The thing about Sid is that he finds something that supports his conclusion, then stops looking and refuses to examine new information or consider anything else, yet proclaims he is absolutely right in light of everything else (which he refuses to consider).
He has admitted he doesn't have the full medical records, he hasn't seen the Dr. Roberts report, he has no clue what Spencer Young's actual issues are - he just makes assumptions and moves on.
If you follow/trust a man so close-minded you deserve your fate.
A Lawyer said... I saw this adorable dog with a Planned Parenthood sticker on his head. I thought it was cute, so I took several photos of the dog and decided to use it for the link. It's that simple.
Looks like my older dog. Thanks for posting the pic, Dr. Harr.
Hey, A Lawyer.
You're welcome. By the way, do you think a government agency should investigate the Nichols autopsy report and Daye's death? So far they have refused to do so. And do you believe the public is entitled to see the results of such an investigation?
is it possible to get a lawyer to file suit against Duke for inciting hate crimes and everything else that they have done since and during and in the decision to cause the lacrosse case and perpetuate the hate - including up to the possibility of harm by medical and professional practices at the hands of duke and hateful harm perpetuated, supported, demanded, and expected of duke et al.?
Not being a lawyer, I do not know the answer to your question. The reason I filed against Duke is because it personally discriminated against me and tried to have me arrested out of malice. The reason I filed against them regarding the medical issues in Mangum's case is because it ties into my claim that those considered by the Powers-That-Be to be on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case have been unfairly treated by the State and media.
A Lawyer said... Do you actually believe that I would spend the time to write an eighteen page motion and not file it? Believe me, I filed it on February 14, 2014.
Where in those 18 pages do you: (1) cite the law that permits a federal court to order a state attorney general to investigate anything, or (2) explain why you, as distinct from any other citizen, have any stake in this issue?
Dr. Harr, there is this thing called "jurisdiction." You should try to learn something about it before you venture into court unassisted. Otherwise, court cases will not end well for you (which I believe has been the case in the past).
Had I had the ability to use the law library at the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh, I would've been able to cite relevant law and case lawng. Barring a Pro Se litigant from using the law library is not fair and places one at an extreme disadvantage. If licensed attorneys are given access to law libraries and their resources, why should not a citizen who is acting as his/her own attorney?
Do you believe I should be banned from using the Federal Courthouse law library... and if so, why?
kenhyderal said... @ Nifong Supporter: I directed a question to you on February 14 at 3:36 PM for which I never received your answer to. One other thing has been bothering me is that in your Christmas blog where you wished Christmas greeting to those who post you included Kilgo. Do you have reason to believe or knowledge that he is still lurking here?
Hey, kenhyderal.
Sorry for overlooking your question... it was inadvertent. The fact that I have time constraints when using the library computer makes it difficult to get around to answering all questions during one session, and by the next time I'm on the computer, I'm addressing new questions.
As far as the possible domestic violence incident that took place about a week prior to the stabbing, I am unaware of any investigation into it. Other than Woody Vann getting forensic pathologist Dr. Christena Roberts involved, I am unaware of any investigation being done by any attorney of Crystal Mangum in this case.
The importance of this incident is the bearing it has on Daye's prior conduct and prior acts. Furthermore it involves statements from a third party and a possible objective record of her visit to the clinic for alleged prior injuries received by Daye.
Mangum's turncoat attorney, along with the prosecutors did not want to sully Daye's choir-boy image developed by Prosecutor Coggins-Franks who repeatedly called him a "good man"... this despite his lengthy criminal record which included assault on a female, and that he had in his possession brass knuckles. An attorney faithfully representing Mangum's best interests would have challenged Daye's character. Meier didn't even touch it.
Anonymous said... From reading his website, Spencer Young is as crazy and deluded as you, so not sure anything he says is relevant. Oh, and what he's mad about isn't his charges (Meier got his felony dismissed) he's mad that Meier wouldn't prosecute the DA and Judge for unrelated issues, even though that's not something a defense attorney does.
Young also believes that Mike Nifong and Crystal Mangum are two of the most evil and corrupt individuals on the planet and he's celebrating her conviction.
Funny how Sid likes to cherry-pick things. Claims he believes in evidence, but really just takes what he wants, ignores the rest, and pretends he has a clue.
Walt is right, he's been enlightened many times but refuses to see it. He will never pay up.
The day he says anything relevant or remotely legally accurate on this blog is the day hell will freeze over and pigs will fly
It is amazing that a few people still don't seem to realize what a joke this blog and Sid are.
I have not studied Mr. Young's case, but I believe that it does have credence considering the state of the justice system. How Young feels regarding Mr. Nifong or Ms. Mangum is irrelevant when it comes to his attitudes toward Mr. Meier. He accused Meier of purposely acting to damage his case and cause him to lose. That is what I believe he did in Mangum's case, and therefore it is relevant.
Contrary to your comment, I value evidence. That is why I am trying to get the state to conduct an investigation and make it public... so we all can be enlightened. Also, the media automatically ignores my investigation... for the purpose of protecting Duke and the ME. It will be more difficult to ignore results of an investigation by the SBI.
Evidence about Daye's esophageal intubation, cardiac arrest, brain death, weeklong comatose state, and elective removal from life support are facts which attorneys on both sides and the medical examiner ignored during the trial and which the media has suppressed from the people.
I believe in evidence... and I also believe in transparency.

Just because I may not have all of Daye's medical records doesn't mean that I cannot recognize discrepancies and contradictions between statements in an autopsy report and operative report (and other documents). Fact is that Nichols' own testimony on the stand contradicts his own autopsy report.
A report by Dr. Roberts cannot change the facts, but it can substantiate the obvious flaws that exist and have been repeatedly pointed out.
Again, as far as Mr. Young goes, I just re-state what he claims regarding his relationship with Meier. It is not my intention to pass judgment on the veracity of his case.

And, because you are unaware of it, it must not have happened right? Wow, what a tremendous ego you have. You really think the world does revolve around you and you are entitled to everything, don't you?
his lengthy criminal record which included assault on a female,
Which was dismissed, as your own records indicate, and thus totally inadmissible and irrelevant. But, hey, don't let the law stand in the way of your paranoia and ego.
He accused Meier of purposely acting to damage his case and cause him to lose.
But, his charges were dismissed ... he didn't lose. That's the outcome you seek for criminal charges. He accuses Meier of not prosecuting the DA and the Judge, which a defense attorney can't do.
Again, you are totally wrong, but refuse to acknowledge it, and just intentionally ignore things that don't fit with your worldview as you want it to be.
Sid wrote: I believe in evidence... and I also believe in transparency.
Hardly ... you refuse to look at evidence that contradicts the conclusion you want to reach ... that's not believing in evidence.
You won't look into Spencer's claims because you know they will show he's delusional like you - getting charges dismissed is not a "loss."
As for transparency, whether you believe in it or not, you aren't entitled to participate in Crystal's defense, nor to information generated by her attorneys, so you don't get it. Just because they refuse to indulge you doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Dr. Harr, who would a concerned citizen ask for an investigation if your request for an investigation is not heeded this time based on the law that gives patients a right to receive medical services in a non-hostile, non-threatening, non-deadly environment?
Would that be done in a motion or a complaint?
Would it be civil or criminal?
Would it be the state or the federal government?
EXACTLY what office is responsible for the judicial oversight of an investigation and complaint based upon the incompletion and injustice of this case if that becomes the end result to the processes already in place?

Just because Sid hasn't been given the results of the investigation doesn't mean it wasn't done. That's been discussed numerous times here. Even the Defense expert agreed with the conclusions of Dr. Nichols (even if some errors were highlighted).
Are you really this clueless, or you just like playing along with the joke that is this blog?
"EXACTLY what office is responsible for the judicial oversight of an investigation and complaint based upon the incompletion and injustice of this case if that becomes the end result to the processes already in place?"
Sid doesn't know -- apparently he doesn't have access to the only library that can give him this information.
No, you just always accuse those you disagree with of sarcasm so you can ignore their points.
Sid is STILL bringing up Daye's "criminal record" even though it has been definitively explained to him why DISMISSALS are inadmissible. He does that with a lot, but dismiss the criticism as sarcasm and your vaunted Sid can still never be wrong, even when he is.
maybe if you stopped trolling, abusing, harassing, dissing, and generally discrediting everything he says and does - there would be no need for you to be so upset by him that you spend your every day trolling him and feigning great and grand victimization by his every thought and action
To me Sid's continual lawsuits, letters, flogs, blogs, etc. are in a way payback to Duke, Durham and the State of NC. The whole lacrosse mess was handled very poorly and the response to it from Duke, Durham, and NC has been basically lets move on, nothing to see. Sid is a burr in their side and they deserve this bad karma. Sid will never succeed here but is antics surely are noticed by the parties involved. I have to say also that his lawsuits are readable and sound lawyerly. But he has made a life of filing lawsuits so maybe you learn over time. I do not think I could however....
a. destroy the mental health system - wait that was part of the plan for the lacrosse case - but that part has never stopped and continues throughout the nation and certainly in NC, and helped to fuel hatred and more discrimination and prejudice against the mentally ill (which was part of their plan ... to this day)
b. turn the nation into a bunch of duke supported rape mongers and women bashers - many times without most even realizing that's what was or is happening ... many got hurt ... and it's full steam ahead for that ship.
c. destroy the duke / durham judicial system even more with their lets destroy DA Cline with a bag of bones, etc., 'innocence' commission major media harrassment driven falsly frame and blame event - yet we are the heros even though we're not - games.
d. discredite the SBI and make them take blame for duke's continued political agendas.
e. Mr. Daye was killed by them and Ms. Mangum was blamed and framed for their malpractice ... in order for her to be falsly imprisoned and for them to continue the 'game' with her - and try to make the public think they were and still are Ms. Mangum's 'victims'.
So - actually - it has been full steam ahead hatred, revenge, corruption, and damn the rest type 'entertainment' and social/political control strategies and actions that have harmed many more - with malice and intent on duke's et. al.'s part.
But yes, it has all been done with a damn what the public or the patients think or how they get harmed by duke - because seriously - that is not any of 'their' concern nor their care - even though they may get paid for it to be for some reason or another - 'they' are well rewarded, or made to think they are, or are intimidated or threatened or told to shut up or else all so no-one will say any thang bout it (cept to help duke's cause where they can or shut up if they can't) - because duke still insists that all think their their great.
... that's the short list of what 'they've' done since the lacrosse case.
As far as the possible domestic violence incident that took place about a week prior to the stabbing, I am unaware of any investigation into it. Other than Woody Vann getting forensic pathologist Dr. Christena Roberts involved, I am unaware of any investigation being done by any attorney of Crystal Mangum in this case.
And, because you are unaware of it, it must not have happened right? Wow, what a tremendous ego you have. You really think the world does revolve around you and you are entitled to everything, don't you?
One reason I know that Woody Vann got a forensic pathologist Dr. Roberts to investigate is because he filed with the Court an application and order for payment for the investigation. Surely the defense attorneys would more likely than not have the Court order the State to pay for any investigation... There was no record in her chart other than the one for Dr. Roberts seeking payment for an investigation.
Also, the only discovery and evidence Mangum turned over to me was from the prosecution. There was nothing in her documents given to me that included anything obtained from defense attorneys... with the exception of the order for Dr. Roberts to be paid.
Are you aware of any investigation done by Mangum's attorneys on her behalf?
Kenny, you are correct. Lance's comment was sarcastic.
You have been highly critical of those posters who "resort to sarcasm" in their comments. You direct no criticism at those posters, such as Dr. Harr, whose comments arguably trigger that sarcasm.
Why is that?
In this particular case, Dr. Harr continues to complain that he has no access to the law library at the Federal courthouse. Lance and others have repeatedly informed Dr. Harr that several other law libraries in the area are open to the public. Others have noted that the Internet has a wealth of legal information, including thousands of cases.
Dr. Harr ignores this advice. He repeats the same complaint without modification. He lacks the common courtesy even to acknowledge this information, let alone to react to it with an honest discussion of why he believes it is not acceptable.
Dr. Harr's posts contain numerous additional examples of his failure to acknowledge facts. I cannot list them here.
One must reasonably conclude that Dr. Harr is either intellectually dishonest or one of the stupidest people alive.
Kenny, you appear to argue that one has only two options when faced with incredible dishonesty or inconceivable stupidity: one can either (1) stop posting or (2) patiently offer the same correction over and over and over and over and over and over and over... and over again.
A dishonest poster has no obligation to act responsibly. A stupid poster has no obligation to learn.
He accused Meier of purposely acting to damage his case and cause him to lose.
But, his charges were dismissed ... he didn't lose. That's the outcome you seek for criminal charges. He accuses Meier of not prosecuting the DA and the Judge, which a defense attorney can't do.
Again, you are totally wrong, but refuse to acknowledge it, and just intentionally ignore things that don't fit with your worldview as you want it to be.
Even if Young may have been found not guilty, that doesn't mean that his attorney performed substandardly... and it doesn't preclude Meier from trying to undermine his client's case.
Had Mangum's attorney fought hard with her interests being a priority, it is likely that there would have been a mistrial. (One juror who tried to convince other jurors before opening arguments would've undoubtedly voted to convict).

I believe the State Attorney General's Office would be the one to ask for an investigation. I would file it as a request, and ask that the agency do its job and investigate.
The State has a duty to the people to investigate instances of criminal misdeeds and malfeasances... and producing a fraudulent autopsy report is criminal. The people are also entitled to have access to the results of the investigation. There needs to be some oversight.
@ Break: Some, posters, here, are contemptuous of anyone who does not buy into the conventional wisdom about Crystal Mangum. They have unreasoned hatred towards this person, they only know from what Duke Lacrosse apologists have fed to them. One way they frequently show this contempt is by using sarcasm. Dr. Harr is seeking justice for Crystal and for all North Carolinians, on his time and at his own expense. Denying him the use of that Law Library creates a logistical impediment to his efforts. There are other options for him but they are not as convenient.
FWIW, the NC Court System's FAQ specifically identifies the NC Supreme Court library ( the one on East Morgan) as the resource for ''an extensive collection of state (including other states) and federal law, periodicals, and law reviews"
Why this wasn't Sid's obvious first choice is, quite frankly, very confusing.
AG Cooper is running for election to Governor apparently. What are the chances that he will do anything about this case?
Is that part of why duke / durham justice system thinks it can continue to ignore the facts about Duke and the ME reports in this case - because AG Cooper won't do anything to stop the madness in duke / durham because he wants to be governor (not AG) - and duke pays too much for the votes it imparts to ignore THAT fact maybe?

