LEESBURG -- Lawyers suing CNN and Nancy Grace on behalf of Melinda Duckett's estate will not object to the release of the young mother's mental health records.
The lawyers said the psychiatric records are relevant to the estate's wrongful death claim against the cable giant and Grace, whose interview of Duckett preceded the suicide of the 21-year-old mother of toddler Trenton Duckett in 2006.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, CNN asked a federal judge to force Lifestream Behavioral Center in Leesburg to surrender documents detailing its treatment of Duckett.
The mental health center has refused to honor a defense subpoena.
