Black NC legislators bemoan GOP treatment

In a January 8, 2012 article in The News & Observer by John Frank titled “Black legislators blast GOP leadership,” African American legislators, led by North Carolina Democratic state Senator Floyd McKissick, Jr. roundly criticized the treatment of African Americans by the Republican controlled General Assembly. The head of the Legislative Black Caucus, McKissick made his discontent known shortly after the state Senate overrode Governor Bev Perdue’s veto of Republican backed changes in the state’s Racial Justice Act.

McKissick accused Republicans of disempowering black leaders, such as the head of the General Assembly’s Fiscal Research Division, and he chided the party for its disrespectful treatment of African American state employees. Senator McKissick concluded that the Republicans had shown “an overall disinterest and lack of respect for black people in North Carolina.” He then posed the rhetorical question, “When are they going to stop attacking black North Carolinians and focus on job creation and getting this economy moving?”

The answer to that question is simple… they are never going to stop attacking black North Carolinians – at least not as long as they see no reason not to do so. The Legislative Black Caucus has the potential to rein in the GOP’s acts of discrimination and disrespect but it lacks the courage to do anything about it. Republicans are aware of the silence of the black legislators as the criminal justice system tosses minorities into jail at an alarming rate and without probable cause, in many instances. Civil rights organizations such as the state’s NAACP and, to a lesser extent, the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina, have failed to raise any objection to the mistreatment of the state’s justice system when dealing with Crystal Mangum (the Duke Lacrosse victim/accuser), Erick Daniels and Shawn Massey (wrongfully incarcerated for more than seven and twelve years respectively, but denied a pardon), James Arthur Johnson (heroically solved the heinous murder of Wilson teen Brittany Willis, and was rewarded with 39 months in jail and not the advertised $20,000 reward which he earned), Carletta Patrice Alston (held in jail without cause for twelve months before being released), and other innocent African Americans caught up in the swath of the Prison Industrial Complex with its insatiable appetite for minority inmates.

I have personally tried to solicit involvement in these causes of injustice by Senator McKissick, and state Representatives Mickey Michaux and Larry Hall, all of Durham County, but my endeavors have met with no success… and it seems as though the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong is fighting these wars against injustice alone. McKissick, Michaux, and Hall should all at least be actively advocating for their Durham constituents Crystal Mangum and Erick Daniels. But, like the NAACP, these politicians have all remained as silent as dormice.

Injustice against Ms. Mangum is especially egregious and is a prime example of vendetta justice at its worst… payback, if you will, for her role in the Duke Lacrosse case wherein she accused three Duke lacrosse athletes (from families of wealth, power, and privilege) of sexual assault which stemmed from a 2006 beer-guzzling, stripper-ogling party. The 2010 arrest of Mangum on a slew of trumped up charges, including felony first degree arson, was an obvious miscarriage of justice as Crystal Mangum was the victim of physical domestic abuse that February night in 2010. The prosecution by Prosecutor Angela Garcia-Lamarca perversely determined that Crystal’s ex-boyfriend abuser was an innocent victim who needed protection from the person whose face he had repeatedly battered with his fists, Ms. Mangum. McKissick and the Black Caucus remained silent.

Mangum now faces first degree murder charges in the April 13, 2011 death of Reginald Daye despite the fact that the stab wound she inflicted on April 3, 2011, had absolutely nothing to do with the deep coma into which he lapsed on the third postoperative day… and had nothing to do with the Duke University Hospital medical staff electively removing Daye from life support, which was the proximate cause of death. Major discrepancies exist in two autopsy reports on Reginald Daye which has neither sparked the interest of the media nor Black Caucus members. As with the bogus charges of 2010, the Black Caucus remains silent while Crystal Mangum now languishes in jail due to a vindictive and unforgiving criminal justice system.

Erick Daniels, who was released on appeal by Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson while seeking a new trial, was arrested at the age of fourteen and spent more than seven years behind bars before he tasted freedom. Despite his seven years of wrongful incarceration on an armed robbery conviction that hinged solely on the victim’s photo identification based on the shape of his eyebrows in a middle school yearbook, the Governor’s Office of Executive Clemency denied his request for a pardon so that he can be compensated for his many years of unjust imprisonment. I have appealed numerous times to Governor Bev Perdue asking her to reverse the clemency panel’s denial and grant Mr. Daniels a pardon. My attempts to enlist politicians, especially members of the Black Caucus with ties to Durham County, have been fruitless.

