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.

What happened to the two children from Florida that disapeared ?One lived with her father and he married her baby sitter which was the nanny.
the other one was not to far away, alittle girl.Nancy went after them hot and heavy and then they disappered.
I do not understand how the guests(lawyers etc) keep going back to her after the way she talks to them and how rude she is, cutting them off and making them look like they are stupid.
