"Two weeks after telling police that her son had been snatched from his crib, Melinda Duckett found herself reeling in an interview with TV'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?"
A day after the taping, Duckett, 21, shot herself to death, deepening the mystery of what happened to the boy."
If I judged Nancy by her own standards, this interview would have pointed the finger directly at her for being a catalyst with regard to the woman killing herself.

I don't recall a single case in which she argued for the position that a suspect or defendant was not -- or even might not be -- innocent. She's more a zealot than a lawyer, and as a prosecutor had a reputation for stretching the rules to their limit to get a conviction. She doesn't have a lot of fans in the Atlanta legal community, even among prosecutors.
I strongly disagreed with the way NG reported the Duke case. I am not eager to defend her. But I do not like to have people falsely accused and I oppose liberal attitude of shifting responsibility. The choice was MD's and only hers. Her making the porn video with the little boy in it shows she had issues.
