The Public Duty Doctrine.76: Dr. Phil

Dr. Phil's show today was entitled "What's Wrong With People?"

One of the segments involved airing the brutal beating of a girl, Aiesha Steward-Baker, at a Seattle bus terminal in front of security staff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vU81qkuvcU

Dr. Phil stated that Aiesha had actually approached Seattle police first and was told to move on.

Nancy Grace, a former Atlanta district attorney and guest on the show today, commented on the attack.

However, neither Dr. Phil nor Nancy Grace mentioned The Public Duty Doctrine, either specifically or generally.
