Restatement of purpose

Every now and again it seems as though the readers and commenters of this blog site get derailed about the purpose of the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong and its members. Once again, let me put the train back on track to avoid the discourse of distractions and the obstacles of obfuscation… so we can locomotion along the rails to enlightenment.

As we near our four anniversary this coming June, our mission statement and resolve has been steady, uncompromising, and one which follows the light of truth. The fundamental beliefs upon which this organization was founded have been and remain based upon the following principles: (1) former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong was selectively and unjustly persecuted and disbarred by the North Carolina State Bar because of his handing of the Duke Lacrosse case; (2) Mr. Nifong handled the Duke Lacrosse case well within the acceptable standards of a state prosecutor; (3) that Mr. Nifong is the only prosecutor to be disbarred due to professional misconduct is an outrage, especially when considering prosecutors Tom Ford (Gregory Taylor and Carletta Alston cases), Bill Wolfe (James Arthur Johnson case), Michael D. Parker (Floyd Brown case), and David Hoke (Alan Gell case), just to name a few. Our group’s focus remains committed to encouraging the NC State Bar to unilaterally and unconditionally reinstate Mr. Nifong’s license to practice law in the state without restrictions. Although Mr. Nifong has expressed that he never intends to practice law again, it is the contention that his license to practice law was unjustly taken by the Bar, and that it needs to man up and do the right thing by reinstating it.

Members of the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong, I believe, are some of the most courageous people in the state, because they lend their names and their faces to a righteous cause that is widely unpopular with the public because of contamination of the news that is broadcast and published by biased media-types… the big wigs in the upper echelons who determine what stories to follow, which stories to ignore, and what spin to give. Instead of remaining silent in the face of blatant anti-Nifong injustice, like most politicians, media outlets, and many civil rights organizations, members of the Committee speak loudly by their demonstration of courage. There are many ways to put it, but I like the saying attributed to President Abraham Lincoln who stated: “To sin by silence makes cowards of men.” One thing is certain… the members of our group, currently one shy of two dozen, are not cowards.

The Committee is, and always has been an inclusive organization, welcoming brave individuals who coalesce around the principles recited above with respect to former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong. No one has been turned down for membership, and dues and/or investment of time or money is not required. All that is required is the heart to seek justice for Mike Nifong, which at its most primal form would be the reinstatement of his law license. Potential members are not vetted or required to provide personal information about themselves, their political leanings, or their ideologies on other topics. Likewise, our group is extremely tolerant of others and we do not discriminate with respect to granting membership.

It is not expected, or even desired that everyone who joins the group hold the same beliefs or opinions on issues other than Mike Nifong’s mistreatment by the state and the media. Gay and lesbians, people of all races and colors, worshippers of all religions as well as atheists, Democrats and even Republicans are all invited to join.

Some commenters are quick to cast some Committee members as homophobes or racists, but I find that these labels are often made without substance. There are people who might not agree with same-sex relationships or who might have a problem with gay and lesbians getting married, but that, at least to my way of thinking, does not categorize them as being homophobes. Personally, I have no problem whatever with gay and lesbian relationships. I have no problem with civil union between couples of the same sex and I do not object to the term “marriage” being used to define such relationships. To my mind marriage is an institution in which two individuals are fully and lovingly committed to one another regardless of their sexes. Not only that, but I believe that the liberal tolerance towards gays and lesbians is growing and gaining greater acceptance.

Hopefully this blog will put issues about homophobia and racism to rest, and the future blogs can be devoted to issues of criminal justice… such as the vendetta prosecutions of Crystal Mangum, the racist pardon policy that the governor’s office has used to deny pardons to Erick Daniels and Shawn Massey, the anti-Nifong discrimination by Duke University against me, and other important issues facing Tar Heelians who believe in the principle of “equal justice for all” instead of those who follow the tenet of “selective justice based on Class and Color.”

Sideny, you are a deluded megalomaniac who is conducting a vendetta against innocent men because those innocent men were not falsely convicted of a bogus rape charge.

