Even if Daye were a knife thrower - that doesn't change anything - the physical evidence supported that he let Crystal go.

What physical evidence supported that Daye "let Crystal go?"

Daye, a knife thrower, terrorized Crystal in the wee hours of April 3, 2011... and it was clear that he was in a jealous rage. His anger had a lot to do with his intoxication and nothing to do with money.; March 16, 2017 at 5:00 PM
JSwift said...: Sidney asks: What physical evidence supported that Daye "let Crystal go?"

Blood spatter was found in the hallway of the apartment, not in the bedroom. This blood spatter is consistent with Daye's claim that he released Magnum and walked away, at which time Magnum grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed him.

Kenny,
We've already established that Daye did not throw those knives. Crystal threw them around, expecting that they would bolster her claims of self-defense.

gui, mon ami, Hah. Shirley you jest. How would Crystal throwing knives around bolster her claims of self-defense? First of all, Crystal was the first person out of that apartment... grabbing her purse on the way out and fleeing. Daye later left and when to his nephew's apartment.

Clearly Aykia Hanes gave false testimony about Daye leaving first then Mangum coming to the door and telling Alonzo Breden (Hanes' boyfriend) "Everything's okay." That never happened, or else Breden would have testified. There is no record that Breden was even interviewed.; March 16, 2017 at 5:11 PM

I see WRAL will pursue a claim for attorney's fees. Your hobby of filing lawsuits may begin to get very expensive.

Hey, JSwift.

As Mangum claimed, there was blood found on the mattress in the master bedroom that would support her version of events. Records support that blood swabs were taken from the mattress.; March 16, 2017 at 5:17 PM
JSwift said...: Sidney,

The blood found on the mattress did not match either Magnum or Daye. The blood spatter found in the hallway matched Daye.

Crystal, seeing Reginald Daye was seriously wounded and bleeding after she stabbed him while he was leaving the apartment and knowing she was the perpetrator would throw the knives around and then claim Reginald Daye had done it, to give her a defense when the authorities arrived.; March 16, 2017 at 6:09 PM

You have 290 days left to exonerate and free Mangum in 2017. It has been 2 days since you predicted that Mangum would be released within a matter of weeks.

It has been 2 days since the Ides of March 2017, 31 days since February 14, 2017, 76 days since the end of 2016, 259 days since the end of June 2016, 327 days since April 24, 2016, 367 days since the Ides of March 2016, 1,210 days since Mangum was convicted of murdering Reginald Daye and 3,561 days since Mike Nifong was disbarred. Mangum is scheduled to be released from prison in 3,269 days.

Fornlawsuits, your file a Complaint, the respond with an Answer and Motions to Dismiss ... then you move to Discovery and/or hearings on their motions if you set them. You don't just respond to their Answer and Motions. So Sid wasted all his time filing a document that has no legal significance and was totally unnecessary. For a doctor he sure is incapable of doing basic online research.; March 17, 2017 at 3:34 AM

JSwift said...: Kenny states: It is my understanding that in a clothed and mobile individual the point at which blood is found does not necessarily correspond to the point where the knife penetration occurred.

As a general statement, that is undoubtedly true. Moreover, the science of blood spatter is less precise than the science of DNA. Nevertheless, there is a scientific basis for the determination. The opinion of an expert who reviewed the specific blood spatter in the hallway in this specific case is much more reliable than the biased viewpoint of a self-proclaimed friend of the defendant, who claimed that he read something on the internet that concluded that it "does not necessarily correspond" to the location of an attack.

Kenny, I remind you that you are not reliable.

In our discussion about DNA, you claimed that you had done "research" on DNA that made you so certain of your conclusions that you disparaged those who disagreed with you. As we determined, you were wrong. You had no idea what you were talking about. Those whom you disparaged were correct. To make matters worse, you deliberately edited text from the DNA report to deceive readers into thinking that the report supported your conclusion. I do not believe the deceptive editing was an innocent error resulting from your ignorance of the subject. For that reason, I concluded that you lied.

You have made this claim repeatedly regarding the blood spatter, but, like all other arguments you make, you provide nothing to support it. Your "understanding" contributes little to reasonable doubt.

