Jaycee Dugard? What makes you think this little boy wasn't the victim of the same type of crime? And what about Jacob Wetterling? He's never been found, either. You and Nancy Grace are idiots.

Grace's hostile, anger ridden accusatory and relentless questioning was demeaning. The public humiliation that Grace inflicted on the young mother on national television in front of millions of people was disgraceful.....then to re-run the show over and over and over and over for ALL to see. For Nancy Grace to inject HERSELF into an open police investigation and try to interrogate Duckett in the manner she did.....was so wrong. She is only a tv host/anchor for god's sake. She pushed and pounded over and over..... ambushed her! Melinda Duckett did NOT have to answer one question that was DEMANDED by Nancy Grace.

Trenton Duckett is missing since August 27, 2006. His mother Melinda Duckett is the prime suspect, but there is no evidence proving that Melinda did anything with or to Trenton. However, there is a handful of people who want to paint the picture of Melinda as an unfit mother and have persuaded the press to do their dirty work for them. Just like they had DCF do their dirty work for them. Melinda Duckett was set up All the info that Nancy Grace was supplied came from the Duckett Trust fund signatory, Laurie Konnerth. She bragged about it on the forums. Here is a quote from her: "I want to post the comment made by Laurie Konnerth about the porn. You can view it at http://www.ihearttogossip.blogspot.com/ "Friday October 20, 2006 7:44 PM Also, I didn't mean to be rude the other night when I didn't answer this..... without looking back and reading, I know someone asked me about the porno thing. The answer to that is yes, I do know all about it. I actually provided that information (print out of site with photo) to the FDLE at the end of August. I swear....the investigator practically skipped into the PD he was so happy to get it. At that time they were finding out more and more about Melinda and were still amazed with her multi-faceted abilities!! Also, just about everything that you see on NG, is info that I have given her... so with that in mind, she hasn't had a chance to do anything on the porn yet, so I would like to wait until this evening to see if she is able to get it into the show tonight. Don't want to upstage her, she has been so good to us! Also, I have not given any of the porn stuff to the local media ---although I was tempted at times!!" Laurie provided that info "at the end of August". Trenton went missing August 27th. So in four days Laurie "found" the porno. Are you starting to "get the picture here?" Was It Really Worth It?

Laurie provided that info “at the end of August”. Trenton went missing August 27th. So in four days Laurie “found” the porno.

Are you starting to “get the picture here?”

In fact, chances are pretty good that you're not thinking of yourself in any kind of self-preservation mode or considering anything but what's bothering you. I'm not saying Melissa was innocent or guilty, but I believe most people don't understand how a depressed person thinks. Melissa did the show for whatever reasons motivated her, but chances are pretty good that she never thought about what would happen, what kind of person Nancy Grace is, that the fact she was a "person of interest" would become such a focal point of the whole interview, etc., because she was bothered by the disappearance of her kid and the things that were going on around that. Regardless of whether she had any involvement in his disappearance or not, that would have been what she was focusing on. For those that believe Melissa could have just stopped the interview, when you're depressed and someone is taking something out on you or hammering you for an answer, you can't think of how to stop it. Your brain freezes up, and you start to shrink in on yourself, wondering how the heck this whole thing started and just wanting someone to stop it. Depressed people are easily intimidated, and I can vouch for the fact that I was often the target of playground bullies and bratty girls that liked being able to pick on me because I couldn't figure out how to fight back effectively enough. The court may rule Nancy Grace innocent, but all I can say is that that will just prove to people that they can bully someone or take advantage of someone and not have to be responsible for their actions. I'm sure most people don't think about how their actions affect other people and some don't even care, but the truth is what you do DOES affect other people. You never know if the person you run into may be pushed over the edge by what you've done. It seems to me that people just don't want to take responsibility for what they do, even though the only person responsible for your behavior is you. And with regards to this comment: "The last time I checked every television show is about ratings…that`s the business and if you are too stupid to know that then keep watching." The last time I checked, not every interviewer out there was as abrasive, rude, or arrogant as Nancy Grace, and their ratings are doing just fine. And this one: "and if Nancy G. was ridiculous in her accusations, buttons triggering an immediate suicide would not have been pressed." Maybe in a rational person's mind, but a depressed person would have just wondered why this was happening to them. I was reduced to tears once by a guy who was behind me in line at a grocery store. He decided he wanted to be ahead of me and that I hadn't been paying enough attention to know that I was actually ahead of him. Unfortunately, I did know he should have been behind me, but I was unable to put up a defense to keep my spot.