Two words for buddy. Bull shit. You and your racist homophobic friends are a disgrace to the very principles you tout. If you had a spine, you would tell peterson and her bigoted friends to take their venom elsewhere, like maybe the westboro baptist church crowd. Your failure to do so is a clear indication of your true colors. The smell of hate is all over you.

And I say that gays and lesbians should not have "marriage" as you say in quotes. They should have MARRIAGE as anyone else is allowed to have without the changing of the term to be a term falsely considered as just as good as in civil unions --unless everyone will now be given a civil union and that term is applied equally. Finally if you do not believe in equality and that inequity is directed at gays and lesbians you ARE a homophobe. And if you support those who are homophobes you support their views and so you are a homophobe as well. It is always unfortunate that those who say they fight for justice are blind to ways that they ignore their own oppressive behaviors. You wasted a blog with this drivel that only serves to discredit your weak attempt at a point. So, yes why not just get back to your business as usual -- ignorance-- not enlightenment. What a joke you are.

In 2003, she [Victoria Peterson] testified before the County Commissioners to urge them not to extend partnership benefits because: "Many of them are infected with diseases, and their lifestyles are very, very dangerous," Peterson told the board.

Right kennnnnnnny......and i am personal friends with margaret thatcher even though i have never been to england. You and sid and your imaginary friends are a riot. Personally i wouldnt be too proud of telling anybody in durham ( who has a brain and a modicum of decency) that i was all chummy with sister. She is not my idea of somebody i would want anywhere near my kids.......just me,of course, but i just dont dig the pole vaulting drug using motel visiting boyfriend brawling fire setting stabbing thing......oh yeah, and the lying thing isnt too cool either.

This is an amazing statement...let's NOT discuss those silly unimportant issues that face Tar Heelians...like that old homophobic thing that Sid can't hide from.....it's ALL OVER YOU, Sid. As if there were "equal justice for all (LGBT people)"....as if you weren't so bigoted that you have to put quotation marks around the word MARRIAGE", because you can't stomach the idea that the word would be used JUST THE SAME for all of us. You will NOT convince anybody on this flop (except Kenny, Crystal's pal, that you are anything but the racist homophobic bigot that you are.....unless and until you completely disassociate yourself from the drivel that Victoria Peterson and her ilk spew. Perhaps you should ask yourself just why you think it is OK for Peterson say say, in public, that all gay people are disease ridden and carrier of disease. I guess it's OK for me to say all men of color are disease ridden and prone to acts of sexual violence against women. Either ONE of these comments is stupid, bigoted, and utterly false! But, YOU, Sid, not only allow Peterson's photo to be on your site, you actually describe her as courageous. Some courage.....WWJD to YOU, Sid.

A real mental giant, that one. Or perhaps it's Jack Wagstaff, the durham goofball who spent some time in the pokey for contempt behavior during Mangum's last run-in with the law. Or, maybe you mean the wonderful Linwood Wilson, all-round nice guy, deacon, and habitual liar who physically abused his former wife. Maybe Ms. Cline will have no problem with ethics and decide to invite Sister over for some conscious reprobate mind discussion about Judge Hudson.

The NC State Bar does not simply "reinstate" lawyers that have had their license revoked. The LAWYER must petition to have his restored (after waiting 5 years).
So...if Nifong's not going to petition, it ain't going to happen.
You'd think that an organization committed to "persuading the State Bar to....reinstate Mr. Nifong's license..." would be aware of this.

Interesting similarities between Jeffs and Harr, too.....including a hardcore following of sheep, uh, faithfuls.

Let me put it this way... I believe that gays and lesbians deserve the same rights as heterosexuals in a committed relationship regardless of what term is used and whether or not there are quotation marks. I cannot control what other people think, and just because people believe as I do about the mistreatment of Mike Nifong does not signify that I agree with all of their beliefs... or that I even know what they believe on other topics. So, no, I would not say that I am a homophobe. Your definition is far too expansive.

The statement attributed to Ms. Peterson is not one with which I agree, but our Constitution allows us each to have our own beliefs and opinions. I am sure that she does not believe that she does not share my opinions about gays and lesbians, but the "Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong" is not about issues of sexual preference.

