Lou Dobbs is still on the air?
Nancy is usually the only thing I watch on Headline News.
O.K. Maybe that is it. I heard her say that she was a victim of crime, I assumed it was a rape. That's what I get for assuming.
No rape; fiance murdered; she's taking her rage out on defendants. :-)
Nancy Grace annoys me.
I have no problem with that, if they are perpetrators of violent crimes.
Thanks Howlin.
Do you know if she was present at the time of the crime? Not that losing a loved one isn't bad enough, but she seems particularly scarred by it.
She can smell them out.
Love her as she says what most of us think......or post :)
I bought her book OBJECTION! - a good read. I like her outrage at the OJ verdict and jury and I agree with her take on other cases.
Nancy Grace's fiance, Keith, was murdered many years ago (1982) 2 weeks before their wedding. He was murdered by a 24 year-old for a wallet with $30.00 and a photo. A naive Nancy did not want the death penalty at the time. She has since changed her mind. The murderer will be eligible for parole in the not too distant future.
Here's an interesting article:

Precisely. He really gets on my LAST nerve.
Well, I have seen the other side of Nasty Grace..LOL.
She's like a Greta Van Susteren, she's on Court TV.
I'm not much of a Court TV watcher, but I have run across her show a couple of times, and I see the attraction.
She is good at what she does.
I like Greta betta. :) She's much less emotional and over-the-top. I can see how some people could prefer Nancy Grace's style though.
Me too. But I watch her sometimes.
I just found out Lisa Bloom of Court TV is Gloria Allred's daughter.
>>She's a great interviewer and stays on top of stories. I'd hardly call her a "lib." Seems pretty conservative to me. She's a former prosecutor and native Southerner and she's sharp and quick.
"A lover of Shakespearean literature, Grace's plan to become an English professor was derailed by the random murder of her fiancé. The incident propelled her to enroll in law school and set her on the path to become a felony prosecutor and an outspoken victims' rights advocate. Grace helped staff the hotline at an Atlanta Battered Women's Center for 10 years."
A _victims' rights advocate_ is no liberal.
Really? IT=t's hard to imagine Gloria Allred being...well..motherly!
Thank you. I will read up on it.
