"I also think that if this is duke's policy to kill one to frame another - that ALL judicial cases involving duke would have to be tried in a different state - given the undue burden of threat to life and limb of any who crosses duke or crosses the path in accidental mishap of any who has crossed duke in anyway deeming them deserving of duke framing actions - because all who drive in any way in NC are under the same threat of duke's revenge and fear mongering hatred (and they hate to lose - and they hate many).

This is too important not to be investigated and properly dealt with because of this fact of life and duke in NC.

There are a lot more people at risk from duke's nefarious actions than from Ms. Mangums i assure you."

I sy again, the fallacy here is you presume you can think. Fabricating allegations you will not prove is not thinking.

"perhaps it should bother everyone that duke makes people dislike them because they hate and harm the people first - and that they will kill some to frame others whom they hate - and apparently they hate many - so - many could be killed in order to frame many others by duke if that is their way of doing 'things'"

More uncorroborated allegations from the fabricator.

that's ok - don't believe me - and stay out of nc since you obviously know nothing about it and think those talking about what they see on a daily basis in the news and community are simply uncorraborated fabricators - would hate for you to get a rude nonawakening if'n a deer suddenly attacked you from the side of the road and someone behind you who duke hated and wanted to frame accidently smashed into you because of it and you ended up in their hosp. - just to play it safe and all - for the poor deer too of course

So concise that it failed to mention the aspiration of stomach contents brought about by emesis caused by the naso-gastric introduction of contrast media. Most likely the real underlying cause of Reginald Daye's untimely death was chronic alcoholism. At Duke Hospital no post-surgical infection was ever identified and the imaging of the chest showed only some post-surgical atelectasis and small pleural effusions common after abdominal surgery and also an abdominal ileus also a common and expected post abdominal surgery finding. These are unrelated to a post surgical infection. Mild fever is a common finding in delirium tremens.

The context n which Dr. Nichols made the statement did not call for more than a concise statement. You seem to think someone like Dr. Nichols is obliged to jump wheneve you say frog. He isn't.

"Most likely the real underlying cause of Reginald Daye's untimely death was chronic alcoholism."

There was o history of chronic alcoholism, just like there was no anonymous Lacrosse layer who witnessed a rape at the Lacrosse party.

"At Duke Hospital no post-surgical infection was ever identified and the imaging of the chest showed only some post-surgical atelectasis and small pleural effusions common after abdominal surgery and also an abdominal ileus also a common and expected post abdominal surgery finding. These are unrelated to a post surgical infection."

You again show your utter ignorance of medical matters. Those findings are consistent with a post surgical infection. Infection is a recognized risk of colon surgery, especially emergency colon surgery.

"Mild fever is a common finding in delirium tremens."

In a post operative situation it is more likely to be associated with infection.

Tell us how many post op surgical patients have you cared for in your life. Where did you get all this expertise with which you credit yourself?

If duke basically assaulted Mr. Daye with the tube they left in his throat for too long because of whatever medical condition they deemed they needed to do tests for at the moment without actual regard to the well-known potential negative life threatening consequences of those test actions which caused Mr. Daye to become more ill and life distressed - and therefore require treatment that consequently led to his untimely demise by having a tube obstructing his ability to breath for too long to allow sufficient oxygen to reach Mr. Daye's brain therefore causing brain death which led to removal of life support which led to ultimate death - they are potentially not only civilly in the sense of medical malpractice but also criminally in the terms of murder - liable for Mr. Daye's actual death. Why aren't doctors held criminally as well as civilly responsible for the death of their patients more often under this law for their over and/or erroneous and faulty medical practices that cause death, like in Mr. Daye's case, where actual assault to a vital aspect of life functioning is committed by the medical persons in the name of 'health treatment' or 'health testing'?

Regarding the death of any patient, intent is important to distinguish between homicide and malpractice. An esophageal intubation, especially by someone experienced enough to give a paralytic agent is, I would say, extremely rare, and to not correct it in a timely manner when an EtCO2 monitor suggests misplacement, is unheard of. It's possible Daye's death may have been accidental, but it is probable that it could be intentional for all of the reasons alluded to in the flog.

"Gossip: reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true."

