Wow, Sid is still pushing the thoroughly debunked and discredited “felony murder” nonsense. No wonder no one takes you seriously, you clearly don’t take yourself seriously - you keep pushing something that was not legally possible. As has been repeatedly explained, Larceny of a Chose in Action cannot form the basis of felony murder. You know this but you don’t care because you clearly aren’t serious about helping Crystal, you just want her to think you are.
This “project” is pathetic even by your low standards.
Sid -- Please tell me this isn't your plan to have CGM freed by Christmas.
You've already tried the "Dr. Nichols committed perjury" argument, and it failed. (anyone interested can look for the CGM MAR order and recommendation from 2017).
Well, at least you got "different" right. Unfortunately for CGM, that's the only thing you got right in this statement.

Hey, Anony.
Larceny of Chose in Action is a Class H Felony, and as such, if committed in an action wherein a death occurs, as is asserted by State prosecutors, grounds exist to elevate the murder to first-degree through use of the "felony-murder rule." I do not know why this concept is so difficult for many to comprehend.

Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
You will be relieved to know that this is not the major project upon which I am relying for Ms. Mangum's release by Christmas.
With regards to the failure of the Dr. Nichols committed perjury argument, the real failure is with the State's racist/biased court which refuses to rule objectively and impartially when it comes to Crystal Mangum.
Focus on a single issue: On Tuesday, November 19, 2013, Dr. Clay Nichols on the witness stand and under oath on two occasions during direct examination stated that he was unable to examine Mr. Daye's spleen at autopsy because it had been removed eleven days earlier during emergency surgery. Can we agree that this is an accurate accounting?
My question to you, Prince H. is: Was Dr. Nichols' testimony that Daye's spleen had been removed during emergency surgery eleven days prior to autopsy accurate... that his spleen was removed during emergency surgery and subsequently was not present at autopsy? Answer me that!
If you believe that Dr. Nichols' testimony was true, then how do you account for his autopsy report describes the spleen and its weight?
If you believe that Dr. Nichols' testimony was false, then explain how it is not perjury.
Dr. Harr - “ Larceny of Chose in Action is a Class H Felony, and as such, if committed in an action wherein a death occurs, as is asserted by State prosecutors, grounds exist to elevate the murder to first-degree through use of the "felony-murder rule." I do not know why this concept is so difficult for many to comprehend.”
More knowledgeable resources have stated this is not correct. You have any of a number of resources you could ask (I suggest Mike Nifong, as he was a North Carolina DA, and would have direct knowledge of this). Apparently you haven’t bothered. Ignorance is lacking knowledge in a specific area. Refusing to gain knowledge is foolishness. You’re overstepping the bounds of ignorance with this argument.
No, it’s been shown to you many times … it only applies to a violent felony. You’ve been shown the statute and case law explaining why it doesn’t apply, yet you refuse to listen/learn, which is proof you aren’t serious in your efforts to help Crystal.
@ The Prince-- Regarding the cause of death: all the decisons, to deny, were based on the testimony of Dr. Nicholls and Dr.Roberts, fully accepted by the Judge and clearly shown to be incorrect by Dr. Wecht, with his opinion, that was supported by all medical evidence, and with his expert opinion that the intervening accident, unrelated to the stab wound, was the sole cause of death, thereby negating any Holsclaw or Welch precedent.
It doesn’t matter how much it was - felony larceny cannot trigger felony murder. Despite Sid’s whining and misstatement of the law - not every felony can trigger felony murder. It must be a violent felony, and larceny doesn’t count. This has all been repeatedly explained to Sid and Kenny, and they’ve been provided statutes and case law. The fact they continue to ignore it shows this is all a charade to abuse Crystal and keep her emotionally tied to them as they try to isolate her and pretend only they care about her.
"It doesn’t matter how much it was - felony larceny cannot trigger felony murder.."
...And felony murder was not presented to the jury as an option. Felony Murder simply was never an option in this case. All you have to do is check the NC Pattern Jury Instruction the judge gave to the jury.
I think Lance the Intern was the first person to float the "felony murder" concept -- Where he was quickly corrected by Walt and an Anonymous poster....On 2013(!!).
It's wayyy past time for Sid to throw out this ridiculous "felony murder" schtick.
@ The Prince: And on pp.17-18 "Here, the State presented Nichols’s testimony and autopsy report as evidence supporting the conclusion that Petitioner’s stabbing of Daye was the ultimate cause of his death. Petitioner criticizes that testimony and the report and points to what she believes are errors and deficiencies with the conclusion that Daye died from complications related to the stab wound. However, in reviewing for sufficiency of the evidence, all reasonable inferences are drawn in favor of the State. Here, there is no question that a rational trier of fact could have relied on Nichols’s testimony and the autopsy report to conclude that the stab wound inflicted by Petitioner was the cause of Daye’s death. Thus, to the extent that Petitioner intends to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, her claim fails and should be denied." Nicholl's testimony contained easily provable errors." Watch his testimony. It was obvious that he had no recollection of doing this autopsy and relied solely on his notes. Already in disgrace, he doubled down on what he wrote as correct even when he knew that the facts did not support this.

Hey, gui, mon ami.
Fact is that Dr. Wecht has already committed to take actions on behalf of Crystal. I do not know when the action is scheduled to take place, but I will make it known after it occurs.

No, I have not spoken to Mr. Nifong about the felony-murder rule.

Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
Larceny of chose in action is a Class H felony. That charge in Mangum's case was baseless. Why else would she be indicted other than as a means for justifying the elevation of the murder charge to first-degree through the felony-murder rule?
Anonymous Anonymous said... Doesn't there have to be a $ amount (I want to say $1,000) exceeded before larceny (a non-violent crime) is considered "Felony Larceny"?
How much money did CGM supposedly steal?
I'm sure this was discussed before, but I'm not gonna bother to dig through all the previous posts to find it.
December 4, 2023 at 9:10 AM
Hey, Anony.
Crystal was charged with stealing two cashier's checks, one for three hundred dollars and a second for four hundred dollars... a total of seven hundred dollars which is below the one thousand dollar threshold for a felony in a straight larceny charge. However, for larceny of chose in action, there is no threshold limit required as it is an automatic low Class H felony.
Anonymous Prince Humperdinck said... Kenhyderal - Sid's "formal notice and petition" is not about Wecht's opinion, it's about Nichols' alleged perjury.
The details for the court’s decision regarding the Nichols’ testimony and whether or not it could be considered perjury are here, starting on page 10.
I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you, either. WRT this alleged perjury, the court has spoken.
December 4, 2023 at 5:27 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
One painful lesson I learned in advocating for Crystal is that not all judges rule with impartiality and integrity... they rule for a desired outcome and try to wrangle with legalese mumbo-jumbo a pretext for a ruling they know to be false.
Medical Examiner Dr. Clay Nichols testified twice that Daye's spleen had been removed during emergency surgery and was not present for examination at autopsy eleven days later. This is contradicted by the operative report and Nichols' own autopsy report in which he described the organ and its weight. In other words, Dr. Nichols made statements under oath he knew to be false. So, regardless of what the court says, by definition Dr. Nichols committed material perjury and he should therefore be prosecuted for it. Don't you agree?
Sid, the fact felony murder was never in play has been explained to you repeatedly, you have been shown the statute, case law, and the fact it was never brought up in the trial.
The fact you continue to bring it up and ask the same nonsensical questions shows either you are incapable of learning or unwilling to learn. Neither of which is helpful to Crystal.
It’s not a lie if you believe it’s true at the time.
The presence or absence of Daye’s spleen during the autopsy doesn’t matter. At no time was there a claim that issues with Daye’s spleen was the cause of death.
On Nov 11, you wrote; ”Because I am privy to information to which you are not, I am going to venture that the probability that Crystal Mangum will be freed from prison and spend this coming Christmas with her family is 99.9%. Further, I predict the probability she will be freed from prison and spend this coming Thanksgiving with her family is 43%.
I will share the basis for my assessment with you at the earliest time possible.”
You have since stated that this formal notice is not the major project you were relying on for Ms. Mangum's release by Christmas.
So what information are you privy to that makes you 99.9% certain CGM will be out of prison by Christmas?
@ The Prince: The issue about Daye's spleen simply illustrated that Nicholls was not truthful in his testimony. On this matter he was caught red-handed but he still he refused to acknowledge he was obviously mistaken. The same is true of the cause of desth, where all the medical records indicate that he was wrong. Any lay person could acertain that from the facts and Nicholls, being a certified medical specialist, albeit one in disgrace, had to know that what he wrote in his report was provably incorrect. See that for yourself. Read the medico-legal definition of "cause of death" Read the Duke medical record of Daye and then see if you believe Nicholls did not knowingly deceive the Court.

