A Lawyer wrote at 12:11: "Walt, I am a little puzzled by this. I have never tried a homicide case, and I am not admitted in NC, so there may be NC caselaw I am not familiar with, but why does self-defense require an admission that the defendant intended to kill the victim?"

In State v. Gaston, 2013 N.C. App. LEXIS 930 (9/3/2013) the court ruled that to be entitled to an instruction for imperfect self defense, the following questions must be answered in the affirmative: "(1) Is there evidence that the defendant in fact formed a belief that it was necessary to kill his adversary in order to protect himself from death or great bodily harm, and (2) if so, was that belief reasonable? If both queries are answered in the affirmative, then an instruction on self-defense must be given. If, however, the evidence requires a negative response to either question, a self-defense instruction should not be given."

The Gaston court spends a lot of time rejecting the notion that the defendant can accidentally, or even recklessly commit self defense. It has to be an affirmative belief that it was necessary to kill. That's what makes the self defense doctrine such a hobson's choice in NC. If the jury doesn't believe it was necessary (i.e. could have retreated, could have harmed but not killed, or it just wasn't a deadly situation) the defendant is left with their admission of intentional killing. That opens the door to Murder I in what would ordinarily be a case of escalating battery maybe just a Class H felony (misdemeanor manslaughter). Plead self defense and all of a sudden LWOP or the rusty needle becomes a risk.

Walt, if what you say is true (and I have no reason to believe it's not), then that helps explain why the North Carolina justice system is so screwed up. Do you know if any of the other states have such a screwy law?; September 22, 2013 at 1:14 PM

So, we are all hoping you are feeling better soon ...
did you know that?

Actually that youtube video is also a book. The details are in-depth, and when you put them together, you can see what most people have suspected all along very easily.

It might be hard for you to take in - i guess - it does tend to make you go wtf wtf wtf a few times.

I'm actually wondering at this point in time if the cia is not trying very very hard to turn durham/duke into another flash point. i have ALWAYS had that feeling about durham/duke for a long time now, but even more recently ... i mean ... well ... anyway ... it will be interesting to see how long that video stays intact on youtube ... sometimes it appears that some of the videos are 'hijacked' ... so ... we'll see.

Anyway ... i think pushing for justice like dr. harr does through the court system is the best idea - it is nonviolent - it gets the point across hopefully - and - might - might - even be able to achieve a difference for the better for 'we the people' ... we can all hope - and try as we can - but - no uprising so to speak is recommended by myself - cuz i keep getting the feeling like that is what they want - to turn to their own purposes again.

We need more couragous lawyers to help restore the USA to the people if possible.

What do you think?

Thanks for the encouraging words. I am trying hard to rescue Lady Justice from the well-heeled and powerful hijackers, so that all Tar Heelians can have enjoy equal justice.; September 22, 2013 at 1:19 PM

Still waiting for Dr. Harr to show us the defendants' response to his much-touted lawsuit against the State of North Carolina. I haven't seen it yet (and have searched on-line, though not through PACER), but I would bet that the defendants raise exactly the motions to dismiss that I predicted as soon as the lawsuit was filed.

That is not because I have any great prophetic talents, but simply because any journeyman lawyer would take one look at that Complaint and say, "Res Judicata. Judicial Immunity. 11th Amendment. Standing. Younger v. Harris."

Hey, A Lawyer.

You are correct about the doctrines of res judicata. At present I am working on my response to the Duke Defendants' Motion to Dismiss. As soon as it is completed and filed I will post the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss along with my response.

I completed the most recent flog early Saturday, and started working on my response today.; September 22, 2013 at 1:23 PM

So, for Dr. Harr, who communicated with Duke his plans to be on their property in order to attend the conferance and received no word telling him he wasn't welcome - so he attended the event.

Yet, once at the event, and because a media person began conversing with Dr. Harr at the event, Duke uncermoniously kicks Dr. Harr off their campus with no explanation why.

Dr. Harr, understanding he now has a conflict with Duke that could cost him his life in terms of medical care and legal support if needed, tries to resolve the issue in professional manner to the best of his abilities to insure a conflict did not exist in respect for his own medical well being.

Duke ignores him and does not alleviate the conflict of interest - therefore creating both a legal and medical conflict of interest of DUKE against DR. HARR - even though Dr. Harr has tried to communicate with them in professional manner repeatedly to insure that no conflict exists.

Does Duke now owe Dr. Harr for loss of both medical and legal services from Duke with no conflict of interest in respect for his own well-being - since Duke is the one who created, perpetuated, and maintains a continued conflict of interest against Dr. Harr?

