| | CJR Daily: Riding a Wave of Contempt |
 | | Grace insisted that Jackson was "sleeping with a 13-year-old boy 365 nights in their underwear," and declared that his settlements with previous accusers suggested his guilt, adding, "Hello?!" Rodriguez responded that the jury didn't have enough evidence to convict -- a determination, incidentally, which was applauded by many observers. |
 | | And while Grace didn't go quite as far as Fox News' Shepard Smith after the verdict -- who, over a shot of Jackson speeding away from the courthouse, angrily thundered, "This is wrong, and you're a freak!" -- she seemed, as the AP reports, uncharacteristically close to tears. |
 | | Grace, who has enjoyed relatively high ratings and sudden stardom as host of her eponymous prime-time show on CNN Headline News, held up on camera yesterday what she called a "crow sandwich" after Jackson was found innocent. |
