The misguided and unenlightened hurt themselves

It is such a rarity when politicians tell the truth, especially Republicans, that it is quite refreshing when, on occasion, they do. One incident of actual truth-telling occurred yesterday, when Republican presidential hopeful Mitch Romney, giddy from his thorough trouncing of his party’s competitor for the presidential nomination Newt Gingrich, put his brain on cruise control and allowed his mouth to speak without monitoring its content. In response to a question posed to him during a television interview, Mitt Romney stated that he’s “not concerned about the very poor.” This should be no revelation to anyone who follows politics in this country as no Republican cares about the very poor. Not John Boehner, not Eric Cantor, not Renee Elmers, not Thom Tillis... the list goes on. What is surprising is that he actually said it.

Now Newt Gingrich was quick to pounce on Romney’s statement by stating that he “cares about all Americans.” I have a problem with such a hypocritical statement coming from Newt as it is an insult to the intelligence of all Americans. Everyone with a scintilla of common sense knows that Gingrich no more cares about the poor or the very poor than does Romney or other conservative Republicans. At least Romney put a health care system in his state of Massachusetts that covered the health care needs of most of its residents and was the national model of what’s become known as “Obamacare.” However, Romney exhibits his lack of courage by denying ownership of it because the Conservatives and Tea Partyers started bandying about the term “socialized medicine” when discussing it. Instead of shrieking from it, Romney should have boasted about it. After all, what is the alternative for the poor and needy who lack health insurance… to let them die?

Take the following example: suppose an infant with a high fever showing signs and symptoms of meningitis presents at the emergency room door, and he/she is not covered by health insurance. The Conservatives’ answer is to deny him/her medical treatment and allow him/her to die. This would not occur in a country with socialized medicine; not even a Third World nation. Many of the poor and the very poor, and even the not so poor in this country are lacking health insurance, and yet the Republicans are trashing President Obama’s efforts to provide health care coverage for all by labeling his endeavors as “socialized medicine.”

Socialism is a term that the majority of Americans have been taught to fear. What is so ludicrous is that the millions of Americans who are poor and/or in dire financial straits should be embracing its principles, which place the best interests of society before those of a privileged few. Instead, they are railing against the socialists policies that would work to their greatest benefit. In other words, they are brainwashed to act against their own interests by the wealthy and those in power.

In a follow up, Mitt Romney, whose wealth has been estimated at a quarter of a billion dollars and who pays an income tax rate of 13% (which is substantially lower than that paid by the majority of poor), stated that he didn’t worry about them because of the “safety net” that is in place for the indigent. What safety net? The millions of American citizens who are living on the streets, in automobiles, and in shelters would like to know about these so-called “safety nets.” He must have been referring to the room and board and medical care provided by the Prison Industrial Complex, for in some states it is a crime to be poor. In Wake County and the city of Raleigh, for example, it is a crime to panhandle without a permit… the Wake County permit must be renewed weekly. And the requirements for Johnston County’s panhandling permits are even more stringent, requiring a photo id and a criminal background check.

Food stamps, health care provided by Planned Parenthood, and other charitable programs and agencies have been under an onslaught by Republicans on a national and state level depriving needy Americans and Tar Heelians of the basic necessities of survival. And the GOP members, especially North Carolina’s own Congresswoman Renee Elmers, have been obstructionists in preventing President Obama and some of the Democrats from passing legislation to provide relief for those who have suffered from economic policies that have for so long favored the wealthiest. Without doubt, their motive in dragging down the country in a whole scale manner is to provide enough discontent amongst voters in order to cast blame on the incumbent president and persuade those who are suffering most to elect a corporate friendly GOP presidential nominee.

Americans need to enlighten themselves and take measures to protect the interests of all instead of the few at the summit. Most Americans should support the Occupy movements which call for economic equity and which call for an end to corporate greed. But all too often those individuals ensconced deep within the bowels of the 99% and who are without jobs, shelter, and do not know where their next meal is coming from, are the very ones who are detractors of the very movement that is attempting to come to their aid. They are not enlightened and are victims of a massive Jedi mind trick perpetrated by the avaricious privileged.

When Duke University discriminated against me in April 2010 because of my thoughts, opinions, and beliefs, I fought back, and continue to fight, for the protection of the First Amendment Rights of all Tar Heelians. Duke University, relying on its relationship with the media and heavily counting on the courts for help, has been waging an all-out battle to deprive me of my rights. Make no mistake, I am fighting not only for myself, but for all of the millions of residents in this state. Yet, many are misguided by the anti-Nifong propaganda that has flooded the state. Those who have been blinded by the murky media marketing and have failed to see the light are the ones who have taken glee in chiding and mocking me for fighting the good fight. What my detractors fail to realize and/or understand is that our fates are all linked together, and if you value your First Amendment Rights to have independent thought, opinions, and beliefs, then you should be standing besides me in the trenches.