Hey, Walt. As far as I'm concerned, the disciplinary hearing against Mike Nifong at which he was disbarred was nothing more than a kangaroo court. The prosecution against Nifong by the State Bar was as flawed and leaky as is the murder charge against Crystal Mangum for Reginald Daye's death... both bogus vendettas.

Mike Nifong didn't deserve to be disbarred, but Prosecutor Tom Ford definitely does.

THIS is why the comments will continue about your racism and your support of homophobic people like Peterson. You, yourself, best take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself whether YOU would be content to be in a civil union or a "marriage" and be "tolerated". give me a break!

That was never a defense theory. That was from someone other than a defense attorney quoting Crystal saying the rich white boys would take care of her.

But you highlight something interesting about Ms. Mangum. She claims she was raped. She has never filed a civil suit. If she could make a case there would have been many contingency fee hungry attorneys heading for her door looking to represent her.

At least one, Willy Gary, did contact her then beat a hasty retreat.

Many of her former supporters, like Nancy Grace, Wendy Murphy, the New Black Panthers have distanced themselves from her.

Why?

Anonymous said...

Kenny, one final word for now. I suspect you are getting your information from Crystal's memoir.

If so, that so called source lacks credibility. Like Mark Gottlieb's straight from memory account of the case, that memoir was produced after it became obvious Crystal had lied about being raped.

Anonymous said...

Kenhyderal: "The fact stipulated to was that Crystal was incapacitated shortly after consuming a drink given to her...".

You are referring to the allegation that she was given a date rape drug.

I point out, the defense attorneys always maintained that their clients were innocent. The defense attorneys would never have stipulated to as fact that Crystal was given a date rape drug.

Anonymous said...

Ken, you also fail to remember that Mangum admitted she had been drinking before she arrived at the party. And her dancin partner also stated that both of them consumed several drinks at the party.
Are you now saying that Mangum was drugged and raped? is that it? if so, provide us with specific EVIDENCE of such drugging and rape to support your allegations.

You folks who live in Durham, who happen to be white, it's ALL YOUR FAULT! wow, who knew?????!!!

As has been noted by another poster, if Nifong does not apply for reinstatement of his license, there will be no review. So, who exactly is going to be his surrogate and apply, on his behalf? You? Do you think this strategy will fly? I know you consider yourself Captain SuperJustice....
Even Nifong has enough sense to know and ADMIT that he lied.

Some time ago, a young girl named Brittainy Willis was raped and murdered. Her family offered a reward for information which would solve the crime. A man named James Arthur Johnson, claimed the reward. Mr. Johnson had been arrested and charged in the crime. The Willis family refused to pay him because they believed he had been involved in the crime.

Sideny began a crusade to have the Willis family pay Mr. Johnson the reward. During that campaign, some issue arose concerning Mrs. Rae Evans, Mother of falsely accused Lacrosse player David Evans. Sideny offered to pay money to anyone who could prove something to his satisfaction about Mrs. Evans.

However he attached a condition - the Willis family first had to pay Mr. Johnson. Sideny was aware that the Willis family had already refused to pay Mr. Johnson. So that condition would never be met and Sideny would never pay off.

So, Sideny knows the state bar will not just unilaterally restore Mr. Nifong's license. I say he uses that issue as an excuse to carry on his vendetta against the innocent, falsely accused Lacrosse players.

Right. Exactly, poster. The real truth of this J4N gibberish is that it has essentially nothing to do with Nifong and everything to do with Sid Harr and his own little world. Sad.

"Hey, Walt. As far as I'm concerned, the disciplinary hearing against Mike Nifong at which he was disbarred was nothing more than a kangaroo court."

There's where you go off the tracks Sid. Nifong's bar hearing was not a kangaroo court. Indeed, the DHC hearing protected Nifong's rights in ways that he tried to deny to the suspects in the Lacrosse case. The DHC heard the evidence in open. All the witnesses, and there were many, testified in open court and were available for cross examination by Nifong. Nifong was present and able to assist his defense counsel. (Actually, Nifong mostly hindered his defense with his utter ignorance of the law, but that's his problem, not the DHC's.)