So far, none of what John Tucker has reported can be considered "gossip". I can see why you haven't filed a lawsuit...And it has nothing to do with "liking the guy".


You see, you've been misled by much of the gossip in the article to believe that I file civil suits at the drop of a hat. Well, I don't. I have to really be aggrieved to file a lawsuit... which is a lot of work and not a lot of fun.

If you met John Tucker, I bet you would find him to be an extremely likeable fellow.

Sounds like a lame attempt on your part to avoid denying what Mr.Tucker wrote, which in turn is something of an admission that what he wrote was not a hatchet job.

If you have not heard of it is probably not remarkable. Considering you lack of training and your lack of experience in the practice of any specialty in medicine, there is an awful lot you have not heard of. The laryngoscopy showed the tube was not misplaced. The tube, according to the documents you illegally posted say the tube was replaced.

"It's possible Daye's death may have been accidental, but it is probable that it could be intentional for all of the reasons alluded to in the flog."

Considering all the uncorroborated, uninformed allegations you have made in this flog, it is absolutely impossible that Reginald Daye's death was due to any intentional act by Duke.

?? Not the way it works, Sid. As a journalist, Mr. Tucker would have done his homework (so to speak), and wouldn't have written anything that would have left himself or Indy Week open to claims of libel.

Now you've come forward and stated that Mr. Tucker has not done his homework, and has instead engaged in "malicious gossip".

You made the claim that what was reported was gossip. Show your work.

"The statement was also made in the "Report of Autopsy Examination" dated april 14 2011. It was not released until july 29 2011.Crystal was charged with felony murder on april 18, 2011"

What Doctor Nichols said in the autopsy report is that his opinion is that Reginald Daye died as a result of complications of a stab wound. He documented his findings in the report. The quote, ""he was stabbed he died" is not part of the autopsy report.

The conclusion, that Reginald Daye died of something other than complications of the stab wound is SIDNEY's conclusion. Explain why Dr. Nichols should have included SIDNEY's conclusion in his autopsy report, especially since SIDNEY is minimally trained and minimally experienced in the practice of anything medical.

Dr. Nicholls exact quote to the N & O was in an interview by Virginia Bridges said " He was stabbed, he was treated and as a direct result of the stab wound he died". The Autopsy report, he filed said: "After review of the historic and autopsy findings contained herein, it is my opinion that the deceased, Reginald Daye, died as the result of complications of a stab wound to his chest.

Regardless, SIDNEY thinks Dr. Nichols, who is much more experienced and much more highly trained should have included SIDNEY's conclusions in the autopsy. Why should he. That is like expecting the commander of the Atlantic Fleet to base his operations on the advice of someone who skippers an 18 foot rowboat.

Whether or not you realized, the progression you listed in your previous screeds as the cause of death were a series of complications of the stab wound.

The Rectumfinder said...

Crystal Mangum was raped by Sidney Harr and Ken Hydral. They were in whiteface and wearing Duke Lacrosse uniforms in order to frame the LAX team.

Anonymous said...

The Rectumfinder:

Your theory that Sidney snuck into Duke University Medical Center and murdered Daye has not received enough consideration.

Another poster raised this possibility earlier, noting that (1) Sidney threatened that Duke would bear the consequences for having treated him so shamefully and (2) he worked as a physician for ten years and would know how to kill Daye by moving the tube.

This is as extensive as the evidence supporting the existence of the Carpetbagger Jihad.

This theory explains Sidney's confidence in concluding that Daye died of an esophageal intubation. Duke did not understand how the "mistake" occurred, but worked with Nichols to cover it up.

Originally, Sidney believed that medical malpractice would be sufficient to relieve Mangum of responsibility. This explains his inability to accept the significance of the Welch decision and his focus on a mistake by Duke. He believed that prosectors would simply dismiss all charges.

This flog represents a dramatic change in Sidney's strategy, but carries with it significant risk that his role in Daye's death will be discovered. Nevertheless, he finally has realized that Mangum could be convicted for a murder he committed, forcing the change in his strategy. This flog's greatest weakness was its entirely inadequate discussion of motive. Mangum's "role in the Duke Lacrosse case" scarcely provides the Carpetbagger Jihad with a motive for murder.

