It sells news and people were already lined up to watch the lynching and low and behold, no evidence to support a crime, charges dropped and the State with EGG on their faces. I wouldn't doubt that civil suits follow and Ms Grace as well as the DA could be shelling out some money.
Even when a dash cam shows a person committing a crime, they still get their day in court and are innocent until proven guilty. With NO EVIDENCE the media has these boys in prison for life. Reminds me of the big mistake when they announced that Dewey had won the Presidential election. Almost as good as the open and shut case against OJ, who walked on criminal charges.
It's not over until the fat lady sings!!!

Because in the news media today extreme-ism sells. Either the Duke buys are guilty-guilty-guilty as with Nancy Grace or the accuser is a drugged-up slut who shouldn't be trusted in the first place a la FOX News.
The facts of the case need not apply. Now it turns out FOX was right about the Duke Boys being innocent but the reasons they gave were not about the evidence but because they didn't trust the (incidentally black) woman over the (incidentally white) boys. And the same goes around all throughout the media. They get more viewers when they make outlandish claims.

Because that is Nancy Grace's gimmick. Just like going to O'reilly for skewed opinions on the news, people go to Nancy Grace for outrage over crimes. I've been waiting for a good law suit to take her down, considering she doesn't seem to careful about even an occasional "allegedly."

That was the play at the time.
When the case started, she was fomenting a sort of proletarian hatred of the "rich privileged elitist" white boys, because that was where most of America was at the time.
I have no doubt that she can just as easily now slip into a pose of moral outrage about how they were "railroaded", although she will have to give it time and can't be too obvious about it given her prior stance.

Nancy Grace does whatever it takes to attract her viewers, even if it means degrading and accusing someone before the courts does. I hope she get caught for tax evasion or other crimes. And I am not backing any criminals - just her unfair tactic for showmanship.

Yea. she convieniently also had a substitute fill in for her the day the charges were dropped. I wonder why? Couldn't even face the heat or reality of her misandry.

That lady should not be on the news. How ppl actually buy the crap this lady sells amazes me. She did it for ratings, i think it is as simple as that. She and many others owe an apology, but we won't see that.

She is a big mouth know-it-all and was trying to prove it.
An old saying: the whole world can think you are a moron so why open your mouth and prove them right
