It appears that CNN’s Nancy Grace will have to answer for her conduct on her program. CNN and Grace have been sued for the wrongful death of Melinda Duckett, who committed suicide after Grace attacked her on the program — suggesting that she was responsible for her own child’s disappearance. Many in the bar are delighted by the lawsuit against Grace who was repeatedly charged with abuses as a prosecutor and has degraded the profession with her snarling sensationalistic program.
U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges rejected a motion to dismiss the lawsuit this week. Grace attacked Duckett, 21, on a show about the disappearance of her Trenton in August 2006. Grace grilled the woman about not taking a lie detector test and being vague about her whereabouts. Duckett went out and killed herself.
Grace proceeded to proclaim that guilt probably made her do it, not Grace’s virtual guilty conviction levied on national television, click here.
Grace was a disgrace as a prosecutor and, before being given her own show, was repeatedly sanctioned or reprimanded by courts for her abuses in court, click here.
Talk shows are increasingly, and legitimately, cited for negligent conduct, click here. The lawsuit against Grace remains a long shot given causation and foreseeability issues as well as obvious plaintiff’s conduct issues. What is astonishing is that CNN and Courttv continue to air this type of vicious, vigilante entertainment.

JT, I think CNN and CourtTV keep this kind of “vicious and vigilante entertainment” (perfectly accurate way of putting it, by the way) for one reason; RATINGS!
Personally, I can’t stand Nancy Grace and others just like her who automatically go for the jugular in these cases. When I heard how she went after this young mother on TV and the tragic result of the mother’s suicide shortly afterward, I knew it wouldn’t be too long before she was finally sued. I hope she loses this suit and will be forced to pay heavy damages. Maybe it will be a lesson to anyone else who thinks acting like judge, jury and executioner on national TV is something to be “proud” of.
The students of the Duke Lacrosse Team should sue her as well. Grace spent show after show ranting about their guilt and the day they were proven to be innocent, she skips the show and has a lackey fill in for her with no apologies.
The only thing that surprises me about the likes of Grace and Beck is that they aren’t on Fox.
Nancy Grace is one of the best things that has happened to television. She cares for the victims, and it shows. Like Mark Klass, and John Walsh, who have all been victims, Nancy cares. She is making a difference. Not only, do we the public, get to phone-in and ask questions, give opinions, so do the involved loved ones of the victims.
Because of Nancy, people are more aware of the hidious crimes that are taking place in this country. Her information just might save your life! Like the serial rapist in New York Central Park, for instance.
Thank God, that Nancy can be aggressive when neccessary! Look at the lies that the Anthonys’ are telling at this time, while the little girl is still missing! Nancy has a heart of gold, and she want justice, and I feel that all of America should feel blessed that we have people like her, John Walch, and Mark Klass.
Mary Beth
Commiting suicde after being questioned by an attorney is “not a normal” reaction. Thousands of people are questioned daily that do not have this reaction ! The woman was simply scared that she was finally “being found out.”
Nancy Grace is making America more aware of the hundreds of horrible crimes that are taking place across this country. She cares, and it shows. Give her a break! Maost people that watch her show, adore her. I know that I do. I wish her continued success. She’s terrific.
Stephen
Most if not all the people that watched Jim Jones and David Koresh “adored” them too, that doesn’t make them adorable. Secondly, it’s great to be an advocate for victims, but when you get it wrong, admit it and APOLOGIZE.
Nancy Grace is a Zionist, man-hating, obese, Jew.
Upon additional research, I discovered that Nancy Grace is not obese. I admit that I made an error, was arrogant in my rush to judgment and would like to apologize for any harm that I may have caused to Ms. Grace, her family and her adoring fans by suggesting that she was obese. Again my sincerest apologies.