Anonymous said...: WRAL asking Sidney to withdraw his complaint or they will ask for attorney's fees is quite funny really. Sidney basically has no funds to pay any attorney's fees and he surely would love to continue the fight if WRAL won for fees. WRAL should know that Sidney has being filing lawsuits for years and in all those years no monetary damages has stopped him, because he has no monetary funds to pay. Sidney has the upper hand here so WRAL needs to do like Duke and others have done and quietly get it dismissed and move on(until WRAL II happens and the cycle starts again).; March 17, 2017 at 6:26 AM

If you and Sid are right, wouldn't at least one judge, lawyer, juror, witness, expert, etc. agree with you? Everyone who has been involved in or is familiar with the Daye case disagrees with your and Sid's conclusions and your characterizations of the facts, evidence and law. After 5 years you think you would be able to persuade at least one judge, juror, lawyer, expert - or someone - to your way of thinking if there was any validity at all to your position.

Walt said...: Even though Sid did not favor us with WRAL's filing, we can glean something from his misguided reply.

First, I have written it before, but it is worth repeating, when one needs a lawyer, one really needs a lawyer. Most of Sid's errors would have been solved by a modestly trained lawyer in about his or her second year of practice. Given the glut of lawyers today, there is really no excuse for Sid not seeking counsel. Or, he could have asked James Coleman to look over his frivolous complaint and his equally frivolous reply. Surely if Coleman is such a good friend, he would have happily looked over Sid's legal work and pointed him in the right direction.

Second, Sid really wasted a lot of paper by filing the second half of his reply. No answer to an answer is due unless the first answer asserts a counter-claim. Again, Sid has neglected to favor us with a copy of the Answer and Motion to Dismiss.

Third, Sid's unorthodox form of pleading combined with his usual conspiracy theories makes it very difficult to see if he really has anything. From what I can see his whole argument seems to be "nit picking" with a few phrases.
(a)He doesn't, for any explicable reason, like being identified as being from Durham. This is not actionable. Why he included residence is something I do not understand.
(b) Sid makes a big deal about how Harr I, II and III are not related to the lacrosse hoax. He's going to lose on that issue. Harr I, II and III are replete with references to the hoax.
(c) Sid is vexed about being labeled a vexatious and frivolous litigant. Unfortunately for him, that's the standard in the law that the Federal Court applied and found him to be so. WRAL has every right to publish that finding. This is possibly Sid's worst claim as it goes directly to the heart of the First Amendment. Here, he will lose and probably get sanctioned.
(d) Sid also seems upset, as we all know he is, about the Judge not recusing after she ruled against him once before. Lawyers call this a collateral attack and it won't hold up in state court. The doctrine of federalism will keep a North Carolina Superior Court from considering such a challenge to a co-equal but separate court in the federal system. Here he will lose again.

Sid doesn't really have much of a case against WRAL. They clearly erred in saying he was from Durham when he is not. However, that is such a nit picky error that the court won't award damages. Frankly, as I live in Durham, I'm probably more damaged by WRAL's statement that Sid lives here than he is.

All told, this is just another of Sid's frivolous and vexatious lawsuits. It is destined to fail as all his others have.

Anonymous said...: Kenny,

Does it bother you that Sid is so incapable of even basic research that he is filing documents that are totally frivolous and meaningless like this "response" to WRALs Answer? It's right in the rules ... Right here, Rule 7:

Rule 7. Pleadings allowed; motions.
(a) Pleadings. – There shall be a complaint and an answer; a reply to a counterclaim
denominated as such; an answer to a crossclaim, if the answer contains a crossclaim; a
third-party complaint if a person who was not an original party is summoned under the
provisions of Rule 14; and a third-party answer, if a third-party complaint is served. If the answer alleges contributory negligence, a party may serve a reply alleging last clear chance. No other pleading shall be allowed except that the court may order a reply to an answer or a third-party answer.

It's crystal clear "no other pleading shall be allowed" - pretty plain language - Sid can't even understand that, how do you trust him to understand anything else? And, that's not an arcane rule, that's the standard rule, easy to understand.

This pleading will be struck, and it won't be a conspiracy, or an attack on arcane rules - it will be because Sid is an idiot who refuses to read.; March 17, 2017 at 9:07 AM

Hey, A Lawyer.