I agree with you, The Rectumfinder, this theory certainly merits additional discussion.

The Rectumfinder said...

Anon @ 6:20,
Thank you for your support.
I plan to sue Sidney Harr and the State of North Carolina to compel them to appoint me as Special Persecutor to investigate Sidney's role in Daye's murder and Crystal's rape. I will demand a court order for Sidney to give sample of DNA to compare against the tube used to kill Daye and against Crystal's rape kit.
The court should appoint me to this role because I am an acrobat... and rectumfinder!

Anonymous said: "Whether or not you realized, the progression you listed in your previous screeds as the cause of death were a series of complications of the stab wound".........No they were not. In the law intervening circumstances can, maybe, be ignored but in medicine the underlying cause of Daye's death was alcohol withdrawal syndrome and it's improper treatment. He could have met the same fate if he tripped and broke his ankle. The stab wound was not related to his brain death.

They should have just let him go home like he probably was getting agitated about cuz they wouldn't - and they were trying to get him to do more tests he didn't want or thought he needed. He could have drank, alchol sterilized his innards to cleanse it of any infection, breathed much easier with a 12 pack and his easy chair - and hey - we wouldn't be hear bout him being murdered by duke now (or Ms. Mangum).

No it wasn't.

If he had tripped and broken his ankle, the only difference is it would not have been a complication of a stab wound inflicted by his violent girl friend.

Dr. Harr,

Did you ever find statistics of the rate of death from events similar to what happened to Mr. Daye? How many times does that procedure normally end in brain death and ultimate death, do you know? Do the statistics vary from hospital to hospital in NC?

Do you think, Dr. Harr, if Mr. Daye had been provided medical services by others without a thing against Mr. Mangum, or people other than affiliated with duke, that he would have survived the knife attack (taking into account the possibility of dt's or infections)?

First, you presume SIDNEY can think. He has demonstrated on manyoccasions he can not.

Second, Reginald Daye was treated at a hospital which had no vendetta against Crystal.

Third, SIDNEY does have a vendetta against Duke because Duke beat his frivolous, non meritorious lawsuit.

That misrepresents the law and proximate cause. Proximate cause - had the late Reginald Daye not been stabbed, he would not have been subject to hospital withdrawl. Assuming Kenny is right and that is a rather large assumption that is not supported by expert testimony or any evidence. Further, the law in the United States is clear, you take your victim the way you find them. W. LaFave & A. Scott, Handbook on Criminal Law § 35 (1972).

It's fine if you don't understand the law, but don't spout off misinformation.

If he had not been in duke hosp., a more proximate cause to his actual death and reason for actual factual death - the probabilty that he would not have died from duke's malpractice bringing into question duke's animosity towards Ms. Mangum once again; their known ability to harm others; their known predudice against blacks, women, mental health patients, etc.; their penchant for fighting with others in and on the courts; and their love of winning at all costs; all combined with their inability to ethically administer themselves; etc. that also brings into question the criminality of their treatment of Mr. Daye and his actual cause of death - then that statement you made might actually be relevant to this case Walt.

I didn't know that Duke had animosity against Mangum. During the rape case, Duke faculty and students treated her as a paragon of virtue. Are you sure this animosity exists?

What animosity? The pot-bangers and the Group of 88 certainly love her.

their known ability to harm others;


Can you give an example?

their known predudice[sic] against blacks, women, mental health patients, etc.;


Can you give some examples?

their penchant for fighting with others in and on the courts;

Dr. Harr,

Did you ever find statistics of the rate of death from events similar to what happened to Mr. Daye? How many times does that procedure normally end in brain death and ultimate death, do you know? Do the statistics vary from hospital to hospital in NC?

Do you think, Dr. Harr, if Mr. Daye had been provided medical services by others without a thing against Mr. Mangum, or people other than affiliated with duke, that he would have survived the knife attack (taking into account the possibility of dt's or infections)?


Had Mr. Daye's situation been equal with the exception of him being stabbed by Mangum, Daye would be alive today. I believe he was sacrificed in order to get a serious charge against Mangum.

