ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- Judge Lawrence Kirkwood granted the temporary injunction Monday, and it will be in effect until a hearing is held on the matter next week. The video was captured by a security camera at SeaWorld Orlando.
The judge says he will decide at the hearing whether the need to
publicly evaluate what happened outweighs the privacy concerns of
trainer Dawn Brancheau's family.
The 40-year-old trainer was killed almost three weeks ago after
being thrashed underwater by the whale after a performance.

Thank goodness the judge has held this video. I believe out of respect for the family this does not need to be released.
