Nancy Grace took time away from her dancing stint on Dancing With The Stars to rally the mob in condemning an acquitted person. Grace called the acquittal of Amanda Knox a “miscarriage of justice” despite the few of many (including myself) that the case was riddled by mistakes, false statements by the police or prosecutors, and open speculation. Nevertheless, in Grace’s preference for “sentence first — verdict afterwards,” the Italian jury was the outrage by looking at the evidence and standard of proof.
I have long condemned CNN’s hiring of Grace who was a disgrace as a prosecutor and an embarrassment for the entire bar.
While many of us have voiced our suspicions or condemnations of Knox and her boyfriend, we recognized the appellate decision as a victory of justice for rendering a detached and dispassionate verdict — the very antithesis of the snarling signature of Grace on CNN.
Grace’s reaction to such acquittals is quite predictable and formulaic. Grace is the Madam DeFarge of American justice. She refuses to undo her knitting even in the face of reasonable doubt or compelling evidence. Her snarling, retributive style is the draw for a very sad and very angry portion of our population.
For years, some of us have been casting doubts on the Knox case. Ironically, the Knox prosecutors were accused of the same shoddy and speculative work that often characterized Grace’s own career, who was repeatedly accused of unprofessional and abusive conduct as a state prosecutor before being hired by CNN. She often barks about a travesty of justice. Yet, justice appears synonymous with retribution in her lexicon. The result is that, in Grace’s world, justice itself is a “miscarriage of justice.”
This is why the recent clothing malfunction of Grace on Dancing With the Stars was little surprise to those who already view her CNN program as little more than a legal Burlesque show.

HenMan,
Sauerkraut?
(Many apologies to OS for the added imagery.)
And as often is the case . . . what mespo said.
Mespo: “…you really don’t know much about Turley — or America…”
Is it possible that the job of being a paid commenter is being outsourced to N. Korea or other repressive country? It would explain the logic of many of the postings visited upon the Turleyblawg. 🙂
(Only half joking. If it’s not already happening I have no doubt it will be soon enough.)
Pat:
“Turley is a tiresome elitisit liberal ivory tower hack who seems to sneer at anything of common decency that doesn’t agree with “legal logic.”
**************
Yeah, that legal logic is worthless and that due process stuff is only for eggheads. I’d rather go with whatever your sense of “decency” suggests to you at the moment and then only after about a moment’s consideration–the wisdom of the past be damned..
Boy, you really don’t know much about Turley — or America — do you?.
Turley is a tiresome elitisit liberal ivory tower hack who seems to sneer at anything of common decency that doesn’t agree with “legal logic.”
But by following his presumed thinking about the acquittal of Knox as being a victory for justice, then so must be the acquittal of Casey Anthony and OJ Simpson as well.
Now we know who NancyFan is taken by – “Hey, it’s Pat!”
I think Nancy Grace has it backwards. Instead of the burden of proof being on the prosecution, it should be
on the defense.
It isn’t?
OS-
HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!!!
(I’m glad I didn’t mention the bottle of beer.)
HenMan, that is her story and she is sticking to it, apparently. As for the pink thing being a snack, OMFG! I think I just threw up in my throat a little.
OS-
You say that pink thing in the linked photo is an alleged pasty? It looks to me like a slice of summer sausage for after-dance snacking. I wonder where she keeps the Swiss cheese, rye bread, and mustard. On second thought, I don’t think I want to know.
AY, Same S**t Different Day, a wageslave mantra. You can figure out the word substitution I’m sure. 🙂
Nancy Grace is pretty much the ultimate example of someone who thinks that “If the police arrested them, they must be guilty”.
Nancy Fan,
I know I’m getting here kind of late but I just wanted to say that nancy Grace is a narrow-minded, vicious, hate filled woman who takes her self-hatred out on whatever target will get her publicity. The fact that many people agree with her is simply a testament to much that is wrong with this country. I like to call Her “Nancy-Bitch of Broadcasting”.
Nancy Grace is a disgrace to this country. The exact opposite of everything we need in this country.
I sincerely hope you come to see her phoney banter and Fascist attitudes for what they are
LK,
For the naive….what does this mean…..SSDD? Nancy G is SBDD.
it sounds like nancy’s projecting. maybe a few skeletons rattling around that closet.
too bad there’s not more turtlenecks in her closet
You know the saying SSDD? Nancy G is SBDD. At least to me. 🙂 That she has a home on CNN tells you everything you need to know about CNN.
@mespo – Spot on! And all I saw were parallels between a self-absorbed NG, and a self-absorbed Miss Piggy. Sounds like I should have spent more time in the classics, rather than “Classics Illustrated” n’est pas? 😉
That’s right, baby, “N’EST PAS?” ; French One, Remedial French One, French Two, Remedial French Two, French Three! Five, count ’em, five years of French, and all I can say is “n’est pas?” and “Il faut que je ronde des livres pour ma mere.” (I must return the books for my mother.)
Signing off for the evening – Let me close by saying this:
NancyFan – If you were accused, even falsely, of a horrendous crime tonight, your Goddess wouldn’t wipe the doggie doots off her shoes onto you, in the morning.
Mespo – Today you were somebody’s hero. Sleep well, amigo!
Well, JT got me thinking about one of my favorite characters, Madame Therese Defarge and I remembered this little description, I’d like to share:
“… imbued from her childhood with a brooding sense of wrong, and an inveterate hatred of a class, opportunity had developed her into a tigress. She was absolutely without pity. If she had ever had the virtue in her, it had quite gone out of her.
It was nothing to her, that an innocent man was to die for the sins of his forefathers; she saw, not him, but them. It was nothing to her, that his wife was to be made a widow and his daughter an orphan; that was insufficient punishment, because they were her natural enemies and her prey, and as such had no right to live. To appeal to her, was made hopeless by her having no sense of pity, even for herself.”
I see some parallels between the French Moirae and our own paragon of Grace.
NF, I am sure Jo will be heartbroken.
Jo,
I am taken.
Lmao now JunctionKkreskin will use the spinning boob to hypnotize you, OS.
raff,
Many a men has gone down over such things as these….I am sure I have at one time in my life or another….
