Dr. Harr,

What exactly did you ask the new DA to do to help in Ms. Mangum's case?

If he has a position and a career to think about, then he ought best be doing his job regardless of the pbt's.

Your thoughts on that simple ray of enlightenment would be interesting to hear.

Unfortunately, in today's society, doing the right thing is not necessarily the best thing for one's career. That is evidenced by the persecution of Mike Nifong.

D.A. Echols is faced with a dilemma... do the right thing and work towards having the conviction of Mangum overturned, or ignore the fact that his prosecutors based their case against Mangum on a fraudulent autopsy report and only prevailed at verdict with help of the medical examiner committing perjury and the defense attorney keeping the jurors from knowing the truth about Reginald Daye's death... knowingly allowing an innocent woman to stay in prison for eighteen years.; October 1, 2014 at 7:51 AM

How did the new DA end up appointed by the governor anyway. Just a short while ago there were news articles about several candidates considering running for the position, including at least one with Duke affiliations. Then all of a sudden the governor is appointing the DA because he won the democratic primary and there were no other candidates to choose from when the last appointed interim DA retired again - so no election required.

Dosen't seem quite democratic, eh?

I don't see where the governor had a choice... as I am unaware of any challengers to Echols from the Republican or Democratic parties.; October 1, 2014 at 7:54 AM

Sid, you've proven you have no ability at reasoning or reading comprehension ... You still cling to debunked felony murder and inadmissible criminal records - it's no wonder you missed where Roberts discussed a known complication in regards to the intubation. Admit you are wrong sometimes - in particular on felony murder and the record and we may enlighten you some more - or refuse to admit you are wrong and prove you are a narcissistic ass who isn't worthy of enlightening because you will ignore it.

What I said I missed was where Dr. Roberts allegedly said that an esophageal intubation was not malpractice.

As far as admitting I'm wrong, I'm the first to do so if such is the case. As far as inadmissible evidence, I'm certain the prosecution in Mangum's trial got away with plenty of that... especially with her turncoat defense attorney remaining silent instead of objecting.; October 1, 2014 at 7:59 AM
Anonymous said...: Dr. Harr,

It is now his job to make sure his staff does their jobs right isn't it? Perhaps if you started a new blog identity and called it Citizen's Innocence Commission, and then approached him and the case again from this perspective he may get the comparison of justice in what is seen happening in his office he is now in charge of, and the justice system he is an integral part of?

Anonymous said...: Yes, the turncoat who objected to a lot of the evidence coming in. Clearly his fault any came in.

You are still an idiot, and I like how you keep deflecting.

You won't admit you were wrong about inadmissible evidence, you say "they probably did it too" but with no evidence. Whether or not they did it too, you were/are wrong about it, just as you are (though still refuse to admit it, and now say "well why then") about the Felony Murder.

They are right - there is nothing new in your letter - you've been spouting the same debunked crap for years, and ignore the fact that it has been shown to be wrong.; October 1, 2014 at 9:03 AM
Anonymous said...: seriously, give it a break

everyone here is following the same information, and most of what you say is just you trying to discredit everything not proDuke antiMangum regardless of what is said, what evidence or answers are given, and what the facts are

can you go back to printing your heading directory in all caps?

things were easier that way; October 1, 2014 at 9:51 AM
Anonymous said...: No, the problem is that when evidence is presented to Sid, even direct case law, he ignores it, and just repeats exactly what he said before. I'd be happy to learn if he would present additional evidence. But, remember, Dr. Roberts also concluded that the stab wound was a proximate cause. Sid's only response "clearly she's lying." That's not evidence.

And, the felony murder and criminal record are demonstrable facts that Sid is wrong about. So, again, that's not evidence.

This case was a self-defense case, Sid deluded Crystal and others to ignore self-defense and focus on some vast Duke conspiracy, much to her detriment. Had self-defense worked, nothing Duke did would have mattered.; October 1, 2014 at 10:50 AM

Perhaps you will have time to watch some of the YouTube video interviews presented to the public on-line by the Real News Network. There is a new one now that features a discussion with Phil Donahue on the Real News Network about the media which may help you to understand this highly political environment of public information and misinformation:

Corporate Media is Destroying Democracy - Phil Donahue on Reality Asserts Itself (2/3)

I don't always agree with Mr. Donahue about things, but that may be because he still seems beholden to the information provided by the P-T-Bs, or in other words that he still seems to speak that which the ptbs say is reality without delving far enough below the facts to get to the actual truth, but that may just be his own coorporate conditioning.

In addition, there was an article in one of the local papers recently that criticized Governor McCory for demeaning the usefulness and desireability of college degrees for journalists, psychologists, ... libral arts degrees. I mention this here, because the paper ripped into him for criticizing their profession while at the same time correcting him on the reality of the numbers associated with the psychology profession and degrees in NC. So, like in your letter to the editor that you would like to get published in the local news, perhaps if you take the part out about the media, you may have more success.; October 2, 2014 at 12:25 AM

Dr. Roberts is an intelligent lady, and we both know that she is lying with regards to the cause of Daye's death. As a medical expert she is charged with giving medical, not legal, reasoning for concluding the cause of death. She cannot, and she does not provide any nexus between the stab wound and Daye's brain death... the cause of his removal from life support.

