"However the mattress was found, Crystal saying it came off when he dragged her off the bed by her ankles and at one point she used it as a shield"

This was from your comment of October 31, 2016 at 3:02 PM

From your comment of October 31, 2016 at 9:05 AM

"What Crystal did was raise a corner of the mattress to shield herself against incoming knives. Gravity returned the mattress to it's original position."

You can't even lie effectively.

Again I remind you, the pictures taken of Reginald Daye's apartment clearly showed the mattress had not been taken off the bed.

Kenny,

I have asked you previously not to rely on intellectually dishonest arguments in your replies to me. I do not find most intellectually dishonest arguments to be effective.

You are once again relying on Argument by Assertion. You assert something to be true and challenge others to disprove it. After you have asserted it several times, you act as though it is established fact. In this case, you explicitly claimed your assertions to be established facts.

The fact that knives were scattered around the apartment is not proof that Daye's threw them that night (he or someone else could have thrown them earlier and didn't clean them up) or that he threw them at Crystal or anyone else (they could have been thrown as target practice). Although your theory is plausible (unlike your preposterous mystery rapist theory), there are other plausible explanations as well.

I remind you that the burden of proof is on you. Crystal has been convicted of murder. She is in prison and scheduled to be released on February 27, 2026. You and Sidney regard her conviction as an egregious miscarriage of justice. Other readers have concluded that the conviction is fair.

You and Sidney rely almost exclusively on intellectually dishonest arguments that others find ineffective and then whine when those ineffective arguments are unsuccessful. You don't refine your arguments in response to specific criticism, you simply repeat them. Argument by assertion. Willful ignorance. Galileo gambit. Ad hominem attacks. Double standards.

Unless you and Sidney learn from your mistakes and learn to make more effective arguments supported by real evidence, Crystal will not receive a new trial. She will not be exonerated. She will be released in 3,405 days. Start the count down. It will be a more productive use of your time.

Remember that Daye was a knife thrower. In Crystal's new trial other witnesses to this fact will testify. Leaving knives scattered around the apartment some of them broken from some previous occurrence is also an implausible suggestion. Any reasonable person will concede that Daye threw the knives.

I already explained why it is reasonable to assume Crystal threw the knives. Don't give us this "any reasonable person ...." stuff.

Kenhtderal:

"Only the other possibilities you offer are implausible" You assume Crystal was lying when she testified that Daye threw them at her."

You assume Crystal tells the truth. It has been documented she does not, e.g. her description of what happened when she stole the cab, went on a drunken joy ride and then tried to run down a police officer.

"Remember that Daye was a knife thrower."

That was Crystal's allegation. You know, Crystl the non credile witess who falsely accused three innocent men of raping her.

"In Crystal's new trial other witnesses to this fact will testify."

You again presume a fact not in evidence, that Crystal ill get a new trial. So far you and Sidney Harr have not established grounds for a new trial. And who, specifically might those witnesses be? You? You have no first hand knowledge of what happened. Neither does Sidney Harr.

"Leaving knives scattered around the apartment some of them broken from some previous occurrence is also an implausible suggestion. Any reasonable person will concede that Daye threw the knives."

So far as that is concerned, you are the only individual, other than Crystal the non truthful witness, who believes that, and you are no reasonable person.

Anonymous said...

Again,

Even if Daye is the one who threw them, it doesn't change the analysis previously provided to you (which you ignore) - no matter what happened before she locked herself in the bathroom, that essentially resets it. The knives are a red herring, and the lack of fingerprints just means those kinds of knives aren't good for it - hers were not on them either, and even if they were, it was their house, their fingerprints wouldn't be a surprising find on utensils in their house.

JSwift said...

Kenny stated: Only the other possibilities you offer are implausible

Argument by assertion. I am not inclined to accept the opinion as to what is "plausible"and "implausible" from someone who professes to believe that Crystal was violently gang raped by mystery rapists at the lacrosse party.

You assume Crystal was lying when she testified that Daye threw them at her.

Straw man argument. We are trying to determine whether Crystal's statement is accurate. I note only that the fact that her allegation that Daye threw knives at her is not necessarily accurate if it can not be disproven with certainty. Given the inaccuracies in other parts of her testimony and in her rape allegation, I am not inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Remember that Daye was a knife thrower.

Argument by assertion. I have seen no evidence to support this claim.

