New York Observer
The story that CNN Headline News star Nancy Grace has been telling about her fiance’s murder isn’t quite accurate, reports Rebecca Dana. Grace says the killer was a random robber with a crime record; he was a former co-worker with no prior convictions. There are other inaccuracies, too. A CNN veep says: “While some details may be able to be clarified in the over 25 years since the case, they do not [bear] any significance on Nancy’s career as a prosecutor, victims’ advocate or television host.”