Anonymous, you bring for some interesting and practical questions. Rest assured that I would never feel comfortable in a hospital owned by Duke University. I am not certain that Daye was not intentionally murdered in the hospital in order to level a severe charge against Mangum.

Furthermore, I will never knowingly set foot on any property owned by Duke University.; September 22, 2013 at 1:34 PM

More lies and istortions in your scseed:

You call Crystal the victim/accuer in the Duke Lacrosse case. She is the victimizer/false accuser. No one victimized her, and she falsely accused three innocent men of raping her. And you avoid the issues of why there was no probable cause to believe she had been raped, no medical evidence, no forensic evidence, and she could not reliably identify any member of the Lacrose team as an assailant.

You say, again, that Reginald Daye was a violent serial abuser of women. You again try to conceal evidence he was not.

TYou allege Reginald Daye died as a result of an esophageal intubation when the records you illegally accessed and posted show that was not the case.

You allege, without presenting any proof that Dr. Clay Nichols produced a fraudulent autopsy report.

You call yourself a retired physician but try to conceal that your post medical school record(you did not deny the the information published by the Indy Weekly) shows you are a singularly untrained and unqualified physician, one wthout the expertise or experience to comment meaningfully on the Reginald Daye killing.; September 22, 2013 at 1:36 PM

I find it interesting that Harr has not denied the descriptions of his past life, incuding filing countless law suits, engaging in potential fraud (false signature?.....which, apparently, he also did with Mangum's motions?....),etc. His current behavior is consistent with his past......spends his time dreaming up false allegations, playing lawyer wannabe and fantasizing online. Remember this whole web site is based on Harr's fantasies. In truth he is a failed physician and, possibly, has gotten himself into legal troubles more than once.
There are a handfull of people who occasionally post here.......my guess is less than ten people regularly look at this site, and about that many who actually post something. The truth is that Harr has tried to push himself into actions against Duke and been soundly reprimanded by the courts/judges. The truth is that his advice to Mangum has done nothing but waste time, warn off four good attorneys, and cost taxpayers money. The truth is that he is a pathetic older man, looking for attention, dreaming up conspiracy, using people like Mangum, and FAILING.
I think he and Mangum have much in common....a sense of entitlement and victimhood, a questionable morality about lying, a pattern of blaming others, and a history of deceit. No wonder she is attracted to him.
In the end, Mangum will face accountability for her behavior. I sincerely hope she will straighten herself up, get her life back on track, demonstrate responsible choices, and, eventually, be able to see her children. And I sincerely hope she will stay FAR AWAY from users like Victoria Peterson and Sidney Harr

What was in the "Indy Week" was essentially a bunch of garbage about issues more than twenty years old. Regarding forgery, I never forged anyone's signature in the past and I certainly didn't forge Mangum's on the motions filed with the court.; September 22, 2013 at 1:40 PM

You have no talent as a physician, you have no talent as a lawyer and your fortitude and what you call courage is devoted to distorting truth and justice, e.g. calling Crystal a victim/accuser and saying murderer Shan Carter should get a pass for murder.

Walt said...: Sid wrote: "Walt, if what you say is true (and I have no reason to believe it's not), then that helps explain why the North Carolina justice system is so screwed up. Do you know if any of the other states have such a screwy law?" Referring to the requirement that the defendant act with intention to have valid self defense.

That is the general rule in all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia. Indeed, in English law, the general common law principle is stated in Beckford v. Regina, (1988) 1 AC 130: "A defendant is entitled to use reasonable force to protect himself, others for whom he is responsible and his property. It must be reasonable."

Similar clauses are found in the legislation throughout the western world. They derive historically from article 6 of the French Penal Code of 1791, which ruled that "manslaughter is legitimate if it is indispensably dictated by the present necessity of legitimate defense of oneself or others". The modern French penal code further specifies that excessive self-defense is punishable due to "disproportion between the means of defense used and the gravity of the attack" defended against.

I have found one case, Valentine v. Commonwealth, ___ Va. ___, 48 S.E.2d 264 (Va. 1948) where the Virginia Supreme Court upheld self defense where the defendant claimed mistaken self defense. (She forgot she had a knife in her hand. Her only intent was to use her fists to ward off her attacker.) The Virginia courts have spent the last 60 years narrowing and distinguishing the holding in Valentine so I don't know how broadly we can apply that case. While I suspect there may be other cases like Valentine, they are few and I could not find them.

