Nancy Grace on Amanda Knox

Posted by on Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 2:19 PM

USA Today:

While Amanda Knox is settling into being back on U.S. soil and many are cheering her release from an Italian prison, Nancy Grace is speaking out against the former college student.

"I was very disturbed, because I think it is a huge miscarriage of justice," Grace told Access Hollywood after Monday's Dancing With the Stars show.

"I believe that while Amanda Knox did not wield the knife herself, I think that she was there, with her boyfriend, and that he did the deed, and that she egged him on. That's what I think happened," Nancy declared.

Is this a stunt? Does Nancy Grace know something about the case that so many others have missed? Is she a small but real crack in America's golden bowl.

I never thought I'd see the day when Charles and Nancy Grace agreed on something.

Nancy Grace will say anything to get publicity. I'm expecting her to release a video of her giving blow jobs to barn yard animals by the end of her "career".".

Yup, and this article is a meta-stunt.

You got the bowl part right. Nancy Grace is a toilet bowl, not a golden bowl, and she's full of shit, and it won't flush. She is the worst person in the world.

You know she hounded a woman to death some years ago, right? Attacked her in an interview, in her inimitable style, accusing her of murdering her missing child, until she committed suicide? And Grace said the next day "guilt made her do it". She's a complete and utter piece of filth.

In her courtroom career she was repeatedly censured by the Supreme Court of Georgia. She knowingly used false testimony and disregarded due process and fairness. She is A HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE WOMAN, absolutely without any saving grace, and should not be mentioned here on Slog.

If she is so adamantly sure, then why didn't she go to Perugia and offer her testimony? Perhaps she should be taken into custody as a material witness and extradited to Italy to provide her evidence. Or, maybe she is being her attention hog self, shrieking whatever shrill nonesense will get her press coverage.

In either case, I wouldn't object to her being taken into police custody.

"that she egged him on"

Nancy Grace would be flaying people alive a hundred or two years ago. She's a bloodthirsty little monster.

To answer the two questions in your final paragraph, Charles...
Is this a stunt?
Yes, unequivocally. Grace does nothing that isn't a crass, self-aggrandizing, publicity-seeking stunt.
Does Nancy Grace know something about the case that so many others have missed?
No, she knows nothing about the Knox case. But she does know how to sell herself, how to generate TV ratings.

And you, apparently, fell for her scam.

Good gods, Charles. Please, get a new hobby. Soon. Your obsessive perseverating on this is becoming kind of creepy.

I believe I went to Mars last night, and I have a 20 foot cock, and I own a giant pig that shits gold.

If we're talking about what people BELIEVE, here...

Nancy Grace doesn't understand the concept of "innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by actual evidence". That ought to disqualify her from commenting on criminal justice, but for some reason it doesn't.

Let's see, could Nancy Grace see her neighbor's house being burgaled and do nothing about it? No, not even a horrible old skank like her could do that.

In Nancy Graceland, there is no such thing as an innocent defendant... Strike that. No such thing as an innocent suspect.

@18,

I think the term you're looking for is "anal fissure".

That's your journalistic heroine? Nancy Grace? Oh, good luck with that, honey.

Nancy Grace is monstrous, shrilling loon-burger.

At least she's talking about someone other than the dead boyfriend. God how she milked that story for decades.

Nancy Grace is a cunt that needs to have her labia electolyzed with a train set transformer and cameras focused on her waterboarded Chlamidia ass until she admits that she's the stupid fucking waste of human DNA that she is.

Nancy Grace thinks the prosecution is ALWAYS right, no exceptions. She might have at some time thought a suspect who hadn't been charged yet might have possibly been innocent but she got over it.

Remember this is the woman who was so convinced of the guilt of the accused in the Duke Lacrosse case and didn't even have the courage to show up on her own show the day after the prosecutor was disbarred and the players were declared innocent of all charges.

Charles, thanks for the Henry James reference, but that won't entice me into agreeing with Nancy Grace.

What's really interesting here is that even as Nancy Grace proclaims Amanda Knox guilty, she's simultaneously declaring that the prosecution really did get it all wrong. Nancy's theory of the crime is completely different from that of the Italian prosecutors. They said that the knife that was the murder weapon had Amanda's DNA on the handle, and murder victim Meredith Kercher's on the blade. It was at the very center of their case. But Nancy KNOWS it didn't happen this way, it happened her way. Amanda didn't do the stabing, Raphael did it. Obviously she knows this from evidence that even the Italian prosecutors never had. Why is she on the air instead of "psychically" hunting terrorists?
