Nancy Grace And Panel Go Ballistic Over Casey Anthony: ‘The Devil Is Dancing Tonight’

video
» 51 comments

“She’s going to have to live with herself for the rest of her life.” Nancy Grace has, perhaps, taken to the plight of little Caylee Anthony with a fervor unparalleled in the national media, and while she made statements earlier in the day, she seems to have saved her best for her own show. Her outrage was in full force tonight, as was that of the attorneys on her program, who decried the injustice made in setting Casey Anthony free (after a term for lying to authorities).

“She may be celebrating now, but she will ultimately pay,” Grace introduced her segment, and the tenor of her attacks on Casey Anthony didn’t fall throughout the first segment of her program, as she concluded that “the Devil is dancing tonight” before tossing to her even louder, even more over-the-top panelist Susan Moss, who elevated the level of outrage even higher. “We have been O.J.’d!” she shouted, calling the verdict the “worst thing to happen to Florida since the hanging chads.” While fellow panelist Richard Herman refused to blame the jurors– “I will not insult those jurors”– he was pretty much alone on that one. Grace was particularly incensed by the jurors’ refusal to speak to the press, scoffing that “they get on their bus and leave town, literally, back to Pinellas County. It’s over.”

Moss and Grace also found the lack of note-taking suspicious, with Grace finding suspicious that “jurors were sitting with their arms folded just staring blankly in front of them… it was like they had already made their minds up” and decrying the fact that a lack of motive appears to have prevented one juror from believing George Anthony was involved in the death: “the state doesn’t have to prove a motive.”

This was an extremely packed segment, with very high emotions and more than its fair share of disbelief. The whole a-block via Headline News below:

    the devil is using a tragedy for his/her ratings

    The Devil Dancing might just be Nancy Grace in disguise!

  • http://justplaythegame.us JustPlayTheGame

    I guess nanny grace still has her cases of champagne in the closet…

    Nancy Grace now goes after the Jurors on her show? They need to pull her off the air! We have a legal justice system in this country and she made her name on it. Now, it’s all wrong because it’s not how she wants the outcome. And is allowed to spew her hatred and bias of Guilty till proven innocent on the Public through media. this should be an outrage and she should be removed from TV period!!

    The Jurors did their job as presented ,,,America has worked under our system.

    This vile woman should not be allowed an outlet.. I will protest anything and any advertiser she touches!!

  • GoneFishing

    A Stunning Blow…to Nancy Grace’s ratings and reputation, not that she really had a positive reputation to begin with.

    This woman really needs to just STFU, and take a Long Vacation.

  • glenn113

    Thank God, let Nancy Grace go nuts about this story for the next year on her channel. There’s other news out there also.

    Nancy “Horse face” Grace makes me want to puke

  • ModerateMan

    Nancy Grace may be the most unlikeable talking head on cable news but she is probably right in this case. The evidence overwhelmingly points to murder.

  • Obeezy

    How she stays on the air ill never know.. Even the majority of the comments at HUff PO are against this shrew of a woman…. And that woman she has on Moss or something, another harpy… She is wrong about everything everytime…

    Well MM, you’re half right. She is the most unlikeable talking head on television.

    Nancy can’t comprehend that SHE is a big part of the problem. She has polluted the airwaves night after night, then doesn’t understand being REJECTED.

  • scottksmith

    Earlier today (before verdict), Nancy got a call from a listener joking about her age. I dunno, but I suspect it’s about TWICE the measurement in inches around her hips. Say it isn’t SO Nancy ! Dumb blondes are a dime a dozen, but this one is only worth 5 cents.

  • scottksmith

    Hey Nancy-poo … I’ve been watching your ‘news’ show for the past couple of years on Dish Network (satellite) as I go from Animal Planet up to FOX NEWS. I only watched your vindictive ‘tot-mom’ remarks for a few seconds before moving on, but I can’t help wondering what happened in your early life to turn you into such a hatefull BITCH ! I can’t imagine you being married. Are you ? The poor bastard must be the most hen-pecked male on the face of the planet. You really need psycological help. Also, I suggest you call Weight Watchers.