In Crystal's new trial

Willful ignorance. There will be no trial unless you or Sidney stop relying on ineffective intellectually dishonest arguments, learn from you mistakes and develop more effective arguments supported by real evidence.

other witnesses to this fact will testify.

Argumentum ex culo. Your reliance on unknown witnesses, who may be real or entirely fictional, is not effective.

Willful ignorance. This argument also ignores the law as it relates to self-defense. The critical question is whether Daye broke off the attack. You ignore that requirement.

Leaving knives scattered around the apartment some of them broken from some previous occurrence is also an implausible suggestion.

Argument by assertion. I have seen no evidence to support the claim that Crystal and Daye kept an immaculate house. As I recall from the arson trial, the apartment Crystal shared with Walker was poorly cleaned.

Any reasonable person will concede that Daye threw the knives.

Ad hominem attack. The implication is that anyone who disagrees with you is "unreasonable."

In addition, this is a straw man argument. We were not discussing whether Daye threw the knives; we were discussing whether Daye threw the knives (a) at Crystal (b) that night (c) with murderous intent.

kenhyderal said...

JSwift: Here's an ad hominem attack. Your attempt at erudition is making you look pedantic. There is no Jury, given the information I have proffered, that would conclude anybody other then Daye threw the knives at Crystal. All your analysis concerning the logic of the arguments concerning this question, as scholarly as it may be, would fall on deaf ears and rightly so. They would rely on common sense, common experience and native intuition to come to the most plausible explanation.

JSwift said...

Kenny,

I agree. The jury did "rely on common sense, common experience and native intuition to come to the most plausible explanation."

They concluded that the physical evidence generally fit Daye's statement and it contradicted Crystal's testimony in too many places. As a result, they concluded, notwithstanding Daye's initiation of the physical attack and the fact that knives were strewn about the apartment, that Daye broke off his attack and began to walk away before Crystal got a knife and stabbed him. Under the law, they concluded that Crystal did not act in self-defense.

That verdict is a fact. Your opinion that there are other plausible explanations is at this point moot. Unless you or Sidney provide substantive arguments, supported by real evidence, there will be no new trial. Your endless repetition of the same ineffective arguments will accomplish nothing--except perhaps to make you feel good about yourself.

Kenny,

No one is saying your version (which is also what Crystal testified to) isn't plausible. Daye's version was also plausible - and the Jury was allowed to decide which one they believed. They chose Daye's because his version of events (even those where he admitted attacking her) fit the physical evidence more than hers, and she had a history of running into the other room and grabbing a weapon to continue a fight.

No one is saying Crystal's version wasn't plausible, but Daye's was also plausible, and the Jury, as is their function, determined that Daye's version was the one they believed.

The fact you disagree with their decision isn't grounds for a new trial - people disagree with jury verdicts all the time, but unless their determination is so clearly erroneous that it could not possibly be right - it will not be disturbed.

Even you have to admit that Daye's version is possible, even if you think it is a self-serving lie on his part. Since it is possible, the Jury Verdict stands on that issue.

So, what you're claiming is that, after stabbing Daye, Crystal left? She didn't even have the decency to stay and see the consequences of what she'd done? That's really a tall story.
Actually, Reggie went to his nephew's apartment.
After Reggie left, Crystal scattered broken knives all over the place. That gave her a good cover story, and made the self-defense plea more plausible.

Buy the way, it's not that you re4fuse to argue. It's that your method of argumentation is not honest:
1. You make up a story.

Keep in mind that your advice has made Kenny's task even more difficult.

Although Kenny claims to have secret evidence that would prove that Crystal is innocent (e.g, medical experts would would testify that the intubation was an intervening cause, the doctors who treated Daye would testify to the same, people who would testify to Daye being a violent alcoholic who frequently physically abused women and threw knives at people in murderous rages, people who would testify that Crystal left before Daye, experts who would testify that the blood spatter found in the hallway was consistent with Daye being stabbed in the bedroom, etc.)

Kenny believes that you advised that he cannot release any of this compelling evidence today because it would give the prosecution in the new trial too much information as to the defense for that new trial.

JSwift wrote: "Kenny believes that you advised that he cannot release any of this compelling evidence today because it would give the prosecution in the new trial too much information as to the defense for that new trial."

