The lawsuit points out that Grace has made outrageous and defamatory about other cases and suspects during her broadcasts and notes that she had been reprimanded in court for unethical conduct during her nine years as a prosecutor.

From there, actual and punitive damages will be awarded by the jury based on the trial.

the pain of others. I hope the person wins their suit, unfortunately it won't be Grace who pays, it will be the network's insurance company.
If enough people sued her, eventually the network would drop her because she is costing them too much.
