Nancy Grace's Actions Criticized by Family of Dead Mother
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14823398/

LEESBURG, Fla. - Two weeks after telling police that her son had been snatched from his crib, Melinda Duckett found herself reeling in an interview with CNN’s famously prosecutorial Nancy Grace. Before it was over, Grace was pounding her desk and loudly demanding to know: “Where were you? Why aren’t you telling us where you were that day?”

1. I'm not a fan of Nancy's
but because I was (and am) interested in the Duckett case, I watched her show the night the Melinda Duckett interview was shown. No way do I feel the woman blew herself away because of anything Nancy said. Melinda Duckett killed herself because she knew law enforcement would soon be closing in on her for the murder of her little boy, Trenton.

Nancy may be hard to take for some people, but she's a staunch Democrat, and I'll be damned if I'll join her mostly Republican adversaries and lay the blame on her for Melinda Duckett's suicide.

2. I don't blame Nancy Grace for the woman's suicide
But I can't believe they ran the piece after the woman was dead. That was just morbid. Of course it is typical for them to rather have high ratings than to be human.