Break, give me a reason why a non-lawyer Pro Se litigator in Federal Court should be denied access to the Federal Courthouse law library.
Also, I beg to differ with you as my responses are sincere, direct, and although a few may contain a little humor, they are not sarcasm-provoking.
Answer me this, Break: (1) Do you believe that the SBI should investigate the Nichols autopsy report and circumstances of Daye's death; and (2) Do you believe the public is entitled to have the results of such an investigation -- and if not, why?
Anonymous said... Check this out! (via ABC11 Raleigh-Durham local news iOS app) Crystal Mangum: One-on-One http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/abc11_investigates&id=9438053
Thank you for the informative link to the Mangum in toterview with ABC-11 News. I was aware she was going to give a couple of interviews, but she never said with whom.
I believe that Meier pretty much threatened her against having Dr. Roberts testimony brought in. That is clearly because he did not want her testimony to implicate Duke University Hospital. Keeping Roberts out of the trial was pivotal in having Mangum convicted.
Meier is a turncoat attorney in this case and the autopsy report by Dr. Nichols is fraudulent. This is nothing new.
There was no record in her chart other than the one for Dr. Roberts seeking payment for an investigation.
That's because in First Degree murder cases, those requests can be ex parte and handled outside the Court, so that the prosecution cannot see who the Defense is hiring and try to make guesses. There were at least 3 other "experts" hired - the DV expert; the accident reconstruction expert; and the private investigator. That was obvious from the trial.
Again, just because no one shares this stuff with you doesn't mean it didn't happen.
"Break, give me a reason why a non-lawyer Pro Se litigator in Federal Court should be denied access to the Federal Courthouse law library."
Those are the rules, Sid -- like soliciting on Duke campus. You live with them or break them to your own detriment.
Give me a reason why you can't use the Supreme Court Law Library.
Even if it's not right, the fact you recuse to actually do anything to help your case because you don't want to walk a few blocks is asinine.
The real reason you won't use another library is you know you have no case, and no legal basis for your claims, so rather than admit you couldn't find anything (or found things directly contradictory), you simply refuse to look and claim it's unfair.
And, no, Kenny, that's not sarcasm, that's a fact.
Sidney, I still can't understand why you won't take Lance's advice and use the Supreme Court Library. I realize it's not quite as convenient as the Federal Courthouse Library, but it's still your best bet if you really want to win this case. Otherwise they'll just throw your suit out over any error you make.
Now, isn't kindness just as effective as sarcasm in making the point
February 20, 2014 at 1:29 PM
Probably not ... Sid will still ignore it. If Sid actually listens to a post, then maybe, but I imagine he will ignore the kindness just as diligently as he ignores the sarcasm, because he knows he has no case, and so if he actually went to a library he'd lose an argument as to why he doesn't have legal authority - instead of saying he has no access to the tools needed to prove his case, he'd have to admit the legal authority shows he's wrong.
Sid never admits he's wrong, even when he is. He is still harping on not introducing Daye's dismissed criminal charges, even though he's wrong on that. (And many other things.)
I do not know why a government law library should limit access. However, given the availability of other libraries, I believe you are acting like a spoiled child. Rather than whine incessantly over the unfairness, you should have used another library.
I do not support a special investigation of the autopsy. You provide insufficient evidence to support one. I accept that Daye was given an esophageal intubation and concede that the autopsy and medical records were incredibly sloppy.
However, you have provided no evidence to counter your report that Roberts concluded orally that the autopsy is basically correct. The autopsy has been investigated, and you released the results. Roberts' oral report is sufficient.
Most importantly, you ignore a legal analysis that concludes that Crystal remains criminally responsible irrespective of an esophageal intubation resulting from medical malpractice or a pre-existing condition (alcoholism or DTs). Pretending that unhelpful case law does not exist does not help Crystal.
You refuse to acknowledge new information when it contradicts your conclusion and to adapt your arguments accordingly. As a result, you are an ineffective advocate.
I do not doubt your responses are sincere. I did not mean to suggest otherwise.
However, many of your arguments are moronic. Repeated moronic arguments provoke sarcasm.
A few examples:
1. Crystal is not responsibly for Daye's death because he was electively removed from life support. 2. Rae Evans directs the Carpetbagger Jihad, a vast conspiracy that targets Nifong, Crystal and their supporters for retribution. 3. Crystal was best served by representing herself against murder charges. 4. Meier's failure to introduce Daye's "criminal record" into evidence (despite it not being admissible) proves he conspired against her. 5. The failure in the lacrosse case to find DNA that matched the defendants and the discovery of DNA that matched unidentified males was not exculpatory.
I will provide additional examples if you respond honestly to these.
Sidney, you lose credibility when you make ridiculous arguments.
That is a lesson you, Kenny and Crystal should heed.
Are you the moronic statements blog monitor eh? Why don't you prove your accusations of moronic statements first? You expect everyone to say - hey yeah - the moronic blog monitor says it's moronic - so it must be. Yeah, well you can BE the moronic blog monitor in NC - but that doesn't make what you judge to be moronic actually moronic - so - yeah - BE it ... go for it ... yeah!
@ Break: 1. There is no nexus between Daye's death because of the medical mismanagement of his alcohol withdrawal symptoms and the self defence wound that Crystal inflicted on him. Welsh is simply not that broad. 2. It may not be a "vast conspiracy" but Evans and the trial lawyers are relentless in discrediting Crystal and former DA Nifong. The multi-year daily blog Duke Lacrosse Liestoppers is one example of this ongoing vendetta. 3 Crystal does need a experience Criminal Defence Lawyer to handle her case but it must be one who has her best interest at heart. Dr. Harr may not be a Lawyer but only the most jaundiced detractor believe that he is not genuine in wanting to get justice for Crystal. 4. Meier's defence of Crystal was half-hearted. Many Court appointed attorneys see their roster duties, as defenders, a necessary nuisance that takes them away from their more lucrative private practice. As unethical as this seems the result often is an inadequate defence. 5 The failure to find DNA of the three accused and their team-mates and the finding of DNA that did not match them was of course exculpatory for the charge of raping Crystal but until that DNA found was proven to be from individuals that were not present at the party, it can not be said definitively that no rape occurred there. After all Crystal's consensual sexual history could have easily been checked.
It's funny Kenny, you just can't admit Sid is ever wrong about anything. He's dead wrong about Daye's prior record and you still justify it.
And, even if a rape happened that night, since the victim ID'd the wrong people and was adamant about that, a conviction would be difficult if suddenly she changed her mind and said others did it (even with DNA), because changing stories destroy credibility.
But, just try it once:
Sid, you aren't perfect, you are in fact frequently wrong on a lot of things and this may be wrong on more.
Lance The Supreme Poster of Enlightenment said... "Break, give me a reason why a non-lawyer Pro Se litigator in Federal Court should be denied access to the Federal Courthouse law library."
Those are the rules, Sid -- like soliciting on Duke campus. You live with them or break them to your own detriment.
Give me a reason why you can't use the Supreme Court Law Library.
Supreme Poster, I don't argue that the rules state that a non-lawyer cannot use the law library at the Federal Courthouse. What I am trying to find out is the reasoning behind the law... other than to put a Pro Se litigant at a disadvantage. Like many laws and rules, it is legal, but not necessarily fair or just.
Also, for your edification,Duke does not have a rule against solicitation... only one that regulates it for companies on campus dealing with students. Besides handing out a business card and inviting the recipient to view a blog site is not solicitation.
Duke does have an anti-discrimination policy which it violated in going after me.
There was no record in her chart other than the one for Dr. Roberts seeking payment for an investigation.
That's because in First Degree murder cases, those requests can be ex parte and handled outside the Court, so that the prosecution cannot see who the Defense is hiring and try to make guesses.

Again, just because no one shares this stuff with you doesn't mean it didn't happen.
If I am not mistaken, the domestic violence defense witness stated that she barely had time to go over the case... probably hired in the spur of the moment to try and give the appearance of substance to a vaccuous defense.
With regards to investigation, I was referring to someone who would look into specifics of the case. For example interviewing Larry O'briant, getting records from the clinic Mangum visited, interviewing girlfriends of Daye who had been abused, interviewing other Duke doctors, etc.
The DV witness and door frame witness contributions were negligible at best. Mangum's best witness, Dr. Roberts, was kept out of the trial by her turncoat attorney.
I do not know why a government law library should limit access. However, given the availability of other libraries, I believe you are acting like a spoiled child. Rather than whine incessantly over the unfairness, you should have used another library.

Sidney, you lose credibility when you make ridiculous arguments.
That is a lesson you, Kenny and Crystal should heed
Break, I really find it hard to believe that you would not call for an investigation into the autopsy report and circumstances surrounding Daye's death.
First of all, during direct exam, Dr. Nichols twice stated that the spleen had been removed in the April 2, 2011 emergency surgery. This goes contrary to the operative report and his own autopsy report which gives the weight and description of the spleen. This is much more than sloppy work.
Answer me this: Was Daye's spleen present during the autopsy, or had it been removed prior?
Also, regarding Dr. Roberts, I never spoke to her personally. Mangum only told me that Dr. Roberts orally told her that the Nichols autopsy report is accurate. I believe that Dr. Roberts was lying to Mangum in order to mislead her into believing that a written report would be not advantageous... for the purpose of discouraging her from continually seeking a written report.
With regards to Rae Evans, she worked for a decade as an executive at CBS and surely has friends in high places in the media. She has expressed her vindictive attitude against Nifong publicly in an interview, and it is not a stretch to believe that media head honchos would help sate her appetite for vengeance with biased, skewed reporting.
Also, kenhyderal is correct. State v. Welch is far more restrictive than is suggested by commenters. Even jury instructions stated that an exception to liability for malpractice or medical negligence would be if the act (esophageal intubation) was the sole cause of death and that death would not have occurred had it not taken place. The esophageal intubation clearly is an intervening and the proximate cause of Daye's death.
By Judge Ridgeway's instructions, Mangum should not have been found guilty of first, second degree murder or any manslaughter charge.
"Also, for your edification,Duke does not have a rule against solicitation... only one that regulates it for companies on campus dealing with students."
Read your own words, Sid. In one sentence, you state that Duke does not have a solicitation policy and in the very next sentence you state what you believe the solicitation policy to be.
Now, just to be clear, the Duke Solicitation policy regulates more than just companies. it is designed for "...off-campus businesses, organizations or other entities that wish to visit campus and interact with members of its community." ["community" here encompasses Duke's student, staff, & faculty]
Your own website defines the Committee on Justice For Mike Nifong as "a grass roots organization...."
Further, the Duke Solicitation Policy defines solicitation as the "...act of interceding into a Duke community member's space in order to request information or communicate information about products, services, or events that are not related to Duke University or its educational mission "
Again, your own website states that it is for the purpose of "persuading the State Bar to...reinstate Mike Nifong's license to practice law"
This is a service to Mike Nifong (or to the state of North Carolina, if you prefer) that is not related to Duke University.
I find it very illuminating that Dr. Harr keeps asking why he is not entitled to use the federal court library but refuses to even acknowledge that there were other libraries he could have used.
The whole point of this discussion was that Dr. Harr's latest lawsuit raises claims over which the federal court has no jurisdiction. When I pressed him on that point, he said he couldn't resppond because he couldn't use the federal court's library. Which is a non sequitur of a response, because there are other libraries he could have used.
With regards to investigation, I was referring to someone who would look into specifics of the case. For example interviewing Larry O'briant, getting records from the clinic Mangum visited, interviewing girlfriends of Daye who had been abused, interviewing other Duke doctors, etc.
What do you think a Private Investigator did? Do you think they didn't interview witnesses and talk to them? You love to throw out all these allegations claiming corruption simply because no one has bothered to share their work with you.
So, there are 2 logical scenarios: 1. The experts that were on the case conducted the investigations they were hired to conduct, and just came to different conclusions on things than you and/or simply chose not to share them with you; or
2. Everyone else is corrupt and in on the fix, and only you know the truth, the whole trial, investigations, and all the rest was a vast charade, and the repeated comments to you from EVERYONE that your public release of information was harmful are all liars and wrong.
Also, regarding Dr. Roberts, I never spoke to her personally. Mangum only told me that Dr. Roberts orally told her that the Nichols autopsy report is accurate. I believe that Dr. Roberts was lying to Mangum in order to mislead her into believing that a written report would be not advantageous... for the purpose of discouraging her from continually seeking a written report.
Yes, because that is what hired experts do ... lie so they don't have to do the job they were hired for. It couldn't be because her conclusions, as she told Crystal, and Crystal told you, was that she agreed with Nichols on the cause of death even if there were issues.
Clearly, again, everyone else is corrupt and lying, and jeopardizing their own livelihood and careers, and only Sid is the one telling the truth.
Crystal now has Roberts' written report. If it is truly exculpatory, she can move for a new trial based on ineffective assistance of counsel. If she doesn't make such a motion and attach the report, it's a safe bet that the report is not exculpatory.
A Lawyer said... Crystal now has Roberts' written report. If it is truly exculpatory, she can move for a new trial based on ineffective assistance of counsel. If she doesn't make such a motion and attach the report, it's a safe bet that the report is not exculpatory.
A Lawyer, according to Mangum's recent interview she was definitely in disagreement with Meier's strategy of suppressing the Roberts report. I'm not surprised that Meier pressured her into turning down Roberts' involvement in the trial.
Of course Mangum had ineffectual counsel... that's to be expected from a turncoat attorney whose priority is to protect Duke University and the medical examiner.
Odd, though, that if all that is true, she hasn't sent you the report Sid.
Of course, if it backs up what Crystal said it would (that she agrees with Nichols on the cause of death), I assume you'd just say Dr. Roberts was lying to avoid testifying.
As was noted - if the report really is exculpatory, it will come out. If it isn't, as every lawyer Mangum had stated, it won't.
And, the Roberts report, even if exculpatory, still leaves her guilty of some level of assault, either AWDWIKISI or AWDWISI. Self-defense is the only Guilty/Not-Guilty.
The "Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong" was formed because of what I perceived to be the excessively harsh, injust, and disparate treatment he received from the North Carolina Attorney General (Roy Cooper), and the North Carolina State Bar. It seems that since its inception, Mr. Nifong is the only prosecutor to be disbarred. According to an article by UNC law professor Rich Rosen, no other prosecutor has even been severely disciplined by the State Bar. An organization which has no compunction about disbarring attorneys (according to its own web site, during a ten year period 373 attorneys were disbarred).
The "Committee" was formed without Mr. Nifong's knowledge or consent. It acts independently and without input from the Nifong family. After initiating my crusade for justice on his behalf, I had the honor of meeting this decent, dedicated, family man, and his lovely family.
Let me make it clear that Mr. Nifong does not intend on practicing law again, does not really want his license to practice law in the State of North Carolina reinstated, and did not encourage me to work towards getting it. In other words, he is not going to get on his knees and beg the state, or hop through any hoops for the state's perverse amusement.
I firmly believe that his license was taken from him selectively and unjustly by the state, and that the state should take responsibility for its actions (including its wrongdoings). That is why the state should reinstate Mr. Nifong's license to practice law. It should do the right thing and make amends to him.
Dr. Harr; now that it appears that you, like me, are also the victim of plagiarism, as in the Anonymous post of 7:04 PM, perhaps you will now exercise your prerogative as the blog host and censor out these distractions. Because they are off topic and relate to old discussions they tend to be confusing
If you are successful in your lawsuit, will it be possible for Crystal to sue Duke Hospital, Duke University, the medical examiner, Durham, the Durham Police Department, the Durham District Attorney, Judge Ridgeway, Crystals's attorney, her former attorneys, and Rae Evans for damages, including mental anguish, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.? kenhyderal also has stated that Crystal is entitled to sue other posters on this blog for libel and recover for damage to her reputation. Have you discussed these options with Crystal and will you assist her in her lawsuits?

I have no intention of assisting Mangum with any legal matter in the future. I am focused on getting her conviction overturned and her release. She'll have to contact an attorney to seek damages.
I believe that Mangum has the right to sue just about anyone she wants, however, I do not see any legitimate claim against Duke University Hospital or Duke. I think her best litigatory Meier.

Hey, kenhyderal.
I agree that re-submitting previous comments that I made can be annoying and confusing and diverts from the topic.
I have the option to rail against it, but have chosen to embrace it by looking at it as reinforcing important messages I've made in the past.
I can't always remember what statements I made in the past and it can be problematic identifying them... although they might sound familiar.
Policing this blog site can take a lot of time and energy, and since my online time is limited when I'm at the library, it is just not a priority. Removing violators of the kenhyderal policy is easy to identify and correct, on the other hand.

As someone who is trying to help Mangum and is in position to do so, it is extremely frustrating that she would keep something as important as anything in writing by Dr. Roberts away from me. I believe she decided to trust her attorneys who disparaged me and advised her to keep away from me. The Indy Week article about me was also effective in Mangum deciding to distance herself from me.
It is fortunate for her that she turned over prosecution discovery to me... otherwise, I would not be able to prove the reality of the conspiracy against her.
As far as Dr. Roberts goes, I seriously doubt that she would jeopardize her career and reputation by producing a false and fraudulent written report... especially that it is already apparent that Dr. Nichols' autopsy report contains major discrepancies with other medical records.
Problem with typing. In previous comment the last sentence should end: "Mangum's best litigatory target is Meier."
You have absolutely no evidence of anything improper and you are already encouraging her to sue. No wonder all your prior lawsuits get tossed out, you have no clue.
Any issues Crystal had with Meier will be addressed in her appeal, if the Appellate attorney thinks they have merit (of course, if they don't, you will just accuse that attorney of being corrupt), and the Court of Appeals will address them (and, of course, if they disagree with you, they will also be corrupt).

After Mangum's murder conviction is overturned, the State should drop its legal vendetta-driven pursuit of Mangum and stop wasting taxpayer money, stop wasting Court time, and stop wasting State resources.

Although you might be beyond the reach of enlightenment, I am nonetheless pleased that you are at least entertained.
There is a big difference between my civil lawsuits and the criminal prosecution of Crystal Mangum -- which is nothing more than vendetta-driven based on a fraudulent autopsy report and trumped up charges.
My litigation is for the purpose of protecting the civil rights of all Tar Heelians against discrimination in any form, and to preserve the important rights of citizens to have their day in court. As things stand, major powers and corporations who are sued in civil courts can have complaints filed against them by ordinary Tar Heelians summarily dismissed... even when the complaints are meritorious as is mine and that of Brian Meehan.
When I file my civil complaints, I am fighting not only for myself but for all Tar Heelians, including you... so that you will not face discrimination and that if you seek to redress a wrongdoing that the courthouse doors will be open for you.

You have no standing to sue on behalf of "all Tarheelians." (When you go the State bar law library, try researching "standing," and, in particular, the rules about "personal stake" and "generalized grievances.") So yes, you are wasting the time of the courts by filing repeated lawsuits which the law requires the courts to dismiss.

