Nancy Grace

[Kodiak]

What do you all think, did Nancy Grace cross the line. Personally, I don't care for Nancy Grace and thinks she crosses the line quit frequently.

I’ve been looking around and found the transcript on the CNN site.

Here’s part of it with a line I found interesting in bold. Some folks can’t take no for an answer. What part of “Because I was told not to” does Nancy Grace not understand?

GRACE: Melinda, where had you been with him that day?

MELINDA DUCKETT: All we had basically been out is driving around. There is something about a convenience store. I don`t know where that came into play because whenever I go out somewhere, you know, I always have gas. I`m not shorthanded with anything. And I`m always prepared for it all.

GRACE: So where had you been that day?

MELINDA DUCKETT: We had been all through Lake county and up into Orange.

GRACE: Doing what?

MELINDA DUCKETT: Basically just shopping, going around driving.

GRACE: Shopping where?

MELINDA DUCKETT: Well we didn`t go anywhere specific.

GRACE: Well I mean if you went shopping you had to go into a store. What store did you go into on Sunday?

MELINDA DUCKETT: We went throughout the county.

GRACE: Any store? I`m thinking of video cameras Melinda. I mean maybe they have a picture of someone watching you, following you back out to your car. I mean what store did you go to, Wal-Mart, JCPenney`s, what?

MELINDA DUCKETT: I`m not going to get in any specifics.

GRACE: Why?

MELINDA DUCKETT: Because I`m not dealing with media very well.

GRACE: Well can you remember where you were that day?

MELINDA DUCKETT: I can remember perfectly well where I went that day. Just like I have spoken to the FBI with it. But as far as anything else goes we haven`t had very good dealings with any of them.

GRACE: Well don`t you think it would be a great idea, for instance if you were at a local JCPenney`s or Sears Roebuck to tell the viewers right now this is where we were. Did you see anything? Did you notice anything? Here`s your child`s picture? Here`s my picture. Help me. Where were you? Why aren`t you telling us where you were that day, you were the last person to be seen with him?

MELINDA DUCKETT: And we have already gone out and distributed the fliers and spoken to --

GRACE: Right, why aren`t you telling us and giving us a clear picture of where you were before your son was kidnapped?

MELINDA DUCKETT: Because I`m not going to put those kind of details out?

GRACE: Why?

MELINDA DUCKETT: Because I was told not to.

GRACE: Ms. Duckett, you are not telling us for a reason. What is the reason? You refuse to give even the simplest facts of where you were with your son before he went missing. It is day 12.

MELINDA DUCKETT: (INAUDIBLE) with all media. It`s not just there, just all media. Period.

Here’s a local news site with a partial clip that shows the temperament of the interview. It just doesn’t come across in the transcript.

It’s common for the police to withhold information from the media during an active investigation. Nancy Grace should know this and attempting to badger the mother into revealing this information just might amount to obstruction of justice. With luck, the local DA will think so and file charges.

This is sad. Nancy Grace is a very untalented, jerry springeresqe "reporter". Hopefully they will pull her show and she will be sent to MSNBC to have her career ended like all else that go to MSNBC.

I just happened to have Nancy Grace on that night. I felt bad for the girl while Nancy was screaming at here. I hope the girls family wins a big law
suit against Nancy. Even if the girl is guilty of killing her son they still
don't have to have the memory of Nancy yelling at the girl to a point
that I think it is why she committed sucide.

If she iced herself because the bad woman yelled at her then she needed to go.

TV host backed by husband of suicide mom

Melinda Duckett holds photo of herself with missing son Trenton on Aug. 29. Florida mom committed suicide last Friday.

Talk show host Nancy Grace has been under fire for a young mother's suicide hours after Grace grilled her like a suspect over the disappearance of the woman's toddler son.

But yesterday, the dead woman's husband came to Grace's defense, saying the tough-talking ex-prosecutor "didn't have anything to do" with the death of Melinda Duckett.

"She just asked her questions, that's all. That's her job," said Joshua Duckett, 21, whose 2-year-old son, Trenton, has been missing from his Leesburg, Fla., home since Aug. 27.

Grace, of TV's CNN Headline News, pounded her desk and hammered Melinda Duckett, 21, with questions during an appearance taped last Thursday.

"Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?" Grace loudly asked her. "Why aren't you telling us and giving us a clear picture of where you were before your son was kidnapped?"

The next day, Melinda Duckett shot herself in the head with her grandfather's shotgun.

Melinda's family has been furious over how she was treated after reporting Trenton was snatched from his crib during the night.

"Nancy Grace and the others, they just bashed her to the end," Melinda's grandfather Bill Eubank said yesterday. "She wasn't one anyone ever would have thought of to do something like this. She and that baby just loved each other, couldn't get away from each other. She wouldn't hurt a bug."

Grace was unapologetic.

"I do not feel that our show is to blame for what happened to Melinda Duckett," Grace has said. "The truth ... is not always nice or polite or easy to go down."

Duckett, who was in the midst of a messy divorce from the boy's father, told cops that after she finished watching a movie, she went to check on Trenton and only found an empty crib - and a 10-inch cut in the window screen above it.

Police initially zeroed on Joshua Duckett, but he was cleared of suspicion.

Although Melinda Duckett was never officially identified as a suspect in her son's disappearance, she was increasingly becoming the focus of police in the days before she took her own life, authorities said.
