After 12 years Nancy Grace has been canceled on HLN. Grace officially signed off, ending her longtime crime investigation program Thursday night.
Grace, 56, featured some of her most outrageous moments on her final show, including her epic coverage of the Casey Anthony trial, before thanking her fans and saying: ‘It’s not goodbye, it’s just good night friend.’

Grace who wanted to be a literature professor when she finished high school, decided to become a prosecutor after her fiancé Keith Griffin, 23, was murdered before their wedding day in 1979. She was 19 at the time. Grace then gave up her dream and switched to law school instead, determined to crack down on violent crime. As a prosecutor in inner-city Atlanta, Georgia, she built up a perfect prosecution record, convicting some 100 felons with no losses. After a chance meeting with the founder of CourtTV, Steven Brill, she began co-hosting a show with Johnnie Cochran, OJ Simpson’s defense attorney. When Cochran left the show, Grace was moved to a solo trial coverage show on Court TV. The Nancy Grace show on HLN, CNN’s sister network, began in February 2005. h/t dailymail
Grace announced her exit from HLN back in June.
