"Sorry. There was a lull in the rain. I reached the library dry and intact. I will post the blog in a few minutes. Enjoy."

But the water running off your carcass has seriously polluted Ealeigh.


Your comment lacks logic. First and foremost, I am DRY. I made it to the library, and therefore the computer dry. Therefore, how can water be running off my body (or as you put it, carcass)? Doesn't make sense.

Anyway, look at the sharlog and try to address the important issues posed by the sharlog: namely, do you agree with the probation sentence? do you believe that Sharad Amtey died due to natural causes, strangulation, or "complications of an assault"?

Dr. Harr,

Finally, the media’s best kept secret from the public. Find out the real link between the Carpetbagger families of the Duke Lacrosse defendants and the media. Visit the following link. I welcome your response.

As I have so frequently stated, the Grievance Commission of the North Carolina State Bar used all of the creative juices it could muster to come up with an excuse for disbarring former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong. They are so elaborate and nonsensical that not even Nifong bashers can make sense of them. The problem stems from the fact that no one can explain why Mike Nifong was disbarred… the only prosecutor to be disbarred by the North Carolina State Bar since its inception in 1933. He certainly did not withhold discovery from defense attorneys of the Duke Lacrosse defendants. He had his staff deliver more than a thousand pages of discovery in three sets to attorneys for the defendants within 24 hours of the defense’s motion. What the media doesn’t want the public to know is that defense attorneys did not reciprocate when prosecutors sought discovery held by defense.

Probably because you went into a restroom, towelled of, then wrung the towel out some where in the stacks.

What does not make sense is why the library authorities would allow you to drip corruption in the library.

I have read the opening of the sharlog. You start of with a lie. You claim Crystal was convicted after a whirlwind trial. Not true. You mae a habit of lying.Why should any one believe you?

From what I have read so far, Mrs. Amtey went after her rather frail husband. He would not have died had she not assaulted him. Just like eginald Daye would not have died if Crystal not stabbed him

It's the same crap Sid has been spewing. He ignores that the autopsy was reviewed by Dr. Roberts - and errors were found, but the conclusion was confirmed, so she wasn't exculpatory. DT's were ruled out.

He's doing his same whining that he disagrees with the conclusion, and therefore the conclusion must be wrong. He doesn't want an investigation, he wants someone to agree with him - because he's never wrong (even when he is - though he's refused to admit it).

I really hope Sid understands everyone but Tin-Foil considers him a joke, and is just having fun with this, and doesn't think anyone really takes him seriously.

He refuses to engage in an honest discussion about anything, so how could he be taken seriously? Either you agree with him, despite evidence, or you are wrong.

Anonymous said...

Dr. Harr,

I think it was complications of an assualt, which the strangulation itself may not have caused the death, but the health condition that the victim suffered was exacerbated by the strangulation event - causing death. Of course, I have only the news coverage to go on to make that judgement. Sad case.

How can Dr. Radissh (sp?) say that Dr. Nichols' autopsy report was appropriate and 'correct', when even Dr. Nichols himself testified that the report was erroneous on some issues - and the second exceedingly tardy M.E. report stated on record that Dr. Nichols report was seriously deficient of the truth and professionalism and 'correctness'?

This state seriously has major issues. Who is in charge of the M.E. system? Ms. Woos and then the governor right? Looks like you have some more letters to write and document here to see what they have to say about these issues and her written reply. Remembering, of course, that if they do not respond or deal with the issues, (since they are responsible for doing just that), it then becomes professional neglect and contributing to potential harm and even death, and continued errors in all future M.E. reports, for ALL NC citizens and visitors to this state.

This places all under undue threat of harm,(like for example the case of the six year old dying of the carbon monoxide poisoning mentioned in the news).

If you send a copy of any letters you may write to Ms. Woos and the governor to the news outlets as well, you can also document their responses here - or lack thereof on these serious M.E. issues that have potential to negatively affect all.

Dr. Harr,

This seems like a serious legal issue involving the case, since now the head of the M.E. system is in essence saying that Dr. Nichols lied on the stand that his own report is wrong, and that the second M.E. from Va. doesn't know what the heck she is talking about in her report that contradicts Dr. Nichol's report but is more in-line with Duke's medical reports.

What to do about this now?

I know that you are a doctor and do not want to harm another doctor noted by you're excusing Dr. Nichols of his fraud and wrongfully accusing and contributing to the wrongful imprisonment of Ms. Mangum, but this is not the first and only case that is documented that he has made errors that have caused major legal issues with other murder cases. A lot of harm has been done, and obviously will continue unabated as evidenced by the head of the M.E. system's lack of professional reponsibility for these issues with the potential to cause harm to many.

Tin-Foil Hat said...


I am not alone in my view that the prosecution and persecution of Crystal Gail Mangum is nothing more than a vendetta by the state and the mainstream media because of her role as a victim and accuser in the Duke Lacrosse case of March 2006. Although many people share my view that Mangum is a victim of vindictiveness spawned ultimately by the actions of the Carpetbagger Duke Lacrosse defendants’ families, few of them are willing to publicly express it.

