At the Unfinished Lives Project we've also been giving a great deal of thought to Newsweek's cover story. In the final analysis, we also believe the article is fraught with irresponsible journalism.

What Setoodeh's article fails to do is say that murder is never, under any circumstance, warranted. Ever. The result is that Larry King is made to be the instigator of his own murder, while Brandon McInerney (Larry's assailant) receives the larger share of sympathy in the story.

We're grateful that blogs like yours are bringing the Newsweek story into a broader conversation. Otherwise, Larry's voice might get lost amid a world of busy days and rapid news cycles.

Thanks again.

Respectfully,
The Unfinished Lives Project