“Why else would she be indicted other than as a means through the felony-murder rule?”
Felony murder was not presented to the jury as an option. All you have to do is check the NC Pattern Jury Instruction the judge gave to the jury.
Ask Mike Nifong if felony of chose in action can be used for justifying the elevation of a murder charge to first-degree through the felony-murder rule.
@ The Prince 12-9-23 4:30 PM : Nichols' prevarication was not admitting he was mistaken. A far greater deceit, though, was sticking to his autopsy statement, of "cause of death" somthing he knew, like you do, that what he reported was wrong. I note, you chose to go after me about my spelling mistakes instead of responding to the comment in my post about the crucial issue of the cause of death.
"Nichols' prevarication was not admitting he was mistaken. A far greater deceit, though, was sticking to his autopsy statement, of "cause of death" somthing he knew, like you do, that what he reported was wrong."
Ah...You mean the cause of death that the defense's own expert witness agreed with.
Funny how you know what Dr. Nichols "knew...what he reported was wrong". As if you can mind read.
Perhaps your tarot cards told you?
I'm done with this discussion. It's meaningless. Sid's formal notice is meaningless. The court found that there was no perjury back in 2017.
As Anonymous @ December 1 stated: "I feel confident in stating that this notice and petition will garner exactly the response it deserves."
Sidney, Why don't you, instead, go to the Clemency Board, and ask to have Crystal released now? There's only about two years left in her present sentence, and I feel that, if she acts repentant enough, you could ask the Board to show some mercy.
I love how you refuse to comment on Sid still flogging felony murder despite how often it’s been debunked. Shows you are complicit in all of this with him and know he’s not serious about wanting Crystal out, he just wants her to think he is.

Hey, Anony.
Thanks for the notice. I wouldn't have know had you not alerted me about the submissions. I will respond to that later... possibly within 24 hours.
Have been busy working hard to try and have Crystal released from prison by Christmas. Should be able to provide important info about Mangum's case on December 19th.
@ The Prince: 12-11-23: Of course I can't know what was in disgraced pathologist Nichols' mind when he doubled down on his insistence that what he testified to, regarding the spleen, true. It was, in fact, in direct conflict with his sloppy, so certified by Dr. Roberts, autopsy report on Daye. Dr. Aurelius. in her response to The Admissions. conceeded the obvious, that his testimony in Court was wrong/untrue. My speculation is, already disgraced, he was loath to admit how deficient this autopsy was. It was obvious in Court he had no recollection of doing it. Again I ask you to see, the obvious for yourself by comparing the medical records along with Dr. Wecht's report to Nichols' autopsy and testimony. Like too may defenders of the conviction of Crystal for murder, when faced with irrefutable facts, you choose to withdraw rather than conceed. Wrongful convictions, in a just society, can not be allowed to stand otherwise America is in great decline and once again is failing to live up to it's lofty constitutional promises.

Hey, gui, mon ami.
I already went to the Clemency Board seeking a release for Mangum on innocence. It, of course, will not consider that. Also, if Mangum accepts a pardon (not based on innocence), then it reflects an admission of guilt by her... which is something she should not accept.

Deal with it.
December 11, 2023 at 5:33 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
With regards to the cause of death, clearly the cause of Mr. Daye's death was the fact that he was electively removed from life-support... succumbing within hours after removal. He was removed from life-support because of his brain-death which was the result of an esophageal intubation... an intervening cause of death. The stab wound had no nexus to Daye's brain-death.
Furthermore, Dr. Nichols never established a cause of death. "Complications of a stab wound to the chest" doesn't count. Exactly, what "complications"? Dr. Nichols cannot specify what was the alleged complication that resulted in Daye's death... or even brain-death.
World-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht even mentioned the lack of credibility of defense expert witness Dr. Christena Roberts' report because of her spurious assertion that three intubations took place instead of two. The expert witness made this false claim for the purpose of shielding Duke University Hospital staff at the expense of her own client defendant.
Also, Prince H, what court ruling in 2017 determined that Dr. Nichols did not commit perjury? Could you provide elucidation on this matter? Thanks. I will await your response.
I would like to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong. When is the next meeting?
December 10, 2023 at 6:27 AM
Hey, Nifong Double Supporter.
All that is required to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong is your name and a portrait photo, and an address to which a packet of membership can be mailed. Also a tee-shirt size of large or x-large. The membership packet includes a j4n tee-shirt, a certificate mounted on foam-core, your name applied to the margin of the stationery (on page three), twenty membership j4n business cards, and your photo added to the group photo of approximately a little more than fifty portraits. Joining the committee does not require dues or expenditure of your time. Lending your face and name to this social justice grassroots organization is all that is required. You can e-mail me personal contact info, photo, and tee-shirt size preference and I will send you a membership packet most likely within two weeks during Christmas season.

Hey, gui, mon ami.
WRONG!!! Actually, Dr. Wecht will take part in a project which has heretofore not been revealed. I will probably be able to disclose the project in a about a week or so. Keep in mind, my efforts in support of Ms. Mangum's innocence would not be possible without the October 25, 2019 report by Dr. Cyril Wecht. In other words, there would be no possibility that I could have Crystal prematurely released without Dr. Wecht's involvement.

December 6, 2023 at 4:14 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
Is it your contention that Dr. Nichols did not commit perjury at trial because he believed it to be true when he said that Daye's spleen was not present at autopsy because it had been removed eleven days earlier by surgeons during emergency surgery? If that is your argument, then how do you explain his autopsy report in which he described the spleen and its weight?
Again, provide we with elucidation on this matter. I await your explanation.
In Harr v. NCOAH, there was a reassignment order assigning all further proceedings to Judge Dever.
I don't see a similar reassignment order for Mangum v. Aurelius, but I'll note that the motions were submitted to Judge Dever.
I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that if the plaintiff chose to submit the motions to Judge Dever (as he's the assigned judge), that's on the plaintiff, not the Judge or the case manager.
"Is it your contention that Dr. Nichols did not commit perjury at trial because he believed it to be true when he said that Daye's spleen was not present at autopsy because it had been removed eleven days earlier by surgeons during emergency surgery? If that is your argument, then how do you explain his autopsy report in which he described the spleen and its weight?"
Read the court order and recommendation. It's not my contention, it's the court's contention that he did not commit perjury.
Don't like it? Talk to the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
"All that is required to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong is your name and a portrait photo, and an address to which a packet of membership can be mailed.."
What if I don't want to become just a member? Are there elections? What if I want to run for one of the named positions (Community Activist, Communications Czar, or even Lay Advocate)?
Thank you for the information regarding how to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong. However, you neglected to confirm for me the date of the Committee’s next meeting. I would very much like to attend the next meeting. When will it be held?
If it was dismissed with prejudice it cannot be refiled. If it is dismissed without prejudice it can.
It was dismissed cause it was a joke lawsuit like all the rest of Harr’s they exist for 1 purpose: to delude Mangum into thinking Harr is actually trying to help her, so she keeps in contact with him.
Christmas is less than a week away. It’s time to reveal your new project.
December 19, 2023 at 4:31 AM
Hey, Anony.
It was my intention to disclose my secret project today, but I have been advised against doing so now as it would be potentially too premature... ergo, I will not make any revelations at this time.
Who advised you against disclosing your secret project? Are you working with Kenny on the secret project? We have been waiting at least a decade for Kenny to reveal his secret plans.
Apparently Dr. Harr isn't receiving my comments, or he's not approving them.
I corrected my statement from Dec 15th, stating that the case was dismissed without prejudice.
I had some issues with my Blogger account that have been corrected, yet my comments still aren't getting posted.
I'd hate for everyone to go through the Holiday season without elucidation, so I'm posting now as an anonymous user to see if the comments go through. :)
Prince Humperdinck said... Sid -- There was a reassignment order on October 17th reassigning the case from Judge Louise Wood Flanagan to District Judge James C. Dever, III.
A copy of that order was mailed to you.
December 20, 2023 at 10:13 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
I am aware of the reassignment, and that is part of my complaint. Judge Flanagan, like Dever, is a district court judge, however she has no discernible links to Duke University and/or its enterprises. There was no reason given for the reassignment to a judge so heavily involved with Duke University.
Additionally, despite the fact that Magistrate Judge Brian S. Meyers was referred to the case, the case manager Stephanie Mann, instead of submitting the motions to Judge Meyers, leapfrogged him and gave the motions directly to Judge Dever. The court went out of its way to assure Judge Dever had control over the case.
I expressed my concerns in a letter to Ms. Mann dated and mailed on December 13th, a day prior to Dever's judgment and order. LINK to letter to Ms. Mann
Note: The letter was sent in December, not January as mistakenly noted at the end of the letter.
Complain all you want -- State court has jurisdiction in regards to this type of lawsuit, not federal court. It doesn't matter which judge signed the order, the decision to grant the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction was the correct decision.
You'd think you'd learned this lesson with your previous MAR/Habeus Corpus debacle.
I'm assuming that the decision to dismiss without prejudice was the federal court giving you the opportunity to file the lawsuit in the correct court.
Maybe this time you'll remove your name from the lawsuit (since you weren't a petitioner in the contested case), and you'll get CGM to, you know, actually sign the damn thing.
There is no Constitutional right to have a magistrate appointed to any case. Referring and assigning matters to a magistrate judge is at the discretion of the district judge, not the other way around. Just as the district judge has the discretion to assign matters, they have the discretion to reassign them.
See the Federal Magistrates Act: 28 U.S.C. §§ 631 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A)
You also keep bringing up Judge Dever's "lack of impartiality" in any proceeding regarding Crystal Mangum.
You have yet to identify any code or rule of law that would prompt Judge Dever's recusal. See specifically 28 U.S.C. § 455. Section 455(a) (which identifies various grounds for federal judges' recusal).

