Malicious Prosecution Motions Hearing Syllabus entered into evidence

Anonymous said...: Interesting that one of the documents you do not include is the report from Dr. Roberts which indicates that the Nichols autopsy was sloppy, but ultimately correct, and also notes that they looked into, but ruled out, DTs. Crystal's own expert contradicts everything you claim.; August 19, 2018 at 4:55 AM

Everyone involved knows that if Crystal is granted a new trial she will be acquitted. That's why the present strategy is to thwart, by any means, letting that happen. To bolster her case there will be many subpoenaed witnesses, some of them acknowledged experts testifying to facts and with opinions never heard by her Jury.

August 18, 2018 at 9:16 AM

Dr. Harr,

Are you aware of the witnesses that kenhyderal will subpoena? Are you and Crystal coordinating your efforts with kenhyderal? I believe it is critical that you all work together closely.; August 19, 2018 at 5:03 PM
kenhyderal said...: @ Doogie: I'm neither a Lawyer or a Litigant. If, in her new trial, she has a Lawyer or she is a Pro Se Litigant I can suggest witnesses with direct knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Daye's death and of the obvious errors in Dr. Nicholls autopsy. These experts, if they do not perjure themselves or couch and skirt around the glaring deficiencies, in it's cause of death determination, or by giving semantic but medically baseless support, albeit feint-hearted, to Dr. Nicolls unfounded conclusion which ignored everything between his, "she stabbed him, he died" , as did Dr. Roberts. The intervening medical misadventure is something her Jury needs to hear.; August 19, 2018 at 9:50 PM

How many more years are you going to wait before you reveal your mystery witnesses and mystery evidence of Mangum's innocence?

How many times have we gone through the same rigamarole:

Sidney: "I have some powerful arguments that will get CGM free within two weeks if not sooner."
Sidney: "Please, everybody, tell me the color of your favorite crying towel."
Kenny: "The evil Duke lacrosse apologists have been successful up to now, but will now suffer as the arc of justice bends in Crystal's direction."
Some time later:
Others: "So tell us Sidney how things went?"
Sidney: "I clearly failed to take into consideration the evil behavior of the justice system, and/or the way CGM's attorneys betrayed her!"
Kenny: "What can you expect from the U.S. system? This would never happen in Canada, or any other reasonable country! Reform reform! Drain this swamp!"

Good luck with that strategy. How is Mangum going to get a new trial without the mystery witnesses and mystery evidence you claim you have?

Either you have witnesses and evidence that Mangum is actually innocent, but are refusing to reveal it even though (because?) it means she will remain in prison, or you are lying when you claim to have witnesses and evidence of Mangum's innocence. Which is it?

Dr. Caligari said...: At the time of her new trial. Hopefully, thanks to the efforts of Dr. Harr, that will be later this year or early next.

How in Mangum going to get a new trial? Her appeals have been exhausted. Her federal habeas corpus case was dismissed, thanks to Dr. Harr's unintentional sabotage. (It was supposed to be a MAR, to be filed in state court, but Dr. Harr mistakenly filed it in federal court, which promptly dismissed it because the issues raised in it had not previously been filed in state court.) The attempt to overturn her conviction through a suit for malicious prosecution was doomed from the outset, because relief from a conviction cannot be obtained in a malicious prosecution suit, but that suit was dismissed on statute of limitations grounds. The only thing now pending is the MAR, which will be dismissed for reasons which have been explained already.; August 20, 2018 at 2:22 PM

kenhyderal said...: Abe said: "How is Mangum going to get a new trial without the mystery witnesses and mystery evidence you claim you have?" ------------------------- These witnesses are not mysterious. These are witnesses that Meier should have subpoenaed. Witnesses, that even the most cursory investigation would have shown it was necessary to call them in to testify. At least a dozen, without even including Dr. Roberts but certainly including those involved in the errant intubation of Daye's esophagus. Then, there are ample witnesses that can testify to Daye's obvious alcoholism and his erratic behaviour while intoxicated and of course there are those who well knew of his penchant for knife throwing.; August 20, 2018 at 4:47 PM
Anonymous said...: I love how Kenny assumes (claims to know as a fact even though he won't say why, and has never actually reached out to anyone in this case but Sid) that these witnesses weren't interviewed, and that the defense didn't know what these witnesses were going to say.

