HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I would like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka, Kwanzaa, and whatever your religion happens to celebrate around this time of year. Hope that you enjoy the best gifts of all... much happiness and good health. Refrain from family arguments around the dinner table by not talking politics, Trump, impeachment, and anything related to the Duke Lacrosse case.

Unfortunately, I failed in my attempt to get Crystal out... making this the ninth Christmas in a row that she's spent in prison. This is a tragedy and speaks to the cruelty, corruption, and racism within this state... a sad reality.

Not to end on a sad note, Have a Great Holiday Season and a good year in 2020. Will be looking forward to your comments, as usual.

So where is Namath? He guaranteed CGM would be out by December 31. "I, Namath, guarantee it."
We've been acting on this guarantee of his. He'd better get her out,or a lot of us will be quite angry at him!

December 18, 2019 at 8:26 AM


Hey, gui, mon ami.

Grammar matters. Where you place commas and hyphens makes a difference. Now the sentence "I, Namath, guarantees it" would seem as though Joe Namath himself made the guarantee.

Remove a couple of commas and insert a hyphen makes it read, "I Namath-guarantee it." Meaning, I meant to emulate Namath's bold Super Bowl prediction outcome guarantee. Namath himself did not make the guarantee.

Superior Courts are closed for the year. There is zero chance Crystal will be released by the end of the year. Once again Sid is wrong.

December 19, 2019 at 4:59 AM


Hey, Anony.

I would have to agree that things look bleak for Crystal's release by year's end. Unfortunately it was due to stalling tactics of the State and the media... especially when first notified of Dr. Wecht's report on Halloween. Still not a whisper about Dr. Wecht's report. Shameful.

Sid -- You stated:

"What follows a Namath-guarantee is the release of Crystal Mangum from prison by the end of the year."

If the Superior Courts are closed for the year, the so-called "Namath-guarantee" has failed.

...Well, except for the guarantee we got from "Broadway Joe", that is.

Wouldn't you agree?

December 20, 2019 at 2:59 PM


Hey, FND.

You're right. Broadway Joe came through on his guarantee. But then, again, he and his Jets team were playing on a level playing field.

The field that I'm playing on in fighting for Mangum's justice is slanted against me. Not only that, the outcome has been sabotaged by the umpires, refs, and even Mangum's own team (expert witness Dr. Roberts, defense attorney Meier, appellate attorney Petersen, and NC Prisoner Legal Services). And of course, the media suppression to keep the people from knowing the truths about Mangum's innocence. Only those people who view this blog site are being told the truth. That is shameful.

Hey, Ghost of Al Davis.

Unfortunately, the reality is that the court rules... although with bias when it comes to me, Crystal Mangum, and Mike Nifong. The recent NC Court of Appeals ruling against Crystal Mangum was especially disgraceful... the Judge didn't even dare address the first and main issue of the appeal. Is that cowardly?

Dear kenhyderal,

For reasons that are not clear to me, Sidney has been blocking my posts to you. If this continues, I will provide an email address you can use. My question to you is who is this Kilgo person that has been referred to in earlier posts?


December 21, 2019 at 11:22 AM


Hey, Nana D.

First of all, I do not block posts that meet kenhyderal standards of decency. And, I am quite liberal in my interpretation of that.

I am bothered by the name you choose to use because Nana Duffuor is a good friend of mine and a fine person. It would please me if you used another handle on this blog site. I would be more inclined to post your comments if that were the case.

There are times when I don't have the time to post, or I'll read a comment and forget to post it. One time I accidentally erased a comment.

But if a comment seems especially silly, then I might not post it because this site is a serious one dealing with grievous injustices, including Mangum's lengthy and wrongful imprisonment.

If kenhyderal wishes to respond to your question, I have no problem with that, of course.

So, you're agreeing now that the 3 lawsuits you filed against Duke were all the same lawsuit?

If so, why did you file it 2 more times after the first failed?

Wasn't Harr v. Freeman a lawsuit?

December 23, 2019 at 6:50 AM


Hey, Anony.

You're absolutely right. I stand corrected. My lawsuit against Wake County D.A. Lorrin Freeman is based similarly on the complaint I now have with the NC State Bar against Durham D.A. Satana Deberry. The D.A.'s, Attorney General's, Governor Cooper, and others ignore me because they do not want to be confronted by the truths of Crystal Mangum's innocence.

The thing that they all lack is Nifongian courage.

What did Santana Deberry do to merit a grievance?

Hey, Abe.

It's what Satana Deberry didn't do that merited the grievance. She didn't do anything in response to my efforts to impart evidence of Mangum's innocence in Daye's death. I believe, by her elected position, she has an obligation to hear all evidence offered in good faith... either her or her high-ranking assistant.

My question to you, Abe, is: To whom should I take evidence of innocence that I want to present? (Use Crystal Mangum's case in which the incident for which she was charged occurred in Durham County.)