Crystal's position is very much Valentine. Unfortunately, Valentine is a Virginia case. The courts in NC are generally thought to be much more progressive than those in Virginia. I suspect they (the Judges on the Court of Appeals and the Justices on the Supreme Court) don't want a Valentine defense to come up in NC. Further, I suspect they fear that the public and the GOP lead Legislature having made a limited abandonment of the retreat doctrine, that they will soon have an Aponte problem. 418 N.Y.S.2d 651 (N.Y. App. Div. 1979). (Defendant didn't retreat and was acquitted.)

I can't stand Crystal Mangum and the rotten things she has done in our community.....BUT....she is entitled to a fair trial. If she is willing to go on the stand and (a)admit she intentionally killed Daye, (b)subject herself to cross examination.........then maybe she can prevail.

Anonymous said...: It's true that in some cases a jury believed that an assault (without physical evidence of a beating) was possible....and that the victim had to kill "her" attacker in self defense. The problem is that Mangum, through harr, has told a wild story of getting beaten, punched, choked and scratched........and there is no evidence to support that story. If she had said, all along, that she and Daye were arguing, that she picked up a knife, that they wrestled, that she didn't mean to stab him, that it was an accident....maybe, maybe, it would be possible. But, if you claim that you are getting your ass kicked by a wild man, after he is dead and can't defend himself with his version of events, and there is NO evidence of the beating......you sure have one helluva hurdle to jump with a jury.
Facial punches and head punches almost ALWAYS leave bruises, at the very least. Somebody getting violently choked and no neck marks? No, not likely at all.
And, again, Mangum had the opportunity by her own admission, to RUN. (flee). Why didn't she? And why, for pete sake, did she take her purse? It just does not add up....; September 23, 2013 at 7:00 AM

Did you see any compelling evidence on Dawn Kavanaugh's mug shot that showed she had been severely beaten?

Walt said...: Let's take a more careful look at the Dawn Kavanaugh case, shall we?

1. Sid alleges that the NC council of District Attorneys took over the case after a conflict of interest arose. In fact, the Special Prosecutor's office within the Department of Justice took over the case. Not, the NC Conference of District Attorneys. For the record, the conference is a state agency that provides training material to the 44 elected District Attorneys, not prosecutors.

2. From the outset, the defendant claimed self defense. Her claim was corroborated by other witnesses. It was not developed after the fact.

3. Dawn Kavanugh ended her relationship with Ketchum on February 10, a month before Ketchum's death. When the attack happened, he was not a permissive user of her home. Instead, he barged in to Kavanaugh's kitchen.

4. Ketchum was a paroled felon with a violent history documented by his criminal record. In fact he had a record of: robbery, larceny, drug possession and DWI, all dating back to 1993. Ketchum looks like he was escalating in crime and violence. His parole was from Federal Prison. It is worth noting that Ketchum received a sentence enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2B3.1(b)(2)(F) for making a threat of death. He had a history of threatening people and was believable enough that a bank teller cleaned out her drawer in response to his robbery. That makes Kavanaugh's belief seem reasonable.

Not really comparable cases.

What hatred? It is not hatred to point out the truth, that Crystal falsely accused innocent men of raping her and SIDNEY is trying to convince the world that the falsely accused men are guilty.

The problem is that SIDNEY believes the law does not apply to Crystal. SIDNEY believes she should get a pass because of her ethnicity(I am not Walt).

"Did this case occur after the castle doctrine became law or before, and how did that effect the outcome of the case?"

If the Castle Doctrine was in effect I, a non lawyer, believe it would have been applicable. Read Walt's summary. Ms. Kavanaugh was attacked in her own home.

"I'm courious if Mr. Ketchum also received malpractice leading to death in his treatment after receiving the stab wound. Do you know that part of the case Dr. Harr?"

SIDNEY HARR is totally incapable of determining whether or not there was malpractice in the treatment of Mr. Ketchum. He has shown he has no idea of what happened to Reginald Daye. His accusations of malpractice against Duke are delusions not supported by facts. If you believe SIDNEY, you are also deluded. If you can not back up your allegations of malpractice against Duke you are fabricating.

"But, is Ms. Mangum receiving unfair treatment from the state? Yes, otherwise she wouldn't still be awaiting, unprepared without assurance of adequate legal assistance to stand trial or defend herself. That part of the durham/duke justice system needs to change for all."

Yes I would. How about you provide a link to the stories. It shouldn't be hard for you if you do have the references. I googled "burned babies in incubators at Duke University Medical Center" and go no hits.

"or the one about the fake blood everyone had to worry about - and how duke continued to use the fake blood in nonemergency care on inpatients - and killed people with it instead - and finally got in trouble for that after quite a few patients had died from their continued fake blood malpractice - even after the deaths were obviously apparent? How much money did they make from that deadly study?"