You see, that wasn’t so difficult.
zakimar:
For a person so demanding of equal rights for Muslims you seem to have a fascination for pointing out the ethnicity, race, or religion of anyone you despise. Perhaps your argument might fall on more receptive ears if you considered the words of Edmund Burke who quite correctly observed that neither he nor anyone else for that matter, knew “the method for drawing up an indictment against a whole people.” That, it seems, would be your purpose but with dubious or non-existent results. I suggest that if Burke couldn’t do it with his intellect your efforts are less promising and are likely in vain. Why not take on the person’s actions and leave your archaic bigotry behind? Or should we just enjoy the irony of your foolishness?
Mary Beth:
“Like Mark Klass, and John Walsh, who have all been victims, Nancy cares.”
*****************
Unlike Klass and Walsh, all Nancy Grace cares about are ratings and her strident, foolish, and Elmer Gantry-esque take on government and criminal law shows. The only saving “grace” of her show it that it occupies her away from being a prosecutor; a job she miserably attempted* following her admittedly sad brush with crime. Outraged victims surely make poor lawyers, and even poorer commentators on the law it seems.
______________
* I can’t say it any better than the Supreme Court of Georgis who opined on the record that the conduct of the prosecuting attorney [Ms. Grace] in this case demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness, and was inexcusable.”
I think EVERYONE should have “equal rights”. But that doesn’t include Zionists (and other racists) and hypocrites; both groups to which Grace belongs, as well as bigots, pedophiles, murders, liars…. whom I am proud to ‘despise”.
As I have pointed out frequently, I have ALWAYS and will ALWAYS oppose Zionism and other such evil that feels only some people are entitled to human right, dignity and God’s love.
And I think the “irony of your foolishness” is that you can’t or refuse to see that ALL of the Zionists (regardless of race or religion) whom I have referred to on this site are people whose actions or behavior you or any decent and rational person would also despise.
Please feel free to point out a single Zionist whose actions or behavior I have “despised” or disagreed with that you find is an honorable person.
zakimar:
I have no idea if they are honorable or not since I do not know them and,like you, I can only judge their actions or words not their character. Pointing out another’s religion, ethnicity etc. does you no credit and proves nothing except that you consider it important enough to mention in your diatribe against them. It reveals your prejudice and I simply pointed it out. Notice I’ve made no mention of your religion, your race nor your country of origin in my comment. It is irrelevant and stupid to raise in support of any argument.
My pointing out the fact that Grace is a Zionist is no less germane to the kind of person Grace is than your comments from a Judge about her. Except that mine is an opinion and yours is hearsay.
Your kind probably also feels the need to criticize those opposing the likes of Manson, Karadzic, bin Laden and Bush.
zakimar:
“My pointing out the fact that Grace is a Zionist is no less germane to the kind of person Grace is than your comments from a Judge about her. Except that mine is an opinion and yours is hearsay.”
*******************
Pray tell then what germane argument you are making that requires you to mention that she is a Jew.* Your bigotry is showing again and it’s not pretty.
BTW were not in court but if we were the description of Grace is not hearsay when its in the official record of the Supreme Court of Georgia. The finding is manifest public fact and I can provide the cite if you like.
________________________
*”Nancy Grace is a Zionist, man-hating, obese, JEW.” [emphasis added]
I listed two facts, one opinion and one obvious lie in order to make a point about apologizing for stating an error. You are the only person that took it as a negative when a Jew is labeled a Jew – I conclude from that, that you are one yourself, or you must really hate them. If you think that stating a “manifest public fact” like Grace is a Jew is bigotry, that says more about you than it does about me. I notice you had no problem with man-hating.
What’s the alleged tort underlying this wrongful death suit? I imagine it’s Intentional Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress. Maybe Negligence too, in the alternative.
With regard to the former, the Supreme Court’s Hustler case (involving a cartoon depicting Rev. Falwell having sex with his mother) held that the same 1st Amendment protections applicable to a defamation defendant, apply to Emotional Distress defendants, where the alleged emotional distress is caused by speech. Regarding the later, logically, it would seem that the same 1st Amendment protections applicable to Defamation and Emotional Distress defendants, would apply to Negligence defendants too (but that’s a guess on my part.)
