Early on I liked Grace. I had sympathy for her once I found out what happened to her fiancee. But since that time I hope that her on-air persona is not the way she is 24/7.
CNN proudly describes Grace as "one of television's most respected legal analysts" and is happy to provide interested parties with a detailed account of her legal education and career, right down to her stint as a business law instructor in Georgia State University's school of business.
There is, however, one inconveniently disturbing detail on which CNN maintains a studied silence: On three occasions involving three separate cases, appellate courts have cited Grace for unethical behavior while she was a Fulton County prosecutor.
The most recent of those admonitions came last week, when a published opinion from the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals concurred with lower court findings that Grace had "played fast and loose" with her ethical duties as a prosecutor in a 1990 triple-murder case. The lower courts had admonished Grace for failing to disclose the existence of other suspects in the case and for knowingly allowing a police detective to testify falsely regarding the matter. The appeals court, however, also concurred that Grace's misconduct did not affect the outcome of the case.
Wow. That's one interesting read on NG. For all her victim's rights trumpeting (which I applaud), I've never once seen her even entertain the notion that an accused person just might be innocent.
My husnband shares your opinion of her almost word for word! "IMHO Grace has brought nothing but her bellowing, sarcasm, phony hairball coughing, and her tiresome smugness."
He can't stand her.
I like Nancy Grace a lot more on CourtTV. The format suits her better. The evidence is already in and she questions it and analyses it, we know who the defendant is, etc. But on this new show the format is crimes that haven't been solved yet, not brought to court yet, don't know who the perps are...she's not doing so well imo and i really do like her because of the way she stands up for the victim.
