Dr. Christena L. Roberts: "The initial intubation was esophageal"

If you actually pay attention to the articles - the reason UNC suspended PJ was the drug arrest, the overuse of rental cars (provided by a convicted felon), and the lack of judgment with the speeding. And, with all the stuff with the football team, they were worried about improper benefits, and when they originally interviewed him, he was not forthcoming with the extent of his relationship with this convicted felon, and how often he was using rental cars provided by this man.

UNC was worried about additional payments coming out, and NCAA sanctions. It had little to do with the speeding and the initial drug arrest, and a lot more to do with what it exposed related to possible improper benefits, which would cause problems for the school.

I agreed that UNC suspended Hairston because it was afraid of the big, bad NCAA.

Regarding the reasons you gave:
1) Drug arrest? Marijuana is now legal in Colorado. It's not like he was main-lining heroin;
2) Overuse of rental cars? What is overuse... more than one time... more than ten times? If he doesn't have his own car, what's wrong with using a rental? And, so what if a rental car is paid for by a felon. It's not against the law!
3) Lack of judgment with speeding (boy, are you scraping the bottom of the barrel). Lots of people speed, but they are not punished outside of traffic court. As Shakespeare once said, it's much ado about nothing.; March 26, 2014 at 6:43 AM

Whether that is true or not, it is illegal here, and more people are in Federal custody for Marijuana than anything else. I agree the laws are ridiculous, but a lot of promising young kids have had their futures ruined by the stupid War on Drugs - but until the laws change, they are what they are.

2) Overuse of rental cars? What is overuse... more than one time... more than ten times? If he doesn't have his own car, what's wrong with using a rental? And, so what if a rental car is paid for by a felon. It's not against the law!

No, but if it is determined to be an "improper benefit" it is against NCAA rules and would make him ineligible, and could cause the team to forfeit their games - they didn't want to take the risk, especially since he wasn't forthcoming with them.

3) Lack of judgment with speeding (boy, are you scraping the bottom of the barrel). Lots of people speed, but they are not punished outside of traffic court. As Shakespeare once said, it's much ado about nothing.

Legally, and for his future, absolutely, this should be a blip, but UNC has to care about the NCAA, and can't let 1 player, who cares only about himself, not the school, risk it for everyone else.; March 26, 2014 at 7:46 AM

Anonymous said...: Dr. Nichols admitted it wasn't the stab wound that did it - he specifically admitted it should have been non-fatal, that it was some other "complication" that did it. But, as has been explained way too many times to count (and I realize you will still ignore it this time), since the reason he was in the hospital was the stab wound, and the complications (as Dr. Roberts clearly states) arose out of treatment related to his hospitalization, that's A proximate cause, even if not THE proximate cause. Oh, and note, Dr. Roberts says there was a chest tube, also says DTs were ruled out. Sid ignores the parts where she shows he's wrong, agrees with what he wants, and blames the vase Duke conspiracy for everything else.; March 26, 2014 at 1:40 PM
Anonymous said...: how convenient for duke

no ... actually the judge himself states that malpractice is considered seperately if that is the cause of death

noone is responsible for malpractice except those whom commit it - otherwise everyone would have to make written agreements as to what hospital people are to be taken to in case they have to defend themselves - and that is NOT done - so there is no way anyone but the professionals could be responsible for their own malpractice; March 26, 2014 at 3:15 PM
Anonymous said...: Dr. Nichols would have no need to risk his professional career by documenting lies, discrepancies, and lack of normal autopsy procedural items if he did not think he needed to somehow show that the knife wound was more to blame than what it was if your understanding of the law that differs from what the law actually means is correct.