    The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
    He was in a bind ‘cos he was way behind: he was willin’ to make a deal.
    When he came across this young man sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot.
    And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: “Boy let me tell you what:
    “I bet you didn’t know it, but I’m a fiddle player too.
    “And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.
    “Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
    “I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, ‘cos I think I’m better than you.”
    The boy said: “My name’s Johnny and it might be a sin,
    “But I’ll take your bet, your gonna regret, ‘cos I’m the best that’s ever been.”

    Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
    ‘Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards.
    And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
    But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

    The devil opened up his case and he said: “I’ll start this show.”
    And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow.
    And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
    Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
    When the devil finished, Johnny said: “Well you’re pretty good ol’ son.
    “But sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done.”

    Fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
    The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
    Chicken in the bread pan, pickin’ out dough.
    “Granny, does your dog bite?”
    “No, child, no.”

    The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat.
    He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet.
    Johnny said: “Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
    “I told you once, you son of a bitch, I’m the best that’s ever been.”

    And he played fire on the mountain, run boys, run.
    The devil’s in the house of the risin’ sun.
    Chicken in the bread pan, now they’re pickin’ out dough.
    “Granny, will your dog bite?”
    “No, child, no.”

    That’s right Freak, The Devil went down to Georgia. He didn’t quite make it to central Florida.

  • AmericaSucks

    Grace is a waste of bandwidth, more concerned with not being able to jack her ratings with an outrage-driven interview of jurors than anything else. Remember her shameful treatment of Elizabeth Smart? Douche chills.

    To see Nancy Grace’s arrogant sanctimonious head explode was a joy.

    The Devil made it to about I-4 and stopped.
    I live 65 miles north of I-4.
    At least the lyrics I posted are the original version. I wonder if anyone here will notice.

    Hearing Nancy Grace, of all people, criticizing jurors for already having their minds made up is too rich.

    Fun Fact: Charlie Daniels toured Europe with Leonard Cohen back in 1970, and played on a couple of Leonard Cohen albums.

    I doubt it. I’ve seen Charlie here in Pasco at the Angelis a couple of times, great guy.

  • Nature Freak

    Nancy Grace is a disgrace not only to the human race but also to the carbon based lifeform race. Non carbon based lifeforms and entities prefer just to avoid Nancy Grace when at all possible.

    Nancy is just pissed because her meal ticket (and ratings) are done until the next white girl/child murder happens that she can sensationalize.

  • Tedderman

    Yes I was, I didn’t think this post was that active so a couple of other posts flew before I replied.

  • jazj2006

    Nancy Grace is a dumb bitch who needs to be taken off the air because there are better things to watch than her rantings about whatever or whoever. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. She claims to be a former prosecutor, I guess she has forgotten this part of the law. I can not stand this broad.

  • Tedderman

    I dislike Nancy Grace’s style of “guilty if I say so” intently. I have not watched a single minute of one of her shows since the Natile Holloway disappearance she ran into the ground. (no pun intended)

  • Yoda002

    A lot people attacking Grace but she knows her shit and Casey will get her day because you can only lie your way out of shit for so long before you get stung.

    Nancy Grace may create true peace on earth by uniting everyone in their hatred of Nancy Grace.

    Nancy Grace was sent by angels.

    As for me, I have hated Nancy Grace ever since she began her cable show with Johnnie Cochrin in the late 1990′s. Even my late Mom and Dad could not stand her.
    Nancy Grace is sandpaper on my soul.

    I believe Casey is as guilty as sin and got exceedingly lucky, but Nancy Grace truly needs a personality transplant. I have felt this way since the late 1990′s.

    I don’t doubt Grace is intelligent; she made a hell of a lot money promoting this case.

    I was very stunned by the attitude these so called “journalists”. Journalism is about reporting the news without any biased opinions. I guess they are not journalist but merely a bunch of “gossipers”.

    I am glad that I do not watch this trashy news channels.

    By the way every one of us should read this, and of course the gossipers on CNN, if they can read, that is!