Kenny's belief is unfounded. N.C.G.S. 15A-905(c)(2) gives the State the right to notice of expert witnesses that the defendant reasonably expects to call at trial. N.C.G.S. 15A-905(c)(2) also provides that within a reasonable time before trial, each expert witness that the defendant reasonably expects to call at trial must prepare a report of the results of any tests or examinations conducted by the expert, and those reports must be made available to the state.

Further, if the defense, as it has already done, asks for open file discovery pursuant to N.C.G.S. 15A-903, or the state voluntarily provides discovery, as it has already done, then the defense is under a compulsion to provide the state with reciprocal discovery, except the defendant's own statements. [Protected by the N.C. Constitution and U.S. Constitution's right to be free from self-incrimination.] Of course, the state is entitled to use Crystal's previous sworn testimony from the first trial against her.

Of course, all this is predicated on there being a new trial. So far, Crystal has not filed a Motion for Appropriate Relief in a court of competent jurisdiction which could grant such relief. Question to Kenny, when and where has Crystal filed a MAR?

Question to Kenny, on what grounds should a court of competent jurisdiction grant a MAR?

A Habeas petition in federal court won't work as the only relief she can obtain there is a relief from prison early. That would be granted only if she can prove she is being held in violation of the U.S. Constitution. Question to Kenny, how is Crystal being held in violation of the U.S. Constitution?

JSwift said...

Walt asks: Question to Kenny, on what grounds should a court of competent jurisdiction grant a MAR?

Kenny has been consistent in his answer. A court of competent jurisdiction should grant an MAR based upon his theories, his opinions that the jury accepted an implausible scenario and that Meier did not provide a competent defense, and, most importantly, the secret evidence he is not yet at liberty to disclose.

John D. Smith
New York, NY

JSwift said...

Walt asks: Question to Kenny, when and where has Crystal filed a MAR?

Kenny has been consistent in his answer. Because the rules in the US justice system are so esoteric, Crystal should not be required to file an MAR in a court of competent jurisdiction and use the proper forms to do so. Sidney has made filings in numerous courts, any of which in Kenny's opinion was sufficient to require a new trial. Moreover, because he believes this miscarriage of justice has been so egregious, no filing should be required in any court. The judges, prosecutors and politicians, who, like Meier, lurk here, should be convinced by his theories, opinions and secret evidence that they should release and exonerate Crystal without a filing.

That explains his failure to take any action other than posting on this blog.

Mr. Smith:

Thank you for your comment. In reply to your suggestions:

My countdown started when Sid brashly stated that Mangum would definitely be released in 2016. That is why I started the countdown and it is what I was counting down. I really didn't think it necessary at the time to further clarify the countdown by adding "in 2016" because Sid was clear that there would be nothing left to be done with respect to Mangum's conviction and incarceration in 2017 or beyond. Although Sid has made several predictions since then (which I have noted and counted down), he has not made a prediction or set a deadline beyond 2016. Therefore, I haven't seen the need to add "in 2016" to the countdown. However, if you think it will lend clarity to, or otherwise improve, the countdown, I will do so.

I have thought about marking and counting the days since Mr. Daye's stabbing and Mangum arrest, but I didn't go there for two reasons:

First, the purpose of the countdown is to point out Sid's many (and continuing) failures. It is my light hearted way of poking fun at Sid and holding him accountable for his ridiculous claims and assertions. Whatever else can be said about Sid, he isn't responsible for Mangum's poor decisions and the bad acts that led to Mr. Daye's stabbing and resulted in her arrest. Thus I don't see keeping track of that date as being relevant to the purpose and spirit of the countdown. I distinguish this from my decision to keep track of the days since Mangum was convicted, because Sid was heavily involved in Mangum's legal decisions prior to her conviction and frequently predicted that the case against her would never go to trial, much less result in a conviction.

Secondly, I don't want to do anything that might be seen as commemorating the stabbing and killing of a human being. As stated above, my countdown posts are aimed at Sid's actions and failures. Marking the days since Mr. Daye's stabbing at Mangum's hand isn't appealing to me or something I particularly want to do (although it wouldn't offend or upset me if someone else did).

On your recommendation I will start counting down the days to Mangum's release. However, I cannot guarantee that I will continue the countdown to its conclusion. To be honest, at present I do not intend on continuing the countdown after January 1, 2017.