kenhyderal said...: Anonymous said: "I note that another contention, frequently made here, that an esophageal intubation did not cut off Mangum's criminal responsibility has now been supported by yet another source"...........This conclusion is based on the belief that the source of Daye's distress, that necessitated his tracheal intubation, was a complication of his wound and not of his chronic alcoholism and subsequent alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Like the disproved claim that Daye was not wrongly intubated in the esophagus the naïve belief that Daye was not an alcoholic could have easily been countered. It didn't take a psychologist to see that those friends and relatives questioned about Daye's drinking were extremely vague and diplomatic.( Speak no ill of the dead) Lawyers for Crystal should have presented evidence of his alcoholism. Medical opinions from Duke regarding putative alcoholism and delirium tremens should also have been presented. Showing no nexus between the wound and his death while undergoing treatment for alcohol withdrawal should negate any Welsh ruling. Like the esophageal intubation at some point in this affair Daye's alcoholism will also be a stipulated fact.; March 26, 2014 at 9:50 PM

Anonymous said...: Kenny:

If you stab an alcoholic and he dies you are responsible for his death, even if the victim's alcoholism exacerbated the injury or complicated his recovery. You can't go around stabbing alcoholics and blame it on their alcoholism.

If you stab someone and the hospital fails to treat him properly, you are still responsible.

If you stab someone and the ambulance has a mechanical failure while rushing the victim to the hospital and the victim dies, you are still responsible.

If you stab someone and it sends them into a epileptic seizure and they die because of the seizure you are still responsible.

If you stab someone on the 32nd floor of a building and they fall out a window and die you are still responsible.

If you stab someone and the blade snaps off inside the victim because it is defective, and as a reult the blade can't be quickly extracted and the victim bleeds out you (and not the manufacturer of the defective blade) are still responsible.

If you stab someone you are responsible for the outcome. Have you not been paying attention?; March 27, 2014 at 6:27 AM

Dr. Roberts felt compelled to reach the same conclusion as Dr. Nichols in order to justify the State's prosecution of Mangum. She knows very well that the proximate cause of Daye's death was the brain death due to the esophageal intubation. It just shows that she, like turncoat attorney Meier, was not acting in her best interests or being objective and truthful.; March 27, 2014 at 7:13 AM

You are allowing Dr. Roberts to play a Jedi mind-trick on you. She makes false statements about the number of intubations and the sequence of events related to them in order to confuse and misdirect the reader from the truth. It is plain from the medical record by the respiratory therapist that there were only two intubations... the first was esophageal and preceded and precipitated the cardiac arrest, and the second was after Daye went into cardiac arrest and he was re-intubated along with CPR.; March 27, 2014 at 7:17 AM

The date of Dr. Roberts' report is not stated in the document, so it might have been prepared in 2012 under attorney Woody Vann. What I find extremely problematic is the extents the attorneys went through to keep Mangum from getting a copy. It's bad enough when prosecution withholds evidence from a defendant, but when a defense attorney withholds important evidence from his client that is extremely egregious.; March 27, 2014 at 7:24 AM

You are absolutely correct. The esophageal intubation was the sole cause of Daye's brain death. Had Daye not been intubated in the esophagus his brain would not have been deprived of oxygen and he would have most likely survived. An esophageal intubation, if not recognized and corrected in a timely manner, will invariably result in brain death, cardiac arrest, and proceed to actual death.; March 27, 2014 at 7:36 AM

Why no medical evidence? Why no medical experts? Why no case law?........... The medical evidence and facts, that undoubtedly exists at Duke Hospital have never been investigated, not by Dr. Nicholls, not by Dr. Roberts and not by Barrister Meier. An opinion, by experts, on the cause of Daye's distress, the faulty treatment of which led to his demise, has never been rendered. There is plenty of circumstantial evidence in the documents Dr. Harr posted, though. Case law such as Welsh and the jury instruction as enunciated by Judge Ridgeway explained that a "direct" nexus must be in place. Common sense will also tell you this.

It is clear by history and Daye's admission himself that he is an alcoholic. It is also clear that he was significantly intoxicated with a stuporous blood alcohol level on admission to the hospital.

