After four years, the wrongful death lawsuit against Nancy Grace is over.
The Duckett family agreed to a settlement which requires Grace to pay $200,000 annually to a trust fund set aside for still missing Trenton Duckett, two years of age at the time of his disappearance.
Here's an interesting condition.
Should Trenton remain missing at age thirteen, the trust would be transferred to The Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Trenton's mother committed suicide after an on-air interview with Grace, who overly pressed the young woman for details about her missing son. The family filed suit against Grace and CNN, claiming both were responsible for the death. Attorneys for the defendants sought dismissal for years, but proved unsuccessful in doing so.
Trenton would be six today.
Grace offers her typical gracelessness here.

that settlement makes ZERO sense and is nothing I would agree to: My guess is these folks are older and their health has slipped and nancy got em in her wolf jaws.... how interested is she in finding young mr. duckett now? And the lies of why his grandpa is in prison: Nearly exposed a drug ring ... had to go ..
The article states that the case was dismissed and that all parties have stated Grace is not the cause. i am sorry, but that is not correct. Unless the family has come out and stated that, all the monetary settlement means is that they prefer to use money in searching for the child. I wonder as well, who suggested a nice check to make all this go away?
Here's something interesing. This blog illumines that the same judge who decided the CNN case also denied Trenton's Grandpa's appeal on his own case. This is very similar to the Tommy Ziegler case where no matter what (through promotions and such) one judge has seen over the case for all these years denying appeal after appeal even for DNA and other purposes. If you read the Ziegler stuff it seems kind of evident that it's vendetta. Anyway, I know it's a smaller place where the duckett stuff is going on but this is sure a lot of power for one man to have over an entire family's life. I guess NOW we can easily surmise where the trade-off was.