An unenlightened populous will be more likely to elect officials under whose policies they will suffer most, be more prone to attack movements which are paradoxically fighting for their legal and social interests, and are most apt to ridicule the efforts of those making sacrifices on the social justice front lines to protect their liberties.

Best yet.....winds the award for "Total meltdown by a whacko".
Since you and Victoria are in love, and since VP doesn't think gays and lesbians ought to have domestic partner health insurance benefits because they are disease ridden, and since not every single gay and lesbian person in this country is rich, then I guess we all find it hard to believe that YOU, Sid, "care about the poor". What YOU care about is entitlements, hand outs, racial quotas. government run healthcare, and racist/bigoted/homophobic agendas. That, fella, is what YOU care about.
Instead of yelling about what Romney and Newt are doing, not doing, how about you get off your socialist backside and actually go out and help your neighbor? how about that, DOCTOR Harr?

You are not a "movement". You are not fighting for my rights. You do not represent me. The Occupy movement, whatever the hell that is, MAY have had a few people in it initially with good intentions and bright ideas. Now, it has degenerated into a bunch of church desecrating, property wrecking thieves, drug users, rapists and thugs. Join em, Sid. You ought to fit right in....only,geez, I thought you didn't go for "beer guzzling debauchery and ogling women". I guess that must be OK for your crowd under certain circumstances.....

You then said that a paring knife qualified as a kitchen knife, therefore you reported accurately.

Yet you can't see why no one takes you seriously.

Sid-ninny, this kitchen knife/paring knife thing must have really caught you unprepared. I notice you do not resort to your usual dodge, namely, I have my information from my reliable sources.

Walt said...

Sid, Romney's comment about the poor was inappropriate, if accurate. However, what he was saying is we have a good safety net for the poor. As far as that goes, Mit Romney is right. The error of his comment is that we do not have enough social mobility to allow more of the poor to move out of poverty. That social mobility has never been worse than it is today. Of course a part of that has to do with Obama protecting the too big to fail banks and brokerages who fund his campaign.

Turning to taxes, it is the Democrats, particularly Bev Perdue who has raised and tried to raise even more the taxes that fall most heavily on the poor. The sales tax and the lottery. True the lottery is voluntary, but we knew before it passed that poor people play the lottery in disproportionately high numbers.

Writing of taxes, you are plainly wrong when you claim Mit Romney pays a lower rate than poor people. If a poor person does not have a job, he or she pays no federal income or social security taxes. If he does work, thanks to George W. Bush's tax cuts a poor or even low wage earner pays no federal income taxes! None, zip, zilch, nada. And, it's Bev Perdue and the NC Democratic Party that wants to raise the sales tax that falls most heavily on the poor. But, you wouldn't want to let the facts get in the way of a good rant.

Finally, turning to health care, a poor child in the emergency room gets Medicare or SCHIP insurance coverage. So, no concern about his or her medical care. Indeed, Medicare or SCHIP will pay for wellness checks and Doctor visits outside of the ER as well. Indeed because doctor visits outside the ER are much less expensive, medicare and SCHIP prefer that the poor take advantage of those services.

Hey, Walt.

I still say, "What safety net?" If there was a safety net in place, millions of people would not be homeless, hungry, and unable to afford the basic health care. The Republican influence has been used to deprive women in need of healthcare when the Conservatives forced the Komen Foundation to stop making its measly donations to Planned Parenthood. Face it, neither Romney, Trump, Gingrich, nor most Republicans care about the very poor.

And the reason that the very poor don't pay taxes is because they don't have the money. They don't have homes or addresses. They don't have jobs. Income tax is based on income, and if there is no income how do you expect them to pay income tax? Romney with his mainly investment income of $42million annually, should not be paying 13%, but should be paying at least 75%. Republicans should be grateful that I'm not in politics.

Trust me when I say that it's more than just republicans that are glad you're not in politics.

Based on your commits regarding Mr. Daye and his death, there's undoubtedly quite a few that are glad you no longer practicing medicine, too.

You would not have published the things you have published if you had no vendetta against the innocent, falsely accused Lacrosse players. You would not be questioning their innocence.

You couldn't sue the Lacrosse players because you have no standing to sue them.

And you are suing Duke because you are a deluded megalomaniac.

Walt said...

Sid, take a deep breath. "And the reason that the very poor don't pay taxes is because they don't have the money. They don't have homes or addresses. They don't have jobs."