However…on the facts of THIS particular case, it may be argued that the defendant’s conduct was not prototypical 1st Amendment-protected expression, but was essentially a Grace-initiated INTERACTION – a vicious verbal assault, publicly branding the victim as a murderer. Maybe that’s a pertinent difference.
Nancy Grace is going to hire some rabid Zionist Jew like Alan Dershowitz to focus attention away from her and argue that she was exercising her First Amendment Rights. If she gets a Judge who is also a Jew, she’ll walk. This is precisely why I worry that not enough Americans are concerned about the concentration of Jews in positions of power in the USA.
One Muslim is elected in the history of the US Congress, and it made news on every media outlet (most controlled by Jews of course). Hundreds of Jews are elected and no one dares say a word about how less than 2% of the population controls that much power.
zakimar:
Unlike you I don’t hate categories of people. I prefer to know something about them individually before passing judgment. Your third world mentality has led you to this sad state of judging others by their ethnicity or religion and I think it the basis for much of the strife in your end of the world. Say what you want about Israel but it is the sole democracy in the region, and it has at least the courage of its convictions to counter the sniffling haters who would launch attacks against their women and children. If those bent on her destruction would fight like men maybe the issue wold be decided once and for all but for now her opponents are like you: vicious bigots lurking in the shadows picking fights with the defenseless and declaring moral superiority for alleged past wrongs. Cowardice is never admired and perhaps that explains the attitude of so many Americans against those in your country. Keep braying zakimar. It confirms the bigotry and hatred that will ultimately undo you and those like you.

Exactly. According to Nancy Grace, only her opinions are the “correct” ones, and they are often completely wrong. I am very glad she is no longer a prosecutor, as her past DISgraceful and unprofessional conduct in that position, in my opinion, make her unfit to practice law.
Zakimar:
When did it become a “manifest public fact” that Nancy Grace is Jewish? She in not. She is of Irish descent. Maybe it’s some sort of weird logic: I don’t like Jews, I don’t like Nancy Grace, therefore Nancy Grace must be a Jew?
Do a little research; she is a little bit of a closet Jew, like Pelosi.
And we all get it, ANYTIME someone criticizes ANY Jew for ANYTHING that makes them “anti-Semites”. I guess if I criticize David “Son of Sam” Berkowitz or Bernhard Goetz, both New York Jews and mass murderers that would make me an “anti-Semite.
Ooops, I got sucked in again. This HAS to be a put-on!
Nancy banned yet again by CNN.
Nancy Grace is apparently banned from CNN property again tonight and unable to cover the latest breaking news. The Anthony case, where Casey has been released and is at home tonight, contrary to all the speculations and accusations made by Nancy Grace. While Nancy was not again being available tonight is nothing new, this case has proven Nancy to be incorrect yet again. Her errors may well be in the millions by now, as Nancy is usually wrong about some facet of every single case she has attempted to cover in recent years. Casey Anthony was released on bond today, even though Nancy Grace said additional charges would prevent that from ever occurring, as documented on the CNN sites. There is also a rumor that the Anthony’s will be suing Nancy Grace and others for their flagrant and illegal accusations against Casey and Cayley, as well as against several members of the family including several friends and relatives. Nancy will likely pay off those proposed lawsuits as she usually does, especially considering she is trying to defend herself against more lawsuits currently filed against her in both state and federal courts right now, again! Maybe Nancy should buy a clue: to never ever victimize anymore victims again as she continues to do.
What is the body-count up to from the unprofessional conduct of Predator Grace?
What does Nancy Grace prefer? Caylee to be found safe, or Casey to be found guilty of murder? Answer: Nancy Grace wants Casey to be found guilty of first degree murder, even though there is no evidence of that, and Nancy will accept nothing but that. And, Nancy cares diddly-squat about anything to do with or about Caylee. Seems Nancy hates all missing children in Florida. It’s funny how Nancy never considers the facts first before she makes up her mind. But, that is nearly an impossible task from drunks and druggies like Nancy.