It is unreasonable to expect GOP leaders to show respect towards the African American community or African Americans in general if its African American political leaders show no interest in the plight of their constituents themselves… as is evident in these criminal justice cases. As long as Senator McKissick and his fellow Black Caucus members remain silent enablers of a biased criminal justice system, they can expect the Republicans in power to continue to treat African Americans dismissively with disdain.

Black Caucus members shouldn’t just sit in their comfortable plush seats and complain about the GOP’s show of disrespect… they need to do something about it. A good start to positively turn things around in the North Carolina General Assembly with regards to treatment by the Republican leadership would be for Senator McKissick and other Black Caucus members to summon the courage to take a stand against the state’s vendetta prosecution of Crystal Mangum by demanding to know why she is being charged with first degree murder in the death of Reginald Daye.

Sid-ninny, you got it wrong on two counts. Crystal Mangum was a victimizer in the Duke Lacrosse case and Crystal Mangum was a false accuser.

Sid-ninny, a third time you get it wrong. Crystal Mangum falsely accused the Duke Lacrosse players of(inKen-ninny's words) a DNA depositing rape.

Sid-ninny"and had nothing to do with the Duke University Hospital medical staff electively removing Daye from life support, which was the proximate cause of death."

Wrong on a fourth count. Mr. Daye was brain dead, the results of complications of the stab wound inflicted on him by Ms. Mangum.

Sid-ninny, again you ignore the case of Frankie Washington who languished in jail for years before trial even though he was innocent, all because of the way African American Durham DA Tracey Cline handled the case.

You also fail to mention who was arrested and bound over for trial even though(according to the foreman of the jury who found him not guilty) DA African American Tracey Cline had no case against him.

Sid-ninny, you would not have referred to Crystal Mangum as the victim/accuser if you did not believe the Duke Lacrosse players were guilty of raping her.

The Willis family offered the reward, and they refused to award it to Mr. Johnson because they believed he was involved in the crime, because they believed he came forward only because he hoped to collect the reward. It is up to the Willis family, not you, to determine whether or not Mr. Johnson earned said reward.

Mangum was not raped nor assaulted. Mangum lied over and over. Nofong lied and conspired to obstruct true and full disclosure of information that proved none of the lacrosse players had sexual contact with mangum as she repeatedly and falsely claimed. There was no rape
Nifong wanted a job and a pension. The lab director wanted money and publicity. All were willing to sacrifice three men to get what they wanted...money money and money.
The Willis family had every right to refuse to hand out the reward. Johnson knew what happened, withheld evidence, covered up evidence and then spilled his guts in order to get himself off lighter. You disgust me with your whining about the family of a MURDER victim. You are a callous racist vindictive person who sees his world through his own discolored prism. No regard for the Daye family; just wild unsupported accusations about dead man. No regard for the Willis family; just moaning about some punk who covered up then squawked, thinking he could get money. No regard for the Mangum children; just endless nonsense about the pole vaulting Mangum being a good mother . (in between run ins with the law that the evil white oppressor causes).
It's a pathetic self inflating attempt to get attention, Sid and it does not generate any reaction except pity for your delusional and, frankly, boring dribble.

Hey, Sid-ninny:

With regard to your statements about Dr. Nichols and the autopsy, you are admitting knowledge of a conspiracy to deprive Ms. Mangum of her civil rights, fabricating the findings of an autopsy to insure what you would call a wrongful conviction. I hope the authorities are not reading your blog.

If you really cared about Crystal and about Dr. Nichols, why would you not go to the Feds with evidence of this conspiracy?

Except that she stabbed him. Which under our felony murder rule makes her culpable for his death.

"... and had nothing to do with the Duke University Hospital medical staff electively removing Daye from life support, which was the proximate cause of death."

You throw around legal terms, "proximate cause" like you know their meaning. In fact, Mangum's stabbing is the proximate cause of Daye's death. Medical decisions, even the refusal of treatment are not intervening causes. I have cited this case law to you how many times before? State v. Welch, 135 N.C. App. 499 ___ S.E.2d ___, (1999),

Sid further wrote: "Erick Daniels, who was released on appeal by Superior Court Judge Orlando Hudson while seeking a new trial,...." No. Judge Hudson vacated the conviction (in effect granting a new trial) and then conducted a probable cause hearing. At that probable cause hearing, Judge Hudson found the state lacked probable cause to charge Daniels and then dismissed the charges. Your demands for justice would be a lot more persuasive if you correctly presented the facts.

