The jig is up on the widespread corrupt 2011 conspiracy against Mangum

Word count 2,720

The pieces have been in place for some time… the puzzle is complete and it exposes a conspiracy so broad in scope as to be mind-boggling… a scenario that is acceptable to all reasonable individuals, even those who are not bona fide conspiracy theorists. This 2011 murder/larceny conspiracy is much broader and more serious than the 2010 arson intrigue that put the Duke Lacrosse victim/accuser Crystal Mangum in jail for three months… but they are both similar in motive and structure.

The first degree murder charge and the “larceny of chose in action” charge against Crystal Mangum related to Reginald Daye’s death on April 13, 2011, are without doubt bogus and baseless… charges which should never have been brought against Mangum, and charges that were inspired by an unquenchable thirst by prosecutors and the misguided to exact payback for her role in the Duke Lacrosse case. The ability to bring these charges was due to complicity of many actors sharing a common desire to inflict severe grief upon Mangum. However, the lynchpin holding the conspiracy against Mangum together was the mainstream media, both local and national… for their job was most important. The media was charged with keeping the public ignorant of the misdeeds and malfeasances being perpetrated by the prosecutors, the medical examiner, and the defense attorneys. The media was also in position to try and discredit supporters of Mangum as being unstable, lawless, and irresponsible.

Since 2007, media-types prepared for this 2011 conspiracy by pulling a Jedi mind-trick on the masses of Durhamians, cultivating an irrational antipathy towards Crystal Mangum while lionizing the three Duke Lacrosse defendants (who never spent a day in jail, shook down Duke University for $20 million each, and are avariciously seeking $10 million more from the cash-strapped city of Durham). So, the culture in the Bull City is one which adores the privileged party-going student athletes from Duke, and despises the African American single mother of three who was enrolled in a graduate program at North Carolina Central University before the city took, without provocation, the liberty of trumping up a series of charges against he in 2010.

In the 2011, as in the 2010 case, Mangum was the victim of domestic physical abuse, and Durham Police and prosecutors in both cases ignored the abusers and arrested the victim. Specifically in 2011, Mangum’s abuse at the had of Daye was documented by photos showing her with a swollen lower lip, cuts around her eye, a lesion to the back of her left hand, clumps of her hair at the scene, and a bathroom door that had been kicked in by Daye as he attempted to get at her. According to Mangum, it was only after Daye was choking her with both hands that she stabbed him with a steak knife that was lying nearby… inflicting a nonfatal wound, and one that most probably saved her life. After Daye sustained the injury, Mangum as able to escape his grasp, grab her purse and flee.

Prosecutors and Durham Police need to be held accountable as to why they refused to arrest Reginald Daye and charge him with domestic violence, assault on a female, and false imprisonment, especially in lieu of the fact that Daye was intoxicated and an alcoholic, and that he had a past history of violence toward women. Instead they elect to arrest and charge Mangum for assault with intent to kill, when it is reasonable to conclude that she was physically beaten, her hair pulled out, and the bathroom door kicked in prior to Daye being stabbed. It is clearly a case of self-defense.

Even had Daye died as a direct result of the stab wound, Mangum should not have been charged with his murder due to the fact that she acted in self-defense. However, facts show that Daye’s postoperative prognosis was for a full recovery, and it is without doubt that Daye died secondary to complications of a misplaced endotracheal tube used to treat Daye for delirium tremens.

The most critical and inflammatory part of the 2011 conspiracy against Mangum is the fraudulent Autopsy Examination Report of April 14, 2011, by Orange County Medical Examiner Clay Nichols, M.D. His report contains findings not corroborated by other medical records, but some that are even contradicted. Furthermore, the conclusion reached by Dr. Nichols that Daye died due to “complications of a stab wound to the chest” is unsubstantiated and there is no nexus established with Daye’s demise.