Again, if you know where this is recorded, why don't you provide a link? I did google "fake blood at Duke" and found a reference that named a number of institutions using a blood substitute including Duke but no specific references to this as a cause of malpractice suits against Duke.

The principle is, he who asserts must prove. You are asserting but you are not proving. That is why I believe you are fabricating your stories, or at least distorting them. If you want me to stop believing that, live up to your responsibility to prove what you assert.

But you alleged there was malpractice. It is highly unlikely if there was malpractice on the part of an institution like Duke that no malpractice suits would have been filed

"duke may have settled or had some other way of getting out of malpractice"

You still have not supported the allegations you have made. Why?

"i do not know how far back the news archives go on duke"

Well once I found news stories on a malpracticing physician in the Navy from 30 years ago.

Obviously because you can't.

Of course the law applies equally. That is what the rule of law is all about. As Anonymous at 4:23 PM put it, Sid doesn't want the law to apply to Crystal.

However, I do not agree that my points were extraneous. I made four points, the first was to point out Sid's mis-identification of the prosecutor. That goes to the credibility of his report.

The second point shows the difference between Kavanaugh's story and Mangum's. Mangum did not come up with the self defense angle until after Daye was dead and could not speak for himself. Kavanaugh maintained self defense from the beginning. After formulated versions of events are never as persuasive as those formulated concurrent with the event. Goes to the credibility of the two defendants.

The third point goes to timing. Kavanaugh ended her relationship with Ketchum. Thus, he was not an expected visitor in her house. Further, that point disputes Sid's version of the facts. A version that is not supported by any of the contemporaneous news reporting.

The final point goes to the reasonableness of Kavanaugh's belief that deadly force was necessary to defend herself. Ketchum had a history of convincing people he was dangerous. He convinced a bank teller. He convinced a federal probation officer, he convinced a federal magistrate and he convinced a federal District Court Judge. That goes to the heart of the issue of self defense. How reasonable was the defendant's belief. Given how convincing Ketchum was, I think her belief was reasonable.

"Did this case occur after the castle doctrine became law...?"

Anyone who has RTF knows it was after.

"I'm courious if Mr. Ketchum also received malpractice leading to death...?"

It would not matter. Anyone who has RTF knows that St. v. Welch and St. v. Holsclaw hold that malpractice is not an intervening cause.

"But, is Ms. Mangum receiving unfair treatment from the state?"

No, she is not.

"...otherwise she wouldn't still be awaiting, unprepared without assurance of adequate legal assistance to stand trial or defend herself."

She has fired all of her attorneys but one. She, without the authorization of her many attorneys, filed numerous frivolous motions that caused delay after delay. She has had adequate, even excellent legal representation. She just doesn't like what they tell her.

"That part of the durham/duke justice system needs to change for all."

Duke and Durham have had nothing to do with Mangum's firing her own legal counsel. Duke and Durham have had nothing to do with her maneuvering to get special privileges not normally granted to indigent defendants.

I don't understand why you don't see duke/durham judicial system as a part of what Ms. Mangum and this case represent and entail - especially since both and collectively duke/durham have been sued by the lacrosse players for their nefarious judicially based procedures that caused so many, including Ms. Mangum, to suffer so much. She is not the DA, Judges, public defender, or cops, or duke admin, or docs or nurses - she had no control over what they did as far as I could see - since it was an out-of-control case from the beginning, wouldn't you say?

Also, do you imply that since she is an indigent defendant that she does not have the same and equal right to protection and due process of law in the duke/durham judicial system - which would include a lawyer who she could trust to work with to assist her in her own defense, and the right to a speedy trial - right?; September 24, 2013 at 6:37 AM

"I don't understand why you don't see duke/durham judicial system as a part of what Ms. Mangum and this case represent and entail - especially since both and collectively duke/durham have been sued by the lacrosse players for their nefarious judicially based procedures that caused so many, including Ms. Mangum, to suffer so much."

Crystal caused the harm to the innocent lacrosse defendants.

"She is not the DA, Judges, public defender, or cops,..."

No, but she is the one who filed the frivolous motions, she fired competent counsel, she caused the delays, not the DA, not the judges and not the public defender.

" or duke admin,..."

Who had and have nothing to do with the case.

"... or docs or nurses - she had no control over what they did as far as I could see..."

Again, RTF Holesclaw and Welch. Even if there was malpractice, and there is no proof of such, it does not matter. There is no one so blind as the one who will not see, no one so deaf as the one who will not listen, no one so dumb as the one who will not learn.

"- since it was an out-of-control case from the beginning, wouldn't you say?"

Crystal was out of control. No one else.