You can put lipstick on a pig and it’s still Nancy Grace.
Nancy ONLY cares about victims when she is in the RIGHT. She never lets anyone finish a sentance, especially if it makes logical sense..she just site there with that smug look on her face, head in hands and goes NO NO NO NO! When a professional person is trying to answer the questions that she has asked..shes a fat idiot and i hate her smug face and loud , I know it all, mouth
OCALA – Several weeks after a federal judge in Ocala denied a motion to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit brought against television talk show host Nancy Grace and her parent company, CNN, the network has responded with a volley of denials to the allegations, court records show. In a document filed Aug. 19, the defendants deny their actions intentionally inflicted emotional distress on former Lake County resident Melinda Duckett or her surviving parents, Bethann and William Eubank, of Lockport, N.Y. The defendants go on to list several reasons why Grace or the network should not be held responsible for Duckett’s suicide, which took place just a day after she was grilled on Grace’s show on Sept. 7, 2006.
Such defenses include: that the TV host is protected by the First Amendment, that she acted without malice, that her conduct was privileged, that the Eubanks do not meet “a stringent standard” for an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim and that the plaintiff’s claims are barred by actions the defendants believe Duckett brought upon herself.
Denial of the charges was expected, said plaintiff’s attorney Kara Skorupa. Skorupa said while she is a firm believer in free speech, “you can’t hide behind the First Amendment.” If you harm somebody, you can’t hide behind an amendment that was never meant to shield you from liability,” she said, adding the case is now moving into the discovery phase.
CNN had no comment Friday. Duckett, 21, agreed to be questioned by Grace by telephone regarding the disappearance of her 2-year-old son, Trenton, who she reported missing on Aug. 27, 2006. Her parents say she agreed to do the interview, thinking it would enlist the public’s help in finding her son. Instead, they say Grace pummeled her with veiled accusations that she murdered her son. The next day, Duckett shot herself at her grandparents’ home in The Villages, leaving behind three suicide notes-one for her adoptive parents, one to her grandparents, and one to the public. The network decided to air the interview anyway, just hours after learning of her death. Next Wednesday marks the two-year anniversary of Trenton’s disappearance.
i think nancy could consider the thousands of children that are also missing from there families and give us a break from the three months we have listening about calee, i hate this for any of us to loose a child but come on give thought to all the others!!!!!!! sorry for such pain for all!!!!
I truly feel sorry for all families of missng children; but why have I never seen a african american child so dilligently searched for on Nancy Grace?
Because KeiAndrea D Nwayombet, Nancy has always been a racist. Even the two kids she bought from two different fathers are white. Plus, Nancy drinks BudLights, and not Colt45’s.
just looked it up. grace is a jew. very predictable.
Notice how she only spends a few minutes talking about missing Black people? Yet she spends her entire show on missing White people.
My fellow Americans,
One can never trust nor respect anybody who attempts to hide their heritage and or religion for means of gain and or influence. Yes, silence on the matter is a form of complicity. I as a Black man am proud of my African-American heritage and openly confess my Christianity. Why do Jews involved in American media,entertainment, and politics hide behind a veil of caucasion nationalities (Irish, English, German, Russian, Italian etc..) Nancy Grace seems to be yet another one. Over working the southern drawl despite the fact that she is a very well educated woman. We’ve seen this before with people like Michael Richards (Kraemer on Seinfeld), George Allen of Virginia, another Jew who was eventually revealed. Jews like Nancy Grace are easy to uncover. When hiding amongst whites they will always play more racist. incite and exploit divisions/hatred between all races but the number one way to expose a Jew is by their inability to criticize and or condemn another jew.
