0:00.0	Welcome to the Crime Roundup.
0:09.8	I'm Cheryl McCollum, and I'm joined today, like always, with the one and only the peerless Nancy Grace.
0:20.0	Good morning, honey.
0:21.7	You know what?
0:22.4	I can't even speak after I found out that an anchor at my old TV home, CNN, of course,

1:51.5	If you change rich to elderly or African American or lesbian, change the group, it sounds heinous. The fact they think he's sexy, the fact they think

2:19.1	Look at this, you know, handsome man that is now our new hero.
