"I only write about what information is given to me. It is only recently that I was told by Mangum that she had a written document from Dr. Roberts, and I am under the impression that the document was recently produced."

You were writing that you had not talked to Crystal in a long time, and that now she refuses to talk to you.

You are desperately, ineffectively, trying to institute personal posterior camouflage.; November 14, 2013 at 8:55 AM

" Earlier in the day, Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway warned that any expression of emotion from courtroom spectators would not be accepted.

“We’re not going to tolerate any outburst of any kind,” Ridgeway said.

He also warned that any attempt to communicate with a juror would be dealt with to the full extent that the law allows."

You must really have your knickers in a knot over being informed your deluded megalomania is not welcome.

Ho about a screed about how the non existent carpetbagger jihad has co-opted Judge Ridgeway.; November 14, 2013 at 9:11 AM

More to get your knickers in a tighter knot.

Just think.

The Shenanigans of corrupt DA NIFONG, of those mockers of Constitutional rightd=s, the New Black Panther Party, the gang of 88ers, including farm animal Houston Baker have created a court room climate in which you will have no say in Crystal's case.

I bet Crystal is grateful for that.; November 14, 2013 at 9:15 AM

The only thing I know is that recently Mangum told me that she had a written document from Dr. Roberts and that it acknowledged that Daye was intubated in the esophagus. Whether or not she was telling me the truth, I do not know.

I hope that adds clarity to your understanding of the issue."

No, it does not add any clarity. What we need to know from you is what did you know, and when did you know it.

It appears that your pouting was not necessary.

Meier and Mangum informed the judge that they disagreed on strategy. Mangum wants Roberts to provide a written report on her findings. Meier disagrees. The judge ordered Meier to obtain a written report from Roberts as soon as possible. The prosecutor immediately requested a copy.

It appears that you misunderstood what Mangum told you (unless as the naysayers may suggest you and/or Mangum are liars and not to be trusted).

This is exciting. Mangum is taking your advice after all. This is a sign Mangum has invited you to attend the trial. Perhaps you can discuss your conclusions with Nichols after he testifies.

so meier has to get a written report from Roberts. And Roberts says the autopsy is in order. And then…….wheeeeeee….
I am interested to hear the testimony concerning injuries to Mangum…..or lack thereof. And interested to hear more about conflicting testimony that Mangum took cash. Unless Meier thinks a broken down door is enough physical evidence to get self defense…..Mangum is going to have to testify. All the rest of the story is based on her verbal claims. Even the hair pulling , struggling, etc.
The fact that she left the scene and went to her aunt's house, where her child was……claiming she did not know if Daye was dead. (putting her son in danger….), and then laying in the floor, apparently intoxicated and dozing off…..does NOT sound like a woman frantic from being nearly beaten to death and stabbing her attacker. It sounds like a drunk. And why in the bloody hell, if Mangum is such a world class good mother (per Jones) did she go to the place where her child was? By God, if a wild drunken man who I had stabbed, and who I thought might not be dead…..could be coming after me…….the LAST place on the planet I would go…would be to the place where my child was.

Anonymous said...: Can Meier resign in the middle of the trial? Geez, he might as well let Mangum represent herself. She is doing such an excellent job of it.
I particularly like how she waited until she made a couple of calls (one to an officer) and was told to return to the scene and call 911…..before any call to 911 was made. That shows that she was carefully weighing her best options for her own survival and not being concerned over whether Daye was really hurt. And I like how she lay down on the floor, and wanted to rest to regain her strength from the terrible ordeal of the beating she took. That was why she was sleeping. Fatigue.
And, she no doubt took the time to put on a little make up to cover the bruises and marks from all that beating and choking. Oh, I forgot. Sidney told us that she experienced an "hour of sheer terror"….beaten and choked and punched in the face. But, Mangum, known for her honesty and clarity of recall……..will likely admit at some point that she never was hit.
She is doing a great job. If I were her, I would just go ahead and fire Meier; November 15, 2013 at 5:34 AM

Hey, Break.

This is great news. Her attorney should have sought a written report from Roberts long ago. They disagree in strategy because Meier is trying to protect Duke University Hospital and the medical examiner Nichols.

No it is not great news. Mangum just cleared up any problems that might be lingering around Nichols. Keep in mind that even if there was an esophogeal intubation, it is not an intervening cause under Welch and Holesclaw.

Crystal is proving the state's case for them. She has admitted she stabbed Daye. Now, she is proving the link between the stabbing and his death. Her one and only defense is self defense. She would have been much better off to at least make the state work at proving the causal link with a M.E. who had been fired than doing the work for them. Meier is trying to protect Crystal from herself.