Nancy Grace is nothing but a loud mouth pig. The way she gushes about her “perfect” lil babies disgusts me.the way she praises those two little tards, you would think that they were the first set of twins ever born. Your perfect Nancy and everyone else on the face of this earth is below you. I will give your husband props for inventing Viagra,then again, who would be able to get it up without medication if they had to look at your grill. that grimacing look that you always have on your face makes me wonder if your constipated. Your not perfect Nancy and neither are your cyclopes looking kids.I look forward to seeing your children in the police briefs when their older. your daughter will be in their for turning tricks and your son will be the panhandler that was anally assaulted with a chain saw. Until we talk again… good night my friend
Cover up bob r your intolerance is hagging out again.
how can you people stick up for this no talent, self serving lady? she invites her legal experts on, then if she doesnt like their opinion, she insults them or goes to somebody who shares her view on the subject. And enough already about her gift to the world “the twins”. The way she sounds, nobody else on this earth has kids! me,me,me. I,I.I… and that picture she likes to flash with her daughter sucking on her brothers nose, got a news flash for ya Nancy, she aint suckleing, she is practiceing for her future job the day she hits 18.. XXX star. and since your offspring are so much better then anybody’s in the world, maybe she will make you a proud mama and replace HOUSTON at the next “worlds largest gangbang” or at least take part as a fluff girl, and make sure all the men are standing tall. All after she is of age of coarse, cuz your perfect. the people you trash on your show may be guilty,but thats not for you alone to decide. But before a jury has even been seated, Judge Nancy already has them sentanced. and if she is wrong and a young girl “melinda Duckett” kills herself due to the brutal attack by Nancy Grace ? dont worry, CNN will flip the bill for the wrongful death suit lodged against you. Im from Buffalo NY where the real bike path rapist was caught this year after 25 years of attacks. News flash Nancy!!! the jury and everybody else got it wrong and a mentally ill man sat in Attica prison since 1985 for a crime he didnt commit. let me guess, 1 in a millon chance right? Wrong again nancy!! same town , same year. Lynn Dejac just released after 13 years for killing her daughter Crystal Lynn giarad. Mrs.Dejac was found innocent of the charges this year,and released from prison. Didnt get to go to her daughter’s funeral or raise her other kids. Wanna know what she did get? , another slap in the face because the D.A gave immunity for testimony against Mrs.Dejac to the man who actually killed her daughter. Do us all a favor and think before you open your stupid sewer
I saw a funny picture of Nancy disGrace with the following comment placed into the picture. It reads “Every time a child is murdered, Nancy Grace has an orgasm.” Just hilarious, yet probably so accurate. She thrives on victimizing real victims of crimes. Since Nancy was never a victim of any crime in her lifetime, she remains clue-less to the damage she does to real actual victims of crimes.
As much as Nancy Grace drives me crazy most nites on her show, she has been a victim. Her fiance was murdered and that is when she decided to become an attorney to represent children and people affected by violence.
Whether or not she is Jewish should not come into these horrible comments being made about her on this site.
She is rude, like you all say … she doesn’t like all those professionals who don’t give her the answers she wants but she does worry about missing children, black or white, and continues to show their faces, when they disappeared and gives phone numbers for anyone to call if they have information.
I have been trying to get a call through to her show since the beginning of the Caylee, Casey Anthony case, but have never gotten through. I just have one question that no one has ever asked and I’m curious as to why?? If Casey hasn’t worked in over 18 months and spends most of her time lying around her parent’s home doing nothing but watching tv and playing on her computer, why would a nanny come into the picture and where would she get money to pay for her??? When she left her home with Caylee for some “bonding” time, why would she then leave the child with a nanny???
Her fiance was the victim of a murder, but not Nancy Grace. She didn’t die in that case, the victim died. Fact!
Michelle,
I just wanted to say I love that icon.
I think that Nancy Grace should be arrested and placed in a prison. Someplace nice and safe where she will not be able to undermine our legal system the way she has been doing with this Anthony case. Ultraconservatives want to put flag burners in prison, what’s the difference? She didn’t burn the flag, but she does vandalize due process each and every night. She is molesting your right to due process, which she was sanctioned by the Appeals courts years before, and setting a precedent for every child who will grow up in a world where mock trials are held on TV for entertainment. She is vandalizing the jury system by attempting to taint all of society with her hyper-accusatory views, phony evidence and wild accusations. In my opinion, in virtue of the fact that phony bogus evidence has already been presented to every possible juror, you have a mistrial by definition even before the trial has begun. And, Casey Anthony should be released immediately because this is not a case that simply cannot be tried fairly under our system of Law. Guilty or not, Casey should go free, in part largely due to the un-professionalism of Nancy Grace. Good going
Arrested? Or imprisoned?