The evidence produced by the State Bar at the DHC hearing was uncontroverted. Further, the evidence proved Nifong's violations beyond any reasonable doubt. That is what is called a full and fair hearing.

Unfortunately, the DHC has not acted against some others. But, two wrongs don't make it right.

Sideny: "I do not have a vendetta against the Duke Lacrosse defendants... I never have. Why should I? Seligmann, Finnerty, and Evans never did anything to me."

So why do you deny they are innocent, why do you refer to Crystal Mangum(who falsely accused them of rape) a victim, why do you accuse Mrs. Rae Evans of initiating a jihad against Mr. Nifomg, why do you carp about Mr. Cooper expresing his belief that the three Lacrosse defendants are innocent?

I do not know whether the Duke Lacrosse defendants are innocent or guilty of sexually assaulting Crystal Mangum. But they are not legally "innocent" because Attorney General Roy Cooper said they are (which he did under the duress of Joe Cheshire's Brad Bannon). Cooper is entitled to his beliefs and opinions, but he was irresponsible in making the "innocent" promulgation, as he is of the executive and not judicial branch of government.

Regarding Rae Evans, she publicly stated on "60 Minutes" that she hoped Mr. Nifong would pay, every day, for the rest of his life... Very vindictive statement from Ms. Evans which launched the Carpetbagger Jihad against Mr. Nifong.

By that logic, as a result of the hung jury and the prosecutor's decision not to retry the case, Crystal Mangum is not innocent of first degree felony arson.

Would you agree, Sid? If not, why not?

Anonymous @ 5:45 AM said: The defense attorneys would never have stipulated to as fact that Crystal was given a date rape drug" ...... Of course not. What is not in dispute,since it's found in statements of accused Evans, alleged victim Crystal Mangum and witness Kim Roberts was that upon her arrival Crystal was given a drink by player Flannery. Her rapid incapacitation soon after was witnessed by all present. My theory was expressed in a post here on January 5th in response to an Anonymous poster who suggested she arrived impaired. I'll repost that here. Anonymous @5:58 AM said ". According to accounts, when she arrived, she was so impaired she could not perform"...... Not according to her fill-in driver Brian Taylor in his signed statement to Detective Himan or to 610N neighbor Jason Bissey who saw her arriving. Soon after the girls, were given a drink by the players, one that Roberts/Pittman set aside without consuming Crystal showed signs of impairment. The flawed police investigation failed to discover a source for her impairment. The matron at the substance abuse centre said she had no signs of alcohol. By the time she reached DUMC she showed no signs of impairment, whatsoever. Her 5 drug screen was clear (no cocaine,heroin,cannibis,methamphetamine or ghb) The much later, out of state, hair ananysis for the most common date rape drug rohypnol was also negative. The natural history of this rapid onset and short recovery seems indicitive of a substance like chloral hydrate that was not tested for. If the players were dissatisfied with the performance or it's length their only recourse was civil not to rob Crystal. It has not been determine what the cause of her sudden impairment was and one possibility might be that she was administered a substance that impaired her.

Sideny: "But they are not legally "innocent" because Attorney General Roy Cooper said they are (which he did under the duress of Joe Cheshire's Brad Bannon)."

If they are not legally innocent then what are they? AG Cooper said they were innocent because he and his office reviewed all the evidence and found that no crime had happened. You have admitted you are unfamiliar with the evidence in the case. This duress of Joe Cheshire's Brad Bannon is a figment of your deluded megalomaniacal imagination. You would never be publishing things about them not being found legally innocent if you did not believe them guilty. And you would not have been calling Crystal Mangum a victim if you did not have an opinion on the guilt or innocence of the Lacrosse players.

As has been pointed out to you on previous occasions, Mrs. Rae Evans did not make her statement to 60 Minutes until AFTER the outrage against Mr. Nifong's misconduct had become apparent.

Why do you continue to deny the truth.