Hey, dhall.
I appreciate your response to my legal questions, but what I find appalling is the fact that neither the clerk of court nor the case manager who submits motions, have made no efforts to reply. They just ignore my legitimate questions.
Regarding the issue of recusal, I believe the appearance of impartiality is at question because of the strong ties Judge Dever has to Duke University School of Law. Naturally, that would have a bearing on his decisions regarding the court cases involving Duke University and its enterprises (i.e., its hospital, etc.). Consider that Duke University blames Mangum for its spending of $100 million to resolve lawsuits against it brought by the Duke Lacrosse defendants. Also, it's Mangum's contention, supported by Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, that medical malpractice and not a nonfatal stab wound was responsible for Reginald Daye's brain-death and actual death.
Judge Dever wanted to maintain control of Mangum's legal cases because of the possibility of an assignment to another judge who was impartial and possessed more integrity... whereupon the likelihood of a just outcome would be enhanced and result in Mangum's freedom and exoneration.

Please provide us some elucidation.
December 21, 2023 at 11:00 AM
Hey, Anony.
As you would expect, the NC Department of Justice has ignored me. No communication after more than a month.
Regarding the secret project, it will be revealed soon... too premature to do so now according to the person intimately involved with it (whom I will not name now).
Dr. Harr - Regardless of your beliefs, there are specific guidelines for recusal. To the best of my knowledge (and apparently to yours), Judge Dever does not the requirements for recusal.
Your beliefs and claim to read Judge Dever’s mind simply do not matter WRT recusal.
In regards to your letter, I don’t know if you posted it. The only one I see linked here is the letter addressed to Stephanie Mann, which contains a number of accusations and requests, but no questions.
Perhaps if you had actually asked legitimate questions rather than assert unfounded accusations, you would have received a response to that letter.
Sid - Your problem is that you don’t understand the role of magistrate judges. Why would anyone respond to your letter when a 5 minute google search will tell you why the motions went to Judge Dever?
No, Sid understands things much better than he pretends. He also knows a Clerk cannot give legal advice or answer the questions he is asking.
When you realize that Sid's entire goal is to lie to Crystal and make her think he's trying to help her, to keep her emotionally isolated and dependent upon him (classic abuser techniques), so she continues to cling to him, and not to actually help her - because when she gets out, she's not gonna stick with Sid - you understand what he is doing, and why he refuses to listen/learn.
He doesn't want to help Crystal, he wants her to think he's trying to help her. If he really were trying, he'd fix a lot of the issues that are repeatedly pointed out on this blog.
This is all a game to him, and chance to manipulate Crystal.
Disgusting! The coward Tyrone, anonymously, impugns the intent and motives of Dr. Harr. The real "game" here is being played by the corrupt and rotten North Carolina Justice System. Pretending that if Dr. Harr would take the incincere advice of those who despise and mock him Crystal would be free. Every single person here knows Crystal did not murder Reginald Daye. Every single person here knows she was wrongly convicted and she is being wrongly imprisoned. It's got nothing to do with any so-called legal errors, made while in trying to obtain justice. That's simply their cop-out. What it does have to do with is the black state's desire for retribution against her for daring to accuse those, of priviledge, who sexually assaulted and robbed her and with their desire to keep her where she is, in the vain hope that when her wrongful sentence is over, this will all go away.
Let me remind you that kenhyderal is a Canadian veteran of the Royal Air Force who lives in Dubai and has limited means. He is a fighter for justice but, given his circumstances, his efforts are best spent defending Crystal by posting at Dr. Harr’s blog. Nonetheless, kenhyderal is working on a secret plan to win both a new trial and compensation for Crystal. I am confident that 2024 will be the year that kenhyderal’s hard work produces results.
And for these reasons, I am proud to call kenhyderal my friend.
@ Tyrone My apologies.No need for gratuitous insults. Understand,it can be a bit tricky to sort out all you anonymous posters. I often wish you and many others, here, would choose to post as a registered user.
@ Guiowen: Make that the Royal Canadian Air Force as opposed to the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force. This was the historic designation. Presently, though in Canada all the Services are combined and are jointly known as the Canadian Armed Forces

If I need to moderate a comment that is silly, irrelevant, or made for the purpose of detracting from the seriousness of issues presented, I will likely not post them is sent anonymously... but if sent by a named commenter, I will very likely post as long as it/they are in compliance with the kenhyderal Doctrine.
"...because of the strong ties Judge Dever has to Duke University School of Law. Naturally, that would have a bearing on his decisions regarding the court cases involving Duke University and its enterprises "
Sid -- Has Mangum ever filed a case with Duke University or its enterprises as a plaintiff that have gone before Judge Dever?
I made a comment about Kenny yesterday that certainly was no more insulting than Kenny calling Tyrone a coward on December 28. However, Sid refused to release my comment. So, yes, it certainly appears that Sid is unwilling to apply the kenhyderal doctrine to Kenny.
@ Anonymous 1-2-24 9:50 AM. I've always made it clear here, that I consider those who post anonymously with insuling accusations are too cowardly to openly do so as a Registered User. I was replying to Tyrone's disgusting post calling Dr. Harr a liar, an abuser and a manipulater. Semantically speaking it was not gratuitous.
"Tyrone's disgusting post calling Dr. Harr a liar, an abuser and a manipulater. Semantically speaking it was not gratuitous."
Except I never posted a comment referring to Sid this way - an Anonymous user (posting as "Anonymous") on December 27, 2023 at 4:03 AM made these statements while replying back to me.
You're a liar by stating it was my post that called Sid these things.
@ GUIOWEN 1-2-24 Wrong; Ken Edwards is a thick skinned big boy who can defend himself. The doctrine was demanded by me to prevent gratuitous slanderous and demeaning comments about Crystal, hurtful to her, her chidren, her Family and friends; all only mean spirited and without any basis in fact. And secondly, to stop the juvenile noncence and chanting that was going on here while others were trying to have a reasonable discussion. Look back on it's genesis yourself and see if you agree. You were of course here then.
@ Tyrone: Once again my apologies. As I've indicated before, if you would all register under your user-name it would be easier to determine who is saying what. As well, it would eliminate the annonymous and mischievous tagging of "supporter of" or even "supporter of supporter of"; none of which add genuine support to the real cause of freeing an innocent person, wrongly imprisoned, that's a disgraceful blight on the American Justice System. What's to fear? Get on the right side of history.
you meet kenny and your whole world changes because everything kenny says is everything you've ever wanted to hear so you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears and you trust kenny completely kenny's perfect in every way cause he makes you feel so strong and so powerful inside you feel so lucky but your ego obscures reality and you never bother to wonder why things are going so well you wanna know why? cause kenny's a liar
Kenhyderal -- There's nothing to stop a user from creating a blogger account with a name that is just as anonymous as "Nifong Supporter Supporter". Having that registered as a user account doesn't make it any easier to determine who is making the comment. I can read who made a particular comment without them being registered, you should be able to as well.
I don't understand where your argument that "if you would all register under your user-name it would be easier to determine who is saying what." comes from.
@ Anonymous 1-4-24 9:51 (re: his paraphrasing Henry Rollins). My take on that is; Ken, "tells you things you already know" ie. Crystal Mangum is innocent. Pretending you don't know this is dishonest and perverse.
I think you are confused. At my request, Dr. Harr adopted the kenhyderal supporter doctrine, which states that all posts that needlessly insult or disparage kenhyderal will be deleted from this blog.
Dr. Harr - As I stated in an email to you, “… it's not the responsibility of the AG's office to prosecute specific crimes (like perjury) unless requested to do so by a local district attorney (which they don't have authority over).”
I’m sure this is why the link/phone number to find your local DA.

Hey, dhall.
Question: If a district attorney's star witness - who happens to be a state employee - commits material perjury in obtaining an unjust and wrongful conviction, who or what agency is responsible for opening a criminal investigation into the witness? Question: Do you believe, in the above scenario, there is a conflict of interest with an investigation conducted by the district attorney? Question: For whom should I send my Formal Notice of Criminality committed by Dr. Clay Nichols?
No, you don't - this has all been explained to you in the past. You ignore the responses that don't fit what you want them to say. This is all a cruel game to you.
There’s some interesting information in the beginning of this video you might find interesting.

