harr the hypocritical fabricating delusional megalomaniacal ignorant liar posts a screed called "Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway: A major conspirator in the wrongful conviction of Crystal Mangum"

harr shows again he is incapable of comprende'ing anything.

As you allwere.

harr the hypocritical fabricating delusional megalomaniacal ignorant liar again tries to promulgate the lie that the prosecution of crystal for murder was payback for her accusing the Lacrosse players of raping her. He omits the fact that crystal FALSELY ACCUSED THE LACROSSE PLAYERS OF RAPING HER.

harr has provided no evidence to support the allegation. When challenged to produce evidence he promulgates another ir, tha AG Cooper has sealed the case files. It has pointed out to harr thay AG Cooper does not have the authority to seal the files.

He also promulgates the lie that there is no evidence that crystal was not raped, ignoring the basic principle of law, in a criminal case it is the obligation of the prosecutor to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt she was raped.

Further, the evidence clearly indicates she was not raped. Again, crystal alleged a brutal gang rape in which multiple assailants injured her, penetrated her, and ejaculated on her, which would have resulted in DNA evidence. Analysis of the rape kit materials, by the State Crime Lab(which was once cited for bending the rules to favor the prosecutors), and DNA Security revealed that the only DNA found on crystal's person did not match the DNA of any member of the Lacrosse team, did not match the DNA of any of the three members nifong had indicted, AFTER nifong was aware of the DNA results. The evidence was overwhelming that no crime ever happened.

harr cites the "carpetbagger jihad". He claims that AG Cooper began investigating nifong immediately after nifong initiated the prosecution of the Lacrosse players. The three Lacrosse defendants were indicted in ealy April 2006. The State Bar began its investigation of nifong in December of 2006. It filed its first set of ethics charges in December of 2006. It filed a second set of charges in January of 2007, after it was learned nifong had concealed exculpatory evidence from the defendants. harr also cites the statement by Rae Evans, that nifong had picked on the wrong families and would pay for it every day for the rest of his life. Mrs. Evans made that statement in late January of 2007, AFTER the State Bar had complete its investigations and filed the ethics charges.

Why does harr believe he tells the truth?

harr againclaims that the prosecution of crystal was retaliation for crystal's accusations of rape against the members of the Duke Lacrosse team.

harr neglects to mention that crystal FALSELY accused the members of the Lacrosse team of raping her. I have challenged harr to provide evidence that crystal was raped. The best he can come up with is, the AG, Roy Cooper sealed the case file. Walt and A Lawyer have pointed out to him that the AG does not have the power to seal a case file.

harr has also claimed that there is not evidence that crystal lied about being raped. harr forgets the fundamental principle of the US Justice System, of many Justice Systems, that it is the obligation of the prosecutor to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that crystal told the truth when she made her allegations. That no one can prove her allegations were false is another example of harr holding up a straw fisherman with a red herring.

In any event the evidence generated in the case is overwhelming that crystal had not been raped, that no rape had occurred and that, therefore, crystal did lie about being raped.

crystal alleged a brutal gang rape in which multiple assailants injured her, penetrated her and ejaculated on her, leaving behind DNAe evidence.

The physical exam, conducted by Dr. Julie Manly, not by minimally trained uncetified SANE in training Tara Levicy. It showed no evidence of the trauma which the rape should hae left.

the State Crime lab analyzed the rape kit materials. Then, at nifong's behest, DNA Security analyzed the rape kit materials. The only DNA found on Crystal did not match the DNA of any member of the Lacrosse team, any party attendee.

nifong concealed that evidence.

harr said that evidence was not exculpatory.

That evidence was exculpatory. It showed that no one at the Lacrosse party could have perpetrated the rape crystal alleged.

kenny will claim that no one developed a list of all the party attendees. His claim is based on kilgo who used to leave posts on this blog told him he had a friend who was a member of the Lacrosse team who witnessed a rape of crystal by non lacrosse player party attendees. kilgo since has vanished alonw with all his J4N posts so kenny cab bit dicynebt that kilgo ever said that to him. kilgo's lacrosse player friend has never materialized, in almost 10 years. So kenny can not document that this individual even exists. Meanwhile, not only the Defense counsels and the Prosecution say all the party attendees have been identified.

So let the readers decide wgether or not harr and kenny are credible.

hey, harr:

Let's review this again, from a different angle.

crystal alleged a brutal gang rape in which multiple males injured her, penetrated her, ejaculated on her.

I remind you, yet again, the prosecutor had the obligation to prove crystal told the truth.

Analysis of the rape kit materials revealed that the only male DNA found on crystal did not match the DNA of the men actually charged with the actual crime.

Crystal's identifications of the three men were not reliable. Certainty does not equal reliability. In at least three prior lineups, crystal was not able to identify any Lacrosse player as an assailant.

In the 4th lineup, she identified Brad Ross with 100% certainty as having been present at the party. He wasn't.

So what proved crystal was telling the truth.

I remember, the statement that no one has proven she lied. That is something which has no legal weight. The prosecutor had to prove she was telling the truth.

What proved she was telling the truth.

Crystal Mangum has not been languishing in the hoosegow for the past four plus years due to anything that happened in 2006. It is my goal to have her freed and the trumped up murder conviction overturned. I am in position to achieve those objectives because I am in possession of prosecution discovery. For the record, I have no documents related to the Duke Lacrosse case, so I am not going to waste my time on it.

No dates of note as of now. The other dates were set in relationship to the complaint I filed with the NC Judicial Standards Commission against Judge Ridgeway... which did not pan out.

Am working hard to get out a package tomorrow which will contain much of the info that is currently on the blog site.

It is crystal clear that Mike Nifong never lied to the Courts and never withheld exculpatory evidence (or any evidence for that matter) from the defense attorneys for the Duke Lacrosse defendants.