Ken's full of bullshit. CGM admitted to taking flexeril nd drinking prior to the events at the lacrosse party. She also had access to a number of antidepressants. Face it- CGM lied about being raped because of the events after she'd already left the party to keep from going to the drunk tank.

Crystal was under treatment for a chronic back problem for which she was prescribed Flexeril, a muscle relaxant. She was in the habit of taking one prior to doing the acrobatics involved in her routine. She had corrctive surgery that solved this problem in 2010. This medicine had never given her any problems before even combined with moderate alcohol consumption. In my opinion it could not have caused the impairment that was witnessed

Crystal did not complete her part of the contract, according to David Evans' statement which you have cited. Therefore, it is questionable whether or not the money in question was hers, that she earned it.

The proper civil solution would have been for Crystal to sue for the money(which would have revealed she had breached the contract). Instead she falsely accused the Lacrosse team of raping her.

What David Evans said was that Crystal was impaired at the time she arrived. He does not say that anyone gave Crystal a drink. He says he prepared a drink for Kim Roberts/Pittman before Crystal arrived.

You know, Kenny, Crystal's statement is on line: (http://hackedbannedandlockeddown.yuku.com/forums/17/Case-Documents#.TyGfEEq5Z95

Crystal states that Dan Flannery asked her if she wanted a drink, she replied yes, and he got her one. However, she admits to having two beers at Brian Taylor's house before leaving for the Lacrosse party.

She also alleges three Lacrosse player were with her in the bathroom at the same time(which bathroom has been described as too small to accommodate 4 adults at once.

She states that three members of the Lacrosse team assaulted her, penetrated her, and ejaculated. It was later documented in three places in the medical record that they did not use condoms.

The forensic exam pf the rape kit showed no evidence of blood, saliva or semen. The only DNA recovered from her person did not come from any Lacrosse player.

If the rape had happened as described, such evidence, including DNA from the Lacrosse Players, would have been found.

Ergo, there was no evidence of rape.

From what I have found out, Chloral Hydrate has been used as a Date Rape drug.......... Although Chloral Hydrate has long been used to incapacitate victims it has been difficult to detect. Here is a summary of a recent (1-5-12) application for a patent. Described herein is the first known immunoassay that indirectly confirms the presence or use of chloral hydrate. Because of the rapid metabolism of chloral hydrate, the inventors developed using novel immunogens and a novel antibody, a surrogate immunoassay for its detection and quantification which targets the metabolite TCG. The antibody of the invention is surprisingly specific for TCG. The use of a TCG-specific antibody in an immunoassay format overcomes resource and practical limitations associated with previously described analytical methods used to detect chloral hydrate and its metabolites, enabling its application in diverse areas such as DFR,(Drug Facilitated Rape) water-testing and environmental toxicology.

Hey Kenny:

Instead of trying to create reasonable doubt about the innocence of the Lacrosse players, why don't you try to prove beyond a reasonable doubt they were guilty.

The prosecutor's obligation, as you have stated, is to prove guilt beyond any reasonable doubt.

Had Ms. Mangum filed a civil suit, she would not have that obligation. The minimum standard she wold have to meet is preponderance of the evidence. Whomever she sued would have had to testify. In a civil case she would have her day in court. Crystal has not sued.

When was a blood alcohol drawn? If you remember anything about the discussion about Ronald Daye, alcohol is metabolized very rapidly.

If the matron at the access center did not think Crystal was intoxicated, would she have drawn a blood alcohol.

If a blood alcohol was drawn on the morning of 15 March 2006(when Crystal was seen at DUMC, it would not have reflected the level of alcohol in Crystal's blood at the time of the party.

No you're not.

You're engaging in speculation and trying to pass off innuendo as evidence.

Yes, I believe someone gave Mangum a drink. Yes, I believe she spilled her drink and drank some of Kim's. Yes, I believe she grew more intoxicated over time.

Be honest. Two 22 ounce Ice House beers is close to four normal beers. She may have understated even that. With another drink and flexeril, she could very easily have been intoxicated.

