Haven't Nicaricos suffered enough?

Posted July 28, 2009 11:00 pm

I do understand that the Daily Herald has the journalistic responsibility to continue the coverage of Brian Dugan's court hearings and provide their readers with recent updates. However, is it really necessary to include a picture of Jeanine Nicarico in every article?

Each time I see the photograph of this precious little angel next to the photograph of the evil and convicted double-murderer, Brian Dugan, I cringe; no, I am sickened by it, and it always makes me think of Jeanine's parents, Tom and Patricia.

While I want to see justice for the Nicarico family as much as anyone, I view the photographs of an innocent child side-by-side with her (presumed) killer as being insensitive to the family. Haven't the Nicaricos suffered enough?