Also, if Daye had been taken to a hospital other than Duke, I believe that he most likely would be alive, too. I think it was easier to approach hospital staff at Duke with the proposition rather than at a non-Duke hospital.

They should have just let him go home like he probably was getting agitated about cuz they wouldn't - and they were trying to get him to do more tests he didn't want or thought he needed. He could have drank, alchol sterilized his innards to cleanse it of any infection, breathed much easier with a 12 pack and his easy chair - and hey - we wouldn't be hear bout him being murdered by duke now (or Ms. Mangum).


Although I don't concur with your reasoning, you are probably correct, because had he been released, he would not have been intubated... the fatal incident. At home, like you said, he could've brought his dt's under control with some alcohol. However, that is not the best medical course to take.

It wasn't a necessary test at the time, and if that test was actually needed at that time and had the well known expectation of vomiting and risk of asphixiation, then the professionals needed for the intubation process required in the event of vomiting during the test given should have been there fully ready, prepared, and able to do their job successfully without committing brain death in the process.

How is that done in a hospital legally without causing too much fuss or turmoil - just tubes and needles out and on your way (to a different doctor, etc. or whatever).

Your comments below indicate that either you don't, or you are misrepresenting the law.

That formulation is abundantly clear. You have consistently maintained that Crystal is above the law.

"There is no expert testimony about Daye's brain death. Dr. Nicholls failed to address any factor other then the stab wound that should have been non-fatal."

State v. Atkinson, 298 N.C. 673 at 682, ___ SE2d ___ at ___, State v. Luther' 285 N.C. 570, 206 S.E.2d 238, (1974); State v. Knight, 247 N.C. 754, 102 S.E. 2d 259 (1958) deal with the issue of a pre-existing condition.

"Just because it was the stab wound that brought Daye to Duke Hospital doesn't mean that the Welsh ruling applies in this case."

Except it does as does Atkinson above.

" At the time, it was diagnosed as delirium tremens with a post-surgical infection as a possible differential diagnosis."

Pre-existing condition is not an intervening cause. See above.

"None of this was addressed in the Nicholls autopsy."

Your speculations do not rise to the level of issues that the State needs to address. Further, because of Sid's sabotage of the defense, we know she has no way to raise the issue either. Her expert agrees with the state.

You really did sleep through your civics class.

"Is there such a law that gives citizens of the USA the absolute right to make their own health treatment decisions, and like - demand to have all tubes and such taken out and be discharged asap?"

In a democracy there are no absolute rights. Your right to make health care choices is always limited as is your right to make contracts, or to drive an automobile. Democracies are always about balancing rights and responsibilities.

Can a patient decline medical treatment? Yes. But, that decision has to be made by someone who is competent to make it. In Daye's case, he level of consciousness varied from time to time. Thus his right to make medical decisions varied from time to time. At times when he was unconscious or of limited consciousness, his next of kin would be charged with making health care decisions on his behalf. If he had a living will or health care power of attorney on file with the medical providers (in this case Duke) his next of kin's powers could have been restricted. The exercise of those rights and powers do not excuse criminal liability though, Welch.

WHEN exactly was he intubated and why? That is confusing from reading the report compared to the summary shown in your flog.


Daye was first given a contrast agent through a naso-gastric tube with the contrast ending up in his stomach. The contrast agent has an emetic side effect, and after it was administered, Daye vomited.

After Daye vomited, the medical staff decided to intubate Daye, in order to prevent further emesis and risk of aspiration, and to be able to administer high concentrations of oxygen.

The problem occurred when Daye was then intubated in the esophagus instead of the trachea... which led to his brain death when the errant tube placement was not recognized and corrected.

As the brain lacked oxygen and Daye became brain dead, the heart went into cardiac arrest. This is when chest compressions and CPR was instituted and the intitial tube was remove and Daye was intubated a second time... this time correctly in the airway.

The hospital summary tries to confuse the reader by falsely stating that the first intubation came after the cardiac arrest and was part of CPR. They then account for the second intubation by saying that it was electively done later because the oxygen blood level was low (doesn't make sense).

There never was any motive for Duke to murder Reginald Daye. There was no vendetta against Crystal. The carpetbagger jihad does not exist.