He knows it wasn't done because he's magical Kenny, and he figures if it was, all the attorneys, who he also knows still lurk on this board, would come out and say so. He thinks silence means people are scared of him.

Kenny, you remain an idiot.; August 21, 2018 at 5:28 AM
Anonymous said...: kenny,

I don't believe Mangum's attorneys failed to investigate her various claims. They just did not proceed the way you and Sid wanted. But, assuming you are right, - If you, Sid and Mangum aren't willing to spend a second of your time or waste a nickel of your money to interview, take statements from, subpoena or investigate the claims of the mystery witnesses, how can you possibly fault Mangum's attorneys for doing the exact same thing?

Abe Froman

kenhyderal said...: No assumptions and not simply a claim. You're the one who is making assumptions. I assert, "there is no one who can factually refute my contention that no investigations or interviews into the events leading to Daye's death, at the hands of Duke, were ever done by her so-called Counsel". Proof of this will ultimately be presented at Crystal's new trial. That along with exculpatory evidence, by experts, proving Daye was not murdered by Crystal.; August 21, 2018 at 10:21 AM
Anonymous said...: No, Kenny.

You are being dishonest again.

You are the ones making claims and assumptions.

Here are the facts, and they are incontrovertible:

Mangum went to trial and was convicted of murder by a jury of peers. Her conviction was upheld on appeal. Every attempt Sid/Mangum have made to challenge the conviction has failed.

You are the one claiming Mangum's attorneys didn't investigate her claim or properly defend her. Prove it.

You are the one claiming there are witnesses that will prove Mangum is innocent. Name them.

You are the one claiming there is evidence that Mangum is innocent. Produce it.

Until you do, Mangum remains guilty and she stays in prison for the full duration of her sentence.

Unless you are happy with the status quo, you have some work to do.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Last night I began working on a sharlog video... which might better be referred to as a "shar-video" as it is more a video, than a sharlog because it is not interactive. Therefore, there is no way to leisurely examine documents. These shar-videos will be posted on YouTube. Although it doesn't require coding for buttons, the process is just as time and energy consuming.

The topic of this shar-video is the Motions Hearing that was recently held in Durham. Because I want to get it posted as soon as possible, I will be spending day and night working on it.

Although comments from visitors to this sight are readily and easily posted by use of my cellphone, for me to place a comment it requires that I use my laptop... and responding in good-faith to comments can take time that I can ill afford. Therefore, apologies for my failure to actively engage in comments routinely as the shar-video is extremely important in the scheme of things.

There is a possibility that I might be compelled to respond to a comment here or there, but that will be the exception.

I must return to Word, as the draft of the narrative is not yet, but close to being completed. I will try to narrate most of it by tonight. Laying in the soundtrack will come next followed by putting images to the audio... and finally odds and ends such as music and sound effects. With luck, I will have it completed by this coming weekend.

As you were.; August 21, 2018 at 11:50 AM
Anonymous said...: Kenny,

It's your job to prove things, not others to disprove them. No one can factually disprove the claim that you are a blithering idiot. Does that make it true?

If you actually cared how these things work, you'd be out interviewing witnesses and jurors and potential witnesses and putting together a MAR with affidavits. That's how it works. You don't just say "we want a new trial then will do all of this."

That's why the latest MAR will fail. Sid refuses to even try get an affidavit from Milton. An affidavit from Milton that says he was threatened and told to lie would be strong grounds for a new trial. An affidavit from these mystery witnesses might be.

Absent an affidavit, all anyone has is Sid's statements (and since he still clings to felony murder and other debunked claims he's not credible), and your statements, and you are an idiot.

If you care about Crystal do the work. If you don't, keep tying and pretending.

