Statement from Ariella Lehrer, President & CEO, Legacy Interactive, Inc.
Los Angeles, CA June 20, 2007 -- Legacy Interactive sends our most heartfelt apology to the family of James Bulger for the inadvertent use of a background photo in our Law & Order game. The image was included in the game years ago and without any knowledge of the crime, which occurred in the UK and was not known to the U.S. artists who worked on the game. Despite reports speculating that the image is a clue, or that the fictional case is a kidnapping, this is completely false. Legacy is proud of its reputation of providing years of family and educational gaming. This was the first time such an event occurred.
We have created a patch for the game that removes the photo, and the photo will be removed from any future printings of the game. Owners of the game who wish to remove it can download a patch from www.legacyinteractive.com.
