It is the adopted policy to post letters of pertinence regarding Mangum's case on this blog site. The reason is to give as much transparency towards the investigation and advocacy of the issues related to the abysmal and horrific treatment of Crystal Mangum by the media, State, and others.

Yes, but you can protect yourself from an enraged and violent drunk person who is attacking you, even with the knife that they just threw at you if you have to to protect your own life without thinking should you let the attacker kill you or should you risk going to jail to save your own life because Duke might kill with their deadly malpractice to use the left over body parts for profit (or something - whatever crossing your mind at the time that you make the split decision to save yourself or worry about Duke's malicious malpractice).

Ms. Mangum did NOT murder Mr. Daye. Mr. Daye was mobile, the stab wound was declared mended successfully by the Duke surgeon, and he definetely was Not dead until Duke 'pulled the plug' after they claimed him to be 'brain dead' because they could do that - so they did (the most basic reason for their actions that none could deny).

@ Abe: There is no denying that Daye was a chronic alcoholic. Anyone who knew him was aware of that; despite how they couched their testimony in court. Only those who hate Crystal absurdly deny this fact. Only an alcoholic can, hurl knives, kick down a bathroom door, drag someone out, try to choke them to death and despite being stabbed in the side continue to walk and talk all with a blood alcohol concentration of 296mg/dl. Only an alcohol goes into alcohol withdrawal and delirium tremens when his consumption is interrupted by hospitalization.

There was no testimony or evidence that Mr. Daye was an alcoholic and it doesn't matter.

If you stab a morbidly obese man and he has a heart attack while walking to the hospital and dies, you are responsible for his death. If you stab a hemophiliac and he bleeds to death, you are responsible for his death. If you stab an alcoholic and he has goes into severe alcohol withdrawal and dies, you are responsible for his death. If you stab a person and he falls into the road and is hit by a car and dies, you are responsible for his death. If you stab a person and the ambulance gets lost or breaks down on the way to the hospital and he dies, you are responsible for his death. If you stab a person and the hospital screws up in treating him and he dies, you are responsible for his death.

There is no scenario which has been presented and is supported by the facts and evidence where Mangum is not responsible for Mr. Daye's death. No amount of masturdebating will change that. Refusal by Mangum to accept responsibility for her actions will only hurt her when she comes up for release.

If it is negligent malpractice not related to the stab wound then the hospital is responsible by law. That is why the in-justice system is covering up the malpractice, which really says so much worse about Duke then even the fact that they killed Mr. Daye with their malpractice. If you want to cheer that type in-justice on, then why do you hate Ms. Mangum so much? It was the same in-justice system and Duke who were at fault in the lacrosse case, just like now. Where's the difference (except this time the crimes are even more severe and effect the safety and well-being of all)? Ya gonna cheer this on to see what else Duke and the Durham in-justice system are going to do next to destroy lives - even at the expense of Duke itself?

There was no plea deal or guilty plea in Mangum's case; she was found guilty after a trial.

Only profoundly and dangerously mentally ill people are unable to differentiate between right and wrong and only sociopaths have no remorse for their wrongful actions. Both need to be institutionalized because they pose a grave and imminent risk to others.

"If it is negligent malpractice not related to the stab wound then the hospital is responsible by law."

The stab wound put Mr. Daye in the hospital. Even if Daye's injuries were aggravated or increased by the negligence, mistake, or lack of skill of a physician or surgeon, the law regards the negligence of the wrongdoer in causing the original injury as the proximate cause of the damages flowing from the subsequent negligent or unskillful treatment.


Mangum is responsible -- by law.



Anonymous said...

The jury rejected self-defense (and Sid and Kenny have acknowledged it was argued) - that means the question was/is no longer guilty or not guilty, but Manslaughter v. Murder. Whine, cry, lie all you want - without self-defense, no matter what happened at Duke, the best case was some level of manslaughter, worst case was 1st Degree (but not because of the Felony Murder rule - as has been repeatedly noted - that was never in play).

Sid -- You failed to even acknowledge the most important part of my post -- that the request must come from the interviewer through the Public Affairs Office.

If, as you posted, the request came from Mangum, it should be denied. Mangum can't request an interview simply because she wants one.


All I know is that Paula Lavigne tried to arrange an interview with Ms. Mangum, to which Ms. Mangum gave her consent, and that the interview was denied. I am unaware as to whether or not Ms. Lavigne was referred to the Public Affairs Office.

