Scott is Guilty

[S Lyster]

Well, since Nancy Grace knows everything . . .

If you don't like Nancy Grace then I suggest you change the channel and watch something else. It appears that you watch her show as you know what is going on.

I for one love Nancy Grace and what she is doing as many other viewers do who call in to tell Nancy that. HLN has a winner with this show so all I can say to Nancy is keep up the good work and we all love you.

Since that is a maxim of the entertainment industry, more often used to justify the broadcast of pornography, it seems fitting that it is used to justify Nancy Grace's style of journalism.

Maybe her style is journalism's equivalent to pornography, esp. if that's the way it is defended. To me it is a tragedy that someone can be convicted because you don't like the guy, and Grace was the slanderer in chief. Talk about getting convicted in the media!!!

I suppose we can also change channels on the Constitution of the United States if we don't like that one either?

Hipcheck, you don't have to watch much of Nancy Grace to pick up pretty quick on her style. And, some of us were introduced to Nancy Grace by Larry King -- I had never heard of her before -- and since she wasn't the only one on the panels, we put up with her. I for one would never waste a second watching any of her shows.

The wrongful death suit brought by the family of Melinda Duckett is not over. CNN and Nancy Grace continue to use delay tactics, but the case is still ongoing. This is a quote from the Duckett family attorneys:

"This case is not about the First Amendment to the Constitution nor does it involve attempting to "recover money from reporters who ask routine questions,'" wrote attorneys Kara Skorupa and Jay Paul Deratany in the 21-page motion.

"This case involves a broadcast corporation and a seasoned journalist who deliberately tricked and deceived a woman they knew to be emotionally distraught, to go onto a show under false pretenses, only to have that person publicly humiliated before the nation. Neither the show nor the producers had a 'right' to lie, trick and deceive a distraught mother," the motion continued. "Grace (an attorney), can be held accountable for intentionally defrauding Melinda and her lawyer by baiting the mother with promises to help find the child, and then switching the purpose of the show. Hiding behind the First Amendment will prove to be an illusory exercise in futility, since no Amendment to our great Constitution protects an individual from civil suit for deceit, fraud and trickery."

CNN could have taken the easier and cheaper way out by settling this case out of court but they have refused to do that and I for one am glad. Melinda's parents are looking for big money. They sure didn't help or care about Melinda when Trenton went missing.

I don't see any way that Melinda's parents win this lawsuit. Nancy Grace will be a winner again and god bless her for every thing she has done for crime victims.

Hipcheck, where do you get the idea that they are asking for big money? This document does not indicate anything like that. http://www.courthousenews.com/onpoint/ngrace.pdf

And please specify exactly what Nancy Grace has done for crime victims. IMO, the only thing Nancy Grace really cares about is Nancy Grace.

What other reason would Melinda's parents have for filing this lawsuit? There is no doubt in my mind that they are looking for lots of money. They should have been at Melinda's side when her son went missing but they were not.

Nancy Grace convicted many people for crimes and this is where she helped many crime victims and i say god bless her for that.

NAncy Grace was admonished for conduct as a prosecutor. www.law.com The appellate court did so several times.

If it was about the money, they certainly would have asked for more than $15,000. This is about holding an irresponsible journalist and the network who supports her to account for their actions. To repeat:

"Grace (an attorney), can be held accountable for intentionally defrauding Melinda and her lawyer by baiting the mother with promises to help find the child, and then switching the purpose of the show.

When you say Nancy Grace convicted many people for crimes--That's probably true. However, many of the ones she has convicted in the eyes of the public are innocent.

Melinda's parents are looking for a lot more than $15,000. I bet they think they could get millions but I believe they are going to get nothing as Nancy did nothing wrong.

I thought Jenny Jones was going to lose millions in the lawsuit against her where someone was murdered because of her show but she lost nothing. So if she lost nothing then I bet Nancy and CNN lose anything either.

[marlene]

Well, if the Rochas are entitled to millions, so are Melinda's parents, IMO.

I think Richard Ricci's wife should have sued Nancy Grace for defamation of character. I think she also should have sued the Salt Lake city PD for wrongful death.

Richard Ricci would have never been sent back to prison if he didn't violate his parolle.

Richard Ricci's wife could have sued but she probably was told that it would be a waste of time as she would probably get nothing.

I did not realize this but Angela Ricci did file lawsuits againt the Utha Department of Corrections and the City of Salt Lake.
Utha D.O.C. settled with Angela for $150,000 but the lawsuit against Salt lake City was dismissed by several judges for lack of evidence.