If yours was meritorious it wouldn't be getting summarily dismissed. The problem is your lawsuit is a joke with no legal basis, as you know, but you pretend you don't because you refuse to research it, pretending that because the Federal library is closed to you you are stuck.
People successfully sue Duke and others every day. It's not a plot against you, you are just incompetent.
I have psoriasis. I am among the 2-3% of the world population has it. It is a skin condition with a genetic component (thanks mom and dad). It means that I have white plaques on my skin that itch and shed flakes. I shed so much that I have to sweep my floors daily. I have plaques mainly on my arms and legs, but they can appear anywhere (some locations linked from this page are NSFW. I'm lucky, I don't have psoriatic arthritis which affects about a third of all people with psoriasis. People stare at me or pretend not to stare at me in public. I wish they would just ask me what it is. It isn't contagious. Sometimes people ask if I have a bad sunburn or a regular burn. Little kids ask about my boo boos. Dogs lick my legs. There are several different ways to treat psoriasis including steroids, light treatment, injectable antibodies, and shampoos but it is a chronic condition. One treatment was recently withdrawn from the market because of lethal side effects. There are groups for people who have psoriasis. As with many medical conditions, you sometimes get unwelcome suggestions on how to cure it. When I used to work in a hospital environment, the pathologists showed me what it looks like under a microscope.
One of the worst things about all this harm with Duke since at least the lacrosse case, is that Duke professes to be leaders of professionally esteemed experts in the fields that the public continually watches Duke maliciously manipulate and corrupt and use to harm others with and to coverup their initial harms, etc.
These very real professions that have life or death impact on those who get victimized for being in the way of Duke's professed professinally esteemed expert-ness, (or anything along that nature where the victim stands up for themselves against 'Duke's'harm, or are Duke's target for harm), are the same professions consistently in the news showcasing Duke's intentional malicious malipulation for their own benefit at negative consequences and costs to the public in general.
It is too obvious to ignore, and yet, the people who do ignore the situation are those whose jobs it is, (who get paid and hold the position of responsibility and power), to stop the harm for the public because they are beholden to Duke for votes or expert advice, or know full well Duke's true wrathful nature, etc., etc.
Therefore, the public must protest the harm for all - since all are harmed - and demand that those with the power and responsibility to stop Duke's harmful actions do so - for all.
You keep prattling on about these real harms Duke inflicts and the revenge it takes out on people it disagrees with. But when asked, you, like Sid, just ignore the questions.
Can you provide some specific examples of Duke intentionally acting in a malicious way to harm people? Show some evidence (and no, saying Daye isn't evidence, there is no evidence that Duke did anything intentional). Give us a list of concrete examples. You say it's widespread, and affects thousands. Just give us 10.

Thank you for the informative comment about psoriasis. I wish you the best with your treatment for it. It can be a very debilitating disease.

My lawsuit is not a class action one, A Lawyer, as you seem to infer. I filed on my own behalf as an aggrieved party. My motivation, however, is not strictly self-serving as I filed for the purpose of my actions benefitting all Tar Heelians in the long run. You need to look at the big picture.

The big picture is that your lawsuit is a joke, and a cry for attention. If you were serious about your lawsuit, you would continue to note the unfairness of not being able to use the Federal Library (because that is unfair), but would then not simply refuse to do any research on your case at the readily available resources/libraries (including one within short walking distance of the Federal one).
However, instead you refuse to do any legal research on your case (because you know it would show you are subject to dismissal), and continue to pretend the world is conspiring against you, when in fact they are just following the law.

Yes, but your suit complains about harms done to other people (e.g., Crystal Mangum). You have no "standing" (look it up) to bring such a claim.
Mangum's interview shows yet again....just how absolutely unwilling she remains....in terms of taking responsibility for her behavior. Still playing the poor black victim of the great white conspiracy game, still blaming everybody else for her own screw-ups, still lying, still bullshitting. I am so glad this woman is in prison...
Sid wrote: "The State has a duty to the people to investigate instances of criminal misdeeds and malfeasances... and producing a fraudulent autopsy report is criminal."
First, there is no evidence of a fraudulent autopsy report. The ME actually examined Reginald Daye and reported his observations. No one has produced anything to suggest that as an eye witness he is in error. That's a difficult problem to overcome. Certainly the defense' IME physician saw nothing to indicate that there was fraud.
Second, Sid is always so certain of his statements of the law. But the truth is, he knows nothing. For example he might not be so certain that "The State has a duty to the people to investigate instances of criminal misdeeds...." If he were to resort to the always available wikipedia he could read Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748, 125 S. Ct. 2796, 162 L. Ed. 2d 658; 2005 U.S. LEXIS 5214, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales. He might discover that the constitution does not impose a duty on the police or any government agency to investigate. Of course that would require some thought on Sid's part.

Anonymous said: "Mangum's interview shows yet again....just how absolutely unwilling she remains....in terms of taking responsibility for her behavior".............. Crystal has no criminal responsibility in the death of Reginald Day. The Jury got it wrong. When you are completely innocent you have nothing to take responsibility for. She should, steadfastly maintain your innocence and work to achieve justice. Law is such a despised profession because they prefer deal making to seeking the truth

The relevance in referencing Mangum's case is to show the State's and the public's attitudes towards Mangum, Harr, and others considered on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case. Mistreatment of Mangum and Harr by the State and Court is linked by their connection to the Duke Lacrosse case. Brian Meehan can also be included in this group as his treatment by the Court was unfair in summarily dismissing his complaint against the lab for which he was director.

Hey, Walt.
Thanks for the reference to the Castle Rock v. Gonzales case, however, I do not believe they are that similar. In that case, Jessica Gonzales sued the city and police of Castle Rock, CO for not enforcing a restraining order. That is quite different than County and State agencies refusing to investigate alleged crimes.
Further, whether the County or State has a legal duty technically to investigate reported crimes, the people believe that such a duty does, in fact, exist.
Oh, as far as my alleged tab of one G, I am afraid I am devoid of sufficient edification necessary for comprehension. Further enlightenment is required.
Do you actually have a written contract with Dr. Harr for his agreement to pay you for your legal services Walt?
No, Sid says on his website that if you enlighten him he will pay you $1k. Walt has repeatedly enlightened him, but Sid refuses to acknowledge it or pay!
To date I have not received a response from Walt or any other commenter to satisfactorily explain how Dr. Nichols could weigh and describe an organ at autopsy that had been allegedly removed during surgery eleven days earlier. I am still waiting for an answer that makes sense.
Further, whether the County or State has a legal duty technically to investigate reported crimes, the people believe that such a duty does, in fact, exist.
People "believe" a lot of things that are incorrect, like they don't understand you can be fired at any time for any reason, or for no reason, so long as not discriminatory. That doesn't mean they can sue on it.
You clearly admit that your lawsuit is feckless, I do hope that now that you are admitting that such a duty may not exist, but you are proceeding because you "believe" it does, you stop your waste of resources and money and drop your ridiculous lawsuits.

Find other windmills to tilt at.
I am in agreement with part of your comment... that "people believe a lot of things that are incorrect." That is because many people without much knowledge of the law are the very ones most likely to believe that laws are moral and fair.
Painful reality is that many laws are unjust and immoral, and are legislated with the purpose of enriching and protecting the wealthy and privileged classes... the majority of which make up legislators themselves.
When the rich and powerful cannot get around the law, then State and media have the option of ignoring them. That is what has happened in Mangum's case... as well as in my case.
Specifically in my case, it was apparent to the Court that I would prevail in my discrimination lawsuit against Duke, so it was determined to deprive me of my day in court.
In Mangum's case, investigative government agencies refuse to investigate the Nichols autopsy report and circumstances of Daye's death.
Walt, I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to enlighten Sid. Note however that there is absolutely no chance of receiving payment, since Johnson is never going to receive the Willis case reward -- a condition for Sid to pay up.

I am a 46 year old male. I have had gout for around 5 years which I was successfully managing with black cherry capsules (2 x 500mg per day). My gout attacks were occurring about twice a year until recently. I was diagnosed with hypertension, and prescribed metoprolol succinate 100mg, once a day, which has successfully brought my blood pressure under control. However in 3 months I have had 3 gout attacks. Can the metoprolol cause the increased frequency? Thanks for your help!

Regarding my discrimination lawsuit... consider this: if my case were so frivolous why would Duke University not simply go to court with me, let the jury decide, and be done with it? Instead Duke is putting all of its efforts into keeping the case out of Court. It's as simple as that.

Ignoring the concerns of an engaged citizen is neither appropriate nor responsible behavior.
You can respond.....who gives a rip....you cannot, however, practice medicine in North Carolina without a license to do so....and you, bro, are not licensed to practice in NC. Or anywhere else, for that matter. Of course, you could take up palm reading, or astrology, or channeling.
Regarding my discrimination lawsuit... consider this: if my case were so frivolous why would Duke University not simply go to court with me, let the jury decide, and be done with it? Instead Duke is putting all of its efforts into keeping the case out of Court. It's as simple as that.
Your case was legally frivolous, meaning that there were no facts the jury could decide that would affect the claim one way or the other. No matter what facts the jury found, Duke would still be entitled to win as a matter of law.
It would be like if the D.A. indicted you for eating a banana on Thursday: you would not need a jury trial to decide if you really ate the banana or if it was on a Thursday or a Wednesday; the judge would throw the case out before trial because eating a banana is not a crime.
There was a lady on our block when I was a kid who thought the local government was trying to kill her dog by putting rat poison in her garden hose. She wrote countless letters, ranted in public meetings, filed lawsuits, even went on a local radio talk show with "proof" that secret government agent were sneaking into her yard. Turned out,as I recall, that she did not have a dog....a live one at least.....because her pet had been dead about ten years...having been run over. In short, she was a crackpot with delusions and paranoia. I sincerely doubt the local government had a duty to respond to her allegations, investigate her claims over and over, etc. Secret agents killing phantom dogs, crop circles, black helicopters, grand conspiracies against Mangum, .......all a "fig newton" of asshat's pathetic little mind.

Where's the argument? I'm not an idiot. Of course I'm aware that I can't practice medicine without a license. But I don't need a medical license to talk about medicine, answer questions about medicine, or give my opinions about medical-related issues.
Ooo, I think we hit a tender spot, didn't we bro. You don't much like being reminded that you are not a licensed to practice medicine....... Been a long time since you were licensed to practice medicine, period. Actually. You could start a new feature on your web site........Heloise/ uh, no, Harr's helpful Hints...

They always try to get frivolous suits dismissed pre-trial, that what happens with most suits - it's incredibly expensive to go to a jury trial. You don't care, because it's not your money.
You really are an idiot if you believe your statement.

I have no problem with being retired from medicine. As it is, I can now devote full time to rectifying injustices in North Carolina.
I do not solicit medical questions, but I am willing to take almost all comments seriously.
Sorry to disappoint, but a tender spot you did not hit.

It could well be that many Motions to dismiss are filed because the complaint by the plaintiff might be frivolous. However, it is just as likely that a defendant would file a motion to dismissed in hopes of depriving the plaintiff of his day in court... thereby winning by default. The latter explains accurately the situation in my discrimination lawsuit against Duke University. Duke is desperately seeking a summary judgment because it is aware that it is unlikely to prevail if the case went before a fair-minded jury.
The relevance in referencing Mangum's case is to show the State's and the public's attitudes towards Mangum, Harr, and others considered on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case. Mistreatment of Mangum and Harr by the State and Court is linked by their connection to the Duke Lacrosse case. Brian Meehan can also be included in this group as his treatment by the Court was unfair in summarily dismissing his complaint against the lab for which he was director.
If you're suing only for yourself, you can't ask the court to order an investigation into Mr. Daye's death. You have no standing to seek such relief.
Beyond the standing issue, an investigation into Daye's death was already conducted. It concluded that Mangum was responsible.
So, Sid isn't suing for an investigation into Daye's death at all. Rather, he is suing to have the results of the investigation changed to further his agenda. That is not about to happen and Sid is going to lose badly. Again.

A Lawyer, you may be correct technically as I am a layperson without legal training. However, I believe that the results from an investigation into Daye's death and the Nichols autopsy report would reinforce my assertions that a conspiracy against those considered to be on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case does, in fact, exist.
A judge may very well rule against my Motion to Compel... however, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The investigation into Daye's death by Medical Examiner Nichols is a badly flawed and unreliable document which is contradicted by hospital records.
What I seek is another independent investigation into Daye's death as well as an investigation into the Nichols autopsy report.
I seek the truth about these issues, and the truth is a lot different than what is presented in the autopsy report.
"I seek the truth about these issues, and the truth is a lot different than what is presented in the autopsy report."
No. If you were seeking truth you would go where the facts, evidence and law lead you. Instead of forming a conclusion based on the facts, you started with a belief and now are desperately seeking facts to justify it. As you will soon learn it does not work that way.
The facts shown as discrepancies between the autopsy and medical reports are very obvious as outlined by Dr. Harr in his flogs. The judge stated that medical malpractice could be held as sole cause of death in this case, so therefore, that avenue of cause of death needs to be fully investigated and adjudicated in order for the trial to be about true justice and facts, not just a crusade to 'get Ms. Mangum back' by duke inc. & crazies company.
"A judge may very well rule against my Motion to Compel... however, nothing ventured, nothing gained."
Sidney's hobby in retirement.
Advocating for justice for all Tar Heelians is something I take very seriously. This is no hobby.
Regarding the Motion to Compel, it has absolutely no chance of being granted by a judge if it is not filed with the court. I don't see why that should be so difficult for you to understand.

Fortunately I was given access to prosecution discovery by Mangum. It includes the autopsy report which clearly shows discrepancies with medical records (especially the operative report). Also, the statements Dr. Nichols made under oath contradict his own autopsy report... unless you can explain how his autopsy report included the description of the spleen which he claimed was removed during surgery eleven days prior.
Regarding the Motion to Compel, it has absolutely no chance of being granted by a judge if it is not filed with the court. I don't see why that should be so difficult for you to understand.
My motion for a court order requiring every American to wear a cheesecake on their head every Thursday has absolutely no chance of being granted by a judge if it is not filed with the court.
Of course, my motion has absolutely no chance of being granted by a judge even if it is filed with the court.
The same is true of Dr. Harr's motion.
I don't see why that should be so difficult to understand.
It seems that is one of the major problems with this trial: that the judge stated malpractice could be considered the entire proximate cause of the death of Mr. Daye, but the ME based the autopsy report and even made a statement to the fact on the stand that his understanding of the law was not based on how the law was to be interpreted for this case in the judge's opening statements. The autopsy report is not based on the medical reports either, and is erroneous in obvious critical ways, so basically, everything the ME did is questionable and in stark contrast to all the other facts and laws presented in this case.

Are you familiar with Heather Sue Mercer v. Duke University? Filed in the mid-1990s, Ms. Mercer, a female, filed a discrimination lawsuit against Duke University complaining that she was cut from the Duke men's football team because she was a female. Ms. Mercer was allowed her day in court, although I would be inclined to believe that her suit was frivolous. But she prevailed, winning her case.
A cheesecake on head lawsuit sounds pretty frivolous to me, but if Ms. Mercer can win her case, then you and your cheesecake has a chance too.

The medical examiner hindered the jurors by keeping from them the true circumstances of Daye's death... claiming that some vague infection or catastrophic illness secondary to the stab wound caused Daye's death. He concealed the truth regarding the esophageal intubation and Crystal's attorney Meier worked with him to keep it hidden from jurors.
You're absolutely correct that the screw-ups by Dr. Nichols with help from Meier deprived Mangum of justice and allowed her to be convicted.
ALL of the autopsy reports in this state probably need to be reexamined based upon what is demonstrated by the MEs and the justice system in this case. That's ALL the deaths in all the hospitals, especially the mental hospitals in case the MEs have a thing against mental patients, and all blacks, and all women. Egad, no wonder it is just ignore, ignore, ignore in this state if the level of the criminal fraud and corruption that could exist is found to be true based on the suspicions brought to light in this case. Where is the innocence commission when ya really need them?
Either Mr. Daye's dead body was mutilated by Duke, or the ME did an autopsy on the wrong person and thought it was Mr. Daye, or the ME is lying to cover up Duke's malpractice. Could be all three, but seriously, this is a fairly sick scenerio.
Mr. Cooper's election for governor is when? Can he ignore this case for this long, and keep Ms. Mangum in jail while he does so (all for another election)? At what point is enough enough?
Already the current duke oriented governor is being held to task on the environmental destruction of NC by duke's energy endeavors, like the current coal ash dumping into the Dan River. If Mr. Cooper hopes to win against the current duke oriented governor, he too will have to be duke oriented? Or will duke try to take advantage of this state even more under the current governor to the point where the harm becomes so obvious and destructive to the state that enough who vote are made aware of the truth of the politics of duke in this state and will vote against duke oriented political nominees? Either way, you will have two duke oriented governors running against each other if the current governor runs for reelection. Does not bode well for NC based on history to date either way.
If you look at the problems with deaths caused by medicine, etc., in history and wonder how the pharma & co. could have done what they did and got/get away with 'it' for so long, one could assume that a corrupted ME system in a state with massive pharma & co. presence and holdings could be deemed an asset to the endeavors of those whom deem their profits and monetary losses from research efforts more important than the lives of those whom consume their products or end up as a research victim. An AG who supports the industry over the safety and well-being of the citizen consumers of the state in which he is elected by its citizens to protect them against the industry would also be advantageous to the endeavors of the pharma. & co. research and monetary efforts that actually prove to be deadly to its consumers.

