Duckett Family Sues CNN, Nancy Grace

[johnnie]

"OCALA, Fla. -- A judge has ruled that a lawsuit between relatives of a missing boy's mother who killed herself after aggressive questioning by CNN's Nancy Grace and the talk show host will be tried in federal court.

According to court documents, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary R. Jones has ruled that federal court would handle the suit because the involved parties are from different jurisdictions.

The lawsuit claims that Grace caused severe emotional distress that led to Melinda Duckett's suicide in 2006."

I bet those nostrils did a double-take when she heard this.

1. Couldn't happen to a finer person!

2. A bit off topic -- Did they ever find the little boy?

Nancy Grace was over the top on that interview (as usual). Can't stand to tune in and watch her. Ugh!

5. No, they never found him

I have been following it since it happened because there was so much to the story that I got interested. Law enforcement has said that she may have handed him off to someone, but there is no proof of that and there is also no proof of her killing him. The case seems to be at a stand still right now.

10. Thanks

We lose track of stories like this and forget about them so easily. :(

12. That's an excellent point

Nancy Grace and others like her leave a trail of emotional destruction behind them, then they're on to the next big story.

But she especially seems to specialize in these "hit 'n run" pieces where she will allow no other point of view but her own, based on little or no evidence.

It's a delight to see someone drag her into the ugly reality she's caused.

3. What a shrew.

6. I know one of the lawyers suing her

Go get her! She is a disgrace.

7. She's anything but "Grace"-ful, as usual...

Sadly, Trenton Duckett is still missing, with no credible leads in months. His father has not given up the efforts to find him...

I hope that family gets whatever justice they can, including Nasty Grease getting booted from the airwaves.

8. OK, it's a start, but what do we sue Glenn Beck for? Let's go for a double! nt

9. Good! It's About Time People Like Her Have Some Level Of Fear Towards Accountability.

11. It was all about the ratings

The young woman had just killed herself that day and CNN and Grace decided to run the interview anyway. It was one of the most tasteless things I have seen in a long while on a show like that.
