At newsstands across colorado yesterday, they were turning the trucks away.
NO ONE HAS ACCEPTED IT SO FAR.
They don't want the globe because crime scene photographs of six year old
jonbenet ramsey are in this week's issue. cbs news is not airing the photos,
and most major supermarkets and 7-11 stores are boycotting the tabloid. but at
newsstand, outside boulder, the globe is selling swiftly.
I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT THEY'RE BANNING IT IN BOULDER AND
I'M ONLY BUYING IT BECAUSE NOBODY CAN TELL ME WHAT I CAN READ AND WHAT I CAN'T
READ.
Boulder law enforcement argues the globe photos will jeopardize the
investigation. the photos include closeups of Jonbenet's hand and the rope
that was reportedly used to strangle her.
The county attorney has asked for a
restraining order, to stop the globe from publishing more pictures of
jonbenet's body.
MIMI WESSON:THEIR PUBLICATION COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE INVESTIGATION AND
EVENTUAL PROSECUTION OF THE CASE IN MY OPINION.
Criminal law professor mimi wesson says the photos take investigative
tools out of the hands of police and give the advantage to the killer.