Tina stopped by here and did some blogging on my pc. She signed under her own name, used her password and then blogged. On several sites, there was an outrage because both my sign-in name and her sign-in name came from the same IP-address. Obviously. But, uninformed people had a fit about that because they do not understand how basic computers operate, so they blasted Tina. She was concerned about it and I told her you just have to consider the source. She’s a former grad student of mine and she does an outstanding job at the Law firm too. Uneducated people can just be monotonous at times. The Caylee case is another great example of that too.
MFM:
isnt there enough forensic evidence so that a jury could make a reasoned decision?
I think its pretty evident from what we have seen on TV that she made a terrible mistake and then tried to cover it up. Couldnt the exposure also lead to a lighter sentence?
Change of trial location?
Not in my opinion Bron98, there doesn’t appear to be any forensic evidence that I am aware of that will conclusively obtain a conviction of murder-one. Unless, of course, there is forensic eveidence in the form of those hundreds of text messahes Casy did where she implicated her pland to harm Caylee. Without that, I whole-heartedly believe she will walk on the murder-one charge.
Unfortunately that is how it sometimes works. There is a case going on in KC right now involving a missing woman, being investigated as a “death” right now, and anyone watching the facts has no doubt the husband did something to her. But absent evidence, the cops won’t even go so far as to call it a homicide investigation. The job of the courts is trier of fact. That comes with limitations. Those limitations, however, are critical to prevent vendetta entering in the guise of judgment. Because despite the facts that the husband in the KC case had just been served with divorce papers, entered into a haz-mat cleaning storehouse in the middle of the night – the night his soon to be ex-wife vanished, and has generally acted like a suspicious character it’s supposition he killed his wife absent the corpse or other sufficient tangential evidence. I know he did it. The cops know he did it. The family knows he did it. None of that obviates the need for proof being required even when the reasonable supposition is guilt. Sometimes the DA has to settle for the charge they can make with the evidence that have even if the actual crime implied is a greater offense. Nothing is perfect, but I’ll take evidence over “a feeling” any day. Because feelings are easier to fool than procedure and science.
None of this changes the fact that Nancy Grace is a revolting human being who thrives on the suffering of others. A true parasite in every sense of the word.
“None of this changes the fact that Nancy Grace is a revolting human being who thrives on the suffering of others. A true parasite in every sense of the word.”
In other words, as David E. Kelley would say, a crime slut.
You are correct Bob, Esq. It is clear to those that have really scrutinize her misconduct that Nancy clearly suffers from a psychological disorder. Might be one of the reasons CNN puts her into therapy so often. Not for her alcoholism or drug usage she says she does, but for her mental instability.

MFM:
I did not know that, but isnt that as you legal eagles say hearsay? I am obviously not a lawyer but would that even matter? I have 2 children and from time to time I would like to “kill” them but never do and never would.
The whole thing is pretty bad and I agree with Bobesq that she is a crime slut and I have watched her once and never again, personaly I cant even understand why people like her.
It is heresay only if you do not belive what Nancy has said herself when she was interviewed. For me, I tend to believe it is fact, and a rationalization as to why Nancy violates the law so often on her show. As far as a comment of saying something to the affect of killing the kid(s), there in lies the problem with the Casey Anthony case. If the authorities have confirmed proof that Casey said or typed that in a text message, that will be the only way for the prosecution to get a murder-one verdict on that case.
roflmao
crime slut.
Yes, Buddha Is Laughing, Nancy Grace is a crime slut. Actually, she is both.