Shirley you jest. I'm far from having delusions of grandeur. I don't know where you got that from. What I believe I am is a hard-working advocate for justice.

Like I asked Abe, I ask you now. Who, or what agency, in your opinion, has an obligation to hear evidence of innocence that I want to present about Crystal Mangum's case?

Hope to get a serious response from you.

Are you familiar with the purpose of a bar complaint? The four items you request in the "Relief Sought" section of your complaint are comical. Your chance of being hit by a meteor today is greater than the chance that the North Carolina State Bar will grant any of the relief you request.

Sid- In North Carolina, lawyers follow what is called “the rules of professional conduct”. At no point in your document did you state what rule the Durham D.A. violated to warrant your grievance.

Given that, which rule(s) we’re violated? Keep in mind, if you cannot state a codified rule as defined here: https://www.ncbar.gov/for-lawyers/ethics/rules-of-professional-conduct/index-to-the-rules-of-professional-conduct/

Hey, Nana D.

Apologies. Because Nana is not a common name, I wrongly assumed that some sinister imp had purloined the handle "Nana D" for the purpose of nefariously implicating Nana Duffuor. That does not seem to be the case. Because Nana Duffuor has no claim on the letter D, and since you used it initially, please continue (or re-continue) use of Nana D as your identity on this blog site. Consider it a mistake on my part.

Afraid I can't help with the Kilgo part of your comment. Maybe kenhyderal can.

Hey, Durham Observer.

I don't really know if Grievance Complaints filed with the NC State Bar are to include "relief sought." It is my belief that the Bar will make its own determination as to what ruling to apply, if any. So if you found my complaint to be entertaining, then so much the better, although that was not my intent.

You've heard, no doubt, the saying "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." What have I go to lose by including a section seeking relief? I feel that the potential benefits outweigh any possible risks, if any, in seeking relief... regardless of how outrageous they may seem.

Hey, Anony.

There is a section in the statute that states that lawyers have a duty to communicate with their clients. Because the Prosecution represents the people in criminal cases, the people would ergo be clients of the prosecutor... or District attorney.

Regardless of how you slice it, the prosecutors have a duty to listen to evidence of innocence. That's what then-Attorney General Roy Cooper stated during an interview with Lesley Stahl for 60 Minutes.

Obviously the reason the prosecution has been ignoring me is because it doesn't want to be confronted with the truths of Crystal Mangum's innocence in Daye's death.

Anonymous said...

Sid - CGM was the defendant in a criminal case. As such, she would either have her own (or a state-appointed) defense attorney. The D.A. cannot represent her in a criminal case.

I shouldn’t have to explain this to you.

She needs a to hire a lawyer. If that lawyer subsequently fails to communicate with HER (not you), then she has a reason to file a grievance.

December 26, 2019 at 12:56 PM


Hey, Anony.

When Crystal was represented by four different attorneys pre-conviction and an appellate defense attorney and the NC Prisoner Legal Services post-conviction, they all refused to meet with me to discuss the issues of Mangum's innocence that are supported by Dr. Cyril Wecht's report. Even after Dr. Wecht's October 25, 2019 report, I contacted the NC Prisoner Legal Services, Innocence Inquiry Commission, and civil rights attorney Al McSurely. Been ignored by all.

The problem with the expert defense forensic pathology witness Dr. Christena L. Roberts is that she produced a report which her defense attorneys tried to keep from her... a report in which she fabricated a third intubation for the sole purpose of shielding Duke University Hospital staff from responsibility for Daye's death. Had she been objective and fair, her report would have been similar to Dr. Wecht's.

Now, even the new NC Chief Medical Examiner has been ignoring my attempts to meet with her.

Hey, gui, mon ami.

Hah! Crystal has had attorneys, and all they've done is either nothing, or stab her in the back. All attorneys that Crystal has had have had their priority of protecting Duke University Hospital. Don't say Crystal and I haven't tried. For example, after Dr. Wecht's report I contacted the following:
Beth McNeill, Director of Litigation at NCPLS LINK to McNeill letter.
civil rights attorney Al McSurely LINK to McSurely letter.
Lindsey Guice Smith, Executive Director of NC Innocence Inquiry Commission LINK to Smith letter.

There are other attorneys that I have selectively contacted, and those who did respond did so in three sentences or less. I received no referrals from anyone that I wrote.

gui, face the fact that attorneys are afraid to represent Crystal Mangum. Thanks for the suggestions, but Crystal and I have tried to retain an attorney that shows at least some promise of having integrity required for this case.

December 26, 2019 at 6:52 PM


Hey, Anony.

Keep in mind that the Durham County Public Defenders Office refused to take Mangum's murder case claiming it was too controversial. Also the NC Public Defender's Office abandoned Mangum without doing anything for her. Both are State agencies... represented by the NC Attorney General's Office.

