The Versace Experience

A still photograph taken from the WPLG tape ran on the Associated Press wire service and has appeared in newspapers throughout Europe. "We've never had a shot that went around the world like that," Hernandez said. "It's pretty cool. At the same time it is sad that it had to happen this way, that somebody like Versace had to be killed."

Boyer said he has received a few complaints from viewers who think the videotape is in poor taste. "I agree with them that it was a horrific shot," Boyer said. "And I think at WPLG we've tried to be conservative with the use of it. We haven't played it over and over again. Still, it is a part of the story and it is the only video of the last few moments of the guy's life. Who didn't want to see that?