Hey, dhall.
Thanks for the link. Very interesting. There's an article in today's News & Observer on the front page titled "Lawsuit targets ban on nonlawyers giving legal advice" which is about the same topic discussed in the video.
Thanks for the link. Method One - report perjury to an attorney - is not practical as there is no attorney willing to accept a case about Crystal Mangum and work with me. Method Two - report to district attorney - is what I will do this coming week. The Durham District Attorney Satana Deberry, which would presumably be the appropriate D.A. to address, has repeatedly ignored me in order to preserve her claim to plausible deniability. Her shield of willful blindness/ignorance is compromised if she were to communicate with me. Nonetheless, I will present the formal notice to her. Through my many letters and e-mails sent and delivered to her since she assumed office in January 2019 have all been ignored.
When will you be releasing your secret project on your blog?
January 7, 2024 at 9:22 AM
Hey, Nifong double-supporter.
Information about the secret project will be released as soon as I received clearance from the project director to do so. This project was not originated by me, but one which I believed will be of immense help in getting Ms. Mangum released.
Was Crystal Mangum even stationed near Bremerton, WA?
The only information I found (in a report from Philip Klein) was that she trained to operate radios in Virginia in 1996, then was stationed in California on an ammunition ship in 1997.
She was chaptered out of the Navy in 1998 (either general or OTH discharge -- not an honorable discharge as some would lead you to believe) for getting pregnant by a man other than her husband, and at various times showing up drunk to work.
We all know Sid will never disclose this failed secret project that was supposed to get Crystal out by Thanksgiving, right? Like all his efforts - it's not sincere or real, it's strictly there to keep Crystal entrapped.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
First, apologies for not posting recently. I have been focused on trying to get Crystal freed and exonerated. As you are aware, the State is recalcitrant despite evidence of innocence and guilt; and with a complicit media's selective, suppressive, and slanted coverage, it is steadfastly asserting that Reginald Daye died of some mysterious complication from a stab wound to his left side. (Medical records clearly indicate that Daye died within hours of being electively removed from life-support because of his brain-dead comatose state... of which there is no nexus to the nonfatal stab wound Mangum inflicted in self-defense.)
Regarding secret/nonsecret projects: (1) To date I have not been given authorization to disclose a very significant project that is in its homestretch. (2) On Wednesday, I made an attempt to get an appointment with a state agency to discuss Mangum's case. Have not received a response, but am not optimistic because meeting with me for dialogue about Mangum's case would void the state's claim of plausible deniability through willful ignorance. (3) Yesterday, Thursday the 25th, I sent a two-set manual investigative packet to a Federal agency... which I will probably post in about a week or so with consideration of time constraints. (4) Awaiting action by an attorney which was supposed to take place this week. (5) Am in the process of writing a letter to a politician. and (6) Lacking any significant progress in any of the above, I will begin work, and plan to file, a civil brief next month as a plaintiff pro se.
Thank you for your patience. I will try to post your comments as soon as I am aware of them. If time permits, I will try to respond. As for now, I am in a very busy phase in my advocacy efforts, so please take that into account for any delays with administration of the blog site comments.
Dr. Harr -- I think the commenters here (like Guiowen and Prince Humperdinck) do actually worry about you -- but for whatever reason can't bring themselves to actually say as much.
To ease our minds, I recommend taking 2-5 minutes a week to drop a comment to let everyone know you're well. You don't necessarily need to provide updates or answer questions.
Now, with regard to your last comment: Did you speak to the lawyer in #4 about the actions you've taken in #2, #3, #5, #6?
If so, what was the lawyer's advice regarding these actions?
If you didn't speak to this lawyer about these actions, why not?
By all means, take your time responding -- I'd rather see a weekly comment from you about the weather than waiting months with no posting from you to see these questions answered.
I will, however, continue asking until you can provide a response.
I have reviewed a number of the documents you prepared and posted on your blog, Your legal analysis and reasoning is impressive and I have no doubt that you will prevail in these matters.
"Regarding secret/nonsecret projects: (1) To date I have not been given authorization to disclose a very significant project that is in its homestretch.

Can you provide additional information regarding your secret project?
January 31, 2024 at 5:23 PM
Hey, Habba Habba.
Am cautious about releasing info about most secret projects for fear of obstruction or interference by the opposition. Once carried out, I will be more inclined to release details. Will say that attorney involvement is still proceeding, and that am in the early stages of a lawsuit which I plan to file this month. Otherwise, I am awaiting a response from two sources.
Secretive planned events are progressing... slower than my liking, but I am not in total control of all situations. I am optimistic that the cavalry will arrive soon. Have been busy the last couple of months rounding up reinforcements.

Hey, dhall.
I agree that gui, you, the Prince, and others care about my welfare even if their opinions are not in sync with mine. Your suggestion is well taken, and I will try to at least respond to comments at least once a week at the minimum... will try to set aside Friday evenings as a time to regularly post and make other posts as needed.
With regards to the attorney, I sought his assistance for a specific and limited endeavor that is unrelated to the other objectives. The subject on which the attorney is focused is probably one, it not the, most important issue regarding Ms. Mangum. Will reveal it once it is completed... hopefully within a couple of weeks at the most.
I have noticed that kenhydural has not been posting lately. I find that he always offers insightful comments regarding the complex legal issues that you address on your blog. Do you have any idea when we can expect kenhydural to return?
I'm a senior citizen who believes that the state of North Carolina has harshly, excessively, and unjustly treated former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong.

Wow, Sid is still pushing the thoroughly debunked and discredited “felony murder” nonsense. No wonder no one takes you seriously, you clearly don’t take yourself seriously - you keep pushing something that was not legally possible. As has been repeatedly explained, Larceny of a Chose in Action cannot form the basis of felony murder. You know this but you don’t care because you clearly aren’t serious about helping Crystal, you just want her to think you are.
This “project” is pathetic even by your low standards.
Sid -- Please tell me this isn't your plan to have CGM freed by Christmas.
You've already tried the "Dr. Nichols committed perjury" argument, and it failed. (anyone interested can look for the CGM MAR order and recommendation from 2017).
Well, at least you got "different" right. Unfortunately for CGM, that's the only thing you got right in this statement.
I feel confident in stating that this notice and petition will garner exactly the response it deserves.

Hey, Anony.
Larceny of Chose in Action is a Class H Felony, and as such, if committed in an action wherein a death occurs, as is asserted by State prosecutors, grounds exist to elevate the murder to first-degree through use of the "felony-murder rule." I do not know why this concept is so difficult for many to comprehend.

Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
You will be relieved to know that this is not the major project upon which I am relying for Ms. Mangum's release by Christmas.
With regards to the failure of the Dr. Nichols committed perjury argument, the real failure is with the State's racist/biased court which refuses to rule objectively and impartially when it comes to Crystal Mangum.
Focus on a single issue: On Tuesday, November 19, 2013, Dr. Clay Nichols on the witness stand and under oath on two occasions during direct examination stated that he was unable to examine Mr. Daye's spleen at autopsy because it had been removed eleven days earlier during emergency surgery. Can we agree that this is an accurate accounting?
My question to you, Prince H. is: Was Dr. Nichols' testimony that Daye's spleen had been removed during emergency surgery eleven days prior to autopsy accurate... that his spleen was removed during emergency surgery and subsequently was not present at autopsy? Answer me that!
If you believe that Dr. Nichols' testimony was true, then how do you account for his autopsy report describes the spleen and its weight?
If you believe that Dr. Nichols' testimony was false, then explain how it is not perjury.
I await your response.
Dr. Harr -
“ Larceny of Chose in Action is a Class H Felony, and as such, if committed in an action wherein a death occurs, as is asserted by State prosecutors, grounds exist to elevate the murder to first-degree through use of the "felony-murder rule."

More knowledgeable resources have stated this is not correct. You have any of a number of resources you could ask (I suggest Mike Nifong, as he was a North Carolina DA, and would have direct knowledge of this). Apparently you haven’t bothered. Ignorance is lacking knowledge in a specific area. Refusing to gain knowledge is foolishness. You’re overstepping the bounds of ignorance with this argument.
Sid - I’m not going to waste my time arguing with you. The presence or absence of Daye’s spleen during the autopsy doesn’t matter.
The details for the court’s decision regarding the Nichols’ testimony and whether or not it could be considered perjury are here, starting on page 10.
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCOURTS-ncmd-1_16-cv-00978/pdf/USCOURTS-ncmd-1_16-cv-00978-0.pdf
No, it’s been shown to you many times … it only applies to a violent felony. You’ve been shown the statute and case law explaining why it doesn’t apply, yet you refuse to listen/learn, which is proof you aren’t serious in your efforts to help Crystal.
@ The Prince-- Regarding the cause of death: all the decisons, to deny, were based on the testimony of Dr. Nicholls and Dr.Roberts, fully accepted by the Judge and clearly shown to be incorrect by Dr. Wecht, with his opinion, that was supported by all medical evidence, and with his expert opinion that the intervening accident, unrelated to the stab wound, was the sole cause of death, thereby negating any Holsclaw or Welch precedent.
Kenhyderal - Sid's "formal notice and petition" is not about Wecht's opinion, it's about Nichols' alleged perjury.