Dr. Harr,

By stating that Dr. Nichols' autopsy report is 'correct', the head of the N.C. Medical Examiner system has in essense now stated that Duke is lying about what they did to Mr. Daye to cause his brain death, (if they did), and his ultimate death by their placement and removal of their life support machines. I wonder if she realizes that and what she plans to do about the serious issues with Duke's malpractice and/or lying about it that she is in essence claiming in her response to you.

Anonymous said...

... well actually she is agreeing with Dr. Nichols that whatever Duke documented in their medical reports that they did for and/or to Mr. Daye - Duke was lying about it all. There is no other way to interpret it.

Anonymous said...

How could Dr. Nichols even justify that the death was a casualty of the knife wound, when in essense he is claiming that Duke did not treat the lung infection or any of the other wounds as noted by the discrepancies between the Duke medical reports and his autopsy report at all. So therefore Duke is quilty of serious medical negligence and malpractice by not even providing Mr. Daye with basic life saving medical services that Dr. Nichols claims would be necessary in order for Mr. Daye to survive the defensive knife wounds as noted on his autopsy report and in direct contridiction to Duke's medical reports. Nothing.

It still amuses me that Sid's ego is so big that he assumes that since no one involved in the case would talk to him (because he proved he could not be trusted to keep confidence), that they must not have asked any of these questions or done any of these investigations. Rather than realize they were likely done, and the answers weren't helpful to Crystal, he assumes they just weren't done.

It must be hard having the world so revolve around you that if you aren't told something you just assume it didn't happen.

"and do not want to harm another doctor:

ARE YOU SERIOUS???!!!


"noted by you're excusing Dr. Nichols of his fraud"

Impossible since Dr. Nichols committed no fraud.


"and wrongfully accusing and contributing to the wrongful imprisonment of Ms. Mangum,"

Also impossible. Crystal committrd murder

"but this is not the first and only case that is documented that he has made errors that have caused major legal issues with other murder cases."

It is not even the first. It is not even the first. It is not the first instance in which Sidney tries to claim he s brilliant after showing what an idiot he is.

No, SIDNEY the minimally trained,minimally experienced person with MD inappropriately to his name is fantasizing about what caused Mr. Daye's death. His death was a direct result of the stab wound inflicted by Crystal.

"(if they did), and his ultimate death by their placement and removal of their life support machines."

The need to institute life support would never have arisen had Crystal not stabbed Mr. Daye.

"I wonder if she realizes that and what she plans to do about the serious issues with Duke's malpractice and/or lying about it that she is in essence claiming in her response to you."

Judging from how she behaved at the end of the duke rape hoax, she is not capable of that kind of planning.

Or is she planning to deal with the way dealt with the rape hoax, continue to lie about it

Many people keep their feelings about this case bundled up inside because they lack the will to do anything to rectify the failings of the state’s justice system. Others remain quiet because they lack the courage to take a righteous stand against an unpopular position. This is understandable after witnessing the brutalization of former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong by the state and the media for his actions in doing the right thing in prosecuting the Duke Lacrosse case. Courageously prosecuting the Duke case in the true sense as a “minister of justice,” he butted heads with the Powers-That-Be who demanded that the charges against the student/athlete/partygoers be dropped. As a result, the state went through extraordinary means to make an example of Mr. Nifong… something which they did very well, as is evidenced by the fact that there is little if any movement to go against the Powers’ will by offering support to Ms. Mangum.

Sid - you keep insisting Crystal is innocent - but you ignore that she stabbed Daye.

So, do you believe that she acted in self-defense, in which case the cause of death and medical treatment was/is totally irrelevant (though on this blog you and others once said she should not argue self-defense because then she would be admitting to first-degree murder, something that is completely and totally legally incorrect - she'd just be admitting to stabbing).

If she was not acting in self-defense, then the medical treatment would only be relevant for manslaughter v. murder.

So, did the jury get self-defense wrong, you believe she is totally innocent, and all your blathering about the treatment is irrelevant, or do you think she was not acting in self defense?

Dr. Nichols conveniently omitted the events that contributed to Daye’s death that included delirium tremens, an esophageal intubation that precipitated cardiac arrest and brain death, a weeklong comatose state, and the elective removal from life support by the medical staff at Duke University Hospital that resulted in Daye’s demise.

The autopsy report can be compared with other medical records and documents in order to support the premise that the true cause of Daye’s death had nothing to do with the stab wound, but rather the errantly placed endotracheal tube.

That the North Carolina justice system has been hijacked is realized by the fact that the mainstream media, politicians, civil rights organization, and community leaders, despite having full knowledge of the significant problems with the autopsy report and prosecution’s case against Mangum, have elected to remain mute and idle… acting as enablers or conspirators after the fact. No one has Nifongian courage to challenge the blatant and disparate legal mistreatment of Crystal Mangum by the state.

Except, as has been noted - the autopsy was reviewed by an expert, who discussed each of those issues, and addressed the discrepancies between the autopsy and the medical records, and discussed the injury and course of treatment, and concluded that while the report was sloppy, the cause of death was correct - Complications from the stab wound.