Here again you manifest not only your incredible vicious stupidity you manifest total ignorance.

Check with lawyers.

If there had been negligence(and you have not even come close to proving it), the legal principle, in a few words is, had she not stabbed him, he would not have been exposed to the risk of negligence.


Even by your own standards you are wrong and Duke is liable for Daye's death. Keep in mind, it was the treatment for delirium tremens, which had nothing to do with the stab wound, that resulted in the malpractice esophageal intubation. The intubation postoperatively was not required for the stab wound or any so-called complication from it.

Let me know if further elucidation is required.

mr. harr, you say your medical education renders you capable of explaining medical matters. Do you really think you are as capable of understanding what an autopsy reveals as an individual who did residencies in pathology, achieved board cerification, and who then performed thousands of autopsies? Do you really think you can explain a surgical procedure as well as someone who did a residency in surgery, achieved board certification, and then performed thousands of surgical procedures?


Any medical school graduate can understand what transpired during Daye's hospitalization... the concept is not that difficult for someone with the most rudimentary of medical training to understand.

It is my understanding that Paula Lavigne works for ESPN and that Marina Zenovich is a producer contracted by ESPN to produce the documentary. Therefore, I believe that Ms. Zenovich was the one trying to arrange the interview with Ms. Mangum.

Abe, I had been in contact long ago with a writer who had been hired to write the screenplay for the project. After he submitted a sample, he was let go and another writer was hired. Again, the submission did not meet the standards sought by HBO to put the Duke Lacrosse players in a positive light and the project was dropped.

Except the treatment dministered was for a suspected infection which was a possibility. The penetrating wound of the colon and the time interval between the injury and getting him to surgery set him up for an infection, and that possibility was not eliminated by the surgery. You would understand that if you weren't so clinically incompetent and weren't so invested in getting a pass for your favorite murderess/false accuser for her crimes.

My understanding is that Ms. Zenovich requested the interview and Ms. Mangum gave her consent for it. I would imagine that whoever made the request, the warden would ultimately have to give permission or deny permission to the interviewer (Zenovich).

They would have confirmed that it was a diagnosis of impending delirium tremens and not an overwhelming post operative infection that took him into the ICU. At no time did he ever receive treatment for a post operative infectious process. Don't tell me that Meier, or for that matter Nicholls or Roberts ever investigated this and confirmed that a post-operative infection related to the wound was what killed him.

First, why ask mr. harr what a medical person would do. He may have MD attached to his name but he does not have the expertise or competence to know what a real medical person would have done.

Second, they are looking for an intra abdominal infection-that was where the contamination took place. A blood test would be useless. A CT scan would definitively shpw whether or not an infection was present.

There is no evidence that there was any infection or that any infection was ever treated. The state medical examiner showed a picture of an infected lung during the trial, but there is no way to tell whether those pictures were of Mr. Daye or not, and everything that was produced by that doctor is subject to extensive questioning given all the discrepancies and errors noted in his report and testimony, and the fact that he was already fired for the work he produced in other murder cases before the trial began. Why wouldn't a blood test indicate an infection?

Dr. Harr,

Why would a CT scan indicate an infection in the abdominal cavity but not a blood test? It seems to me that fluid would already be in the abdomen unlike doing an ex-ray to test for infection in the lungs. How does a CT scan test for infection in the abdominal area? That just does not seem right. If the infection was being tested in abdominal cavity from a successfully treated puncture to the intestines, the CT dye that initiated the intubation wouldn't help in that area anyway would it? How would the dye get there? ???

Doesn't make sense to begin with. Anyway, Mr. Daye was started on antibodies as a routine procedure to the successful surgery as documented in the Duke medical reports, so wasn't Mr. Daye already being treated for infection before the test that ended in intubation malpractice and brain death? ???

I definitely would not believe a jury comprised of the wife of the head of the Duke medical division that was responsible for the malpractice who insisted on being on the jury even though her own father was dying at the time, and two other duke employees. Anyway, they weren't provided with the malpractice information to make a decision on it because of cover-up of Duke's involvement in Mr. Daye's death. I might believe a Durham jury if there were absolutely NO duke affiliated persons on it, including anyone who has to rely on Duke for medical treatment of themselves or their family and affiliates. Basically, it would be very difficult to find that type jury in Durham. Then there would actually have to be a trial that questioned extensively the malpractice issues to begin with. There is none of that, and Dr. Harr has presented the evidence from which he speaks, and it is very easy to see what he is talking about from the records.

