"...she gets a few cases wrong.....so what?...."

Like you, I wish her and her family well. Whatever feelings I have for her are the result of her actions.

Gets a few cases wrong, so what, you ask? Like Spiderman says, "With great power comes great responsibility." I'm sure she's done some good, but I'm repulsed by her when she uses her unique position (in her quest for ratings) and causes harm, especially when she does not try to repair the damage she's done nor even admit that she was wrong. Karma's a bitch and I hope she's got her karma insurance paid up.

She never pummeled any young mother. It was the Duke lacrosse players she pummeled.

Diabolical intervention?

it was after rather accusatory questioning by nancy grace, that the young girl, mother of a missing toddler, committed suicide.

I have relatives who had children in their 40s, and they and they children did well physically and socially, all of them college graduates, one a doctor. This should be an individual choice. IIRC, it is not unusual in Ireland and Nordic countries to have children later in life.

Whatever my difference with Nancy Grace, I wish the best for her and the twins, who had to be delivered premature because she developed this lung condition.

I saw the show. NG asked simple questions which would not drive anyone to suicide. That lawsuit was filed by greedy parents hoping to profit on a dead child. BYW, her parents did nothing to help find their grandson.

In 2006, Nancy Grace 'pummelled' Melinda Duckett so hard... accusing her of harming her son (who authorities now think was spirited away by the mom to keep safe)...

..that the young woman committed suicide.

I agree. It’s one of the few times I’ve defended Nancy Grace. Frankly I don’t believe anyone can MAKE you commit suicide. Just shifting blame & accountability & being driven by greed in an attempt to profit. Guilt & mental instability may have played a role in the suicide. But that was not the fault of Nancy Grace.

(and I will never forgive this woman for her repulsive behavior during the Duke rape hoax) But I do wish her a fast & full recovery.

MD did NOT commit suicide because of NG. I saw the show. MD was one nasty woman who did a porn or semi-porn show with her son in the background. There are many things I have complained about NG like how she treated the Duke lacrosse players, but in MD’s case she merely asked simple yes or no question. It was Duckett who started giving answers that remind me of Hillary Clinton’s answers.

Pregnant? How did that happen?

I guess it's about time for a little talk with your parents... But that's not for us other Freepers to do, nor is this something that you should learn from "the street."

Really? I've been watching Nasty Grace for years now. When she perceives someone is "guilty" she goes for the throat and never lets up.

"Two weeks after telling police that her son had been snatched from his crib, Melinda Duckett found herself reeling in an interview with TV's famously prosecutorial Nancy Grace. Before it was over, Grace was pounding her desk and loudly demanding to know: "Where were you? Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?"

A day after the taping, Duckett, 21, shot herself to death, deepening the mystery of what happened to the boy."

If I judged Nancy by her own standards, this interview would have pointed the finger directly at her for being a catalyst with regard to the woman killing herself.

We will disagree then...

..personally I can't watch Nancy Grace...too vitriolic and shrill...

I truly hope she recovers & also hope she has an introspective attitude adjustment for her children's sake..

She married her college sweetheart...

She was engaged to her college sweetheart, who was murdered. Her husband is a long-time friend she's known since college, but I don't think they dated then. They married this past April.

I don't recall a single case in which she argued for the position that a suspect or defendant was not -- or even might not be -- innocent. She's more a zealot than a lawyer, and as a prosecutor had a reputation for stretching the rules to their limit to get a conviction. She doesn't have a lot of fans in the Atlanta legal community, even among prosecutors.

"The Duke boys are guilty as sin!"

Is that a quote? Be honest.

Oops. Make that last word "guilty."

Do we know if this pregnancy was the result of an invitro fertilization thing or not? Cuz that was my assumption the whole time.