For those people, there is no tax on income. However, they do come into money and they do buy things. There is a sales tax and Perdue wants to increase it. Further, we know that the sales tax falls most heavily on the poor. Again, Perdue and the Democrats want to increase the sales tax. The GOP does not.

"Income tax is based on income, and if there is no income how do you expect them to pay income tax?"

Prior to the Bush tax cuts, the income tax reached much lower into the low income section of earners. His tax cuts did away with that.

"Romney with his mainly investment income of $42million annually, should not be paying 13%, but should be paying at least 75%."

Mit Romney paid all the tax that he owed. Yes, he has mostly interest, dividend and capital gains income. Thus he pays a lower tax rate because the law allows him to. For decades we have pursued a lower tax on dividends, interest and capital gains because economic studies indicated that those investment activities generated jobs and a stronger economy. By the way, Romney pays closer to 15% federal income tax and gives to charity about an equal amount. He's not the bad guy in this. And we should not begrudge him his success.

She could not identify either David Evans and Reade Seligman at two previous identification sessions.

Reade Seligman and Colin Finnerty were not present in the Lacrosse house at the time of the alleged crime.

Crystal said she would be 100% sure David Evans had assaulted her if he had had a mustache. David Evans never had a mustache.

You would never have posted such things about Crystal's ID's of her assailants unless you believed them guilty.

With all due respect, Walt, I wholeheartedly disagree. As far as I'm concerned, Mitt Romney is nothing more than a parasite, like many of the wealthiest. He rakes in the money, but doesn't contribute to society. As far as business goes, he might be good at making a profit... but unfortunately, that sometimes means cutting the work force and shipping manufacturing and jobs overseas where it's cheaper. His success in business is in making profits, not creating jobs.

As far as him legally paying taxes... what do you expect? The rich politicians make laws that benefit the wealthy... themselves. Doing something that is legal and doing something that is morally fair are not the same thing.

In my opinion, he is a bad guy who doesn't care about the poor, the very poor, or anyone other than the wealthy.

The context was, someone quoted to you Mr. Nifong's admission that he had no credible to incriminate the Lacrosse defendants. You went into some monologue about credible evidence being tangible evidence and non credible evidence being intangible evidence, e.g.. circumatantial evidence. As I recall, you claimed Mr. Nifong had enough non tangible evidence to convict.

I hope that refreshed your recollection.

Sid -- A quick google search revealed that Mitt Romney and his family donated $7 million dollars to charity over the last 2 years. Some of the recipients include:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (obviously),
The Center for the Treatment of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis,
Dana Farber Cancer Institute,
George W. Bush presidential library,
Harvard Business School


The Romney family charitable giving was 16.4% of their income. How much of your income is given to charity?

A silligism of your own is your hypothesis about the night of 13/14 March 2006:

You say that unidentified people at the party perpetrated a non DNA depositing sexual assault on Crystal(Crystal alleged a DNA depositing rape).

You further say that the Lacrosse players knew who the perpetrators were, but covered up for them, to the extent that they would allow three innocent players to be indicted for the crime by a rogue DNA who was determined to convict regardless of the lack of evidence of the alleged crime.

Sid-ninny, specify exactly were the injustices perpetrated against Mr. Nifong and Ms. Mangum.

Mr. Nifong was unjustly disbarred, and forced to resign from his elected position as the Durham district attorney. Furthermore he was denied immunity from civil prosecution for his actions as a prosecutor, the Attorney General's office refused to represent him at his hearing before the State Bar, and Attorney General Cooper called on the U.S. Justice Department to bring criminal charges against Mr. Nifong for his handling of the Duke Lacrosse case.

Regarding Crystal, all of the charges in the February 2010 incident were trumped up against her as a vendetta prosecution. She was the victim of domestic abuse in that instance. In the April 2011 incident, she stabbed Reginald Daye in self-defense and should not be charged with first degree murder or larceny, as Daye's death was due to medical malpractice or a hospital homicide. The larceny charge... ridiculous, as she paid for the money orders that she was alleged to have taken with her. In all instances, trumped up bogus charges as a vendetta prosecution against her.

"Mitt Romney is nothing more than a parasite, like many of the wealthiest. He rakes in the money, but doesn't contribute to society....In my opinion, he is a bad guy who doesn't care about the poor, the very poor, or anyone other than the wealthy."

Sid -- A quick google search revealed that Mitt Romney and his family donated $7 million dollars to charity over the last 2 years. Some of the recipients include:
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (obviously),
The Center for the Treatment of Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis,
Dana Farber Cancer Institute,
George W. Bush presidential library,
Harvard Business School


The Romney family charitable giving was 16.4% of their income. How much of your income is given to charity?

