IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

kenhyderal made a suggestion that all comments be posted on this full length comment rather than on the other thirds shar-video. Well, when I receive comments, I merely press for them to be published. I don't believe that I have any say where they are posted... I believe they are all posted automatically at the most recent entry.

I am able to post on this full entry by going directly to its comment section. However, as I said, I think that all comments I receive, irrespective of which entry comment section you make your comment, will automatically post to the latest (or uppermost) entry comment.

I'm thinking that in the future I may not post shar-videos in the video version.

Thanks for bringing attention to that issue. I had thought about it briefly, too.

Have been busy working on my WRAL-5 lawsuit. A motions hearing is less than two weeks away.

As you were.; September 15, 2018 at 1:47 PM

gui, mon ami, we Raleighians lucked out with Flo initially threatening to bisect the city, several days before landfall it took a sharp dip south which spared the Oak City (or Acorn City, as I prefer) much in the way of damage. I have been inside for the past few days with steady winds, mostly moderate, and bands of rainfall which are not too bad. I'm sure that city flood-prone areas are not doing too well. My car lucked out when a huge branch snapped off early-on and nearly smashed it. I moved my car to another location after that scare.

Thanks for your concern. All's well with me... especially grateful for no power outage.; September 15, 2018 at 1:53 PM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

Thank you for the well wishes regarding Hurricane Flo. As I may have already mentioned, we Raleighians escaped the brunt of its fury when it changed course as it approached landfall and jagged southwest from the predicted track which had it bisecting the city. Fortunately no power outages and little wind damage, but some local flooding in prone areas here.

Today is sunny, with a mild zephyr and a return to heat and humidity. Was able to get out yesterday and file a Memorandum in Support of Summary Judgment in my libel lawsuit against WRAL-5 News. The hearing will be held in one week, so am busy preparing for it now.

Have a good day, wherever you are.; September 18, 2018 at 6:53 AM

September 18, 2018 at 9:18 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

From the interrogatories I received, I expect that WRAL-5 News will present a res judicata defense. I don't anticipate that they'll try to defend their news article based upon it being truthful or lacking malice or causing no injury. The article of July 4, 2016 was untruthful, malicious, and caused me injury (specifically exposing me to racist hate groups such as Shit Skin Plantation).

I would expect, and anticipate a summary judgment in my favor. At the least, I would expect that the defendants' Motion to Dismiss to be dismissed. We'll know in less than a week.; September 19, 2018 at 7:28 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

Am busy preparing for the Tuesday hearing, but I should have time to put something on the blog site. The Complaint I filed for this libel lawsuit is similar to the one filed for the first libel lawsuit. What I will post however is a Memorandum in Support of Summary Judgment which I filed September 17, 2018.

As far as the defendants go, I don't recall a Response other than an Interrogatory with four questions... which appears to be a res judicata defense. Not much there, so I won't post it.

Hopefully will have time to file it sometime tomorrow, the 20th.; September 19, 2018 at 7:55 PM
Dr. Caligari said...: The Complaint I filed for this libel lawsuit is similar to the one filed for the first libel lawsuit.

Wait-- you're saying this is the second libel suit you filed against WRAL? For the same report? No wonder they're relying on res judicata-- you can't do that, as you learned in your suits against Duke.; September 20, 2018 at 7:42 AM

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Unfortunately, justice was not served today in court as the Judge Holt granted the defendants' Motion to Dismiss. I have no one to blame but Judge Bryan Collins who initially made a ruling based on his preferred outcome rather than merits of the case, and myself for not making sure that my appeal on his initial ruling was perfect.

It was my hope that the overwhelming merits of my case would prevail over legal technicalities, and as predicted by Nay-saying commenters, I didn't stand a chance. As a result of the judge's ruling, the defamatory July 4, 2016 online article will continue to call me a "Durham man" (though I have no connection to the Bull City) and it will continue to state that my April 5, 2011 lawsuit was about the 2006 Duke Lacrosse case involving three Duke student athletes (in which I had no standing) and not the true discrimination case in which Duke University plotted with premeditation to have me arrested on trumped up charges following a 2010 interview with Justice Stephen Breyer at the Duke Law School building.

Subsequent to today's ruling, people who continue to view the article in the future will believe that my 2011 lawsuit was an attempt to have criminal charges reinstated against the Duke Lacrosse defendants and therefore have contempt for me... including the like-minded bigots who visit the offensive and vile racist online sites that have singled me out based solely on the WRAL-5 News online article of July 4, 2016.