I apologize for my excessively lengthy absence from the comment section of this blog site... however, I have been feverishly working to try and get Crystal freed by Christmas, if not by the end of the year.

The good news is that I believe that I have made significant progress towards that goal. The downside for you is that you are unable to appreciate the strides until justice bursts on the scene. But I do believe that soon you will be able to notice chinks in the armor of the Mangum detractors' case.

To date I have not received any response from the NC Attorney General's Office regarding the Informal Brief on Appeal that I filed. Does anyone know its status? I have not recently reviewed the comments, so maybe there is an indication in there somewhere as to what's going on with my appeal.

Hey, John D. Smith.

When Mangum is vindicated (by her release and exoneration), Mike Nifong will enjoy a significant degree of vindication (probably not to the extent of unconditional and unilateral reinstatement to practice law in North Carolina). But I do believe with revelations about the injustices to Mangum will be cause for reasonable people to re-think their attitudes towards Mr. Nifong and the Duke Lacrosse case.

Hey, A Lawyer.

First of all, Crystal is not going to get a new trial... she is going to be exonerated without having to go through a new trial.

Second of all, the last thing that the State would want to do is re-try Mangum on its flawed, flimsy, and fraudulent evidence that has more holes in it than a colander.

Third of all, as Frederick Douglass said, "Power concedes nothing without a demand." When I filed my lawsuit against Wake D.A. Lorrin Freeman, I made a demand for justice for Crystal Mangum.

On the other hand, Crystal's scenario makes perfect sense. She stabbed Daye once while he was choking her, and after he got from atop her cursing, she grabbed her purse on the way out and fled... fearing that he was in pursuit.

The knives were scattered about because Daye used Mangum for target practice prior to dragging her by her hair out of the bathroom that he busted into by knocking the locked door off its frame.

The state's story that Daye left the premises first and that Mangum came to the door and told Aykia's boyfriend "Everything's okay," before slamming the door shut, makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If this is the case, why was Aykia's boyfriend not called to testify. The fact is, that Aykia's boyfriend, who the state alleges is the only person to directly see and/or speak to Mangum after the stabbing, was never even interviewed by the prosecution. Does that make any kind of sense.... Really?

Truth of the matter is that all three of the State's major material trial witnesses to the incident that night (Dr. Nichols, Aykia Hanes, Officer Curtis Knight) all committed perjury.

Hey, John D. Smith.

When Mangum is vindicated (by her release and exoneration), Mike Nifong will enjoy a significant degree of vindication"

Except Crystal will never be vindicated with regard to her murder of Reginald Daye. Even if she were, how would that vindicate Mike Nifong. It has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that Mike Nifong wrongfully prosecuted three innocent mrn for a crie which never happened.

Sid is still delusional - there is only 1 way for an exoneration without a judicial hearing - and that's a governor's pardon. The fact Sid has filed for nothing is proof he's just lying to Crystal.

As we've seen with Peterson, Howard, and many others - even if he ever gets around to filing something in the proper court, and the Court actually looks at it and orders a hearing, that takes a lot of time, and certainly won't happen by Christmas.

Sid, why do you enjoy lying to Crystal? You really are an abusive ass aren't you?

Hey, A Lawyer.

First of all, Crystal is not going to get a new trial... she is going to be exonerated without having to go through a new trial.


(a) How is that even legally possible?
(b) Didn't you promise that Crystal would be exonerated by March 15? Didn't you promise again that she would be exonerated by April 23? Didn't you promise a third time that she would be exonerated by June 30? Why should anyone believe your predictions about this case?

Second of all, the last thing that the State would want to do is re-try Mangum on its flawed, flimsy, and fraudulent evidence that has more holes in it than a colander.

Before Mangum's trial, you repeatedly said that the State would never go to trial because they had no case. The jury disagreed.

Third of all, as Frederick Douglass said, "Power concedes nothing without a demand." When I filed my lawsuit against Wake D.A. Lorrin Freeman, I made a demand for justice for Crystal Mangum.

(a) First, if that's true, you had no standing to sue on Mangum's behalf.
(b) Second, in an effort to avoid dismissal of your suit for lack of standing, you claimed that your suit was not about Mangum but rather about your (supposed) right as a constituent to meet with Freeman. So you're contradicting yourself again.
(c) Third, your suit was dismissed, and the dismissal is certain to be affirmed on appeal.