I'm not really impressed by Mr. Romney's so-called charitable giving... I am not impressed by some of the organizations he gave his donations to either...
the Bush library and Harvard Business School? I'm sure he made donations because he was politically motivated to do so, and because he was able to get a big tax write-off as a result.

I do not have the financial assets of Romney and am not in a fraction of the top 1%, but if I had his wealth, I would donate around 50% of my annual wealth to worthy causes to help the many "very poor."

Thereby go ye enlightened.

It is obvious to anyone but a ninny that Mr. Nifong was prosecuted and disbarred because he attempted to perpetrate a wrongful prosecution of innocent men for his own political advantage.

All of what Sid-ninny cited regarding Crystal Mangum had nothing to do with the false allegations of rape she made against the innocent Duke Lacrosse players.

The Durham police went into Crystal's apartment and started the fire in the bathroom just so they could charge her with arson.

-- Mitt Romney is an alumnus of Harvard Business School, which would explain his donations to that organization.

The third charged player was David Evans. Crystal could not reliably identify David Evans as an assailant. She said she would have been 100% sure that David Evans was an assailant if he had had a mustache. David Evans never had a mustache. Shortly after his indictment, David Evans spoke to the press and denied that any sexual assault had taken place.

It is implausible that David Evans, after being wrongfully accused, would have refused to identify the real perpetrators had there been any real perpetrators and had he known them.

Again, Crystal alleged a DNA depositing rape perpetrated by a number of Lacrosse players. If that had indeed happened, there would have been evidence on the rape kit. There was no such evidence.

Mr. Nifong made it clear, despite the lack of evidence, he would prosecute. At his behest, three men were charged with a class I felony which carried a sentence of 30 years in prison.

Your hypothesis is that unknown people, whose existence can not be established, perpetrated a non DNA depositing sexual assault. You say members of the Lacrosse team knew who the perpetrators were.

What your implausible hypothesis boils down to is that innocent men would submit to indictment, prosecution by a rogue prosecutor who was determined to convict in spite of the lack of evidence, run up millions of dollars in legal expenses, all to cover up for the real perpetrators.

You can protest you concern for Crystal all you want. I say, like Sid-ninny, you are angry that Crystal's false allegations did not result in the wrongful conviction of innocent white men.

Ken-ninny-hyderal, you express indignation at the discreditation of Crystal Mangum, something the innocent lacrosse players' attorneys never orchestrated.

Whatever you think, I believe it is a bit wrong to subject innocent men to such treatment.

The REAL reason behind Sid's and Kenny's (twins, separated at birth, no doubt) angst is NOT Nifong. Nifong/Mangum is a cover, more PC correct, NON racist cause that these two wingnuts can support. They do not have the cajones to admit to the REAL burr under their saddles...which is....the evil rich white men did not do a damn thing to Mangum. The thing that just chaps Sid's backside (and kenny's) is that these men were INNOCENT. These guys, the infamous 88, administrators at Duke who suck up to the liberal gender/sex/class academic airheads (like Wahneeeeeena Lubiano) and the NY Times were literally salivating that they had their prototype villans who should be castrated. And, gosh darn it, the problem with the whole tale was that the men did not do it! Shucks and golly.
So, rather than admitting to their racism, sid, kenny, victoria and a handfull of whackos like them transfer their righteous anger from the failed plan to crucify the lacrosse guys to the new "victims"......poor Sister and poor Nifong.
Call it whatever you wish, Sid and Kenny. We ALL know what really just frost your Axx.....the guys didn't do it.

Sid wrote: "Mr. Nifong was unjustly disbarred..."

No. He was given a fair hearing. A hearing where the evidence showed that he lied to the court. He held numerous (50+) press conferences and media availability where he misrepresented facts to the public. He concealed evidence even after he had been ordered to turn it over. He violated the NTI process by not immediately turning over the results as required by the NTI statute. That is all in the record, not opinion or supposition.

"..., and forced to resign from his elected position as the Durham district attorney."

That's what the law requires when you are no longer permitted to practice law.

"Furthermore he was denied immunity from civil prosecution for his actions as a prosecutor,..."

As those actions, persuing a prosecution without probable cause, were outside the scope of authority of the District Attorney, he was rightly denied civil immunity. Indeed, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that the appropriate remedy for prosecution without probable cause is civil liability.

"the Attorney General's office refused to represent him at his hearing before the State Bar,..."

Correct they were. The Attorney General never represents lawyers in disciplinary actions.

