Yeah, the fucktard ass-bitch Nancy Grace. You know, someday I hope that news organizations realize that there's a limit to "the news" and "the public's right to know".

The press is NOT the judicial system, and has no real right to browbeat people publicly.

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.

Police have refused to say whether she left a suicide note, and said nothing they have found so far in their investigation of her death has shed light on the whereabouts of her 2-year-old son, Trenton.

Investigators have stopped short of calling her a suspect but have focused increasing attention on her movements just before the boy vanished and the notes, computer, camera and other items seized from her house.

Duckett's family members disputed any suggestion that she hurt her son. They said that the strain of her son's disappearance pushed her to the brink, and the media sent her over the edge.

"Nancy Grace and the others, they just bashed her to the end," Duckett's grandfather Bill Eubank said Tuesday. "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."

They don't call it a "media feeding frenzy" because it's beautiful sight.

Sensationlist journalism at its best.

Why do people agree to do interviews under these circumstances?

That's appalling. Surely that violates some law to do with interfering with an investigation?

God, how I hate that bitch.

I know nothing about that case, but I can't tell you how fervently I'm now hoping that the mother really didn't have anything to do with the crime.

Because can you imagine the field day fucking Nancy Grace would have with that?

:mad:

Nancy Grace is actually worse than Bill O'Reily. I'd of never thought it. Vile evil woman. Ought lock the two of them in a room together and throw away the key.

If she was so close to the brink why did her lawyer let her do the interview?

Crazy. Obviously she should not have done the interview.

The news organizations often offer money for interviews. Considering that she was unemployed and very poor, she probably saw it as a good thing. After all, you figure the worst that will happen is that people will ask a few nice questions.

Not browbeat you on camera.

Or sometimes if you refuse to go public about anything, it makes you look suspicious in the eyes of the people.

Maybe because they hope that who ever did it will feel pity when se on TV. Its not very likely but when your kid has disapeared you have tho have something to hope for.

Rarely do the media actually tell their vict... err... Interviewee what is being asked. she was probably told she was going to be asked questions about the kidnapping and perhaps give her a chance to plea with the kidnappers for the return of her child. basically, this is a prime example of "Ambush Journalism." sad... really.

I do know about ambush journo's...and also the use of money to get people on...which is why I wondered what her lawyer was thinking...

Maybe he did advise her not to go on....

either way its tragic.