The NC State Bar is notorious for going after attorneys who act to protect the civil rights of African American defendants... such as defense attorneys Cassandra Stubbs, Gretchen Engel, and Christine Mumma. Like Nifong they were brought before the grievance panel on nothing but trifle accusations... while taking no initiative to take action against prosecutors who have placed innocent black people in jail for decades.

One doesn't need to be an authority on the Duke Lacrosse case to see the Bar's pattern of selective injustice.

WRONG-0!! I have never stated that the Duke Lacrosse defendants were guilty of raping Crystal. I challenge you to bring up a blog or comment in which I made such an assertion. Not having any prosecution discovery, or any discovery, I am not in position to definitively comment on innocence or guilt in that case.

Because I believe Crystal when she said she was sexually assaulted at the Duke party in 2006, that is not the same as proclaiming as fact that she was sexually assaulted or raped.

The two statements are not mutually exclusive. Specifically, the alleged sexual assault in 2006 technically had nothing to do with her arrest in 2011. Are you with me so far?

However, because of the state and media's animus against her for her 2006 assault accusations, her prosecution, conviction, and incarceration were vendetta-driven as payback for her role as accuser in that case. I hope this is crystal clear.

"It is crystal clear that Mike Nifong never lied to the Courts and never withheld exculpatory evidence (or any evidence for that matter) from the defense attorneys for the Duke Lacrosse defendants."

You can willfully delude yourself but you can not hide the truth. nifong did conceal exculpatory evidence and did lie to the courts about it. What you document here is you do not comprehend the term "lie" and you do not comprehend the term "exculpatory. The meanings of those terms have been explained to you. Ergo you choose to remain willfully ignorant.

"The NC State Bar is notorious for going after attorneys who act to protect the civil rights of African American defendants... such as defense attorneys Cassandra Stubbs, Gretchen Engel, and Christine Mumma. Like Nifong they were brought before the grievance panel on nothing but trifle accusations... while taking no initiative to take action against prosecutors who have placed innocent black people in jail for decades."

No, you are notorious for being a black on white huilt presuming racist who hates the NC Bar for establishing that nifong became one of the most corrupt prosecutors in US and NC history who prosecuted innocent Caucasian men falsely accused of rapng a black woman just to curry favor with the racist elements of the Durham Black Electorate. nifong had almost no support from the Durham electorate before he began the wrongful prosecution of the Lacrosse players. He got enough to win the election AFTER he began said, documented wrongful prosecution.


"One doesn't need to be an authority on the Duke Lacrosse case to see the Bar's pattern of selective injustice."

You have established you are an expert on nothing and your concept of the "Bar's pattern of selective injustice" is similar to your anger at AG Cooper because he did not proclaim innocent men guilty of raping crystal. You are angry at the Bar because they exposed nifong's obvious unethical and corrupt behavior.

Sidney,

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Mangum's arrest. You have written dozens of letters, court filings, sharlogs and comments, but have accomplished nothing.

In five years, you have failed to address the legal issues. Your analysis is incomplete. People ignore you because you provide no evidence to support your claims. You conclude that the esophageal intubation is automatically an intervening cause. You ignore advice from attorneys that medical malpractice is NOT generally an intervening cause. Despite advice, you refuse to reconsider your conclusion or conduct research to confirm it. You make useless filings in jurisdictions with no power to overturn the conviction and file appeals on grounds a court cannot consider.

You have squandered a valuable resource. Posters on this board provide knowledgable advice, which you ignore. Magnum is not well served by efforts not grounded in reality.

"Then comes the spin from those committed to the narrative that 'something must have happened,' as Jay Bilas, an ESPN analyst and lawyer pointed out.

'I understand people saying [that something happened in the bathroom], there's just no evidence of it. And none of it's credible. In fact, every piece of evidence points to the fact that nothing did and it was impossible for it to have happened," Bilas said. "And if you look at all of the inconsistent statements, the evidence that wasn't there, it's an impossibility.'"

kenhyderal decries the indulgence in speculative explanations and the lack of due diligence in investigating the Duke case.

kenhyderal alleges that there were uunidentified party goers wo raped crystal. He calls the DNA from ubknown males as evidence of this. He has also said no one could estabilsh the time that DNAwas deposited, which means tat it can not be established that the DNA was deposited at the party on the night of 13/14 March 2006. I read asource that said there is a 72 hour window in which DNA could be deposited on a female. As it is certain that crystal did not engage in sex after the party, the 72 hour window was from Thursday 11 March tp Saturday 13 March. Walt, I believe, has provided documentation that crystal made several contacts with males in tat period. kenny says, and I say again, KENNY says it is possible the DNAwas deposited at the party. What kenny does not say is that it is possible the DNA could have deposited before the party.

kenny's allegation that unidentified rapists raped crystal at the party is based on what kilgo told him, that he had a friend on the Lacrosse team who told kilgo he had witnessed the rape being perpetrated by non Lacrosse tram party attendees. kilgo has since vanished from J4N, along with all of his J4N posts. kenny can not document that kilgo ever told him anything about a Lacrosse player friend. that Lacrosse player friend has not materialized over the now more than ten years since the party.

So let the readers decide. Is kenny exercising due diligence in this matter. Or is kenny indulging in speculative explanations?

kenny is a pathological liar. He has been lying about the Duke lacrosse case for years.

Anonymous said...

kenhyderal has also decried that no attempt was ever made to identify the ubknown males who left their DNA on crystal. Foer some reason, he implies this was the responsibility of the defendants and their attorneys. So here is some speculation.

The DNA did not match the DNA of the defendants. Why would the defendants and their attorneys try to block the revelation of other suspects, suspects whose DNA matched the DNA found on Crystal?

The defendants and their attorneys were unaware of that DNA evidence until December of 2006, about 9 months after the Lacrosse party. The presence of the DNA from unknown males on Crystal's person was made public knowledge by the defense attorneys.

The evidence was the result of a Non Testimobial order obtained by the Durham DA office, headed by nifong. Who had custody of that evidence between early April of 2006 and Decenber 2006. No one but nifong. So who was responsible for the failure to identify the males who had left their DNA No one but nifong.