Also, may I remind you that Crystal already filed a grievance against her appellate defender with the NC State Bar. It took more than thirty (30) months for her to receive a ruling in which it found no fault and took no action against Attorney Ann B. Petersen.

The reason Governor Cooper, A.G. Stein, and D.A. Deberry ignore me is because they do not want to be confronted by the truths of Mangum's innocence. They're not dumb... they know that she's innocent, if for no other reason than I told them so backed up with evidence. As long as the media keeps the people from knowing the truths, these officials will continue to run from the truth.

Anonymous said...

You're sure she's innocent? Pool your resources (J4N has what? 30 members? Plus you have Kenhyderal and Nana Duffuor), and pay for CGM to hire a lawyer.

You are NOT helping her with your legal actions. You're not. If anything, you're simply making it worse for her.

Anonymous Nana said: "So, now, I would appreciate it if you would answer my last question. Who is this person named Kilgo?"....................... Like Dr. Harr I was confused as to why why a post by an ardent Crystal Supporter Nana Duffuor would not be posted so I decided to await Dr. Harr's explanation. Kilgo was an early frequent and often profane poster on J4N. He claimed to have a Player friend, who was an attendee at the drunken bash and witnessed the sexual assault on Crystal. He intimated that David Evans was one of the assailants and frequently expressed contempt for him. When Crystal was in gaol, awaiting trial for the phony arson charge, he made a substantial donation, through me, towards her bail. When Hammond Bail Bonds put up her bail for free, the amount in bail bond fund, held in trust by a NC Lawyer, Mark Simeon, was refunded to the donors. At that time Kilgo instead of taking back his money donated it to Crystal. Then, at some point, Kilgo precipitously and inexplicitly disappeared from this blog and he went through the laborious process of deleting all his posts. He cancelled his e-mail account and I have never been able to contact him. My speculation for this behavior is, he was either paid off or scared off by those worried about what he knew or possibly that his Player friend, who told him what he witnessed, plead with him to not identify him as an eye-witness. Over the years and until the present mischief making trolls have posted here as Kilgo, for sport, but none of them were able to satisfy me that they were the genuine Kilgo. His user name Kilgo comes from a 19th Century President and Founder of the successor institute of Duke University

Dear kenhyderal,

Thank you for your detailed post. I am trying to learn as much as I can about the injustice that Crystal has faced.

However, I have one additional question for you. In several of your earlier posts that I read, you indicated that Crystal is a dear friend of yours. That being the case, once you had information from Kilgo regarding the assault, why didn't you contact law enforcement authorities so that they could attempt to locate Kilgo and his friend and question them about the crime that was committed? If you had done so, it is possible that the eye witness evidence could have been preserved before Kilgo disappeared.

Anonymous said...

Sid,

You have 1 day left to free Mangum. I can't wait to find out what comes after a "Namath guarantee."

The problem with your complaint against the DA is that (1) notwithstanding the fact that criminal cases are styled in the name of the People, you aren't a party to the Mangum murder case and (2) you don't represent Mangum. The DA has no obligation - legal or otherwise - to meet or communicate with you.

Third, there is no open case, at least as far as the DA and courts are concerned. Criminal cases don't stay open indefinitely. Mangum was tried, convicted and sentenced. Her appeals have been exhausted. The case is closed as far as the DA and the courts are concerned.

If you think you have a basis for setting aside the verdict and/or reopening the case, bring it to the appropriate court. Even then, you are going to learn that Dr. Wecht's report does not exonerate Mangum; it simply claims that the stab wound did not directly cause Mr. Daye's death. It does not, in any way shape or form, claim that Mangum did not stab Mr. Daye or that she is not legally responsible for stabbing him. It does not offer any defense for the stabbing. Even if you prevail (which is far from certain), Mangum will face a substantial sentence for stabbing Mr. Daye.

I predict that 2020 is going to be a long and frustrating year for you. We'll see in 12 months whether I am right (again).

@ Nana: All Players submitted DNA but only two of the myriad of non-player party guests were tested. The remainder remain unknown persons and the DNA in Crystal's rape kit presumably came from amongst them. Circumstantial evidence suggests Crystal was drugged with a date rape drug. All Players have refused to speak with Durham Police without Counsel. Crystal was subjected to a bogus photo line-up and she was told that, if she was assaulted, the perpetrators would be present in the line-up; so go ahead pick them out! Kilgo, apparently sworn to secrecy, never came right out and said Evans was a perpetrator but he hundred of times intimated on this blog that he was. Then AG Cooper declared those charged were "innocent" and that no crime had occurred. Notes of his investigation were never public Keep in mind there is clear proof that Crystal was robbed of the money she was paid. Durham Police consider the case closed. Efforts by her to get her money and her seized belongings have been to no avail.