You can scream all you want in disagreement with the investigation, but please stop pretending one wasn't done. It was done, it just didn't agree with Sid's paranoid worldview, so he disregards it.

The governor is not accessible to anyone except his big donors, cronies, and GOP mucky-mucks. McCrory turns a blind eye and a deaf ear towards ordinary Tar Heelians with serious concerns. It's very sad.

I will produce those correspondences to Wos and the governor in the future.

I do not ignore that Mangum stabbed Daye... she did. However, the stab wound was not life-threatening. It was successfully treated by Duke trauma surgeons and Daye had a post-operative prognosis for a full recovery. It was the esophageal intubation that precipitated a cascade of events that resulted in Daye's death.

As far as stabbing Daye, I believe she did so in self-defense... after all prior to the stabbing Daye had busted down the locked bathroom door and dragged her out by her hair. Keep in mind that Daye was never charged with assault and battery for that. Instead, the prosecution painted him as a saint... something which Mangum's turncoat attorney Meier didn't challenge.

Had Crystal not stabbed him, Duke wouldn't have been treating him, and he wouldn't have died.

Meier brought all of that up - he repeated it frequently throughout the trial and in his closing. So, that's obviously not what Sid is referring to. Why can't you understand that?

Anonymous said...

Remember - the only real dispute in this case (despite Sid's claims - but certainly as far as self-defense)is what happened after Daye pulled Crystal out of the bathroom.

Did he let her go, and she ran into the kitchen to get a knife and come back at him as he says (which means no self-defense, and is what happened with Milton Walker, which is why that testimony hurt so bad); or

Was he holding her down and choking her when she grabbed a knife to stab him and get him off of her, as she says (which means self-defense).

The jury believed him, hence no self-defense. There was no dispute there was a fight, no dispute he kicked in the door and drug her out. It all comes down to what happened next, and the jury believed Daye's version, not Crystal's.

Basically, no matter what happened earlier, she ceased being the aggressor when she she went into the bathroom. But, if he did let her go and went to leave, then he ceased being the aggressor after the bathroom.

It's all who the jury believed about where the stabbing took place - and they believed Daye, not Crystal. It wouldn't matter if Daye had hit her before, or not (she said not, though she is changing that story), or anything else. If he let her go, and she ran to get a knife and came back at him - no self-defense.

guiowen said...

The problem, as I see it, is that, after the run-in with Milton Walker, her "friends", such as Sidney and Kenhyderal, could have explained to her that she had just dodged a bullet, and encouraged her to seek some sort of psychological help. Instead, they told her, essentially, that she could get away with just about anything because she had their help, since Sidney, the physician, and Kenny, the master debater, would prove she was always innocent. Thus the next time one of her boyfriends disrespected her, she lost her temper and decided to show him who was boss.
Well, we all know how that turned out.

Anonymous said...

Yes and THAT issue did not get resolved with sufficient evidence - so therefore there was not sufficient evidence but there was sufficent reasonable doubt to preclude determining the case on that issue alone.

In addition - apparently the jury was highly questionable in its selection orchestrated by Mr. Meire and the Duke/Durham justice system to be considered fair, reasonable, or free from bias, undue influence and conflict of interests, as well as possible prejudice and discrimination which no one would agree to unless they held the same bias, conflict-of-interest, prejudice and discrimination, and/or were seriously uninformed about the Duke lacrosse case and the hatred that Duke and many of its supporters visibly demonstrate and hold toward Ms. Mangum.

So what's your point?

Anonymous said...

Other than the recent comments Sid is continuing to shit out all over this board, what evidence do you have that there were problems with the Jury selection? There was the issue with a juror, and it was addressed.

Dr. Harr,

Perhaps if you write a letter of reply to Dr. Radish with the facts of the discrepancies between ALL the medical records and How, Why, When, etc. they were or were not presented into the case - and the consequences of those actions or non-actions, AND copy Dr. Wos and Govenor McCory, AND ask for IMMEDIATE EXPLANATION and relief for the false imprisonment of Ms. Mangum - basing it all on Dr. Radish's highly questionable, unprofessional and negligent reply to you so far, AND document it here for public record so they can not just continue to ignore the issues ... perhaps that might 'work'?

p.s. do not use adjetives to describe what happened - use legally recognized adverbs like professional negligence, fraud, conflict of interest, bias, etc. Also write like the clique - 'just the facts maam'. Try that instead.

p.s.s. like actually show what duke lied about if Dr. Nichols record IS correct as Dr. Radish states, what they lied about if Dr. Nichols admission that his own report contained errors, and then what they lied about if Dr. Roberts version is to be believed. Like that.

Yeah, I've googled it, and can't find anything that remotely rises to the level of a conflict - as anyone with a brain who isn't a paranoid delusional individual can see. And, you know that, hence you just scream troll rather than answer.

