CNN talking head Nancy Grace is not one to keep her opinions to herself, but when it comes to having to answer for her words she'd rather not do it on camera, thankyouverymuch.
In 2006, a 21-year-old Florida woman, Melinda Duckett, was interviewed by Nancy about her missing 2-year-old son.
Nancy didn't like the answers Melinda was giving her and accused the woman of being evasive and trying to hide something.
The day after the interview -- hours before it was scheduled to air -- Melinda shot and killed herself.
Her family is suing Grace for wrongful death, saying that the interview and Nancy's "intentional infliction of emotional distress" drove her to take her own life.
Now, Grace -- a former prosecutor herself who contends that guilt was what led Melinda to kill herself -- doesn't want there to be cameras present when she gives her deposition in the case.
One of the Duckett family's attorneys, Kara Skarupo, tells ABCNews.com that if the judge does allow the deposition to be filmed, Grace's lawyers "want us to sign a blood pact that it won't get out."
The judge is expected to make his ruling on Tuesday (Jan. 26).
