Oh Nancy Grace. Where do I start with her? Sure, she doesn't always have tact. Sure she has been known to throw things while on air. Some people even think that she may even be the devil in a blond wig. Ok that last part I made up but still....the woman does tend to seem as if she has fangs at times. Fangs that are just waiting to sink into criminals. Maybe that is her past life as a prosecutor coming through....or perhaps a genuine compassion for victims of violent crimes. But, I digress.  Grace's attorney's are asking for charges claiming that Grace was responsible for provoking the suicide of Melinda Duckett be dismissed.

Regardless of the actions that Grace has exhibited causing her to be nicknamed "Nasty Graceless" , was she in fact responsible for the suicide of Melinda Duckett? Would she have proceeded to take her own life if she hadn't been interviewed by Nancy Grace?

Again, let me reinerate that I am familiar with the fact that she has at times said things to guests that have made even me stop and say "What the hell is she thinking?" That however, is neither here nor there. That is the job of CNN and Court TV to deem as appropriate or inappropriate. Could they have overseen the questions in which Grace had planned to ask Duckett and reworded them to sound less like an interrogation? I don't know. I feel if Grace is in fact prosecuted than justice is blind. Regardless, she has supervisors and a job to do. Her approach again is something that was the responsibility of CNN to monitor. Who knows? Maybe Grace was co-horsed into being as aggressive as she was to boost CNN's ratings that week.

In closing, I would like to stress that I am in fact not a fan of Grace, but rather a fan of the first amendment. I agree that the situation was unfortunate. However, CNN could have chosen not to air the interview, A different journalist could have been assigned, and as sad as it sounds given the despair that poor young woman missing her child must have been feeling- it may have happened either way.