Why would working for some healthcare companies in Texas in the 1990s be a conflict with Duke (who wasn't even in this case)?

ok - prove that Mr. Meier didn't represent Mr. Young in the civil case, (after getting his criminal case dismissed), because he disagreed with his client's son for what he (and his team) allegedy did to Ms. Mangum that he then became an excellent choice of lawyers with no conflict of interest to duke or the duke lacrosse team and their families to subsequently represent her in a murder trial.

Anonymous said...

What evidence do you have that Meier represented (or represents) Spencer Young in a civil suit? There is nothing on Young's website about a civil suit that Meier is handling, and in fact, Mr. Young seems awfully upset with Meier for limiting his representation only to the criminal charges.

You are the one asserting a conflict, you'd have to prove a conflict exists - legally the presumption is no conflict - but the law has never been something you paid attention to.

I can't prove a negative - there is zero evidence that Meier represents Young in a civil suit, so that's proof. If you can find proof that there is such a civil suit - it still wouldn't rise to a conflict, but there is no evidence of a civil suit.

Anonymous said...

And, given how much venom Mr. Young is still spewing at Meier, and about 40 other people (claiming to have filed criminal charges against them with the FBI), I doubt he and Meier are on such good terms that Meier would be representing him on anything.

So BZZZZ you are wrong again! But, I know you won't try again, you will just scream troll.

But I am still curious if you have any proof of a conflict.

Who is going to make him? You? Of course you don't have to prove anything, you have no evidence - you just spout off like Sid. The only person who could complain about the representation is Mangum, and so far as I have seen (though I doubt it would be public) she hasn't formally filed any complaints or issues.

And, ask Walt and A Lawyer - the presumption is no conflict - Meier doesn't have to prove anything. Someone who wants to accuse him of a conflict would have to present evidence of a conflict, and he would have to explain that. But, absent proof/evidence - again, it's impossible to prove a negative, so he has nothing to prove.

Yeah but Sid is as pathetic as you in his inability to actually defend his position. Neither one of you can argue out of a wet paper bag - if either of you had any legitimate issues, you could defend your positions. You can;'t, so you say anyone who disagrees is a troll or a liar. i really hope this is a joke for you, cause if your life is really this pathetic and devoid of ability to reason you deserve what you get.

either way you look at it Mr. Meier has a conflict

go see how Mr. Young feels about Mr. Meier representing Ms. Mangum then if you think you are right

and tell us how the wet bag escaping by argument attempt works out for ya while your at it

we all await your evidence laden proof and conclusions ...

You haven't proven any conflict - Meier representing Young on unrelated criminal charges doesn't remotely create a conflict.

Didn't forget the other half - it was already established that working for hospitals in Texas in the 1990s doesn't create a conflict. It's just sad that you keep bringing up the same wrong stuff expecting a different result - you know that's often cited as the definition of insanity.

WRONG-O!! Daye would not have died had Duke University Hospital staff not intubated him in the esophagus! Can you recognize the difference?


Can you recognize that if Crystal hadn't stabbed him, he wouldn't have been in the hospital for the Duke University Hospital Staff to intubate him in the first place?

Had Crystal not stabbed him, Duke wouldn't have been treating him, and he wouldn't have died.

Comprende?


Your statement makes as much sense as the following: If Daye wouldn't have been born, he wouldn't have died.

no - he said that Mr. Daye busted down the door and dragged her out by the hair which is obvious by the evidence and by his own admission

why don't YOU understand that?



Meier brought all of that up - he repeated it frequently throughout the trial and in his closing. So, that's obviously not what Sid is referring to. Why can't you understand that?


Prosecutors repeatedly stated how kind and gentle Daye was... what a good and decent person... non-violent, etc.

Turncoat Meier didn't challenge this portrayal by bringing up his past criminal record, his drug abuse record and alcoholism, the fact that he was intoxicated. Turncoat Meier never conducted an investigation to interview other girlfriends of Daye's who were alleged to have been abused. Plus Turncoat never mentioned the prior incident of physical abuse by Daye which sent Mangum to the urgent care center... about a week before the stabbing. Meier was content to let prosecution paint Daye as a saint instead of a drunk, jealous, alcoholic abuser the night of the stabbing.

Haven't heard many comments about the legal treatment of Dottie Amtey... Do you think she received a fair sentence (probation for a plea of voluntary manslaughter)?
Do you think Judge Fox was correct in refusing to give her jail time because of the screwed up autopsy reports by the medical examiners?
Do you think Dr. Nichols' explanation that Sharad Amtey died of a heart attack and not strangulation is valid and warranted a charge of assault and not murder/manslaughter?
C'mon, commenters... Address the issues!!!

guiowen said...

Sidney,
As far as the Amtey case, I guess the question is whether he would have died without her actions.
I imagine there is a possibility that she assaulted him and he had a heart attack at that time. If so, he would have died anyway. Her actions did not contribute to his death.

Anonymous said...

Regarding the Amtey case - I have no real information on the case, but what the media has reported, and you yourself repeatedly point out how incorrect, unreliable, and twisted media accounts can be - and while you love jumping to unsupported conclusions, and making dramatic leaps of faith and accusations with no real facts, most of the people on this board don't share your penchant for doing that. You need to lure Kenny back if you want a syncophant other than tin-foil hat.