I believe that you and Walt miss the point. The libelous part of the article is the statement that Judge Eagles admonished me for my lawsuits "over the discredited 2006 Duke Lacrosse case." That is the falsity. My lawsuit was about Duke's discrimination against me at a 2010 event, and the reason WRAL did not mention it is because it doesn't want the public to know about it.

By its headline claiming that I am a supporter of the Duke Lacrosse accuser, and by its statement that I am a "Durham man," WRAL is correct, but misleading... and the misleading headline and statement that I am a Durham man tend to support its libelous claim that my lawsuit was over the 2006 Duke Lacrosse case.

Hah!

Fact is that Professor Coleman is a friend that I visited only when I was on Duke University campus. I never was aware of his home address and never visited him at his home residence. Because of the prior ambush on April 14, 2010, I have made it a point never to venture on Duke University property... unless absolutely necessary.

As far as friendship goes, I believe we have a mutual friendship... however, I can only speak for myself. But, certainly, due to the political nature of Mangum's case, I would not want to place James Coleman in the middle of a volatile situation... and furthermore, it is probably unlikely that he would do anything to help Mangum (because of his faculty position at Duke) even if I did ask.

You lie.

You have repeatedly described Crystal as the victim/accuser in the Duke Lacrosse case, which means that on multiple occasions you HAVE weighed in on the Duke Rape Hoax, weighed in to say the Lacrosse players were guilty.

Regarding the DNA evidence found on Crystal, I recall you inone of your posts saying that evidence was not exculpatory because it did not prove the defendants did not rape Crystal. That, again, is you weighing in to say the Lacrosse players were guilty.

You have weighed in on multiple occasions to say the AG's opinion that the Lacrosse players were innocent had no legal weight, which is another way of saying you believe the Lacrosse players were guilty.

And your attempts to bullshit your way around these multiple, obvious episodes of you declaring the Lacrosse players are guilty show you are anything but brilliant.; March 18, 2017 at 9:23 AM

[T]he General Counsel [of Duke] holds press or media conference and hand out a press release in conjunction with it. The conference and press release on Duke University stationary should cover the following:...

5) Duke University's position is that Mr. Nifong, in prosecuting what is known as the Duke Lacrosse case,was performing his duties as a prosecutor and there is no evidence to suggest any other motivations.

Lane Williamson of the State Bar that Mr. Nifong prosecuted the case for political gain is laughable... not even the rigged poll by SurveyUSA for WTVD ABC 11 News supports such nonsense.)...

With regard to Mr. Nifong's prosecution of the Duke Lacrosse defendants, he was merely carrying out his duty. A victim (Ms. Mangum) who was lured to the party under false pretenses by a Duke Lacrosse player using a false name, made a complaint that she had been assaulted, and made identification of two defendants with 100 per cent certainty. The third defendant was indicted only after he could not be excluded by DNA testing, in conjunction with 85% certainty on identification. To Mr. Nifong's credit, when the victim could not assure him, to his satisfaction, that she had been raped, he took the initiative to dismiss the rape charges against the defendants...

I think the justice system typically is more discrete when handling rape cases, due to possibilities of undue psychological damage, harm from stigma, fear, trauma, and societal pressures and customs and traditions, etc., imposed upon the alleged victim that could cause irreversable harm to the victim and their family and community, etc. Of course this does not always happen and the victim IS victimized, but the courts are aware of what they are doing and how to mitigate damages by now any reasonable citizen would assume. There is no excuse for Duke not knowing the harm they cause as they are well versed in all areas of the issues.

There seemed to be no safeguards put in place by Mr. Nifong in the handling of this case for the protection of Ms. Mangum, her family, nor her community. In essence, she could be perceived to have been exploited, and to have been made into an exploitable figure within the justice system beyond just that case. She has to fight for herself obviously in order to gain back the humanity and thus civil rights stolen from her by this exploitation, as is her right.

Are you going to provide her with the information she needs to write her own grievances and appeal amendments or whatever is needed with the appeal to get HER version of appeal in front of the appeals trial, as well as letters to the innocence commissions asking for assistance?

