Nancy Grace On Casey Anthony: ‘Somewhere Along The Way There’ll Be Another Crime’



For once I agree with Ms. Grace, to think OJ Simpson committed another crime:
The image of a liberated Casey Anthony leaving the prison that has for years housed her must have been extremely jarring for those that followed the case closely and had no doubt of her guilt. Needless to say, it was difficult to watch for Nancy Grace. Grace appeared on Good Morning America today to react to the midnight release, and aside from questions as to who is funding Anthony’s getaway, she noted weighing heavily on her was a “disappointment in our justice system.”


Grace told host Dan Harris that she was “still stunned” by the fact that Anthony had been released, and felt a “disbelief and a disappointment in our justice system” that she expected to share with those who thought similarly to her. That’s not to say that Grace had lost the faith in America– “while we all love it,” she clarified, “it hurts and it’s disappointing to see a miscarriage of justice.” Of critics who argue that Grace’s continued coverage of the case is occurring way beyond its welcome time, Grace ceded they were entirely correct. “It was due process; she was acquitted,” she said, adding that “the public will now be the judge if Casey makes money off of Caylee’s murder.”


Harris then asked whether she was concerned that she had incited violence against Anthony by “some people in your camp,” which brought out Grace’s indignation. “First of all,” she air-quoted, “I don’t have a ‘camp,’” but that it was her and “thousands of people that agree” who are “in the camp of justice.” That said, she said she believed “anyone who believes in justice does not believe in vigilantism,” and she expected “no private action against Tot Mom.” She then mused a bit as to where she had gone and who was paying for it, noting that Anthony’s private flight cost “a pretty penny.”


Grace concluded her segment confirming that she believes Anthony will get in trouble with the law yet again. “You are what you are,” she noted, arguing that counseling is often futile and Anthony had participated in so much immoral behavior that “I believe somewhere along the way there will be another crime.”

A Defensive Nancy Grace Tells Bill O’Reilly Why She Thinks Everyone Hates Her



Mediaite.com:
As much as it has done to elevate her national profile, the Casey Anthony trial has made a one-dimensional villain of Nancy Grace to many in the media, and while she has kept relatively quiet through the relentless scorn, Grace visited Bill O’Reilly tonight to respond to much of the criticism. Extremely defensive and borderline rude to a relatively sympathetic host, Grace explained (with dramatic scare quotes) whether she went “overboard,” how she came up with “tot mom,” and why she thinks people attack her so much.


While O’Reilly opened up with an apparent softball– “do you think you went overboard at all?”– Grace came out swinging, calling the term “overboard” “trite” given the “miscarriage of justice” the trial represented. O’Reilly highlighted her “flamboyant” presentation in response, noting that many people, including him, believed Anthony was guilty, too, but didn’t bother to make up names like “tot mom” or be so “certain” in their coverage. Speaking of tot mom, “What does Tot Mom mean, anyway?”


“It was easier for me to remember the name by the content of the case rather than the name,” Grace explained, taking offense to O’Reilly calling the nickname “denigrating,” but O’Reilly led her away from that particular batch of outrage fodder. Instead, O’Reilly led her to insults from others in the legal field, particularly the head of Court TV calling her a “monster.” “They all seem to object to your tone of certainty, and I can identify with that because I do the exact same thing that you did,” O’Reilly told her, apparently trying to keep her eye on the ball rather than taking swipes at him. It worked– she replied that “I don’t really see a need to sugarcoat the truth” and that “the whole defense theory is nonsensical.” She then went on to accuse “some of these pundits” of “wanting Tot Mom’s interview, they want the big ‘get’” and are trying to ingratiate themselves by attacking Grace. She did concede that, if she cared, the attacks would be “hurtful, but the reality is it doesn’t change the truth.” She then went on to list some people whose opinion she didn’t care about– “some newspaper writer in Peoria… some Park Avenue lawyer on national TV” (hmm, who could that be?)– though, of course, by giving shout-outs, she exposes a chink in her armor.


It was clear from the get-go that Grace went into the interview expecting to burn a bridge, which may be exactly why she has collected such a veritable number of detractors. O’Reilly was clearly not out to get her, but rather to analyze her and why she had become such a lightning rod. This at times seemed to throw her off and revealed a certain vulnerability, a self-imposed faith in being above reproach covered in the desperate aroma of needing a vacation, that may finally explain, ironically, how she has also collected so many fans.
Wow, she's nuts.

Nancy Grace Acknowledges Sticky Fingers Lindsay Lohan Gets Special Treatment Because She Is White



Hey, she said it, not me. But when it comes to Lindsay Lohan (and Charlie Sheen for that matter), considering all teh crimes and misdemeanors they've committed one can't help but think that being a rich, white and privileged celebrity keep's them out of doing serious time.