Anonymous said...

Remember, Crystal could have been convicted of manslaughter as well, but the Jury found that she stabbed him with malice, which is what is required for 2nd Degree Murder.

And, Judge Fox deviated from the statutory sentencing guidelines to give her probation (it is in a mandatory active block).

Not that Sid cares about accuracy, but he keeps referring to the Judge as a Wake County Judge - he's not. Judge Fox is an Orange County Judge (used to be the DA). Superior Court Judges go to various counties - so he was in Wake for that case (just like Ridgeway, a Wake County Judge was in Durham for Mangum).

Dr. Harr,

I think the lady was quite aware that her husband was too ill for her to be assualting him in any way, that the man had a right to his bedroom with no argument given his medical condition, and that the lady was probably overstressed from her husband's illness and whatever and lost it even though she was not reportedly attacked by him. I also believe that man's health was going to drag both of them into a formidable hell where he was going to die anyway and she was going to get even more overstressed from his illness. Instead she lost it and sent herself into a formidable hell and saved her husband the trouble. She admitted to attacking him, and indeed thought she killed him when she did, so she plead quilty to voluntary manslaughter which seems reasonable given the circumstances described in the news.

As far as what the judge did - perhaps you could ask him to explain his reasoning and rationale better. Trying to compare it to Ms. Mangum's case in relation to the M.E. system is confusing at this point.

Anonymous said...

Dr. Harr,

Maybe you can write to the judge in that case about his rulings and ask him for a written opinion about the differences between that case and Ms. Mangum's case. Also ask for advice in obtaining a lawyer for Ms. Mangum with no conflicts of interest or biases to taint and sabotage her defense in the new trial the Appeal Court will probably order.

Is there a specific method of writing to a judge for his opinions and insights into a case he presided over in relation to another pending case with similar issues? What is it?

If nothing else, perhaps he can give you advice in how to get the M.E. issues resolved for Ms. Mangum's case especially, and perhaps for both and for all.

Perhaps he will be kind enough to extend his wisdom and support to the rights of all NC citizens on these issues.

Ms. Mangum needs a lawyer with no conflicts to duke, the M.E. system, political aspirations, etc.

Perhaps you can ask him how to resolve the conflict of interest issues with duke for all in NC as well or give advice on how to do so.

It would be interesting to see what he had to say on the issues. He might practice his judgeship in Durham as well as Wake and other counties, so his input would be enlightening.

Anonymous said...

Given that only the paranoid few see this massive conflict with Duke (and zero evidence has been provided that any of Mangum's attorneys has a conflict - as has been repeatedly noted working for hospitals in Texas in the 1990s isn't a conflict, and being appointed to represent the now indigent father of a Duke Lacrosse student on some minor criminal charges isn't a conflict), I doubt Judge Fox will have advice on how to deal with irrational paranoia.

But, hey, he's one more person for Sid to be ignored by that he can add to the conspiracy.

The fact there is malpractice isn't anything new or unique to Duke - and they pay out millions of dollars a year when they are sued for their mistakes, so clearly the justice system doesn't completely protect them.

A mob of naked people could demonstrate about the injustice against Mangum in Raleigh and Durham simultaneously and the media would ignore it.

Face it... Mangum was not prepared to take the stand by someone with her best interests at heart. Turncoat Meier's strategy of not impugning Daye's reputation was ill-advised. The police reports of Mangum's friend Larry O'Briant document the incident... and his credibility is not in question.

So, gui, your position is that the fact that she was strangling him had nothing to do with his apparent heart attack? Yet, you want to say that a non-fatal stab wound was responsible for Daye's death ten days later when he was electively removed from life support? Doesn't make sense.

Thank you for the correction. You're correct. Judge Fox is from Orange County. As a matter of fact, I tried to get him disqualified because of that fact when the State Bar sought injunctions against me.

Prosecution claims it never offered Mangum a plea deal... I never saw a plea deal. I would still not advise Mangum to accept a plea deal. What I advised her to do was to represent herself.

Your suggestions are valid, but I have no faith in the judges that have been assigned to Mangum's case or Judge Fox. I was disappointed in Fox's probation sentence for Amtey when it was obvious that she was responsible for her husband's death due to strangulation. Just because the medical examiner's office is totally inept and screwed up is not reason to mete out rare deals to certain individuals.

Anonymous said...

That's ridiculous Dr. Harr.

What would the professional responsiblity of a judge be when confronted with the M.E. issues he has encountered in your case with the State Bar, and with the Amety case, and with full knowledge of Ms. Mangum's case and her false imprisonment based upon the same issues?

I believe that neither the prosecutor nor the judge wanted to impose a jail sentence on Dottie Amtey. The prosecutor even went so far as to accuse her husband of emotional domestic abuse, saying that her husband tried to exert control, just because he turned the television set off. The prosecutor later refers to this murderess who strangled her husband with her bare hands as a "nice lady."