Anonymous said...

@Nana -- Kenny states "Circumstantial evidence suggests Crystal was drugged with a date rape drug.", yet he failed to mention that there was a toxicology test done of Mangum’s hair, and it showed no traces of any "date rape" drugs.

He also states "All Players have refused to speak with Durham Police without Counsel."

What he fails to state is that this is their right to do so.

Take a look at this -- Here Regent Law Professor James Duane gives several reasons why you should always exercise your 5th Amendment rights when questioned by the police.

Kenny also likes to claim that the drug used was chloral hyrate.

What he is apparently unaware of is that Chloral hydrate is very bitter tasting and requires a large volume per dose. There's no way to mask it's presence by "spiking" a drink with it.

kenhyderal said...

@ Anonymous 11:22 : Crystal was tested for alcohol, opioids cocaine and GHB. All were negative. The drink she was given was long gone and unavailable for testing. The symptoms she experienced, sudden onset and sudden and precipitous recovery after an hour or so leaving no trace is consistent with the date rape drug chloral hydrate. Tests for this are difficult and were not routinely done at that time and this was well known on university campuses especially by jocks with nefarious intent.

By asking the State bar to grant relief they have no power to grant, you show yourself to be ignorant of the law. This, along with your numerous frivolous lawsuits, makes it even more unlikely that anyone will listen to you.

Dr. Caligari said...

only two of the myriad of non-player party guests were tested.

What gives you the idea that there were a "myriad of non-player guests"? Nifong certainly didn't think so (unless he lied in his application to the court for testing).

Crystal was subjected to a bogus photo line-up and she was told that, if she was assaulted, the perpetrators would be present in the line-up; so go ahead pick them out!

So the blame is on Nifong.

Notes of his investigation were never public

All notes of his investigation were made public, except for Mangum's psychiatric files.

Anonymous said...

Plus, the symptoms Crystal experienced were consistent with mixing her prescription medication with alcohol - something she admitted doing.

The record is clear that the players and their attorneys fully and completely cooperated with the DA and the police.

It is not disputed that Crystal had sexual encounters with multiple men previous to dancing for the lacrosse players. The DNA found on her is consistent with these encounters - something Kenny has previously acknowledged.

Cooper was right. Crystal lied about being raped and the men she falsely accused were innocent of any crime. The only person who committed a crime that night was Crystal.

Facts are stubborn things.

Some other symptoms consistent with chloral hydrate that somehow CGM managed to avoid (that Kenny conveniently overlooks):

Cardiac toxicity and hypotension. Ventricular dysrhythmias and severe hypotension leading to some fatalities.

Irritating gastric effects. Gastric irritation leading vomiting, which can result in aspiration of the stomach contents.

Chloral hydrate has what is called a "narrow therapeutic index". This means that small differences in dose or blood concentration may lead to serious therapeutic failures or adverse drug reactions.

Basically, in order to get the results Kenny identified WITHOUT getting the adverse drug reactions common to chloral hydrate, you would need to know both CGM's weight (dosage would be 50-75 mg/kg) and any previous drug history. Of the prescription drugs CGM was known to be taking (Flexeril, Ambien, methadone, Paxil, and amitriptyline), 3 of them are known to interact with chloral hydrate.

You simply could not give CGM the correct amount of chloral hydrate to get the desired results ("sudden onset and sudden and precipitous recovery after an hour or so leaving no trace") without getting the unintended (and potentially fatal) drug reactions WITHOUT having information that would generally only be available in her medical record.

I'm sure that, were Sidney to remove his bias and use his medical knowledge, he would agree.

Both were named by her in the consensual sexual history she provided. Other DNA found was unexplained, by her easily corroborated, consensual sexual history. The one client of her agency that she saw, in the relevant time frame, refused to provide a DNA sample but maintained he had absolutely no sexual contact with her. The Duke Lacrosse defense went to great investigative efforts trying to establish Crystal had ever engaged in prostitution but to no avail.

It's common knowledge that Mangum was a prostitute. She worked for several escort agencies.
The folks who worked in the strip clubs where she worked knew she was a prostitute and that she used her dancing to get johns. Her driver knew it, too. It's pointless to lie about it.

@ Abe: In this case "common knowledge" is wrong. The immoral smear campaign waged by Duke Lacrosse apologists, as a defense strategy, has been successful in convincing the masses this slander is true. Although their defense investigation spent much time and effort trying to uncover any evidence of this, they were unsuccessful. So, they resorted to lies and innuendo and were able to dupe people such as yourself who now unwittingly continue to spread this lie.

Hey, Anony.

Keep in mind that Crystal was represented by at least a half dozen lawyers and none of them worked in her best interests. Even the defense expert forensic pathologist witness produced an inaccurate report to shield Duke University Hospital from responsibility for Reginald Daye's death. An attorney is not the answer. Crystal is up against a cruel, corrupt, and racist system... where judges rule not on case merits but on desired outcomes.