I found it necessary to file a libel lawsuit against WRAL-5 because of the false and misleading statements it made in an overt attempt to discredit me publicly. I delivered several letters of warning, but they were all ignored, which left me no alternative than to file. My lawsuit, and the attention to it, in no way compromises Mangum's position. If anything, it makes it stronger.

Thank you for your interest in Mangum's welfare. I think that the legal system treated Crystal unfairly based on politics... a vendetta-driven prosecution as payback for her role as accuser in the Duke Lacrosse case. I believe that Mike Nifong, the Durham D.A. at the time, made an effort to see that she received justice by pursuing the sexual assault allegations. It is because Nifong did so that he was ostracized and demonized by the state and the media. He was made an example of... very effective, I must admit.

I do believe that Mangum was victimized twice by the system... the first when her rights as a victim of domestic violence was ignored, and the second by being indicted on charges that lacked probable cause.

Ms. Mangum has been given by me, and has a good understanding of the medical issues of her case, and I believe that she is able to proceed in the post-conviction phase effectively towards affecting her release and exoneration. Crystal and I have both written to the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission, the NC Center on Actual Innocence, the NC Justice Center, the NAACP, the ACLU, and just about every other civil rights organization you can imagine. They either refuse to get involved in Crystal's case or just outright ignore pleas for assistance. The Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong is the only organization that has been supportive of her.

I am hopeful that she will soon hear from the court about her most recent appeal.

Hope this answers your questions.; March 18, 2017 at 7:43 PM

Hey, JSwift.

Actually, I don't see any contradiction. I made a good-faith offer to Duke University to resolve their discrimination against me... all I sought were assurances that Nifong-supporters would not be abused.

When Duke refused to give my concerns any consideration, then I was forced to proceed to trial. Keep in mind that I was suing Duke University for its discrimination against me. Whether or not Duke discriminated against me because I was a Nifong-supporter or a Mangum supporter, or just because I am an African American, it is their discrimination against me that is what triggered my lawsuit... certainly nothing on my part having to do with my support for Nifong, Mangum, or anyone else.

The concession I sought in my April 26, 2010 proposal was nothing more than to assure that Nifong-supporters, and Nifong, himself, would not face the kind of harassment to which I was subjected without cause.

Evidence that you discredited yourself long before WRAL published their story.

Crystal was the FALSE accuser in the Duke Rape Hoax. You have claimed no one ever proved Crystal lied. TO establish a crime, someone, the DA, has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt Crystal told the truth. You have presented zero evidence Crystal ever told the truth. And it has been established, before the State Bar and the court that Nifong conducted a wrongful prosecution for political reasons, to win the vote of the black electorate in Durham County. Your ridiculous hypothesis that courting the Black vote almost cost him the election, is not true.

When you first told the story of Duke kicking you off campus, I thought you had been treated very shabbily. In fact, I told you the same thing. When you filed Harr I, it was obvious that you did not know what the law is and you were simply grasping at some legalistic sounding words. For that, I justifiably criticized you. However, it was not until you released the recording of the encounter, that the full extent of the story became obvious to me. You were not discriminated against. Duke was simply enforcing its policy that prohibits solicitation by non-students on Duke property. You behaved badly and very nearly got put in jail for your bad behavior. I have learned my lesson. I no longer take anything you say at face value. There was no discrimination involved in the Duke issue. You simply violated their rule for non-students on campus. Then you behaved badly when caught. Worse, you did not tell the truth about the incident.

"... all I sought were assurances that Nifong-supporters would not be abused."

You were not abused. I doubt that there are any other Nifong supporters other than Mike and his wife. Even they seem to be smart enough not to violate Duke's policies.

The problems with your "analysis" are manyfold. First, you are not an expert in any way, shape or form. Thus, you cannot give expert testimony on Crystal's behalf. Second, you are not a treating physician and cannot say you ever saw Daye, alive or dead, thus you cannot give factual testimony. Indeed the two experts, one of whom actually saw and observed Daye, contradict your unfounded conclusions. But, Crystal is trying to use your inadmissible, non-expert conclusions to wiggle her way out of prison. That is disappointing as she needs the time and rehabilitative expertise of the North Carolina Department of Corrections. Only a long prison sentence and her full cooperation with prison authorities will get her anger management issues under some semblance of control.