"Also, do you imply that since she is an indigent defendant that she does not have the same and equal right to protection and due process of law...."

Equal protection and due process do not entitle a defendant to file frivolous motions. Equal protection and due process do not entitle indigent defendants to hire and fire public defenders at will. The equal protection violation here is Crystal's not the judicial system.

"...in the duke/durham judicial system -..."

That is a construct in your mind, not in reality.

"... which would include a lawyer who she could trust to work with to assist her in her own defense, and the right to a speedy trial - right?"

That is exactly what she has received and rejected. She caused the delay, not the state. She fired attorneys who were, by all accounts, giving her sound legal advice. Instead, Crystal chose to listen to Sid and file frivolous motions. One of which sought to misuse the authority regulating insurance to force the DA to dismiss charges. That filing was beyond frivolous. That was vexatious.

Lastly, I think you should remember the excellent advice Lance gave in an earlier post get a copy of Strunk and White's Elements of Style you really would benefit from it.

so you think Ms Mangum deserves all the evil duke can throw at her unless she confesses to NOT being raped? seriously - that is what appears to be happening - duke still throwing all the evil that they can at her - never stopping - even at murder - and even to innocents in order to satisfy their evil duke has to be best in order to amass billions in donations ways against Ms. Mangum (and NC because of their evil corrupt ways)."

You seem to think Crystal should get a pass for falsely accusing innocent men of raping her. Any evil dumped on Crystal s self inflicted.

"you actually think that two DAs being ousted from the durham/duke judicial system for doing what ever they did to whatever people they did it to for whatever reasons the DAs were standing against them and their actions that caused such disrespect of duke/durham/nc judicial system by MOST is simply a contruct of my mind? that really sucks about duke you know - they actually think they can deny the truth - and make every one else seem like they are wrong when they point out truths that duke tries to deny and hide that are harming others. duke insults MOST people's intelligence - i can assure you."

You say you read the news. So read the news on Tracy Cline and corrupt DA NIFONG. They were dismissed because of grossly inadequate performance-unless you do not believe that wrongfully prosecuting innocent men for rape is prosecutorial misconduct.; September 25, 2013 at 6:21 AM

Thus, Crystal's lawyer has only one option and that's to put Crystal on the stand to deny saying it.

Another hobson's choice. Put her on the stand to deny, or not. Either way, the statement comes into evidence. Just how much weight does the jury give it? How much does Meier risk with her on the stand. Sid keeps painting Crystal into corners. She's lucky the bar and the Superior Court upheld the rule of law and didn't let him "represent" her.

Lawyers have to advise their clients about those tough choices. I am willing to venture that some other lawyers have given Crystal some of those choices and she just didn't like them. She got mad. She fired them. Just like our less than illuminating posters. They don't like the law.

Anonymous said...: In the same year that the baby was accidentally burned, the hospital received an international award recognizing its excellence in the care of infants and children with a variety of pediatric diseases. The baby was burned because there was a friction-caused spark between materials that were proximate to a small cloth "hood" that enclosed and contained very rich oxygen the baby needed to breathe. It was a freak accident.
A root cause analysis was done and it was found that static electricity buildup, which not ever have happened, simply hit that oxygen-saturated environment.
I challenge anybody on this ridiculous web site to name one hospital in the United States, or the world, that cares for hundreds of thousands of patients ..just name ONE hospital that has never had an accident like this. I remind all of you that the name one hospital in the US, Johns Hopkins, just this past year year......discovered that one of its physicians was guilty of taking and selling pornographic images of his patients. He killed himself after it was learned he had taken photos of his female patients during pelvic examinations.
I hope anybody with at least one brain cell realizes that accidents do happen, mistakes do get made, malpractice does occur (the Duke case was not malpractice), and bad things happen to patients.

There was no esophageal intubation. Ergo it was not an intervening cause. Even if there had been an esophagel intubation, it would not have relieved Crystal of criminal liability for Reginald Daye's death. As Walt has repeatedly explained, the need for intubation would not have arisen had Crystal not stabbed him.

You are correct that the law recognizes intervening causes. However, you misrepresent the law when you claim that an esophageal intubation was an intervening cause. It is not. No malpractice is an intervening cause. You would have to prove someone performed an esophogeal intubation with the intention to kill Daye to have an intervening cause. That is there has to be a murder committed by someone else completely independent of the crime to have an intervening cause.

"Don't you think it's a coincident that of all the intubations successfully placed in the trachea that the one on Daye just mysteriously happens to wind up in his esophagus?"

No, because I understand statistics. I also understand medical malpractice. It is axiomatic that inexperienced physicians and EMTs can place the tube in the esophagus.