The severe agitation he suffered by the fourth day of hospitalization makes it clear that the symptoms resulting in his transfer to the SICU were related to his alcoholism.; March 28, 2014 at 9:08 AM

For purposes of discussion, let's assume that you are correct. Daye was an alcoholic. The delirium tremens necessitated the intubation.

We still must address the legal requirements.

You have claimed Welch (not Welsh as you have recently indicated) does not apply. However, you provide no case law. Why not?

What is the reason for your delay? Did you ask the mystery rapists to do your legal research for you?

Kenny, I don't trust your judgment. With your repeated claim that mystery rapists raped Mangum, you have shown you have no common sense. Prove your allegation.; March 28, 2014 at 4:10 PM

What evidence do you have that it existed? If you watch the trial - they specifically say it had not been produced (doesn't mean the conclusions weren't known, and what it would contain weren't known - Crystal herself told Dr. Harr about them), what proof do you have that they were lying? The Judge ordered that Dr. Roberts prepare a written report, and that it be provided when done. Why do you think that's a lie? You have any proof, or just your rantings?

I'm sure Meier lurks here, but he doesn't seem interested in engaging in back and forth with people who have no right to any information and clearly don't have a clue what they are talking about.

So essentially, there is no winning their game, therefore they play so noone wins which is their win if everyone losing if they too must lose is their game.

An understanding of their game helps to restore and maintain both intelligence and reverence for that deemed worthy of reverance by most and many with the intelligence to understand winning and losing and the true nature of the game.

Since their game is political and politics in action, yet the true nature of the game is life or death to many and most regardless of politics, they appear to disregard life and death revered by intelligence in favor of their politics inherently not in favor of those with the intelligence to revere life and the right to be free from their politically led or motivated death and/or other apparent contradictions to life or destructive of that which enables life as long as it fits only their irreverant political needs in order that they can continue to play their political games so they can win or make everyone else lose too.

So therefore, while all those with the intelligence to revere that which is deemed essential to life which also inherently and naturally includes death, they throw these same revered things around as if all with intelligence must surely agree with their politics and revere them instead, even though they don't or there would be no need for their political games and manipulations to begin with that tries to ignore, destroy, or mock intelligence that inherently and naturally does not revere their deadly and destructive political games and gains made only in order that they can continue to determine that only they can win or everyone else must lose.

So, all with intelligence inherantly begin to 'hate' that which is without reverance, which ultimately is their politics of winning at all costs, irregardless.; March 29, 2014 at 3:31 AM

The chain of events that lead to his death began with alcohol withdrawal in this chronic alcoholic which would have occurred had he been hospitalized for any reason whatsoever. Nicholls, Roberts and Duke Hospital all know that a murder charge in this instance is bogus. Dr. Harr pleaded with Duke to do the right thing and ethically admit their culpability instead of trying to protect their reputation by covering up their egregious errors and letting an innocent woman take the blame.

Thanks for the clarification.

It is your opinion that Roberts and Nichols both concluded that Daye died as a result of complications from alcohol withdrawal and that the death was not connected to the stab wound. You have not consulted a medical expert.

It is your opinion that both Roberts and Nichols are covering up.

It is your opinion that Welch is not applicable. You have not consulted an attorney to determine the implications of a pre-existing condition.

It is your opinion that Shella, Vann, Holmes and Meier were all conspiring against Crystal.

It is your opinion that Walt and A Lawyer have provided a flawed legal analysis of Crystal's legal responsibility.

It is your opinion that there is no justification for the jury's failure to believe Crystal. Despite numerous statements by her that were contradicted by evidence and other witness statements, any errors are trivial and should be disregarded.

It is your opinion that Crystal was raped by non-player attendees at the lacrosse party despite a complete lack of evidence (other than Crystal's allegation).

In what you term Crystal's "sexual assault case," do you think that the many inconsistent details included in Crystal's many versions of her allegation (I know, one should not focus on "trivial" details), the lack of incriminating medical and physical evidence that in many respects contradicted her stories, the many photographs and statements provided by other witnesses may have contributed to what you term "reasonable doubt."

