No, it still seems to me that he should have been honest: "No, I won't give you this ice" (pointing to the necklace) "but I'll be happy to get You one. Let me talk to you after the shoot."

The whole staging was all Culpepper's fault and not the reporters. It looks petty to EVER take something away after you give it, no matter the circumstances. It smacks of being a publicity hound---and for the record, I know DC has a rep as a nice guy. It was mishandled on his part---not the press's, and I usually don't stick up for the media.

it was portrayed as if the family's dreams had been shattered. the journalism was irresponsible, and (deliberately?) cast culpepper in a bad light.

it's no different from the selective omissions that get our blood boiling over the media's treatment of GWB.

Letting the kid hold on to his necklaces and take some pictures does not mean that he "gave" them away.

This isnt mean joe green tossing a dirty jersey away.