You do not know what acceptable standards are. You have repeatedly demonstrated via your uncorroborated allegations against Duke.

When have you ever provided elucidation? Never.

Why don't you explain why you never did a residency. Probably because no residency program would accept you. You never learned what acceptable standards of care were, yet you accuse Duke of wilfully wiythholding acceptable care.

Sabotage is more like it. You breached the attorney client privilege by publishing the defense expert's opinion. That opinion ends all hopes the defense had on the intervening cause issue. Even though that was tenuous at best, you removed all doubt when you did not have to. The rules which make privileged those communications between attorney and client are there to protect the defense from unwarranted disclosure. By willfully violating that privilege and publishing the privileged information you sabotaged Crystal's defense.

With friends like you, Crystal does not need any enemies.

The dead-body posting Harr now wants to put his pig, Eric Leak, in a prom dress. Truth is that Leak has gotten caught, repeatedly, violating rules that are not just NCAA-imposed, but also arise from the university's own policies. But, again, hey……more of the same racist bullcrap from the man who thinks its OK to violate the ultimate privacy of a dead man and his family. Why wouldn't a truly bastard like Harr see nothing wrong with unethical individuals like Leak and his wife? Birds of a feather, folks……
Of course, we have yet another example of how harr views the world……if you are black, you are a victim of the evil white oppressor, and you should get a pass for everything you wish and elect to do. Commit a crime? No problem, white man made me do it. Lie, steal, rape, murder, it does not matter. You are black……hooray……it is never your fault. It's that evil white man's law that does not apply to you. That's the basic pond scum intelligence of individuals like harr.
Kill a little boy? Not your fault? Shoot Eve Carson five times at close range while she is asking you to pray with her? Of course, you're black, you get a pass. KIll a Duke student by shooting him point blank between his eyes while you hold a pillow over his face? Free pass, you're black! Rack of nine convictions, lie your ass off, kill a man? No problem…….you're black!
That's harr's way of thinking………professional victimhood. And, of course, it is the way HE has lived HIS life. It's the white man's fault. Always……. What a racist and truly wretched way to live…...

Interesting point, Walt…..you think the state will be allowed to bring in character, based on Mangum's prior "crimes"? The exception…… Can they get in her history of deceit in the LAX case? (not a crime as such to lie…..????) But how about her convictions in the Walker case? Threats of violence, using a knife, in the presence of an officer?
I understand how her attorney might try to keep out the LAX case; just wondering what you think, and how the state might get in "character"……..?

Anonymous said...

KC Johnson is not a fan of Duke. Know what, troll, that's almost correct. Johnson has consistently and publicly expressed his dislike for the way certain members of the Board and the Administration ran roughshod over the rights of the LAX guys, the way they assumed guilt, they way they imlicitedly endorsed the potbanging asshat group of 88, the way they refused to treat the LAX guys honorably.... yep, Johnson has condemned this behavior by certain individuals at duke for years! It was not until the TRUTH came out that Brodhead got on the bandwagon and tried to cover up his reprehensible treatment of the LAX guys and their families.

The trial for Mangum is scheduled the 12th, right? I guess that means the actual session could be any day that week?? Or, postponed yet again? Now the judge has to wade through the pile of defense motions. Good strategy by Mangum's lawyer, I suppose...to do all he can to stall as long as he can. My understanding of the law is an inch deep and a mile wide, so not sure.....but I think "character" can't be brought in except when it relates to past criminal acts by the defendant, or, maybe if the defense is trying to destroy Daye's character, somehow the state could get in Mangum's??? Walt???

Hey, Walt.

What sport agent? Eric Leak is not a sport agent. The media refers to him as a "booster" which is supposed to mislead people into believing that he is a sport agent.

As far as "impermissible benefits" go, I against any law or rule that discourages one person from helping out another human being in need. I don't think the Man from Nazareth would approve of the NCAA impermissible benefits rule.

Walt said...

Anon at 6:18 and Anon at 6:21 both brought up the character issue and Evidence Rule 404 with regard to Crystal's trial.