So again I ak the readers. Was kenny using due diligence in alleging that mystery rapists raped crystal at the Lacrosse party. Or was he indulging in seculative explanations not based on any facts?

Anonymous said...

On the material assumed to be Semen by Doctor Manly:

I once pointed out to kenny that Dr. Manly should have done a wet mount. If the material was semen, a wet mount would have revealed motile sperm and confirmed it was semen. Kenny's response was, that would have been only cya medicine.

The rape kit materials tested negative for alkaline phosphatase, a marker for semen. NA Security also tested the rape kit materials for markers for semen and found no such markers. Those tests definitively excluded the presence of semen.

So, when kenny refers to what Dr. Manly found, is he exercising due diligence, or is he indulging in speculative explanations which have no basis in fact?

Kenny:

If you really are so hot and bothered over the failure to identify the source of the male NA found on crystal, the failure to run the DNA through the National and State data bases, then engage in some due diligence and explain why nifong concealed the evidence rather than chase down the source.

Contrary to your ridiculous claim, nifong did conceal the evidence. Look at the ESPN documentary. Look at the part when under cross examination, Meehan admitted he and Nifong agreed not to report the finding of DNA from unidentified males to the defendants.

harr:

Again I remind you of the North Carolina law regarding a Non Testimonial Order:

http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/PDF/ByArticle/Chapter_15A/Article_14.pdf:

"§ 15A-273. Basis for order.
An order may issue only on an affidavit or affidavits sworn to before the judge and
establishing the following grounds for the order:
(1) That there is probable cause to believe that a felony offense, or a Class A1 or
Class 1 misdemeanor offense has been committed;
(2) That there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the person named or
described in the affidavit committed the offense; and
(3) That the results of specific nontestimonial identification procedures will be of
material aid in determining whether the person named in the affidavit
committed the offense. (1973, c. 1286, s. 1; 1997-80, s. 14.)"

In her allegation of rape(and crystl did describe thr sexual assault as a gang rape in which multiple males who did not use condoms penetrated her and ejaculated on her), crystal never alleged that each and every member of the Lacrosse team assaulted her, so there was no probable cause to require each and every Caucasian team member to give a sample.

"§ 15A-282. Copy of results to person involved.
A person who has been the subject of nontestimonial identification procedures or his attorney
must be provided with a copy of any REPORTS(emphasis added) of test results as soon as the reports are available.
(1973, c. 1286, s. 1.)"

You have admitted that nifong gave the defense raw data, not reports. I suggest you watch the ESPN documentary. Under cross examination,
Brian Meehan admitted he and nifong agreed not to report the finding, that the only male DNA found on crystal did not match the DNA of the people nifong had named as suspects.

So explain why you believe nifong did not withhold exculpatory evidence from the defendants. Explain your belief that the evidence was not exculpatory. That it did not prove the defendants did not commit rape is legally meaningless. The prosecution had the obligation to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants did commit rape. Why would the evidence, the only male DNA found on crystal's person did not match the DNA of the accused, why would that evidence not raise reasonable doubt of their guilt?

To borrow kenny's words, engage in due diligence, not in speculative explanations not at all based in fact.

And yes you havebeen preaching for the past 4+ years that crystal had been raped by mrmbers of the Lacrosse team, and that she had been prosecuted for murder in retliation fr accusing the Lacrosse team members.

kenhyderal said...

The three charged and their Attorneys probably know who the rapists are. They would have realized had they revealed such information the involvement of two of them in a sexual assault and a kidnapping might possibly of been shown.

John D. Smith said...

Kenny states: The three charged and their Attorneys probably know who the rapists are.

In my mind, the word "probable" means "more likely than not." You seem to be using it as meaning "impossible to prove false with absolute certainty." My definition appears to be much more widely accepted than yours.

Because it is far, far more likely that there were no mystery rapists, using the more common definition, it is not probable that the defendants and their attorneys do know who the mystery rapists are because there are no mystery rapists to know.

I suggest that when you adopt unusual definitions for common terms, that you clarify your use of such terms. Otherwise, readers may conclude that you are intellectually dishonest.

There is no evidence that a rape ever took place.

The challenge to you and harr was to provide evidence that a rape took pace. You haven't. Now you, like harr before you are presenting a straw fisherman holding up a red herring in an attempt to dodge and duck the truth, that crystal lied about being raped.

To re issue a challenge, explain why nifong did not chase down the identities of the men who deposited their DNA on crystal, if you really do think that failure was significant.

Maybe you can answer this. Why do you and harr get such a charge out of believing crystal was the victim of a brutal gang rape. Sane rational men would not get a charge out of imagining a woman had been raped.

Anonymous said...

harr, this is for you.

You did claim that when nifong dropped the rape charges, he showed he was an honorable prosecutor.

How did you come to that idea?

Your explanation was, most prosecutors would have still prosecuted for rape.

The situation was, the alleged crime allegedly took place in March of 2006. nifong did not have his complaining witness directly interviewed until December of 2006 She said in that interview she could not recall being penetrated. In her original allegation, crystal alleged she had been penetrated, by multiple assailants. A decent, honorable prosecutor would not have waited 9 months to have his complaining witness directly interviewed. A decent honorable prosecutor would have realized his complaining witness was not credible and would have dropped all charges rather than continue to prosecute, rather than wait 9 months to interview her.

The deal was, nifong did realize he lacked any DNA evidence to implicate the men he had indicted. His thinking was, he did not need DNA to convict on a charge of sexual assault. It was a cynical attempt on his part to exclude the DNA evidence, the lack thereof actually, from the case.

I say, how wrong he was. The sexual assault alleged by crystal was a gang rape in which multiple assailants, not using condoms, had assaulted her, penetrated her and had ejaculated on her, thus leaving their DNA. nifong was either incredibly stupid or incredibly desperate if he believed he could convict by excluding the DNA evidence, which he did try to conceal.

