The family of a California teenager plan to sue her health insurer which refused to pay for a liver transplant until hours before she died on Thursday night.
Her family's lawyer, Mark Geragos, will ask the Los Angeles district attorney to press murder or manslaughter charges against Cigna HealthCare, arguing that the firm "maliciously killed" Nataline Sarkisyan by its reluctance to pay for her treatment. The company reversed its stance after protesters called for a rethink, but the decision came too late.

PS The lawyer, Mark Geragos, really loves the limelight. He's the guy who defended Scott Peterson, Michael Jackson and Winona Rider when she got busted shoplifting....
