Nancy Grace

[Lookn4help]

Anyone read where this "savior of the legal system" went after a women who's child had been allegedly kidnapped two weeks ago and now said women committed Suicide.
I hope she feels real good...espiecally after her reps made a statement that they felt they needed to look into the case.

Everyone's guilty until proven innocent in her eyes. What a farce she is........

She's usually right...

She's usually right...

First off, the interview didn't air until after the girl had committed suicide. If you've followed the case, it's perfectly clear that the mother was mentally unstable (and had been to mental health centers before). Secondly, if you listened to the interview she asked completely legitimate questions. The girl simply COULD NOT answer regarding her whereabouts in the 26 hours prior to the "disappearance". It was obvious to basically anyone that she was covering up something. If you say you went shopping and then cannot name one store you went to the little bullsh*t meter starts dinging. Not too hard to see that the MOST likely explanation is she killed the kid and offed herself, knowing she was busted.

Yes, Nancy Grace is a bit overzealous and excitable at times. However, as an attorney, I like to see her asking the questions that others are afraid to ask. In this particular case she busted the girl redhanded - and the girl knew it.

i heard the interview also today...& imo the it was nothing out of the ordinary. i also heard the ex-husband on tv & he said that he was asked the same questions & does not blame grace for his ex-wife's death.

First of all of course it didn't air until after she killed herself....she left the interview went to her grandparents house and shot her damn self and wasn't immediately discovered. Let me ask you Kelly have you ever been interviewed on CNN? I have it is quite unnerving.......now have you ever been badgered on CNN? Had a woman who claims to be a reporter banging her fist on a table in front of you screaming at you to name your location at the time YOUR FRIGGING KID IS MISSING????
Completely legitimate questions???????? Maybe if she were a prosecuting attorney and in court not on a friggin news show. Nancy Grace couldnt give a rats ass about that kid......she cares about ratings and sensationalism.
Furthermore, as an attorney you should be appalled at the violation of that womans right to a fair trial if accused, you sit here judging an innocent woman and call yourself an attorney.........I would be willing to say that you must work for the prosecution somewhere going after all those menaces to society like drunk drivers and jaywalkers and let fricking gang members and thieves off with time served as long as they are indigent.
You should be ashamed of yourself, proclaiming guilt on a citizen that doesn't even stand accused, the woman is dead for chrissakes and the best you can come up with is a fuhking Bull sh it meter...........good fuhking grief

totally agree.

 

[fatdaddycool]

totally agree.

Drives me nuts when people that work in what is supposed to be a somewhat neutral, if you will, profession and then use that mantra to proclaim someones guilt or innocence like that is supposed to make a difference in their proclamation. I'm a Lawyer and she was guilty, I'm a cop..he was probably drunk..........I'm a doctor.........this is probably what was wrong, I am a friggin aircraft mechanic but I don't proclaim to know what happened to the fuhking bolt that is missing in space for chrissakes, or where Earhardt is or any of that crap.

I do know, however, that a woman that has a missing two year old is not in the best mental state, regardless of what you think her level of participation is in the disappearance. Grace took advantage of the situation for nothing more then lackluster sensationalism and that contributed to the death of that woman. Didn't say it caused it, said contributed before we get more know-it-all lawyers trying to convict me while standing on the soap box proclaiming their expertise in the matter.
This is a travesty and a disgrace all rolled into one, and most likely two, dead bodies. What a tragedy.

First of all you don't know a thing about me. Based on your comments, you probably don't understand that practicing law is not limited to the criminal sphere. Secondly, your response sounds personal and overly emotional. Why are you blaming Grace for her death? She CHOSE to go on the show, and she knew what questions she would be asked. Grace asked completely acceptable questions that the viewers would want answered. Hey, you don't have to think and fumble for an answer when asked a SIMPLE factual question. Futhermore, the woman was very well-spoken and composed - until she was asked that particular question.

The rest of your post is childish, silly and unworthy of a response. If you don't like Nancy Grace, don't watch her. I have pity for the father and the child, not the person that most likely killed her and didn't have the balls to stand and face the consequences of her actions.

 

[JJ Reddick]

a serious issue deserves serious questioning.

After the fact it can be viewed on as wrong (selective/aggresive interviewing), but the simple fact is if she didn't do it (the crimes) she would have told some details.

what is the reason for the suicide? gee let me think. :nono:

 

[fatdaddycool]

First of all you don't know a thing about me. Based on your comments, you probably don't understand that practicing law is not limited to the criminal sphere. Of course I understand the legal practice, I watch BOston Legal all the time

Secondly, your response sounds personal and overly emotional. I tend to get that way when someone blithely accepts the death of another human being as being socially and morally acceptable because of there own assumed judgement when you truly know little more about the case then what you saw on TV. My bad, I will attempt to accept untimely death with a bit more of an obtuse nature.

Why are you blaming Grace for her death?I did? Okay, and you go on thinking that Nancy Grace played no part in it. You should watch more law shows like me and you would know more about this stuff.

She CHOSE to go on the show, and she knew what questions she would be asked. Grace asked completely acceptable questions that the viewers would want answered. Hey, you don't have to think and fumble for an answer when asked a SIMPLE factual question. Futhermore, the woman was very well-spoken and composed - until she was asked that particular question.I chose to eat Fruit Loops this morning, but not have them crammed down my throat, theres a difference. Also, I am unsure of what the woman was thinking of when asked the question therefore I cannot intelligently speak on her state of mind when asked the question. However, if you are asking me to speculate on whether or not her actions were suspicious, they could be construed that way yes, however she was not on trial at the time. I can see where you may find it suspicious so your right...............lets go kill her..........oops too late .........shes dead now and boy did she deserve it......she didn't answer the question the way that society accepts as normal.