I am not Walt. I say, first, this would be libel, not slander, because the accusations were made in print.

I would like to see Dr. Nichols sue for libel. Sid-ninny would not be able to deny he made the allegations. They are all here on his blog.

The issue of libel came up in relation to Sid-ninny's claims about Reginald Daye's record. Sid-ninny correctly pointed out the defense to libel is the truth.

Sid-ninny, to defend himself, would have to prove the carpet bagger jihad exists, and that it pressured Dr. Nichols to fabricate the autopsy results.

How Sid-ninny would do that would show the world once and for all he is a deluded megalomaniac.

The bottom line is that the family and friends of Brittany Willis do not want to pay out the $20,000 period. James Arthur Johnson went to the police at the insistence of his father. Furthermore, the purpose of a reward is to encourage people to come forward.

The idea that Johnson and the confessed killer jointly committed the gruesome crimes of kidnapping, rape, and murder, and then that Johnson would turn in his "accomplice" in order to collect reward money is ridiculous.

Walt-in-Durham

Hey, Walt. Thanks for the edification, however, the bottom line is that Erick Daniels was wrongly incarcerated for more than seven years and should receive compensation.

Regarding the cause of death, the stab wound to the torso and colon was repaired and was not a life threatening injury. It was not related to the deep coma, and it was the deep coma which prompted the Duke University hospital medical staff to take Daye off life support... not complications of the stab wound.

It is totally irrelevant as to whether one was an autopsy report and the other an investigative report... the findings should be similar. Why did the report of the 13th only mention the lesion to the colon and not the one to the diaphragm, lung, and stomach?

Wouldn't it be great if Sid got subpoenaed by the Feds to testify about this conspiracy.

Wouldn't it be greater if Sid refused to testify and were held in contempt.

What would be greatest of all is that Sid not only were found in contempt but that he were convicted of obstruction of justice.

Does anyone think Sid-ninny would bail on this so called carpetbagger jihad in order to avoid all of the above.

Anonymous said...

So. Sid, as I understand the legal definition of proximate cause and its applicability here, Mangum stabbed Mr. Daye and that stabbing set into motion a sequence of events that eventually terminated with his death. I believe Walt and others have pointed out cases to you, over and over, to demonstrate that the proximate cause, in the circumstance of Mr. Daye's death, was, in fact, the stabbing that occured. Not being an attorney (neither are you, by the way), my simplistic mind tells me that Mr. Daye is dead because Mangum stabbed him. Period. Your theory is that Mr. Daye is dead because Duke doctors killed him. As I have noted before, I have intimate personal knowledge of a situation where a violent act against a beloved friend caused her death. She didn't die immeidately....and she was, in fact, removed from life support. The man who KILLED her is in prison for MURDER, not the doctors who removed her from life support.
So, silly dumb me.....I will have to go with Walt and case law here....and tell you that, IMHO, your fantasy theory that Mangum had nothing to do with Daye's death is bogus. We will see what happens in court.

The media stated that Daye was stabbed with a "kitchen knife" of which a paring knife qualifies. The media is purposely ambiguous in order to mislead the masses into believing that all of the damage alleged in the bogus report of April 14th was inflicted by a butcher knife.

Oh, for crying out loud, Sid.....Let me tell you something....meat cleavers are also kitchen kives, as are the butcher knives at my house which are 8,10, and 12 inch blades and sharp as hell. I also have a meat bone sawing knife that has a 12 inch blade that is lethal. What kind of bull crap are you trying to pull? The truth is that WE DO NOT KNOW what kind of knife was used, how long the blade was, etc. Oh, I forgot.....all the rest of us do not know. You do, of course, because of your secret sources who were actually there in the kitchen!!!! Excuseeeeeeee me.

Sid-ninny, you are the one trying to mislead the public. You admit you have no knowledge about the size of the weapon which inflicted the wound. I have handled kitchen knives which are long enough to inflict the damage described in the autopsy report.

Of course, I expect you will now claim that you got this information from your reliable anonymous sources. If so, I say this last post indicates no such sources exist.

As does other knives, yet you continually state "paring knife" -- singling out (purposely) the smallest of what could be considered a "kitchen knife". The truth is, you do not know either the type of knife or the length of the knife that was used to stab Mr. Daye.