Your comment that she had never had a negative reaction is not compelling. Please explain the episode where she passed out at the Platinum Club and it took four people to carry her out to the parking lot. Please explain the episode with Jarriel Johnson where she got out of the car and walked down Creedmoor until he finally got her to get back in. Please explain why there were no injured parties when there were damages to both the taxi she stole and the police cruiser. Please explain why her mother claimed she had a nervous breakdown a couple of years earlier.

Please provide facts and independent sources. Innuendo is not helpful.

Another completely implausible scenario from Kenny. If there was no evidence of the crime with which the Lacrosse players were charges, then other crimes must have happened for which there was no evidence.

The charges of sexual assaul and kidnapping were dismissed, because there was no evidence they ever happened.

The charge of theft was never filed. That all revolved around "Crystal's" money. It could have been disputed whether or not the money in question was Crystal's money.

As to administration of a noxious substance, even Kenny admits there was no evidence of that.

To my last post let's add, Kenny thinks that a campaign was initiated to discredit and vilify Ms. Mangum because no one was ever charged with or convicted of these crimes for which there was no evidence.

You are channeling Sid-ninny.

Sid has been asked multiple times why there was no evidence of the crime which Crystal described, why there was no evidence incriminating any of the accused, and Sid-ninny replies that the crime could have happened without leaving evidence.

Document your source which confirms your allegation that non-lacrosse players, who were not required to give samples for DNA testing were there.

Dan Flannery's statement is accessible at http://hackedbannedandlockeddown.yuku.com/topic/839#.TyLteyO5Z94:

"When the black girl arrived, she was dropped off by a male and was suspected to be high and drunk. She could hardly speak and her words were slurred and at times incomprehensible."

Mind you, this statement was made freely and before the case became a conyroversy.

So now you are waffling and saying that members of the Lacrosse team did rape Crystal Mangum. Why are you so interested in non Lacrosse players who were not DNA tested?

So explain why there was no evidence which incriminated any Lacrosse player in said alleged rape? Why was it that the only male DNA recovered from the rape kit and from Crystal's person matched males other than the Lacrosse players?

Actually, the Lacrosse players have all come forward with what they know, that no crime ever happened.

Ken-ninny-Hyderal: "You're hanging your hat on this rather weak, straw-man, arguement, that there exists a dispute over whether Crystal arrived in an impaired condition."

Kenny, it was your contention that the statements of David Evans, Crystal Mangum and Kim Roberts/Pittman established as fact that Crystal became impaired after taking a drink at the Lacrosse party. That was simply not so.David Evans statement, in particular, said Crystal was already impaired when she arrived. Dan Flannery's statement was that Crystal was impaired at the time.

"...was Crystal not given a drink when she arrived. The drink in question is referred to by, former, defendant Evans, alleged victim Crystal and also by independent witness Roberts."

The drink in question was not referred to by David Evans. He referred only to a drink he fixed for Kim Roberts/Pittman. Crystal's statement was that while they were in the bathroom preparing, someone asked if they wanted drinks and they replied yes. Crystal does not say she drank it.

From Kim Roberts Police statement to the police given between 2:15 PM AND 4 PM ON MARCH 22, 2006: "We conversed about our plan for the dance. There was a knock on the door and we were handed two drinks of equal amounts. We did sip the drinks, but Precious cup fell into the sink." In other words, Crystal did not drink very much at the party.

It is by no means established as fact that Crystal became impaired after she took a drink at the party.

Your approach is very Nifongian. Dismiss any evidence which calls your belief into question. It does not work that way

I obviously do not deny that Crystal was given a drink. I am saying that it is not established as a fact that she drank that drink. Kim Roberts/Pittman's account was that she spilled her drink.

I do assert, contrary to what you have said, it has not been established as fact that Crystal became impaired as a result of a drink given to her by a member of the Lacrosse team.

You can not dismiss evidence which you do not like.

Ken-ninny-hyderal:

I again point out the implausibility of your belief about other people at the Lacrosse party.