If an attorney was retained for Crystal Mangum, he/she would take the money and sell her out. Been there.. done that. Thanks for the advice, but it is of no value in Crystal's case.

I think it is only reasonable, and my contention is that a district attorney and/or someone in the office, is obligated to hear evidence of innocence in a case in his/her jurisdiction regardless of the bearer of the evidence. I don't see the rationale for requiring that a witness have standing in a case before a prosecutor listens to evidence. As long as the prosecutor has jurisdiction over the criminal case, he/she should, in my opinion, listen to the evidence. At any rate, I wrote a letter to the NC State Bar's Executive Director Alice Mine asking her as to the appropriate person to whom evidence of innocence should be presented. I will let you know her response.

As far as the status of the case, an MAR was recently filed based upon the findings of Dr. Cyril Wecht. I believe that he has more professional credibility than Dr. Nichols or Dr. Roberts.

Finally, Mangum wasn't convicted of assault with a deadly weapon. If the State wants to pursue that charge after she is exonerated from the second-degree murder conviction, then that will be up to it.

And, yes, Abe. I will concede that I was unable to free Ms. Mangum by year's end. I didn't anticipate the strength of the media conspiracy against Crystal Mangum. I alerted many local and national media-types about Dr. Wecht's report on October 31, 2019... Halloween. There has been absolutely no coverage whatsoever. And the one news station that did a 20 minute Skype interview with Dr. Wecht on November 25, 2019, has not shown it... and it looks as though it doesn't plan on doing so. I also relied upon the minister of the Baptist Church in Durham that Mangum attended to get involved after seeing Dr. Wecht's report. He, like the Durham District Attorney, has ignored me.

But, in 2020 I will not give up, but rather intensify my efforts, including work on my secret project.

How did Roberts' report "shield Duke University from responsibility for Reginald Daye's death" when it explicitly discussed the esophageal intubation?

Victoria Peterson help you with this? We KNOW Victoria is a devout homphobe and bigot.

What many readers here may not know is that Satana Deberry, in addition to being a single mother of 3, is a proud Black lesbian.

She also ROCKS those red Converse Chuckie Taylors....

This will give you an idea of what DA Deberry has done for Durham County since being elected:

Nice work, Sid. I'm sure your grievance will get all the response it deserves.

Hey, Carmen.

First, all of my comments posted under "Nifong Supporter" are written solely by me. I do not work on them with Victoria Peterson or anyone else. Victoria Peterson is a member and co-founder of the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong.

I really don't understand what Ms. Peterson's alleged prejudices or the sexual/gender preferences of the Durham district attorney or anyone else has to do with my grievance against Durham D.A. Satana Deberry.

It is not my contention that Ms. Deberry has not made notable accomplishments as district attorney. Like Governor Roy Cooper, I believe Ms. Deberry has done a reasonably good job in her elected office. My problem with both of them is their unwillingness to confront the truths of Crystal Mangum's innocence. They both know that she's innocence regarding Daye's death because I told them. Neither of them want to face me about the truths of Mangum's innocence. That is what's problematic. For Deberry and Cooper to allow someone they know to be innocent to spend years in prison tells a lot about their character; it shows their lack of integrity. Don't you think so?

As far as my grievance goes, the State Bar is usually pretty good about responding. I do hope to hear from its Grievance Committee. Will let you know once I receive a reply.

You've heard, no doubt, the saying "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." What have I go to lose by including a section seeking relief?

By asking the State bar to grant relief they have no power to grant, you show yourself to be ignorant of the law. This, along with your numerous frivolous lawsuits, makes it even more unlikely that anyone will listen to you.

December 30, 2019 at 5:12 PM


Hey, Dr. Caligari.

I am aware that the State Bar has a number of options with regards to how it handles a complaint... from a sanction to disbarment. In providing what I elected to reference as relief sought, I merely wanted to express that I wasn't seeking severe punishment.

Further, I disagree that any of my filings with the court have been frivolous. The courts, unfortunately, have ruled on their desired outcome rather than facts of the case.

Regardless of my previous legal history, the State Bar should limit its rulings to the merits of the complaint presented.

Some other symptoms consistent with chloral hydrate that somehow CGM managed to avoid (that Kenny conveniently overlooks):

Cardiac toxicity and hypotension. Ventricular dysrhythmias and severe hypotension leading to some fatalities.

Irritating gastric effects. Gastric irritation leading vomiting, which can result in aspiration of the stomach contents.

Chloral hydrate has what is called a "narrow therapeutic index". This means that small differences in dose or blood concentration may lead to serious therapeutic failures or adverse drug reactions.

