As for > Nancy Grace, well, f*ck her too. > I don't want to misrepresent Toobin - he was not directly criticizing Grace (though I think that was implied), just identifying who the defense lawyers were criticizing. I am not going to defend Toobin's record (who I think had his own sex scandal a while back). I do think though that his credibility is several light years beyond Grace's. If he is the legal equivalent of Dr. Phil (I think he is even a step or two above that - I read his book on the Supreme Court a few years ago and thought it pretty good), she is the legal equivalent of Fred Phelps. Still, I agree that the entire field of legal commentary on television is so slimy that few there be who can venture into it without stinking. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