Why don't you stop your fruitless efforts at litigating, and do something socially useful instead-- like volunteering at a phone bank for Hillary Clinton? She needs every vote she can get in North Carolina, if we are to avoid the horrors of a Trump presidency.

Sid, as you well know, in the Freeman case you are a party litigant. As such, Rule 5 requires all responsive pleadings after the complaint be served on the party or their counsel of record. Since you are unrepresented, all responsive pleadings filed by other parties must be served on you. As you are not permitted to file using EC/CMF and you have refused to avail yourself of the PACER system, Rule 5 requires you be served with a hard copy by U.S. Mail, postage prepaid. If you have not received a response to your frivolous Informal Brief, then it is safe to say none has been filed. That is, unless you are deliberately not checking your U.S. Mail. In that case, too bad, so sad, hard cheese.

Yes Race baiter Jesse was in Memphis. The question is, was he actually stnding with Dr. King in Selma.

From your URL:

"By April, 1968, Martin Luther King, Jr. had clearly gone beyond the familiar terrain of racial politics practised(sic) by the likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton."

Al Sharpton never came into national prominence until the late 80's. Dr. King, as you should knew, was assassinated in 1968. Race Baiter Al was born on born October 3, 1954.

Your point was, race baiter Al and race baiter Jesse stood wiyh Dr. King wen he faced down the segregationists. You have offered no evidence that they did.

If the King family accepts unreentant race baiter Al as a civil rights advocate they dishonor the heritage of Dr. King, and that is sad. And you are a pathetic hypocrite for willfully ignoring that fact.

Kenny, do you support Sid lying to Crystal and giving her false hope that she can be out by the end of the year? Even if he does finally get something filed right, and even if the Judge thinks there might be merit, there would have to be a hearing, and it cannot be set by the end of the year

I'm still curious how he thinks anything will happen with Mangum in 45 days when he hasn't filed anything that could help, and no hearings have been scheduled. It takes months for hearings to be scheduled, even after stuff is properly filed - it's not going to happen in 45 days, and if he's pretending to Crystal there is a chance in hell she could be out by the end of the year, he is the abusive ass most of us believe his is.

Kenny, do you support Sid lying to Crystal and giving her false hope that she can be out by the end of the year? Even if he does finally get something filed right, and even if the Judge thinks there might be merit, there would have to be a hearing, and it cannot be set by the end of the year

Or do you join in his abuse?


First of all, you are misinformed if you believe that there is no petition or legal motion currently pending in Crystal Mangum's case. I am hopeful that a determination with regard to the filing will be issued within a matter of days, if not weeks. There remains the great possibility that Crystal will be freed prior to Christmas.

Actually, that advice is meant for fools, which automatically excludes me. The fact is that I have been away from commenting because I have been extremely busy working on Mangum's case and on a sharlog.... and because I have just returned from a week-long trip to the west. I will try to contribute comments more frequently in the future.

If you are referring to your frivolous lawsuit against Freeman, as has repeatedly been explained to you, nothing in that can free Crystal - and there would still be a hearing. You've watched Peterson, Howard, and the rest - there were always hearings.

You are a liar, an abuser, and a disgrace.

If you are not a fool, why do you believe in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary that members of the Duke Lacrosse team raped Crystal Mangum?

Anonymous said...

Sidney Harr:

You say you are not a fool.

Regarding Mike Nifong and the Duke Rape Case:

He had no evidence that anyone on the Duke Lacrosse Team raped Crystal Mangum.

Crystal could not reliably identify any member of the Lacrosse team as an assailany.

He had evidence hich indicated that, if Crystal had been raped, the perpetrators were people other than Lacrosse ream members.

He refused too look at alibi evidence.

He made extra judicial statements which inflamed public opinion against members of the Lacrosse team, which undermined basic Constitutional rights, such as right to counsel, right to remain silent.

He presumed members of the Lacrosse tram guilty.

He lied to the court about evidence which was exculpatory.

He concealed exculpatory evidence.

Yet you described Mike Nifong as a decent, honorable, courageous prosecutor who acted with integrity.

And you expect the public to believe you tell the truth.

You have convicted yourself out of your own mouth of multiple counts of bring a fool.

FWIW -- Asians and "Black" people (either African or Caribbean origin), make up the 2 largest minorities in Canada.

