In the Red Clay Scoop category, The Bald Truth has learned a closely held secret HLN host Nancy Grace may be trying to hide from fans all atwitter about her Dancing With The Stars debut Monday: the Macon, Ga. native is no stranger to the dance floor.
Don’t let that ‘aw shucks, I’m just a country girl,’ fluttery eyelashes routine fool you like it did more than one pedigreed criminal defense lawyer in her DA days, before she ate them for lunch.
Any contestants snickering at the petite one time prosecutor training hard to drop a few pounds before her upcoming gladiator games had better chew on this fried hushpuppy:

Who would have dreamed Los Angeles prosecutors who once sent detectives all over the world to investigate charges Michael Jackson was a pedophile would now be fighting to defend the late pop star’s reputation, trying to keep damning evidence against him they once worked so hard to collect…OUT of court?
Yet, in the manslaughter trial of Jackson doctor Conrad Murray in Los Angeles, where a jury pool was selected this week, you won’t hear much about the pop star’s past drug abuse —- or past molestation trials and tribulations from 1993 to 2005, when Jackson was acquitted of sexually abusing a 13 year old former cancer patient.
What you will hear are charges his $150,000 a month doctor allegedly failed to monitor Jackson in his own bedroom, where he died of a drug overdose in 2009 from a powerful anesthetic called Propofol, aka Diprivan, a milky white fluid one anesthesiologist tells me is known to be quietly abused by some medical professionals for its fleeting sexual high. He called the short-acting hypnotic ideal for surgery if given in a hospital setting, but risky without vital sign monitors and a doctor watching them.

With Casey Anthony still flirting with a possible deal that could earn her millions of dollars posing for Hustler magazine, one lawyer says there’s one thing publisher Larry Flynt could do to seal the deal —and make it a win for Team Casey and its vilified vixen: give her a job.
“It wouldn’t cost him any more that he was willing to pay already,” says Ray Giudice an Atlanta defense lawyer who has structured many a probation deal for criminal clients, “and it would help satisfy one big part of her one year probation, which requires she get, and keep, a job.” Read the rest of this entry »

Imagine Caylee Anthony squeeling with delight, as she blows out six candles on a birthday cake—her own. That’s what might have been today, had she not been found dumped in a swamp near her home in Orlando, Florida.
With her mother acquitted on murder charges and now entertaining million dollar deals from the likes of Hustler magazine, her birthday is a reminder of raw wounds left by a shocking not guilty verdict and exposed a justice system that some critics say favors criminals — and killers.
I can only compare it to the gasps heard after O. J. Simpson was acquitted for a double murder linked by slam dunk DNA evidence in 1995, when I was investigating the case for CNN and breaking most of the network exclusives with a team of crack producers. Read the rest of this entry »