Don't completely understand the question, but the State Bar case against me really had nothing directly to do with my case. The Amtey medical examiner issue had to do with two very different conclusions as cause of death... the first being natural causes, and the second which was presented five weeks later was "complications of an assault."
Medical examiner issues in Mangum's case had to do with false and fraudulent findings and a conclusion that is not substantiated.

I certainly didn't mean to ridicule and I appreciate your explanation. However, I am of the belief that the prosecutor and judge both felt sympathy for Dottie Amtey... why, I'm not sure.

Not being a lawyer, I can't really give you a reliable answer. Maybe Walt or A Lawyer might be able to weigh in on your question.

I agree with you that the judge is in a way complicit with the misdeeds and malfeasances of the medical examiner by allowing false and fraudulent statements to be introduced into testimony and considered by the jurors.

A judge has the responsibility, and the power, to rule on the case before him, and his ruling must be based solely on the evidence presented by the parties to the case. A judge has no jurisdiction -- no power, no authority-- to rule on other issues, involving people not parties to the case before him, and based on evidence not offered by the parties to his case.

Nichols' tongue didn't slip twice. He stated twice during direct exam that the spleen was removed during surgery previously. That is not a slip. Especially when he described the organ in his autopsy report. He's a medical examiner who had time to prepare to testify. If he cannot get something as simple as what happened to the spleen correct, how can any of his testimony be considered credible?

FBI stats state that over one-third of a million white women have been sexually assaulted by black males since 1987 — with no visible protest from the civil rights leadership.

Interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white. Not one case of a white sexual assault on a black female was found in the FBI study.

In my lawsuit with Duke, I am filing an appeal with the Fourth Circuit.

My habeas corpus filed with the Court of Appeals was denied. I received no reply from the habeas corpus filed with the Superior Court of Durham County. My next step will be to file a habeas corpus with the North Carolina Supreme Court.

I will work on the habeas corpus after I file my appeal in the Duke case.

If you believed it to be true, you should have blogged that it was your belief or opinion. You did not. Instead, you blogged it as fact.

We can parse what it means when you state as fact things that are not true. We can debate whether a lie requires intent, or what level of intent is required (i.e., knowledge of actual falsity or just reckless disregard of the truth). The fact remains that you have a long history of stating things that, upon further scrutiny, turn out to be incorrect. That makes it very hard to take you, or anything you say, seriously.

Wrong-O! This is about justice!

As far as influencing the judiciary goes I feel that it is my obligation to inform the Court that the autopsy report used to charge and convict Mangum was false and fraudulent. I feel its my obligation to inform the Court that the star witness for the prosecution, the medical examiner Dr. Nichols, committed perjury that was inflammatory and prejudicial. I feel that as a Tar Heelian it is my obligation to help an innocent individual obtain her freedom and have her conviction overturned.

As far as communication goes, we are in communication as I spoke with her by phone recently, received mail from her recently, and am mailing a letter to her this afternoon.

I have no doubt that Crystal appreciates my efforts on her behalf.

Yes, I would and did advise Mangum of accepting a plea deal even though one was apparently not offered to her. Why should she plead guilty to a crime she didn't commit? Would you plead guilty to a crime you didn't commit? Do you think Perry Mason would encourage his client to plead guilty to a crime he/she didn't commit?

Had I represented Mangum, I would've gotten an acquittal... hung jury at worst. The prosecution had no case... period.

Upon what do you base your claim that a third party cannot file a petition for Habeas Corpus for a third party?

The NC General Statute 17-5 reads as follows: "§ 17-5. By whom application is made.

Application for the writ may be made either by the party for whose relief it is intended or by any person in his behalf.

Dr. Harr,

If the Appeals Court orders a new trial, Ms. Mangum will still be in need of non-conflicted, non duke biased lawyer to assist in her defense. What would you suggest be done to insure that the Duke / Durham Public Defenders office has no conflict of interest with duke and is thus capable of providing a lawyer to assist Ms. Mangum in a new trial? The first thing would be to get her out of jail, and back on bond release, so that is another thing to consider in insuring the same bias and fraud with the conflicted Public Defenders office does not occur again in her case. What are your thoughts on these issues?

Speaking of Perry Mason, seems the NC Medical Examiner Systems saga has just got more a bit more complex. There is an article today in the News and Observer outlining a new case filed by the whistle blower in the M.E. office who discovered the bullet fragment that got Dr. Nichols and apparently himself fired. Well, he resigned and retired, but nevertheless, he is suing for being forced to resign and retire as a victim of a whistle blower vendetta (he alleges) against him after he testified to the SBI in that case about the bullet fragment. Per the M.E. office, he actually documented the bullet incorrectly which is why Dr. Nichols did not turn it over to the SBI (even though Dr. Nichols was fired for it before Ms. Mangum's trial). ???

Perhaps Nichols is right and Duke is horribly wrong in what happened to Mr. Daye in their hospital to cause his death? ???

Anyway, isn't that what the M.E. office is stating by saying there was nothing wrong with Dr. Nichols autopsy report in the Mangum case.