Doesn't there have to be a $ amount (I want to say $1,000) exceeded before larceny (a non-violent crime) is considered "Felony Larceny"?
How much money did CGM supposedly steal?
I'm sure this was discussed before, but I'm not gonna bother to dig through all the previous posts to find it.
It's just too bad that Wecht won't do anything to help you. Too bad, Crystal!
It doesn’t matter how much it was - felony larceny cannot trigger felony murder. Despite Sid’s whining and misstatement of the law - not every felony can trigger felony murder. It must be a violent felony, and larceny doesn’t count. This has all been repeatedly explained to Sid and Kenny, and they’ve been provided statutes and case law. The fact they continue to ignore it shows this is all a charade to abuse Crystal and keep her emotionally tied to them as they try to isolate her and pretend only they care about her.
"It doesn’t matter how much it was - felony larceny cannot trigger felony murder.."
...And felony murder was not presented to the jury as an option. Felony Murder simply was never an option in this case. All you have to do is check the NC Pattern Jury Instruction the judge gave to the jury.
I think Lance the Intern was the first person to float the "felony murder" concept -- Where he was quickly corrected by Walt and an Anonymous poster....On 2013(!!).
It's wayyy past time for Sid to throw out this ridiculous "felony murder" schtick.
Sid -- Have you spoken to Mike Nifong regarding the ability to use "larceny of chose in action" to form the basis of felony murder?
What was his response?
@ The Prince: And on pp.17-18 "Here, the State presented Nichols’s testimony and autopsy report as evidence supporting the conclusion that Petitioner’s stabbing of Daye was the ultimate cause of his death. Petitioner criticizes that testimony and the report and points to what she believes are errors and deficiencies with the conclusion that Daye died from complications related to the stab wound. However, in reviewing for sufficiency of the evidence, all reasonable inferences are drawn in favor of the State. Here, there is no question that a rational trier of fact could have relied on Nichols’s testimony and the autopsy report to conclude that the stab wound inflicted by Petitioner was the cause of Daye’s death. Thus, to the extent that Petitioner intends to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, her claim fails and should be denied." Nicholl's testimony contained easily provable errors." Watch his testimony. It was obvious that he had no recollection of doing this autopsy and relied solely on his notes. Already in disgrace, he doubled down on what he wrote as correct even when he knew that the facts did not support this.

Larceny of chose in action is a Class H felony. That charge in Mangum's case was baseless. Why else would she be indicted other than as a means for justifying the elevation of the murder charge to first-degree through the felony-murder rule?

Hey, Anony.
Crystal was charged with stealing two cashier's checks, one for three hundred dollars and a second for four hundred dollars... a total of seven hundred dollars which is below the
one thousand dollar threshold for a felony in a straight larceny charge. However, for larceny of chose in action, there is no threshold limit required as it is an automatic low Class H felony.

December 4, 2023 at 5:27 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
One painful lesson I learned in advocating for Crystal is that not all judges rule with impartiality and integrity... they rule for a desired outcome and try to wrangle with legalese mumbo-jumbo a pretext for a ruling they know to be false.
Medical Examiner Dr. Clay Nichols testified twice that Daye's spleen had been removed during emergency surgery and was not present for examination at autopsy eleven days later. This is contradicted by the operative report and Nichols' own autopsy report in which he described the organ and its weight. In other words, Dr. Nichols made statements under oath he knew to be false. So, regardless of what the court says, by definition Dr. Nichols committed material perjury and he should therefore be prosecuted for it. Don't you agree?
Sid, the fact felony murder was never in play has been explained to you repeatedly, you have been shown the statute, case law, and the fact it was never brought up in the trial.
The fact you continue to bring it up and ask the same nonsensical questions shows either you are incapable of learning or unwilling to learn. Neither of which is helpful to Crystal.
It’s not a lie if you believe it’s true at the time.
The presence or absence of Daye’s spleen during the autopsy doesn’t matter. At no time was there a claim that issues with Daye’s spleen was the cause of death.
I imagine Wecht is trying to figure out how to get out of this mess. Oh, well, he probably feels that in two years this will end.
“No, I have not spoken to Mr. Nifong about the felony-murder rule.”
Of course you haven’t.
You’re the perfect example of someone doing a vast thing in a half-vast way…
On Nov 11, you wrote;
”Because I am privy to information to which you are not, I am going to venture that the probability that Crystal Mangum will be freed from prison and spend this coming Christmas with her family is 99.9%. Further, I predict the probability she will be freed from prison and spend this coming Thanksgiving with her family is 43%.
I will share the basis for my assessment with you at the earliest time possible.”
You have since stated that this formal notice is not the major project you were relying on for Ms. Mangum's release by Christmas.
So what information are you privy to that makes you 99.9% certain CGM will be out of prison by Christmas?
"doing a...thing in a half-vast way"
I see what you did there :)
Sid's done every lolsuit and legal filing in a "half-vast way" -- It's not just the most recent ones.
@ The Prince: The issue about Daye's spleen simply illustrated that Nicholls was not truthful in his testimony. On this matter he was caught red-handed but he still he refused to acknowledge he was obviously mistaken. The same is true of the cause of desth, where all the medical records indicate that he was wrong. Any lay person could acertain that from the facts and Nicholls, being a certified medical specialist, albeit one in disgrace, had to know that what he wrote in his report was provably incorrect. See that for yourself. Read the medico-legal definition of "cause of death" Read the Duke medical record of Daye and then see if you believe Nicholls did not knowingly deceive the Court.

2. Read the court document, paying close attention to page 11.
3. Consider yourself elucidated.

Felony murder was not presented to the jury as an option. All you have to do is check the NC Pattern Jury Instruction the judge gave to the jury.
Ask Mike Nifong if felony of chose in action can be used for justifying the elevation of a murder charge to first-degree through the felony-murder rule.
Let us know his response.
Dr. Harr,
I would like to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong. When is the next meeting?
@ The Prince 12-9-23 4:30 PM : Nichols' prevarication was not admitting he was mistaken. A far greater deceit, though, was sticking to his autopsy statement, of "cause of death" somthing he knew, like you do, that what he reported was wrong. I note, you chose to go after me about my spelling mistakes instead of responding to the comment in my post about the crucial issue of the cause of death.
"Nichols' prevarication was not admitting he was mistaken. A far greater deceit, though, was sticking to his autopsy statement, of "cause of death" somthing he knew, like you do, that what he reported was wrong."
Ah...You mean the cause of death that the defense's own expert witness agreed with.
Funny how you know what Dr. Nichols "knew...what he reported was wrong". As if you can mind read.
Perhaps your tarot cards told you?
I'm done with this discussion. It's meaningless. Sid's formal notice is meaningless. The court found that there was no perjury back in 2017.
As Anonymous @ December 1 stated:
"I feel confident in stating that this notice and petition will garner exactly the response it deserves."
Deal with it.
Sidney,
Why don't you, instead, go to the Clemency Board, and ask to have Crystal released now?
There's only about two years left in her present sentence, and I feel that, if she acts repentant enough, you could ask the Board to show some mercy.
I love how you refuse to comment on Sid still flogging felony murder despite how often it’s been debunked. Shows you are complicit in all of this with him and know he’s not serious about wanting Crystal out, he just wants her to think he is.

Hey, Anony.
Thanks for the notice. I wouldn't have know had you not alerted me about the submissions. I will respond to that later... possibly within 24 hours.
Have been busy working hard to try and have Crystal released from prison by Christmas. Should be able to provide important info about Mangum's case on December 19th.
Stay tuned.
KENHYDERAL,
I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
@ The Prince: 12-11-23: Of course I can't know what was in disgraced pathologist Nichols' mind when he doubled down on his insistence that what he testified to, regarding the spleen, true. It was, in fact, in direct conflict with his sloppy, so certified by Dr. Roberts, autopsy report on Daye. Dr. Aurelius. in her response to The Admissions. conceeded the obvious, that his testimony in Court was wrong/untrue. My speculation is, already disgraced, he was loath to admit how deficient this autopsy was. It was obvious in Court he had no recollection of doing it. Again I ask you to see, the obvious for yourself by comparing the medical records along with Dr. Wecht's report to Nichols' autopsy and testimony. Like too may defenders of the conviction of Crystal for murder, when faced with irrefutable facts, you choose to withdraw rather than conceed. Wrongful convictions, in a just society, can not be allowed to stand otherwise America is in great decline and once again is failing to live up to it's lofty constitutional promises.

Sidney,
Why don't you, instead, go to the Clemency Board, and ask to have Crystal released now?
There's only about two years left in her present sentence, and I feel that, if she acts repentant enough, you could ask the Board to show some mercy.
December 11, 2023 at 4:29 PM
Hey, gui, mon ami.
I already went to the Clemency Board seeking a release for Mangum on innocence. It, of course, will not consider that. Also, if Mangum accepts a pardon (not based on innocence), then it reflects an admission of guilt by her... which is something she should not accept.
Prince Humperdinck said...
"Nichols' prevarication was not admitting he was mistaken. A far greater deceit, though, was sticking to his autopsy statement, of "cause of death" somthing he knew, like you do, that what he reported was wrong."
Ah...You mean the cause of death that the defense's own expert witness agreed with.
Funny how you know what Dr. Nichols "knew...what he reported was wrong". As if you can mind read.
Perhaps your tarot cards told you?
I'm done with this discussion. It's meaningless. Sid's formal notice is meaningless. The court found that there was no perjury back in 2017.
As Anonymous @ December 1 stated:
"I feel confident in stating that this notice and petition will garner exactly the response it deserves."
Deal with it.
December 11, 2023 at 5:33 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
With regards to the cause of death, clearly the cause of Mr. Daye's death was the fact that he was electively removed from life-support... succumbing within hours after removal. He was removed from life-support because of his brain-death which was the result of an esophageal intubation... an intervening cause of death. The stab wound had no nexus to Daye's brain-death.
Furthermore, Dr. Nichols never established a cause of death. "Complications of a stab wound to the chest" doesn't count. Exactly, what "complications"? Dr. Nichols cannot specify what was the alleged complication that resulted in Daye's death... or even brain-death.
World-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht even mentioned the lack of credibility of defense expert witness Dr. Christena Roberts' report because of her spurious assertion that three intubations took place instead of two. The expert witness made this false claim for the purpose of shielding Duke University Hospital staff at the expense of her own client defendant.
Also, Prince H, what court ruling in 2017 determined that Dr. Nichols did not commit perjury? Could you provide elucidation on this matter? Thanks. I will await your response.

