The police said "we can't do anything until he's done it" basically.
BUT it was orignally gonna be on at 9pm, live wasn't it? Which I think was the issue - performing a LIVE autopsy on TV, rather than it just being the highlights than it was. BUT my Law teacher reckons it's to do with channel hoppers, fair enough you don't have to watch it if you don't want to, but if you're somebody who's just flicking through all the channels and happen to flick onto that, you see it for a few seconds and could be scarred for life/disturbed by it etc.
