The Melinda Duckett trial against television personality Nancy Grace has been postponed so that one of the attorneys in the case can recuperate from knee surgery. I think it’s odd such a personal reason for an attorney to take leave and I ask myself why they need time off or why they can’t find a replacement attorney to push things through but I assume all parties wanted the extra time to better prepare a case in what is sure to be a volatile trial by jury.

I will refrain from injecting my personal opinion on this case for the simple fact I have a predisposed hatred of Nancy Grace and anything she does on television. I think her sensationalist news reporting and “hard hitting style” are disgusting and she has been wrong on more than one occasion with her slanted opinions and judgemental review of every non case in the world.