Indeed, the failure of the DPD to conduct a bona fide investigation in one of the most highly publicized cases in Durham's history was remarkable. I find it interesting that Nifong elected to obtain indictments and prosecute on the basis identifications from a fatally flawed identification procedure he designed and a non-investigation. I cannot understand why a man Sidney describes as an honorable public servant did not tell the DPD to do their jobs. He must have realized that the lack of evidence and Crystal's inconsistencies would become the focus of the defense.

I don't know if anyone has received a direct request from Mangum for an investigation into the autopsy report, but I have been trying to convince the Attorney General's Office, D.A.'s offices, to investigate for more than a year. They have refused, even though I recently filed a motion to compel the Attorney General's Office to conduct an investigation.

No, it existed alright. You are wrong. That undated report was not produced only after Judge Ridgeway's order. It was produced when it was first commissioned by Vann and it was purposely withheld from Crystal.

What proof do you have of this? Personally, I tend to believe that people weren't perjuring themselves in Court, and to Crystal (who has admitted she was repeatedly told there wasn't a written report), and that it wasn't produced until ordered. Do you have any evidence that is not the case?

Unfortunately there was no date on the report to indicate as to when it was produced. It is described as being a work product for Dan Meier, who began representing Mangum two months prior to her conviction.

I don't know the truth, but my belief is that the report was generated in a timely manner after Vann had acquired her services and the main body of the report has been withheld from Mangum until the third day of her trial.; March 31, 2014 at 7:59 AM

Unknown said...: Kenhyderal,
Instead of telling us how you would have saved Crystal if you were her lawyer, you should try to think about the things you COULD have done to help her. Back in 2010, when she got into trouble by burning clothes and threatening Walker, you might have explained to her that she had to learn to control her temper. You might have explained to her that all the drugs she was taking made her lose her senses.
Instead, you insisted that she was a perfect woman who was only doing what was necessary to defend herself. You and your friends were able to get her out of trouble that time, but this led to the events of 2011. Once again she got high -- whether on alcohol or some other drugs, I don't know -- and once again lost her temper and stabbed her friend. She probably didn't mean to kill him, but her actions did in fact lead to his death.
Now she's paying for this. It's kind of late, but you might try, at this point, to knock some sense into her. She might be able to lead a reasonable life once she gets out of the place you have led her to.
Of course, you won't take my advice. It's cruel, or insincere, or something.; March 31, 2014 at 12:01 PM
kenhyderal said...: Guillermo Owen said :Once again she got high"....... Absolutely untrue. "Crystal Mangum does not use illicit drugs or abuse alcohol. Your belief that this is the case is a result of the many years of character assassination waged against her by those wishing to discredit her in order to bolster their greedy lawsuits. Crystal stabbed Daye in self defence. It was he who was intoxicated one (296mg/dl BAR); March 31, 2014 at 3:19 PM
Unknown said...: Just as I expected, you won't take advice. More's the pity, especially for Crystal.
If you want to double down on your bets, that's fine with me. But just so you understand, no one whose opinion matters believes your claim that Crystal stabbed Reginald in self-defense.; March 31, 2014 at 3:28 PM

The foul stench of corruption hangs over Durham poisoning the minds of many of it's citizens and making the place a national disgrace. Thankfully there are some fighting to clear the air of such blatent injustice; March 31, 2014 at 3:28 PM
kenhyderal said...: Guillermo owen said; "no one whose opinion matters believes your claim that Crystal stabbed Reginald in self-defense" ... It's a pathetic situation that so many are so brain-washed. It's a testament to the effectiveness of the Goebbels like propaganda campaign waged on a daily basis, for 8 years against Crystal. G.O., you do not know Crystal and you have been grievously misled about her; March 31, 2014 at 3:38 PM
Kenny "Mystery Rapists" Hyderal Supporter said...: Guillermo Owen:

In reality, Kenny "Mystery Rapists" Hyderal could have given Crystal useful advice in 2006 and 2007. After it was clear that Crystal's allegation that she had been raped by the defendants was false, Kenny should have counseled her that it is wrong to falsely accuse other people of felonies. When the DNA tests found multiple males other than the lacrosse players, Kenny should have suggested that she may not be making the best choices in life. Having sex with a lot of men she doesn't know well has some risks.