    Nancy’s head: Boom goes the Dynamite

  • NonElite

    Nancy Grace has too much invested in the Casey Anthony story to admit she was wrong about so many things she has said. She’s made a career of it.
    Nancy Grace is the reason I rarely visit HLN anymore.

  • kakashivandoom

    Nancy Graces Hatred addiction is out of control. She almost succeedded to destroy the Judicial system. It is not her hitman. Years back a simular case was on her show where she bullied an accused mom of foul play in the dissappearance of her child. she came to nancy for help hoping the show would find her child. bad move the Hate addict Nancy Grace immediately pounced like some vicsious predator calling the woman a child killer and aof disposing of the body. The woman already emotionally distraught killed herself over the bullying. Nancy still walks free. She is the perfect hypocrite.
    I feel her kids should be taken from her so they get raised in a more forgiving environment , in a more sutible example of human behavior. Nancy Graces public brainwashing has undermined the justice system. She made it almost impossible to select a unbiased jury. She is the reason this case was settled this way. They can’t say it publically but it they would have found casey guilty the appeal would have resulted in the media forever being altered to prevent this ever happening again. The woman almost destroyed the current justice and media standards of our Nation. She is a National Security Risk. She is a murderous Bully that should be arrested immediately. She should have to pay ALL casey Anthony’s court fee’s. and the saddest thing of all is how her getting away with breaking the law has caused other similar like minded Journalists to come into their own success namely Jane Valez Mitchell, both these women think they are Judge Jury and Executioner. They should both be in prison as we speak. I hate your show. I hate your message and I hate your network for enabling you to be so publically vicsious against the innocent until proven guilty citizens of this Great Nation.

    Your use of a legal loop-hole does not make you Hate speech against one of us justified. I am now beginning my boycott of all you are connected with. I will continue to post against you daily with the exact same level of venom that you have demonstrated. How do you like the taste of your own medicine? I invite al;l to join me against you. You are one incredible waste of talent lady. How can you stand yourself. What if someone like you were against your children. would you feel as doomed as casey anthony must have felt. All along she knew you had destroyed her chance of a fair trial. Thankfully the Florida Prosecuters Knew they better not win or everything gets scrapped, Justice media. are supposed to be entirely separate. You are no better than Hitler. accept you pick victims the public won’t mind seeing being abused. I hope you lose everything and your children too. How’s that for being the unfair accuser you have trained me to be. Happy yet?

  • kakashivandoom

    your network is the ring-leader of a lynch mob.
    They fired Keith Oberman for being so outspoken.
    You are simply using the Justice system to be your personal vigilante.

  • kakashivandoom

    ANd you are a lier as well. you say the devil is dancing but it looks like you are setting down.

  • Rich1959

    Wow, Nancy hasn’t been this upset since she CONVICTED the Duke lacrosse players. Utterly despicable how she drug those boys and their families through the mud on national TV. Of course a Judge found otherwise,,still waiting for an apology or admission she was horribly wrong.

  • NonElite

    The comments here inspired me to look back on Graces previous blunders and now I’m wondering why HLN has kept her. As a manager, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be so generous.

  • kakashivandoom

    This is why you are a failed prosecutor. You have NO unbiased objectivity.
    You are THE worst person to EVER be a spokeperson for truth. And everyone can see that.
    I cannot wait until even the smallest imperfection is found in your life then we will spread it across ever OTHER media outlet I can post on. I will forever be researching people like you and Jane. Hope I find one of you closet skeletons. I will use it to ruin you. I will operate within this legal method, just like you do. some day you will realize you are a murderer yourself. Remember when Christ said
    “And if thou Judgest another thou are in Judgement yourself and thou that sayest “RACA” against another you are in danger of hellfire.”
    Raca is Hebrew for “Thou worthless.”
    you certainly appear to have a lot of Hellfire preserved for your retirement. But it is obvious you do not believe in any higher authority. I feel that is why you play god here. so you can Judge. Bet the network wanted casey Anthony on the show so you could put the needle in her arm.

