3. I like the impersonator on Boston Legal. I think she coveys how annoying Nancy Grace can be. And she's got the accent down as well.

6. I love Nancy Grace. She is very well versed and very knowledgable about law and court room procedures. The details and perception she adds to her commentaries are parallel to no one else's out there. She stands out in sea of mediocrity. I find her much more interesting then Greta Van Susteren. She is confrontational and argumentative but that's what makes her so interesting.

Immitation is the highest form of flattery. If they aren't talking about you or immitating you ...........you just haven't arrived. She's okay in my book. I try and watch her every chance I get. She is controversial, compassionate, and very intelligent. I love her style. And judging by her rating I am sure I am not the only one.

7. This woman is an absolute bitch and should be taken off the air. I am all for freedom of speech but for some reason she thinks she has to act like a complete and total a##hole to get her point across. I can't believe some idiot gave her airtime - she's less entertaining than a root canal without novocaine.

I would rather listen to Paris Hilton's entire album rather than hear this woman's talk for two seconds.

9. Team Nancy! I love her. Her show rocks and if any of you morons needed a good Prosecuting Attorney, your asses would be knocking on her door! So i say keep doing what you do Nancy, the more people hate on you and do spoof skits of you, the more i become a fan. If you can't stand her ass then why are you watching her in the first place which is why i dont watch Larry King. I have all respect for the man but Nancy is more interesting. And if anybody say she is the cause of that one chick for committing suicide, you're an idiot point blank. If she knew Nancy was gonna ask questions about the disapperance of her child then she should not have agreed to the interview! It's a tragic loss but that girl knew that her lies were catching up to her.

15. OK - for those who believe this woman to be a good prosecuting attorney and a "very well versed and very knowledgable about law and court room procedures. The details and perception she adds to her commentaries are parallel to no one else's out there. She stands out in sea of mediocrity. I find her much more interesting then Greta Van Susteren. She is confrontational and argumentative but that's what makes her so interesting" please read the following:

The Georgia Supreme Court has commented on Grace twice, first in a 1994 heroin trafficking case, Bell v. State, in which it was said that she "exceeded the wide latitude of closing argument" by referring to the defendant's prior convictions for violent felonies which were not at issue in the case (Bell v. State, 263 Ga. 776 (1994)).

In 1997, the court was more severe. Although its decision overturning the murder-arson conviction of businessman Wayne Weldon Carr in the death of his wife turned primarily on other issues, the court made note of Grace's court actions, saying "inappropriate and illegal conduct in the course of the trial," as well as, "We conclude that the conduct of the prosecuting attorney in this case demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness, and was inexcusable."

* Her opening statement in the case promised the jury evidence of physical abuse that she had to know would never be admissible, since that entire aspect of the case had already been excluded by the judge.
* Subpoenas that contained hearing dates Grace knew to be false.
* Failure to disclose a full witness list to the defense in a timely fashion.
* Showing a chart during closing arguments that falsely stated a defense expert had not contradicted the state's case on a key issue.
* Also, during closing argument, "vouching" for the case by telling the jury she herself believed Carr to be guilty.
* And finally, performing two illegal searches of Carr's house, including one in which she was accompanied by a CNN camera crew.

While the court said its reversal was not due to these transgressions, since the case had turned primarily on circumstantial evidence, it nevertheless concluded "the conduct of the prosecuting attorney in this case demonstrated her disregard of the notions of due process and fairness, and was inexcusable." Carr was freed in 2004 when a judge ruled Fulton County had waited too long to retry him.

AND, for some further background on her fine, upstanding character I submit the following:

Mismatched statements regarding fiancé's murder trial:

In March 2006 an article in the New York Observer suggested that Grace had embellished the story of her fiancé's murder and the ensuing trial to make it better support her image.

* Her fiancé, Keith Griffin, was shot not by a random stranger on the street, but by a former coworker.
* Tommy McCoy, who was convicted of the killing, was five years younger than Grace said and did not have a prior criminal record.
* Rather than constantly denying the crime, McCoy confessed the night of the murder.
* The jury deliberated for a few hours, not days, as Grace said.
* Prosecutors asked for the death penalty without consulting Grace. Both the defense and the prosecutors believe that the jury chose life imprisonment instead of death penalty because McCoy was mildly retarded in addition to having no prior criminal record.
* There was no ongoing string of appeals (McCoy's family did not want any). McCoy has only once filed a habeas petition, which was rejected.
* The killing occurred in 1979, not 1980, and Griffin was two years younger than Grace has claimed.

Yes, I work in the legal field and I will tell you that this woman does not speak for all those who search for truth and justice. AND, for those of you out there who will disparage the legal profession the fact is that sometimes people need lawyers. They need GOOD lawyers who are not interested in blatant self-promotion and egotistical tirades. There are lawyers out there who are working to champion those who are unjustly accused and those who are wrongly injured - however, they are overshadowed by these loud-mouthed, egocentric idiots.