Some general comments. Character is not admissible to prove conduct. Evid.R. 404(a). However, the accused (Crystal) could attempt to introduce evidence of her good character under 404(a)(1). That would open the door to the state introducing the opposite. Given Crystal's record of anger management issues, she probably will not want to open the door under 404(a)(1).

If Crystal takes the stand to testify, especially about self-defense, the state could come in with character evidence under rule 404(a)(3) to show her general reputation for untruthfulness. That is all but a given with her record of multiple contradictory stories in the lacrosse fiasco. Now, her each and every story doesn't come into evidence, but the state could call a witness to testify as to her "general reputation for truthfulness." The specific instances of untruthfulness can come in on cross examination. Evid.R. 405(b). The use of character evidence changed with the adoption of the rules of evidence.

Sabotage is more like it. You breached the attorney client privilege by publishing the defense expert's opinion. That opinion ends all hopes the defense had on the intervening cause issue. Even though that was tenuous at best, you removed all doubt when you did not have to. The rules which make privileged those communications between attorney and client are there to protect the defense from unwarranted disclosure. By willfully violating that privilege and publishing the privileged information you sabotaged Crystal's defense.

With friends like you, Crystal does not need any enemies.


Walt, I do not know what Dr. Roberts' opinion is because what I heard I got secondhand from Crystal. Dr. Roberts put nothing in writing, and I believe if she allegedly told Mangum that the autopsy report was accurate, she did so to mislead Mangum.

Nope, troll, nobody said Johnson loves Duke. It's just that most of us have enough brains to know that Duke is not some single-celled monolith. Johnson has, in the past, made highly complimentary statements about specific individuals, etc, within the overall Duke organization. Saying you love or hate Duke is stupid and ignorant. Duke encompasses multiple hospitals, a faculty in excess of 800, multiple academic colleges, a total workforce in excess of 14,000 people, and thousands of acres, buildings, etc. I doubt anybody with a brain would, with a straight face, say they love or hate ALL of Duke. Johnson, to his credit, never has either blanket condemned nor whitewashed Duke. He has identified those individuals, acts, and reactions that he believes violated the LAX guys' rights and betrayed trust. He has also, troll, publicly praised those who stood up to Brodhead, and who refused to go along with the 88 idiots.
Oh, and by the way, troll, I don't see KC Johnson posting photos of a dead man. Do you,troll?

"This is not my field of expertise, but it is my understanding that all sports agents must be registered with the state."

There are exceptions to the registration requirement, unfortunately the only penalty for failure to register is voiding contracts. The problem for Leak is if any of his contracts violate the substantive portions of the law that apply regardless of registration. Leak, by his own admission, is acting as an agent by representing athletes for memorabilia shows and autograph signing. Further, the University and the NCAA have already found he is in violation of NCAA regulation and NCSU rules for providing impermissible benefits.

In a letter to The Duke Chronicle Dated Oct. 6 2007 Duke Law Professor James Coleman and Prodessor Prasad Khasibatla wrote: "We are impressed with President Richard Brodhead’s continued attempts to reach out to all members of the Duke community to promote healing and reconciliation in the wake of last year’s lacrosse incident, as evidence by his recent remarks at the Duke School of Law. We are disheartened, however, by the continued drumbeat of destructive criticism of the administration and faculty by some within and outside the Duke Community. More importantly, as chairs of two of the five committees that examined various issues brought to light by the lacrosse incident last spring, we take issue with the biased and inaccurate rhetoric espoused by some of these critics. Firstly, we reject the characterization put forward by critics like Stuart Taylor and KC Johnson that the Lacrosse Committee report, that examined the past behavior of the lacrosse team, is a “stunning vindication” of the team (Washington Post, September 7, 2007). On the contrary, the report very carefully details a pattern of behavior that the committee characterized as “socially irresponsible” that should “have been a cause for alarm.” Dismissing this finding as trivial is a biased and unjustified misrepresentation of the facts. Secondly, there is a recurring theme advanced by critics like Taylor and Johnson that the faculty at Duke and at other universities are increasingly a bunch of ideologues who care less about the their students and more about promoting their own extremist agendas. Nothing could be further from the truth. Faculty at Duke, as at other universities and colleges, care deeply about students and are passionately committed to their personal and intellectual growth. Anyone who has the slightest knowledge of the daily life of a faculty member will quickly appreciate the time, effort and energy that faculty put into teaching, advising and mentoring students. To suggest otherwise, on the basis of isolated and selective incidents that occur over the course of complex events and are taken out of context, is nothing more than a tragic rush to judgment.

