Who Nancy Grace Blames for the O.J. Simpson Trial's Unruly Atmosphere

The O.J. Simpson trial featured an unprecedented level of media coverage, and the tone in the courtroom, many felt, was unruly and out of control. TV personality Nancy Grace believes that Judge Lance Ito was fully responsible for the rowdy atmosphere.

"What's interesting to me is the way the circus played out in the courtroom, and I put that blame squarely on the shoulders of Judge Lance Ito," Nancy says. "Because he could have put a stop to all of that. He was starstruck from the get-go, and Johnnie Cochran played him like a fiddle."

Here, Nancy offers her take on the O.J. Simpson trial's unruly atmosphere in her expected tell-it-like-it-is delivery.
