I don't see the photo as trying to glamourize the kid. It's the same photo that was also used in the Times at some point.

If they wrote a hard knocking inside story on the kid/tragedy, what are they supposed to put on the cover, Lady Gaga?

So I really have no problem with it.


I saw someone post this on twitter, is that photo worse/more offensive than this one?

I agree with Hooves, I dont read this publication very often but I totally do not support any type of glamorization of criminals, especially murdurers (albeit innocent until proven guilty).

Freedom of speech but very poor taste.
Happy most places in Massachusetts have refused to put it on the shelves.
