Nancy Grace, does anyone else hate this woman as much as I?

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Nancy Grace, does anyone else hate this woman as much as I?

.... and that was before I learned this!


Prosecutorial misconduct

The Supreme Court of Georgia has twice commented on Grace's conduct as a prosecutor. First, in a 1994 heroin-trafficking case, Bell v. State, the Court declared a mistrial, saying that Grace had "exceeded the wide latitude of closing argument" by drawing comparisons to unrelated murder and rape cases.[9] In 1997 the court was more severe, overturning the murder-arson conviction of businessman Weldon Wayne Carr in the death of his wife. 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".[10][11] Carr was freed in 2004 when the Georgia Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Fulton County had waited too long to retry him, thereby unfairly prejudicing his right to a fair trial.[12]

Despite upholding the conviction she sought, a panel of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in a 2005 opinion that they agreed with the magistrate judge who said Grace "played fast and loose" with her ethical duties, "we cannot say that any false testimony clearly rose to the level of a due process violation" and failed to "fulfill her responsibilities" as a prosecutor in the 1990 triple murder trial of Herbert Connell Stephens.[13] The court agreed that it was "difficult to conclude that Grace did not knowingly use testimony" from a detective that there were no other suspects, despite the existence of outstanding arrest warrants for other men.[13]

There's also the incident where a woman killed herself after Grace attacked her on national TV because her child was missing.
Wing nuts. Not just for breakfast anymore.

Her own personal history isn't exactly as presented on tv, either.

Sure.. in the cesspool that is contemporary media she's an alpha-floater equal in fecal displacement to the likes of Rush "Big Oxy" Limbaugh, Ann "I'm not a man" Coulter, Sarah Palin and Pat Robinson.. .

More? ... of course there are .. the list is frighteningly/depressingly long . . .

I dislike her intensely, severely, and completely.

Good, I feel so much better now. I guess she appeals to the wingnut demographic.

Just checked with myself again.....sure enough, still hate her. She looks pissed off even when she's smiling. I could never imagine waking up next to her, much less voluntarily getting into a bed with her. damn

People are crazy and times are strange. I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range.
I used to care, but, things have changed.

Odd how truly evil people .. the aforementioned Limbaugh, Grace, Coulter then Rove, Cheney, Hannity ... Phelps tend to be conservative. Not saying it's exclusive but certainly leans heavily to the right.....

The things that drive such people- fear, fear and fear- are endemic to the same type of folk who lean right.