If you separate Southern Asians from Chinese, the demographics change a bit -- With the Southern Asians at #1, Chinese at #2, and Black Canadians at #3.

The problem isn't that Canada is all Caucasian -- it's that the Parliament isn't a true reflection of the Canadian people.

What percentage of the Canadian population is black? Three percent? An all white parliament would seem to be a true reflection of the demographics of Canada.

You know the idea of American "exceptionalism" held by so many there, up to including your Presidents, seems ludicrous to the rest of the word. On just about every measure America is usually found wanting especially in comparison to Canada . Yes we do have all the same problems but mostly to a lesser degree. As far as quality of life, overall health care, overall education, justice, crime and tolerance the US persistently is rated below Canada and most Western European Nations. Your Democracy is tainted by money and gerrymandering. Your institutions such as your Senate and your Electoral College are undemocratic. Your criminal justice system discriminates against the poor and minorities. You incarcerate more of your citizens then almost all other countries. Your gun laws are barbaric and uncivilized. Your 18th Century Constitution is outdated and anachronistic. But what do I know I'm just an unarmed Canadian with cradle to grave single-payer universal health care.

Explain why, after reviewing Abe Froman's posts. When has Sidney Harr ever achieved any of his stated goals?

He has failed to force the NC Barr to restore Mike Nifong's law license.

He failed to keep Crystal Mangum from going to trial

He has failed to prevent Crystal's conviction.

He has failed to get any of the lawsuirs he has filed into court, in spite of his claim to havean extensive comprehension of the law.

And that record of failure is no due to any imaginary conspiracy against sidney harr.

Kenhyderal wrote: "But what do I know I'm just an unarmed Canadian with cradle to grave single-payer universal health care." Apparently, you don't know much.

For democratic institutions, you have a hereditary monarch who is represented by a Governor General who is appointed by the Queen of England on the advice of the Prime Minister. What could be more democratic than that?

But wait, there's more. Your Prime Minister, the real executive power in government is elected by his or in very rare cases her political party. No one in the other parties even gets a vote on who the Prime Minister might be. To elect a Prime Minister, people have to vote for their local Member of Parliament. That local M.P. then elects his or her leader and if that party has enough seats in the Parliament the Prime Minister of that party is elected. Of course the party can fire the Prime Minister without ever even taking a vote of the people and put in someone all new. And, just by a simple majority of the party in power.

Of course the Canadian Senate Ontario gets 24 Senators and British Columbia gets 6. Yet Ontario is only three times as populous as British Columbia. Saskatchewan with only one quarter of the population of British Columbia gets six Senators. With even less population than Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia gets four more Senators. Of course your lower house of parliament is divided into Ridings, which we would call congressional districts. Canada's Ridings vary in in population from 28,000 people to 118,000 people. Yep, that's very democratic.

Don't get all holier than thou about Canada. It's a functioning democracy, just as ours is. The Westminster system generally makes for less gridlock in government but that is by no means assured. Our system puts a brake on the tyranny of the majority and generally functions very well.

kenhyderal said...

@ Walt: The Monarch and her Governor General are only ceremonial and have no political power. Likewise the Appointed Senate which is "supposedly" made up of distinguished people reviews legislation for the purpose of "so-called" "sober second thought" without fear of political consequences but can only suggest changes/improvements to legislation. Too often in the past they have been political patronage appointments but the present Liberal Government is changing that There is a broader range of political choices in Canada with multiple Political Parties three of which do have a chance at power. The population discrepancies in ridings pale in comparison to Wyoming and California each having two senators. Any holier than thou reaction on the part of Canadians is triggered by the ridiculous and oft expressed " holier than thou" belief in American Exceptionalism

Wrong.

If the US justice system were corrupt, the innocent Lacrosse players would have been convicted of rape, even though all the evidence proved there was no rape.

And as Sidney Harr continues tp advocate for their guilt, and conyinues to advocate for Crystal to get a pass for murdering Reginald Daye,he is hardlt a voice in the wilderness fr justice. He is more like a narcissistic spoiled brat screaming for people to pay attention to him.

Clearly, kenhyderal is correct. I am not screaming for attention, I am screaming for justice for Crystal Mangum. Whether or not you believe it, Lady Justice is around the corner, and hopefully she will be freed and exonerated before the end of the year.