She does deserve a little credit for admitting that the initial intubation was esophageal, but then she tried to mislead by suggesting that it was immediately recognized and that Daye was re-intubated prior to going into cardiac arrest. That's not what happened. When Daye went into cardiac arrest, he had been intubated only once... the initial esophageal intubation.; October 2, 2014 at 12:26 PM

Another enlightened comment. That would've been the best way to assure that Mangum was acquitted, but her turncoat attorney used extreme pressure to force Mangum to relent about having Dr. Roberts involved in the trial. With proper direct examination, the entire credibility of Dr. Nichols' testimony could've been effectively impeached.

And, Dr. Nichols made no attempt to have a medical professional refute the statements made by the medical examiner.; October 2, 2014 at 12:30 PM

The Herald-Sun didn't publish your letter to the editor?

I feel shocked!

To be honest, I was not surprised. The entire mainstream media, including The Herald-Sun, has refused to report the truth about Daye's death and autopsy report... they have refused to editorialize about it, and I have never seen any letters to the editor about it.

Even though I was not shocked when the newspaper's editor refused my request for a guest column, I was shocked when he instead recommended that I submit a 250-word letter to the editor. Although I took his advice, and tried to water down the comments as much as possible, I must say that I was not shocked in the least when I finally learned that it would not be published.

The media is going to all extremes to keep the truth from the people.; October 2, 2014 at 12:36 PM

Thanks for the reference. I'll try to catch it when I have time. I am probably more aligned to Phil Donahue's ideology than most.

You are probably correct... the criticism of the media, regardless of how mild, surely did not help. But I felt that it was important, and since I had limited room for my comments I decided to go ahead and see what I could do. I still believe that even had I omitted criticism of the media that my letter would not have been published. The media is very protective of Duke University.; October 2, 2014 at 12:45 PM

Is this a rule that is specific to NC?

No, that's pretty much how elections are run nationwide. The parties nominate their candidates, and decide their nominee in their own primaries, then there is the general election between the parties. Kansas is having an issue with it now, because the Democrats refused to run someone.

But, in partisan elections, it's always done primary then general election. I'm not sure what is undemocratic about the process. The people in Durham had a chance to vote in the primaries if they were interested.

But, no this isn't remotely unique to NC, it's how partisan elections are done nationwide.

Non-partisan elections - like Judicial races are a bit different. If there are only 2 candidates, there is no primary, they just face off in the general election. If there are more than 2 candidates who filed, there is a primary, and then the top 2 vote getters from the primary face off in the general election.

The General Assembly is trying to make judicial races partisan again (they were, then became non-partisan), so that may change.; October 3, 2014 at 6:06 AM

Why would you want AG Cooper to become the governor, yet you have labeled him Super Duper Cooper? Just because he is a democrat? Why can't there be more than one democratic interested person in the future elections to select from? I am disappointed in his inability to investigate this case from the very start.

I have suffered the pain of all the abuse I've witnessed and been made to endure in order just to ask you, a de facto lawyer trying to assist in this case in your own ways, about the malpractice issues from what little I read about this case in the papers that led me here to find out more about that a little over a year ago.

If AG Cooper and the Durham DA and Duke had done their jobs professionally and responsibly, and at the very least, immediately, to insure that all NC citizens are able to depend on a non-corrupt medical examiner and basic non-malpractice, (or at least responsibility professionally and honestly taken for any malpractice), then it would have prevented my witnessing here and on KC's blog what I have about this case and the lacrosse case, as well as the harm caused by the need to possibly have to go back and reexamine 400 plus autopsy reports to insure the credibility and reliability of autopsy reports for all NC citizens, Ms. Mangums' incarceration and victimization, and all the other harm caused by the failure of Duke and the justice system to perform their duties professionally without conflict and unreasonable harm.

The fact that KC's evil duke troll gang made / makes trying to figure out what the heck is going on in order just to get assured of professional and safe medical services due to the malpractice issues feels like a hate crime since it probably is with all the abuse I've witnessed and been made a part of by just being more open minded, community aware and concerned for the welfare of others, posting here and on KC's blog with questions not aligned to their agendas, and whatever else these haters choose to hate.

Why should I admit to being wrong about something for which I'm right? The fact is that Daye was being treated for DTs... how else would you explain giving someone a total of 160 mg of Valium in multiple I.V. doses and then recording that the patient is still highly agitated?

The point I make is that someone who has worked for the Hospital Corporation of America is likely to have sympathies towards hospitals. I don't know in what capacity he worked while employed there, but Mangum's situation is one which required that a hospital be aggressively attacked in order to place blame for Daye's death where it belonged... on the hospital.