Basically, in order to get the results Kenny identified WITHOUT getting the adverse drug reactions common to chloral hydrate, you would need to know both CGM's weight (dosage would be 50-75 mg/kg) and any previous drug history. Of the prescription drugs CGM was known to be taking (Flexeril, Ambien, methadone, Paxil, and amitriptyline), 3 of them are known to interact with chloral hydrate.

You simply could not give CGM the correct amount of chloral hydrate to get the desired results ("sudden onset and sudden and precipitous recovery after an hour or so leaving no trace") without getting the unintended (and potentially fatal) drug reactions WITHOUT having information that would generally only be available in her medical record.

I'm sure that, were Sidney to remove his bias and use his medical knowledge, he would agree.

Hey, Fake K.

My attention is focused on the trumped up murder conviction under which Mangum is currently incarcerated. Don't have time or energy to invest in Duke Lacrosse case.

Hey, Abe.

Yup, my Namath-guarantee fell through. Undoubtedly 2020 will be the year that elusive justice in Mangum's case will finally be corralled. Especially since the beginning of the year signals the start of my effort on my secret project.

Have a great year, Abe. I intend to see to it that 2020 is a great year for Crystal.

December 31, 2019 at 6:18 PM


Hey, Anony.

My premise that Dr. Roberts' report had the purpose of shielding Duke University Hospital's responsibility for Daye's death can best be presented by setting forth two versions of the intubation episode. We'll begin with the truth and follow with Dr. Roberts' version.

Truthful version: The first, initial intubation by medical staff was in Daye's esophagus, as supported by the end-tidal CO2 monitor's negative reading. Hospital staff then visually looked at the tube with a laryngoscope and determined that it was in the trachea... a false conclusion as shortly thereafter Daye went into cardiac arrest. With the cardiac arrest, CPR was begun with removal of the misplaced endotracheal tube, and a second intubation took place; this time the tube was positioned properly in the airway. With twenty minutes of CPR, Daye's heart began beating spontaneously, but he was brain-dead. NOTE: There were only two intubations of Daye by medical staff.

Dr. Roberts' (or false) version: The first, initial intubation by medical staff was in Daye's esophagus, as supported by the end-tidal CO2 monitor. The errant-placed endotracheal tube was removed and a second intubation took place... this one properly placed in the trachea. After a period of time, Daye went into cardiac arrest and CPR was begun... the tube remaining in place. After twenty minutes of CPR, Daye's heart was beating spontaneously, but Daye was brain-dead. Sometime after the successful cardiac resuscitation, the second (properly positioned) tube was removed and replaced with a third intubation; the third intubation also in the trachea. Daye was placed on life-support. NOTE: In this version there were three intubations of Daye by medical staff.

Significance of the two different versions: In the Truthful version the cardiac arrest is obviously precipitated by the esophageal intubation, as it prevents oxygen from reaching the lungs. In this version there is no denying that the cause of Daye's cardiac arrest was directly a result of the errant esophageal intubation.
However, in Roberts' version, after the initial esophageal intubation the endotracheal tube is removed and a second intubation results in the tube's proper tracheal placement. It is after this second intubation in the airway that Daye goes into cardiac arrest!! Ergo, in Roberts' version the cardiac arrest can't be blamed on the esophageal intubation because it was corrected with the second intubation properly in the airway which took place before Daye went into cardiac arrest. Therefore, in Roberts' version, the result of the initial esophageal intubation is inconsequential because at the time of cardiac arrest the tube was properly placed. It appears that the third intubation was conducted after Daye's heart was resuscitated, with no clear indication given for replacing a properly placed endotracheal tube.

Clearly all accounts in the medical records show that only two intubations of Daye took place, not three. Dr. Roberts fabricated the extra intubation for the purpose of shielding Duke University Hospital's responsibility for Daye's death.

This explanation should suffice. Let me know if further elucidation is required. Also, you might visit archives in this blog site concerning Dr. Roberts' report. This is explained in a sharlog, as well.

Nana said...


Dear kenhyderal:

I have studied your December 30 post and I am afraid that you have failed to answer my last question.

You indicated that you communicated with Kilgo during 2010 when some of Crystal's friends were raising funds to meet her bail requirements in the arrest relating to the Milton Walker incident. Eventually, Crystal was tried on the arson and other charges in December of that year. At the trial, Crystal was capably represented by attorney Mani Dexter.

Did it never occur to you to contact Ms. Dexter and share the information provided to you by Kilgo? Did you even share the information with Crystal? Mind you, this was information that supported Crystal's claim that she had been sexually assaulted at the party in March of 2006.

In your post on December 30, you say that the Durham Police consider the case closed.
However, I can't help but wonder what would have happened if Kilgo's information had been provided to the police in 2010. It was not until 2014 that Durham settled the lawsuit with the lacrosse players over the police department's handling of its investigation. In 2010, the Police Department, no doubt, would have been very interested in information indicating that a crime had occurred at the party.