Using the good doctor's logic, I guess we would have to assume that if the knife were described as a "hunting knife" , it would automatically have to be a Swiss army pocket pal micro........god forbid it would be an 18" KaBar!

Oh, for crying out loud, Sid.....Let me tell you something....meat cleavers are also kitchen kives, as are the butcher knives at my house which are 8,10, and 12 inch blades and sharp as hell. I also have a meat bone sawing knife that has a 12 inch blade that is lethal. What kind of bull crap are you trying to pull? The truth is that WE DO NOT KNOW what kind of knife was used, how long the blade was, etc. Oh, I forgot.....all the rest of us do not know. You do, of course, because of your secret sources who were actually there in the kitchen!!!! Excuseeeeeeee me.

My point exactly. The biased media has been purposely ambiguous about the specific type of "kitchen knife" used in the stabbing. An objective report would've stated that Daye was stabbed with a "paring knife." You can bet that if a butcher knife would've been used, the media would've shouted it from the highest hills.

Addendum to last reply:
A meat cleaver is a cleaver, not a knife. With your loose definitions, you'll soon be calling a rip saw a knife, too.

Sid-ninny: "Regarding the cause of death, the stab wound to the torso and colon was repaired and was not a life threatening injury."

Sid-ninny, you are in no position to make such a statement unless you were there observing the surgery. Were you there? Or is this more information from your anonymous reliable sources?

I use the oft dismissed principle of common sense in stating that the knife wound to Reginald Daye, in which the only lesion was to the splenic flexure of the colon, was not a life threatening injury when put in context of the circumstances in which the ambulance arrived in a timely fashion and Daye underwent emergency surgery at a trauma center. The postoperative reports even stated that he was expected to make a full recovery... and he should have. If a stab wound such as the one Daye received would result in death it would most likely be due to blood loss, or possibly sepsis in the long term, but definitely not from irreversible brain damage. That was due to malpractice or a hospital homicide, and not a stab wound... and the comatose state was the reason for Daye to be removed from life support and not the stab wound.

May your bounty be filled with enlightenment.

But, again, since your sources were there in the apartment when Mr. Daye was stabbed....why worry about it? Because your sources are all gonna show up at Mangum's trial and save her day, anyway!

A lot of other instruments with longer blades qualify as kitchen knives.

Sid-ninny, you are trying to distort the story, not Doctor Nichols. You are trying to say Crystal stabbed him with a short bladed knife, which obviously not what happened. That is obvious to anyone except, maybe a deluded megalomaniacal ninny.

A stab wound to that area can result in significant blood loss. A stab wound to the left colon can result in intra abdominal infection and Generalized sepsis. Generalized sepsis can cause circulatory collapse and brain death.I have seen it happen. Obviously you have not.

"Hey, Walt. Thanks for the edification, however, the bottom line is that Erick Daniels was wrongly incarcerated for more than seven years and should receive compensation.

No disagreement that Eric Daniels was wrongly incarcerated. (By Freda Black and Tracey Cline, by the way.) The problem for your quest is Judge Hudson vacated the conviction and found the charges lacked probable cause. Sound familiar? Unless Daniels charges are reinstated there really is no way under the law as it exists to give him compensation. The only avenues I see open to him are to sue the state for wrongful prosecution. But, NC claims sovereign immunity for that. Or, get a private bill through the legislature such as the one that is working its way through now for the Eugenics fiasco.

"Regarding the cause of death, the stab wound to the torso and colon was repaired and was not a life threatening injury. It was not related to the deep coma, and it was the deep coma which prompted the Duke University hospital medical staff to take Daye off life support... not complications of the stab wound."

Again, not relevant to our law. Once she set the situation in motion, she is stuck with the result. Even if the victim had refused life saving medical treatment. I have cited the law to you too many times Sid. State v. Welch, 135 N.C. App. 499 ___ S.E.2d ___, (1999).

Lance the intern wrote: "As does other knives, yet you continually state "paring knife" -- singling out (purposely) the smallest of what could be considered a "kitchen knife"."

True that. But, it doesn't really matter. Once Crystal stabbed Daye, setting in motion his course of medical treatment, only an intervening and completely different cause of death can absolve her of culpability. Thus, a staph infection, medical malpractice, medical error that does not rise to the level of malpractice or even the decision to refuse life saving medical treatment is not an intervening cause.