You are absolutely correct. The integrity of the State's entire justice system is brought into question by the Nichols fraudulent autopsy report and the State's agencies refusal to investigate.
A.G. Roy Cooper should investigate this, but I feel his position on this issue has been laid out by the Powers-That-Be... which he feels will be able to put him into office.
I much prefer Cooper as governor than McCrory or any other Republican... and I feel that they would have acted no different against Mangum than Cooper. The media has morphed Mangum into political toxicity.

Well Sid, you do seem the expert on frivolous lawsuits, so I'm inclined to believe you.
Supreme Poster, answer me this: According to Dr. Nichols was Daye's spleen present at autopsy or had it been previously removed?

Tar Heelians are definitely victims of avaricious energy corporations... they will be sacrificed for profits. That has been the record for ages.
The best hope for ordinary citizens is for the government to take ownership of all energy businesses, with transparency and regulation by the people.

Ms. Mercer sued under Title IX, prohibiting private universities which accept federal funding from discriminating against women in athletic programs. (Walt and others have explained this to you before.) What statute covered your lawsuit against Duke?

If I am not mistaken, A Lawyer, you were slamming me over the frivolity of my case. Seems like you're changing gears.
Whatever, I believe that discrimination in its most broadest application should be prohibited by law. Who knows, my lawsuit might become case law on this very issue.
Quasimodo, one of "Donna" Rae Evans' cugines, over at the Duke Lacrosse Liestopper's Blog is castigating Duke President Broadhead for not helping a freshman student who has resorted to performing in pornographic films in order to pay for her college tuition. He's the same poster who was contemptuous of Reverend Jesse Jackson for offering such assistance to Crystal Mangum who resorted to exotic dancing to support herself and her family while also attending University.
Daye did NOT have a lengthy criminal record. LIE, Harr. The domestic charge against Daye was DROPPED. LIE, Harr. You infer that Daye was somehow a "criminal" because he possessed brass knuckles. Hmmm, then according to that hair brained logic, Mangum is surely a world class whore.......because there were multiple photos of her (and a video) posted on line, showing her straddling a chair (in VERY scant clothing) on an escort service site. The "Bunny Hole" site. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck......Yep, it's a duck, right? Walks, acts, looks, talks like a whore......Yep, it's a whore.
Sid -- You're rather fond of asking questions without ever answering the questions previously posed to you. So I'll ask again: Why can't you use the State Supreme Court Library?
If I am not mistaken, A Lawyer, you were slamming me over the frivolity of my case. Seems like you're changing gears.
Not at all. I pointed out that Ms. Mercer's lawsuit was based on a statute (Title IX), whereas yours is based on nothing but your own ideas of what the law should be. That is certainly a frivolous position; Congress makes the laws, not you.
Lance The Supreme Poster of Enlightenment said... Sid -- You're rather fond of asking questions without ever answering the questions previously posed to you. So I'll ask again: Why can't you use the State Supreme Court Library?
The following is posted online for the State Supreme Court Library: "Supreme Court Library supreme, court, library The North Carolina Supreme Court Library in downtown Raleigh is open between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (except state holidays). Access to the facility is restricted to "users" and "authorized visitors" under Supreme Court Library Rules. "Users" must show either state employee identification or N.C. State Bar number in order to gain access to the Justice Building; "authorized visitors" must present a completed visitor authorization form. Staff of the library may issue a visitor's card when the information contained in the completed visitor authorization form is confirmed.
Staff of the Library may be reached by telephone at 919-831-5709, by email, or by U.S. Mail at the following address: NC Supreme Court Library, 500 Justice Building, 2 East Morgan Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-1428.
The print holdings of the Library may be searched through its catalog. For an introduction to North Carolina legislative history, users may consult this primer."
Sid you are correct. The Supreme Court Library is no longer a public library (this is a recent change - so some of the websites still list it as such).
The NC Legislative Library (I think that's the name -- it's the one at the corner of Salisbury and Lang streets), is open to the public, as is the law library at UNC Chapel Hill.
FYI - You would've gotten the information about other law libraries open to the public if you'd bothered to call the Supreme Court Library.
Lance( the inquisitor) said: "Sid -- You're rather fond of asking questions without ever answering the questions previously posed to you. So I'll ask again"...........Lance, forever, asks superficial and irrelevant questions and then harps on interminably, demanding an answer. But, hypocritically, he ignores questions posed to him. I'll give him credit, though, when he got his answer he did give a qualified apology.
Kenhderal- One of Sid's key claims is that his inability to access a law library has put him at a disadvantage. I was wrong about the Supreme Court library, and readily admitted it when I found out.
I also did Sid the favor of identifying two alternatives.
What have you done to assist Sid in his search for legal resources?
When you look at where the coal ash ponds are located - you really have to question what duke is doing even more than before. There is one so close to major river leading out into highly populated shore area in Wilmington that is major draw for many in NC in USA that any major rain event down there (like a 100 year flood) would seemingly destroy that very important NC environment and others like it by the ocean currents, etc.. Put a defensive line of oil drilling, huge mindwill like projectiles and sludge from fracking and hogs with deadly viruses washed into all the rivers - and that probably would NOT be THE place to be after, during, and maybe even before a huge rain / hurricane type event. Egad! ... but the tsunami caused by the oil drilling will clean the whole thing up and dump it further inland ... the end.
You understand that Duke Energy and Duke Power are completely unrelated, right? They both have Duke in the name but are otherwise two completely separate entities. Or are you so paranoid you see the word Duke and just freak out?
duke energy and duke power are different how (beside the name? you know the ol' saying: if it walks like a duke and talks like a duke ... must be a duke ...
So your paranoia is based on a name, not an actual organization? Or are you mistrustful of all big organizations? Is UNC as evil as Duke, or is it really the name? Good thing you don't live in Europe, they have Dukes all over the place.
Doesn't matter because the effect of what is being done in that name in the form of corruption and harm is what i am talking about actually.
Get real. Yeah - it's all about duke for you - no other things matter - right?
For most it is about the rivers, oceans, drinking water, safety from earthquakes and other man-made disasters, freedom from medical malpractice (intentional or not), etc., etc., etc.
The name of duke just happens to be associated - not sure of the history of it all though - but if you look closely - the effect of the corruption and harm on politics and lives of many are all the same (in that name and in that manner).
I'm not the one who said it was all about Duke, you did. You really are delusional if you think that was anyone else tying Duke University to the Coal Ash issue. Of course corruption is a problem, and of course it needs to be cleaned up. Our politics is bought and paid for - YOU are the one who irrationally blames Duke University for EVERYTHING, even things that they have nothing to do with, and you accuse me of doing that? Put your tinfoil hat back on!
i just said duke and YOU automatically assume I mean Duke University and get yourself into a self-righteous duke is great how dare you harm my dukeness ego and blah, blah, blah ... you're scum attitude and behavior
you seriously do that - however - it is a common duke 'thang'
why do duke people do that repeatedly? Is it the $200,000 plus tuition, or what?
Now duke wants all their customers to pay to clean up the coal ash ponds so that they can continue to make their billions in profits instead of investing their profits back into their own business in order to follow the laws that mandate that they be responsible for their own environmental hazardous waste that they ultimately incur billions from the public, including the costs of health services when the public gets sick from their environmental hazardous waste products, etc., etc., etc.
Sound typical? How do the people demand that duke's abuse of NC and it's citizens stop and get their voices heard above the billions of dollars and the continued ongoing harm of the people and the environment? What does it take to make people like that listen and actually do the right thing for a change?
Again, 2 completely different companies. Duke University, which owns Duke University Medical Center which the people on this blog relentlessly attack, and Duke Energy, which is completely unaffiliated with Duke University, which should be attacked, because it bought and paid for our governor, but since it has nothing to do with Mangum, doesn't really fit nicely into the paranoia here, yet somehow the two companies/entities are getting conflated because of the word Duke ...
No wonder the people on here (with some exceptions) still believe Sid and think he makes sense, they are clueless.
If you read my post, I note that they bought and paid for the Governor. Can you not read in addition to a knee-jerk anti-Duke reaction? The Duke family helped found things, but don't continue to have significant involvement in either entity.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Actually, this is more of an update... I have finished drafting and narrating my newest flog. It should be uploaded by next weekend.
Also, I am thinking of differentiating my flogs from other flogs... In the future a Sidney Harr flog will be referred to as a "shlog." Hope that this does not cause too much confusion.
To the evil duke troll who does nothing BUT troll in evil duke knee jerk ways - altho i did note your newfound ability to not troll for 2 days - yeah for you: blah
Why is Duke ALWAYS in the news? These are out of state students for the most part who look like crazy smurfs - and the public is supposed to think what about it? I mean, when the public is CONSISTENTLY made to feel like a second hand citizen worthy only of environmental hazards, constant harrasment by rape mongers, loss of services due to duke's interjection into, corruption of, and profitering from the public systems, hazards from their medical malpractices and corrupted medicines, and loss of an equal and noncorrupt judicial system that affects the lives of all - all by an organization mascoted by DUKE's demons and crazy blue smurfs - something has seriously got to be done to change this situation for the better for all. oi
Usually when duke is involved in any venture it is NO LONGER (seems it sorta used to be tho) ok - now we'll get some reasoned outcomes and results ... no
it's: who are the victims, how bad did they get hurt, was duke able to pick themselves off the floor after they stopped laughing, how much money are they making, who did they corrupt, what lies did they tell, who did they rape, what fights did they start, who did they harm this time ... what's it going to cost the public to fix their mess after they finally admit to it, when will someone get them to admit to and correct their errors, who died ... ???
Dr. Harr - do you actually think it is justice if the people are forced to be their own lawyers, even in felony murder cases in durham because of duke?
THAT is the problem. Would you actually advocate for people to do that if it wasn't durham, duke, or Ms. Mangum for that matter?
if you do not think duke sukes big time due to how they have messed up theirs and everyone's elses health services - and due to their attitude about the expendability of people in general (at their hands)... you are just like them ... evil
Duke didn't even take responsibility for what they did or raise issue with discrepancies with the autopsy report which were apparent.
The differences in the wound reported from Dr. Nichols and from duke were huge enough to effect the trial negatively and wrongly - which was very obvious.
Anyone who thinks that was a fair trial should be subjected to the same thing - then asked again if they thought it was fair.
It is a huge problem that no one knows the facts of this case in regards to duke's and the ME's services and involvement in the discrepancies and malpractice, since they were not presented and questioned at the trial. It is sickening to know duke expects to get away with this too, and watch how they 'do it'.
It is apparent they do not actually give a hoot what people think of them.
If you were to need duke health services knowing what they have done in this case, would you ask each and every person you came into contact with and/or seek some kind of verification from any other who may affect your health at duke, (insisting that they look you straight in the eye and fill out an affidavit or something), what are your moral opinions about the killing of Mr. Daye? THEN, would you take time to consider their responses carefully before you ever let them put a blood pressure cuff on you or stick a needle in your arm to draw blood or sign their paperwork accepting their services, etc.? ???
How does a person deal with this latest outrage by duke AND still accept their medical services? ???
Would that be considered child endangerment if a parent who duke had issues with took their child (or was taken) to duke for medical services in light of this current case?
Like Ms Mangum now, would it be considered child endangerment if one of her children were taken to duke for medical services - say - if they cut themselves with a knife chopping an onion or something - since they may become dukes victim if duke wanted to try to pin child abuse or murder charges on Ms. Mangum or her children's caretakers as well?
Now whenever someone from duke or with duke leanings or conflict of interest testifies or holds a position of judicial standing in court, their testimony or involvement can be questioned based on the possibility that their answers or judgements might stem from fear of duke's reprisal against them or their family if they testify truthfully against duke in anyway. Including in this case.
The comments and attitudes displayed here that hold so much hatred for Ms. Mangum, everyone around her, and anyone like her are just mere examples of the same attitudes and decisions and life destroying consequences that are seen in the communities effected by duke's policies, politics, health services and management, comments and attitudes and practices.
This latest case is just an example of the same treatment many receive from duke.
Why do you think the lawyers won't put a stop to Duke's evil ways in Durham and for NC and the USA ... and just keep sitting there watching the mess get worse, and even instigating and being a part of it?
Anyone's ties to duke magically and by law appear as soon as they step foot in the vicinity of duke's mandatory emergency medical services.
If the safety and well being of your own life does not a create a conflict of interest - than conflict of interest is not well thought out nor adequately defined - to say the least.
yes, and duke can't say they provide health services and then turn around and kill people for their own benefit or pleasure either - can't have it both ways right?
You are just picking at straws to find some way to go your happy way and think all is well at duke and you'll be ok there - just something to complain about and feel vindicated about Ms. Mangum - since you have no idea what people think just because they post here.
Laws and facts change all the time - they themselves may stay the same - but perceptions and applications of the same change.
How does someone actively alter the application of a law in the middle of a case, or at a trial?
Are the processes to do such a thing different depending upon whether in prelim case work, the trial, or appeals and to differing levels?
At what level or process of the court system of any particular case can the differing applications and interpretations of a law be legally applied and/or challenged in any case?
Isn't what happened in that trial illegal as far as duke is concerned, since they did not take responsibility for their own malpractice, and if they did, they further harmed Ms. Mangum and Mr. Daye and their families by not insuring that the medical examiner and prosecution were well aware of this fact, as it was favorable to the defendant, and would have helped the Dayes and Mangums in insuring a less stressful grieving and trial period for the Mangum/Daye case.
That is why I dislike duke in part - they do these things that are malpractice or illegal by law - then try to get away with it by corrupting everyone and the system - and then sit there and let everyone else sacrifice and suffer from their mistakes - then laugh straight in everyone's face if they complain (even if they don't cuz duke gets their kicks and thrills on the legal battle front and win at all cost sports and political fields as well).
A lot to dislike - too much - too much to agree with anyone who doesn't have a problem with what duke just did in this case and to ever trust them again for anything other than harming others (and themselves).

If Duke's medical malpractice did not effect Ms. Mangum, Mr. Daye, or the community negatively and duke had nothing to hide - then why did the ME misrepresent what Duke says in their medical reports to place more weight on the stab wound and less on the complications which actually killed Mr. Daye due to medical malpractice; why did Dr. Roberts have to be 'forced' by the judge at Ms. Mangum's insistance against the lead of her lawyer of only two months to produce a written autopsy report which was not produced until the last day of the trial - even though she asked for the written report for @year - so no time to prepare for nor question it; why did all her lawyers and the DA's office refuse to raise the issue in a way in which the issue was presented fairly to the jurors and the defense, and the public; why didn't the defense lawyer question duke at the trial; and why didn't duke question the discrepanices between the reports themselves?
Everything that was done in that case and trial was done to keep hidden what Duke actually did to kill Mr. Daye. Why is that if it didn't matter to the charge and sentencing?
Does duke think their reputation is more important than professionally and responsibly handling their own malpractice and medical environment in such a way as to retain trust by the public? All they have done is place more doubt on their professionalism and ethics by what they did or didn't do legally and professionally in this case.
They will let the issues in this case stay under the rug if at all possible apparently - THAT is illegal - since legally they are responsible for what they do and have done - more so for most than Ms. Mangum since most don't rely on her to save their lives when medically needed, or to provide legal and professional advice and direction, etc.
That's about as fracked up of a case and trial as I have ever seen - to have the people who actually murdered a person knowingly sit right here or there in the trial - and laugh - point fingers - and grin when another person takes the blame - while everyone watches - knowing full well that could be anyone in the defendants' hot seat - and the murderer is probably killing a goodly sum of people that day and everyday in a continuance of their unchecked and uncontrolled murderous, unethical, and celebrated medical malpractice, while supporting in major ways the government forcing the entire nation to pay for their illegal and deadly services
duke has ruined NC and is working on the USA and world
they apparently do it as sport and on purpose now
they ARE the evil mongering rage that torments this land
they are the force behind the corruption of NC and the exploitative harm to many, including children, infants, the elderly, the ill, the disabled, women, young boys - family, friends, enemies and collegues alike
The paucity of jobs in America is in large measure due to jobs being outsourced or manufacturing set up overseas where there is an abundance of a cheap workforce. It increases the bottom line for the companies, however it also increases the number of unemployed Americans because these jobs are lost. But that is of no concern to the avaricious company bigwigs.
Another way corporations increase their bottom line at the expense of the number of people employed is through the merger of competing companies. The top executives in these deals usually make out like bandits, while many of the workers whose jobs are now redundant, are let go. In addition to a more streamlined staff with fewer workers, the newly forged company will be on the road towards becoming a monopoly, having one less competitor. This is good for big business, but bad for the consumer. Once a business has obtained the status of being a monopoly, the stage is set for it to exploit the many dependent upon its products and services… no competitive pricing to prevent price gouging.
No doubt you are wondering how Republican candidates hope to remain in power when 80% of the population is markedly under-represented in wealth distribution statistics. They get the poor and disenfranchised to vote for them by using the foundation of magicians’ tricks and illusions… misdirection. They misdirect the public’s attention with other petty issues lacking substance and value. For example, instead of addressing the problems of a lack of jobs, economic disparity, the rise in homelessness, and the increased numbers of families falling into poverty, the Republicans concentrate their efforts on the following: passing a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage; requiring photo IDs for voting; setting up roadblocks to a woman’s right to get an abortion while reducing funding for the valuable services provided to the poor by Planned Parenthood; repealing the state’s Racial Justice Act; and forcing those on public assistance to submit to drug testing.
So says "Anonymous" at 7:43. I wish posters were required to use a user-name. I'm assuming Anonyous @ 7:43 has concluded, based on the content and writing style, that all the proceeding posts were written by the same person.
Dr. Harr - do you actually think it is justice if the people are forced to be their own lawyers, even in felony murder cases in durham because of duke?
You know Mangum's case had nothing to do with Felony Murder, as has repeatedly been explained here, right? The Larceny of the Money Orders cannot constitute a felony for felony murder, and the felony murder instruction was not even given.
It is a huge problem that no one knows the facts of this case in regards to duke's and the ME's services and involvement in the discrepancies and malpractice, since they were not presented and questioned at the trial. It is sickening to know duke expects to get away with this too, and watch how they 'do it'.
A lot of people "know" what the issues/discrepancies are - remember, the Defense had experts review everything. Crystal, her defense teams and others all likely know - they just aren't sharing with you and Dr. Harr.
Can I please have one moment of your professional time if possible? I have a question: from your medical standpoint, theoretically, is it technically considered suicide if someone decides to 'go off' life support? What is the term that is generally given by a doctor to be used by the patient when they have to make that decision for themselves and call it some word to describe the theory behind what they are ultimately doing? Do you know?
I'm a senior citizen who believes that the state of North Carolina has harshly, excessively, and unjustly treated former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong.