I am sorry to say that I do not find your account of your dealings with Kilgo to make any sense.

Sincerely,
Nana

kenhyderal said...

@ Nana The information that Kilgo provided me, in personal communication, was no different than the information he posted on this blog. The witness was a Player; like all of them, one who was tested. There is little doubt that he was not the only Player or guest who witnessed the assault. He just happened to be one who broke the wall of silence by informing non-player, non attendee, fellow classmate, Kilgo what had occurred. Something or someone scared Kilgo off.

Anonymous said...

Nana,

Kenny believes random/anonymous posts if it fits his world view, but disagrees with anything that doesn't. If you sent him an e-mail telling him that you knew Kilgo, and like him you were a player on the team and witnessed an assault, but are too scared to come forward, Kenny would then believe you and Kilgo. He has no proof of anything, and the fact that 99% of the posters on this blog are doing it as a joke (which is fine, cause Sid's entire effort is a joke - it's just a way to manipulate and abuse Crystal), doesn't faze him.

Kilgo never existed, but Kenny will continue to claim he did. You should send that e-mail, it would give him hope that there is another out there.

kenhyderal said...

Kilgo existed as anyone who was posting here at the time knows and was a blogger who, unlike you, posted under his google blogger registered name. He made a large donation towards Crystal's bail which indicated he was, unlike you, a poster committed to seeing justice done. His mysterious disappearance seems to indicate he was either bought or scared off.

guiowen said...

Kilgo might have been kidnapped, as a warning to Kenhyderal.

Dr. Caligari said...

If "Kilgo" made a donation toward's Mangum's bail, then either the court or Mangum's then-lawyer will have a record of his name and address. They don't allow anonymous people to post bail with bags of cash.

I saw some of his posts here before he deleted them. He was always saying, in effect, "I know something you don't know, but I won't tell you." I never believed he was who he claimed to be.

kenhyderal said...

@ Dr.Caligari: The Lawyer was Mark Simeon. The money came to me via Western Union and their records are deleted after two years. I sent the amount to Simeon via a Bank Draft. At Kilgo's direction after Hammond Bail Bonds put up the bail gratis Simeon paid it from his Trust Account to Crystal.

Anonymous said...

So, Kenny had 2 years to figure out who Kilgo was and refused ...

No one believes Kilgo was anything other than you trying to give yourself credibility. There are, at most, 3 people who post on this blog anymore, they just use multiple names because they are bored.

kenhyderal said...

@Anonymous: During that period Kilgo was still front and center on this blog, as a person with a registered google account. One who was sympathetic to Crystal. He posted almost daily. Kilgo preceded me here by two years. I only discovering the blog by accident after Crystal was publicly named. I was the one who introduced her to Dr. Harr. There is an easy solution to the use of multiple names by participants; register a user name and stop posting anonymously. Unlike you, any serious poster here knows Kilgo was a real and outspoken participant.

Anonymous said...

Kilgo was a Duke Student who had a problem with the LAX team.

Once he realized that he could be held responsible for libel for his statements here, he quickly removed all posts that made it seem he was stating facts rather than his opinion. Which is why you CAN find comments still posted by him here -- if you look hard enough.

The reason you don't hear from him any longer is that he has grown up, gotten past whatever beef he had with the LAX team, and gone on with his life.

What I find odd is that he sent YOU the money via Western Union, and at that time, you didn't bother to find out who he was. Why is that?

kenhyderal said...

Anonymous said: "The reason you don't hear from him any longer is that he has grown up, gotten past whatever beef he had with the LAX team, and gone on with his life...……………………………………………………………………. So, you admit your accusation I was Kilgo is bogus. Do you recall him expressing some personal beef with the Duke Lacrosse Team other than his disgust at what was done to Crystal. Or, are you speculating. Most likely he was threatened with libel and feared he would not have the resources to take on the expensive Duke Lacrosse Defence "Dream Team" who although they lost, also sued Durham. With him still posting and with him having my e-mail I hoped I could convince his to do the right thing and come forward although his friendship with a Player who told him, in confidence, what he witnessed would be a difficult thing to overcome. Along with his posts he cancelled his e-mail account. Grown up behaviour on the part of his Player friend would be to come forth.

Anonymous said...

Different Anonymous....If it makes it easier for you to keep track, call me....Ishmael.

The concept you fail to grasp is the Kilgo made up his story whole cloth. There was no “friendship with a player”. In making those (since erased) statements, he WAS committing libel. That is why he deleted the comments and shut down his email account.

And you didn’t answer my question. You had the info from WU— why didn’t you track him down at that time?

kenhyderal said...

