‘When I get charged with two cocaine possessions, I’m going to hire you,’ Ms. Grace has told her real estate lawyer.

Sensationalism buys big condos!!!! Georgian prosecutor-turned-CNN anchoress Nancy Grace, whose prime time show bills itself as “television’s only justice-themed interview/debate show,” has bought a third apartment on a high floor of The Revere condo on East 54th Street.

She paid $925,000, public deeds show. The deal closed in late May, but didn’t show up in city records until last week.

Ms. Grace orates with a whopping, goading TV twang (“Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, it’s all about me,” is how she mocked a defendant last month). So of course she’d have a puffed-up Manhattan spread: This 842-square-foot apartment complements the 622-square-foot condo she bought three years earlier, which complemented a 1,230-square-foot place she bought in 2002.

According to city deeds, her lawyer for this deal was Jason Oshins, a recurring guest on Ms. Grace’s eponymous CNN Headline News program, where he’s billed as a defense attorney. “When I get charged with two cocaine possessions, I’m going to hire you,” she told him last month on the air. “Don’t lie to me, Jason Oshins!” she said earlier.

He wouldn’t comment on this deal: “You know any attorney, for fear of losing one’s license, can’t confirm anything.” But law practice aside, he has a budding career as a TV expert. “Being good-looking and intelligent, I figured I’d be a perfect talking head,” he explained to The Observer. “So that’s how I’ve gotten to know people I know from Court TV and CNN Headline News.”

But is he a defense attorney or a real estate lawyer? He said general practitioners can pick and choose what they do, and lately he’s been picking real estate.

As for Ms. Grace, here’s another reason she might have wanted to increase her East Side spread’s size to 2,694 square feet: She semi-secretly got married to a robustly sized Southerner earlier this year. The couple is expecting twins.

I have been a fan of Nancy's since she was first on Court TV as a trial lawyer,with long blonde hair and beating the daylights out of her opposition, watched her move into TV from practicing law, know of the loss of her finance and am thrilled she is married and delighted she is having children. Couldn't have happened to a better person. She is now, or will soon be, complete. GOOD FOR YOU NANCY - ALL THE BEST! When are the babies due?

HELLO NANCY..I HOPE YOU READ THIS E-MAIL. IF YOU DO WOULD YOU
PLEASE ANSWER THIS???

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIRTH OF THE TWINS. I'M GLAD EVERYTHING
TURNED OUT FOR YOU. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ON TV AGAIN. KEEP ON
THE MEND AND KEEP SAFE.

I WANTED TO AD A COMMENT ON THE COP WHO IS ON YOUR SHOW THIS
WEEK..WHO THEY THINK MURDERED HIS 3RD WIFE AND THE DISAPPEARING OF HIS 4TH. ONE COMMENT THAT WAS MADE ON TV WAS
THERE WERE NOTHING DISPLACED IN THE HOME AND NO SIGN OF A
STRUGGLE. HERE IS MY THOUGHT..HE COULD HAVE PUT A PLASTIC BAG
OVER HER HEAD WHEN SHE WAS NAPPING AND HE LOOKS LIKE A STRONG
MAN WHO COULD HOLD IT TIGHT TO SUFFACATE HER. NO BLOOD WOULD
BE AROUND EITHER. LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS. ALSO PASS THIS
THOUGHT TO THE POLICE OR FBI.

THANKS SO MUCH AND TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND THE SWEET TWO
BABIES....YOURS TRULY, CAROL JEWELL

Is she the "only" woman to ever have a baby or twins??
Her show has become about her........and the twins. me, me, me and how wonderful I am...... as if no other woman had any baby's or any complications. It's been 6 months now and
still talking about her twins, showing pictures and telling
about her complications. Enough already.

Anonymous (not verified) says:

You are right, I too believe she has run her twins and herself into the ground, me, me ,me, me. I am sick of hearing about
her complications. She is NOT the only one that has had any
problems with pregnancy or had twins. Her show has become
about herself, the twins, now showing pic's of her mother & father and her brother & wife. It is only an hour show for god sakes. We are NOT interested. You have run it into the ground.