Instead, Kenny invented a ridiculous story about mystery rapists that he insists explains the unidentified DNA and maintains the plausibility of her rape allegation. He suggests that a preposterous story must be accepted as true as long as no one can prove it cannot possible be true.

Crystal learns this lesson and applies it in her arson and murder trials. Unfortunately, she learns the hard way that only her "friends" think that way.; March 31, 2014 at 3:57 PM

kenhyderal said...: KMRHA said" He suggests that a preposterous story must be accepted as true as long as no one can prove it cannot possible be true"...... A proper investigation to identify the source of the DNA extracted from sperm could have proved or disproved that Crystal was raped. It was never done. Crystal's consensual history, easily verifiable, was followed up on but no serious attempt was made to identify all who were present. Once the Player's DNA was not found the greedy lawsuits, dependent on destroying Crystal's character and credibility began, in earnest.; March 31, 2014 at 4:33 PM
kenhyderal said...: KMRHS: said: "Having sex with a lot of men she doesn't know well has some risks".... Crystal was not, is not and never will be a prostitute and to suggest that is prosecutable libel. Crystal has never engaged in sex with anyone she did not know; ever period. Like G.O. you've bought into the lies told about her.; March 31, 2014 at 4:42 PM

Absolutely right. She just knows A LOT of people. Some at the same time.; March 31, 2014 at 6:26 PM
Anonymous said...: I'd say having a paid driver running you from one date to another,with strangers, in motels where you engage in use of a vibrator on yourself in front of a stranger (by her own admission)......and GET PAID FOR IT.....makes you pretty much a whore. Having the DNA of at least FIVE different males in or on you (none of them LAX guys), also pretty much either makes you a whore....or just reallllllyyyyy friendly. Coming home to Daye's apartment with several hundred dollars after a night out, being friendly, also pretty much confirms your occupation. Of course, Kenny Hissy can tell us Mangum isn't a whore. that's fine. He can also tell us Mangum has never abused drugs or alcohol. that's fine, too. Kenny does have a point though....Mangum has never been arrested for selling it.; April 1, 2014 at 4:38 AM

Anonymous said...: "Crystal has never engaged in sex with anyone she did not know".....interesting choice of words..."Know"...as in the biblical use of the word, Ken Edwards? Apparently our now convicted murderess has "known" several men at the same time. I wonder just exactly how Sister managed to come to Daye's apartment with several hundred dollars after going out "on a date"? I think she said it was from "male friends". Isn't that sweet. I think most people would agree that a woman who allows herself to be photographed in a bra and panties on a web site for escorts called the "Bunny Hole"....a woman who admits to using a vibrator on herself in the presence of a "client" in a hotel room.....a woman who lays on the floor at a party with her legs spread while another woman pretends to penetrate her with an object (as was photographed).....is giving sexual favors for money. A woman who has multiple male samples apparently has no issue with sleeping around, according to you for free. Pardon me while I laugh.....; April 1, 2014 at 10:15 AM
kenhyderal said...: @ Anonymous 4:38: Crystal worked for an agency that booked exotic dancers. The money she collected less her commission went to that Agency. Three samples of DNA, extracted from sperm, which were found and which were not not explained by her consensual sexual history must have come from a sexual assault she endured after she was administered an incapacitating substance in a drink she was given. A jealous Daye did not like it that she was paid to give exotic performances for customers of the Escort Agency she worked for. The Trial Lawyers attempted, in vain, to find anyone at all who even claimed they paid Crystal for sex and when they could not they resorted to disseminating lies and innuendo, bought by gullible people like you; April 1, 2014 at 10:33 AM