There is a series starting now on "The Real News" network that is interesting in its delving into further understanding of the position that the NAACP takes on certain issues and why they do so. You might be interested in following it. I have always wondered in this case why the NAACP doesn't insure that lawyers are available to assist those they purportedly support with cases such as the current Mangum case. That would seem like a very reasonable thing for them to do to me, but since it is not seen in reality, I am hoping this series will provide a deeper understanding into the issue.

Anonymous said...

There are lawyers available to assist with cases like the Mangum case. In fact, Mangum had several competent attorneys assigned to assist her free of charge in the trial of her case. She currently has a lawyer handling her appeal, also without charge to her.

Falsely and baselessly accusing Mangum's lawyers of being incompetent, part of a massive conspiracy and/or of conflicts of interest does not change those facts or create a controversy. It does nothing to help Mangum and just makes you look unserious.

Dr. Harr, presumably you failed to read section 17-4 (even though it comes before 17-5). Section 17-4 says:

"§ 17-4. When application denied.
Application to prosecute the writ shall be denied in the following cases:
****
(2) Where persons are committed or detained by virtue of the final order, judgment or decree of a competent tribunal of civil or criminal jurisdiction, or by virtue of an execution issued upon such final order, judgment or decree."

As Walt previously pointed out, this statute means that no court can even consider a habeas petition for Mangum until and unless her conviction is reversed on appeal.

Did you somehow miss this when you were preparing your habeas petition?

Dr. Harr,

On the series I mentioned previously currently running on the "The Real News" network, the quest speaker is actually a history professor who occassionally works at Chapel Hill (persumably UNC).

So does this mean:

1. That the Habeous corpus could have been filed in the two month period that Mr. Meier was acting as a lawyer appointed by the Public Defenders office, but before the final judgement of the actual trial?

1a. Where does it actually state that it has to be submitted after the Appeals Court process, but only AFTER they issue their judgement on the appeal, and only if that judgement orders a news trial?

2. Does execution in the final sentence mean an actual execution, or does it simply mean that some action was executed based upon a final judgement?

It is certainly easy to misinterpret what is written in the statute on this issue.

It's not remotely confusing to anyone with a modicum of intelligence and certainly anyone with legal training, or willing to do 30 seconds of research can figure it out.

See, this all goes back to further proof that Sid's efforts are all about him, not Crystal. He takes steps that he claims are to help him (his letters, this Writ, many others), and his gullible followers on this board think it's great that he's trying to help Crystal, and ignore that it's all really self-promotion.

Sid knows these efforts will fail - in fact, he counts on it. Because he wants a martyr - that's why he is upset she didn't get LWOP - she will actually get out, and likely in Sid's lifetime - and he loses a cause, so he needs to keep hurting her.

But, in the interim, he will continue to file things he knows will fail, because he wants to pretend he's helping, while really getting his name out, and when they do fail, he blames Duke and the conspiracy, not the law, even though everyone has told him from the beginning he would fail becuse of the law, not Duke.

This whole exercise is Sid's big ego lovefest and it's sad how many of you are sucked in and actually think he is doing anything other than playing you for fools and feeding his narcissistic ego.

Yeah actually it does - it shows how Sid knew the Habeas was wrong ... Oh, and you couldn't file it before the trial after she was released - she wasn't in custody. The purpose of a Habeas Petition is to have the person brought before a court to challenge their illegal detention - say the folks in Gitmo being held without charges - she was not in custody, so Habeas relief was inapplicable to her.

I know, I'm pointing out why you and Sid are wrong, therefore I'm a troll because you are as scared of the truth and seeing Sid for what he is as you are of little men hiding under bridges.

Okay - make this clear on the law:

1. A Writ of Habeas Corpus cannot be granted after someone is being held/incarcerated based on a Conviction/Judgment - that's what appeals and MARs are for. So, Sid can file all the Writs he wants, they will never be granted, because they are the wrong pleading, not because of a conspiracy.

2. A Writ could not have been filed before the trial while Mangum was out on bond, because she was not being held - and a Writ is used to have someone brought before a court to justify their further detention - no detention, no Writ.

Therefore - Sid can file all the Writs he wants, and say whatever he wants in them, they are useless to helping Crystal. The only things that can help Crystal are her appeal (which is underway), and if that is unsuccessful, a further appeal, or a MAR (Motion for Appropriate Relief).

Because - as has been pointed out - once there has been a trial, and a conviction (Judgment), as there was in this case - a Writ is improper - the case gets resolved via appeal. That was noted a few comments ago.

So, what's wrong with it is that a Writ is used pre-conviction, an appeal is used post-conviction.

That's the law, so what's wrong with it is that he is ignoring the proper legal procedure, and then wondering why it's not working. It's not working because legally the courts cannot grant a Writ under the circumstances Mangum is in - they will address her case/issues in the appeal which is ongoing.

Anonymous said...

So you can write a writ during the initial trial process if the person is detained incorrectly because the lawyer has a conflict of interest, but before the appeals process or the actual trial?

Anonymous said...