Nifong is the worst of a bad lot. Disbarring him was an absolute necessity.

Still, if a criminal defendant were to offer as a defense that some other individual perpetrated the crime, that would not constitute reasonable doubt unless the defendant could show that individual had, among other things, opportunity and motive.

In your implausible belief, you can not even establish the existence of these other people.

Basically, you have not established the presence of male DNA on Crystal's person that belonged to any male.I remind you, the forensic exam of the rape kit found no evidenc of what would have been left behind in a DNA depositing rape.

Crystal alleged that multiple members of the Lacrosse team, who did not wear condoms, who penetrated her, ejaculated upon her.

It is possible to tell the difference between old, degraded DNA and fresh DNA. Brad Bannon learned that prior to exposing the conspiracy between Mike Nifong and Brian Meehan to conceal the finding of that old, degraded DNA on Crystal's person.

Ken-ninny-hyderal, you should consider the implications of what you are saying. You are saying the non Lacrosse DNA was deposited at the time of the alleged rape, that it belonged to the unknown rapists.

Once again, for the challenged, Mangum, the wingnut left poster child for downtrodden conspiracy victims, LIED.
There were multiple male samples in and on her body (from the kit analysis) that included non-degraded DNA. (five plus distinct samples). One false fingermail, found in a wastebasket full of trash from the homeowners, had Evans' DNA, as I recall. None from the three in, on, around her body. NONE.
Mangums told Levicy the men did NOT use condoms....four times. When Mangum was confronted with the truth of no DNA from the accused in or on her, she CHANGED her story. (well, yeah, maybe they did not condoms). How convenient!
There were no zero zilch nada defense marks on Mangum. NONE.
She claimed to be "sore" (subjectively reported to Levicy) but there was no Objective finding of pain during assessment.
Remember within a couple of days, Mangum was back pole vaulting......on the same night the pot-bangers staged their candlelight vigil at the house, yelling that the players should be castrated and that the poor victim was in "agony".
If we are to believe Kenny-hissy, we have to believe that the phantom rapist, who was unknown to and unseen by the partygoers, crept into the house during the party, raped Sister and left no DNA, and spirited himself out without being seen.

DNA degrades over time. There is a substantive difference in the appearance of the DNA evidence as it time passes. I am NOT a pathologist and I claim NO expertise in this area. (of course, we will all soon hear the experts, Kenny and Sid, touting their opninions. I get my information from a pathologist who currently is the Chief of Pathology and Chairman of the Department of Pathology for a major academic medical center in a state other than NC. He has no bias and could care less about the Duke case. According to him, it is routine to assess the relative "newness" or degradation of DNA evidence. So, Kenny and Sid, as far as I am concerned, when Bannon says there were at least five samples in and on Mangum and NONE were from anybody at the party, and ALL showed no significant degradation.....I pretty well have to believe that Sister was a reallllly friendly girl who liked to party with more than one fellow....and that she did not score with anybody at the lacrosse party.

Ken-ninny-hyderal: "DNA deposition can not be timed."

So let's go over this again.

If "DNA deposition can not be timed.", then one can not establish as fact when DNA was deposited. One can not establish as fact that the unidentified male DNA found on Crystal was deposited on the night of 13/14 March 2006. One can therefore establish as fact that any male or group of males perpetrated a DNA depositing rape on Crystal n the night of 13/14 March 2006.

Therefore, you can not, by your own admission, establish as fact that a roup of unknown males raped Crystal at the Lacrosse Party.

Good luck extracting your foot from your mouth.

"Then there's two alleged crimes for which no charges were laid ie admisitering(sic) a noxious substance and theft."

The only one who alleged the crime of administering a noxious substance was you, and you provided no evidence to back up your claim.

Theft, that is a bit more problematic. However, if anyone was responsible for the loss of Crystal's money it was the police. You have admitted the police impounded the money and kept it.

Mangum had told police one encounter involved a couple and the use of a small vibrator. Those hotel encounters could have explained the only abnormal finding from Mangum's pelvic examination at the Duke emergency room hours after the lacrosse party: diffuse swelling of the vaginal walls.

Why hasn't he done so?

By not going to the police with such knowledge, wasn't he aiding and abetting criminals? Wasn't he obstructing justice?

kenhyderal said...

Hopefully Kilgo will reappear and answer for himself but it's my understanding that he is a friend of a player who was present at the party and that player is struggling with his conscience about whether to reveal, or not, what he witnessed. At one point, former DA Nifong threatened to lay charges against anyone found guilty of "covering up" for perpetrators. I'm not sure, with the case dismissed, if that still applies. I never liked Kilgo's style of debate on this blog. It's like much of the juvenile postings of so many of the anonymous posters with their rants and chants. Kilgo however did put his money where his mouth was in helping Crystal financially

Kenny-hyderal: "former DA Nifong threatened to lay charges against anyone found guilty of "covering up" for perpetrators."