She does have a knack for taking a bad situation and making it worse.

Yes I do know. The public is allowed to use the NCCU law library from 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM Monday through Thursday and 8:00 AM through 5:00 PM on Friday. Oddly enough, the public hours are posted on their website.

The University of North Carolina law library in Chapel Hill is open even longer hours to the general public.

The problem isn't that you lack access to a law library. The problem is your case lacks merit.

For starters, I would seek a mistrial because the defense attorney was not given adequate time to prepare a defense (about two and a half months tops).

Secondly, I would say that a continuance should have been granted until the SBI investigate the autopsy report on Daye and released its findings.

Thirdly, I would say that the juror who tried to influence the other jurors to put Durham's reputation ahead of justice should have been kicked off the jury and the alternate who brought it to Judge Ridgeway's attention put in his place.

Fourthly, Daniel Meier should not have been selected to represent Mangum as he is not a defense attorney or criminal lawyer. I do not believe he defended a client for murder in the past. Also, of concern is his connection with the Hospital Corporation of America, Inc.

Just a few for starters.; November 17, 2013 at 11:34 AM

I mentioned long ago on this blog site that Mangum told me that Daye probably received a black eye when he was pulling her off the bed and she was flailing her legs and she most likely connected at one time. I doubt (and she denies) that he sustained it from a punch in the face by her.

"For starters, I would seek a mistrial because the defense attorney was not given adequate time to prepare a defense (about two and a half months tops)."

However, Crystal had the services of a number of competent attorneys, of whom Chris Shella and Woody Vann were dismissed by her, at your urging it seems. Wanting a mistrial on that ground is like Charles Manson wanting a mistrial because Richard Nixon publicly proclaimed him guilty. The Manson Jury would have never found that out had Manson, himself, not flashed a headline at the jury in the court room.

"Secondly, I would say that a continuance should have been granted until the SBI investigate the autopsy report on Daye and released its findings."

Why should the SBI have investigated the report? In spite of Dr. Nichols' recent troubles, which are irrelevant to the Reginald Daye autopsy, there is no reason to question the validity of the report. The fact that you, an untrained, inexperienced, probably incompetent physician, sees problems with it does not warrant an investigation by SBI. That is like a blind man going to the police and saying, I just witnessed a crime.

"Thirdly, I would say that the juror who tried to influence the other jurors to put Durham's reputation ahead of justice should have been kicked off the jury and the alternate who brought it to Judge Ridgeway's attention put in his place."

That would have been an issue only if judge Ridgeway had ignored what the alternate told him. He dealt with it.

"Fourthly, Daniel Meier should not have been selected to represent Mangum as he is not a defense attorney or criminal lawyer. I do not believe he defended a client for murder in the past. Also, of concern is his connection with the Hospital Corporation of America, Inc."

He still has more experience with the law than do you or Crystal. Your legal experience amounts to filing and losing frivolous suits. You wanted Crystal to represent herself with you as her adviser.

This does not change the facts, that you had no legal right to obtain the discs or to publish the contents. More attempts to CYA.

You, who have made a career of filing and losing frivolous lawsuits say Crystal should trust you rather than an experienced attorney.

Anonymous said...: I have questions about the jury as well.

The delay of day two of the trial due to the jury behavior questioning by the judge is just that - questionable.

In addition, are the jurors being sequestered? How can they start a trial right after jury selection the same day and expect the jurors to go out into the noncourt world and have no contact with news or people who have not heard the news - especially since you can watch the trial live and in its entirety on the local news internet sites? Makes no sense to me. Did they just go home to an empty house with no tv, news, internet, or other people who hear the news, and were they prepared to immediately start camping out in their homes away from grocery stores and restuarants, their lives, etc.? ???; November 17, 2013 at 1:19 PM

Anonymous said...: The trial should have been delayed from the start to get both autopsy reports and prepare for trial for them as well as the noted needed additional time in general you mentioned Dr. Harr, I agree. Especially since the new lawyer has no experience on criminal murder cases as you mention, and again I agree, he has a conflict with the hospital affiliations that he and his immediate associates have to think that would not be an issue of conflict and ethics.

He himself has stated there is a conflict between himself and Ms. Mangum on the autopsy reports at the start of the first day of trial, and Ms. Mangum has received the right to obtain a copy of the second autopsy report immediately from the judge. That report should have been viewed and prepared for court already for a fair trial and representation of Ms. Mangum's defense.