Mr. Meier's legal strategy was to tell his client, Ms. Mangum, that he intended to ask the judge for sufficient time to present his case for her defense professionally, which he did but his request was denied by the judge, and which is what Mr. Meier based his application for appeal for Ms. Mangum. So there was no time for a Habeous Corpus to be written either based upon his client's understanding of his intentions in his request for more time to assist in her defense and the quickness of the trial itself, coupled with receiving the second autopsy report just hours before the end of the trial.

Anonymous at 5:29 PM wrote: "Can a writ be considered by the Appeals Court with this additional complaint highlighted for reasoning of timing of submitting the writ?"

No, a writ of habeas corpus is not a substitute for an appeal. In re Burton, 257 N.C. 534, 126 S.E.2d 581 (1962). In habeas corpus proceedings, the court is not permitted to act as one of errors and appeals, but the right to afford relief, on such hearings, arises only when the petitioner is held unlawfully or on a sentence manifestly entered by the court without power to impose it. See Burton, Supra. In this case, Mangum was tried by Superior Court, a court that has the power to impose a sentence. Thus, until she has exhausted her appeal and motion for appropriate relief, she has no claim under habeas corpus.

In theory, she might have had the claim prior to conviction, but as has been pointed out correctly when she was on bail, she was not being held and thus no habeas issue. Further, before she made bail, there was no habeas issue as a court had set bail. So in this case, there is no present or past habeas issue. One might arise in the future, but only after appeals are exhausted.

I believe that Crystal should do what I'm doing in my lawsuit against Duke. Represent herself! She's intelligent enough and the State's case is weak to the point of being non-existent. She could've fared much better in the November 2013 trial if she would've represented herself... but she placed her faith in Turncoat Dan Meier. That's why she ended up losing big-time.

I tried to get Mangum to study and prepare to represent herself before, but she lacked confidence and I think she lacked the energy required to seriously prepare her case. Also, I think she thought that even with lousy representation that she would never be convicted of second degree murder or manslaughter. She shouldn't've, but the conspiratorial deck was really stacked against her.

Had I hired an attorney to represent me against Duke, not only would he/she have charged me up the kazoo, but would've sold me out as well. My chances against Duke are much better with me controlling my destiny.

Yes, the Medical Examiner's Office is carefully wording its statement by saying the "findings" were accurate and appropriate. This statement by Chief Medical Examiner Radisch is wrong, however as there are too many significant discrepancies with the Nichols autopsy report and other medical records... especially the operative report. I believe the operative report is correct when it states that the only lesions on Daye were a minor one to the spleen and a laceration to the splenic flexure of the colon. It stated that the stomach was normal... not that there was a sutured wound in that organ's fundus. Also, no mention was made in the operative report of a laceration to the left kidney, left lung, or diaphragm... all of which are reported in the autopsy report. Then Nichols contradicts himself with perjured testimony at trial that the spleen was removed at surgery (not according to the operative report)... and then Nichols goes on to describe the spleen in his autopsy report which he stated at trial was missing because it had been removed by surgeons. Not to mention Nichols' observation of multiple "defensive" injuries to the left upper extremity which were contradicted by other reports.

Daye's autopsy report is totally bogus and unreliable not only in its findings but in its conclusion... and everyone is trying to cover this up.

Just a few days ago you said you hadn't heard from her in several weeks, and she wasn't responding to you despite you providing her self-addressed stamped envelopes. Was that a lie, or has she since started communicating again? And you explicitly said you had mentioned the Writ and she had not responded - so if you are sure she appreciates it, why isn't she saying so?


What I said was accurate. It had been some time since I heard from her despite enclosing a self-addressed/stamped-envelope the last time I wrote to her. Since I posted that comment, Crystal did telephone me and she later sent some information that I had requested. I told her on the phone that I had filed two habeas corpi on her behalf and she seemed to be pleased that I did.

Hope that untangles any confusion.

"Had I represented Mangum, I would've gotten an acquittal... hung jury at worst. The prosecution had no case... period."

That's big talk coming from a man with no legal training who has never won a case.


What you fail to realize is that I would win not because I would be a fantastic court advocate, but because the case against Mangum is so weak. I believe Mangum could've won her case had she represented herself. The only reason she lost is because her turncoat attorney Meier prevented the introduction of any of Dr. Roberts' report or any other medical opinions to contradict Nichols.

So, I'm not bragging or talking big when I say I could've gotten Mangum off had I represented her. Anybody could... even you. It took skill and talent on the part of Meier to lose the case for Mangum while at the same time appearing to put up a hardy defense.

SideNote:

Option 1:

cop drives by and figures person will get out of the middle of street as soon as he finishes crossing it in the next minute

Option 2:

cop stops and ends up killing the middle of the street lolligagger, so the street is now blocked off and everyone and their brother and sister and the national guard and news reporters from around the world with tear gas and stun grenades flying about are waiting for Obama and Holder to stand in the middle of the street to make an announcement about the virtues of taking the high road (or at least the middle of the road)


hmmmmm ... so many choices


I definitely would've opted for Option One.
