Nancy Grace is a disgrace
Watching CNN's Headline News last night with Nancy Grace was a real turnoff. She obviously has issues with the verdicts returned, as shown by her attack (and that is certainly what I would call it, an attack) on the jury's foreman.
I know that she is a former prosecutor. What's also evident is that she's never served on a jury before. I have, and it was a good experience. In the trial I was sitting on, a boyfriend was accused of assaulting (with a gun specification), kidnapping, and something else that I can't remember. She was held for three days supposedly. I had real troubles believing that she had been held down on a bed for three days without at least bathroom breaks. The only thing we could agree on was that he wailed on her beyond a reasonable doubt. We did not find that he did it with a gun, nor the gun that we were shown as evidence (I wouldn't have fired the gun, it had some obvious cracks showing that would have made me afraid to fire it for fear of having it blow up in my hand).
Jury trials work, if you let them. I'm sorry to see that Nancy thinks that this was a time where they didn't.