I saw this adorable dog with a Planned Parenthood sticker on his head. I thought it was cute, so I took several photos of the dog and decided to use it for the link. It's that simple.
Looks like my older dog. Thanks for posting the pic, Dr. Harr.
Hey, A Lawyer.
You're welcome. By the way, do you think a government agency should investigate the Nichols autopsy report and Daye's death? So far they have refused to do so. And do you believe the public is entitled to see the results of such an investigation?

Dr. Harr,
is it possible to get a lawyer to file suit against Duke for inciting hate crimes and everything else that they have done since and during and in the decision to cause the lacrosse case and perpetuate the hate - including up to the possibility of harm by medical and professional practices at the hands of duke and hateful harm perpetuated, supported, demanded, and expected of duke et al.?
Not being a lawyer, I do not know the answer to your question. The reason I filed against Duke is because it personally discriminated against me and tried to have me arrested out of malice. The reason I filed against them regarding the medical issues in Mangum's case is because it ties into my claim that those considered by the Powers-That-Be to be on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case have been unfairly treated by the State and media.
A Lawyer said...
Do you actually believe that I would spend the time to write an eighteen page motion and not file it? Believe me, I filed it on February 14, 2014.
Where in those 18 pages do you: (1) cite the law that permits a federal court to order a state attorney general to investigate anything, or (2) explain why you, as distinct from any other citizen, have any stake in this issue?
Dr. Harr, there is this thing called "jurisdiction." You should try to learn something about it before you venture into court unassisted. Otherwise, court cases will not end well for you (which I believe has been the case in the past).
Had I had the ability to use the law library at the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh, I would've been able to cite relevant law and case lawng.
Barring a Pro Se litigant from using the law library is not fair and places one at an extreme disadvantage. If licensed attorneys are given access to law libraries and their resources, why should not a citizen who is acting as his/her own attorney?
Do you believe I should be banned from using the Federal Courthouse law library... and if so, why?

@ Nifong Supporter: I directed a question to you on February 14 at 3:36 PM for which I never received your answer to. One other thing has been bothering me is that in your Christmas blog where you wished Christmas greeting to those who post you included Kilgo. Do you have reason to believe or knowledge that he is still lurking here?
Hey, kenhyderal.
Sorry for overlooking your question... it was inadvertent. The fact that I have time constraints when using the library computer makes it difficult to get around to answering all questions during one session, and by the next time I'm on the computer, I'm addressing new questions.
As far as the possible domestic violence incident that took place about a week prior to the stabbing, I am unaware of any investigation into it. Other than Woody Vann getting forensic pathologist Dr. Christena Roberts involved, I am unaware of any investigation being done by any attorney of Crystal Mangum in this case.
The importance of this incident is the bearing it has on Daye's prior conduct and prior acts. Furthermore it involves statements from a third party and a possible objective record of her visit to the clinic for alleged prior injuries received by Daye.
Mangum's turncoat attorney, along with the prosecutors did not want to sully Daye's choir-boy image developed by Prosecutor Coggins-Franks who repeatedly called him a "good man"... this despite his lengthy criminal record which included assault on a female, and that he had in his possession brass knuckles.
An attorney faithfully representing Mangum's best interests would have challenged Daye's character. Meier didn't even touch it.
Anonymous said...
From reading his website, Spencer Young is as crazy and deluded as you, so not sure anything he says is relevant. Oh, and what he's mad about isn't his charges (Meier got his felony dismissed) he's mad that Meier wouldn't prosecute the DA and Judge for unrelated issues, even though that's not something a defense attorney does.
Young also believes that Mike Nifong and Crystal Mangum are two of the most evil and corrupt individuals on the planet and he's celebrating her conviction.
Funny how Sid likes to cherry-pick things. Claims he believes in evidence, but really just takes what he wants, ignores the rest, and pretends he has a clue.
Walt is right, he's been enlightened many times but refuses to see it. He will never pay up.
The day he says anything relevant or remotely legally accurate on this blog is the day hell will freeze over and pigs will fly
It is amazing that a few people still don't seem to realize what a joke this blog and Sid are.
I have not studied Mr. Young's case, but I believe that it does have credence considering the state of the justice system. How Young feels regarding Mr. Nifong or Ms. Mangum is irrelevant when it comes to his attitudes toward Mr. Meier. He accused Meier of purposely acting to damage his case and cause him to lose. That is what I believe he did in Mangum's case, and therefore it is relevant.
Contrary to your comment, I value evidence. That is why I am trying to get the state to conduct an investigation and make it public... so we all can be enlightened. Also, the media automatically ignores my investigation... for the purpose of protecting Duke and the ME. It will be more difficult to ignore results of an investigation by the SBI.
Evidence about Daye's esophageal intubation, cardiac arrest, brain death, weeklong comatose state, and elective removal from life support are facts which attorneys on both sides and the medical examiner ignored during the trial and which the media has suppressed from the people.
I believe in evidence... and I also believe in transparency.

Just because I may not have all of Daye's medical records doesn't mean that I cannot recognize discrepancies and contradictions between statements in an autopsy report and operative report (and other documents). Fact is that Nichols' own testimony on the stand contradicts his own autopsy
report.
A report by Dr. Roberts cannot change the facts, but it can substantiate the obvious flaws that exist and have been repeatedly pointed out.
Again, as far as Mr. Young goes, I just re-state what he claims regarding his relationship with Meier. It is not my intention to pass judgment on the veracity of his case.
Let me know if further enlightenment is required.

You won't look into Spencer's claims because you know they will show he's delusional like you - getting charges dismissed is not a "loss."
As for transparency, whether you believe in it or not, you aren't entitled to participate in Crystal's defense, nor to information generated by her attorneys, so you don't get it. Just because they refuse to indulge you doesn't mean it didn't happen.
"Had I had the ability to use the law library at the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh, I would've been able to cite relevant law and case lawng.[sic]"
Sid -- you keep throwing this out as if the Federal Courthouse is the ONLY law library available.
What is preventing you from using:
1) State Supreme Court law library
2) The county law library.
3) NCCU Law Library
4) UNC Law Library
All of these are open to the public
Dr. Harr, who would a concerned citizen ask for an investigation if your request for an investigation is not heeded this time based on the law that gives patients a right to receive medical services in a non-hostile, non-threatening, non-deadly environment?
Would that be done in a motion or a complaint?
Would it be civil or criminal?
Would it be the state or the federal government?
EXACTLY what office is responsible for the judicial oversight of an investigation and complaint based upon the incompletion and injustice of this case if that becomes the end result to the processes already in place?

Just because Sid hasn't been given the results of the investigation doesn't mean it wasn't done. That's been discussed numerous times here. Even the Defense expert agreed with the conclusions of Dr. Nichols (even if some errors were highlighted).
Are you really this clueless, or you just like playing along with the joke that is this blog?
"EXACTLY what office is responsible for the judicial oversight of an investigation and complaint based upon the incompletion and injustice of this case if that becomes the end result to the processes already in place?"
Sid doesn't know -- apparently he doesn't have access to the only library that can give him this information.
They always resort to sarcasm.
No, you just always accuse those you disagree with of sarcasm so you can ignore their points.
Sid is STILL bringing up Daye's "criminal record" even though it has been definitively explained to him why DISMISSALS are inadmissible. He does that with a lot, but dismiss the criticism as sarcasm and your vaunted Sid can still never be wrong, even when he is.
maybe if you stopped trolling, abusing, harassing, dissing, and generally discrediting everything he says and does - there would be no need for you to be so upset by him that you spend your every day trolling him and feigning great and grand victimization by his every thought and action
To me Sid's continual lawsuits, letters, flogs, blogs, etc. are in a way payback to Duke, Durham and the State of NC. The whole lacrosse mess was handled very poorly and the response to it from Duke, Durham, and NC has been basically lets move on, nothing to see. Sid is a burr in their side and they deserve this bad karma. Sid will never succeed here but is antics surely are noticed by the parties involved. I have to say also that his lawsuits are readable and sound lawyerly. But he has made a life of filing lawsuits so maybe you learn over time. I do not think I could however....
Actually their response was to:
a. destroy the mental health system - wait that was part of the plan for the lacrosse case - but that part has never stopped and continues throughout the nation and certainly in NC, and helped to fuel hatred and more discrimination and prejudice against the mentally ill (which was part of their plan ... to this day)
b. turn the nation into a bunch of duke supported rape mongers and women bashers - many times without most even realizing that's what was or is happening ... many got hurt ... and it's full steam ahead for that ship.
c. destroy the duke / durham judicial system even more with their lets destroy DA Cline with a bag of bones, etc., 'innocence' commission major media harrassment driven falsly frame and blame event - yet we are the heros even though we're not - games.
d. discredite the SBI and make them take blame for duke's continued political agendas.
e. Mr. Daye was killed by them and Ms. Mangum was blamed and framed for their malpractice ... in order for her to be falsly imprisoned and for them to continue the 'game' with her - and try to make the public think they were and still are Ms. Mangum's 'victims'.
So - actually - it has been full steam ahead hatred, revenge, corruption, and damn the rest type 'entertainment' and social/political control strategies and actions that have harmed many more - with malice and intent on duke's et. al.'s part.
But yes, it has all been done with a damn what the public or the patients think or how they get harmed by duke - because seriously - that is not any of 'their' concern nor their care - even though they may get paid for it to be for some reason or another - 'they' are well rewarded, or made to think they are, or are intimidated or threatened or told to shut up or else all so no-one will say any thang bout it (cept to help duke's cause where they can or shut up if they can't) - because duke still insists that all think their their great.
... that's the short list of what 'they've' done since the lacrosse case.

One reason I know that Woody Vann got a forensic pathologist Dr. Roberts to investigate is because he filed with the Court an application and order for payment for the investigation. Surely the defense attorneys would more likely than not have the Court order the State to pay for any investigation... There was no record in her chart other than the one for Dr. Roberts seeking payment for an investigation.
Also, the only discovery and evidence Mangum turned over to me was from the prosecution. There was nothing in her documents given to me that included anything obtained from defense attorneys... with the exception of the order for Dr. Roberts to be paid.
Are you aware of any investigation done by Mangum's attorneys on her behalf?
Kenny complains: "They always resort to sarcasm."
Kenny, you are correct. Lance's comment was sarcastic.
You have been highly critical of those posters who "resort to sarcasm" in their comments. You direct no criticism at those posters, such as Dr. Harr, whose comments arguably trigger that sarcasm.
Why is that?
In this particular case, Dr. Harr continues to complain that he has no access to the law library at the Federal courthouse. Lance and others have repeatedly informed Dr. Harr that several other law libraries in the area are open to the public. Others have noted that the Internet has a wealth of legal information, including thousands of cases.
Dr. Harr ignores this advice. He repeats the same complaint without modification. He lacks the common courtesy even to acknowledge this information, let alone to react to it with an honest discussion of why he believes it is not acceptable.
Dr. Harr's posts contain numerous additional examples of his failure to acknowledge facts. I cannot list them here.
One must reasonably conclude that Dr. Harr is either intellectually dishonest or one of the stupidest people alive.

Even if Young may have been found not guilty, that doesn't mean that his attorney performed substandardly... and it doesn't preclude Meier from trying to undermine his client's case.
Had Mangum's attorney fought hard with her interests being a priority, it is likely that there would have been a mistrial. (One juror who tried to convince other jurors before opening arguments would've undoubtedly voted to convict).

I believe the State Attorney General's Office would be the one to ask for an investigation. I would file it as a request, and ask that the agency do its job and investigate.
The State has a duty to the people to investigate instances of criminal misdeeds and malfeasances... and producing a fraudulent autopsy report is criminal. The people are also entitled to have access to the results of the investigation. There needs to be some oversight.
@ Break: Some, posters, here, are contemptuous of anyone who does not buy into the conventional wisdom about Crystal Mangum. They have unreasoned hatred towards this person, they only know from what Duke Lacrosse apologists have fed to them. One way they frequently show this contempt is by using sarcasm. Dr. Harr is seeking justice for Crystal and for all North Carolinians, on his time and at his own expense. Denying him the use of that Law Library creates a logistical impediment to his efforts. There are other options for him but they are not as convenient.

Have you been to Raleigh, NC? The Federal Courthouse ( New Bern Ave) and the Supreme Court Library (East Morgan) are less than 1/3 of a mile apart.
I'm sure that Sid could find a bus capable of getting him there. Or he could, you know, walk.
Moron.
FWIW, the NC Court System's FAQ specifically identifies the NC Supreme Court library ( the one on East Morgan) as the resource for ''an extensive collection of state (including other states) and federal law, periodicals, and law reviews"
Why this wasn't Sid's obvious first choice is, quite frankly, very confusing.
AG Cooper is running for election to Governor apparently. What are the chances that he will do anything about this case?
Is that part of why duke / durham justice system thinks it can continue to ignore the facts about Duke and the ME reports in this case - because AG Cooper won't do anything to stop the madness in duke / durham because he wants to be governor (not AG) - and duke pays too much for the votes it imparts to ignore THAT fact maybe?

Also, I beg to differ with you as my responses are sincere, direct, and although a few may contain a little humor, they are not sarcasm-provoking.
Answer me this, Break:
(1) Do you believe that the SBI should investigate the Nichols autopsy report and circumstances of Daye's death; and
(2) Do you believe the public is entitled to have the results of such an investigation -- and if not, why?

Thank you for the informative link to the Mangum in toterview with ABC-11 News. I was aware she was going to give a couple of interviews, but she never said with whom.
I believe that Meier pretty much threatened her against having Dr. Roberts testimony brought in. That is clearly because he did not want her testimony to implicate Duke University Hospital. Keeping Roberts out of the trial was pivotal in having Mangum convicted.
Meier is a turncoat attorney in this case and the autopsy report by Dr. Nichols is fraudulent. This is nothing new.
"Break, give me a reason why a non-lawyer Pro Se litigator in Federal Court should be denied access to the Federal Courthouse law library."

Sid wrote ...

That's because in First Degree murder cases, those requests can be ex parte and handled outside the Court, so that the prosecution cannot see who the Defense is hiring and try to make guesses. There were at least 3 other "experts" hired - the DV expert; the accident reconstruction expert; and the private investigator. That was obvious from the trial.
Again, just because no one shares this stuff with you doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Even if it's not right, the fact you recuse to actually do anything to help your case because you don't want to walk a few blocks is asinine.
The real reason you won't use another library is you know you have no case, and no legal basis for your claims, so rather than admit you couldn't find anything (or found things directly contradictory), you simply refuse to look and claim it's unfair.
And, no, Kenny, that's not sarcasm, that's a fact.
Sidney,
I still can't understand why you won't take Lance's advice and use the Supreme Court Library. I realize it's not quite as convenient as the Federal Courthouse Library, but it's still your best bet if you really want to win this case. Otherwise they'll just throw your suit out over any error you make.