Well, Nancy Grace was proven to be wrong again today on the Phil Spector case too. Spector was convicted of second degree murder, unlike the frivolous and wrongful claims by Predator Grace.
According to many experts, the change in the death penalty is not because the evidence has changed, but is a means of attempting to get a plea from Casey. The experts are still not wavering in their conclusion that a conviction of first degree murder against Casey Anthony is still highly unlikely. After reviewing the evidence in this case released to the public, I agree, based upon the evidence, extremely unlikely.

You know you’re probably correct that Nancy suffers from some mental affliction. We once put the mentally ill in treatment, now they get shows on places like Fox and CNN. Anyone care to challenge me on this in the case of Glenn Beck?
MfM,
Crime Slut, is that a pro se or malum prohibitim case category? Or are they 2 distinct crimes of which you complain?
I have to turn her off. I can’t believe that she is allowed to occupy the air space on TV. It is hard to believe that she is actually an attorney. Some of the things that she has said would cause a disbarrment proceeding in the state in which I am in.
Mespo:
Glen Beck is not someone I listen to but why do you think he is mentally ill? Aside from the addictions.
Bron98:
Just a sample:
SlipperlyOne:
“Some of the things that she has said would cause a disbarrment proceeding in the state in which I am in.”
************
In her’s too:
“In 1997, the [Supreme Court of Georgia] was more severe. Although its unanimous decision overturning the murder-arson conviction of businessman W. W. Carr in the death of his wife was caused primarily by other issues, the court made note of Grace’s court actions, citing “inappropriate and illegal conduct in the course of the trial.”
* Her opening statement in the case promised the jury evidence of physical abuse that she had to know would never be admissible because that entire aspect of the case had already been excluded by the judge.
* Subpoenas that contained hearing dates Grace knew to be false.
* Failure to disclose a full witness list to the defense in a timely fashion.
* Showing a chart during closing arguments that falsely stated a defense expert had not contradicted the state’s case on a key issue.
* Also, during closing argument, “vouching” for the case by telling the jury she herself believed Carr to be guilty.
* And finally, performing two illegal searches of Carr’s house, including one during which she was accompanied by a CNN camera crew.
While the court said its reversal was not due to these transgressions, since the case had turned primarily on circumstantial evidence, it nevertheless concluded “the conduct of the prosecuting attorney in this case demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness, and was inexcusable.”[8] Carr was freed in 2004 when The Georgia Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Fulton County had waited too long to retry him.”

Michellefrommadison get’s it. Put crazies on the air and other crazies will watch. It’s all very Paddy Chayefsky-ish.
Nancy Grace is only the most extreme example of a very disturbing phenomenon, lawyers publicly commenting on their pending cases. There are only two reasons for a lawyer to discuss a pending case in the media: a. self-promotion; and b. jury tampering. Neither motive is honorable. The only appropriate forum for a civil action or a criminal prosecution is a courtroom.
hey with as much weed as I have smoked can I get a job on the air too. I am fairly familiar with the air.
Mike Appleton:
That’s exactly my complaint with so-called “media lawyers.” Not much lawyering going on but lots of media posturing. It’s a disservice to us all, just like cameras in the courtroom. Our business is too important to be turned into a media spectacle.
Exactly mespo727272, great point!
Stop victimizing victims Nancy Grace, and stop helping to lose the life of non-convicted victims again. You belong in prison for the crimes you have done, and get those twin kids away from your drunkenness and your pill-popping. Maybe you should tell the viewers on every show that you are under state and federal lawsuits again for your role in assisting to end the life of a mother of a missing child, and while you’re at it, mention that those twins do not have the same father and neither twin is biologically related to your husband. Try being truthful for a change.
MfM,
Where do you get the “stuff from” I would like to read it myself. I have disliked this woman and call her that very meekly. She has done more damage than good I am sure.
Much of it through the use of the Freedom-of-Information-Act and some secured-sites. The use of the internet on non-secured sites also has a lot of material, but I spend more time on the secured-sites since they are all verifiable.
