Nancy Grace ignited a firestorm of criticism by implying that Whitney Houston's death was a homicide. Despite pressure to apologize, the HLN legal pundit has not admitted she was wrong to say that.

"I'd like to know who was around her, who, if anyone gave her drugs, following alcohol and drugs, and who let her slip, or pushed her, underneath that water?" Grace said Tuesday on CNN, HLN's sister network . "Apparently no signs of force or trauma to the body. Who let Whitney Houston go under her water?"
CNN distanced themselves from the comment, with CNN's Don Lemon saying "This is not CNN's reporting. We don't know that to be true." Whoopi Goldberg blasted Grace and said "she should know better." And while being questioned by ABC News legal analyst Dan Abrams on "Good Morning America" on Thursday, she refused to admit it was wrong that she "wildly speculated."

--Nancy Grace to Access Hollywood in Oct. 2011 on Amanda Knox, the American study abroad student who was acquitted of murdering her roommate in Italy.