Without doubt, Durham Prosecutor Kelly Gauger, and her replacement, Charlene Coggins-Franks, knew or should have known that the autopsy report was corrupt and not a reliable document. Abandoning their roles as “ministers of justice” these prosecutors used the fraudulent autopsy document as the basis for charging Mangum with murder. Prosecutors were driven by two motives in charging her with Daye’s death… first, to inflict severe punishment upon Mangum as a vendetta for her role in the Duke Lacrosse case, and second, to protect the reputation of Duke University Hospital whose staff was truly responsible for Daye’s death.

Prosecutor Gauger, when bringing the indictment for murder against Mangum, also were granted indictments on two counts of “larceny of chose in action,” one for each cashier’s check allegedly “stolen” by Mangum. Truth be told, Reginald Daye gave both cashier’s checks to Mangum, and they were both filled out so that she could not convert them for her profit. In addition, she made no attempt and there was no intent for her to illegally convert them… both requisites for the “larceny of chose in action” being absent. This charge was blatantly trumped up, but was necessary in order to impose the “felony-murder rule” to upgrade the charge to first degree murder. When Prosecutor Gauger got the grand jury indictments on April 18, 2011, her ambitious goal was to convict Mangum, who she knew to be innocent of any crime, and have her sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

In order for the prosecution team to pull off such a flagrant injustice, it needed not only the cooperation of the medical examiner, which it had, but even more importantly, the cooperation of Mangum’s defense attorney. They needed an unscrupulous lawyer who would pretend to make an effort to represent his client while selling Mangum down the river at the same time. There is no doubt in my mind that the defense attorneys had assurances from the Powers-That-Be that they would have immunity from the ineffective representation they provided… that such a complaint would never even see the light of an appeal. H. Wood Vann was initially selected to represent Mangum, and I strongly believe that there was a reason for his selection… that it wasn’t purely arbitrary. Then for circumstances unknown to me, Ms. Mangum replaced Mr. Vann with defense attorney Chris Shella. To my knowledge, Mr. Shella conducted no investigation, withheld prosecution discovery photographs from Mangum, and only filed several motions for bail reduction. One was heard by Duke Lacrosse Judge Osmond Smith III who should have recused himself due to conflict of interest… but he didn’t in swiftly denying bail in March 2012. Mr. Shella never challenged Smith’s being on the bench for that hearing.

Mr. Shella’s abrupt departure came after nearly a year with him sitting on the case and accomplishing nothing as his client remained in jail. It was provoked because of action taken by members of the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong who exposed problems with the prosecution’s case. Mr. Shella wisely removed himself from the case after complaining that Mangum compromised her case by giving some prosecution discovery to me, which I posted online and used to backup my claims of prosecutorial misconduct… in other words, for enlightening the public about problems with the case. The court then re-installed its initial choice to represent Ms. Mangum, Woody Vann.

Mr. Vann followed the same playbook as the prosecution, which was to keep everything about Mangum’s case hidden from the public. The reason for that is simply to conceal the great injustices that were taking place to deprive Mangum of justice. Like Shella, Vann kept important discovery away from his client Mangum… including photographs which visually support that Crystal Mangum was abused, the report by Dr. Christena L. Roberts that evaluates the autopsy report of April 14, 2011 by Clay Nichols, and the mysterious yearlong SBI wound entry trajectory study pertaining to Daye’s wound. Unlike Shella, Vann did not file any motions with the court, and he refused to even consider the possibility of filing a motion to dismiss the charge of “larceny of chose in action.” The few times that Mr. Vann came to visit Mangum was just prior to her giving interviews to the media. (Although the media is markedly prejudiced against her, having the forum to get her story out to the public outweighed the risks of the probable skewed reporting that was to follow.)

One thing that has always been consistent about Mangum’s representation is that it moves at the pace of cooled molasses flowing uphill. There never has seemed to be any urgency, with defense attorneys taking their sweet time while Mangum, under a ridiculously high bail, serves out a sentence… an acceptable practice for use against African American defendants… consider the cases of James Arthur Johnson and Carletta Patrice Alston just to name a few.