"What would Lieutenant Columbo do?"

Whatever the script writers want him to do. You do know the difference between fact and fiction?

"...my actions provided me with the experiences and interactions that have made me a criminal justice lay advocate beyond compare."

You are singularly inept as a lay advocate. Let's recap. In Crystal's case you filed a writ of mandamus attempting to use the insurance code (Chapter 58 of the N.C. General Statutes) to compel a prosecutor to act. A Chapter of the code which by its very nature and strict terms does not apply to prosecutors. You have advocated filing motions to dismiss which are not allowed by our criminal procedure code. You violated the attorney client confidentiality to disclose to the state that the defense expert agreed with the Medical examiner's conclusions. You were sanctioned by the bar and then enjoined by the Superior court for attempting to practice law, all of which delayed Crystal's case to her detriment. With advocates like you, she doesn't need any enemies.

I understand that the misinterpretation advanced by both Walt and A Lawyer is almost universally accepted in the legal community. The decisions in subsequent criminal cases refer to and incorporate the conclusions reached in State v. Welch and State v. Holsclaw.

As a result, I think it would be helpful if you would restate your analysis of Welch and expand it to include an analysis of Holsclaw as well.

Break the Conspiracy said...: In this post, I consider your argument that Daye died as a result of the decision by his family to take him off life support and that Mangum cannot be held responsible because she had no input into that decision. In the past, I have suggested that you refrain from making this moronic argument. Your repetition of this argument convinces me, one of your most ardent defenders, that you cannot be taken seriously.

To a non-lawyer like myself, Welch appears to be directly on point.

In Welch, the defendant stabbed the victim. The victim and her family refused to permit a blood transfusion. The victim later died, in large part due to the loss of blood. In the Mangum case, the defendant stabbed the victim. After apparently successful initial treatment, the victim suffered a reversal, resulting in brain death. The victim’s family made the decision to end treatment, and the victim died.

The appellate court held: The trial court did not err in denying defendant's motion to dismiss the murder charge based on the theory that the victim's refusal to accept a blood transfusion was an independent and intervening cause of death cutting off defendant's responsibility for the victim's stabbing death because: (1) but for defendant's act of stabbing the victim, she would not have been in need of a blood transfusion; and (2) the doctor could not state with certainty whether the victim would have survived had she received a blood transfusion…

Defendant contends, based on the testimony of Dr. Stanton, that Lemmons' refusal to accept a blood transfusion was an independent and intervening cause of death, such as to cut off any responsibility defendant may have in the victim's death. However, it is clear from the evidence that Lemmons' act in declining a blood transfusion was not “the sole cause of death.” Id. Indeed, all of Lemmons' injuries resulted from the stabbing inflicted by defendant. Thus, but for defendant's act, Lemmons would not have been in need of a blood transfusion.

Let us compare the facts.

In both cases, the defendant stabbed the victim. In both cases, the victim’s family refused medical treatment. In Welch, the treatment refused was a blood transfusion, viewed by most as standard. In the Mangum case, the treatment refused was life support of a patient who was diagnosed as being brain dead, viewed by many as extraordinary. In both cases, the attending physicians could not state with certainty whether the victim would have survived (or, in Daye’s case, would have recovered brain function).

Based on a comparison of the facts, I believe it is unambiguous that Welch provides clear guidance to Mangum’s case: the family’s decision to take Daye off life support is not an independent and intervening cause of death. As such, this decision does not relive Mangum of responsibility.

I recognize that this analysis does not address the question of whether Daye’s death was the result of an independent and intervening cause of death that occurred prior to the decision to take him off life support. I will review your allegation of an esophageal intubation in a subsequent post.

Hey, Break.

Let there be no doubt that I appreciate your support, however, I believe my point, though slightly different that what you stated, is valid.

First, although removal from life support was the proximal cause of Daye's death, it was the esophageal intubation that led to the brain death which was the reason for his elective removal from life support. Had not Daye been intubated in the esophagus (fatal malpractice), he would not have wound up brain dead. The brain death is the issue, not removal from life support.

Furthermore, the intubation was not even necessitated by the stab or surgery, but by delirium tremens.

Also, In Welch, the judge states that the defendant's stabbing resulted in the requirement for a transfusion... (that's a limited statement... in other words the judge did not state "your stabbing resulted in his hospitalization.")

Mangum's stabbing of Daye was adequately treated with emergency surgery. Daye would have survived his stab wound had not the intervening esophageal intubation (for a non-stab wound reason) resulted in his brain death.; September 26, 2013 at 1:37 PM

Someone would deliberately intubate Daye's esophagus in order to effect his death.