Why would you trust a medical facility that kills a patient with negligent questionable preventable malpractice that results in a known adversary of Duke being incarcerated for murder for their own malpractice which they then take no known responsibility for which is required by law?

Well what's taking so long, eh? Oh yeah, Ms. Mangum is being harmed - at least as long as the malpractice is covered up. Right - Right.

Malpractice isn't murder - by definition it's accidental, and it happens at all healthcare facilities.

If it's an intentional act - it's murder, and not malpractice. If it is malpractice, it was a mistake.

And, malpractice doesn't cut off criminal liability.

You are still a blithering idiot.

Anonymous said...

Well if it's accidental and not murder than why is someone else charged with murder for an accident they had NO control over? Duke had CONTROL over Mr. Daye's life. That is Not something that can be denied if they gave him a paralytic and then kept sticking a tube down his throat so that he could not breath. THAT is sole cause malpractice - the proximate cause of the patients subsequent brain death and removal from life support. Ms. Mangum probably would have performed an intubation procedure better than that if given the chance, which of course she wasn't, so why blame her?

She put him in the hospital - by stabbing him (not in self-defense). Under the law (as has been repeatedly claimed) she is responsible for the consequences that flow from that - and malpractice is a "routine" consequence. Had Crystal not stabbed him, he wouldn't have been in the hospital for the malpractice to kill him. This has been repeatedly explained on this blog - you just choose to ignore it, or you are too stupid to comprehend it.

Right, like anyone couldn't be said to be defending themselves after being dragged out of a busted down door by their hair by a overly enraged drunk person throwing knives and such things. You choose to ignore the sole cause clause at the end of the law as the judge stated at the beginning of the trial. Your Mangum hating explanations and falsehoods are quite prolific on this blog. You choose to ignore the judge, the duke medical records, the autopsy reports, the make-up of the jury, the conflicted legal representation, and basically anything else that doesn't support your Mangum hating Duke centered perspective.

Dr. Harr,

Why would a medical person do a CT scan to see if there is an infection before doing a blood test which carries much less risk to the already heavily sedated patient? And why would they give a paralytic to an already heavily sedated patient?


It was my understanding that the scan was to be conducted to try and identify an abscess. I agree that if the patient was highly agitated and being treated with sedatives, I would not jump to giving contrast for a body scan. I don't know what the white blood count was, don't know if he had other signs of infection such as a fever. What I would have done, however, is obtain a couple of blood cultures and put in for an infectious disease consult.

The reason for giving a paralytic to Daye would be to help facilitate intubation.

I do not believe many people would agree with you that esophageal intubation or any malpractice is a routine consequence of medical treatment... especially since the consequences with esophageal intubation are deadly if not recognized immediately and corrected. The problem with the intubation is not so much that it was initially introduced into the esophagus, but that it's misplacement was not immediately recognized and corrected. The negative end-tidal CO2 reading was the red flag that should have been heeded.

According to the records you illegally posted, the vomiting happened suddenly, an immediate attempt was made to intubate. and the esophageal intubation happened because the vomitus blocked the view of the airway. The tube was withdrawn and replaced.

Walt said...

In Sid's latest letter, he compares Nifong's gross misconduct to Cassandra Stubbs problems with the bar. Not commenting on her issues, Nifong's misconduct was gross and clear. He prosecuted a case without probable cause. Nifong knew once the DNASI report came in that he had no way to identify any particular defendant with admissible evidence. That was in May, 2006.

Nifong went to a hearing and told a Superior Court Judge he didn't have any other evidence when he was in possession of the DNASI report.

Nifong gave numerous press conferences where he misrepresented the facts of the case. (Of course there was no attack so he really could not have said anything that was truthful about the attack.

Nifong then compounded his violations of the rules of professional conduct by burying the DNASI report in a document dump after he had told the Superior Court there was no more evidence.

Nifong, went ahead to call Dr. Obfuscation as a witness. That cemented his fate. After the DNASI report was out, Nifong had no probable cause to continue against the defendants. When he refused to dismiss, he challenged the Bar to take action. Had he dismissed, he could continue to investigate, he could have tried to find defendants that he had probable cause to proceed against. He didn't. That is gross misconduct if ever there was.

A Lawyer said...

