Evil By Any Other Name...Well She's Still Just Evil!
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.
And this hits just keep on coming! Nancy Grace is the lowest form of life. I really do not get why this woman, or others like her (Anne Coulter, Rita Cosby, etc.) are given a platform to spew their uneducated nonsense! Her unrepentant attitude, harsh, abrasive personality and interview style are just horrendous! Why would you willingly subject yourself to watching this woman (or any of the others for that matter) spout tripe? It just boggles the mind! Evil thy name is Nancy Grace!

I actually had CNN Headline news on when her show came on and I wasn't paying attention at first until I heard her YELLING at this young woman and DEMANDING answers to quetions that her attorneys had told her not to ask. The estranged husband was on the set with her and the woman called in. Nancy would barely let her speak before she'd start shrieking at her. I turned the channel because it was so obnoxious! I've been over Nancy Grace for a LONG time. I'm sorry she lost her boyfriend to violence a generation ago but she need not attempt to punish every person in the vicinity of a crime because of it. I believe she did push that woman over the edge - whether she was actually involved in the child's disappearance or not. Grief and despair - not guilt - could have been the cause of the suicide. Nancy is being really arrogant and still blaming the woman for not answering her questions (as though Nancy is the judge, jury and executioner). If Nancy doesn't feel any responsibility, she is an ice cold witch.