You are a bit confused, aren't you Ken-ninny? One usually files charges against someone you have probable cause to believe guilty. Except, of course for Mike Ni-nny-fong. who filed charges to enhance his chances of winning the election for DA.

You should look at Marsha Goodenow's testimony during the Ni-nny-fong ethics trial. Threatening to prosecute someone for aiding and abetting if that individual did not come forth with incriminating information is not ethical. Mr. Ni-nny-fong threatened to prosecute Lacrosse players who did not provide incriminating testimony.

Further, if any one did come forth with incriminating testimony in response to such a threat, such testimony would not be plausible. You could not know whether the witness would be telling the truth or just trying to avoid criminal charges. Mr. Ni-nny-fong had the three Lacrosse players indicted even though he had no evidence to incriminate them.

I ask you again, if Kilgo indeed have knowledge of a crime at 610 North Buchanan(something which is doubtful) wasn't he aiding and abetting criminals?

No player came forth.

That would indicate to anyone but a ninny that there was no incriminating information to come forth with.

Of course, Ken-ninny believes innocent Lacrosse players would rather risk wrongful conviction, imprisonment, and millions in legal expenses rather than reveal who the perpetrators are.

You, by your own words, can not establish the time of deposit of that DNA unless you can match it to someone at the party. While you can suggest there were unidentified men at the party, the presence of unidentified DNA on Crystal's person, does not establish the presence of unidentified men.

Contrary to your unsupported allegation, the fact that no Lacrosse player, even under the threat of criminal charges of aiding and abetting, suggests there were no unknowns there.

Again, it is not plausible that after three innocent men were wrongfully indicted by a rogue prosecutor, facing a biased court, running up millions of dollars in legal expenses, would cover up for unknown men who actually perpetrated the alleged crime.

That is a big if, since you have not established that said unidentified people even exist.

And your scenario is totally implausible.

You have also not established that other crimes occurred. You have not established that Crystal was raped. You duck the issue, that forensic exam of the rape kit shortly after said rape did not show evidence of a DNA depositing rape.

You claim that these unidentified people raped Crystal, that members of the Lacrosse team witnessed the rape.

You claim that because Lacrosse players feared prosecution of those alleged other crimes, they covered up for the alleged unidentified perpetrators.

Three innocent Lacrosse players were indicted for the alleged rape. The DA who had them indicted was determined to convict them although he had no evidence. They incurred millions of dollars in legal expenses to defend themselves. You say they, in the face of all this, would cover for the unidentified perpetrators because they were afraid of being charged with lesser crimes on the word of those unidentified perpetrators.

What you are basing all this upon is Kilgo's claim he has an informant who witnessed all this. Kilgo, in spite of multiple opportunities, has never demonstrated he had any first hand knowledge of what happened in the bogus Duke rape case.

Determining every person, there present, was never done. In my opinion the charges were laid prematurely especially after some, identified by the photo line-up, had alibis and the DNA of those tested was negative. At a minimum the three unknown DNA samples should have been sent to a data bank to see if they brought up any hits. Not surprisingly because of sloppy Polce work the charges had to be dismissed. In the pending civil suit against Durham I would suggest the city hire a Private Investigator to determine a comprehensive list of all who were present and if possible ask them to voluntarily submit DNA samples

I will concede the scenario you came up with is a possibility, but it is not a plausible possibility. It is, unknown men at the party raped Crystal, members of the Lacrosse team witnessed the rape, rather than name the perpetrators they would incur millions of dollars in legal expenses and risk wrongful conviction and a long prison term, that they would do all this because they feared the perpetrators would implicate them in lesser, other crimes.

So what if the unknown DNA on Crystal might have identified someone in a national data bank. It would not establish that this individual had been at the party.

E.G. what if the person identified had been someone who could prove he had been hundreds of miles away from the party on the night of the alleged crime?

And again, forensic exam and physical exam revealed nothing pathognomonic of rape.

In addition, there is the eye witness testimony that Crystal was pole dancing at a club just a couple days after said alleged brutal rape.

There is also the fact that a few months after the alleged rape she engaged in sex with another man by whom she became pregnant.

The only supposed evidence you actually had of rape is Crystal's allegation, and Crystal's allegation is not credible.

