Nancy Grace Leaving HLN After 12 Years

Nancy Grace announced in a statement on Thursday she will be leaving HLN, her home network of over a decade.

“This fall, I’ll be leaving HLN, my longtime TV home, with a full heart and endless gratitude,” Grace said. “The network has been my extended family for nearly a dozen years, and I am proud of the amazing work we’ve produced together.”

The host continued, “We created an unparalleled platform that gave crime victims a voice and succeeded in helping to find missing people and spotlight unsolved homicides.”

Grace, who comes from Macon, Georgia, started her law career at the age of 19 when her finance was murdered.

After graduating from Mercer Law School and completing an LLM in constitutional and criminal law at New York University, Grace became a special prosecutor for the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in Atlanta.

She became a co-host of Cochran and Grace after her reputation with high-profile cases in Atlanta courts caught the attention of Court TV executes.

Her coverage of the Casey Anthony trial, in which Anthony was accused and eventually acquitted of the murder of her young daughter Caylee Anthony, helped make Grace an even bigger household name.

Grace did not state specifically how she planned on continuing her career. “I will continue my fight for justice across a variety of traditional and new media, where victims’ voices can reach an entirely engaged audience,” she said in a statement.

She will be leaving her network of 12 years when her contract is up in the fall.