Dr. Harr,
I would like to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong. When is the next meeting?
December 10, 2023 at 6:27 AM
Hey, Nifong Double Supporter.
All that is required to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong is your name and a portrait photo, and an address to which a packet of membership can be mailed. Also a tee-shirt size of large or x-large. The membership packet includes a j4n tee-shirt, a certificate mounted on foam-core, your name applied to the margin of the stationery (on page three), twenty membership j4n business cards, and your photo added to the group photo of approximately a little more than fifty portraits. Joining the committee does not require dues or expenditure of your time. Lending your face and name to this social justice grassroots organization is all that is required. You can e-mail me personal contact info, photo, and tee-shirt size preference and I will send you a membership packet most likely within two weeks during Christmas season.
@ Nifong Supporter: I also replied to The Prince on Dec. 13th did you get that post?

Hey, Anony.
First, thanks for the notification. I would likely not have found out about it for some time after the filing. Here's a LINK to a letter to the case manager in response to the submissions.
Sid -- I posted the link to the 2017 court order, but for your elucidation, I'll post it again.

December 6, 2023 at 10:59 AM
Hey, gui, mon ami.
WRONG!!! Actually, Dr. Wecht will take part in a project which has heretofore not been revealed. I will probably be able to disclose the project in a about a week or so. Keep in mind, my efforts in support of Ms. Mangum's innocence would not be possible without the October 25, 2019 report by Dr. Cyril Wecht. In other words, there would be no possibility that I could have Crystal prematurely released without Dr. Wecht's involvement.
Anonymous Prince Humperdinck said...
It’s not a lie if you believe it’s true at the time.
The presence or absence of Daye’s spleen during the autopsy doesn’t matter. At no time was there a claim that issues with Daye’s spleen was the cause of death.
December 6, 2023 at 4:14 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
Is it your contention that Dr. Nichols did not commit perjury at trial because he believed it to be true when he said that Daye's spleen was not present at autopsy because it had been removed eleven days earlier by surgeons during emergency surgery? If that is your argument, then how do you explain his autopsy report in which he described the spleen and its weight?
Again, provide we with elucidation on this matter. I await your explanation.
In Harr v. NCOAH, there was a reassignment order assigning all further proceedings to Judge Dever.
I don't see a similar reassignment order for Mangum v. Aurelius, but I'll note that the motions were submitted to Judge Dever.
I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that if the plaintiff chose to submit the motions to Judge Dever (as he's the assigned judge), that's on the plaintiff, not the Judge or the case manager.
"Is it your contention that Dr. Nichols did not commit perjury at trial because he believed it to be true when he said that Daye's spleen was not present at autopsy because it had been removed eleven days earlier by surgeons during emergency surgery? If that is your argument, then how do you explain his autopsy report in which he described the spleen and its weight?"
Read the court order and recommendation. It's not my contention, it's the court's contention that he did not commit perjury.
Don't like it? Talk to the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
"All that is required to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong is your name and a portrait photo, and an address to which a packet of membership can be mailed.."
What if I don't want to become just a member? Are there elections? What if I want to run for one of the named positions (Community Activist, Communications Czar, or even Lay Advocate)?
"if Mangum accepts a pardon (not based on innocence), then it reflects an admission of guilt by her... which is something she should not accept."
That doesn't make any sense.
I mean, she's guilty now (otherwise she wouldn't be in prison). She'll have a prior felony convictions after she's released in 2026.
Why not accept a pardon now to get out of prison, then work on clearing her name and record?
Dr. Harr,
Thank you for the information regarding how to join the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong. However, you neglected to confirm for me the date of the Committee’s next meeting. I would very much like to attend the next meeting. When will it be held?
Dr. Harr,
I would like to make a contribution to the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong. Where should I mail the check?
Re: Harr v. NCOAH
NCOAH was granted their motion to dismiss yesterday (12/14), and the clerk will be closing the case.
It was dismissed with prejudice, so charges can be refiled, the claim can be altered, or the case brought to another court.
My assumption is that the motion to dismiss was granted due to Dr. Harr being dismissed as a petitioner from the contested case.
If it was dismissed with prejudice it cannot be refiled. If it is dismissed without prejudice it can.
It was dismissed cause it was a joke lawsuit like all the rest of Harr’s they exist for 1 purpose: to delude Mangum into thinking Harr is actually trying to help her, so she keeps in contact with him.
So, Sidney,
When is Wecht planning to take a stand for Crystal?
I thought "with prejudice" meant the case could not be filed again.
Sid -- Any chance you'll post the order from Harr v.NCOAH?

Notice the following:
(1) that the magistrate judge had no involvement; and
(2) that the order was made "without prejudice."
Sid,
Who advised you against disclosing your secret project? Are you working with Kenny on the secret project? We have been waiting at least a decade for Kenny to reveal his secret plans.
Sid --
There was a reassignment order on October 17th reassigning the case from Judge Louise Wood Flanagan to District Judge James C. Dever, III.
A copy of that order was mailed to you.
Apparently Dr. Harr isn't receiving my comments, or he's not approving them.
I corrected my statement from Dec 15th, stating that the case was dismissed without prejudice.
I had some issues with my Blogger account that have been corrected, yet my comments still aren't getting posted.
I'd hate for everyone to go through the Holiday season without elucidation, so I'm posting now as an anonymous user to see if the comments go through. :)

December 20, 2023 at 10:13 AM
Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
I am aware of the reassignment, and that is part of my complaint. Judge Flanagan, like Dever, is a district court judge, however she has no discernible links to Duke University and/or its enterprises. There was no reason given for the reassignment to a judge so heavily involved with Duke University.
Additionally, despite the fact that Magistrate Judge Brian S. Meyers was referred to the case, the case manager Stephanie Mann, instead of submitting the motions to Judge Meyers, leapfrogged him and gave the motions directly to Judge Dever. The court went out of its way to assure Judge Dever had control over the case.
I expressed my concerns in a letter to Ms. Mann dated and mailed on December 13th, a day prior to Dever's judgment and order.
LINK to letter to Ms. Mann
Note: The letter was sent in December, not January as mistakenly noted at the end of the letter.
You filed the lawsuit in the wrong court, Sid.
Complain all you want -- State court has jurisdiction in regards to this type of lawsuit, not federal court. It doesn't matter which judge signed the order, the decision to grant the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction was the correct decision.
You'd think you'd learned this lesson with your previous MAR/Habeus Corpus debacle.
I'm assuming that the decision to dismiss without prejudice was the federal court giving you the opportunity to file the lawsuit in the correct court.
Maybe this time you'll remove your name from the lawsuit (since you weren't a petitioner in the contested case), and you'll get CGM to, you know, actually sign the damn thing.
Sid -- Any updates on your formal notice and petition to the NCDOJ about the commission of a felony crime?
Also, who's advising you against disclosing your secret project?
Please provide us some elucidation.
There is no Constitutional right to have a magistrate appointed to any case. Referring and assigning matters to a magistrate judge is at the discretion of the district judge, not the other way around.
Just as the district judge has the discretion to assign matters, they have the discretion to reassign them.
See the Federal Magistrates Act:
28 U.S.C. §§ 631
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A)
You also keep bringing up Judge Dever's "lack of impartiality" in any proceeding regarding Crystal Mangum.
You have yet to identify any code or rule of law that would prompt Judge Dever's recusal.
See specifically 28 U.S.C. § 455. Section 455(a) (which identifies various grounds for federal judges' recusal).
KENHYDERAL,

Hey, dhall.
I appreciate your response to my legal questions, but what I find appalling is the fact that neither the clerk of court nor the case manager who submits motions, have made no efforts to reply. They just ignore my legitimate questions.
Regarding the issue of recusal, I believe the appearance of impartiality is at question because of the strong ties Judge Dever has to Duke University School of Law. Naturally, that would have a bearing on his decisions regarding the court cases involving Duke University and its enterprises (i.e., its hospital, etc.). Consider that Duke University blames Mangum for its spending of $100 million to resolve lawsuits against it brought by the Duke Lacrosse defendants. Also, it's Mangum's contention, supported by Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, that medical malpractice and not a nonfatal stab wound was responsible for Reginald Daye's brain-death and actual death.
Judge Dever wanted to maintain control of Mangum's legal cases because of the possibility of an assignment to another judge who was impartial and possessed more integrity... whereupon the likelihood of a just outcome would be enhanced and result in Mangum's freedom and exoneration.

