Less This Grace

In honor of someone running this search and getting a hit to this blog, I'd like to point to the gentle readers that Nancy Grace will now grace us with her presence on a permanent show on CNN. I've had 4 heart attacks from frustration boiling over whenever she gets herself on Larry King Live, and now a permanent show. The bright side is that she won't sneak up on me by surprise, and I can actually return to watching Larry King without peaking to see if she's on the show.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the reason I don't like her is because (1) the southern twang pisses me off to no end, and (2) she forgets that she's no longer a prosecutor when informing viewers about important legal cases. The reason for no. 2 is that her fiance was killed I believe 2 weeks before their wedding. Tragic. Really. But to allow that to color your judgment...?

So I propose the Nancy Grace rule for HR managers at any DA's office: If a person would not be empaneled on a jury for a criminal trial, then they should not be hired as prosecutors.

Simple enough? The likes of Grace represent THE PEOPLE, not victims. As much as she likes to think of herself as a victims' advocate, that's really not part of her job description as a prosecutor. Should she do the best she can for the victims? Yes. Should she see herself as a sort of vigilante with a license to prosecute? Umm, not quite. I'll have more to say on this once I go through the Larry King transcript from last night...she had quite a few gems in there.