We all know you will do the later.; August 21, 2018 at 2:36 PM

They hardly even spoke to her let alone conducting any sort of an investigation or seeking out and interviewing any defence witnesses that could inform her Jury of the truth.

Anonymous said...: How do you expect Mangum will ever get another trial unless you, Sid or someone else acting on her behalf produce a single witness or a some kind of evidence that Mangum is innocent? What is missing here is anything to back up any of your ridiculous claims or support the vicious attacks the two of you have made against Mr. Daye, Duke University, Mangum's defense lawyers, the prosecutors and everyone else associated with the Daye murder case.

All either of you have produced is wretched SHARTS (Sid Harr Alternate Realities Theories) advancing possible alternative interpretations of the evidence against Mangum. But, your problem is the case has already been tried and a verdict rendered. The verdict was upheld on appeal.

Until you and Sid find a way to back up your claims with real witnesses and hard evidence, Mangum will never get a new trial. It is that simple.

Anyone who actually knows Crystal rejects completely the vicious slander, that emananated from The Duke Lacrosse Defence, in an effort to destroy her credibility. These lies are ongoing and widely beleived. None of those who post their poison here have ever met Crystal. I ask them, don't you find it strange that her friends, her professors, her classmates her teachers, her pastor, etc. all have a favorable opinion of her and have provided her with character references. Hearing these references caused Judge Abraham Jones to declared that, from the evidence he heard, he beleived her to be "a good mother" Crystal is not and never was a prostitute. Crystal is not and never was a drug addict or an alcoholic. Crystal was a responsible parent. Crystal was a responsible member of her community. Crystal, having come from humble circumstances, was working hard to build a better like for herself and her children.

Let the innocent remain locked up, inconsequentially. That will keep the status quo, of selective justice benefiting the powerful and well connected, remain intact. Indigent Crystal refused the plea deal because she was innocent. All she needed was to tell her story and have the support of adequate legal representation.

Taking a break from working on my shar-video (which I plan to post to YouTube) to respond. The Innocence Inquiry Commission under to different executive directors responded with letters as to why they would not take Mangum's case. The NC Center on Actual Innocence did not respond. The Innocence Project of Barry Scheck fame, I believe was contacted... not sure. The innocence program of NCCU Law School did not respond and the school was quite hostile when I went there seeking help for Crystal. The NAACP and ACLU also ignored pleas for assistance for Mangum.

As a Lawyer is there any issues you believe that her jury should have heard that they did not which could at least of raised reasonable doubt. Is this a clear cut case where a Welch precedent precludes anything Duke did contributing to Daye's death. Should the jury have known that Daye was a violent alcoholic who had already been stabbed and treated for wounds acquired in a knife fight. The prosecution brought on Family and friends who half heatedly proclaimed he was not. There are witness who could testify that he was but the Defence did not seek them out. Should the jury have been told that he was knife throwing 'hobbyist" There are those who know this fact. Although there was a possibility of a post surgical repair infection there never was one. His repaired wound did not kill him. There are medical staff at Duke who can testify to this. They were never sought out.

Anony, I did not contact James Coleman because he is employed by Duke University. I would not want to do anything that might put his career or personal life in jeopardy... which is a reasonable possibility, if not probability.

I made an attempt to get Timothy Tyson involved, as an advocate whom I greatly admire, but came to realize, that because of his current ties to Duke University, that despite his apparent interest in learning a little bit about her case, it was not likely that he would get involved.

Because Durham D.A.-elect Satana Deberry is a Duke Law School graduate, I have no expectations from her to act fairly in Crystal's case either.; August 30, 2018 at 6:44 AM

Hey, kenhyderal.