I need to concentrate now on making sure that there are no errors in the complicated appellate process involving Crystal Mangum... so that is where my attention will be focused for the immediate future. The so-called justice system can be very unforgiving when that is what it wants to be.; September 25, 2018 at 2:00 PM

I do not have his contact information, do not know him, and I believe that my time would be better served in protecting Mangum's appeal.

Anony, you were correct in your prediction regarding the outcome of my hearing. However, I believe that my complaint had merit and should not have been judged upon the res judicata standard.

Though I faced an uphill battle with my second filing, had I not filed then I would not have known whether or not I could have succeeded.

Hey, gui, mon ami.

Yes, I agree that Milton is intelligent enough to know that volunteering to do something that might help Crystal would not be in his best interests... as have many, if not almost all people concluded. On that same train of thought, I would not want to subject him to retribution if the goal of freeing Crystal can be accomplished without his involvement.

The phone conversation is different, because his statements were spontaneous and voluntary... not elicited. Because the State recorded them, I believe that that is evidence that should be accessible to Crystal. So, all considered, I have pressed emphasis on the recorded phone call rather than affidavit.; September 29, 2018 at 5:23 AM

September 27, 2018 at 7:16 PM

Hey, Harr Supporter.

Let me discuss my actions and policy regarding comments to this site. First of all, all comments for screening are published immediately as soon as I become aware of them because the process easily consists of clicking a publish button... and this can be done on my cell phone. So lag in time from receiving a comment to its appearance on the site usually depends on how long it takes me to find it. I check my phone pretty frequently, so a post should not take more than one or two hours to appear once it is submitted... the exception being when I am asleep.

Regarding content of the comments, I will publish just about anything that is not profane or in incredibly poor taste. I will not publish comments that attack other commenters. Comments that attack me will likely be posted if they are free of vulgarity. Also I am more likely to post comments that borderline decency if the sender goes by a name or handle... that is anything other than "anonymous."

Regarding responses, I will try to make it a habit of answering comments when I first arise, at the very least. That doesn't exclude responses later in the day. Responding is not as easy as posting comments as I must use my laptop and go online. Oft-times I am not at home.

Because the volume at this time is not as heavy as it was before I started screening, I will try to answer all serious questions addressed to me. If I can contribute to questions directed to kenhyderal, I will.

I want this site to be a serious one, with dialogue about serious social/criminal justice issues. However, I also want it to be a fun site. I don't mind publishing friendly and good-natured banter between commenters.

At times, I must admit, I feel that the aim of some comments, especially by anonys, is to ridicule me and make fun of the blog site. Despite that, I will likely post such comments as long as they are decent, but I believe that these anonymous commenters are missing an opportunity to engage in civil discourse about issues related to the justice system (especially Crystal Mangum and the Duke Lacrosse case and its principles) that the mainstream media is bent on keeping suppressed.

So, no, I'm not ignoring your question. (See next comment/response); September 29, 2018 at 5:43 AM
Nifong Supporter said...: Anonymous SidDaddy Supporter said...
What question is that?

September 28, 2018 at 5:23 AM

SidDaddy Supporter, the question in question was "Have I popped the question?" I take this to mean: Did I ask Crystal to marry me?

Although I am not keen on discussing my private life, I will say that I believe Crystal would make me and any man a fantastic spouse. She has so many good qualities such as kindness, inner strength based on a religious background, intelligence, a great sense of humor... in addition to being beautiful inside and out.

What I want in the long run is what's best for Crystal. The main problem I wrestle with is the age difference, which is considerable. Furthermore, once she is released she needs to address her family situation and give thought to her future and unfulfilled ambitions.

Short answer is that I would be blessed to have her as my mate, but don't know it it would be reciprocal in the long term. Time will tell. First, my objective is getting her free.

Hope this answers your question. I don't intend on discussing this issue further, at least while she is incarcerated.; September 29, 2018 at 5:55 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

I admit that your words were safely prophetic and I got smashed at the September 25th hearing. But, there is a saying which I want to share with you that comes from an adventure novel from my favorite author Clive Cussler. The book, co-authored by Graham Brown, is titled "Zero Hour," and in it the heroine, a scientist, tells the protagonist, "All things are impossible until they're proven otherwise."

Prevailing against res judicata, I believe is possible... although I did not succeed in my attempt to prove it so.; September 29, 2018 at 6:04 AM

I have said this before, and I will say it again: the phone call is an unsworn, out-of-court statement.