"I found it necessary to file a libel lawsuit against WRAL-5 because" of their inconsequential error identifying me as a resident of Durham. There, FTFY.

Your 2011 lawsuit is about "the 2006 Duke Lacrosse case" because you chose to mention "the Duke Lacrosse case" in the very first paragraph of your own Complaint. By mentioning the "Duke Lacrosse case" in your Complaint, you made a judicial admission that the Duke Lacrosse case had something to do with your 2011 lawsuit.

Your lack of understanding of the law as well as your unwillingness to learn is on full display here. Somewhere you read that North Carolina has no statute of limitations for felonies, which is correct as far as it goes. However, Article I, § 18 of the North Carolina Constitution as well as the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution require a speedy trial once someone is arrested, State v. Washington, 192 N.C. App. 277, 282 (2008). Once more than a year has passed since the arrest, the defendant is entitled to the presumption of prejudice and the State is required to show good cause for its delay, State v. Branch, 41 N.C. App. 80, 86. (1979). Given the lengthy delay and the State's previous statements clearing Reade Seligman, Colin Finnerty and David Evans may not now be tried for this non-existent crime.

"You Duke Lacrosse Apologists..."

No one is apologizing. There is no evidence that a rape ever took place. It is legitimate to criticize a criminal process for lack of evidence.

"...desperately need to believe that Kilgo made up his conscience stricken Player friend, that confessed to him what he saw."

Except, Kilgo, if he exists, did make up the phantom witness. Every player was interviewed, and none told the story that Kilgo tells. Years have passed, and said player has never come forward. He simply is a figment of "Kilgo's" imagination.

"The only rational explanation for Kilgo's subsequent actions and disappearance is that he was scared off or perhaps even bought off."

That is not rational nor the exclusive explanation. The more likely explanation is Kilgo realized he had propagated a falsehood that he could not sustain and simply decided to leave. To cover his tracks, he deleted his anonymous email account and his posts here. Those are not the actions of an honest person.

First off,just like there is no evidence Crystal told the truth when she claimed she had been raped, there is no evidence kilgo ever told you anything about the Lacrosse party. That means there is a strong possibility you fabricated the story. Why would kilgo duck and hide is simple. kilgo does not want to be exposed as the fraud he is, after all his mouthing off about knowing more about the Lacrosse case than anyone.

"Many others have expressed opinions as to guilt."

Yeah, like you and Sidney and Victoria Peterson and Nifong and William Cohan. The lot of you have provided zero evidence that Crystal had been raped.

"There remains the possibility that his friend, who supposedly spoke to him off the record, entreated him not to violate the confidence."

As there is no evidence that kilgo ever told you anything about a conscience stricken anonymous Lacrosse payer, this statement is meaningless. If that statement is true, kilgo would never have told you anything about any anonymous Lacrosse player.

"The Duke Lacrosse Apologists have invested much time and reputation into promoting and sustaining a belief into the character and honorability(sic) of the Players"

What the so called Duke apologists have invested much time and effort into is bringing out the truth, which people like you and Nifong and Crystal and Cohan have tried to conceal, that Crystal had fabricated the story of being raped. You have provided and continue to provide zero evidence that Crystal was raped.

"and the culpability of Crystal."

Crystal had become a convicted criminal and false accuser years before she lied about being raped at the Lacrosse party. Crystal's lack of credibility, her culpability, had already been established by the night of 13/14 March 2006, and had become more obvious after the innocent Lacrosse players had been exonerated via her efforts to salvage her reputation.

"Disillusionment would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow."

Are you expecting an arrest to be made in the Mangum rape hoax?

Repeating the same lies over and over again isn't effective advocacy. It doesn't help Mangum and it makes you look silly.

The cat is out of the bag on the rape hoax and has been for years. That being said, the fact that Mangum lied about being raped has no bearing on whether she murdered Mr. Daye. However, the fact that you and Sid (apparently as her surrogate) would repeat those claims, in the context of her murder case makes you and her less credible.

Mangum should either admit she lied about being raped and offer some sort of explanation and apology or, barring that, assiduously avoid any reference to the false rape claim. Bringing the case up over and over again simply reminds people that she falsely accused three men of a brutal crime that never happened. Continuing to insist Mangum was assaulted, in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, gives a reasonable person ample cause to discount any claims defenses Mangum or her surrogates may raise in the murder case.