If convicted, she would then be sentenced to life in prison... Payback that might be enough to satiate some proponents of the Duke Lacrosse defendants.

"Had not Daye been intubated in the esophagus (fatal malpractice), he would not have wound up brain dead. The brain death is the issue, not removal from life support."

Esophageal intubation, had it happened, would not have necessarily beb mal practice. One would not expect, however, an inadequately trained incompetent physician to know this. However the intubation was necessitated by a complication of the medical treatment caused by the stab wound.

"Furthermore, the intubation was not even necessitated by the stab or surgery, but by delirium tremens."

Fact is that drug dealer Tyrone Baker publicly announced his intentions to kill those responsible for stealing $40,000 from his apartment.

Carter was minding his own business when Baker, after sucker punching one of Carter's burglary accomplices, turned to him with a coat draped over his gun hand.

Carter had reason to believe that the coat concealed a firearm and that Baker was going to use it on him to carry out his threat.

Hey, Break.

I know we disagree on the removal from life support issue, but I believe that there is legal justification for using it.

For example, in the Joshua Wrenn case (an inmate beaten into unconsciousness by correction officers and presumed to be brain dead), his attorneys told Joshua's family not to remove him from life support or otherwise it would jeopardize their future claims of wrongful death against the State.

That is why I give attention to life support. Wrenn eventually regained consciousness several months later although doctors said that he would never awake from his comatose state. Remote as the possibility is/was, there is the slimmest of possibilities that Daye may have regained consciousness after many months on life support. Maybe not likely, but possible.; September 26, 2013 at 2:04 PM

"Fact is that drug dealer Tyrone Baker publicly announced his intentions to kill those responsible for stealing $40,000 from his apartment."

And Shan's fellow drug dealer Tyrone Baker would never have announced that had Drug dealer Shan Carter not robbed his apartment. Drug dealer Shan Carter provoked the confrontation,

"Carter was minding his own business when Baker, after sucker punching one of Carter's burglary accomplices, turned to him with a coat draped over his gun hand."

Shan Carter was dealing illegal drugs. What legal theoty defines that as minding your own busiess. Had Shan Carter been minding his own business he never would have robbed Tyrone Baker.

"Carter had reason to believe that the coat concealed a firearm and that Baker was going to use it on him to carry out his threat."

It does not change the fact that Shan Carter himself provoked thr threat.

"Are you telling me that Carter should not pull his gun and defend himself because he is a felon and it is against the law for him to have possession of a gun?"

I am telling ypu much more than that. Shan Carter should not have robbed Tyrone Baker. Shan Carter should not have been on the street dealing illegal drugs. As a convicted felon, Shan Carter was committing a felony possessing a firearm. He would have had no need to defend himself had he not first robbed Tyrone Baker.

"What would you do if you were in Carter's shoes... just stand there and do nothing while Baker blows out your brains?"

If I had been in Carter's shoes, I would not have robbed Tyrone Baker, I would not have been dealing illegal drugs, I would have done nothing to provoke a conflict.

"Carter's self-defense was far more justified than the phony one given by vigilante George Zimmerman."

The fact that Carter provoked the confrontation in and of itself means he could not plead self defense for killing Tyrone Baker. Check out self defense law.

George Zimmerman was acting in self defense. He was investigating a suspicious situation when he was attacked and subjected to deadly force. Or are you, the untrained incompetent former physician going to claim that banging another man's head against a concrete surface is not potentially lethal.

The photos of George Zimmerman post confrontation show real injuries, not alleged injuries.

Of course one can not expect an untrained incompetent physician to recognize that.; September 26, 2013 at 2:12 PM
Break the Conspiracy said...: In this post, I consider whether Mangum can escape criminal responsibility if Daye’s brain death resulted from an esophageal intubation. For the purposes of this post, I will assume that your allegation is accurate and discuss the legal implications of that treatment.

Holsclaw considers death resulting from improper medical treatment.

In Holsclaw, the defendant shot the victim in the chest. The victim suffered from a preexisting lung condition, which condition contributed to his death. In treating a partially collapsed lung and the resulting infection, doctors treated the victim with an antibiotic to which the victim was allergic. The antibiotic treatment caused an inflammation of the heart, which was the immediate cause of death.