He was desperate. This was mentioned i the ESPN Documentary of which you are so fearful. nifong promised the voters who elected him that he would not drop the case but would get convictions.

I bet now he wishes he had dropped the charges.

In any event, the statement is another meaningless statement from the king ogf meaningless. No rape had happened. The king of meaningless has presented no evidence that a rape did happen.

I don't believe he believes his preposterous statements. He realizes most commenters were drawn here to respond to Sidney's inane support of Mike Nifong and correct his misstatements. His objective is to annoy other commenters. His invention of mystery rapists is a clever way to respond to evidence that exonerates the defendants, while continuing to insinuate they had a role in a heinous crime. He takes advantage of the failure to investigate the highest profile crime in Durham history.

In addition to trolling the commenters here, Kenny is also trolling Sidney. In the same spirit as Break, Kenny appears on the surface to agree with everything Sidney is doing and saying. Kenny realizes Sidney is utterly clueless and will accomplish nothing. No real friend of Crystal would ever encourage her to rely on Sidney for legal assistance.

It is possible Kenny is just as clueless as Sidney. I believe it is far more likely he is a "clever" troll.

With regards to being desperate for election, I disagree with the ESPN assertion that he, an incumbent, was trailing in the polls. Besides, relying on the black vote to win an election doesn't make sense and is a sure way to lose.

As far as Nifong telling black voters that he would prosecute the Duke Lacrosse case: What I get from that statement is that he is going to carry out an objective, fair, and good-faith prosecution of the case.

Hypothetical situation: Suppose the male DNA on crystal had matched the DNA of nifong's suspects, would nifong have tried to prosecute them?

DNA technology was available in the Duke Rape Hoax. The male NA found on crystal did not match the DNA of nifong's suspects. That absolutely ruled them out as perpetrators. So why did nifong not want the DNA evidence introduced/ He wanted to prosecute the defenddants even though the DNA evidence did exonerate them.

Don't go with, nifong did not need DNA evidence to convict them of a sexual assault. Again, the sexual assault crystal described was a gng rape in which multiple males who did not use condoms left their DNA on her person. nifong could not have legitimately convicted anyone of that kind of assault without introducing DNA evidence.

You claim that nifong's intention was to conduct a good faith prosecution. nifong did not intend to conduct a good faith prosecution.

You claim that courting the black vote would have cost nifong the election, based on the number of black voters throughout the nation and on how many of them vote.

That did not apply in Durham. In Durham county, nifong had to win the Democratic primary in order to win the general election. One could not win the Democratic primary in Durham without the support of the black electorate.

The only poll done in Durham prior to the primary was Freda Black's poll, which was done before the Duke Rape Hoax became an issue. It showed nifong with support of 20% of the electorate as compared to Freda Black's 38%. nifong's campaign never produced any result to show differently. After the Duke Rape Hoax became an issue and nifong became very vocal about it, when the primary happened, nifong bot more than double than 20% of the black vote, more than double 20% of the white vote. Making an issue of the rape hoax with all voters, black and white, won nifong the election.

That is elementay deduction, something of which you have shown you are incapable.

If, and mind you I am saying IF, the male DNA found on crystal had matched the DNA of nifong's suspects, would nifong have said he would have gotten a conviction the old fashioned way relying on the medical evidence and the victim's testimony?

Just remember, nifong did not try to find out for about 9 mobths what crystal's testimony would be. When he did find out, crystal had changed her story rather drastically. Initially in March of 2006, she alleged nultiple males not wearing condoms had penetrated her. In December of 2006, she said she could not recall being penetrated.

nd you say nifong did something decent and honorable when he dropped the rape charges but continued to prosecute for sexual assault. If nifong had been decent and honorable, he would have recognized his complaining witness was not credible and would have dropped all charges.

That he did not dismiss the charges is yet more evidence nifong had no intentuion of conducting a good faith prosecution.

Now, how about you admit you have no evidence that crystal told the truth when she alleged she had been raped.

These are cases of convicted felons exonerated by DNA evidence, many of which were rape cases in which the male DNA recovered from the victim did not match the DNA of the accused. It has been thoroughly and extensively documented that this scenario, a rape happened, a man is accused and convicted, the DNA recovered from the victim does not match the DNA of the accused, the accused was not the rapist.

The Durham DA office, headed by nifong, was aware of this. When the DA's office requested the NTO requiring all the Cacasian males on the Lacrosse team to give samples for DNA analysis, the justification was, the DNA would identify the perpetrators and exonerate the innocent.

In the Duke Rape Hoax, the male DNA recovered from crystal's rape kit did not match the DNA of any of the men nifong accused. So why do you call nifong's attempt to prosecute members of the Lacrosse team for rape a good faith prosecution?

Citing successful prosecutions for rape when DNA technology was not available is another iteration of flashing a straw fisherman holding a red herring. It is totally inapplicable to the Duke Rape Hoax. DNA technology was obviously available, and it obviously did exonerate the accused. So why was nifong justified in prosecuting without DNA evidence of guilt. Why was nifong justified in prosecuting the Lacrosse players in spite of having DNA evidence which did prove their innocence?

This is relevant to your crusade for crystal. You have been preaching for 10+ years that crystal was raped and preaching for 4+ years that she was prosecuted for the murder of Reginald Daye in retaliation for accusing the Lacrosse players of rape.

?he evidence is overwhelming that nifong had no intention of conducting a good faith prosecution.

Referring o Walt's comment of April 5, 2016 at 7:58 AM:

The lineup procedure i which crystal identified ReadeSeligman, Colin Finnerty and David Evans, it was improper.

According to Federal Guidelines ad DPD guidelines, the lineup is to have pictures of fillers as well as suspects, several fillers to each suspect. The witness is not to be told that the suspects are in the lineup. The officer conductingthe lineup is not to be directly involved with the investigation.

This lineup contained only suspects, crystal was told the suspects were in the lineup, the lineup was conducted by Mark Gottlieb who was involved in the investigation. And this lineup was done at the order of nifong.

