On Monday, we told you about the decision by the "Saturday Early Show" to reach out Larry Seidlin, the oft-criticized judge in the Anna Nicole Smith case. "I have been extremely impressed by your compassion in the Anna Nicole case and I would love to discuss with you the idea of being our judge on a new segment, `Morning Justice,'" wrote senior producer Michael Rosen in a letter obtained by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Now it seems that a "Sunday Morning" profile, airing over the weekend, will reveal that even CNN and Court TV host Nancy Grace – not exactly a darling of legal ethicists – has complaints about Seidlin. "As for the judge who heard the case, Grace joins the chorus of critics finding fault with his conduct," according to a CBSNews.com story. Said Grace: "It is about who is allowed to sit on a bench."