Your claim is that other people who were not members of the Lacrosse team and who were not DNA tested raped Crystal Mangum. You claim that members of the team could identify the perpetrators but did not. You are saying that members of the Lacrosse team still refused to identify the perpetrators even though three of their own were indicted for the crime.

That scenario, I say again is not at all plausible.

Ken-ninny-hyderal, something for you to digest, from the News and Observer April 13, 2007:

"In early 2006, she began dancing under the name "Precious" at The Platinum Club, a rundown strip joint in the countryside between Durham and Hillsborough. Yolanda Haynes, The Platinum Club's manager at the time, told investigators that Mangum seemed mentally unstable and appeared to be under the influence of drugs or drink whenever she was there.

David Evans did not refer to that drink in his statement to the police. Roberts' reference to the drink is that Crystal sipped it rather than drank it and then spilled it in the sink.

That does not establish as fact that Crystal became impaired as a result of a drink she took at the Lacrosse party.

So, instead of throwing more tantrums, why not man up and admit you got it wrong.

If it helps you, I admit I got it wrong about Jason Bissey not being able to see Crystal when she arrived at the Lacrosse house. Based on David Evans' statement I believed she arrived at 11:50 PM. Jason Bissey said he saw her at 11:45 PM. After reviewing other sources, including(don't flinch) KC Johnson's Until Proven Innocent, I learned Crystal arrived at 11:40 PM.

See, it isn't hard to admit a mistake.

The sexual assault alleged by Ms. Mangum was a "DNA depositing rape". What you are saying is what Mr. Nifong was saying when he dropped the rape charge, namely, if we can't prove the alleged crime, let's prosecute anyway.

Name a legal expert who says that is the way to proceed in a criminal prosecution.

Referring back to your previous posts, you admit no noxious substance was found in Ms. Mangum's system. That does not support a suspicion that Lacrosse players administered a noxious substance.

It has not been established, by sources you have referenced, that Ms. Mangum became impaired via a drink she was given at the party.

On the other hand, according to this N&O article I cited, there were reports of Ms. Mangum showing up for work, acting as if she were impaired.

Why would the LAX players reveal to the authorities who they were once it was clear they were suspects in the alleged crime(an NTO in NC is issued to have suspects give evidence such as DNA)? Why would the LAX players not reveal who they were when three of their own were indicted?

To say people do not act in their own best interests is not an answer. It is a dodge.

It is a matter of record tha Mr. Nifong, in spite of his zeal to convict the Lacrosse players, did not charge them with theft. At one point Crystal was saying that Kim Roberts/Pittman took her money. You seem unconcerned about that.

Under what legal theory is it proper to presume other crimes were committed if the alleged crime could not be proven?

I remind you, Ms. Mangum alleged a "DNA depositing rape". Forensic examination did not show any evidence of said "DNA depositing rape".

Ken-ninny-hyderal, let's get back to the non LAX player DNA found on Ms. Mangum's person. You have contended that the time of DNA deposition could not be determined. You suggest that the non LAX DNA could have been deposited at the time of the alleged rape.

If so, explain why Mr. Nifong did not attempt to identify who those non-LAX males were. It has been determined in open court Mr. Nifong concealed the evidence.

Mr. Nifong ordered the test which revealed the non LAX DNA because he believed he could identify suspects from the results.

Four of them were common illegal street drugs. The date rape drug Rohypnol was only tested for in hair samples weeks later. The most obvious drug comensurate with the symptoms Crystal exhibited was not tested for. This drug, Chloral Hydrate, is extremely fast acting and very quickly completely metabolized. Until very recently testing for it has been notoriously difficult. New methods not in use at the time depend on a metabolite that can later be detected in urine.

Anonymous said...

Ken-ninny-hyderal, with respect to your last post:

Nevertheless, a drug screen was done and did not reveal any noxious substance in her system. That does not support the charge that a noxious substance was administered, regardless of whether or not Chloral Hydrate could have been used. The fact that Chloral Hydrate could not be tested for is not evidence that it was used. Consult some attorney if you doubt me.

Add to this, it has not been established as fact that Crystal consumed a drink at the Party.

