I wonder why Dr. Harr always posts his Complaints when he files one of his frivolous lawsuits, but never posts any of the court decisions against him.


Hey, A Lawyer.

Actually, the court decisions against me usually contain no information, except the standard: "no errors were made, blah, blah, blah." I post my Complaints so that the people can be enlightened about what I'm doing.

There are always time constraints involved. Instead of taking time to post the nonsense of the rulings against me, I believe that my time would be better spent filing lawsuits such as the one I filed today.

Let me know if further elucidation is required.

So, Sidney,
Are you considering marrying Crystal? You'd be able to work as her pro-se attorney, and would spend a lot more time with her.


Hah! Like Trump said, "I'm going to keep you in suspense."

But I won't need to be working for her soon because she's going to be released and exonerated!

It's too bad you're not in New York. I checked and they do have conjugal visits there.

No. You posting your complaints is an example of, if you cant impress prople with your brilliance, then try to baffle them with Bull Shit. Except your BS is so woefully inadequate you only baffle yourself into thinking you are brilliant.

"There are always time constraints involved. Instead of taking time to post the nonsense of the rulings against me, I believe that my time would be better spent filing lawsuits such as the one I filed today."

Which means you have nothing of substance to post.

"Let me know if further elucidation is required."

How can you provide "further elucidation" when you have provided none in the first place?

Another iteration of Sidney Harr baffling himself with woefully inadequate BS.

Sidney Harr has posted that the Lacrosse players were able to shake down Duke University for millions of dollars. I believe Sidney sued Duke because he thought Duke would cave in and offer him a settlement of millions of dollars.

I believe he now thinks he can shake down WRAL and Save the Court for millions of dollars.

Sidney, if I am correct you have to demonstrate you suffered millions of dollars worth of damages. That you felt hurt does not mean you suffered millions of dollars in damages.

Years ago the now defunct USFL filed and won an anti trust suit against the NFL. Check out http://articles.latimes.com/1986-07-30/sports/sp-18643_1_jury-finds-nfl-guilty. The jury determined that they deserved only $1 in damages.

I personally doubt that, in the highly unlikely possibility that your case will ever get to court, that you could demonstrate you suffered millions of dollars worth of damages.

Where I live, many trial lawyer firms advertise on TV, we will fight for all you deserve, and, if you don't collect you don't owe us anything. Do you think any law firm will represent you? You are probably answer, they will take my money and then sell me out.

There are 42 days until February 14th. You have 362 to exonerate and free Mangum in 2017.

It has been 4 day since the end of 2016, 187 days since the end of June 2016, 255 days since April 23, 2016, 294 days since the Ides of March 2016, 1,138 days since Mangum was convicted of murdering Reginald Daye and 3,489 days since Mike Nifong was disbarred. Mangum is scheduled to be released from prison in 3,342 days.

Sidney Harr:

You repeatedly preach that Crystal Mangum was the victim/ accuser in theDuke Rape case. There is and never ws any evidence that Crystal toldthe truth when she claimed she had been raped. Each and every time you repeat that, you are preaching that theinnocent, falsely accused Lacrosse players are guilty of a rather heinous crime.

If any statement is libelous, that one is. Yet you call a few mistaken but innocuous statements libel and I believe you are hoping for a large financial settlement.

Ca we say HYPOCRISY, boys and girls?

Ding-Ding-Ding, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner!

On the issue of Sid's latest filing, WRAL's lawyers are looking forward to some well paid and ultimately successful briefing. I do have a question, now that Brodhead is retiring, Sid, is this an indication that you plan on shifting your litigious attention to Jim Goodman, the triangle's leading limousine liberal?

Sid is making a mistake filing against private companies. The State generally doesn't seek sanctions against frivolous lawsuits - the private entities will.

This will fail as well. Of course, now that this is strictly libel, he's showing it's no longer about Crystal, it's all just about himself.

guiowen said...

So, Sidney,
What exactly is this seismic change that we'll have next month? You couldn't be planning to marry Crystal, could you?

Anonymous said...

Sid - do you even know the elements to libel? You aren't posting your Complaint because you know everyone will tear it apart as totally ridiculous and incorrect - and point out how quickly you are going to lose.

In addition, now that your 2 Federal lawsuits were dismissed (as predicted), is there anything pending that can help Crystal, or are you giving up on that?

Anonymous said...

Walt or A Lawyer -

Should someone explain to Sid that the lawsuit he filed in Federal Court for libel against WRAL and Fix-The-Court will get dismissed because that's the improper venue?

There is no federal question (libel is a state tort), nor is there diversity of parties (the fact he sued WRAL breaks that - Plaintiff and one Defendant are NC).

I can't think of any basis for it being, and remaining, in Federal Court, can you?