Joining the ranks of the conspirators, which includes the Durham prosecution, the Orange County Medical Examiner Nichols, and Mangum’s defense attorneys, is the largest conspirator, the mainstream media. The media’s involvement is a vital one, and necessary for the prosecution to get away with its charges against Mangum. Acting to conceal important information, the media has adroitly acted to cover-up the gross unfairness and bias in the charges and court proceedings against Mangum. It has also played a diversionary role by placing its focus on Mangum supporters. For example, “more than one journalist” was responsible for prodding the North Carolina State Bar into investigating me for the unlawful practice of law. To hide the identities of these activist media-types, the Bar elected to own the complaint and listed itself as the complainant. The “investigation into this Mangum supporter” was given more coverage that the important issues about Mangum’s unjust charges and her ineffective defense.

The media definitely excelled in keeping the people ignorant of the truth about Mangum’s case and spinning it to her disadvantage. Specifically, the media barely mentioned that Daye was heavily intoxicated, that he was an alcoholic, and that he had a past history of abusing women. The media was quick to erroneously state that Daye was stabbed repeatedly, and kept quiet about any alleged “motive” for Mangum to stab Daye… not giving credence to self-defense. A self-imposed media blackout on Daye occurred during his weeklong coma, and his unconscious state was only mentioned after his death. In reporting his death, I only found one source that said he was on life-support and that its removal precipitated his death. The local media, which has been consumed with obtaining copies of former UNC football coach Butch Davis and uncovering the names of the UNC football players whose parking tickets were forgiven, have shown no interest when it comes to problems with the autopsy report and its significant discrepancies with other medical records. A media apathy also swirls around issues concerning Daye’s death and its real cause which was medical malpractice (although a hospital homicide cannot be ruled out).

To an objective and reasonable observer with full knowledge of the facts of the media coverage of Crystal Mangum’s case, it is obvious that its goal was to shift blame for Daye’s death from Duke University Hospital to Mangum, and to work with their co-conspirators by keeping crucial information from the people… a grand large scale nationwide cover-up. Let there be no doubt that the orders dictating how this case was to be handled came from the higher echelons of the media sources as they had an understanding that their reporting was to help determine the case’s outcome.

Now that you have the major conspirators revealed (Durham prosecutor, Orange County Medical Examiner, Mangum’s attorneys, and the mainstream media – both local and national), the final ingredient for this perfect recipe of injustice is the enablers. The enablers are individuals and organizations with the clout, prestige, influence and power to make a difference, but remain idly by and say nothing. This group I find most frustrating… but to an extent, I understand their reluctance to get involved. Simply put, they lack courage. After witnessing what happened to former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong when he followed his conscience and proceeded with an unpopular prosecution of the three Duke Lacrosse players in 2006, politicians learned of the harsh consequences that oft-times accompany supporting a politically incorrect position. Siding with Mangum is a taboo proposition that is analogous to juggling vials of unstable nitroglycerin… do so at your own risk, and may politicians, attorneys and other professionals are not willing to sacrifice their reputations and careers in an attempt to seek justice for a media maligned African American single mother who is held in contempt by an overwhelming number of Durhamians and Tar Heelians.

Members of the Durham City Council and the North Carolina General Assembly were made aware of the injustices and ignored pleas to get involved… even those in Durham who represented her, such as Senator Floyd McKissick, and Representatives Larry Hall and Mickey Michaux, and Congressman David Price. The NAACP, likewise, has remained silent as a dormouse about Crystal Mangum being deprived of her civil rights, as has the ACLU. The North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence has once again refused to lift a finger or utter a word about Mangum’s double mistreatment by her abuser and the justice system (this group had previously failed to take any action about the 2010 domestic violence against Mangum).

Had these individuals and organizations gotten involved, the broad 2011 conspiracy against Mangum would not have become so entrenched. Because of their silence and inactivity, the enablers share the culpability of the great injustice against Crystal Mangum.