@ Ishmael : Kilgo was not missing at the time. The remitter on the W/U, as I recall, was "a" J.C. Kilgo; which is the name of the 19th.Century Duke University founder. B.t.w. I asked you a couple of questions too( forgive my punctuation). Here's 2 more. What would be a possible motive for Kilgo to make up this story "whole cloth"? If this was all just a "lark" for him, why would he donate towards Crystal's bail? His posts were full of contempt towards the Team and especially David Evans but, at the time, this was not, as I've been told, an unusual reaction by many on campus, both students and faculty. They did have a reputation for "jock" bad behavior. Eventually, though, with their a skillful PR campaign were able to convince many, if not most, Crystal was the villain and they were the victims

Nana said...

Dear kenhyderal,

Once again, you have ignored the direct questions I posed to you in my post. That is certainly your prerogative. However, I too am going to exercise my prerogative and stop wasting my time exchanging posts with you at this blog. It has become apparent to me that you have no interest in having an honest discussion and I must conclude that your unwillingness to respond candidly confirms your lack of credibility.

Goodbye.

kenhyderal said...

@ Departing Nana: It is reasonable to assume that Kilgo's Player friend wasn't the only person there to have seen the assault. It seems he was the only one who broke "the wall of silence"; the one that so frustrated DA Nifong causing him to threatened prosecution against those with information who did not come forward. AG Cooper when he took over was aware of this but was under political pressure and pressure from those with influence to drop the charges against these "scions of privilege". Drop it at the expense of a poor marginalized African American Mother deemed to be of no consequence. Almost all Players were innocent. Either they were not in attendance or were but did not participate. It was the party hosts and there non-Player invited guests who are under suspicion. Only two non-Player guests were identified when dozens were present. No list of attendees has ever been developed. When I came on the scene Cooper had already declared those charged innocent and the case closed. Kilgo was a person on this blog, devoted to restoring DA Nifong who maintained Crystal had been sexually assaulted. Such a restoration would have been inimical to the greedy lawsuits being pursued against Duke. Durham Police know the names of all the Players. They tested DNA from all of them . Even those not present. This witness was a Player

Kenny,

Let me point out that you still have failed to answer the specific questions that Nana asked you in her post of January 5. Yet, you continue to regurgitate the same old tired misinformation for which there is no evidence. It is becoming painfully obvious that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed.

HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!!

First, I have just completed Part Two of my next shar-video... both Parts One and Two finished of a total of about four... maybe a total of five parts to this one. I have decided that I will begin posting the parts piecemeal; beginning with Part One being posted tomorrow morning. I will plan on posting Part Two the following Tuesday morning, and Part Three (if completed) the following Tuesday morning, and so forth.

I will post both the Flash version (Slightly better visuals and sound) and the video version (workable on cellphones, pads, and computers).

Secondly, I am very optimistic that justice for Crystal Mangum is imminent. Won't set a specific date as I don't want to overburden Abe. Will give notice here of events that transpire towards the inevitable outcome of justice.

Stay tuned.

As you were.

kenhyderal said...

@ Durham Observer: I thought the "question" (in question) came on Dec. 29th and on January 5th Nana followed up with a complaint that my post of Dec. 30th failed to answer her question. I responded Jan. 6th and then an Anonymous poster directed a reply at Nana telling her I had made up Kilgo and his posts were in fact my posts; a contention easily provable to be false. I replied to him On Jan. 6th. He doubled down on this on Jan. 10th I replied the same day. Him or some other Anonymous weighed in with questions about Kilgo's departure from the blog. Then an Anonymous calling himself Ishmael asked about Kilgo's Western Union on Jan 11th . I replied to him Jan 12th . Then finally Nana reappears after a week of silence (? perhaps ?) and says she's leaving because I wont answer her question. Hey folks lets grow up and post with registered names. Could Nana, Ishmael, or you Durham Observer or one of the Anonymous posters repost the specific question they think I have not answered and I will give it a specific answer. Can't help but speculate I may be only talking to one childish and cowardly person afraid to stand and be counted.

As usual, Kenny misinterprets things because of context.

Kenny,

I have a better idea. At the risk of overtaxing your brain, I am going to suggest that you reread Nana's January 5 post and see if you can identify her questions. If you get stuck, let me know and I will give you a few hints. Then, if you read your response to Nana on January 6, I think you should be able to see that you failed to answer her specific questions.

To make it easier for you I am copying Nana's January 5 post below.

@ Durham Observer: No, I did not speak to Mani Dexter. She was the Counsel for Crystal's Feb 2010 phoney and vindictive charges of Attempted Murder, Arson and Child Abuse ; totally unrelated to The Duke Lacrosse Case. AG Cooper had said in 2007 the Players were innocent and stating no crime had occurred while intimating she was delusional. He refused to make public the notes of his so-called investigation. Durham Police had no interest in the case after that and were themselves facing a lawsuit. I was in regular contact with Crystal and it was in June of 2010 I introduced her to Dr. Harr.
