Just an update... Initially, the attorney for the family of Anamarie Martinez-Regino retained the services of my firm. The next morning, however, he informed us he did not have the funds necessary. My boss, Dave Avrin, made an offer; he would go to Albuquerque and organize media coverage of today's hearing at no charge, provided he could be the family's spokesperson. The attorney refused. I'm disappointed but, frankly, more for the girl. The court of public opinion is very important in a case like this and so far, attorney Troy Prichard's appearances have done little to help this family. FYI, an AP story, citing a social worker's affadavit, says "a doctor diagnosed Anamarie's condition as leptin receptor deficiency, a rare genetic defect. It causes victims to think they're hungry, even after they've eaten." I will be the first to admit the mother and father may not have followed the doctor's recommendations to a 't', but, in my humble opinion, there is NO WAY you could make a child this fat and certainly no way one could make a child 50% taller than other children her age. Something else is going on here and my prayer for Anamarie is that there's a doctor who can make a proper diagnosis. Dori Zook Denver, CO