Hey, Anony.
As you would expect, the NC Department of Justice has ignored me. No communication after more than a month.
Regarding the secret project, it will be revealed soon... too premature to do so now according to the person intimately involved with it (whom I will not name now).
Dr. Harr - Regardless of your beliefs, there are specific guidelines for recusal. To the best of my knowledge (and apparently to yours), Judge Dever does not the requirements for recusal.
Your beliefs and claim to read Judge Dever’s mind simply do not matter WRT recusal.
In regards to your letter, I don’t know if you posted it. The only one I see linked here is the letter addressed to Stephanie Mann, which contains a number of accusations and requests, but no questions.
Perhaps if you had actually asked legitimate questions rather than assert unfounded accusations, you would have received a response to that letter.
This person "intimately involved with" the project sounds like the one who told Sidney about the 99.9 percent probability.
Sid - Your problem is that you don’t understand the role of magistrate judges. Why would anyone respond to your letter when a 5 minute google search will tell you why the motions went to Judge Dever?
Tyrone Rugen
No, Sid understands things much better than he pretends. He also knows a Clerk cannot give legal advice or answer the questions he is asking.
When you realize that Sid's entire goal is to lie to Crystal and make her think he's trying to help her, to keep her emotionally isolated and dependent upon him (classic abuser techniques), so she continues to cling to him, and not to actually help her - because when she gets out, she's not gonna stick with Sid - you understand what he is doing, and why he refuses to listen/learn.
He doesn't want to help Crystal, he wants her to think he's trying to help her. If he really were trying, he'd fix a lot of the issues that are repeatedly pointed out on this blog.
This is all a game to him, and chance to manipulate Crystal.
Disgusting! The coward Tyrone, anonymously, impugns the intent and motives of Dr. Harr. The real "game" here is being played by the corrupt and rotten North Carolina Justice System. Pretending that if Dr. Harr would take the incincere advice of those who despise and mock him Crystal would be free. Every single person here knows Crystal did not murder Reginald Daye. Every single person here knows she was wrongly convicted and she is being wrongly imprisoned. It's got nothing to do with any so-called legal errors, made while in trying to obtain justice. That's simply their cop-out. What it does have to do with is the black state's desire for retribution against her for daring to accuse those, of priviledge, who sexually assaulted and robbed her and with their desire to keep her where she is, in the vain hope that when her wrongful sentence is over, this will all go away.
So, Kennyboy, why don't you do something?
The ignorant Kenhyderal attributes some anonymous poster’s comment to me.
Understand this, Kenny- when I have something to say, you’ll know it was me that wrote it.
Guiowen,
Let me remind you that kenhyderal is a Canadian veteran of the Royal Air Force who lives in Dubai and has limited means. He is a fighter for justice but, given his circumstances, his efforts are best spent defending Crystal by posting at Dr. Harr’s blog. Nonetheless, kenhyderal is working on a secret plan to win both a new trial and compensation for Crystal. I am confident that 2024 will be the year that kenhyderal’s hard work produces results.
And for these reasons, I am proud to call kenhyderal my friend.
@ Tyrone My apologies.No need for gratuitous insults. Understand,it can be a bit tricky to sort out all you anonymous posters. I often wish you and many others, here, would choose to post as a registered user.
@ Guiowen: Make that the Royal Canadian Air Force as opposed to the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force. This was the historic designation. Presently, though in Canada all the Services are combined and are jointly known as the Canadian Armed Forces
@ KH Supporter: cf. , my post, addressed to registered poster Guiowen, to corrct the information you sent to him.
Kenny - Calling you ignorant wasn’t an insult. You obviously lacked the knowledge of who wrote the comment.

Well, Kenny..Bear in mind, sarcasm is the body's natural defense against stupidity.
"...because of the strong ties Judge Dever has to Duke University School of Law. Naturally, that would have a bearing on his decisions regarding the court cases involving Duke University and its enterprises "
Sid -- Has Mangum ever filed a case with Duke University or its enterprises as a plaintiff that have gone before Judge Dever?
It's a simple yes/no question.
Funny how Kenny says "No need for gratuitous insults" after insulting one of the commenters here by calling them a coward.
Sid -- What is this "kenhyderal doctrine"? Does it apply to everyone BUT Kenhyderal?
I made a comment about Kenny yesterday that certainly was no more insulting than Kenny calling Tyrone a coward on December 28. However, Sid refused to release my comment. So, yes, it certainly appears that Sid is unwilling to apply the kenhyderal doctrine to Kenny.
The Kenhyderal doctrine states that people must never say anything that offends Kenhyderal.
@ Anonymous 1-2-24 9:50 AM. I've always made it clear here, that I consider those who post
anonymously with insuling accusations are too cowardly to openly do so as a Registered User. I was replying to Tyrone's disgusting post calling Dr. Harr a liar, an abuser and a manipulater. Semantically speaking it was not gratuitous.
Kenny,
We covered this once—
Tyrone was not the author of the post on December 27 at 4:03 AM. Why is this so difficult for you to comprehend?
"Tyrone's disgusting post calling Dr. Harr a liar, an abuser and a manipulater. Semantically speaking it was not gratuitous."
Except I never posted a comment referring to Sid this way - an Anonymous user (posting as "Anonymous") on December 27, 2023 at 4:03 AM made these statements while replying back to me.
You're a liar by stating it was my post that called Sid these things.
@ GUIOWEN 1-2-24 Wrong; Ken Edwards is a thick skinned big boy who can defend himself. The doctrine was demanded by me to prevent gratuitous slanderous and demeaning comments about Crystal, hurtful to her, her chidren, her Family and friends; all only mean spirited and without any basis in fact. And secondly, to stop the juvenile noncence and chanting that was going on here while others were trying to have a reasonable discussion. Look back on it's genesis yourself and see if you agree. You were of course here then.
Nana D --
Kenny doesn't understand that blogger puts "Name said...." at the beginning of every post.
He just attributes whomever has gotten the better of him lately to the comment in an attempt to make that person look bad.
He knows that he can do that freely because the "kenhyderal doctrine" doesn't apply to him, only those that offend him.
@ Tyrone: Once again my apologies. As I've indicated before, if you would all register under your user-name it would be easier to determine who is saying what. As well, it would eliminate the annonymous and mischievous tagging of "supporter of" or even "supporter of supporter of"; none of which add genuine support to the real cause of freeing an innocent person, wrongly imprisoned, that's a disgraceful blight on the American Justice System. What's to fear? Get on the right side of history.
The Kenhyderal Song:
you meet kenny

and you never bother to wonder why

“If you would all register under your user-name it would be easier to determine who is saying what.”
That’s a ridiculous argument.
Blogger would still put “Tyrone Rugen said…” at the beginning of every comment I make.
The only difference would be a blogger icon and a link to a blogger page with no actual information about me.
….And someone could easily enough create a blogger account of “Tyrone Rugen Supporter” as well, so it wouldn’t eliminate that either.
Anonymous @ January 4, 2024 at 9:51 AM - A Rollins Band reference? Outstanding.
Kenhyderal -- There's nothing to stop a user from creating a blogger account with a name that is just as anonymous as "Nifong Supporter Supporter". Having that registered as a user account doesn't make it any easier to determine who is making the comment. I can read who made a particular comment without them being registered, you should be able to as well.
I don't understand where your argument that "if you would all register under your user-name it would be easier to determine who is saying what." comes from.
@ Anonymous 1-4-24 9:51 (re: his paraphrasing Henry Rollins). My take on that is; Ken, "tells you things you already know" ie. Crystal Mangum is innocent. Pretending you don't know this is dishonest and perverse.
Guiowen,
I think you are confused. At my request, Dr. Harr adopted the kenhyderal supporter doctrine, which states that all posts that needlessly insult or disparage kenhyderal will be deleted from this blog.
Let me know if further elucidation is required.
Kenny,
Please explain to your boss that "Nifong supporter" is a very bad tag. He would do much better as "mangum supporter".

Dr. Harr -
As I stated in an email to you, “… it's not the responsibility of the AG's office to prosecute specific crimes (like perjury) unless requested to do so by a local district attorney (which they don't have authority over).”
I’m sure this is why the link/phone number to find your local DA.

I guess it’s true that Kenny can make false claims and call people derogatory names, but no one else can.

January 6, 2024 at 2:28 PM
Hey, dhall.
Question: If a district attorney's star witness - who happens to be a state employee - commits material perjury in obtaining an unjust and wrongful conviction, who or what agency is responsible for opening a criminal investigation into the witness?
Question: Do you believe, in the above scenario, there is a conflict of interest with an investigation conducted by the district attorney?
Question: For whom should I send my Formal Notice of Criminality committed by Dr. Clay Nichols?
I eagerly await your responses.
Dr. Harr- You should send your formal notice to the appropriate authorities. The AG’s office is not that authority.
Start with asking your local DA’s office. If they can’t (or won’t) provide you with the appropriate agency, hire a lawyer.
If you do hire a lawyer, you should make them aware of the District Court’s decision from 2017 regarding previous claims of Nichols’ alleged perjury.
Dr. Harr,
When will you be releasing your secret project on your blog?