Yes, the jig of injustice against Mangum is up, and the Durham prosecution should drop all criminal charges related to the 2011 incident and release Mangum from jail. Failing that, the following steps, at a minimum, should be taken:
(1) dismiss the “larceny of chose in action” charge as it lacks credible evidence and probable cause;
(2) force Mr. Vann to turn over all prosecution discovery and evidence to Mangum;
(3) remove Mr. Vann as the defense attorney for Mangum;
(4) release Mangum on her own recognizance;
(5) investigate the discrepancies in the autopsy report and other medical records and police reports; and
(6) investigate circumstances of Daye’s death to rule out hospital homicide.

The above actions will not only accrue to the benefit of justice, but help reduce the city of Durham’s running tab for the prosecutorial civil liability for the malicious prosecution and unjust incarceration of Mangum. As it is, the county has already wasted taxpayer dollars to pay for the sham prosecution on bogus charges, and for Mangum to be held at the Durham County Detention Center.

Today marks the five hundredth day of Mangum’s wrongful incarceration on bogus and trumped up charges. Consider that the Duke Lacrosse defendants are suing the city of Durham for $10 million each, and they never spent a single day in jail… plus they have no credible evidence that they were maliciously charged by the state. The Duke Lacrosse players have no explanation for their demands for money from the city other than an overblown sense of entitlement that often accompanies those who come from families of wealth, power, and privilege… such as their carpetbagger families. If anyone is deserving of ten million dollars from the city, it is Crystal Mangum.

Conspirators need to give it up and cut their losses. The jig is up, and although the media continues to try to keep the truth about Mangum’s prosecution hidden from all, with the help of the courageous members of the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong, the truth will see the light of day, sooner rather than later, and at long last justice will prevail.

You do Ms. Mangum no favors. While I would agree with you that her trial needs to occur sooner rather than later - the fact that no date has been set has to do with interference from you more than anything else.

Let her attorney of record (someone recognized as such by the NC Bar) do his job. If you are so interested in legal matters, apply for, attend law school, take the bar exam and pass it, AND then hang out your shingle. Until then, let those who are lawyers do their jobs.

Walt, what you keep ignoring is the fact that if Reginald Daye had not struck Crystal in the head and face approximately ten times, spit on her, gouged at her left eye with his fingernails, thrown steak knives at her (which he brought into the bedroom), kicked in the locked bathroom door to get at her, and chocked her, she would not have stabbed him.

Intern, you're being funny, right? Daye was very much alive... for several days before lapsing into an iatrogenic induced coma. Daye should have been placed under arrested and charged at the scene or at the hospital within hours of the stabbing.

Unfortunately the lawyers from both sides are doing their jobs, which is to protect Duke University Hospital's reputation and the Orange County Medical Examiner, to protect Durham from civil liability which it has incurred, and to throw Mangum under the bus to the wolves.

Truth is Mangum's only allie... and it will set her free, not an attorney.

That's a nice story Sid, but the mug shot doesn't confirm that her left eye was gouged out. She's had months to make up this latest story and it still doesn't fit the circumstantial evidence. Try again Sid.

There is no evidence that Reginald Daye's death was the result of any medical error at Duke.

Some of the criticism of Sidney is harsh. I believe he has concluded that Crystal is being treated unfairly and genuinely is trying to help her.

I sympathize with his frustration with the slow pace of the NC justice system. His intervention may have resulted in recent delays. However, there is no valid excuse that the case had not come to trial in the year before he drafted motions. The system is broken.

Despite the delays, Sidney fails to understand how the system fails to work. He blames the defense attorneys for not filing motions. NC courts do not hear motions until discovery is complete.

Yet there is no requirement to complete discovery on a timely basis. In the past, Sidney supported a prosecutor's ability to delay. I understand his frustration with Shella and Vann, but the system is the problem.

