Cornwell, after all, worked in the Virginia Medical Examiner's Office.

So the families filed a civil suit against Cornwell last year.
Now they've persuaded 15 lawmakers from both parties to sponsor a resolution that would study how to better protect autopsy records from unauthorized public disclosure.