Nifong/Sid is obviously preparing for his next turn as a criminal defense lawyer if he gets his law license restored. A career which will surely be as much a failure as his career as a prosecutor.

Sid-ninny, Digest this:

You say the stab wound was to the left seventh intercostal space. You did say the stab wound resulted in a wound to the left colon, the splenic flexure.

You say the weapon which inflicted the wound was a paring knife, according to the media.

It should have been obvious to you that a paring knife would not be log enough to inflict such a colon wound from the seventh intercostal space. So why did you say it was a paring knife. That a paring knife qualifies as a kitchen knife is not enough to assume the weapon was a paring knife.

So who is fabricating things, you or Doctor Nichols?

North Carolina has a very broad definition of libel per se. This term refers to statements so egregious that they will always be considered defamatory and are assumed to harm the plaintiff's reputation, without further need to prove that harm. In North Carolina, a statement that does any of the following things amounts to libel per se:

-charges that a person has committed an infamous crime;
-charges a person with having an infectious disease;
-tends to impeach a person in that person's trade or profession; or
-otherwise tends to subject one to ridicule, contempt, or disgrace.

This last category of libel per se is quite broad and is not recognized by most other states. Otherwise, North Carolina does adhere more closely to the common law of libel in requiring actual damages.

However, in North Carolina, public officials, all-purpose public figures, and limited-purpose public figures must prove that the defendant acted with actual malice. For example, knowing that the statements were false or recklessly disregarding their falsity.

Dr. Nichols is a public figure so he has to prove Sid was reckless rather than just negligent with his comments. Given how goofy Sid's comments can be with regard to medical/legal issues, I'm not sure you can call them reckless. He definitely does not know what he is talking about.

I find it ironic that the NAACP in NC and the ACLU have come out publicly on the side of equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians....while the black evangelical christian ministers and their followers (as in the J4N Victoria Peterson) continue to use preach about "God's law" and "pervision". Sid, who describes Peterson as "courageous" rants because the ACLU won't get its shorts in a knot and go after Duke on his behalf. Here we have CaptainFongJustice touting the bigoted racist Peterson for her courage, and whining about the ACLU......while he does his "jesus" speech and says the NAACP and the ACLU ought to get on the Mangum train. Sid is having difficulty figuring out who the bad guys are these days........there are just so darn many evil people in the heehaw club.

No physician, retired or actively practicing, would behave in such an unprofessional unethical manner as to make the statements he has made....unless there was some kind of impairment going on.

You can tell when Nifong is writing, or telling Sid what to write. The logic is missing, the conspiracy theories take hold and the law is mangled or ignored. When Sid is working on his own, it's usually more clear and there is a sense of logical order. Also, when he is working without Nifong's assistance, Sid will clearly call for a just result.

For example, in the Daye case, the real Sid would be challenging the state on the Murder I

Agree with you, Walt. I can't imagine a physician, retired or active, who would make the statements Sid has made about Nichols....with nothing more than his infamous "sources" as his so-called proof. It just does not add up.
We all agree, I think, that the justice system, particularly in Durham, is tragically flawed and (from my friends around the country) the laughingstock of many legal forums and discussion groups.
But, Sid's refual to admit to the clear truth about Cline while he lauds the courage of people like Peterson and clings to a delusion about Nifong.....is indeed bizarre.

I have no clue about his relationship to Nifong...other than maybe having Fong's 8x10glossy under his pillow at night.

Taken into context, I do not believe that a stab wound to the left torso with a paring knife is life-threatening if it only damaged the colon, it was treated in a timely manner with a victim who was conscious and not in shock, and who is taken to a trauma center like Duke University Hospital.

There are always exceptions with some stab wounds not being treated expeditiously, or if the victim is elderly or in general poor health. Also, the quality of surgeons and nursing staff, and their experience in traumatic situations can determine whether or not the outcome is favorable. Everything considered, especially after the postoperative pronouncement that Daye was expected to make a full recovery, Daye should have survived the knife wound.

Sid-ninny, your take on it is that a paring knife qualifies as a kitchen knife. You have no first hand knowledge of what happened to Reginald Daye.

As a retired Surgeon, who has had a bit of experience in both Chest Surgery and Abdominal Surgery, I say it is impossible to lacerate the splenic flexure by stabbing a man in the left 7th Costal interspace with a paring knife.