–James Coleman, Professor of the Practice of Law, Duke School of Law and Prasad Khasibatla, Associate Professor, Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences

Troll knows how to use the copy and paste function. Nice. Most of us have read the Coleman comments from 2007……..
Coleman has his perspective on Johnson….from 2007 and now……..and that's cool.
I'd suggest that comparing the scholarship and integrity of KC Johnson to that of Sidney Harr is a bit like comparing Olympic athletes to Saturday night television "wrastlin'".
By the way, Coleman has never endorsed the scummy behavior of the faculty who participated in the pot banging incident, nor has he ever condoned Broadhead's treatment of the LAX guys and their families. In fact, I would say that Coleman, though reactive to Johnson's sharp criticism of the gender-class-race crowd (particularly the notorious Lubiano), has been just as critically outspoken about the shameful behavior of some of the very same administrators and board members who Johnson has consistently targeted.

Wheeeeee……..I can hit the copy button, tooooo!!!!

….from Kurt Anderson, NY mag……"Thus the enthralling power of the Duke lacrosse-team story when it broke last spring. As a senior Times alumnus recently e-mailed me, “You couldn’t invent a story so precisely tuned to the outrage frequency of the modern, metropolitan, bien pensant journalist.” That is: successful white men at the Harvard of the South versus a poor single mother enrolled at a local black college, jerky superstar jocks versus $400 out-call strippers, a boozy Animal House party, shouts of “nigger,” and a three-orifice gangbang rape in a bathroom.

The story appalled us good-hearted liberal metropolitans, but absolutely galvanized the loopy left at Duke. One associate professor, Wahneema Lubiano, could barely disguise her glee. “The members of the team,” she wrote in a blog, “are almost perfect offenders” because they’re “the exemplars of the upper end of the class hierarchy … and the dominant social group on campus.”

..Only one tiny little problem with Wahneeeeeema's orgasmic anticipation of lynching the LAX guys……darn it, the poor single mother enrolled in the local black college was a LIAR".

With a dozen motions set for hearing today, don't be surprised if there is yet another continuance. However, these are the typical pre-trial motions. Crystal's main issue is to keep the fiasco out so she can testify about self-defense. If she loses that motion, the case is over for her. If she wins, she will have to be very careful how she testifies. She can still open the door to reputation evidence (see my comment above about how rule 405 and 404 work together).

Remember, a motion in limine is just a preliminary ruling. The court can always change its ruling during trial if different evidence emerges. A motion in limine is just to help guide the attorneys, it's not a final ruling.

KENHYDERAL:

First, only a blatant unrepentant racist would call the group of 88 statement an expression of concern for Duke students. The only concern these people had was whether or not the falsely accused Lacrosse players would be convicted. They wanted them convicted simply because they did not like who the Lacrosse players were. That is bias and prejudice, nothing more.

Second, Professor Coleman did not present any statistical analysis of the figures he reported. Statistical analysis establishes whether or not the figures you observe were due to chance. In research like this(and calling it research is a bit of a stretch) unless one can show the results were not due to random chance, the results are significant of nothing. There are two possibilities. Either Professor Coleman just did not do a statistical analysis, which would be as egregious an error as Julie Manly not doing a wet mount. Or he did an analysis and it failed to show his results were significant.

Third, the group of 88 included Houston Baker who published a racist rant about the Lacrosse team and who called the mother of one of the Lacrosse players(who was trying to be conciliatory) the mother of a farm animal. If someone called Karla Holloway the mother of a farm animal, Houston Baker would have vehemently denounced the individual as racist.

You say black on white racism does not exist. That reminds me of the statement, the devil's greatest triumph is in convincing people he does not exist.

In my opinion, you have sold your soul to one hell of a devil.