Arguing the rape case is a losing proposition for Mangum. Not only is it an argument that cannot be won (given the extensive evidence that she lied) continuing to repeat it shatters any credibility you or she may have. That is one of the reasons attorneys fight so hard to have evidence of a defendant's past bad acts barred from being used at a trial. It is a basic lesson you, Sid and Mangum have refused to learn.

I remind you, just like you have presented zero evidence that Crystal ever told the truth about being raped, you have presented zero evidence that kilgo ever told you anything. The most logical explanation of why you claim he did is that you fabricated the story of kilgo and his anonymous Lacrosse player friend out of your desperate determination to believe Crystal had been raped. I echo the poster at March 22, 2017 at 6:35 AM: why do you get such gratification in believing a woman had been brutally raped?

"especially about David Evans whom he seemed to regard as a gang leader."

As no rape ever happened, David Evans was the ringleader of nothing except maybe of his own determination to show the truth, that he had been falsely accused of raping Crystal. What you are writing about is your own outrage at David Evans, again expressing your desperate need to believe that your so called friend had been brutally raped.

"I will say this, however, he showed real compassion for Crystal and her children."

As you fabricated the story of kilgo and his anonymous Lacrosse player friend, you are in a position to say nothing about kilgo's supposed compassion because you know nothing.

"From what I know of him he either got scared or he deferred to the wishes of the friend who purported to be a witness; perhaps fearful himself."

Which is an admission that you know nothing. Again, the indications are that you fabricated the story of kilgo and his anonymous Lacrosse player friend. Why would you fabricate such a story?

More about kilgo.

If you remember, you claimed that Crystal claimed that Reade Seligman was holding her legs apart. Reade Seligmann's alibi evidence established with 100% certainty that he had not been present at the scene of the alleged crime when the alleged crime was happening(and the opinions of a couple of ignorant people like Nifong and William Cohan do not discredit Reade Seligmann's alibi). Ergo, if Crystal said that Reade Seligmann had been holding her legs apart, she was lying.

Well, as I have pointed out, the rape kit materials taken from Crystal, tested negative for alkaline phosphatase, a marker for semen. You may speculate why the kit materials tested negative but your speculation is based on ignorance, nothing more. The most logical, most likely reason the rape kit materials tested negative for alkaline phosphatase is that Crystal, who had alleged she had been subjected to a semen depositing gang rape, HAD NOT been subjected to a semen depositing gang rape.

Ergo,if kilgo actually did tell you about his lacrosse player friend witnessing Crystal being raped, kilgo lied. There was no rape for anyone to witness.

And it comes back to, why do you wish that a woman whom you call a friend had been subjected to a semen depositing gang rape.; March 22, 2017 at 8:26 AM

6:35 was not me. 8:26 was.

Kenny has accused Reade Seligmann and David Evans of participating in the rape of Crystal. The points to which Kenny objects are 1)Reade Seligmann showed with 100% certainty he was not at the alleged crime scene at the time the alleged crime happened; 2)Kenny has provided zero proof that the crime ever happened; 3) Kenny has provided zero evidence kilgo ever told him anything about an anonymous Lacrosse player who witnessed the rape of Crystal; 4) The forensic evidence from the rape kit, specifically the failure to detect alkaline phosphatase on the rape kit materials, IS strong evidence that no rape took place; 5) point 4 establishes that if kilgo ever did tell Kenny that a lacrosse player witnessed the rape of crystal, then kilgo lied. There had been no rape for anyone to witness.

I draw readers' attention to the way Kenny tries to bullshit his way through and around facts which do not fit in with his guilt presuming wishful thinking.

"He's went on about this multiple times."

And each n every time Kenny makes no attempt to address the points. He tries to ignore them.

"It makes one wonder where his mind is at and if there is some sort of projection going on here."

Where my mind is obviously: Kenhyderal has zero proof that Crystal was ever raped and yet he insists she was. The facts show Crystal was not raped, and the facts, not Projection are what raise the question of why Kenny wants to believe she was raped. Projection is but Kenny's excuse for avoiding and denying facts which do not fit with his guilt presuming wishful thinking.

