I remember her from way back in her CourtTV days. She was covering the trial of a young man accused of murdering some children because God told him to. “If he thinks he’s going to get away with a plea of insanity, he’s crazy!” Well thought out, Nance. ---

> [@Susanann](#): > > Until I saw this topic, I thought I was the only one who thought she was annoying. I had the opposite reaction when I first saw her: I was astounded that anyone might \*not \*find her too annoying to watch. I was convinced that she was the most abrasive living television personality, right up to the moment when I first saw Jane Velez-Mitchell. ---

I figure it’s a demonstration of the consequences of free will. You can freely choose to watch Nancy Grace. But if you do so you will suffer for your actions. So Nancy Grace is like a warning about the temptations of Satan. ---

> [@](#): > > I have never heard of this Nancy Grace person. But I gather from your poll that I should be glad about that… Nancy Grace is a former prosecutor. She now is the host of a cable television show about current criminal cases. These are the neutral facts about her. Subjectively, she’s an unpleasant person. She oftens makes judgements for which she does not have sufficient factual support and then uses her show as a pulpit to disseminate her views. ---