She was a prosecutor, for christ's sake, would you expect any less?? Also, pleanty of defendants, celebrity and non, have been torn-into by hard-ball interviewers, humiliated, left defenseless- mostly due to guilt or the fact that indeed they committed accused acts, and backed into a corner, but have not committed suicide. This woman, whom posed nude next to her kidnapped baby's crib, happened to have killed herself post interview. An unfortunate fate was probably not far away in this poor girl's future...and if Nancy G. was ridiculous in her accusations, buttons triggering an immediate suicide would not have been pressed. Blaming NG is a cop-out when looking for a source to blame for this tragedy. Some folks can’t handle the truth, and Nancy doles out the words to describe such, as ugly as they may be.

Nancy lured the girl on her show by acting nice over the phone saying she just wanted to help her find her son but then turned on her. Melinda was accused by this piss poor media of being a sociopath but clearly Melinda was not. They also took the side of the ex husband parading him as a saint yet he is the one who appears sociopathic. Sociopaths stand up for sociopaths and Nancy Grace is the one who is the sociopath. Media has no right to declare anyone guilty as if they are the courts! Nancy was responsible.

I have noticed that almost always is the caregiver of a murdered or missing child in this show are either guilty of the crime or attributed to it. I would think that all options would be considered but it is not. The more I watch this show, the more biased it becomes. What is wrong with TV media. Too much negatism and people thrive on it.

Casey is hard core, very hard. Nancy G. wonders why Casey doesn't show much emotion....Blah, Blah. Well many families believe it shows, "Bad Manners." to cry and slobber in public. CNN had better get a grip on there viewers. "Axe the witch" with the Duke Lacrosse players not getting an a apologize; Milinda Duckett suicide. I don't want to see her ugly kids, what does that have to do with crime cases? I can't believe how she hates the younger generation. Just because she is middle age makes her an authority on everything? I see our young folks our future and love hearing about their ventures. In the mean time, I'll just ban her show and read comments from educated journalists on the web. Maybe she can get a job at one of the scandal sheets from local grocery story. Then it will useful for reading, and line the birdcage. I'd like to see Nancy Grace butt heads with Casey Anthony. Casey is hard core, very hard.

If Nancy's harrasment of suspects is "doing her job", then someone else isn't doing their job. Torture of any kind for the purpose of eliciting a confession is illegal. Period. The US is signatory to the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Since she is a member of the bar and still has access to or involvement with the state legal system, she should be in prison for violating that convention, and her position, in the Duckett case alone. Now she's trying to harrass a confesssion out of Casey Anthony the same way. Again, why isn't she being charged with this obvious crime? Is she above the laws that the rest of us must abide by? If you seriously support her antics, then you're guilty of violating this UN convention as well. Naive? Are you for real? You try facing what Melinda Duckett did, missing child, public witch hunt, malicious entrapment, and see how well you perform. I wouldn't sit for a dam polygraph either. It's a fools tool popularised by television and armchair criminologists like Nancy Grace. It's total bull and it has no evidentiary value so it's a complete waste of time. If your "hero" hadn't trashed Melinda publicly and pushed her over the edge, real law officials might have had more time to arrive at the truth of what happened to Trenton. Nancy Grace is a malicious pig, no better than anyone she accuses, and her ugly butt should rot in prison. Actually it's your comments that are garbage kent.