You once claimed nifong did not try to manufacture evidence. Via this lineup nifong DID try to manufacture evidence.

In turn, that is evidence that nifong had no intention of conducting a good faith investigation.

I am waiting to see how many straw fishermen with red herrings you will try to flash this time.

Sidney,

I understand that you concluded that the esophageal intubation was an intervening cause of Daye's death and therefore Magnum is not responsible. However, you have not been clear as to your reasoning. I would appreciate greater clarity.

Particularly because two experts--both Nichols and Roberts--reached a contrary conclusion, i.e., the esophageal intubation was NOT an intervening cause, the onus is on you to demonstrate that they were in error. I agree that Nichols' autopsy was at best sloppy; its failure to summarize the chain of events that culminated in Daye's death was inexcusable. However, I do not understand your criticism of Roberts' work; you appear to conclude she is conspiring against Magnum because you disagree with her conclusion.

You have made several arguments.

Some of these arguments are not serious. For example, you argued that Daye died as a result of the voluntary decision to take him off life support, and Magnum could not be responsible because she was not consulted in that decision. This argument was ridiculous, and fortunately you dropped it. Similarly, you argue that the initial prognosis after surgery was for a full recovery, and Mangum's responsibility ended with that prognosis. This argument fails to take into account complications, such as infection, that clearly would not cut off Mangum's responsibility.

Currently, you appear to argue that the esophageal intubation represents medical malpractice and necessarily cuts off Mangum's liability. This conclusion appears to conflict with case law Walt and A Lawyer provided. You disagree with their legal conclusion, but have provided no case law and/or other information to support your conclusion.

Your other argument appears to be that the intubation was treatment for delirium tremens and not the stab wound, and therefore Magnum is not responsible for the outcome. This is an interesting argument, but you must provide additional information to be convincing.

First, rather than simply announcing your medical conclusion that the intubation was needed as a result of the DTs, you must provide a detailed and specific analysis of the medical reports that support your medical conclusion. Most of your readers are not medical experts and are not able to understand how you reached that conclusion and two experts missed it. Second, you must provide a legal analysis that supports your legal conclusion that treatment for DTs breaks the chain and cuts off Mangum's liability. Although I recognize that you are not able to use the law library most convenient for you, I suggest that you use the internet to provide case law to support your legal conclusion.

Otherwise, you appear to be arguing that we should accept your medical and legal opinions as binding despite your lack of expertise and disregard contrary opinions provided by medical and legal experts simply because they disagree with you.

Thank you in advance.

You claim nifong did not withhold anything from the defense.

According to the ESPN documentary, the defense got the raw data in December of 2006, months after DNA Security had givn the information to nifong, that the only male DNA found on crystal did not match the DNA of the mn=en he had accused. nifong turned the raw data over to the defense because the requested the data. nifong did not turn over the data on his own initiative.

As I have posted earlier, it has been thoroughly documented, that in this scenario, someone is accused of rape but the DNA recovered from the victim does not match the DNA of the accused, that kind of result shows conclusively that the accused was not the rapist.

And, under oath, Brian Meehan testified that he had given the information to nifong, and that he and nifong agreed they would not report all the results to the defense not only was there no DNA from the suspects on the rape kit, there was male DNA from multiple, other unidentified males.

nifong did have exculpatory evidence, he did conceal the evidence from the defense, ad he lied to the court about the evidence.

This is relevant, again, in this discussion because you have repeatedly, that crystal was prosecuted for Reginald Dayes murder by the powers that be in retaliation for accusing the Lacrosse players of rape. crystal FALSELY accused the Lacrosse players of rape. And crystal was prosecuted not because she accused the Lacrosse players butbecause she killed Reginald Daye.

You have said that nifong turned over thousands of pages of boscovert material to the Lacrosse defendants and that is true.

Judging from what was said in the video, he did not turn the raw data from DNA Security until after he had told a judge he had turned over everything.

And he DID NOT inform the defendants in a timely manner that the only male DNA found on crystal's person after the Lacrosse party DID NOT match the DNA of any tested member of the Lacrosse team, the group of people designated as suspects by the NTO.

The fact is, nifong obtained evidence that exonerated the defendants and he concealed it.

Concealing that evidence is evidence that nifong never intended to conduct a "good faith" prosecution.

Hey harr:

Why was Reginald Daye at risk if an abdominal infection?

crystal stabbed him. The stab wound lacerated his colon. His intra abdominal cavity was exposed to colonic contamination for possibly a couple hours. It would take time for first resoponders to get to Reginald Daye. It would take time for them to prepare him for the ride to the hospital, e.g. they had to insert the IV. It would take time to get him admitted. It would take time to get him prepped for surgery. Itwould take time to get him anesthetized.

I know, from experience you do not hae, that exposure of the abdominal cavity to less than a minute's worth of colonic contamination can result in an intra abdominal infection. Any knowledgeable physician would know that Reginald Daye was at risk without having an Infectious Disease specialist.

The aspiration was a consequence of an evaluation for an intra abdominal infection. Reginald Daye was at risk of an intra abdominal infection because crystal stabbed him. That is the nexus you claim does not exist.

And you believe that DTs can prevent intra abdominal infections - right?

Anonymous said...

hey harr:

Concerning DTs

Your case hinges on the blood alcohol of almost 300.

A blood alcohol level that high would render even most chronic alcoholics comatose. If an alcoholic could have tolerated a Blood alcohol level that high, that could have only happened if he had ingested large quantities of alcohol over a period of years. Liver damage in an alcoholic is a consequence of heavy exposure to alcohol and the toxic substances resulting from alcohol metabolism. Anyone who could tolerate an alcohol level that high would have had liver damage. Reginald Daye's liver was normal at autopsy. Putting all that together, the blood alcohol of almost 300 was most likely a lab error.