If AG Cooper and the Durham DA and Duke had done their jobs professionally and responsibly, and at the very least, immediately, to insure that all NC citizens are able to depend on a non-corrupt medical examiner and basic non-malpractice, (or at least responsibility professionally and honestly taken for any malpractice), then it would have prevented my witnessing here and on KC's blog what I have about this case and the lacrosse case, as well as the harm caused by the need to possibly have to go back and reexamine 400 plus autopsy reports to insure the credibility and reliability of autopsy reports for all NC citizens, Ms. Mangums' incarceration and victimization, and all the other harm caused by the failure of Duke and the justice system to perform their duties professionally without conflict and unreasonable harm.

The fact that KC's evil duke troll gang made / makes trying to figure out what the heck is going on in order just to get assured of professional and safe medical services due to the malpractice issues feels like a hate crime since it probably is with all the abuse I've witnessed and been made a part of by just being more open minded, community aware and concerned for the welfare of others, posting here and on KC's blog with questions not aligned to their agendas, and whatever else these haters choose to hate.

Anyway, your case is interesting from what I've seen of it in the sharlog. I hope it works.

Thank you for your comments and good wishes.

You're right that I support Roy Cooper because he is the lesser of two evils... the worser evil being any Republican.

Although I am not pleased with Mr. Cooper's handling of the Duke Lacrosse case, Mike Nifong, and his absolute refusal to investigate in Mangum's case, I do appreciate his views socially. He seems to be concerned about defending consumers and the public from avaricious energy companies and payday loans, etc. I think he has a lot of positives.

I used Super-Duper Cooper as an amusing educational tool to enlighten the people. Personally I don't dislike the man, and my use of him in the comic strip is light-hearted and not malicious. I make more fun of myself with self-deprecating humor.

As far as the media goes, it will, at times, keep the truth from the people.; October 8, 2014 at 1:11 PM

I am just spit balling here, but maybe being driven out of his home and then getting stabbed by Mangum agitated Mr. Daye?; October 8, 2014 at 1:52 PM

Like it or not, nothing in Daye's criminal record was admissible.

Like it or not, you are simply wrong but too much of a narcissistic egomaniac to admit it.; October 8, 2014 at 2:02 PM

Anonymous said...: Sid - by your logic of Meier's conflict (he used to work for an unrelated healthcare company, which he left, in a distant state, you are worried he wouldn't go after Duke) - don't you have the same one? You used to be a doctor/healthcare provider, in a different state, which you left - now you are claiming to be honest in your attacks on other doctors/healthcare providers.

I think you have the same conflict and should recuse yourself immediately and shut down this blog lest you expose yourself for being a total fraud and hypocrit.; October 9, 2014 at 4:41 AM
Anonymous said...: To quote the article referenced earlier, "...studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior... Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."

Sid's not "just" a fraud and hypocrite, he's apparently a pyschopathic sadist, just like Tin-Foil Hat....; October 9, 2014 at 5:43 AM
Is Sidney a Murderer? said...: Anonymous 4:41:

I agree that Sidney has the conflict you describe. The fact that he once worked in the healthcare field disqualifies him from commenting on healthcare matters.

However, Sidney has a far more serious conflict with this case.

If Daye was murdered at Duke with an intentional esophageal intubation, as some have suggested, then Sidney is a prime suspect.

After Duke shamefully mistreated him at the Breyer lecture, Sidney threatened on this blog that Duke would pay for its mistreatment. As a former ER physician, Sidney would know how to intubate a patient improperly. His lack of legal knowledge suggests that Sidney had no idea that Mangum could remain legally responsible for what he tried to portray as malpractice.

Some new readers may argue that a vague threat said out of frustration and an employment history from decades earlier is scarcely proof of murder. I note that this is precisely what Sidney has asserted proves that Rae Evans controls the Carpetbagger Jihad, a massive conspiracy that attacks Nifong, Mangum and their supporters.

Sidney has claimed that he could not have murdered Daye because he has not returned to Duke since it's shameful mistreatment of him. This self-proclaimed alibi is entirely self-serving.

I do not question Sidney's right to discuss the case. However, all readers should be skeptical of any claims made by a suspected murderer.; October 9, 2014 at 5:06 PM

Don't you think it gets rather tiring and contrary to health of the nation and the states to always be presented with the voting option of choosing, (if there even is a choice), between two evils instead of actually having a choice of leaders who are not corrupted and have the best interest of 'the people' vs. 'the corps. or money basically regardless of harm caused' at the heart of every decision affecting 'the people'? I do.; October 10, 2014 at 10:22 AM

The originally considered DTs, so they started treatment, since that didn't affect the agitation, they excluded DTs as the cause, and were looking for other causes when the esophageal intubation happened, Daye became brain dead, and his agitation was moot.

They did suspect, but ruled out, DTs.; October 11, 2014 at 6:56 AM