It is not established that Crystal became impaired at the party. There is testimony that she was impaired when she got to the party. That you call such testimony self serving is irrelevant.

Anonymous said...

Ken-ninny-hyderal, again referring back to your last post:

If Crystal was in fact impaired by Chloral Hydrate, what establishes it that it was administered at the party.

It is entirely possible that Crystal self administered the drug before the party.

According to the N&O, I say again, it was said that Crystal would show up at her place of work impaired. Those events happened before the Lacrosse party.

Of course, in spite of the fact that this news appeared in the News and Observer after AG Cooper expressed his belief that the LAX 3 were innocent, you would regard it as self serving, a story brewed up by the LAX defendants' lawyers to discredit Ms. Mangum.

Anonymous said...

Ken-ninny-hyderal, here is something more for you to ponder:

A Sergeant Shelton was the DPD officer who responded to Kim Roberts/Pittman's 911 call. That was the call in which she said that a rape had happened but that she and her girlfriend had been subjected to racial epithets spoken by people in the LAX house.

Sergeant Shelton eventually responded to Pittman'Roberts second call from the Kroger parking lot, made to report that Crystal Mangum would not get out of her car. According to Sergeant Shelton, Crystal was walking outside the LAX house when the epithets were made and that she picked her up.

Pittman/Roberts did not mention the party let alone the alleged rape.

Is it plausible that Pittman/Roberts was at the scene of this crime but would not report the crime to the police? Is it plausible that Pittman Roberts would pick up the alleged victim, then try to have her evicted from her car.

While we are at it, Sergeant Shelton tried to find out from Crystal what had happened. According to his notes, Crystal did waiver between yes I was raped and no I wasn't before settling on Yes I was.

After the whole thing we went next door thinking the cops might come because of the "racial slur", I don't know what was said.
When we got back Danny gave me $260 [it looks like 360 was scratched out and was replaced by 260] that he still had from what was taken. I gave him a $100 bill because he had paid extra. He won a $100 game of beer pong. I put the $160 on my desk, and the next day put it on our living room table" This money was seized in a search warrant.

It seems David Evans was against the idea of taking Crystal's money and tried to prevent it. You cannot say David Evans had any intent to steal.

If the money was seized in a search warrant from the Lacrosse house, does that not say that the police took the money. If Crystal never got it back, would that not be the fault of the police department?

They would have had no rape charge to investigate had Crystal not made her false allegations of rape. So, to an extent, Crystal herself is responsible for whatever non prosecution happened over her money.

In any event, it is clear that Crystal breached the contract. She took money to perform for two hours. Then, she did not do so. So it is questionable whether or not she earned the money.

When Sergeant Shelton encountered Ms. Pittman/Roberts at the Kroger store, she told Sergeant Pittman that Crystal was impaired but she did not know why. I believe she said she did not know what was going on but she knew Crystal needed help.

She did not mention the party. She claimed she had picked up Crystal while Crystal was walking by the Lacrosse house.

Why would Ms. Pittman/Roberts not report to Sergeant Shelton that Crystal had become impaired after taking a drink at the party.

If she had done so, don't you think that Sergeant Shelton would have gotten her to a medical facility which could have run a tox screen?

If that is indeed true, if that player had information of relevance to the Lacrosse case, then why did Kilgo not report that to the police.

It is a matter of public record that Mr. Nifong tried to intimidate Lacrosse players into giving incriminating evidence against whoever Mr. Nifong considered a suspect. His statement was that anyone who had knowledge of the crime and did not come forward with incriminating testimony would be charged with aiding and abetting.

Of course, the truth is, no crime happened and therefore, any Lacrosse player giving testimony of such a crime would be committing perjury.

I say again, Mr. Nifong should have been charged with attempting to suborn perjury.

Referring to kilgo as your source of information about the Lacrosse party does not do anything for your credibility.

From Me: "
How would it have violated her[Kim's] parole to inform an officer that her "companion' had been administered a noxious substance?"

The only way I can think of is that Kim herself administered the noxious substance.

According to her statement, Crystal did not drink her drink, she spilled it into the sink.