The probable cause affidavit for a search warrant stated:
“Medical records and interviews that were obtained by subpoena revealed that the victim had signs, symptoms, and injuries consistent with being raped and sexually assaulted vaginally and anally. Furthermore, the SANE nurse stated the injuries and her behavior were consistent with a traumatic experience.”

Furthermore, the SANE nurse stated the injuries and her behavior were consistent with a traumatic experience.”

The examination was performed by an ob-gyn resident, not by the SANE. The only objective finding was diffuse vaginal edema, something which was not pathognomic of rape.

The so called SANE had just finished her training, had little to no hands on experience doing a rape exam.

Said SANE recorded multiple times in the Medical record that Crystal sad her alleged assailants did not use condoms. Later she claimed Crystal did not recall whether or not condoms had been used.

You omitted this conclusion from AG Cooper's report:

“No medical evidence confirmed her [the accuser’s] stories. The SANE based her opinion that the exam was consistent with what the accusing witness was reporting largely on the accusing witness’s demeanor and complaints of pain rather than on objective evidence.”

From Joe Neff's News and Observer article on April 18, 2007:

”On the morning of March 14, Levicy had asked Dr. Julie Manly to perform the pelvic examination on Mangum. Manly had performed numerous rape exams.

“Mangum was different in several ways. Most rape victims are withdrawn and quiet but cooperative. Mangum, on the other hand, called attention to herself by screaming; Manly had never seen that behavior before, she told defense lawyer Doug Kingsbery in October.

“Manly made one notation on the rape kit report: "diffuse edema of the vaginal walls." It was the only medical evidence in Nifong's files that might support Mangum's version of what occurred at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd.

“In an interview with Kingsbery, Manly said she did not recall seeing that kind of swelling in any of her previous sexual assault exams. Manly had seen similar swelling in others of the hundreds of routine pelvic exams she had performed, but there were other reasons for it.

“During the exam of Mangum, Manly had seen discharge she assumed could be semen. After learning the rape kit turned up none, Manly came up with another possibility:

“Mangum had the whitish discharge and vaginal swelling common to a yeast infection."

It was untrained, SANE trainee who recorded those findings you find so significant. The Doctor who actually performed the exam did not think the findings were significant.

One more thing from Joe Neff's article:

"It's(diffuse vaginal edema) a routine and unremarkable diagnosis -- one that could have been discovered much earlier in Mike Nifong's investigation".

In othrer words, there were no findings on the physical rxam which were pathognomonic of rape.

Dr. Julie Many was not interviewed by the DPD or the DA's office. The interview with Attorney Kingsbery was conducted to cast doubt on the the information in the examining report. Dr. Manly assumed she saw semen but did not document it. When pressed by Kingsbery she admitted it might have been an exudate from a candida infection. Crystal had no such infection at the time. DNA was found in the rape kit it just did not match the players who were tested. Her finding of difuse edema of the vaginal wall although not pathognomic of rape can certainly be a rape finding. The Players "Dream Team" effectively challenged every piece of evidence creating reasonable doubt. So successful were they that it gave the defendants grounds to launch a Civil Suit. Cooper had no choice because of inadequate evidence gathering to dismiss the charges that were prematurely laid.

AG Cooper had no choice because the evidence indicated no crime had happened.

No shit Sherlock. The interview revealed that Tara Levicy did not conduct a hands on investigation, that her opinions were not based on actual physical findings.

You seem to think the Defense Attorney had no right to question the prosecution's evidence.

Why did the DPD and DA not question Dr. Manly, who actually did the examination. Considering Mike Ni-nny-fong's attitude towards exculpatory evidence, it was likely he did not want to hear anything which would exonerate his chosen victims.

You got it wrong.

Dr. Manly first thought it was semen. Then she learned the forensic exam of the rape kit found no evidence of semen and concluded the white substance was not semen - if it had been then the rape kit would have tested positive for semen.

As Joe Neff's report stated, Dr. Manly had done a number of previous rape exams and had never found the diffuse vaginal edema which she, not Tara Levicy, had found. She had found such a finding commonly in yeast infections.

The failure to find semen on the rape kit would indicate the DNA found on Crystal was not deposited on the night of 13/14 March 2006, and there was no reason to suspect it would lead to the identification of any perpetrator.

Which would tell you that the players were wrongfully accused. Reasonable doubt is one thing. Reasonable doubt does not give the defendants grounds to file a civil suit.

If you recall, reasonable doubt got OJ Simpson off, but it was not enough to protect him from a civil action.

Which brings up the question again why did Crystal not file a civil suit?

How do you know that? Was Crystal ever tested for such an infection at the time the rape kit was taken?