The symptoms, fever, tachycardia, confusion, are symptoms of an infection,including an intra abdominal infection. Your continued statements, that the prognosis was for a full recovery is meaningless. It shows only that you have never treated any major surgical post op patients. Reginald Daye remained at risk for intra abdominal infections in the post op period. gain, I base that opinion on actual experience which you simply do not have.

And even if Reginald Daye had gone into DTs, that did not exclude the possibility of an intra abdominal infectious process. I say again, you seem to believe that Dts insulate a patient at risk of infection from that infection.

More for kenny, and his concern that the identities of the men who had deposited on crystal were never determined.

At the 9:33 mark, it is noted, on April 7, 2006, nifong was informed that DNA from multiple males, DNA which did not match the DNA of any member of the Lacrosse team, had been found on crystal's person. So who was in a position at that time to determine the identities of the unknown males? nifong.

What did nifong do? Nifong sought indictments against Colin Finnerty and Reade Seligmam. This starts at te !0:56 mark.

At the 13:45 mark what happens, the prosecutor points out that nifong wnted a written report that showed only DNA matches. He did not ask for a report which showed the DNA which did not match the DNA of the Lacrosse players. There was male DA on a false fingernail which was a partial match to David Evans. Four days after ssking for the report, nifong sought an indictment of David Evans, whose DNA did not match the Male DNA found on the Rape kit. I have previously asked this question, why DNA which is a partial match to David Evans implicate him in the alleged crime but the failure to find his DNA on the rape kit not exonerate him?

For kenny, nifong was the only one in position to identify the males who had deposited their DNA and he failed to do so.

For harr: Nifong sought indictments against three men whose DNA was not found on the rape kit.

nifong had no intention of conducting a good faith prosecution.

the relevance is, harr's contention is that crystal was raped, she accused members of the Lacrosse tram, and thaat the murder prosecution was retaliation for that.

Kenny hissy fit:

Who was responsible for the inadequate police investigation of crystal's rape allegation? Would it not be the person who took charge of the investigation, nifong? If crystal had been raped as she had alleged, would the perpetrators have left their DNA? Why did nifong seek indictments against men whose DNA did not match the DNA found on crystal and conceal the existence of the DNA which was found on crystal?

If, moreover, you ask a sarcastic question, this makes you a "wounded" man.

hey harr:

Concerning DTs

Your case hinges on the blood alcohol of almost 300.

A blood alcohol level that high would render even most chronic alcoholics comatose. If an alcoholic could have tolerated a Blood alcohol level that high, that could have only happened if he had ingested large quantities of alcohol over a period of years. Liver damage in an alcoholic is a consequence of heavy exposure to alcohol and the toxic substances resulting from alcohol metabolism. Anyone who could tolerate an alcohol level that high would have had liver damage. Reginald Daye's liver was normal at autopsy. Putting all that together, the blood alcohol of almost 300 was most likely a lab error.

The symptoms, fever, tachycardia, confusion, are symptoms of an infection,including an intra abdominal infection. Your continued statements, that the prognosis was for a full recovery is meaningless. It shows only that you have never treated any major surgical post op patients. Reginald Daye remained at risk for intra abdominal infections in the post op period. gain, I base that opinion on actual experience which you simply do not have.

And even if Reginald Daye had gone into DTs, that did not exclude the possibility of an intra abdominal infectious process. I say again, you seem to believe that Dts insulate a patient at risk of infection from that infection.


The main problem you have is that you believe that Daye's liver was normal in appearance. The fact is that you can't believe anything in Dr. Nichols' autopsy report. Furthermore Dr. Nichols failed to take photographs of the organs per standard protocol. I place more confidence in the lab work that stated Daye had an elevated blood alcohol of 296 mg/dL than anything in the autopsy report.

Also, are you trying to blame Daye's brain death on a possible intra-abodominal infection instead of an esophageal intubation? Please clarify that issue as I require further edification.

If you're talking about the video "Fantastic Lies" by ESPN, I did suffer through it... my daughter copied it on a disc for me.

As far as the State Bar goes, it had Nifong in its cross-hairs within weeks of his taking on the prosecution of the Duke Lacrosse case. It was excessively critical of him for interviews he gave to the media... long before he even named any suspects. Unheard of behavior by the State Bar.

Sidney asks: Also, are you trying to blame Daye's brain death on a possible intra-abodominal infection instead of an esophageal intubation? Please clarify that issue as I require further edification.

Sidney, stop being disingenuous. No one is trying to suggest Daye's brain death was not the result of the esophageal intubation. The chain of events suggested is as follows: Mangum stabbed Daye. The stab wound caused an intra-abdominal infection. Treatment for the intra-abdominal infection required an intubation. The initial intubation was esophageal, cutting off oxygen to the brain. The lack of oxygen to the brain resulted in brain death. Daye was removed from life support, and he died.

The question is whether the esophageal intubation was an intervening cause. Nichols and Roberts concluded it was not, but did not explain why they reached that conclusion. You concluded that it was, but you also do not explain your conclusion or provide evidence to support it.

The stab wound and the intubation are both proximate causes of death. If the intubation was not an intervening cause, Mangum remains liable. If it was, she is not responsible. This question has both medical and legal aspects. While you have provided your medical and legal conclusions, you have failed to support them with specific evidence and case law. As a result, your analysis is incomplete. For that reason, the unsupported opinions of a friend of the defendant with no expertise are not sufficient to overcome the opinions of medical and legal experts.

As I have asked in prior comments, please finish your analysis. You have failed to do so in five years.

What is unheard of behavior is for a Prosecutor to go public, before any investigation and state that a crime had happened, that members of a certain group were the perpetrators, and that the crime was racially motivated.

When Ben Roethlisberger was accused of a Sex crime in Georgia(http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4970050: "Tom Davis, the special agent in charge of the regional Georgia Bureau of Investigation in Milledgeville, told ESPN on Saturday that Milledgeville police and the GBI will be working the case throughout the weekend and into next week. Authorities had no plans to comment further until Monday at the earliest.").

Hypotheical situation: you are accused of a violrnt sexual assault. What kind of public statement should the prosecutor make?

