Ken Kratz has handled many complex and high-profile cases including homicides, sexual assaults, child abuse cases, and property crimes in his 25-year prosecution career. Widely considered one of the state’s best criminal trial attorneys, Ken dedicated his career to advancing the rights of crime victims, serving on the Attorney General’s Crime Victim’s Council, and as Chairman of Wisconsin’s Crime Victim’s Rights Board from 1997 to 2009. Ken also proudly served as President of the Wisconsin District Attorney’s Association in 1996.

Ken has also received recognition from the Wisconsin District Attorney’s Association, Wisconsin Department of Justice, and Wisconsin Judicial Council.
When her fiancé was murdered just before their wedding day, Nancy Grace abandoned plans to become a Shakespearean literature professor to enter the world of crime and justice; she attended law school instead and graduated Law Review. Grace then spent the next decade in inner-city Atlanta prosecuting violent crimes. She compiled a perfect record of more than 100 felony prosecution victories at trial with no losses. Grace joined Court TV and, for the next ten years, covered major trials after co-hosting Cochran & Grace with famed defense attorney Johnnie Cochran. One of television’s most respected legal analysts, Grace now hosts the top-rated HLN show, Nancy Grace, and serves as a legal expert for ABC’s Nightline, 20⁄20, and Good Morning America. Grace lives in both New York City and Atlanta with her husband and her beloved twins, a boy and a girl.