If it is negligent malpractice not related to the stab wound

That's a huge "if," which has never been established.

then the hospital is responsible by law.

...to Mr. Daye and his family, not to anyone else. They apparently didn't think there was malpractice, because they didn't sue.

That is why the in-justice system is covering up the malpractice, which really says so much worse about Duke then even the fact that they killed Mr. Daye with their malpractice.

How are they "covering up" the malpractice (if there was any)?

Mr. Daye was started on antibodies as a routine procedure

Antibodies? You think he was given antibodies? And you expect anyone to take you seriously?

A Lawyer said...

How is Mangum a "known adversary of Duke"? Duke was extraordinarily supportive of Mangum's false accusations, something which led to Duke being sued by the accused members of the Lacrosse team. So it was the students Mangum accused who are the "known adversaries" of Duke, not Mangum.

Intubation into the esophagus is not that uncommon an occurrence, however usually its mal-position is immediately recognized, the tube is removed, the patient oxygenated with an ambu-bag until another attempt can be made. In Daye's case, the most objective measure of tube placement, the end-tidal CO2 monitor was negative which indicated that the tube was in the esophagus. Despite visual check with a laryngoscope which incorrectly determined that the tube was in the airway, the tube was allowed to remain in the esophagus until the effects of full body anoxia resulted in cardiac arrest.

Also, if vomitus is in the airway, suction should be at the ready to remove it. Not being able to see the larynx and vocal cords is no excuse for an errant esophageal intubation.

Under a federal law called HIPAA, Duke Medical Center must keep Mr. Daye's medical records private and cannot disclose publicly anything about his treatment. Mr. Daye's family did not sue them for malpractice, and neither side in Mangum's criminal trial subpoenaed Duke's doctors to testify, so Duke is now legally required to "remain silent."

No mention of the botched esophageal intubation, the resulting cerebral anoxia and his elective removal from life support etc. The Jury should have been clearly asked to decide on this after Judge Ridgeway instructed them on the Welch Holsclaw rulings. He did so but there was no references available for them to know why this standard instruction might be critical in this case. They should of had the relevant information in order to decide if, because of Crystal's action that him to hospital, it was the sole proximate cause. If Welch and Holsclaw are so clearly decided what is the reason all relevant facts surrounding his death were not given to them?

mr. harr why are you ducking having to explain why you were never accepted into a residency and why you were unable to get board certified inany specialty.

If you explained it might establish you as an expert.

Your repeated ducking implies your background as a doc is totally inadequate to establish you s an expert.

Your constant ducking of questions about your background implies that you have none, that you could not get accepted into a residency in the first place, and, since residency =training is a pre requisite to board certification, that is the reason why you were never bloard certified.

Kenhyderal wrote: "My reply was poorly worded but even you have to concede the Jury did not have all the facts eg. They were told Daye died of complications to his wound with no mention of the proximate cause of Daye's death being acute alcohol withdrawal due to his chronic alcoholism."

Because that was not the opinion of the medical examiner, the only expert called who could offer such an opinion. But, we know due to Sid's breach of Crystal's confidence that her own expert agreed with that diagnosis.

"No mention of the botched esophageal intubation, the resulting cerebral anoxia and his elective removal from life support etc."

Irrelevant. How many times have we gone over the law - contributory negligence has no place in the criminal law.

"The Jury should have been clearly asked to decide on this after Judge Ridgeway instructed them on the Welch Holsclaw rulings."

Special verdicts are not used in criminal cases. Only rarely in civil ones where there are hybrid questions of law and fact that must be decided partly by the jury and partly by the judge.

"He did so but there was no references available for them to know why this standard instruction might be critical in this case. They should of had the relevant information in order to decide if, because of Crystal's action that him to hospital, it was the sole proximate cause."

The pattern jury instructions are drafted as they are to do away with any need for further explanation. Had the jury sought such clarification, they would have asked. They did not, so they understood the instruction.

"If Welch and Holsclaw are so clearly decided what is the reason all relevant facts surrounding his death were not given to them?"

All relevant facts were presented. Remember, contributory negligence has no place in a criminal proceeding, so any evidence of malpractice (negligence) has no relevance. The only way it could possibly be relevant is if the malpractice rises to the level of an intervening cause to cut off criminal liability. In this case, both the state and the defense had experts to analyze that possibility. The defense expert, with the most reason to find an intervening cause, found none. She said so in her written report. More importantly, she told Crystal that in her oral report which should never have been made public, but was when Sid breached Crystal's trust and wrote up the findings on this very blog.