"I wish Crystal had never encountered the Duke Lacrosse Team"

I bet the Lacrosse team wished they had never encountered Crystal, who lied about a number of them raping her.

"but she unfortunately did"

The people who were unfortunate from that encounter were the falsely accused members of the Lacrosse team.

"and suffered terrible and brutal consequences for that."

Not as terrible as the consequences suffered by the falsely accused Lacrosse players, and there were consequences to the rest of the team and to their coach. They suffered consequences because Crystal lied. Crystal suffered consequences because she lied and was exposed as a liar. Her suffering was self inflicted.

I say again, you have provided zero evidence that Crystal ever told the truth.; March 22, 2017 at 10:49 AM

There was zero evidence tat Crystal ever told the truth.

What you describe as Crystal's best interests is that those innocent men be convicted and imprisoned so that Crystal could get a pass for falsely accusing them.

And the issue comes up again. As you have provided zero evidence that any rape had occurred, that you have provided zero evidence that anyone told you about any witness to said rape, why are you so heavily invested in believing Crystal had been raped?

P.S. No one knows about Crystal from second hand bias. Crystal became known to the public because of the Duke Rape hoax. She lied when she claimed she had been raped. You can blame Nifong for that, as he used the bogus rape claim as his springboard to winning the election as Durham County DA. Had Nifong behaved like a DA with integrity he would have told the public that he was not going to prosecute because he had zero evidence of a crime. Instead he made public guilt presuming statements that members of the Lacrosse team had raped Crystal(that was before he concealed the evidence which established their innocence). Had he not done so, there would have been no Duke Rape Hoax.; March 23, 2017 at 10:16 AM

At this point, we have only your assertions that you and Magnum are long-time friends. You have several times asserted that you introduced Magnum to Harr, but Harr has conspicuously declined to provide support for that assertion. Both you and Harr have credibility issues. As a result, Magnum should be the source for the required confirmation.

Mangum could confirm the details of your friendship: that Kenneth D. Edwards, a Canadian expatriate currently living in Dubai, is a long-time close personal friend, who has known her since they met in Bremerton, Washington while she was serving in the US Navy and he was serving in the Royal Canadian Navy. Given the credibility issues, this confirmation by Magnum should be in writing and notarized. It should include confirmation of all of the details of your relationship you have provided on this blog. Magnum should feel free to include other details of your relationship.

I will accept that as proof that Kenneth D. Edwards is a friend of Magnum. At that point, we can discuss how to confirm that you are Kenneth D. Edwards.

A Lawyer said...: Kenhyderal wrote: "There is no statute of limitation for rape."

So what?

AS a practical matter, it is almost impossible to charge two different sets of defendants for the same crime, because whatever evidence there was against the first group automatically creates reasonable doubt as to the second group. Meaning that even if the mystery non-Lacrosse team member rapists were identified and charged, they could use in their defense Mangum's "100% positive" identification of Evans, Seligmann and Finnerty as the rapists. A jury is not going to believe a complaining witness who identifies different rapists at different times. (Not to mention that she has, in the interim, been convicted of murder.)

But it will never get that far. Suppose Kilgo surfaces and tells his story about what a Lacrosse team member supposedly told him 11 years ago. Kilgo's testimony is hearsay and inadmissible. If Kilgo names the Lacrosse team member who spoke to him, the police may not take him seriously. (First question: "why did you wait 11 years to tell us this?") If they do take him seriously and question the player, he will very likely either refuse to speak to the police (as any lawyer would advise him), or deny ever telling Kilgo that story. At that point, the case is over. If he does speak to the police and identify the alleged rapists, it will probably be impossible at this late date to prove that those people were even at the party.

So how do you envision a possible prosecution at this late date?; March 23, 2017 at 3:44 PM
Anonymous said...: kenny also overlooks the fact that there is no evidence that Mangum was raped to support a charge against anyone, and overwhelming evidence that she wasn't and lied about it. These conclusions are bolstered by an investigation and report by the Attorney General. The only basis at this time for a charge is Mangum's uncorroborated and ever changing story, and both Mangum and her story have been thoroughly debunked and discredited.

In the absence of probably cause that a crime occurred we don't even have to discuss the inherent difficulties of arresting and charging a second set of defendants for it.