Thanks for the link. Very interesting. There's an article in today's News & Observer on the front page titled "Lawsuit targets ban on nonlawyers giving legal advice" which is about the same topic discussed in the video.

See how easy that was?

Hey, Anony.
Thanks for the link. Method One - report perjury to an attorney - is not practical as there is no attorney willing to accept a case about Crystal Mangum and work with me.
Method Two - report to district attorney - is what I will do this coming week. The Durham District Attorney Satana Deberry, which would presumably be the appropriate D.A. to address, has repeatedly ignored me in order to preserve her claim to plausible deniability. Her shield of willful blindness/ignorance is compromised if she were to communicate with me. Nonetheless, I will present the formal notice to her. Through my many letters and e-mails sent and delivered to her since she assumed office in January 2019 have all been ignored.

Dr. Harr,
When will you be releasing your secret project on your blog?
January 7, 2024 at 9:22 AM
Hey, Nifong double-supporter.
Information about the secret project will be released as soon as I received clearance from the project director to do so. This project was not originated by me, but one which I believed will be of immense help in getting Ms. Mangum released.
"This project was not originated by me..."
Probably the best news Mangum's gotten in 11 years.
Kenny,
Why won’t you answer my question?
Was Crystal Mangum even stationed near Bremerton, WA?
The only information I found (in a report from Philip Klein) was that she trained to operate radios in Virginia in 1996, then was stationed in California on an ammunition ship in 1997.
She was chaptered out of the Navy in 1998 (either general or OTH discharge -- not an honorable discharge as some would lead you to believe) for getting pregnant by a man other than her husband, and at various times showing up drunk to work.
@ A Durham Man 1--9-24 5:15 AM : What question and on what thread was that? Can you repeat it?
Kenny,
I posted my question on January 7 @4:36 PM and on January 1 @ 7:14 AM.
Here is a link to the article by Philip Klein mentioned in Prince Humperdinck's comment:
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/magazine/293663/durham-bull/
It's worth a read.

We all know Sid will never disclose this failed secret project that was supposed to get Crystal out by Thanksgiving, right? Like all his efforts - it's not sincere or real, it's strictly there to keep Crystal entrapped.
kenhyderal,
Thank you for your service.
Sid’s “secret projects” consist of Sid asking his Magic 8 Ball questions, and relying on the responses to determine his actions.
Sid: oh magic 8 ball, should I file a lawsuit against NCOAH?
Magic 8 Ball: It is decidedly so.
Sid: o, should I speak to one of my legal resources first?
Magic 8 Ball: My reply is no.
Sid: oh magic 8 ball, will this get CGM out of prison by Christmas?
Magic 8 Ball: Outlook good.
""Information about the secret project will be released as soon as I received clearance from the project director to do so."
● Better not tell you now
"This project was not originated by me, but one which I believed will be of immense help in getting Ms. Mangum released."
● Cannot predict now
So, Sidney,
Any luck getting Cyril Wecht to help you? From what I hear, he took a good sum of money from you, but has done nothing to help you.
Right on Little Man Supporter.
No movement on Mangum v. Aurelius
Apparently Sid's either not approving comments, or no one's commented since Jan 16 (something I find hard to believe).
Let us know if you're OK, Sid.
It'd be nice to know any details about your secret project, too.
I’m proud to call kenhyderal my friend.
Sidney,
Are you all right? Can you tell us anything about your secret project? Have you been able to get any help from Wecht?
So, Sidney, any news?
KENHYDERAL,
I HAVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PARTY THAT YOU WANT. YOU JUST NEED TO CONTACT ME.
Even over the holidays, Sid hasn't gone 2 weeks without posting a comment on this particular blog entry.
Kenny -- Have you checked on Sid lately?
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
First, apologies for not posting recently. I have been focused on trying to get Crystal freed and exonerated. As you are aware, the State is recalcitrant despite evidence of innocence and guilt; and with a complicit media's selective, suppressive, and slanted coverage, it is steadfastly asserting that Reginald Daye died of some mysterious complication from a stab wound to his left side. (Medical records clearly indicate that Daye died within hours of being electively removed from life-support because of his brain-dead comatose state... of which there is no nexus to the nonfatal stab wound Mangum inflicted in self-defense.)
Regarding secret/nonsecret projects:
(1) To date I have not been given authorization to disclose a very significant project that is in its homestretch.
(2) On Wednesday, I made an attempt to get an appointment with a state agency to discuss Mangum's case. Have not received a response, but am not optimistic because meeting with me for dialogue about Mangum's case would void the state's claim of plausible deniability through willful ignorance.
(3) Yesterday, Thursday the 25th, I sent a two-set manual investigative packet to a Federal agency... which I will probably post in about a week or so with consideration of time constraints.
(4) Awaiting action by an attorney which was supposed to take place this week.
(5) Am in the process of writing a letter to a politician.
and (6) Lacking any significant progress in any of the above, I will begin work, and plan to file, a civil brief next month as a plaintiff pro se.
Thank you for your patience. I will try to post your comments as soon as I am aware of them. If time permits, I will try to respond. As for now, I am in a very busy phase in my advocacy efforts, so please take that into account for any delays with administration of the blog site comments.
As you were.
Dr. Harr --
I think the commenters here (like Guiowen and Prince Humperdinck) do actually worry about you -- but for whatever reason can't bring themselves to actually say as much.
To ease our minds, I recommend taking 2-5 minutes a week to drop a comment to let everyone know you're well. You don't necessarily need to provide updates or answer questions.
Now, with regard to your last comment:
Did you speak to the lawyer in #4 about the actions you've taken in #2, #3, #5, #6?
If so, what was the lawyer's advice regarding these actions?
If you didn't speak to this lawyer about these actions, why not?
By all means, take your time responding -- I'd rather see a weekly comment from you about the weather than waiting months with no posting from you to see these questions answered.
I will, however, continue asking until you can provide a response.
Thanks!
Sidney,
I have reviewed a number of the documents you prepared and posted on your blog, Your legal analysis and reasoning is impressive and I have no doubt that you will prevail in these matters.
Sidney,
Have you any news for us?

Federal agencies can only investigate federal crimes. What federal crime are you alleging occurred?
What attorney action was supposed to take place this week?
Dr. Harr,
Can you provide additional information regarding your secret project?
To date I have not been given authorization to disclose a very significant project that is in its homestretch.
● Ask again later
On Wednesday, I made an attempt to get an appointment with a state agency to discuss Mangum's case. Have not received a response, but am not optimistic because meeting with me for dialogue about Mangum's case would void the state's claim of plausible deniability through willful ignorance.
● Don't count on it
Yesterday, Thursday the 25th, I sent a two-set manual investigative packet to a Federal agency... which I will probably post in about a week or so with consideration of time constraints.
● Outlook not so good
Awaiting action by an attorney which was supposed to take place this week.
● Very doubtful
Am in the process of writing a letter to a politician.
● Most likely
Lacking any significant progress in any of the above, I will begin work, and plan to file, a civil brief next month as a plaintiff pro se.
● Outlook not so good

Hey, Habba Habba.
Am cautious about releasing info about most secret projects for fear of obstruction or interference by the opposition. Once carried out, I will be more inclined to release details. Will say that attorney involvement is still proceeding, and that am in the early stages of a lawsuit which I plan to file this month. Otherwise, I am awaiting a response from two sources.

Hey, Prince Humperdinck.
Consultation with an attorney about Crystal's case was not held this week due to scheduling problems. Hopefully an appointment will be held next week.

Hey, Anony.
I am no attorney, but I believe racial discrimination is a federal crime.

Hey, gui, mon ami.
Secretive planned events are progressing... slower than my liking, but I am not in total control of all situations. I am optimistic that the cavalry will arrive soon. Have been busy the last couple of months rounding up reinforcements.

Hey, dhall.
I agree that gui, you, the Prince, and others care about my welfare even if their opinions are not in sync with mine. Your suggestion is well taken, and I will try to at least respond to comments at least once a week at the minimum... will try to set aside Friday evenings as a time to regularly post and make other posts as needed.
With regards to the attorney, I sought his assistance for a specific and limited endeavor that is unrelated to the other objectives. The subject on which the attorney is focused is probably one, it not the, most important issue regarding Ms. Mangum. Will reveal it once it is completed... hopefully within a couple of weeks at the most.
Dr. Harr -- I'm glad to read you've engaged a lawyer.
I hope it goes well.
Sidney,
I have noticed that kenhydural has not been posting lately. I find that he always offers insightful comments regarding the complex legal issues that you address on your blog. Do you have any idea when we can expect kenhydural to return?
Kenny is Sid's alter ego.
"...plan to file, a civil brief next month as a plaintiff pro se"
Which of your civil rights have been violated? By who?
Not only are you asking the OAH to compel Dr. Roberts to respond to your affirmatives, you're asking them to pay for her time to do so?
I think that's about the worst thing I've ever heard.
[pause]
How marvelous.