It matters to mr. harr. He thinks he is some kind of medical expert. But his reluctance to talk about his medical expert suggests he was not very competent after he graduated from medical school. And it really irks him that someone is exposing that he may have very well been too incompetent to be accepted into any residency training program.

Do you have any kind of time frame for when Ms. Mangum might write a pro-se letter to the current Durham DA asking for an investigation into the state's medical examiner report and the cover-up of and the actuality of the deadly intubation procedure that resulted in Mr. Daye's unfortunate removal from life support at their hands?

What does it matter? What he said was backed up by the defense medical examiner based on Duke's medical records in relation to the state's autopsy reporting that the judicial system has attempted to keep from Ms. Mangum, the public, and a jury. The complications are what need to be on trial since they are what caused the death. If there was a murder - it was from the complications that caused the death, not the one self-defensive stab wound that was documented in the Duke medical records as mended and not a cause of death but resulted in a prognosis for full recovery. That IS what's important and why the defense autopsy report was with-held from the public, the jury, and the defendant.

Reasonableness would suggest that if the triggering of a chain of events,(ie. Crystal stabbing of Daye, in self defence) is interrupted by an intervening cause(ie Duke's fatal Medical malpractice), it should serve to distance and exonerate Crystal from any responsibility for this outcome. That was my interpretation of Ridgeway's instruction to the jury.

"What does it matter? What he said was backed up by the defense medical examiner"

If you mean what mr. harr said, that was not backed up by the defens's expert witness. Her opinion concurred with Dr. Nichols' opinion,that Reginald Daye died of complications of the stab wound.

"The complications are what need to be on trial since they are what caused the death."

If Crystal had not stabbed him, there would have been no complications, That is the legal doctrine.

So far as DTs, neither kenny hissy fit nr mr. harr are competent to make the diagnosis of DTs.

Anonymous said...

Kenhyderal -- Repetition is the key to learning, so I will simply state:

The stab wound put Mr. Daye in the hospital. Even if Daye's injuries were aggravated or increased by the negligence, mistake, or lack of skill of a physician or surgeon, the law regards the negligence of the wrongdoer in causing the original injury as the proximate cause of the damages flowing from the subsequent negligent or unskillful treatment.

To this statement I will add:

A jury of her peers decided that the stabbing was not in self-defense. While you may consider this decision wrong, that is how criminal trials work -- even in Canada.

Anonymous @ 12:58 said "You seriously do not know what that means? egad!"

It would normally mean an amount of something so excessive it is coming out of one's "ass"..."Crystal Mangum has felony convictions out the wazoo" would mean that Crystal Mangum has so many felony convictions that they are falling out of her ass on to the floor.

So -- in your statement "personally...give a wazoo", it would appear you are asking someone to "personally" give an ass. Or "personally" give an excess amount of....something (which you have not defined)

Neither make sense.

Which leads me to believe that either:

1) "Wazoo" as a colloquialism means something different in the Durham area than it does elsewhere in the country.

2) You don't have a fucking clue what your writing about.

I'm betting on Option 2.

This has all been argued too many times on this blog, and the argument is always the same based on the law as the JUDGE stated the law to be, Not Walt! The judge's interpretation probably wins over Walt and his evil duke troll gang followers in all instances.

Duke, by law, has responsibility for their own malpractice - not anyone else. Duke, therefore, should be the ones on trial for murder if murder is charged since they are the ones that killed Mr. Daye after being treated and given a prognosis for full recovery. Ms. Mangum had NOTHING to do with Mr. Daye's death from that moment forward. If duke wants to see murder charged, then they need to investigate and put their own medical people on trial for murder. They would garner much more respect and trust for actually taking responsibility for their own malpractice instead of further harming Ms. Mangum and the public. As it is now, they have little respect and even less trust from the public because of what they have done in this case and the lacrosse case. They could have done the right thing but choose not to. There is NO excuse for them. None.

I don't know that she will do so as I have written D.A. Roger Echols several times and spoke to him about the problems with the autopsy report and perjured testimony by the medical examiner. He has basically refused to respond. I have no hopes that he would respond to a letter from Mangum, either.

For the most part, I believe that Mangum will wait until the NC Supreme Court publishes its opinion before acting further.