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

You may be right about the phone recording and the affidavit, however, it is my belief that there is little difference between a video recording and an audio recording... that they're both pieces of evidence.

Since I have neither the wherewithal nor inclination to track down Milton Walker for an affidavit (someone I don't know who lives in another city) I will not pursue that course of action to attain an affidavit... besides, my time is preoccupied with producing shar-videos.

What I would ask of you is: How long would you anticipate that it would take for Judge Ridgeway to respond to Mangum's MAR? Thanks.; September 30, 2018 at 4:24 AM

Wait a minute. Why does your belief even matter?

I thought that Mangum was representing herself pro se. I thought that you were only providing administrative and logistical support. If so, Mangum--and not you--is making all judgments on legal matters.

In your administrative role, you are required to give Magnum all of the facts--not your opinion. When she has the facts, she--and not you--should make the legal decisions. If she believes that an affidavit from Walker would strengthen her case, you should attempt to obtain one.

The facts you should provide Mangum include the following:

1. Lawyers on your blog have commented that Walker's testimony, if consistent with your description, has the potential to advance an MAR on Mangum's murder case if Bond did threaten him and suborn perjury.
2. Lawyers on your blog have commented that without an affidavit from Walker or a subpoena requiring his testimony, the recording of the conversation is not admissible as evidence because it is hearsay.
3. Lawyers on your blog provided case law to support their conclusion.
4. Despite the advice provided by lawyers on your blog, you continue to be of the belief that the recording is powerful evidence and an affidavit is not required.
5. Lawyers on your blog have stated directly that your belief is not correct and that Mangum's motion will be dismissed for lack of evidence.
6. In all of your lawsuits and motions filed on behalf on Mangum, your legal conclusions have consistently been held by courts to have been incorrect.
7. As a result, you have never been successful in any lawsuit or motion.
8. The lawyers on your blog have consistently been proven correct not only when they predicted what the outcome of a case would be, but also why the court would decide against you.

If you provide her with all of this information, Mangum is free to accept your opinion and disregard the advice provided by lawyers on your blog. Her decision affects her alone, and she bears all of the downside from making a mistake, However, if you fail provide her with all of the information (particularly including the opinions of the lawyers on your blog), then "her" mistake is entirely your responsibility.

If you fail to provide Magnum with all of those facts, I will be forced to conclude the following:

1. You lied to your readers when you claimed to be providing only administrative and logistical assistance to Mangum.
2. You lied to the North Carolina Bar when you claimed to be providing only administrative and logistical assistance to Mangum.
3. You lied to the court when you claimed to be providing only administrative and logistical assistance to Mangum.
4. You violated a court order that precludes you from practicing law and shoudl be held in contempt of court and punished.
5. Most importantly, you lied to Mangum when you claimed to be helping her. That is truly unforgivable.; September 30, 2018 at 1:31 PM

September 30, 2018 at 9:24 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

I'd like to make two points.

First, Mangum and I tried hard to obtain legal counsel that had her best interests at heart... not those of Duke and Officer Bond. Had she had decent legal representation, the statute of limitations on the malicious prosecution would have never been applicable. I tried to get attorneys from the NAACP, ACLU, Innocence Inquiry Commission, NC Center on Actual Innocence, other innocence groups, and several attorneys in private practice. My involvement in Mangum's case was not the first option, but rather a stopgap or last resort type of measure. Once she was abandoned by the NC Prisoner Legal Services and had no representation or help from any quarter, I actively inserted myself into the equation. It is my position that some help, even if amateurish, is better than none.

Secondly, your medical analogy falls short. Consider this following scenario: Suppose you are hiking with a friend and she slips and sustains a severe laceration to her left arm on the edge of a jagged rock and possible broken bone. To compound matters, the wound begins bleeding profusely.
You're not going to say to yourself, "Hmmm. I don't have a medical degree so I'm not going to apply a tourniquet, I'm not going to put pressure on the wound, and I'm not going to splint the arm." This is an emergency and you're going to do whatever you can to salvage the limb and perhaps even save your friends life until you can get her access to a hospital or medical first-responder. In other words, I believe that you would assume the role of a "Lay Healer."