Scenario 1: there was a violent sex crime. A black retired physician did it. He would not need to hire a lawyer if he did nothing. He would not remain silent if he did nothing.

OR:

Scenario 2: The incident is under investigation and we will say nothing until the investigation is completed.

Under which scenario would your rights have been violated.

harr, here is some more of the hypothetical scenario:

Suppose you had an alibi which proved 100% certainty you were not at the crime scene when the alleged crime allegedly happened. Should the prosecutor hear your alibi, or should he dismiss it as contrived?

Suppose, after an investigation, there was no evidence to show that you or any other black physician could have possibly committed the alleged crime. Should the prosecutor continue the attempt to charge a retired black physician, or should the prosecutor look for another suspect.

Should the prosecutor conduct a contrived lineup procedure to maneuver the alleged victim into identifying you as her assailant?

If the alleged victim recants her story(which crystal did when she was interviewed by the DA's office in December of 2006, what would be the honorable thing to do, drop the charges or continue to prosecute?

The Duke Lacrosse Hoax was this in a nutshell, the evidence showed that none of the Lacrosse players perpetrated the alleged crime, nifong did not look for other suspects, he had conducted a contrived lineup so crystal would identify members of the Lacrosse team as suspects, refused to look at alibi evidence, and conyinued to prosecute after the victim recanted.

And you are saying,if you were falsely accused of a rape, that you should be treated that way - right? After all you have said that nifong's intention was to cconduct a good faith prosecution - right?

Sidney asks: So, your position is that lack of DNA is enough to rule out a sexual assault?

While I am not the commenter to which the question was directed, I will provide an answer. I believe there are similarities in my opinion and the opinion of the commenter to whom you responded.

No, I do not believe that the lack of DNA is enough to rule out all forms of sexual assault.

However, I do believe that the lack of DNA is enough to rule out a sexual assault in which the attackers ejaculated and did not use condoms. For that reason, I believe that the lack of DNA is enough to prove false specific allegations which include an attack in which the alleged perpetrators ejaculated and did not use condoms. While it is possible that a complaining witness can be mistaken as to details, I do not believe that a prosecutor can decide unilaterally to change such details when they are proven false. I believe that particularly when specific allegations are proven false that a prosecutor has the duty to discuss on a timely basis such allegations with the accuser. I believe that inaccuracies with respect to details in an accusation raise questions about the credibility of the accuser. I believe that identifications made by an accuser whose specific allegations have been proven false are unreliable, particularly when such identifications are made in a procedure that violates established standards. Finally, I believe that a prosecutor should not indict defendants based solely on unreliable identifications that are contradicted by other evidence, but rather should insist that the police conduct a full investigation.

Based on your repeated assertions that Mike Nifong is an "honorable" prosecutor, I understand that you disagree with all of the opinions I expressed in the preceding paragraph. Is that correct?

Sidney,

I understand that you concluded that the esophageal intubation was an intervening cause of Daye's death and therefore Magnum is not responsible. However, you have not been clear as to your reasoning. I would appreciate greater clarity.



MUCH OF THE BODY OF COMMENT REMOVED TO ALLOW ENOUGH CHARACTERS FOR RESPONSE.

Otherwise, you appear to be arguing that we should accept your medical and legal opinions as binding despite your lack of expertise and disregard contrary opinions provided by medical and legal experts simply because they disagree with you.

Thank you in advance.

John D. Smith

Hey, John D. Smith.

I will attempt to provide sufficient edification for you regarding your queries.

First, I believe that the medical records and even Roberts' assessment are in agreement that the initial intubation of Daye was esophageal. There are many times on my blog features where I've posted the article which states that esophageal intubation is invariably fatal if not corrected immediately (because during esophageal intubation oxygen is not reaching the lungs... which means oxygen is not transferred to red blood cells... which means red blood cells do not carry oxygen to cells throughout the body).

The endotracheal tube was left in Daye's esophagus until he went into cardiac arrest, at which time the medical staff realized the errant tube placement and replaced the tube a second time... this time in the trachea. With oxygen flow re-established to the lungs and with concomitant CPR, Daye's heart was resuscitated, but his brain had been without oxygen too long. Now, can we agree that the esophageal intubation was the sole cause of brain death, and had Daye not been intubated in the esophagus with the tube left in place he would not have sustained brain death.

Mangum had nothing to do with the intubation. The intubation was not related to the stab wound or to the surgical repair. Furthermore, neither Dr. Nichols nor Dr. Roberts give a specific explanation as to the cause of Daye's brain death.

Dr. Nichols autopsy report was far worse than sloppy, it was fraudulent with the intent to mislead... to suggest injuries sustained by the knife wound were worse than they actually were and that the so-called "phantom" wounds to his left upper extremity were "defensive injuries." Dr. Nichols violated standard autopsy protocol by failing to take photos of the so-called injuries. He definitely had the opportunity to document them with photos and his failure to do so is inexcusable.

I disagree with her conclusion which tends to be more along misguided legal lines than medical ones with her stating that the stab wound resulted in him ending up in the hospital where he died, and therefore she is responsible for his death. Nonsensical reasoning. However, the main problem I have with Dr. Roberts is her attempt to shield Duke University Hospital staff from liability in Daye's brain death. Dr. Roberts is forced to admit that the initial intubation is esophageal because the end-tidal CO2 monitor reading is negative. But then she falsely states that the initial tube place in the esophagus is removed and replaced with a second tube properly situated in the trachea before Daye goes into cardiac arrest. By so doing, she removes the esophageal intubation from being in play in causing the cardiac arrest. Then Dr. Roberts states that a third intubation was done following Daye's cardiac arrest and resuscitation because of low oxygenated blood (not an excuse for replacing a tube properly in the airway).

As far as infection goes, there is no indication whatever that Daye was even treated for a systemic infection... no blood cultures, no urine cultures, no sputum cultures... and most importantly, no infectious disease consult.