He complains that the DPD didn't investigate. If Crystal claimed self-defense that night and had injuries to support it, Sidney is correct. However, in the past he has supported a failure to investigate. An allegation alone is enough to support an arrest and prosecution.

On the other hand, Sidney has compromised Crystal's defense.

He put Crystal on the record. Her testimony will be tested against this. In his effort to get her story out, he may have put Crystal on the record with conflicting stories. Sidney's interview of Crystal changes important details of the story she told to his "sources."

They fought over rent. No. Daye was jealous.

Crystal bought the checks, and she couldn't steal from herself. No. Daye bought the checks, and he gave them to Crystal.

Walt is correct. With friends like Sidney, Crystal doesn't need enemies.

The criticism of harr is completely justified. His motive has nothing to do with mangum. All he wants is attention for himself. Harr is a racist , an apologist, an excuse maker, a teller of tales, and a sad little man. His butting in has done nothing for mangum but hurt her. He has not raised one cent of bail money. He has not offered to pay for an attorney. He is a cheap poorly informed and poorly educated man, trying to be clever, and trying to make himself bigger. What a waste of bandwidth.

H-supporter, let me make it clear that the earlier statements came from sources that were evidently not accurate. The statements about what transpired from Mangum, herself, have always been consistent and are the ones that the court should consider.

Now where in tarnation did you come up with the conclusion that I supported prosecutorial delays in the past? That's blasphemy! Prosecutorial delays are used along with high bail to force defendants to serve a sentence before the fact... before a conviction. It is a process that is especially discriminatory to the indigent and disenfranchised.

What I accuse Mangum's defense attorneys of is much more sinister than failing to file motions... they are part of a conspiracy working with the prosecutors to protect Duke University and the City of Durham from liability for malicious prosecution. The plan is for the defense attorney to try and force Mangum to accept a plea deal for some charge in exchange for a sentence of time served. Also her attorneys are in place to obstruct and hinder Mangum rather than help her prevail. Woody Vann needs to step down from representing her. That much is clear.

Thereby go ye enlightened.

Sidney,
I don't understand why you say the "The jig is up". Usually, thieves and other evil-doers use that phrase to mean that the authorities are somehow on to them. In that case they might "cut their losses" by confessing or otherwise trying to make amends. In this case, however, only you and your merry band -- the J4N committee, plus Kenhyderal and Malek Williams (if he exists) -- believe all that you're saying. No one -- no one with any authority, that is -- is going to act against the prosecutors, etc. who you say are conspiring against poor CGM. Unless you can give a reasonable proof of what you're saying, the jig is not up.
If you and your friends want to help Crystal, try to get her the bail money. If you feel she has such poor representation, try to hire a better attorney for her. Until you do so, you're not helping her. And please don't tell us that "the truth will set her free"; you've been saying this for months and CGM is still in jail after 500 days.

What is consistent about Crystal is that she is a consistent liar. So, her account of what happened is not worth acceptance on face value.

The innocent, falsely accused Lacrosse players consistently maintained their innocence. By your criterion, their innocence should be accepted. You insist they are not innocent.

If that is truly clear, then why do you and your J4N gang raise money and retain a different attorney to represent her? It's calling putting your money where your mouth is. Where your mouth is, your money has been forever absent.

One thing to consider about legal representation for Crystal is that no reputable attorney would willingly represent her in this case.

"Prosecutorial delays are used along with high bail to force defendants to serve a sentence before the fact... before a conviction. It is a process that is especially discriminatory to the indigent and disenfranchised."

That is what corrupt DA NIFONG tried to do to the innocent, falsely accused Lacrosse players. There is nothing in the public record that you ever called him to task for it. You repeatedly blog that DA NIFONG was a decent, ethical prosecutor who would never do anything improper.


Mr. Nifong is a decent and ethical prosecutor, but the Duke Lacrosse case is much different than the situation with Crystal Mangum. She is in jail while prosecution drags its feet, whereas the Duke Lacrosse defendants never spent a day in jail and any delays by the prosecution did not have an effect on their liberty. Big difference.