The rape case is over. No charges can or will be brought and no amount of lying or master debating by kenny can change it. Mangum and kenny should be grateful that no charges were brought against Mangum and that she wasn't sued for making a false report. Her punishment is that she will be known for eternity as the person who lied about being raped and falsely accused three innocent men of a crime that she made up. That stain will never wash off. Unless she confronts it, acknowledges her wrongdoing and make amends it will follow her thru the rest of her life and will be her legacy long after she is gone. It will overshadow everything she has ever done or could hope to do. What a horrible way to be remembered.

Even if, God forbid, she is actually raped or assaulted at some point in the future, it will be hard to bring charges against her assailants because of her history of lying about it previously.

Walt said...: Sid wrote: "Crystal Mangum, on the other hand, has always maintained that she was sexually assaulted."

No, she has not. First she said she was raped. Then she changed her story to sexual assault. However, there is no physical evidence of any rape. The lack of physical evidence leads the reasonable person to conclude that she made up the story in the first place and then changed the story later.

"And current Governor Roy Cooper cannot provide proof that a sexual assault did not occur." Well, his duty as a prosecutor was to prove that it did. He and the experienced special prosecutors concluded they could not. Further, they concluded that the accused did not do anything and are in fact innocent. The physical evidence all confirms their actual innocence.

"In fact, his investigation of the Duke Lacrosse incident has been placed under seal. Not even William Cohan could get information about the case from the Attorney General's Office."

As pointed out above, it is not a prosecutor's job to prove a crime did not occur. Rather, it is his job to show there is probable cause to believe one did occur. Be that as it may, Roy Cooper provided compelling, overwhelming and irrefutable evidence that an assault did not occur. That is why he felt compelled not only to drop all charges but take the extraordinary step of proclaiming the falsely accused players innocent.

Among other things, there were a large number of witnesses at the small lacrosse house when Mangum alleged she was assaulted. No witnesses at the house were able to corroborate Mangum's story or witnessed any assault.

Two of the defendants Mangum identified with certainty as her assailants were not present when the assault Mangum alleged occurred.

DNA found on Mangum did not match any of the attendees at the party.

The story Mangum told was physically impossible, given the size if the bathroom where it allegedly occurred.

Mangum changed her story and the timeline multiple times.

The only information Cooper held back was Mangum's medical records, including her extensive mental health history, which he could not disclose.

In short, there was no evidence to support Mangum's claim, except her story - and that constantly changed - and there was lots of compelling evidence to refute it

Continuing to trumpet the lie that Mangum was raped or assaulted is not helpful to Mangum in any way. In fact, it hurts her. It is also objectively wrong by any standard and reflects extremely poorly on your character.

Something else I also expected from you. That AG Cooper did not prove that Crystal had not been assaulted has no legal weight.

You have 279 days left to exonerate and free Mangum in 2017. There are 18 days until April 15, 2017. It has been 1 week and 6 days since you predicted that Mangum would be released within a matter of weeks.

It has been 13 days since the Ides of March 2017, 42 days since February 14, 2017, 87 days since the end of 2016, 270 days since the end of June 2016, 338 days since April 24, 2016, 378 days since the Ides of March 2016, 1,221 days since Mangum was convicted of murdering Reginald Daye and 3,572 days since Mike Nifong was disbarred. Mangum is scheduled to be released from prison in 3,258 days.

Mid-April? Surely you are being too pessimistic! But, since we are diving off into the realm of fiction, I thought I'd consult my swami, Carnac the Magnificent. Carnac the Magnificent predicts that Mangum will be released in February. Carnac will go you one better, Carnac will even prognosticate the year, 2026. And now for the best Carnac the Magnificent fortune telling, Carnac will even predict the day of the week...........just wait for it.........Friday! Yes, Kreskin the Magnificent predicts Crystal will be released from prison on a Friday in February, 2026!

Remember, you heard it here first from the great Carnac.

That's exactly what I would predict (except the denial may take longer than mid-April). Other than that, I think your predictions are spot-on: the federal court will deny the habeas; Dr. Harr will profess shock; there will be an appeal. I will make one more prediction: the appeal will be unsuccessful.; March 28, 2017 at 12:36 PM
