WOBURN – For the first time since her only son was shot inside a Harvard University dorm, Denise Cosby today spoke directly to one of the men allegedly responsible for ending the life of her youngest child.

Denise Cosby was the mother of Justin D. Cosby, a Cambridge man who authorities have said was a drug dealer with customers on the Cambridge campus of the world-famous college.
“Today I sit here and look into the face of what is supposed to be a man,’’ Cosby said in a stern voice. “You are a fool.’’

Cosby directed her cold anger and sharp words towards Jason Aquino, one of three New York City men who came to Cambridge on May 18, 2009, intent on robbing Justin Cosby of marijuana and cash.

Instead, Cosby was shot while all four men were inside the J entry of Harvard’s Kirkland House residential building.

Shaquille O’Neal, living up to all of his 7-foot, 1-inch hype, is heading over to Harvard Square now to pose like a statue — as promised.

The Celtics [team stats] center just Tweeted “on my way to harvard square lol dam I phone my fingers r to big statue time.’’

Shamroq, as he would now like to be called, said two weeks ago there’s “no conversation.” Just sitting and snapping of pics for an hour.

If you want your photo taken with Shaq, better get running. We are.

If you do pose with the imposing big guy, send your photo to us at heraldsquare@bostonherald.com ... where you can send any cool photo. Who knows, we may run some of your shots in tomorrow’s Herald and always online at bostonherald.com.

As for Shaq, he’ll start the season at center when the Celtics open Tuesday night at the TD Garden vs. the Miami Heat — who are a “loaded baked potato,” as the Herald’s Steve Bulpett writes today, with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh hoping to bounce the Heat to the NBA championship.

Today, Shaq stands ... or sits ... above them all in Harvard Square.

Shaq did Tweet at about 1 p.m. “on my way to Barbara square it’s statue time.” He then quickly corrected himself tapping out “I mean on my way to harvard square ...”