  • kakashivandoom

    If only you would repent

  • kakashivandoom

    Well I have to go. there are countless other venues to post on. Your Network will regret the day they hired you
    I must go continue the good fight against injustice. you have to be dealt with and I mean to cause the network to deal with you. You failed to realize. You are not the only hate addict in the world. I am far more viscious than you in speech. mild in physical action but determined NEVER to stop.

  • mpuga2110

    Nancy Grace should know better that the jury of peer’s of Casey Anthony viewed the evidence which to fair was mostly circumstantial. I am sure if the Ms. Anthony was found guilty Nancy Grace would be throwing roses of those who served on the jury.

    Ms. Anthony was tried in a court of law in front of judge and jury of her peers. The jury saw that the prosecution did not prove beyond a reason of a doubt and thus came back with the verdict of not guilty. The justice system worked and Grace may not like it but this is the system that makes the republic for what it is all about.

    To belittle the jury who no doubt listened to the evidence from the prosecution, the defense tearing bringing up doubt in the prosecution case, forensics that did not back up the prosecutions argument, and basing a case on mostly circumstantial evidence.

    Ms. Grace and her ilk are fast to pass judgement and they were not in the jury room where they discussed the case and it is a good thing that they were sequestered.

    Now, I have a lot of sympathy for those who serve on the jury for their lives have forever been changed for doing their duty as citizens of The Republic. Those that served on the jury will have to face questions from friends, family, and those who do not know them with lord knows what abuse that will come their way. Abuse no doubt that will be propagated by the vile and hate from blokes like Grace on the television.

    I hope Nancy Grace goes away just like Glen Beck off the television.

    The jurors did their job and to be critical of them is pure hate.

  • CAconservative

    This, over the top segment of this woman’s show is why I don’t watch it. She, and her peanut-gallery act as though they personally have been insulted because their supposed professional, legal opinions got stepped on, and their raging in their own embarrassment.
    In O.J.’s trial, one of the attorneys said, “if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit.” This jury applied the weak circumstantial evidence to the charges and, “they didn’t fit”. Had the State charged her with a lessor crime that could have been supported by the evidence, she may have been convicted but, in this case the D.A.’s office was trying grab the gold ring for it’s own self interest and in doing so, probably allowed a guilty person to go free. If fingers are to be pointed, point them where they need to pointed, directly at the inept D.A’s office!

  • tcranston

    Patriotic Americans lend their energy and their support to the Constitutional rights to a fair trial, and trial by one’s peers, and habeas corpus. Nancy Grace acts like a traitor to these hallowed principles, ones that my family members and friends have fought and died for since WWII. Grace wants only kangaroo courts, vigilantism, and the “thrills” that sick minds got from events such as the Salem Witch Trials and the Inquisition. She fancies herself in charge of these Witch Trials, and gets off on the power that fomenting fear and hatred can bring. She sickly carps at those who have not had a fair trial, and pronounces guilt from an executive chair, separated by thousands of miles from the people involved in her alleged crimes. Shame, dishonor, and heartache should be her only rewards. Think: If you are alleged to have murdered someone, yet the State has no identified cause of death of your supposed victim, there are no witnesses to your alleged deed, and there is no forensic evidence that a) a crime occurred, and b) that you were in any way involved, then I would bet you’d be thrilled that you live in America where any sane jury would acquit you. “Beyond a reasonable doubt” is the standard for murder convictions. Nancy Grace only sought ratings and to stir hatred by branding a young woman as an unfit mother, and therefore presumed guilty of murder. Not even close to the conditions needed to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Anthony was guilty.

  • Blue123

    Nancy Disgrace is judge, jury and she would be glad to be hangman if it help her sick show. She convicted Scott Peterson months before the jury found him guilty. She caused a woman to commit suiside because of her hounding. She is the one that should be in jail. Why is this horrible woman on the air?

  • Rokker

    I feel sorry for Nancy Grace’s husband who has to live with her.

  • Paul

    Amen.  That chick (Nancy, not Casey) disgusts me.  So does the other one, but she doesn’t have a public forum.

  • Jdohe

    I feel sorry for those twins;hope somebody sane is their babysitter hope somebody considers getting Children’s Protection Services inerested in a home visit to check on them.