Probably not ... Sid will still ignore it. If Sid actually listens to a post, then maybe, but I imagine he will ignore the kindness just as diligently as he ignores the sarcasm, because he knows he has no case, and so if he actually went to a library he'd lose an argument as to why he doesn't have legal authority - instead of saying he has no access to the tools needed to prove his case, he'd have to admit the legal authority shows he's wrong.
Sid never admits he's wrong, even when he is. He is still harping on not introducing Daye's dismissed criminal charges, even though he's wrong on that. (And many other things.)
Sidney,
Thank you for your reply.
I do not know why a government law library should limit access. However, given the availability of other libraries, I believe you are acting like a spoiled child. Rather than whine incessantly over the unfairness, you should have used another library.
I do not support a special investigation of the autopsy. You provide insufficient evidence to support one. I accept that Daye was given an esophageal intubation and concede that the autopsy and medical records were incredibly sloppy.
However, you have provided no evidence to counter your report that Roberts concluded orally that the autopsy is basically correct. The autopsy has been investigated, and you released the results. Roberts' oral report is sufficient.
Most importantly, you ignore a legal analysis that concludes that Crystal remains criminally responsible irrespective of an esophageal intubation resulting from medical malpractice or a pre-existing condition (alcoholism or DTs). Pretending that unhelpful case law does not exist does not help Crystal.
You refuse to acknowledge new information when it contradicts your conclusion and to adapt your arguments accordingly. As a result, you are an ineffective advocate.
I do not doubt your responses are sincere. I did not mean to suggest otherwise.
However, many of your arguments are moronic. Repeated moronic arguments provoke sarcasm.
A few examples:
1. Crystal is not responsibly for Daye's death because he was electively removed from life support.
2. Rae Evans directs the Carpetbagger Jihad, a vast conspiracy that targets Nifong, Crystal and their supporters for retribution.
3. Crystal was best served by representing herself against murder charges.
4. Meier's failure to introduce Daye's "criminal record" into evidence (despite it not being admissible) proves he conspired against her.
5. The failure in the lacrosse case to find DNA that matched the defendants and the discovery of DNA that matched unidentified males was not exculpatory.
I will provide additional examples if you respond honestly to these.
Sidney, you lose credibility when you make ridiculous arguments.
That is a lesson you, Kenny and Crystal should heed.
You go break ...
Are you the moronic statements blog monitor eh? Why don't you prove your accusations of moronic statements first? You expect everyone to say - hey yeah - the moronic blog monitor says it's moronic - so it must be. Yeah, well you can BE the moronic blog monitor in NC - but that doesn't make what you judge to be moronic actually moronic - so - yeah - BE it ... go for it ... yeah!
Except #4 has been proven, Sid just won't respond - how is failure to introduce totally inadmissible evidence proof of a conspiracy?
@ Break: 1. There is no nexus between Daye's death because of the medical mismanagement of his alcohol withdrawal symptoms and the self defence wound that Crystal inflicted on him. Welsh is simply not that broad. 2. It may not be a "vast conspiracy" but Evans and the trial lawyers are relentless in discrediting Crystal and former DA Nifong. The multi-year daily blog Duke Lacrosse Liestoppers is one example of this ongoing vendetta. 3 Crystal does need a experience Criminal Defence Lawyer to handle her case but it must be one who has her best interest at heart. Dr. Harr may not be a Lawyer but only the most jaundiced detractor believe that he is not genuine in wanting to get justice for Crystal. 4. Meier's defence of Crystal was half-hearted. Many Court appointed attorneys see their roster duties, as defenders, a necessary nuisance that takes them away from their more lucrative private practice. As unethical as this seems the result often is an inadequate defence. 5 The failure to find DNA of the three accused and their team-mates and the finding of DNA that did not match them was of course exculpatory for the charge of raping Crystal but until that DNA found was proven to be from individuals that were not present at the party, it can not be said definitively that no rape occurred there. After all Crystal's consensual sexual history could have easily been checked.

It's funny Kenny, you just can't admit Sid is ever wrong about anything. He's dead wrong about Daye's prior record and you still justify it.
And, even if a rape happened that night, since the victim ID'd the wrong people and was adamant about that, a conviction would be difficult if suddenly she changed her mind and said others did it (even with DNA), because changing stories destroy credibility.
But, just try it once:
Sid, you aren't perfect, you are in fact frequently wrong on a lot of things and this may be wrong on more.

"Break, give me a reason why a non-lawyer Pro Se litigator in Federal Court should be denied access to the Federal Courthouse law library."
Those are the rules, Sid -- like soliciting on Duke campus. You live with them or break them to your own detriment.
Give me a reason why you can't use the Supreme Court Law Library.
Supreme Poster, I don't argue that the rules state that a non-lawyer cannot use the law library at the Federal Courthouse. What I am trying to find out is the reasoning behind the law... other than to put a Pro Se litigant at a disadvantage. Like many laws and rules, it is legal, but not necessarily fair or just.
Also, for your edification,Duke does not have a rule against solicitation... only one that regulates it for companies on campus dealing with students. Besides handing out a business card and inviting the recipient to view a blog site is not solicitation.
Duke does have an anti-discrimination policy which it violated in going after me.

There was no record in her chart other than the one for Dr. Roberts seeking payment for an investigation.
That's because in First Degree murder cases, those requests can be ex parte and handled outside the Court, so that the prosecution cannot see who the Defense is hiring and try to make guesses. There were at least 3 other "experts" hired - the DV expert; the accident reconstruction expert; and the private investigator. That was obvious from the trial.
Again, just because no one shares this stuff with you doesn't mean it didn't happen.
If I am not mistaken, the domestic violence defense witness stated that she barely had time to go over the case... probably hired in the spur of the moment to try and give the appearance of substance to a vaccuous defense.
With regards to investigation, I was referring to someone who would look into specifics of the case. For example interviewing Larry O'briant, getting records from the clinic Mangum visited, interviewing girlfriends of Daye who had been abused, interviewing other Duke doctors, etc.
The DV witness and door frame witness contributions were negligible at best. Mangum's best witness, Dr. Roberts, was kept out of the trial by her turncoat attorney.

Break, I really find it hard to believe that you would not call for an investigation into the autopsy report and circumstances surrounding Daye's death.
First of all, during direct exam, Dr. Nichols twice stated that the spleen had been removed in the April 2, 2011 emergency surgery. This goes contrary to the operative report and his own autopsy report which gives the weight and description of the spleen. This is much more than sloppy work.
Answer me this: Was Daye's spleen present during the autopsy, or had it been removed prior?
Also, regarding Dr. Roberts, I never spoke to her personally. Mangum only told me that Dr. Roberts orally told her that the Nichols autopsy report is accurate. I believe that Dr. Roberts was lying to Mangum in order to mislead her into believing that a written report would be not advantageous... for the purpose of discouraging her from continually seeking a written report.
With regards to Rae Evans, she worked for a decade as an executive at CBS and surely has friends in high places in the media. She has expressed her vindictive attitude against Nifong publicly in an interview, and it is not a stretch to believe that media head honchos would help sate her appetite for vengeance with biased, skewed reporting.
Also, kenhyderal is correct. State v. Welch is far more restrictive than is suggested by commenters. Even jury instructions stated that an exception to liability for malpractice or medical negligence would be if the act (esophageal intubation) was the sole cause of death and that death would not have occurred had it not taken place. The esophageal intubation clearly is an intervening and the proximate cause of Daye's death.
By Judge Ridgeway's instructions, Mangum should not have been found guilty of first, second degree murder or any manslaughter charge.
"Also, for your edification,Duke does not have a rule against solicitation... only one that regulates it for companies on campus dealing with students."
Read your own words, Sid. In one sentence, you state that Duke does not have a solicitation policy and in the very next sentence you state what you believe the solicitation policy to be.
Now, just to be clear, the Duke Solicitation policy regulates more than just companies. it is designed for "...off-campus businesses, organizations or other entities that wish to visit campus and interact with members of its community." ["community" here encompasses Duke's student, staff, & faculty]
Your own website defines the Committee on Justice For Mike Nifong as "a grass roots organization...."
Further, the Duke Solicitation Policy defines solicitation as the "...act of interceding into a Duke community member's space in order to request information or communicate information about products, services, or events that are not related to Duke University or its educational mission "
Again, your own website states that it is for the purpose of "persuading the State Bar to...reinstate Mike Nifong's license to practice law"
This is a service to Mike Nifong (or to the state of North Carolina, if you prefer) that is not related to Duke University.
Consider yourself enlightened
" other than to put a Pro Se litigant at a disadvantage"
You're not a disadvantage if there are other resources readily available to you.
If you had use the other institutions and found them lacking, your argument would have merit.
Until then, your whining "...is a tale
told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing"
I find it very illuminating that Dr. Harr keeps asking why he is not entitled to use the federal court library but refuses to even acknowledge that there were other libraries he could have used.
The whole point of this discussion was that Dr. Harr's latest lawsuit raises claims over which the federal court has no jurisdiction. When I pressed him on that point, he said he couldn't resppond because he couldn't use the federal court's library. Which is a non sequitur of a response, because there are other libraries he could have used.
With regards to investigation, I was referring to someone who would look into specifics of the case. For example interviewing Larry O'briant, getting records from the clinic Mangum visited, interviewing girlfriends of Daye who had been abused, interviewing other Duke doctors, etc.
What do you think a Private Investigator did? Do you think they didn't interview witnesses and talk to them? You love to throw out all these allegations claiming corruption simply because no one has bothered to share their work with you.
So, there are 2 logical scenarios:
1. The experts that were on the case conducted the investigations they were hired to conduct, and just came to different conclusions on things than you and/or simply chose not to share them with you; or
2. Everyone else is corrupt and in on the fix, and only you know the truth, the whole trial, investigations, and all the rest was a vast charade, and the repeated comments to you from EVERYONE that your public release of information was harmful are all liars and wrong.
Also, regarding Dr. Roberts, I never spoke to her personally. Mangum only told me that Dr. Roberts orally told her that the Nichols autopsy report is accurate. I believe that Dr. Roberts was lying to Mangum in order to mislead her into believing that a written report would be not advantageous... for the purpose of discouraging her from continually seeking a written report.
Yes, because that is what hired experts do ... lie so they don't have to do the job they were hired for. It couldn't be because her conclusions, as she told Crystal, and Crystal told you, was that she agreed with Nichols on the cause of death even if there were issues.
Clearly, again, everyone else is corrupt and lying, and jeopardizing their own livelihood and careers, and only Sid is the one telling the truth.
Crystal now has Roberts' written report. If it is truly exculpatory, she can move for a new trial based on ineffective assistance of counsel. If she doesn't make such a motion and attach the report, it's a safe bet that the report is not exculpatory.

A Lawyer, according to Mangum's recent interview she was definitely in disagreement with Meier's strategy of suppressing the Roberts report. I'm not surprised that Meier pressured her into turning down Roberts' involvement in the trial.
Of course Mangum had ineffectual counsel... that's to be expected from a turncoat attorney whose priority is to protect Duke University and the medical examiner.
Odd, though, that if all that is true, she hasn't sent you the report Sid.
Of course, if it backs up what Crystal said it would (that she agrees with Nichols on the cause of death), I assume you'd just say Dr. Roberts was lying to avoid testifying.
As was noted - if the report really is exculpatory, it will come out. If it isn't, as every lawyer Mangum had stated, it won't.
And, the Roberts report, even if exculpatory, still leaves her guilty of some level of assault, either AWDWIKISI or AWDWISI. Self-defense is the only Guilty/Not-Guilty.
The "Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong" was formed because of what I perceived to be the excessively harsh, injust, and disparate treatment he received from the North Carolina Attorney General (Roy Cooper), and the North Carolina State Bar. It seems that since its inception, Mr. Nifong is the only prosecutor to be disbarred. According to an article by UNC law professor Rich Rosen, no other prosecutor has even been severely disciplined by the State Bar. An organization which has no compunction about disbarring attorneys (according to its own web site, during a ten year period 373 attorneys were disbarred).
The "Committee" was formed without Mr. Nifong's knowledge or consent. It acts independently and without input from the Nifong family. After initiating my crusade for justice on his behalf, I had the honor of meeting this decent, dedicated, family man, and his lovely family.
Let me make it clear that Mr. Nifong does not intend on practicing law again, does not really want his license to practice law in the State of North Carolina reinstated, and did not encourage me to work towards getting it. In other words, he is not going to get on his knees and beg the state, or hop through any hoops for the state's perverse amusement.
I firmly believe that his license was taken from him selectively and unjustly by the state, and that the state should take responsibility for its actions (including its wrongdoings). That is why the state should reinstate Mr. Nifong's license to practice law. It should do the right thing and make amends to him.

Dr. Harr:
If you are successful in your lawsuit, will it be possible for Crystal to sue Duke Hospital, Duke University, the medical examiner, Durham, the Durham Police Department, the Durham District Attorney, Judge Ridgeway, Crystals's attorney, her former attorneys, and Rae Evans for damages, including mental anguish, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.? kenhyderal also has stated that Crystal is entitled to sue other posters on this blog for libel and recover for damage to her reputation.

I have no intention of assisting Mangum with any legal matter in the future. I am focused on getting her conviction overturned and her release. She'll have to contact an attorney to seek damages.
I believe that Mangum has the right to sue just about anyone she wants, however, I do not see any legitimate claim against Duke University Hospital or Duke. I think her best litigatory Meier.
Problem with typing. In previous comment the last sentence should end: "Mangum's best litigatory target is Meier."

Hey, kenhyderal.
I agree that re-submitting
previous comments that I made can be annoying and confusing
and diverts from the topic.
I have the option to rail against it, but have chosen to embrace it by looking at it as reinforcing important messages I've made in the past.
I can't always remember what statements I made in the past and it can be problematic identifying them... although they might sound familiar.
Policing this blog site can take a lot of time and energy, and since my online time is limited when I'm at the library, it is just not a priority. Removing violators of the kenhyderal policy is easy to identify and correct, on the other hand.

As someone who is trying to help Mangum and is in position to do so, it is extremely frustrating that she would keep something as important as anything in writing by Dr. Roberts away from me.
I believe she decided to trust her attorneys who disparaged me and advised her to keep away from me. The Indy Week article about me was also effective in Mangum deciding to distance herself from me.
It is fortunate for her that she turned over prosecution discovery to me... otherwise, I would not be able to prove the reality of the conspiracy against her.
As far as Dr. Roberts goes, I seriously doubt that she would jeopardize her career and reputation by producing a false and fraudulent written report... especially that it is already apparent that Dr. Nichols' autopsy report contains major discrepancies with other medical records.

You have absolutely no evidence of anything improper and you are already encouraging her to sue. No wonder all your prior lawsuits get tossed out, you have no clue.
Any issues Crystal had with Meier will be addressed in her appeal, if the Appellate attorney thinks they have merit (of course, if they don't, you will just accuse that attorney of being corrupt), and the Court of Appeals will address them (and, of course, if they disagree with you, they will also be corrupt).

Although you might be beyond the reach of enlightenment, I am nonetheless pleased that you are at least entertained.
There is a big difference between my civil lawsuits and the criminal prosecution of Crystal Mangum -- which is nothing more than vendetta-driven based on a fraudulent autopsy report and trumped up charges.
My litigation is for the purpose of protecting the civil rights of all Tar Heelians against discrimination in any form, and to preserve the important rights of citizens to have their day in court. As things stand, major powers and corporations who are sued in civil courts can have complaints filed against them by ordinary Tar Heelians summarily dismissed... even when the complaints are meritorious as is mine and that of Brian Meehan.
When I file my civil complaints, I am fighting not only for myself but for all Tar Heelians, including you... so that you will not face discrimination and that if you seek to redress a wrongdoing that the courthouse doors will be open for you.

You have no standing to sue on behalf of "all Tarheelians."

So yes, you are wasting the time of the courts by filing repeated lawsuits which the law requires the courts to dismiss.