I met Judge Ridgeway in the supermarket more than a year ago, and we spoke about non-legal issues for a few minutes. Really like the man. However, what seriously bothers me about Mangum's case and trial is that he refused to allow Crystal to view the 18-page document on Dr. Nichols. If it was relevant for the attorneys to see at trial, it should be relevant for her to see, as the defendant... especially representing herself Pro SE. Judge Ridgeway has refused to release it for her to see, so I believe that he, like everyone else in position of authority, was/and is in on the grand conspiracy against Crystal. I do not believe that he was surprised by the verdict.; August 30, 2018 at 6:49 AM

I take it that you, like Meier, did not have faith in, or care about, this client and assumed you probably had a guilty defendant, therefore not wanting her to testify, or, even worse yet, recognizing that after months of preparation on the Prosecutions part were unprepared to counter their contrivance. I take it, you believe that the jury didn't need to know all the intervening facts between she stabbed him and he died and even though recognizing a Welch precedent could not evaluate if Duke's medical malpractice could be considered an intervening cause un related to the stab wound. Sometimes, with common sense, juries can recognize unfairness. I take it, that you believe Crystal did not need a change in venue to a place where she was not THEE Crystal Mangum thanks to the concerted, and still ongoing, campaign by Duke Lacrosse apologists to malign her.; August 30, 2018 at 10:23 AM

Lance(no longer)theIntern said...: Coming out of lurker mode for the last time.

Kenhyderal, what I believe is stated in my post just prior to yours. Interpret it how you will.

Crystal on the stand basically stated that various police officers, neighbors, and friends were all lying; and photos that didn't corroborate her version of events were for unknown reasons all inaccurate. That is a poor strategy for the witness stand. That is why I think Daniel Meier should have kept her from testifying.

I never stated one way or another about seeking a change of venue. In criminal cases, the venue is the county where the particular crime was committed...if a change of venue IS granted, the case will likely be moved to an adjacent county. I don't know if that would help Crystal Mangum in this instance.; August 30, 2018 at 12:28 PM
Anonymous said...: The client has the absolute right to testify. The attorney cannot keep the Defendant from testifying, and the Court will make that clear. In a criminal trial, if the Defendant says they are not testifying, the Court holds a small hearing to make sure that is the Client's choice, and their choice alone. They can listen to their attorney, and take advice, but if the client wants to testify, they cannot be stopped.

Kenny and Sid would have to talk about whether Meier advised Crystal to stay off the stand or not. Of course, they will say of course he did, because he didn't want the "truth" to come out, and Crystal told the truth (even though it was contradicted by every witness and physical piece of evidence.

But, a defense attorney doesn't put their client on the stand, or keep them off. That's the 1 witness they have no discretion over. The Defendant does what they want.; August 30, 2018 at 1:40 PM

Hey, Lance.

I absolutely disagree with you on Crystal testifying at trial. I believe she was extremely credible with her testimony, restricted as it was by Meier's influence. The cross-examination didn't lay a glove on her.

There was far more damaging testimony from the perjured mouths of Dr. Nichols and Officer Marianne Bond... and false testimony under duress by Hanes and Walker. In addition to the biased media coverage, Mangum had too tall a wall to scale. Had Crystal represented herself at trial, I believe that she would have done much better.; August 31, 2018 at 6:50 AM

There's actually very little Crystal Mangum can do while incarcerated as she has no access to internet, limited postal service (for example, no certified mail or return receipt), and no access to a laptop.

Hey, gui, mon ami.

The political morass pertaining to the perpetuation of the Duke Lacrosse Myth (Mangum lied, Nifong acted for his political gain, and the three Duke defendants were victims of Mangum and Nifong). That is the story that Duke University, politicians, and the press want to maintain despite evidence of truth to the contrary.

If Mangum is cleared of the murder crime, it would call for a second look at the Duke Lacrosse case through the lens of the #MeToo Movement... Crystal would be exonerated, and Nifong would look like a courageous hero. There are many people who care about that and want to prevent it.

Anony, I know you didn't address your question to me, however let me clarify that I did not say that Professor Coleman's hypothetical involvement in Mangum's murder case would put his life at risk. I believe that it would put his professional career at risk.

If you will recall, James Coleman was an outspoken critic of former Durham D.A. Mike Nifong during the Duke Lacrosse case in 2006. I would speculate that his involvement in defense of the university and the lacrosse defendants did not hamper his prospects... if anything it likely enhanced them. His appointment to head the innocence program at Duke University Law School could be an example... though I am not sure of the timeline.

