Geraldo Shocks the World with Pictures of Anna Nicole Smith's Dead Son

Geraldo Rivera shocked the world tonight when he showed the picture of Anna Nicole Smith clutching her dead son Daniel Smith a short while after he died in the hospital room where she had just given birth to her baby girl, Dannielynn. Howard K. Stern had shared with the world just days before on Larry King Live that he had taken the pictures at Anna Nicole’s request.
Tonight, Ford Shelly turned copies of this picture along with some video tapes of Anna Nicole Smith to Geraldo to share with the world. Ford Shelly gave a different account of how the gruesome picture came about though. Ford Shelly father, C. Ben Thompson, claimed that Howard K. Stern took the pictures stating that this would be worth money some day. C. Ben Thompson denied Mr. Sterns’s stating that Anna Nicole Smith never asked Howard to take the photos.
Ford Shelly said he planned on turning the tapes over to authorities so they can be used for an investigation into the death of Anna Nicole Smith.

What comes to my mind is why would they show this and why now? If Ford Shelly really believed this was something to be investigated why did he wait until now?