If yours was meritorious it wouldn't be getting summarily dismissed. The problem is your lawsuit is a joke with no legal basis, as you know, but you pretend you don't because you refuse to research it, pretending that because the Federal library is closed to you you are stuck.
People successfully sue Duke and others every day. It's not a plot against you, you are just incompetent.
Dr. Harr,
I have psoriasis. I am among the 2-3% of the world population has it. It is a skin condition with a genetic component (thanks mom and dad). It means that I have white plaques on my skin that itch and shed flakes. I shed so much that I have to sweep my floors daily. I have plaques mainly on my arms and legs, but they can appear anywhere (some locations linked from this page are NSFW. I'm lucky, I don't have psoriatic arthritis which affects about a third of all people with psoriasis. People stare at me or pretend not to stare at me in public. I wish they would just ask me what it is. It isn't contagious. Sometimes people ask if I have a bad sunburn or a regular burn. Little kids ask about my boo boos. Dogs lick my legs. There are several different ways to treat psoriasis including steroids, light treatment, injectable antibodies, and shampoos but it is a chronic condition. One treatment was recently withdrawn from the market because of lethal side effects. There are groups for people who have psoriasis. As with many medical conditions, you sometimes get unwelcome suggestions on how to cure it. When I used to work in a hospital environment, the pathologists showed me what it looks like under a microscope.
That sounds quite unpleasant. What medications are you currently taking?
Is it getting better, or worse?
One of the worst things about all this harm with Duke since at least the lacrosse case, is that Duke professes to be leaders of professionally esteemed experts in the fields that the public continually watches Duke maliciously manipulate and corrupt and use to harm others with and to coverup their initial harms, etc.
These very real professions that have life or death impact on those who get victimized for being in the way of Duke's professed professinally esteemed expert-ness, (or anything along that nature where the victim stands up for themselves against 'Duke's'harm, or are Duke's target for harm), are the same professions consistently in the news showcasing Duke's intentional malicious malipulation for their own benefit at negative consequences and costs to the public in general.
It is too obvious to ignore, and yet, the people who do ignore the situation are those whose jobs it is, (who get paid and hold the position of responsibility and power), to stop the harm for the public because they are beholden to Duke for votes or expert advice, or know full well Duke's true wrathful nature, etc., etc.
Therefore, the public must protest the harm for all - since all are harmed - and demand that those with the power and responsibility to stop Duke's harmful actions do so - for all.
You keep prattling on about these real harms Duke inflicts and the revenge it takes out on people it disagrees with. But when asked, you, like Sid, just ignore the questions.
Can you provide some specific examples of Duke intentionally acting in a malicious way to harm people? Show some evidence (and no, saying Daye isn't evidence, there is no evidence that Duke did anything intentional). Give us a list of concrete examples. You say it's widespread, and affects thousands. Just give us 10.

Thank you for the informative comment about psoriasis. I wish you the best with your treatment for it. It can be a very debilitating disease.

The big picture is that your lawsuit is a joke, and a cry for attention. If you were serious about your lawsuit, you would continue to note the unfairness of not being able to use the Federal Library (because that is unfair), but would then not simply refuse to do any research on your case at the readily available resources/libraries (including one within short walking distance of the Federal one).
However, instead you refuse to do any legal research on your case (because you know it would show you are subject to dismissal), and continue to pretend the world is conspiring against you, when in fact they are just following the law.

Yes, but your suit complains about harms done to other people (e.g., Crystal Mangum). You have no "standing" (look it up) to bring such a claim.
Mangum's interview shows yet again....just how absolutely unwilling she remains....in terms of taking responsibility for her behavior. Still playing the poor black victim of the great white conspiracy game, still blaming everybody else for her own screw-ups, still lying, still bullshitting. I am so glad this woman is in prison...

First, there is no evidence of a fraudulent autopsy report. The ME actually examined Reginald Daye and reported his observations. No one has produced anything to suggest that as an eye witness he is in error. That's a difficult problem to overcome. Certainly the defense' IME physician saw nothing to indicate that there was fraud.
Second, Sid is always so certain of his statements of the law. But the truth is, he knows nothing. For example he might not be so certain that "The State has a duty to the people to investigate instances of criminal misdeeds...." If he were to resort to the always available wikipedia he could read Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748, 125 S. Ct. 2796, 162 L.

He might discover that the constitution does not impose a duty on the police or any government agency to investigate. Of course that would require some thought on Sid's part.

Crystal has no criminal responsibility in the death of Reginald Day. The Jury got it wrong. When you are completely innocent you have nothing to take responsibility for. She should, steadfastly maintain your innocence and work to achieve justice. Law is such a despised profession because they prefer deal making to seeking the truth
oops that should read her innocence

My lawsuit is not a class action one, A Lawyer, as you seem to infer. I filed on my own behalf as an aggrieved party. My motivation, however, is not strictly self-serving as I filed for the purpose of my actions benefitting all Tar Heelians in the long run.

The relevance in referencing Mangum's case is to show the State's and the public's attitudes towards Mangum, Harr, and others considered on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case. Mistreatment of Mangum and Harr by the State and Court is linked by their connection to the Duke Lacrosse case. Brian Meehan can also be included in this group as his treatment by the Court was unfair in summarily dismissing his complaint against the lab for which he was director.

Hey, Walt.
Thanks for the reference to the Castle Rock v. Gonzales case, however, I do not believe they are that similar. In that case, Jessica Gonzales sued the city and police of Castle Rock, CO for not enforcing a restraining order. That is quite different than County and State agencies refusing to investigate alleged crimes.
Further, whether the County or State has a legal duty technically to investigate reported crimes, the people believe that such a duty does, in fact, exist.
Oh, as far as my alleged tab of one G, I am afraid I am devoid of sufficient edification necessary for comprehension. Further enlightenment is required.

To date I have not received a response from Walt or any other commenter to satisfactorily explain how Dr. Nichols could weigh and describe an organ at autopsy that had been allegedly removed during surgery eleven days earlier. I am still waiting for an answer that makes sense.

People "believe" a lot of things that are incorrect, like they don't understand you can be fired at any time for any reason, or for no reason, so long as not discriminatory. That doesn't mean they can sue on it.
You clearly admit that your lawsuit is feckless, I do hope that now that you are admitting that such a duty may not exist, but you are proceeding because you "believe" it does, you stop your waste of resources and money and drop your ridiculous lawsuits.

Anonymous, thank you for trying to enlighten Walt with respect to the rules governing the "Enlighten Sid" contest. Also, it should be kept in mind that in the event a winner is declared, payment will be made once it has been verification that James Arthur Johnson received his $20,000 reward for solving the crimes against Wilson teen Brittany Willis.

I am in agreement with part of your comment... that "people believe a lot of things that are incorrect." That is because many people without much knowledge of the law are the very ones most likely to believe that laws are moral and fair.
Painful reality is that many laws are unjust and immoral, and are legislated with the purpose of enriching and protecting the wealthy and privileged classes... the majority of which make up legislators themselves.
When the rich and powerful cannot get around the law, then State and media have the option of ignoring them. That is what has happened in Mangum's case... as well as in my case.
Specifically in my case, it was apparent to the Court that I would prevail in my discrimination lawsuit against Duke, so it was determined to deprive me of my day in court.
In Mangum's case, investigative government agencies refuse to investigate the Nichols autopsy report and circumstances of Daye's death.
So, not only is Harr an asshat, he's also a deadbeat.
Walt,
I'm not saying that you shouldn't try to enlighten Sid. Note however that there is absolutely no chance of receiving payment, since Johnson is never going to receive the Willis case reward -- a condition for Sid to pay up.
Specifically in my case, it was apparent to the Court that I would prevail in my discrimination lawsuit against Duke, so it was determined to deprive me of my day in court.

Dr. Harr,
I am a 46 year old male. I have had gout for around 5 years which I was successfully managing with black cherry capsules (2 x 500mg per day). My gout attacks were occurring about twice a year until recently. I was diagnosed with hypertension, and prescribed metoprolol succinate 100mg, once a day, which has successfully brought my blood pressure under control. However in 3 months I have had 3 gout attacks. Can the metoprolol cause the increased frequency? Thanks for your help!
Hilarious!!!!!

Regarding my discrimination lawsuit... consider this: if my case were so frivolous why would Duke University not simply go to court with me, let the jury decide, and be done with it? Instead Duke is putting all of its efforts into keeping the case out of Court. It's as simple as that.

Thank you for sharing your interesting medical history, however I specialized in emergency medicine, not rheumatology. Therefore, I would suggest that you consult with the physician who prescribed the beta-blocker to you. I wish you the best with your gout.

Ignoring the concerns of an engaged citizen is neither appropriate nor responsible behavior.

Your case was legally frivolous, meaning that there were no facts the jury could decide that would affect the claim one way or the other. No matter what facts the jury found, Duke would still be entitled to win as a matter of law.
It would be like if the D.A. indicted you for eating a banana on Thursday: you would not need a jury trial to decide if you really ate the banana or if it was on a Thursday or a Wednesday; the judge would throw the case out before trial because eating a banana is not a crime.
There was a lady on our block when I was a kid who thought the local government was trying to kill her dog by putting rat poison in her garden hose. She wrote countless letters, ranted in public meetings, filed lawsuits, even went on a local radio talk show with "proof" that secret government agent were sneaking into her yard.
Turned out,as I recall, that she did not have a dog....a live one at least.....because her pet had been dead about ten years...having been run over. In short, she was a crackpot with delusions and paranoia.
I sincerely doubt the local government had a duty to respond to her allegations, investigate her claims over and over, etc. Secret agents killing phantom dogs, crop circles, black helicopters, grand conspiracies against Mangum, .......all a "fig newton" of asshat's pathetic little mind.

It could well be that many Motions to dismiss are filed because the complaint by the plaintiff might be frivolous. However, it is just as likely that a defendant would file a motion to dismissed in hopes of depriving the plaintiff of his day in court... thereby winning by default. The latter explains accurately the situation in my discrimination lawsuit against Duke University. Duke is desperately seeking a summary judgment because it is aware that it is unlikely to prevail if the case went before a fair-minded jury.

If you're suing only for yourself, you can't ask the court to order an investigation into Mr. Daye's death. You have no standing to seek such relief.
Beyond the standing issue, an investigation into Daye's death was already conducted. It concluded that Mangum was responsible.
So, Sid isn't suing for an investigation into Daye's death at all. Rather, he is suing to have the results of the investigation changed to further his agenda. That is not about to happen and Sid is going to lose badly. Again.

A Lawyer, you may be correct technically as I am a layperson without legal training. However, I believe that the results from an investigation into Daye's death and the Nichols autopsy report would reinforce my assertions that a conspiracy against those considered to be on the wrong end of the Duke Lacrosse case does, in fact, exist.
A judge may very well rule against my Motion to Compel... however, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

The investigation into Daye's death by Medical Examiner Nichols is a badly flawed and unreliable document which is contradicted by hospital records.
What I seek is another independent investigation into Daye's death as well as an investigation into the Nichols autopsy report.
I seek the truth about these issues, and the truth is a lot different than what is presented in the autopsy report.
This says it all:
"A judge may very well rule against my Motion to Compel... however, nothing ventured, nothing gained."

Sid:

No. If you were seeking truth you would go where the facts, evidence and law lead you. Instead of forming a conclusion based on the facts, you started with a belief and now are desperately seeking facts to justify it. As you will soon learn it does not work that way.
The facts shown as discrepancies between the autopsy and medical reports are very obvious as outlined by Dr. Harr in his flogs. The judge stated that medical malpractice could be held as sole cause of death in this case, so therefore, that avenue of cause of death needs to be fully investigated and adjudicated in order for the trial to be about true justice and facts, not just a crusade to 'get Ms. Mangum back' by duke inc. & crazies company.

Fortunately I was given access to prosecution discovery by Mangum. It includes the autopsy report which clearly shows discrepancies with medical records (especially the operative report). Also, the statements Dr. Nichols made under oath contradict his own autopsy report... unless you can explain how his autopsy report included the description of the spleen which he claimed was removed during surgery eleven days prior.
Can you explain that?

It seems that is one of the major problems with this trial: that the judge stated malpractice could be considered the entire proximate cause of the death of Mr. Daye, but the ME based the autopsy report and even made a statement to the fact on the stand that his understanding of the law was not based on how the law was to be interpreted for this case in the judge's opening statements. The autopsy report is not based on the medical reports either, and is erroneous in obvious critical ways, so basically, everything the ME did is questionable and in stark contrast to all the other facts and laws presented in this case.

Filed in the mid-1990s, Ms. Mercer, a female, filed a discrimination lawsuit against Duke University complaining that she was cut from the Duke men's football team because she was a female. Ms. Mercer was allowed her day in court, although I would be inclined to believe that her suit was frivolous. But she prevailed, winning her case.
A cheesecake on head lawsuit sounds pretty frivolous to me, but if Ms. Mercer can win her case, then you and your cheesecake has a chance too.

The medical examiner hindered the jurors by keeping from them the true circumstances of Daye's death... claiming that some vague infection or catastrophic illness secondary to the stab wound caused Daye's death. He concealed the truth regarding the esophageal intubation and Crystal's attorney Meier worked with him to keep it hidden from jurors.
You're absolutely correct that the screw-ups by Dr. Nichols with help from Meier deprived Mangum of justice and allowed her to be convicted.
ALL of the autopsy reports in this state probably need to be reexamined based upon what is demonstrated by the MEs and the justice system in this case. That's ALL the deaths in all the hospitals, especially the mental hospitals in case the MEs have a thing against mental patients, and all blacks, and all women. Egad, no wonder it is just ignore, ignore, ignore in this state if the level of the criminal fraud and corruption that could exist is found to be true based on the suspicions brought to light in this case. Where is the innocence commission when ya really need them?
Either Mr. Daye's dead body was mutilated by Duke, or the ME did an autopsy on the wrong person and thought it was Mr. Daye, or the ME is lying to cover up Duke's malpractice. Could be all three, but seriously, this is a fairly sick scenerio.
Mr. Cooper's election for governor is when? Can he ignore this case for this long, and keep Ms. Mangum in jail while he does so (all for another election)? At what point is enough enough?
"Ms. Mercer was allowed her day in court, although I would be inclined to believe that her suit was frivolous"
Well Sid, you do seem the expert on frivolous lawsuits, so I'm inclined to believe you.
Already the current duke oriented governor is being held to task on the environmental destruction of NC by duke's energy endeavors, like the current coal ash dumping into the Dan River. If Mr. Cooper hopes to win against the current duke oriented governor, he too will have to be duke oriented? Or will duke try to take advantage of this state even more under the current governor to the point where the harm becomes so obvious and destructive to the state that enough who vote are made aware of the truth of the politics of duke in this state and will vote against duke oriented political nominees? Either way, you will have two duke oriented governors running against each other if the current governor runs for reelection. Does not bode well for NC based on history to date either way.
If you look at the problems with deaths caused by medicine, etc., in history and wonder how the pharma & co. could have done what they did and got/get away with 'it' for so long, one could assume that a corrupted ME system in a state with massive pharma & co. presence and holdings could be deemed an asset to the endeavors of those whom deem their profits and monetary losses from research efforts more important than the lives of those whom consume their products or end up as a research victim. An AG who supports the industry over the safety and well-being of the citizen consumers of the state in which he is elected by its citizens to protect them against the industry would also be advantageous to the endeavors of the pharma. & co. research and monetary efforts that actually prove to be deadly to its consumers.

You are absolutely correct. The integrity of the State's entire justice system is brought into question by the Nichols fraudulent autopsy report and the State's agencies refusal to investigate.
A.G. Roy Cooper should investigate this, but I feel his position on this issue has been laid out by the Powers-That-Be... which he feels will be able to put him into office.
I much prefer Cooper as governor than McCrory or any other Republican... and I feel that they would have acted no different against Mangum than Cooper. The media has morphed Mangum into political toxicity.

Quasimodo, one of "Donna" Rae Evans' cugines, over at the Duke Lacrosse Liestopper's Blog is castigating Duke President Broadhead for not helping a freshman student who has resorted to performing in pornographic films in order to pay for her college tuition. He's the same poster who was contemptuous of Reverend Jesse Jackson for offering such assistance to Crystal Mangum who resorted to exotic dancing to support herself and her family while also attending University.
Very amusing, Kenny. You're really proving what a great debater you are.

Daye did NOT have a lengthy criminal record. LIE, Harr. The domestic charge against Daye was DROPPED. LIE, Harr.
You infer that Daye was somehow a "criminal" because he possessed brass knuckles. Hmmm, then according to that hair brained logic, Mangum is surely a world class whore.......because there were multiple photos of her (and a video) posted on line, showing her straddling a chair (in VERY scant clothing) on an escort service site. The "Bunny Hole" site. Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck......Yep, it's a duck, right? Walks, acts, looks, talks like a whore......Yep, it's a whore.
A Lawyer is not coming over to your silly "side", asshat. A Lawyer is once again pointing out the obvious.......
Sid -- You're rather fond of asking questions without ever answering the questions previously posed to you. So I'll ask again:
Why can't you use the State Supreme Court Library?
If I am not mistaken, A Lawyer, you were slamming me over the frivolity of my case. Seems like you're changing gears.
Not at all. I pointed out that Ms. Mercer's lawsuit was based on a statute (Title IX), whereas yours is based on nothing but your own ideas of what the law should be. That is certainly a frivolous position; Congress makes the laws, not you.