Holsclaw concluded that medical malpractice is not an independent and intervening cause of death unless it is the sole cause of death:

If it be conceded arguendo that the victim's death immediately resulted from improper or unskilled treatment by attending physicians, that is no defense to a charge of homicide against one who has inflicted a dangerous wound which necessitated the treatment. Neither negligent treatment nor neglect of an injury will excuse a wrongdoer unless the treatment or neglect was the sole cause of death… Where, as here, gunshot wounds inflicted by the accused are a contributing cause of death, defendant is criminally responsible therefor…

It necessarily follows that the evidence was sufficient to carry to the jury the question whether the shotgun wounds inflicted upon the deceased by the defendant were the proximate cause of death.

For this reason, I believe that Holsclaw provides unambiguous guidance to Mangum’s case: an esophageal intubation as a result of malpractice is not an independent and intervening cause of death. As such, malpractice does not relive Mangum of responsibility.

I recognize that this analysis does not address the question of whether Daye’s death was the result of an independent and intervening cause of death that occurred prior to the decision to intubate him.

For this reason, in an effort to help you build a case, I previously encouraged you to focus your attention on why an intubation was necessary.

I noted that you suggested treatment for delirium tremens as the explanation for the intubation, but that you provided insufficient evidence to support that explanation. I noted further my understanding that an infection can contribute to delirium tremens, and that an infection resulting from the stab wound would not allow Mangum to escape responsibility for the subsequent treatment and death. However, if the stab wound did not contribute to condition of delirium tremens, one could conclude that the condition meets the requirements as an independent and intervening cause and absolve Mangum from responsibility.

As a result, I asked that you provide specific evidence to support the suggestion that Daye was treated for delirium tremens and that condition was not a complication from the stab wound.

You inexplicably ignored this suggestion, apparently preferring to repeat failed arguments contradicted by the case law cited by Walt, Lance and A Lawyer. Although you again make this suggestion, you again provide no evidence to support it.

Sidney, I remind you that I am one of your few supporters. I hope you realize that you lose credibility when you make and repeat arguments that are directly contradicted by case law cited by your readers. As you know, most readers believe that you are either unbelievably stupid or incredibly dishonest. Arguments like this reinforce that belief.; September 26, 2013 at 2:12 PM

"Hey, Break.

I know we disagree on the removal from life support issue, but I believe that there is legal justification for using it."

Coming from someone with your level of legal and medical incompetence, that statement is meaningless.

"For example, in the Joshua Wrenn case (an inmate beaten into unconsciousness by correction officers and presumed to be brain dead), his attorneys told Joshua's family not to remove him from life support or otherwise it would jeopardize their future claims of wrongful death against the State.

That is irrelevant unless you can demonstrate that Reginald Daye would have recovered. Yes there might have been a chance he would have recovered. What you ignore is that the chance he WOULD NOT have recovered were infinitely greater.; September 26, 2013 at 2:17 PM
Break the Conspiracy said...: Sidney makes the following allegation of muder:

Someone would deliberately intubate Daye's esophagus in order to effect his death.  

Then Daye's death would be attributed to Mangum and she would be charged with first degree murder. 

 If convicted, she would then be sentenced to life in prison... Payback that might be enough to satiate some proponents of the Duke Lacrosse defendants.  

That, in a nutshell is why Daye was intubated in the esophagus.

I agree that medical murder clearly meets the requirements as an independent and intervening cause. You periodically make this allegation, but provide no evidence to support it. You limit your argument to a failure to investigate this possibility (without explaining why an investigation was merited) and vague insinuations that Mangum’s “role” in the lacrosse case have resulted in a widespread conspiracy to send her to prison.

Indeed, most of your posts have focused on malpractice, not murder, as the explanation for an esophageal intubation.

While Mangum is certainly free to raise this explanation as a possibility, I would not recommend that she concentrate her defense on this argument. I would not want to bet my life on a jury accepting this explanation as credible unless I had much more than a vague insinuation of a widespread conspiracy.

Sidney, I remind you that I am one of your few supporters. I hope you realize that you lose credibility when you make and repeat arguments that have no evidence to support them. As you know, most readers believe that you are either unbelievably stupid or incredibly dishonest. Arguments like this reinforce that belief.; September 26, 2013 at 2:17 PM

"At the time of the emergency surgery, the medical staff may not have even known about Mangum's involvement with the wound.

The decision to esophageally intubate Daye probably took some planning beforehand."

That Crystal stabbed Reginald Daye was known right after the stabbing. If someone wanted to frame Crystal for the murder of Daye as retaliation for her role in the Lacrosse case(which was to lie about being raped), it would have been easier to do it at or shortly after surgery.

Of course, it would be unsurprising that an untrained, incompetent physician would not see that.; September 26, 2013 at 2:29 PM

That would be probable cause if you could demonstrate there was a conspiracy against Crystal. How have you established that as fact?; September 26, 2013 at 2:32 PM