Dr. Manly's statement was that first she thought it might be semen. When the testing of the rape kit revealed no semen, she thought the white substance was an exudate and the finding of diffuse vaginal edema was more consistent with a yeast infection than with a rape.

Let's consider the rape kit again.

What the state crime lab found was the rape kit tested negative for semen.

That would mean that the DNA found on Crystal did not happen via a deposition of semen on the night of 13/14 March 2006. For that matter, the rape kit testing revealed no foreign bodily fluid, i.e. no fluid transfer between any alleged assailant and Ms. Mangum,

So why would anyone think that unknown male DNA could have gotten on her via the kind of rape she described.

Ken-ninny-hyderal: "Dr. Manly assumed she saw semen but did not document it."

So the issue of whether or not semen was detected became an issue because the defense attorney questioned her.

"Dr. Julie Many(sic) was not interviewed by the DPD or the DA's office."

It is a real isse, why neither the DPD or the Durham DA did not question Dr. Manly.

If it was semen which r. Manly saw, why did the rape kit test negative for semen?

Anonymous @ 6:31 PM said: "If it was semen which r.

Because this enzyme is present elsewhere in the body, however, the test is not absolute proof of it's presence or absence. Investigative Bureaus need to extract DNA from sperm cells to make an identification. The detection of sperm is the only thing that is conclusive because semen is a heterogeneous fluid.

So why did the NC SBI fail to find semen on the rape kit. Are you allleging that the SBI was unaware of that? Did the SBI report the DNA found on her came from sperm cells?

And you are dodging the question, how could male DNA have gotten on to Crystal's person at the party if there was no deposition of male bodily fluids on her person? Crystal alleged that deposition of bodily fluids took place.

If the SBI did not detect sperm cells, what would that mean?

Keep in mind that Mr. Ni-nny-fong's job was to find evidence that something did happen.

Ken-ninny-hyderal;

Crystal alleged one of her assailants ejaculated in her mouth and then she spat out what was deposited there.

Was any non-degraded male DNA found in her mouth?

Ken-ninny-hyderal, if what Dr. Manly saw in Crystal's vagina was semen, why did her rape kit not test positive for semen.

If a rape victim is found to have semen in her vagina, wouldn't her clothing have semen on it. If that clothing had been tested, what is the likelihood that it would not return an abnormally high acid phosphatase level?

Ken-ninny-hyderal: "Because this enzyme[acid phosphatase] is present elsewhere in the body, however, the test is not absolute proof of it's presence or absence."

I ask again, in a rape in which semen is deposited in the victim's genitalia, what is the likelihood that testing of her clothing will not disclose abnormally high levels of acid phosphatase?

Anonymous @9:31 said: "if what Dr. Manly saw in Crystal's vagina was semen, why did her rape kit not test positive for semen" The negative finding for semen in the vagina is irrelevant, since sperm cells were detected. The vehicle for sperm delivery is semen. If sperm cells were detected one can only conclude that semen had also been present.

Anonymous @3:54 said: "If the SBI did not detect sperm cells, what would that mean?" If no condom was used that would indicate either no ejaculation occured or that there was no penetration. But it's hypothetical; sperm cells. from which DNA was extracted, were found. Five of the samples could be judged as cotemporary. Two of them were identified by Crystal's sexual history. Three remain unidentified and given her charge that she was raped, and the finding at DUMC of a fluid in her vagina, that might have been semen, along with difuse edema of the vaginal walls, efforts needed to be made to identify who this DNA belonged to. It's mute now, since the case was dropped, but before that time if anyone had been interested in clearing all
who were present identifying it's source would have been helpful

Yesterday you were implying that sperm cells were not detected and the finding of no semen was less than 100%

Today you are stating that sperm cells were detected.

What is the source of your information?

This from a summary of the Duke Rape Case:

"during Michael Nifong's ethics trial on June 14, 2007, the complete DNA findings were revealed during Brad Bannon's testimony. It revealed, according to conservative estimates, that the lab had discovered at least two unidentified males' DNA in Mangum's pubic region; at least two unidentified males' DNA in her rectum; at least four to five unidentified males' DNA on her panties; and at least one identified male's DNA in her vagina."

It says nothing about identification of sperm cells.

More from the same URL:

"DNA results revealed that the woman had sex with a man who was not a Duke lacrosse player. Attorney Joseph Cheshire said the tests indicated DNA from a single male source came from a vaginal swab taken from Mangum. Media outlets reported that this DNA was from her boyfriend. However, it was later revealed that DNA from multiple males who were neither the lacrosse players or Mangum's boyfriend had been found, but that these findings had been deliberately withheld from the Court and the defense."
