It seems that prosecutor type attack shows are going to have to change their tactics in light of this news.
CNN and Grace argued the wrongful death lawsuit brought by Melinda Duckett's family would "severely chill" journalists' coverage of missing-persons cases. But U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges on Thursday denied their motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
This should bring an end to reporters trying these cases in the court of public opinion instead of prosecutors and detectives actually trying to find the truth. The missing person in the Duckett case will never be found because Nancy Grace caused an important source of information to kill herself instead of helping police.
So hopefully a nice multi-million dollar judgement will be wrung out of CNN to prevent other attack shows from messing things up in the future.