That you call DA NIFONG is a decent and ethical prosecutor shows, again, you are out of touch with reality and, again, makes me think you are possibly schizophrenic.

One significant factor about the Duke Lacrosse case which you try to lie about is that they committed no crime, they were prosecuted for political reasons because they were falsely accused.

They were not incarcerated because they made bail, something you and your gang have not helped Crystal do.

And as they were innocent of any crime, there was no justification of putting them behind bars.

Here is the difference.

You and the other Mangum "supporters" are too cheap to put your money where your mouths are. Her bail of $200,000 is the second lowest of all of those incarcerated in the Durham jail and charged with murder. Bail her out if jail time is the only measure of misconduct.

Is jail time the only measure of misconduct?

Sid, how much time in jail did you spend in connection with Duke's decision to throw you off campus? None? Then I guess you had no reason to complain.

Sidney claims: let me make it clear that the earlier statements came from sources that were evidently not accurate.

When you printed the statements from your "sources," you vouched for your sources' credibility. It is not enough that you now claim that the information was "not accurate."

Your "sources" provided information that only Crystal or Daye could have provided. Daye was not the likely source of that information. As a result, you implied that you were confident your "sources" had received information from Crystal (if Crystal was not your "source").

I believe there are 3 possible explanations.

1. You lied. You invented your sources to give yourself cover to make up a story with Crystal as victim.

2. Your "sources" lied. They did not give you information they received from Crystal.

3. Crystal lied. Your "sources" accurately passed on information they received from Crystal. Crystal subsequently changed her story.

Many of your readers have concluded that you are a liar and invented your "sources." I do not share that belief.

Sidney, you are covering up for a liar. If your "sources" lied to you as you now suggest, they are not worthy of your protection. Your failure to explain how your "sources" fooled you so badly leads me to believe that you are trying to protect Crystal.

In your zeal to provide Crystal's side of the story, you have once again shown that Crystal cannot be trusted.

To be honestly truthful, I've been busy trying to get the bogus trumped up charges against Mangum dismissed to waste time with the so-called "arson" case. Officer Tyler is no hero in my book, for regardless of who started the fire, he allowed it to burn causing severe smoke damage, and he was responsible for rousting two dozen of Durham's bravest out of bed in the middle of the night for a bathtub confined blaze that a five year old could have doused... and he did it all just for the diabolical purpose of charging Mangum with a more serious charge.

Why don't you continue to worship Officer Tyler and send him a nice card.

It is not against the law to be intoxicated with alcohol, but it is unlawful to commit, without provocation, assault and battery upon a female and to hold said person against her will.

If you'll read the medical records (taken from prosecution discovery) you'll see that Daye was precisely begun on sedatives to prophylactically prevent delirium tremens. Yes, Mr. Daye was an alcoholic, even if M.E. Nichols neglected to indicate so in his autopsy report.

Thereby go ye enlightened.

If the blaze was confined to the bathtub and could have been doused by a 5 year old, it is unlikely it could have caused major smoke damage.

If your learned about the fire from inaccurate sources, how can you be so sure it was confined to the bath tub and could have been easily extinguished?

Sounds something like Crystal made up after she was charged with Murder 1 and incarcerated because none of her so called friends wanted to help her make bail.

You know nothing about the reasons daye was put on the meds he received and why these meds were given. Moreover, you kow nothing about what happened in that apartment that night.....except the lies you offer from the serial liar mangum.

Please notice that Harr refuses to answer direct questions. When he does finally get around to responding to questions, he just restates his same old tired explanations....which are nothing more than fabrications from Mangum and himself. For example, he has been directly confronted with the obvious issue that there is not one single bit of physical evidence to back up mangum's claim of this terrible beating and choking she supposedly took. Her mug shot shows no evidence of a beating. One officer noted a slight laceration/abrasion under her eye that could have been there already. It did not require treatment. Another officer did not note this at all and said she had no apparent injuries. She was examined and found to have no injuries.....including no choke marks. There is nothing in the documents about her hair being pulled out, either. Harr has been asked repeatedly how he can explain the obvious LACK of physical evidence to support the claim of this sheer hour of terror. Yet, not once, not ONCE has responded with anything but his silly restatement of the same bull.