At any rate, why put his professional career at risk? A friend would not ask a friend to do that. Which reminds me, that when I first launched the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong, it was Mike Nifong who advised me against supporting him for fear that retribution towards me from powerful Duke University and its minions would ensue.

Let me know if further edification is required.; September 2, 2018 at 5:02 AM

I saw a tee-shirt yesterday that read: "I'm not arguing... I'm explaining why I'm right." To paraphrase, I'm not whining... I'm explaining why I'm right.

The NC Prisoner Legal Services (as well as Appellate Defense Attorney Ann Petersen) failed Crystal by not alerting her that she had a strong case for malicious prosecution for the two-count Larceny of Chose in Action charge. Those professional lawyers should have recognized the situation long ago... well before the three-year statute of limitations expired. They did nothing... which provided the defendants with its only line of defense against a complaint which could not be attacked on its merits.

Kenhyderal, your examples are so true. In addition, police investigators on the Duke Lacrosse case suffered, as well. I believe that the negative press coverage against Sgt. Mark Gottlieb led him to commit suicide... I believe his death is on the media's hands. Not only that, but 88 professors at Duke University who spoke for justice in the wake of the Duke Lacrosse event have been disparaged unfairly.

Hey, Abe.

I take all your comments seriously, and consider this a very good question.

I would love to have any assistance from Mike Nifong, for the very reasons that you mentioned. However, I have never asked and he has never offered. Early-on, Mike Nifong was very much concerned about my advocacy on his behalf... concerned that I might have repercussions. This probably based in large measure on the treatment he received following the Duke Lacrosse case. I always had the impression that he did not want to violate any legality by doing anything that might be considered the practice of law... even though he had no intention of practicing law in the future. And I believe that he felt under the microscope, to say the least.

In many ways he was like you and some other commenters who expressed concern for my work in helping Crystal. I don't feel constrained under the circumstances because she has received what I consider to be turncoat representation and was abandoned by the NC Prisoner Legal Services. Surely I would never have become involved with the malicious prosecution lawsuit if it had been timely filed by an attorney representing her. I attempting to abide by the injunction, I never really got involved until after NCPLS abandoned her in a January 2017 letter... although I was very much frustrated with that organization because it failed to meet with me, try to get a copy of the 18-page document from Dr. Nichols' personnel file, and did not file a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus with the Federal Court.

I have given thought about seeking assistance from Tracey Cline, too, but that would not have been a positive move for her, especially since she was trying to get her law license reinstated... which it recently was.

I have tried to get assistance from any lawyer I come across, and have tried to get a few in which I had confidence consider representing her. But no one was interested in taking her case or giving me any help or advice.

I would never ask James Coleman for assistance because, of course, he works at Duke University School of Law. I'm sure that would be frowned upon by his employers. So, basically, what legal assistance I have been able to afford Crystal has been on my own... not by choice, but by circumstance.; September 8, 2018 at 9:02 PM

September 8, 2018 at 3:07 PM

Anony, Crystal's malicious prosecution case was/is extremely strong. So strong that the defendants don't even bother to argue the merits of her case... they can only ask for the technicalities of expired statute of limitations and improper service. I can't think of a weaker defense. The only reason that the prosecution prevailed is that the judge who presided at the hearing was Judge Carolyn Thompson... a recent appointee of Roy Cooper. She obviously was beholding to him, and that is why she likely took the place of Judge Jim Hardin who was initially scheduled to her Mangum's complaint.

I do not hold hope that the courts will do anything in Mangum's case that would be to her benefit. Judge Ridgeway has been assigned to the Motion for Appropriate Relief that was filed in mid-April of this year, and he as not acted on it yet. And he has refused to release the 18-page document to Crystal who is acting pro se. I doubt that the court would do anything with an affidavit from Milton Walker, especially when the powers that be are devoted to providing immunity to Durham Police Officer Marianne Bond... along with the mainstream media. Bond's committed perjury and witness tampering in the wrongful conviction of Crystal.; September 8, 2018 at 9:15 PM
