All About Nancy Grace

The dubious personality that is Nancy Ann Grace is a onetime prosecutor and the host of the Headline News show that shares her name. She was also the former host of a court television news show called “Closing Arguments.” Grace has been on many other television shows like “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The View” and “Larry King Live.” Nancy Grace has also authored a book, “Objection!,” that made the “New York Times” Best Seller list in 2005. Nancy characterizes herself as a victims rights advocate, a goal she says was brought about by the heartbreaking death of her finance when Nancy was only 19 years old.

Nancy Grace was born on October 23, 1959 in Macon, Georgia and lived a normal working-class childhood. Grace's plan to marry and become an English teacher came to an end when her fiancé Keith Griffin was murdered by a disgruntled former employee. From then on her concentration turned to law and victims rights. She attended and graduated from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University Georgia and received her Masters in constitutional and criminal law at New York University. While a special prosecutor for the Atlanta-Fulton County District Attorney's office, Grace took on the hard felony cases like child molestation, arson and serial rape. Nancy Grace is said to have won every conviction she ever prosecuted, even though a few cases were later overturned on appeal.

Nancy Grace left Court TV in 2007 to more intensely pursue her CNN career along with doing plenty of charity work. In April 2007, Nancy wed David Linch, who is an investment banker from Atlanta. On November 4, 2007, Nancy gave birth to fraternal twins, John David and Lucy Elizabeth.