Without doubt, at least in my mind, the cause of Daye's extreme agitation was delirium tremens and not an infection.

There are many times on my blog features where I've posted the article which states that esophageal intubation is invariably fatal if not corrected immediately (because during esophageal intubation oxygen is not reaching the lungs... which means oxygen is not transferred to red blood cells... which means red blood cells do not carry oxygen to cells throughout the body)."

You misrepresent the situation. The treating physicians did recognize the situation and did try to deal with it. That they were unsuccessful was tragic but not negligence.

"The endotracheal tube was left in Daye's esophagus until he went into cardiac arrest, at which time the medical staff realized the errant tube placement and replaced the tube a second time... this time in the trachea. With oxygen flow re-established to the lungs and with concomitant CPR, Daye's heart was resuscitated, but his brain had been without oxygen too long. Now, can we agree that the esophageal intubation was the sole cause of brain death, and had Daye not been intubated in the esophagus with the tube left in place he would not have sustained brain death."

The need for intubation arose when Reginald Daye aspirated when he was being worked up for an intra abdominal infection. He was put at risk for an intra abdominal infection when crystal stabbed him. The workup, the intubation would have never been necessary had crystal not stabbed him.

"Mangum had nothing to do with the intubation. The intubation was not related to the stab wound or to the surgical repair. Furthermore, neither Dr. Nichols nor Dr. Roberts give a specific explanation as to the cause of Daye's brain death."

I say again, the intubation was necessary because crystal stabbed him. The intubation was related to the stab wound and the surgery necessitated by the stab wound. mangum had everything to do with the intubation.

"Dr. Nichols autopsy report was far worse than sloppy, it was fraudulent with the intent to mislead... to suggest injuries sustained by the knife wound were worse than they actually were and that the so-called "phantom" wounds to his left upper extremity were "defensive injuries." Dr. Nichols violated standard autopsy protocol by failing to take photos of the so-called injuries. He definitely had the opportunity to document them with photos and his failure to do so is inexcusable."

Again harr lies.

the atest fromharr part two:

"I disagree with her conclusion which tends to be more along misguided legal lines than medical ones with her stating that the stab wound resulted in him ending up in the hospital where he died, and therefore she is responsible for his death. Nonsensical reasoning. However, the main problem I have with Dr. Roberts is her attempt to shield Duke University Hospital staff from liability in Daye's brain death."

As there was no negligence, there was no need to shield Duke from liability.

"Dr. Roberts is forced to admit that the initial intubation is esophageal because the end-tidal CO2 monitor reading is negative. But then she falsely states that the initial tube place in the esophagus is removed and replaced with a second tube properly situated in the trachea before Daye goes into cardiac arrest."

Dr. Roberts, who IS competent, which you are not, said the esophageal intubation happened because the vomitus blocked a clear view of the upper airway. Because you, te minimally trained, minimally experienced medical school graduate are incapable of recognizing the risk of intra abdominal infection following a colon laceration, does not rule it put.

"By so doing, she removes the esophageal intubation from being in play in causing the cardiac arrest. Then Dr. Roberts states that a third intubation was done following Daye's cardiac arrest and resuscitation because of low oxygenated blood (not an excuse for replacing a tube properly in the airway)."

Which means that the treating physicians did recognize the situation an were treating it.

"As far as infection goes, there is no indication whatever that Daye was even treated for a systemic infection... no blood cultures, no urine cultures, no sputum cultures... and most importantly, no infectious disease consult."

Again harr, just because you are a completely incompetent physician who can not recognize the risk of intra abdominal following a colon laceration, that does not rule it out intra abdominal infection

"Without doubt, at least in my mind, the cause of Daye's extreme agitation was delirium tremens and not an infection."

Presumes a fact not in evidence, that you have the mind of a competent, experienced physician.

hay harr:

With all your spouting off, passing yourself as a medical expert, you have never established yourself as a medical expert.

Give drtails of your training and your experience.

That entails explaining why you were never accepted into residency training and never achieved medical board certifcation.

Specifically, how many intubations have you actually done. How many autopsies have you done? How many surgical procedures you have done. How many times have you treated a colon laceration and cared for the patient in the post operative period?

Unlessyou can document experiebnce in those scenarios, you can not establish you are an expert, and what you call edification and enlightenment is a spurious claim.

harr, more fior you:

I mentioned this in a comment which, coward that you are, you deleted.

I once did an incidental appendectomy on a patient, i.e. it was done in the course af another abdominal procedure.

That exposed his abdominal cavity to colonic contamination. The time of exposure was less than a minute.

Reginald Daye suffered a colon laceration from the stab wound inflicted by crystal. Because of the time it took the first responders to get there, the time it took to transport him to the hospital, the time it took to get him ready for surgery, the time it took to anesthetize him, his abdominal cavity was exposed to colonic contamination for a lot longer than a minute, probably a couple hours.

My patient developed an intra abdominal infection.

Why do you say Reginald Daye was not at risk of an abdominal infection?

Hypothetical situation;

Suppose the two of us had testified at crystal's murder trial. You testify that Reginald Daye's death was not due to the stab wound. I testified it was. I coud prove I knew what I was talking about. You could not prove you knew what you were talking about.

Sid:

You have 266 days to exonerate and free Mangum.

There are 13 days until April 23rd.

It has been 26 days since the Ides of March and 3,221 days since Mike Nifong was disbarred.

Ubes,

You ask really stoopid questions.

Maybe you should join the Liestoopids.

They can always use another crank.

While you are there, you can ask your
stoopid questions- maybe Quasi can help you.
Or are you Quasi?

Remember Ubes, it's all a vast evil conspiracy.

crystal lied about being raped.

nifong is the individual responsible for what kenny calls the sloppy, botched investigation crystal's rape allegations.

Now we are at 200 comments. Now harr the hypocritical fabricating deusional megalomaniacal ignorant liar can open a hole new page of comments the next time he futilely tries to pass himself off as some kind of expert.