For you to contend that an inaccurate statement is the product of a lie is false because a lie implies an intent to deceive. Because I may have presented incorrect statements that I believed to be true does not make them lies. Likewise, I do not believe my sources lied to me... they just gave me wrong information.

The statements I attribute to Crystal came directly from her and represent the definitive word on the subject.

Unlike others, I admit when my statements are factually in error. My endeavor is to enlighten, not misguide.

Don't count on the case going to trial because Duke University does not want to risk it being brought out in court that Daye's death was due to a botched intubation and had nothing to do with the stab wound. However, even if the case went to trial, there is the distinct possibility that Vann, or whoever is representing Mangum, would skirt around Daye's true cause of death in order to appease the powerful Duke Machine.

If Mangum were to take the stand in her own defense, she would present a logical, orderly and believeable narrative that would support her innocence. You are in for a terrible disappointment if you expect her to disintegrate on the witness stand... you have been misguided by the media into having low expectations of her.

If you want to be entertained, wait a couple of months when I will post my animated harrtoon.

A Durham Police officer described Mangum's swollen lower lip as being chapped... which questions her motivation in the report. If you would like to see photographs of Mangum's injuries and photos of other incriminating evidence showing that she was abused by Daye, why don't you write Mr. Vann and ask him to release the prosecution discovery (including copies of the photographs) to his client, as he is required to do by law. Then the world will be able to see the injuries she sustained at Daye's hand.

Apparently YOU have not seen these supposed photos showing injuries, either......so YOU continue to base your story on Mangum's version of events. Mangum has a documented history of LYING.

Isn't it interesting how Sid and the gang ignore the physical evidence when it does not support their made up version? The mug shot shows no gouged left eye, yet Sid claims otherwise. The police report shows no split lip, the mug shot confirms the police report, yet Sid claims otherwise. Sid says Crystal claims she hid in the bathroom, yet the police report says no sign of forced entry into the bathroom. (Bathrooms seem to loom large in Crystal's previous untruthful accountings.)

Sid again spills out the defense theory giving it to the D.A. for no good reason. I suppose he's trying to test if a bunch of blog hooligans might believe it, or if we tear it apart. Well Sid, your latest rendition isn't working. I guess it's back to the drawing board.

She's never done that before.

"
Don't count on the case going to trial because Duke University does not want to risk it being brought out in court that Daye's death was due to a botched intubation and had nothing to do with the stab wound. However, even if the case went to trial, there is the distinct possibility that Vann, or whoever is representing Mangum, would skirt around Daye's true cause of death in order to appease the powerful Duke Machine."

The evidence from the medical records which you illegally accessed and published show that Reginald Daye's death was not the result of Malprctice on the part of Duke University Hospital.

Is thi the animated "harrtoon" which you think will entertain us?

Unlike others, I admit when my statements are factually in error. My endeavor is to enlighten, not misguide."

A lot of the statements which you now say were inaccurate probably came from Crystal, although you are loath to admit it. That is why people believe she will decompensate on the stand.

If you were trying to enlighten, you would not be loathe to admit that the innocent, falsely accused Lacrosse players actually are innocent.

" If you would like to see photographs of Mangum's injuries and photos of other incriminating evidence showing that she was abused by Daye, why don't you write Mr. Vann and ask him to release the prosecution discovery (including copies of the photographs) to his client, as he is required to do by law."

You are still trying, via Crystal, to access the prosecution's discovery file, something to which you are not legally entitled.

Filing motions which illustrate your lack of contact with reality give you no legal standing in the case.

You state the innocent Lacrosse players are not innocent, which statement is factually in error.
