Nancy Grace

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with Court TV's Nancy Grace. A former prosecutor, Grace tends to lock on to a suspect and find him/her guilty before an arrest had been made or a trial concluded.

Two weeks after telling police that her son had been snatched from his crib, Melinda Duckett found herself reeling in an interview with TV's famously prosecutorial Nancy Grace. Before it was over, Grace was pounding her desk and loudly demanding to know: "Where were you? Why aren't you telling us where you were that day?"

A day after the taping, Duckett, 21, shot herself to death, deepening the mystery of what happened to the boy.

I understand the need for ratings and what-not, but is this going too far? If Melinda Ducket did have something to do with the disappearance does that justify the treatment she received by Grace? And she did not have anything to do with it, how horrible must it be to be terrified at the thought of where your baby is AND have to defend yourself from the likes of Nancy Grace?

Janine Iamunno, a spokeswoman for Grace, said in an e-mail that Duckett's death was "an extremely sad development," but that the program would continue covering the case.

"We feel a responsibility to bring attention to this case in the hopes of helping find Trenton Duckett, who remains missing," Iamunno said.

And if, God willing, they find this little boy, he'll be returned to a motherless home.
