The Supreme Court has decisive to let a lawsuit ensue beside Hustler magazine over stripped photographs it available of Nancy Benoit that were published after she was killed by her husband, pro wrestling superstar Chris Benoit.
The court denied Hustler's appeal on Monday. Benoit murdered his wife and their son, Daniel, before killing himself back in 2007.
Hustler soon after published 20-year-old nude pictures of Nancy after the deaths hit the mainstream media.Her family filed a lawsuit against the Larry Flynt Publishing Group, the company that publishes Hustler, in which they claimed that Nancy, a model and former wrestler, had asked the photographer to destroy the photographs right after they had been taken.
A federal judge had before ruled in favor of Hustler back in October 2008, dismissing the lawsuit and concluding that the magazine could print the pics as her death was a "legitimate matter of public interest and worry."
