Recently there was a story about a mother Toni Medrano who accidently smothered her three day old son after drinking, she had a blood alcohol level of .11, laid down next to her son Adrian, rolled over on top of Adrian, and killed him. The incident itself is downright horrible. You can imagine the guilt and sheer grief she was feeling after the death of Adrian by her own hands. She was a fairly young mother 29, she had other children before Adrian. Then Nancy Grace got wind of the story, Doomsday. When the story was featured on Nancy's show she condemned Tori with comments such as 'She's waking up and she is so drunk off a fifth of vodka she doesn't even know her baby is laying there dead beside her,' practically yelling. After the segment aired Tori was ridiculed so harshly with death threats, and insults AFTER the Nancy Grace show. She was so miserable racked with guilt, she lit herself on FIRE, and committed suicide. Now it isn't Nancy Grace's fault that people went and treated her that way. She didn't tell them to go and send tons of hate mail. But that doesn't mean she didn't instigate it, Tori was already charged with two counts of manslaughter which can face up to 10 years in prison. Granted not the value of life loss, but time for atonement. The main question is, is Nancy Grace a bully and be held somewhat responsible? I think so if you are on TV and millions of people are watching you, you should be careful what you say it may be YOUR opinion but people can sympathize with you and act on it. Check the video for yourself.
I agree. We all make mistakes. Rather than judge we should use the opportunity to reflect and to learn. Thanks for an interesting perspective.