The rest of your post is childish, silly and unworthy of a response. If you don't like Nancy Grace, don't watch her. I have pity for the father and the child, not the person that most likely killed her and didn't have the balls to stand and face the consequences of her actions.

Okay, so I am being silly and childish and you find it necessary to strengthen that remarkably insightful observation by telling me if I don't like it don't watch it? OOOOkay. I don't believe your pity will be asked for by anyone so no worries there. I will say, however, and I don't mean this to be childish or anything but I don't want you to embarass yourself someday in the future......women don't have balls...........so if that was a prerequisite of your pity......thats simply not fair......

See, now that last statement is childish but, hell, the water was warm

 

[kellyindallas]

Oh, boo-f'ng-hoo. Keep wasting your breath/tears on someone who most likely had a hand in her child's demise. I'll save mine for someone who deserves it.

Guess what, pal? People are responsible for their own choices. People whose children are legitimately missing don't kill themselves over an interview. People who kill their child and are called out for it, maybe they do.

Nancy Grace Says 'Guilt' Likely Made Mother Commit Suicide Talk Show Host Unapologetic About Hard-Line Interview With Missing Boy's Mother

Sept. 15, 2006 ? Former prosecutor turned talk show host Nancy Grace is unapologetic about her aggressive approach to a mother who committed suicide after an interview about the woman's missing son.

Twenty-one year-old Melinda Duckett was the mother of 2-year-old Trenton Duckett, who has been missing since Aug. 27.

Grace interviewed Duckett over the phone on Sept. 7 as part of a taped segment for Grace's show. Before the interview was over, the talk show host was pounding her desk and demanding, "Where were you? Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?"

One day later, Duckett shot and killed herself just hours before the taped interview aired on CNN Headline News.

In an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" today, Grace said that she takes no responsibility for Duckett's suicide.

"If anything, I would suggest that guilt made her commit suicide," Grace told ABC News' Chris Cuomo.

"To suggest that a 15 or 20 minute interview can cause someone to commit suicide is focusing on the wrong thing," she said.


Interview or Inquisition?

Melinda Duckett reported her son missing from their Leesburg, Fla., home on Aug. 27. She said he disappeared from his crib while she watched a movie on television with friends.

Investigators have stopped short of calling Duckett a suspect but have focused increasing attention on her movements just before the boy vanished. Police have seized notes, a computer, camera and other items from her home.


Duckett's family members disputed any suggestion that she hurt her son. They said that the strain of her son's disappearance pushed her to the brink, and the media sent her over the edge.

"Nancy Grace and the others, they just bashed her to the end," Duckett's grandfather Bill Eubank told the Associate Press Tuesday.

Some media analysts agree, saying Grace's interview went too far.

"How is that questioning doing anything but making a person in a desperate situation feeling even more desperate?" said Hub Brown, a professor at Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Communications.

Grace, however, insists her line of questioning was reasonable.

 

[Dell Dude]

Nancy Grace is a bitch. That's the only thing I know for sure. I would never go on her show. I would watch her show. I would never listen to her on the radio. I would never read anything she wrote.

 

[SixFive]

I can't stand Nancy Grace. I actually posted her in the thread around here of most annoying people. Over sensationalize, cares only about the ratings and not the victims?? TOtally agree on those points.

 

[fatdaddycool]

KellyinDallas,
Thats three that agree with me and none with you......ha ha ha ha hah I win...............hows that for childish?

Whats more you may be a lawyer in some field other than criminal law but I can't see how you would be much good at that either..................not if you are going to hit the jury with the ole.............yeah........well............shes guilty and you guys know it...............I mean..........c'mon.............shes guity.........she killed herself....................c'mon................prosecution rests.

One more thing............the kid is missing illegitmately?????? Meaning the kidnapper/killer doesn't have a father or that the kid isn't really missing??????

kelly,
respect your thoughts, but how could anyone of us know what a parent would do in that situation. maybe she was already a complete mess emotionally and she just couldnt go on. she could be a lost soul who got blasted by nancy grace and realized that now a nation would judge her based on one interview. it seems like you already have her in the electric chair.
bless her and her baby.

 

[kellyindallas]

The only thing that you win at is being an absolute fool. If you're proud of that, so be it.

I will guarantee you a mother who is NOT involved in her kid's demise would NOT kill herself. My point simply was, and is, Nancy Grace did nothing wrong when she interviewed her. My second point was that if I were a wagering person, which I am, I would wager that her responses strongly indicated that she was involved in her son's disappearance or death. Use some logic and follow the situation to the its natural conclusion. It really isn't that difficult. This isn't CSI and you don't need a damn video of a crime to prove that it happened. Finally, I have no problem with someone killing themselves when they've most likely murdered their own kid. Works for me.

Dude, I totally just forwarded this thread to my Mom, she welled up with tears when she read it she was so proud of me and me of myself.

Here's to hoping that she frames it and hangs it between my degrees.

You have managed to completely miss the entire point so I chose to have some fun at your expense......Kind of like Nancy Grace did..............because let me assure you...........she had quite the rush after that interview and probably after she heard the news of her demise. She is a Nancy Dis Grace if you ask me.