In addition, today's local news is about the 'broken' state of affiars in the NC ME's office in general - so - at this point it would seem - there exists standing for all autopsy reports in NC to be questioned for many cases.

I have lost count of how many times A Lawyer and I have explained this to you. But, I'll do it one more time because apparently you do not learn.

Mercer sued under Title IX which applies to athletic programs at universities that accept federal funding. Duke accepts federal funding, thus its athletic programs are subject to Title IX. Mercer was alleging discrimination based on gender in an athletic program at a university that takes federal money. Thus, her claim was a valid one under Title IX and could proceed.

Sid, filed under section 1983 or the Civil Rights Act. Section 1983 applies to discrimination by private parties who are acting under color of state law. Sid refused to file against the Duke University Police Officer or security guard. North Carolina is a company police state. Which means that if a private police force (e.g. DUPD) sends an officer or officers to the appropriate training, those officers can make arrests and carry out other police powers. By definition, a DUPD officer is acting under color of state law in most of what he does. But, Sid refused to sue the one person who could bring him under the protection of Section 1983. Unlike Mercer who was thoughtful and filed an appropriate action, Sid was thoughtless and filed a frivolous action. He lost, most deservedly so.

He did once post on his blog that if anyone deserved $20 million from Duke(the amount he believes each Lacrosse defendant received), he did.

Justice HAH!!!

He had a problem with the cop being told to get rid of him for nothing (the cop didn't even know why he was getting rid of him in the first place).

Anonymous said...: As you can see from this current case, if duke decides to 'get rid of' someone - they can do a lot more than throw you off their property to get rid of you - and - from what you can see happening in this case - that getting rid of is excessive, illigal, and causes great harm to many.; November 18, 2013 at 3:09 AM

Failing to sue the police officer, fails to state a claim under Section 1983.

Got it?

Had Sid sued the police officer, he would have stated a claim under Section 1983 and Sid might have survived a motion to dismiss for failing to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Got it?

Sid failed to even attempt to state facts which would have gotten him relief under any section of the civil rights act, namely that some recognized right was being violated. Supporters of Nifong are not recognized for purposes of our civil rights laws.

Got it?

Not looking too good for Mangum at the moment....but, of course, Sid can always show up and save the day.; November 18, 2013 at 4:47 AM

According to SIDNEY, he was already leaving when the officer told him to leave. If so, it seems strange that he would have a problem with the officer telling him to leave. He would have told the Officer, I am leaving. Instead, he tried to pick a fight with the officer, which is documented by the recording SIDNEY posted.

Which suggests that SIDNEY's intent was to provoke something over which he could sue, hoping that would result in a bug payoff.; November 18, 2013 at 5:14 AM
Anonymous said...: Anon, try to understand.....one more time. Walt is not telling you that the officer did or did not do anything wrong. Walt is telling you that because Harr sued under a particular section of the "law", he (harr) HAD to identify somebody, as a defendant (in this case the officer) whose behavior and "status" were subject to the scope of the section under which Harr filed. Here is another way to look at it. As an example, I think WalMart has done me dirty. I want to sue them. I want to file a suit under section 1234 that says I can sue WaltMart's cashiers. Then, when I file my suit, I don't mention any cashiers at all. In fact, I blame the truck driver in the back loading dock for WalMart's mistreatment of me. My suit gets thrown out because I did not file under the section of law that covers the truck driver. The MERITS of my law suit, are not taken up by the court.........because I filed under an invalid section in the first place. Get It?????? Please do NOT keep asking the same dumb questions over and over....; November 18, 2013 at 5:19 AM

Anonymous said...: that's about the level that argument that walt repeats over and over again is - it doesn't even address the issues that Dr. Harr has explained repeatedly was his concern in filling that complaint.

just fitting the mood of the troll crowd on this blog - it gets very old when combined with life or death situations and real life justice system and health services that have negative effects on many. The amount of trolling and hate filled attitudes and remarks on this blog are overwhelming to say the least - and don't seem to address nor give much concern for the real problems that exist as injustice and harm to many in NC - only that 'duke wins' (and Ms. Mangum or Dr. Harr loses) ... what b.s.; November 18, 2013 at 5:47 AM
Anonymous said...: the sad thing is those same attitudes you see so viciously applied on dukes behalf on this blog against society as a whole are just a mere example of what goes on in real life in NC because of duke - even mirrored in a trachea tube - that's what is sad; November 18, 2013 at 6:01 AM
