joking."

8. Any person in the media spotlight gets death threats

The issue, or side of it the person is on, doesn't matter.

It's enough to have your name associated with a contentious issue of any kind. There are psychos who get worked into a lather by the news, and take it out on anyone they can.

9. This is just the next phase

of keeping it in the news.

10. I haven't gotten the impression he believes in death. nt

19. LOL!

14. Growing weary with carting the deteriorating body around, the victim card has been played.

15. Bullshit

Opponents of Jahi's family's decision have nothing but compassion and sympathy for their plight and said opponents have generally endorsed grief counseling.

This lawyer is evil and is clearly lying about death threats. Death threats occur when someone's actions injure someone economically or ideologically -- neither of which has happened. There is a pro-life ideology out there but there really isn't a pro-death group that would want to harm this jerk.

He is playing Machiavelli and manipulating the media.

18. Good point cosmicone. nt

16. He has nothing to worry about.

They can just hook him up to a ventilator and keep him alive forever.
