If it was my wife I'd be frantic and I'd be searching the area. Nah, the guy is a creep. Who is George by the way?

as it stands........ the publicity they have had to deal with and now the threats and all the aftershock from the public is warranted , That was lousy judgement on Cindy's part.

Would you suggest that every parent/ grandparent call Nancy for help to locate their child should it go missing??

Nancy has ONE interest in mind. Nancy. She does not even hear what others on her panel have to say, most times as she interrupts , speaks over them and listens only to her own voice.

She has milked this story for some of the highest ratings she has had. Just follow the money. And she is very caring .....about the bottom line and her status. She keeps reminding the viewers that she was a prosecutor. ....

And from there, it didn't stop.



There is no evidence of how and when Laci Peterson died, so by the Florida standards of unreasonable doubt, Scott Peterson should be released.

It is just too toxic. Why on earth would Cindy call Nancy about her grandaughter and not expect this kind of circus to evolve is beyond reason.

any guesses as to how long she will milk this story and fueling the emotions to continue the frenzy ??

Of course they would follow the mother's leads. A competent investigation wouldn't do anything but follow leads. There isn't a mother on the planet that wouldn't scream from the rooftops for help. Hell, Scott Peterson called the police to report his wife missing, but as JLM said the jury still didn't like the way he acted. That jury obviously wasn't sucked in by a liar.

By starting up the media circus she managed to give her daughter a get out of jail free card. She'll milk this story as long as she can, and we should be seeing her book on the shelves in no time.

Actually, Scott called Laci's mom and it was Laci's mom that called police ... all because Scott said he returned from a day of golfing, or maybe it was fishing, and his wife was "missing". It was too soon for him to use the word "missing", and things went downhill from there.



Nancy Grace had her start on Larry King where she argued the Laci Peterson case with Mark Geragos. She was already obnoxious then, but she's over the top in terms of cashing in on other people's emotional pain.

the important thing is : Will you buy the book.?? Will you attend the book signing promotions??

You wouldn't find me anywhere near either .........even if they proclaim the earnings will go to some charity.

.........the one good thing out of this is Caylees law. That is the most constructive memorial one can have for a little girl..

One can also , not ignore the fact that Caylee was a gorgeous child.

********

not sure one can or should compare to other trials. Each case must be evaluated on its own factors.



Very well put. !! cashing in on other peoples pain - deserves emphasis.) as I recall, she milked her victim role due to her fiance's murder , to a shameful extreme. Dignity , poise & tact are not her finest qualities.

**********

I am extremely disappointed in Dr. Drew. He got himself caught up in the circus to a point he lost the professional objectivity his profession demands. I thought he was rather cool for a while and made good sense with some very challenging topics / issues. His reaction blew me away.

She had two eyes, a nose, ears, and so on, just like every other child and puppy.
Nasty Grace embellished her "I'm a victim too" story. I think she suggested that it was a random roadside murder, but it wasn't.
"Grace has described the tragedy as the impetus for her career as a prosecutor and victims' rights advocate, and has often publicly referred to the incident.The Observer researched the murder and found several apparent contradictions between the events and Grace's subsequent statements, including the following:Her fiancé, Keith Griffin, was shot not at random by a stranger, but by a former coworker, Tommy McCoy.
McCoy did not have a prior criminal record and, rather than denying the crime, confessed on the night of the murder.
The jury deliberated for a few hours, not days.
There was no ongoing string of appeals (McCoy's family did not want any). McCoy has only once filed a habeas petition, which was rejected.

You know what is kind of sad ... Ms Anthony doesn't seem to understand how much the general public disagrees with the verdict. She showed up for sentencing half believing that she would walk out of court that day. She was as dolled up as she could be given that she's been living in solitary confinement for 3 years. I half suspect that, in her world, she expects to emerge from the jail as some sort of celebrity to the cheers of the crowds. She may even think that all the fuss that will be put into safely removing her from the jail is an attempt to thwart her moment of glory.

It doesn't matter if you're on tv because you're being tried for murder, or if you are in a **** competition to get married, as long as you're on tv.