She's in a pickle....seemingly...either way. If the LAX mess can come in, then she is gonna have one helluva time getting a jury to believe her self defense claim based on her veracity, alone. With no physical beating, that might be a tough hurdle for her attorney. If the LAX stuff does not come in, AND, she testifies, would the state try to bring in her history of violence (against Walker and his property?). If she does not testify, AND the LAX history is kept out, then I guess her attorney might think he has a shot.
She's a proven liar....multiple lies in the LAX case. If the LAX case does not come in, then I still think the state will find ti fairly easy to introduce "interesting contradictions" around her statements concerning stabbing Daye. I assume her attorney will NOT utter a single word about the silliness of duke being responsible.....right?

Anonymous said...

The Group of 88, in violation of University policy, used University resources to publish a piece of unsubstantiated, undocumented, unsupported rubbish, including CLEARLY accusatory statements directed at the LAX guys. Only an idiot would try to claim those wingnuts didn't target the LAX guys. Further, the "ad" condoned the potbanging crap AND the signs on campus that read "lynch"! Not one of these airheaded cretins had the character and decency to apologize when Mangum was proven to be a stone pole vaulting liar. Nice, really nice! I want to point out that over 700 faculty members did NOT sign the damn ad....and it was mostly signed by the gender-sex-class crowd, including the likes of Chaffe, Lubiano, and Baker.
Johnson rightfully objected to the lynch mentality on the campus AND to the guilty presumption that was the underpinning of Brodhead-Aleva-Steele's behavior. As good old slimy Joe said, "Hey, it aint about the truth"....

Walt, believe me, Dr. Roberts knows not only that Daye died as a result of an esophageal intubation, but she is also aware that the autopsy report by Dr. Nichols is false and fraudulent. I believe that attorneys on both sides, along with the media, will try to keep that hidden from the public.

If I was to handicap the rulings, I think lacrosse stays out unless she opens the door.

"With no physical beating, that might be a tough hurdle for her attorney."

That is the biggest problem for self-defense. It all hinges on her testimony. This time she doesn't have a good witness-cop to tell her version of the story. She's got a cop who will say she lawyered up and all he knows is what the late Reginald Daye told him and that is all backed up by the physical evidence. Opening rounds go to the state.

"If the LAX stuff does not come in, AND, she testifies, would the state try to bring in her history of violence (against Walker and his property?)."

I have not seen the motions, I will, hopefully, later today. Maybe even the judge's rulings. (That's wishful thinking, the Judge will take this all under advisement.) However, I don't think Meier will be so foolish as to let the state have a chance to bring in the Walker case. If he does, Crystal's in trouble.

"If she does not testify, AND the LAX history is kept out, then I guess her attorney might think he has a shot."

That's what's called plea bargining with the jury, which is Meier's best shot. He will argue that she's not a murderer, just a stabber who doesn't deserve life in prison, but a lesser sentence. She didn't mean to kill him, that part was all just a mistake - have mercy on her, please, please, please.

"She's a proven liar....multiple lies in the LAX case. If the LAX case does not come in, then I still think the state will find ti fairly easy to introduce "interesting contradictions" around her statements concerning stabbing Daye."

Rest assured, the state is going to point out her interesting contradictions surrounding the stabbing of Daye. Just because I think the jury will go for misdemeanor manslaughter doesn't mean that will happen. If things go well for the state, and Sid has made sure that at least the intervening cause issue will go very well for the state, they could get a long sentence.

Of course I wouldn't. But, that's not the situation. And, portraying this as some kind of act of charity is not the situation either. Leak didn't go down to the rescue mission to help the homeless. He sought out a future NBA star and befriended him with future gain in mind.

Early word from the court house is the motions are upstairs in Superior Court for hearing on Wednesday.

Walt, thanks for the continued updates. No surprise, but the mainstream media is trying to suppress as much about this case as possible. There was nothing in the News & Observer, and the only TV news station that I am aware of covering Mangum's case is ABC-11.

You do believe that the Man from Nazareth, aka The Way, the TRUTH, and the Life, wpould approve of all the lies and distortions you misrepresent as the truth.


The truth can sometimes be like bad tasting medicine... hard to swallow."

How would you know? You have never really practiced medicine and have never told the truth.
