"Flaming nostrils of Justice" Nancy Grace "played fast & loose" w/ethics
Nancy Grace, the host of a self-titled legal show on CNN Headline News, "played fast and loose" with her ethical duties as a Fulton County, Ga., prosecutor in 1990, a federal appeals panel has declared.

Monday's decision by the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a triple murder conviction won by Grace, explaining that her actions didn't change the result of the trial. It is the third time appellate courts have admonished Grace for her conduct as a prosecutor in Georgia. Grace served as an assistant district attorney in Fulton from 1987 to 1996, leaving that year to join Court TV as a commentator.

The three-judge panel on Monday criticized Grace for not following her obligations to disclose to the defendant's lawyer information about other possible suspects. The 11th Circuit also agreed with a magistrate who found it hard to believe that Grace did not knowingly use a detective's false testimony that there were no other suspects....

5. She's gotten a lot of mileage out of that murdered boyfriend
Edited on Wed May-04-05 07:28 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
She seems to trot that out as an excuse every time she's under the gun:

"....."It's a lifetime of work," she said, noting that she decided to become a lawyer after her fiance was murdered. ....."

While having her boyfriend murdered is certainly no joke, you would think there would come a time when a light bulb would click on in her head that makes her wonder if people wrongfully condemned of crimes they didn't commit are not crime victims too.

6. Hey, Bulldozing Is What Matters. At Least
she stood up to the Norm COLEMAN cousing, Sid-freak on ANUS, telling him, "DON'T DO THIS, YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME," when he was jerking off about how she "came on" to him.