The following is posted online for the State Supreme Court Library:
"Supreme Court Library
supreme, court, library
The North Carolina Supreme Court Library in downtown Raleigh is open between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (except state holidays). Access to the facility is restricted to "users" and "authorized visitors" under Supreme Court Library Rules. "Users" must show either state employee identification or N.C. State Bar number in order to gain access to the Justice Building; "authorized visitors" must present a completed visitor authorization form. Staff of the library may issue a visitor's card when the information contained in the completed visitor authorization form is confirmed.
Staff of the Library may be reached by telephone at 919-831-5709, by email, or by U.S. Mail at the following address: NC Supreme Court Library, 500 Justice Building, 2 East Morgan Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-1428.
The print holdings of the Library may be searched through its catalog. For an introduction to North Carolina legislative history, users may consult this primer."
Sid you are correct. The Supreme Court Library is no longer a public library (this is a recent change - so some of the websites still list it as such).
The NC Legislative Library (I think that's the name -- it's the one at the corner of Salisbury and Lang streets), is open to the public, as is the law library at UNC Chapel Hill.
FYI - You would've gotten the information about other law libraries open to the public if you'd bothered to call the Supreme Court Library.
Lance( the inquisitor) said: "Sid -- You're rather fond of asking questions without ever answering the questions previously posed to you. So I'll ask again"...........Lance, forever, asks superficial and irrelevant questions and then harps on interminably, demanding an answer. But, hypocritically, he ignores questions posed to him. I'll give him credit, though, when he got his answer he did give a qualified apology.

OH,
the master debater is back again! Let's run away before he beats us!
Kenhderal- One of Sid's key claims is that his inability to access a law library has put him at a disadvantage. I was wrong about the Supreme Court library, and readily admitted it when I found out.
I also did Sid the favor of identifying two alternatives.
What have you done to assist Sid in his search for legal resources?
Incredible, 24 hours without a comment?
Correction, 48 hours without a comment.
When you look at where the coal ash ponds are located - you really have to question what duke is doing even more than before. There is one so close to major river leading out into highly populated shore area in Wilmington that is major draw for many in NC in USA that any major rain event down there (like a 100 year flood) would seemingly destroy that very important NC environment and others like it by the ocean currents, etc.. Put a defensive line of oil drilling, huge mindwill like projectiles and sludge from fracking and hogs with deadly viruses washed into all the rivers - and that probably would NOT be THE place to be after, during, and maybe even before a huge rain / hurricane type event. Egad! ... but the tsunami caused by the oil drilling will clean the whole thing up and dump it further inland ... the end.
You understand that Duke Energy and Duke Power are completely unrelated, right? They both have Duke in the name but are otherwise two completely separate entities. Or are you so paranoid you see the word Duke and just freak out?
duke energy and duke power are different how (beside the name? you know the ol' saying: if it walks like a duke and talks like a duke ... must be a duke ...
So your paranoia is based on a name, not an actual organization? Or are you mistrustful of all big organizations? Is UNC as evil as Duke, or is it really the name? Good thing you don't live in Europe, they have Dukes all over the place.
Doesn't matter because the effect of what is being done in that name in the form of corruption and harm is what i am talking about actually.
Get real. Yeah - it's all about duke for you - no other things matter - right?
For most it is about the rivers, oceans, drinking water, safety from earthquakes and other man-made disasters, freedom from medical malpractice (intentional or not), etc., etc., etc.
The name of duke just happens to be associated - not sure of the history of it all though - but if you look closely - the effect of the corruption and harm on politics and lives of many are all the same (in that name and in that manner).
I'm not the one who said it was all about Duke, you did. You really are delusional if you think that was anyone else tying Duke University to the Coal Ash issue. Of course corruption is a problem, and of course it needs to be cleaned up. Our politics is bought and paid for - YOU are the one who irrationally blames Duke University for EVERYTHING, even things that they have nothing to do with, and you accuse me of doing that? Put your tinfoil hat back on!
i just said duke and YOU automatically assume I mean Duke University and get yourself into a self-righteous duke is great how dare you harm my dukeness ego and blah, blah, blah ... you're scum attitude and behavior
you seriously do that - however - it is a common duke 'thang'
why do duke people do that repeatedly? Is it the $200,000 plus tuition, or what?
Now duke wants all their customers to pay to clean up the coal ash ponds so that they can continue to make their billions in profits instead of investing their profits back into their own business in order to follow the laws that mandate that they be responsible for their own environmental hazardous waste that they ultimately incur billions from the public, including the costs of health services when the public gets sick from their environmental hazardous waste products, etc., etc., etc.
Sound typical? How do the people demand that duke's abuse of NC and it's citizens stop and get their voices heard above the billions of dollars and the continued ongoing harm of the people and the environment? What does it take to make people like that listen and actually do the right thing for a change?
Again, 2 completely different companies. Duke University, which owns Duke University Medical Center which the people on this blog relentlessly attack, and Duke Energy, which is completely unaffiliated with Duke University, which should be attacked, because it bought and paid for our governor, but since it has nothing to do with Mangum, doesn't really fit nicely into the paranoia here, yet somehow the two companies/entities are getting conflated because of the word Duke ...
No wonder the people on here (with some exceptions) still believe Sid and think he makes sense, they are clueless.
the same duke family, as with the name, is involved
get real
who do you think got the gov. elected anyway?
who do you think is supposed to hold duke accountable for the harm they cause eh?
If you read my post, I note that they bought and paid for the Governor. Can you not read in addition to a knee-jerk anti-Duke reaction? The Duke family helped found things, but don't continue to have significant involvement in either entity.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!!!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Actually, this is more of an update... I have finished drafting and narrating my newest flog. It should be uploaded by next weekend.
Also, I am thinking of differentiating my flogs from other flogs... In the future a Sidney Harr flog will be referred to as a "shlog." Hope that this does not cause too much confusion.
Is this going to have anything new, or just a complete and total rehash of your previously debunked and incorrect issues?
To the evil duke troll who does nothing BUT troll in evil duke knee jerk ways - altho i did note your newfound ability to not troll for 2 days - yeah for you: blah
What's your newest shlog bout Dr. Harr?
In the future a Sidney Harr flog will be referred to as a "shlog."
Dr. Harr, should we take your new terminology as recognition that you finally understand the value of your comments?
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shlog
Why is Duke ALWAYS in the news?
These are out of state students for the most part who look like crazy smurfs - and the public is supposed to think what about it? I mean, when the public is CONSISTENTLY made to feel like a second hand citizen worthy only of environmental hazards, constant harrasment by rape mongers, loss of services due to duke's interjection into, corruption of, and profitering from the public systems, hazards from their medical malpractices and corrupted medicines, and loss of an equal and noncorrupt judicial system that affects the lives of all - all by an organization mascoted by DUKE's demons and crazy blue smurfs - something has seriously got to be done to change this situation for the better for all.
oi
... oh yeah - and trolls that jump into a fit if you complain ...
jump evil duke troll
jump
Usually when duke is involved in any venture it is NO LONGER (seems it sorta used to be tho) ok - now we'll get some reasoned outcomes and results ... no
it's: who are the victims, how bad did they get hurt, was duke able to pick themselves off the floor after they stopped laughing, how much money are they making, who did they corrupt, what lies did they tell, who did they rape, what fights did they start, who did they harm this time ... what's it going to cost the public to fix their mess after they finally admit to it, when will someone get them to admit to and correct their errors, who died ... ???
THAT is the way it is with duke now
bunch of blue smurfs screamin' "orphan" at a kid who's parents just died cuz they just gotta be crazy ... never will forget that
I don't care much for Duke either. However, that doesn't excuse Mangum.
yeah ... well i was a talkin bout evil blue demons and smurfs and such ...
do all bb teams win their games with a group of obnoxious evil blue devil smurfs - or just duke?
is their team ever harrassed by a group of say: purple vikings with horned helmets?
just wondering
Dr. Harr - do you actually think it is justice if the people are forced to be their own lawyers, even in felony murder cases in durham because of duke?
THAT is the problem. Would you actually advocate for people to do that if it wasn't durham, duke, or Ms. Mangum for that matter?
if you do not think duke sukes big time due to how they have messed up theirs and everyone's elses health services - and due to their attitude about the expendability of people in general (at their hands)... you are just like them ... evil
Duke didn't even take responsibility for what they did or raise issue with discrepancies with the autopsy report which were apparent.
The differences in the wound reported from Dr. Nichols and from duke were huge enough to effect the trial negatively and wrongly - which was very obvious.
Anyone who thinks that was a fair trial should be subjected to the same thing - then asked again if they thought it was fair.
It is a huge problem that no one knows the facts of this case in regards to duke's and the ME's services and involvement in the discrepancies and malpractice, since they were not presented and questioned at the trial. It is sickening to know duke expects to get away with this too, and watch how they 'do it'.
It is apparent they do not actually give a hoot what people think of them.
If you were to need duke health services knowing what they have done in this case, would you ask each and every person you came into contact with and/or seek some kind of verification from any other who may affect your health at duke, (insisting that they look you straight in the eye and fill out an affidavit or something), what are your moral opinions about the killing of Mr. Daye? THEN, would you take time to consider their responses carefully before you ever let them put a blood pressure cuff on you or stick a needle in your arm to draw blood or sign their paperwork accepting their services, etc.? ???
How does a person deal with this latest outrage by duke AND still accept their medical services? ???
Would that be considered child endangerment if a parent who duke had issues with took their child (or was taken) to duke for medical services in light of this current case?
Like Ms Mangum now, would it be considered child endangerment if one of her children were taken to duke for medical services - say - if they cut themselves with a knife chopping an onion or something - since they may become dukes victim if duke wanted to try to pin child abuse or murder charges on Ms. Mangum or her children's caretakers as well?
Now whenever someone from duke or with duke leanings or conflict of interest testifies or holds a position of judicial standing in court, their testimony or involvement can be questioned based on the possibility that their answers or judgements might stem from fear of duke's reprisal against them or their family if they testify truthfully against duke in anyway. Including in this case.
The comments and attitudes displayed here that hold so much hatred for Ms. Mangum, everyone around her, and anyone like her are just mere examples of the same attitudes and decisions and life destroying consequences that are seen in the communities effected by duke's policies, politics, health services and management, comments and attitudes and practices.
This latest case is just an example of the same treatment many receive from duke.
Why do you think the lawyers won't put a stop to Duke's evil ways in Durham and for NC and the USA ... and just keep sitting there watching the mess get worse, and even instigating and being a part of it?
Anyone's ties to duke magically and by law appear as soon as they step foot in the vicinity of duke's mandatory emergency medical services.
If the safety and well being of your own life does not a create a conflict of interest - than conflict of interest is not well thought out nor adequately defined - to say the least.
yes, and duke can't say they provide health services and then turn around and kill people for their own benefit or pleasure either - can't have it both ways right?
You are just picking at straws to find some way to go your happy way and think all is well at duke and you'll be ok there - just something to complain about and feel vindicated about Ms. Mangum - since you have no idea what people think just because they post here.
Laws and facts change all the time - they themselves may stay the same - but perceptions and applications of the same change.
How does someone actively alter the application of a law in the middle of a case, or at a trial?
Are the processes to do such a thing different depending upon whether in prelim case work, the trial, or appeals and to differing levels?
At what level or process of the court system of any particular case can the differing applications and interpretations of a law be legally applied and/or challenged in any case?
Isn't what happened in that trial illegal as far as duke is concerned, since they did not take responsibility for their own malpractice, and if they did, they further harmed Ms. Mangum and Mr. Daye and their families by not insuring that the medical examiner and prosecution were well aware of this fact, as it was favorable to the defendant, and would have helped the Dayes and Mangums in insuring a less stressful grieving and trial period for the Mangum/Daye case.
That is why I dislike duke in part - they do these things that are malpractice or illegal by law - then try to get away with it by corrupting everyone and the system - and then sit there and let everyone else sacrifice and suffer from their mistakes - then laugh straight in everyone's face if they complain (even if they don't cuz duke gets their kicks and thrills on the legal battle front and win at all cost sports and political fields as well).
A lot to dislike - too much - too much to agree with anyone who doesn't have a problem with what duke just did in this case and to ever trust them again for anything other than harming others (and themselves).

If Duke's medical malpractice did not effect Ms. Mangum, Mr. Daye, or the community negatively and duke had nothing to hide - then why did the ME misrepresent what Duke says in their medical reports to place more weight on the stab wound and less on the complications which actually killed Mr. Daye due to medical malpractice; why did Dr. Roberts have to be 'forced' by the judge at Ms. Mangum's insistance against the lead of her lawyer of only two months to produce a written autopsy report which was not produced until the last day of the trial - even though she asked for the written report for @year - so no time to prepare for nor question it; why did all her lawyers and the DA's office refuse to raise the issue in a way in which the issue was presented fairly to the jurors and the defense, and the public; why didn't the defense lawyer question duke at the trial; and why didn't duke question the discrepanices between the reports themselves?
Everything that was done in that case and trial was done to keep hidden what Duke actually did to kill Mr. Daye. Why is that if it didn't matter to the charge and sentencing?
Does duke think their reputation is more important than professionally and responsibly handling their own malpractice and medical environment in such a way as to retain trust by the public? All they have done is place more doubt on their professionalism and ethics by what they did or didn't do legally and professionally in this case.
They will let the issues in this case stay under the rug if at all possible apparently - THAT is illegal - since legally they are responsible for what they do and have done - more so for most than Ms. Mangum since most don't rely on her to save their lives when medically needed, or to provide legal and professional advice and direction, etc.
Makes no professional sense at all.
That's about as fracked up of a case and trial as I have ever seen - to have the people who actually murdered a person knowingly sit right here or there in the trial - and laugh - point fingers - and grin when another person takes the blame - while everyone watches - knowing full well that could be anyone in the defendants' hot seat - and the murderer is probably killing a goodly sum of people that day and everyday in a continuance of their unchecked and uncontrolled murderous, unethical, and celebrated medical malpractice, while supporting in major ways the government forcing the entire nation to pay for their illegal and deadly services
duke has ruined NC and is working on the USA and world
they apparently do it as sport and on purpose now
they ARE the evil mongering rage that torments this land
they are the force behind the corruption of NC and the exploitative harm to many, including children, infants, the elderly, the ill, the disabled, women, young boys - family, friends, enemies and collegues alike
they are really, really evil
The paucity of jobs in America is in large measure due to jobs being outsourced or manufacturing set up overseas where there is an abundance of a cheap workforce. It increases the bottom line for the companies, however it also increases the number of unemployed Americans because these jobs are lost. But that is of no concern to the avaricious company bigwigs.
Another way corporations increase their bottom line at the expense of the number of people employed is through the merger of competing companies. The top executives in these deals usually make out like bandits, while many of the workers whose jobs are now redundant, are let go. In addition to a more streamlined staff with fewer workers, the newly forged company will be on the road towards becoming a monopoly, having one less competitor. This is good for big business, but bad for the consumer. Once a business has obtained the status of being a monopoly, the stage is set for it to exploit the many dependent upon its products and services… no competitive pricing to prevent price gouging.
No doubt you are wondering how Republican candidates hope to remain in power when 80% of the population is markedly under-represented in wealth distribution statistics. They get the poor and disenfranchised to vote for them by using the foundation of magicians’ tricks and illusions… misdirection. They misdirect the public’s attention with other petty issues lacking substance and value. For example, instead of addressing the problems of a lack of jobs, economic disparity, the rise in homelessness, and the increased numbers of families falling into poverty, the Republicans concentrate their efforts on the following: passing a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage; requiring photo IDs for voting; setting up roadblocks to a woman’s right to get an abortion while reducing funding for the valuable services provided to the poor by Planned Parenthood; repealing the state’s Racial Justice Act; and forcing those on public assistance to submit to drug testing.
I think the anonymous poster from 12:00 pm to 7:05 pm has bee shlogged too many times.
So says "Anonymous" at 7:43. I wish posters were required to use a user-name. I'm assuming Anonyous @ 7:43 has concluded, based on the content and writing style, that all the proceeding posts were written by the same person.
hey - thanks

When one's opinions and beliefs fail to comport with real world experience, there are two responses:
A sane person will adjust their opinions and beliefs based on reality. A lunatic will rail against reality.
is that a golden rule or somethin'?
Dr. Harr - do you actually think it is justice if the people are forced to be their own lawyers, even in felony murder cases in durham because of duke?
You know Mangum's case had nothing to do with Felony Murder, as has repeatedly been explained here, right? The Larceny of the Money Orders cannot constitute a felony for felony murder, and the felony murder instruction was not even given.
It is a huge problem that no one knows the facts of this case in regards to duke's and the ME's services and involvement in the discrepancies and malpractice, since they were not presented and questioned at the trial. It is sickening to know duke expects to get away with this too, and watch how they 'do it'.
A lot of people "know" what the issues/discrepancies are - remember, the Defense had experts review everything. Crystal, her defense teams and others all likely know - they just aren't sharing with you and Dr. Harr.
Dr. Harr,
Can I please have one moment of your professional time if possible? I have a question: from your medical standpoint, theoretically, is it technically considered suicide if someone decides to 'go off' life support? What is the term that is generally given by a doctor to be used by the patient when they have to make that decision for themselves and call it some word to describe the theory behind what they are ultimately doing? Do you know?
this is a real question btw
Hey Kenny, did you come to a different conclusion?