Anon,
Most States have Public Record Acts/laws that allow you to access most information, except for attorney/client, private information, and other privileged correspondences. Those are like State FOIA requests, although I have found that they are much easier and less time restraining to access than FOIAs. You sometimes cannot get something from the State because of Federal jurisdictional rules and vice versa; however, if assimilated crime statues or other shared policies are in place then you will have less shell games of the State saying that something is Federal govt. info and they are the keepers of that, and then conversely.
cough cough cough crime slut cough cough cough
That still just cracks me up.
Who knows, maybe someday Nancy might do a show where she is accurate on the facts. Hasn’t happened yet, but odds are it may eventually happen, right?
While we are on the FOIA subject, many people are unaware of the actual huge debt—to date—that we are facing and this information is coming out because of FOIA requests, an often time-consuming process, involving constant stonewalling by most of the public servants. If you have money, like Mr. Bloomberg, then you can additionally sue the government if they are not so forthcoming.

“Government loans, spending or guarantees to rescue the U.S. financial system total more than $12.8 trillion since the international credit crisis began in August 2007, according to data compiled by Bloomberg as of March 31. The total includes about $2 trillion on the Fed’s balance sheet.
The Freedom of Information Act obliges federal agencies to make government documents available to the press and public. The Bloomberg lawsuit, filed in New York, doesn’t seek money damages.” End Quote}

Whatever happened to the search for Hayleigh Cummings? All we ever hear about is Casey and Caylee Anthony. Let is know about Hayleigh.
wow my post regarding the local coverage of the “shoot straight” suicides, the misguided swine flu report on WFTV, and the on going Casey Anthony case… is titled “Res ipsa loquitur”
the fact that the local station aired the first suicide footage, just shy of showing bullet impacts, and then to say with a hint of disappointment that FDLE, hasn’t released the latest suicide footage, and that they will update their website asap, if it is released.
Orlando’s murder rate, 1 person every 72 hours is found dead. I think if I spent the day at WDW, didn’t wash my hands between hand shakes, I am more likely to be murdered than contracting the swine flu. the News reported 9k people left Florida, the Crime blotter says 123 left via a coroners van.
I CONSIDER THE PRIVLEDGE TO SUPORRT NANCY IN ANY EVENT A COMPLETE
HONOR!
my name is Paula Barrychuck..I live in Texas and watch NANCY FAITHFULLY!
A complete honor to support a self-admitted child abuser, and a drunk, and a pill-popper? How is that an honor, there Paula Barrychuck?
Paula Barrychuck,
And I support your right to Support Nancy Grace. I would want her representing me if I were in your shoes.
Why I would not support her is she is ill mannered, crass, rude, arrogant, an alcoholic, a drug addicted attorney who has sent people to prison wrongfully and got fired for a stir she intentionally created in court.
Now that she is on your side, what are you going to do when she turns on you with only 15 per cent of the facts?
Just food for fodder.
Hello Michellefrommadison.
Hello too Anonymously Yours. But, why would you want to be represented by someone who has lawsuits pending against her in both state and federal courts and has abused her own child(ren)??? (you do realize that Nancy cannot represent anyone, since she is contractually barred from ever practicing Law anymore anywhere within any of the 50 states of the United States).

perfect logic!
Mespo72cubed,
Thats crass. Crass, but good.
Nancy Grace offers to ‘knock the crap’ out of Casey Anthony, according to Nancy herself. Now, that would be fun to see Nancy get pummeled by a real victim of a crime. Nancy is so jealous of Casey because Nancy was never a victim of any crime herself, and she’s extremely jealous of Casey. Wouldn’t it be fun to watch Nancy’s fat jiggle all over as Casey pounds Nancy’s flared-nostrils flat?
You certainly do have some valid points Moody Monica about JohninFlorida. He’s threatened me too, and some people I have never even heard of, so I filed a police report against that Predator. L.E. said they want me at his sentencing hearing. Hang in there Monica, I love your blogs, parody or not.
