Well babe...lots of people lose loved ones...and they don't become all knowing experts on legal issues.!

Agreed. I don't like her, but admittedly I have a pro-criminal bias, LOL. They should hire me to present the other side.

I do not care for Nancy Grace. She's just too "over the top" for my taste. BLAH!

This feeling became even stronger after the Natalie Holloway disappearance.

Personally, I don't think I necessarily "like her" but I watch her because she's so entertaining.

Actually, she's a mess. All over the place. What cracks me up so much is when she asks a question to someone and then kinda answers it herself meanwhile that person is on the screen and then she goes off on another tangent and asks another question.

But my favorite is when she says things like "lady trooper" instead of "officer so and so" or "preacher" instead of "reverend so and so" or "your girl" instead of "your daughter."

The DRAMA she has is so fantastic.

I find her hilarious.

I want to thank you, for inviting me into your home.

Goodnight friend.

So dripping wet dramatic it's so great!

I TOTALLY agree with you, aabby!!! This thread would be better placed in "Entertainment" rather than "News."

I love it when she references her days growing up in Macon, GA and her homespun phrases.

I realize viewers either love her or can't stand her -- she definitely brings about strong opinions.

Bingo!

Frankly, I don't care which side of the political spectrum anyone is on -- I don't like being yelled at. Which, to me, is what a lot of these folks seem to be doing.

I think that I (and most of you other GC contributors) are at least as smart (or smarter) than they are anyway.

They's just louder.

Well, my former classmate has had a good year -- in June she married fellow Mercerian, David Linch and in November they welcomed their twins. The babies were due in January, but came "early." (Of course they did -- she has good Southern home-training!)

She comes back on her show Jan. 6th or 7th, I think I read.

Welcome Back Nancy, you are one of a kind!

I'm out of the loop on my sister! Twins? Legacies? Can you just imagine the trainwreck of being Nancy Grace's daughter during Recruitment?!?!?

I am out of the loop on my own sister. I did not know she is an ADPi...interesting.

MandyPepperidge · #26 12-28-2007, 01:24 AM

She rubs me the wrong way. I'm still incensed that she never apologized for her comments regarding the guiltiness of the Duke lax players.

People magazine reports this on 11/05/07:

Nancy Grace and her husband David Linch welcomed twins Lucy Elizabeth and John David on Sunday – an early delivery for Grace, who had developed a pulmonary edema during the pregnancy.

"Her physician determined it would be best for Nancy, and for the twins, to deliver them [on Sunday]," a rep for Grace said. "Lucy Elizabeth, John David, and their proud parents are now resting comfortably."

John David weighed 5 lbs., 1 oz. at birth, and Lucy Elizabeth weighed 2 lbs., 15 oz. according to the rep. Grace, 48, had been due to give birth in January, PEOPLE reported this summer.

"The babies are doing fine. Our little girl is doing just as well as her brother despite her weight – and mom is doing great," Linch tells PEOPLE.

Pulmonary edema involves swelling and/or fluid accumulation in the lungs. No further details were given about Grace's condition, or that of the twins, on Monday.

Grace and Linch, an investment banker in Atlanta, married in April.

According to Grace's rep, John David is named for his father and John the Revelator. Lucy Elizabeth is named after Grace's mother Elizabeth and grandmother Lucy.

Last month Grace was feted at a baby shower in Manhattan hosted by good pal and former Court TV colleague Diane Dimond. Linch and a host of pals, including Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lisa Bloom, attended and brought gifts such as a pair of his and hers cowboy booties for the twins to match mom's signature pair.

I know there's a thread about her in the ADPi forum, but I didn't want to put this there out of respect to her sisters.

OCALA, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit that claims CNN's Nancy Grace pushed the mother of a missing toddler to suicide through aggressive questioning.

CNN and Grace argued the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Melinda Duckett's family would "severely chill" journalists' coverage of missing-persons cases. But U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges on Thursday denied their motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Duckett, 21, was on Grace's show after her son Trenton went missing from her apartment in August 2006. Grace grilled the woman, accusing her of hiding something because Duckett did not take a lie-detector test and answered vaguely regarding her whereabouts.

Duckett fatally shot herself before the network aired the pre-taped interview.

Thoughts?

Personally, and this may be 'out there', I think the lady killed herself because of guilt. There's no proof that she had a hand in her son's disappearance, but hello? People don't kill themselves because they didn't like what people had to say about them. Guilt? Probably.

I hope Nancy wins this one.

I wonder about this - why would you go on one of these shows, especially one where the host is known for aggressive questioning. There are other ways to get the word out.
