GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
LOOK: Amazing Underwater Photos Of Dogs
The March issue of Hustler Magazine magazine will feature nude photos of Nancy Benoit, who was murdered last year by her husband, professional wrestler Chris Benoit, who then killed their son and himself.The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Thrash denied a request for a temporary restraining order against publication brought by Nancy Benoit's mother. The pictures were taken 25 years ago, when Nancy was a 19-year-old aspiring model. It is not clear how Hustler acquired the photos; Nancy's first husband, who was present when the photos were taken, testified that he had been told all copies were destroyed.
From a First Amendment perspective, this is obviously the right legal decision. As Hustler publisher Larry Flynt has demonstrated many times, the First Amendment is there to protect free speech and free press for everyone, including publishers of content that the vast majority of Americans would find tasteless.
But it's mostly just sad, to think of the 19-year-old Nancy envisioning herself living as a famous model some day. Instead her lasting fame comes from the way she died.