Sid, what about it? How are you going to survive that? Or, did you do so little research you don't even know what gets you into Federal Court?

Kenny - still supporting Sid now? He's filing a lawsuit exclusively about himself, and filing it wrong.

Sid - why don't you use Google? You cry about the law library, but Google is easier to use.

Anonymous said...

They won't even file answers - the only question is if the case gets dismissed before they are even required to file a motion asking for it. Lack of diversity in the parties means lack of Federal jurisdiction. This lawsuit is DOA.

A Lawyer said...

1. No federal jurisdiction.
2. First allegedly-libelous statement is not "of and concerning" Sidney Harr.
3. Second allegedly-libelous statement is privileged as fair comment on a judicial proceeding.
Result: dismissal, possibly with sanctions.

How is your time better spent by filing yet another lawsuit that is doomed to an early dismissal?

Do you know the quote, attributed to Einstein, about doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

A Lawyer said...

Two more questions, Dr. Harr:

1. Did you ask your friend Prof. Coleman to look at your Complaint before you filed it?

2. Are you familiar with Rule 8(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure?

Considering Sidney's lawsuit against DA Freeman, he has no concept of jurisdiction.

Wasn't Sidney boasting at one time of his incredible grasp of the law? It was just as incredible as Daedalus' grasp pf aeronautics.

Since Sid and Kenny are silent, let's prepare their responses for them:

Sid:
I'm just a layperson, and they won't give me access to the law library, so it's unfair to hold me responsible to knowing the law, and I refuse to use Google or any of the other resources I can access. In any event, Crystal will be free soon, and you will all be crying. Plus, my lawsuit is so clear and brilliant, they will make an exception to the law and hear my case.

Kenny:
Wah wah wah.

Not much better of a response Kenny.

Does it bother you that Sid has given up trying to help Crystal, and is now simply trying to enrich himself? Clearly he's hoping these companies will settle with him (they won't). Nevermind he's screwing it up.

If you were really a friend of Crystal you wouldn't be so supportive of someone who clearly doesn't know what he's doing.

Anon is onto something. I don't recall Sid posting about Crystal's Habeas petition after his MAR filed in the wrong court thrown out and she was ordered to file a proper Habeas petition. Well, Crystal did, or more likely Sid did given the tone of her argument. As she finally complied with the rules and paid her $5.00 filing fee, North Carolina was ordered to respond by January 28, 2017.

Sadly, Crystal has fallen into Sid's trap with the claim that the Medical Examiner committed fraud. She has no evidence to back that up and, like Sid and Kenny, relies on supposition. Unfortunately, for Crystal, Sid let it out that Crystal's own expert agreed with the Medical Examiner about the cause of death, so her claim there is about as weak as it possibly can be.

Crystal also attempts to blame Ann Peterson in typical Sid fashion without any real showing of how Peterson failed to yield effective assistance. Crystal also blames Woody Vann and her subsequent lawyers for not investigating an anonymous email that Daye "did not die from a stab wound." Unfortunately for Crystal, we all know that in fact Vann did investigate by obtaining an independent medical examiner to substantiate that claim. Due to Sid's disloyalty, we all know what the IME agreed with the cause of death.

Crystal then turns to the quality of the indictment. Shella did file a motion to dismiss which the trial court ignored. As a practical matter, Crystal failed to raise this issue with the trial court over the years she had the opportunity to do so. Thus, she may have waived the issue.

Sid has gone off trying to draw attention and riches to himself. That won't work. But, it is obvious that he has used these last six years to abuse Crystal into a position where she is dependent on him, while he takes advantage of her to promote himself.

Sid,

Between Mangum' habeas petition and your latest lolsuit, it looks like your 2017 started with a thud instead of a bang. 2017 is shaping up to be another year of failure and frustration for you in your continuing quest to subvert justice for your own self aggrandizement and personal benefit.

None of Crystal's Court appointed Attorneys ever took any real initiatives to prove her innocence

Anonymous said...

So what, Kenny? The IME still agreed with Dr. Nichols regarding cause of death. What purpose (other than wasting time and money) did this serve after Dr. Harr brought this matter to the attention of Woody Vann?

Anonymous said...

Wasn't Kenhyderal saying at one time that the doctors who treated Reginald Daye wouldhave disagreed with the medical Examiner's report had they testified. I mean no clinical training, bo clinical experience kenhyderal. I believe that Kenhyderal once claimed he had personally taled tp the treating doctors, then backtracked.

But then, Kenhyderal thinks that riding oon the top of a turnip truck makes him an expert in many fields of study.

A correction is in order. Neither Sidnry Harr nor Kenhyderal have ever had ant facts relevant to the case, jusspeculations.