That is what I've been doing in Crystal's case... legally applying a tourniquet, placing pressure and placing splints. For example, had I not filed the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, the statute of limitations would have kicked in and Mangum would never have had access to the Federal court on appeal. Had my intervention with the malicious prosecution complaint been earlier, she would have avoided the untimely filing defense of the State. (However, I had, in good faith, been abiding by the injunction against me... that is until Mangum was abandoned by the NC Prisoner Legal Services and encouraged to represent herself.); October 1, 2018 at 4:48 AM

8. The lawyers on your blog have consistently been proven correct not only when they predicted what the outcome of a case would be, but also why the court would decide against you.

If you provide her with all of this information, Mangum is free to accept your opinion and disregard the advice provided by lawyers on your blog. Her decision affects her alone, and she bears all of the downside from making a mistake, However, if you fail provide her with all of the information (particularly including the opinions of the lawyers on your blog), then "her" mistake is entirely your responsibility.

If you fail to provide Magnum with all of those facts, I will be forced to conclude the following:

1. You lied to your readers when you claimed to be providing only administrative and logistical assistance to Mangum.
2. You lied to the North Carolina Bar when you claimed to be providing only administrative and logistical assistance to Mangum.
3. You lied to the court when you claimed to be providing only administrative and logistical assistance to Mangum.
4. You violated a court order that precludes you from practicing law and shoudl be held in contempt of court and punished.
5. Most importantly, you lied to Mangum when you claimed to be helping her. That is truly unforgivable.

Hey, Anony.

Thank you for your comments.

Tell you what I shall do:
(1) Since I lack direct access to Milton Walker, I will have Mangum contact him. Besides, she should be in better position to encourage him to produce an affidavit about his false testimony at her 2013 trial.
(2) If Mr. Walker is agreeable and produces an affidavit, I will place my grubby hands upon it as soon as possible.
(3) Once a physical hard copy of the affidavit is in my possession, I will travel to Durham (I'm not a Durham man) and file it with Mangum's MAR case.
(4) I will keep commenters aware of the stages as they progress, and if they progress, on this blog comment section.

I will broach the topic of the Walker affidavit the next time I communicate with Ms. Mangum.

I believe that there is nothing more I can do regarding this issue. Let me know if you consider my proposal to be satisfactory.; October 1, 2018 at 5:08 AM

Given Mr. Walker's relationship with Mangum, I would be suspect of any attempt by Mr. Walker to recant, mitigate or minimize his sworn in-court testimony - especially if he is mentally handicapped, as you claim, and knowing that he is being manipulated by Mangum and Sid.

This is a pointless exercise because we have no statement from Mr. Walker and neither Sid nor Mangum appear anxious to get one.

Hey, kenhyderal.

Your assessment on this issue involving Milton Walker is exactly the same as mine.

Hey, gui, mon ami.

As a good friend of Crystal, it really wasn't necessary for Milton Walker to lie about Crystal lunging at him with a knife in hand. All he really needed to do was tell the truth... that she did not have a knife; a truth corroborated by both officers at the scene.

There's no doubt in my mind that the reason he lied is exactly what he told Crystal over the phone... that he was threatened by Officer Bond to lie about the knife. He was intimidated.; October 2, 2018 at 4:08 AM

Hey, Abe.

In case you may not be aware, the damaging 2013 trial testimony we are discussing has to do with Walker saying that Mangum lunged at him with a knife in her hand in the February 2010 so-called arson incident. That he lied about her holding a knife is irrefutably false as both Durham police officers involved testified under oath that they did not see a knife.

It was evident from trial transcript that Walker did not want to testify against Mangum whom he considered to be his friend. As he told Crystal over the phone in March 2018, he lied about her holding a knife because he felt compelled to do so... being intimidated by Officer Bond.

Regarding manipulation of Milton Walker, I have never communicated with him... so I do not know how you conclude that. As far as Crystal goes, she called him in March 2018 in response to his request.

Though he may have mental issues, I do not believe that he is debilitated to the point of not being reliable. If he is mentally deranged to the extent that would invalidate anything he says, then the prosecution should never have introduced him as a 404(b) witness during Mangum's trial.

Although to date I haven't aggressively pursued obtaining an affidavit from Mr. Walker for reasons previously cited, such action now seems more appealing. I will discuss it with Crystal when I next see her.; October 2, 2018 at 4:23 AM

Thanks. Your suggestion makes sense. After giving it some thought, I believe that I will do as Anony recommended not long ago. When I next see Crystal, I will lay out the pros and cons of Walker submitting an affidavit -- to both her and Milton. Then I will let her decide what course she wants to take. Since she has his contact information, she can reach him... and then he can contact me. I believe that it might be difficult to get his involvement, but if he's agreeable to an affidavit, it would be to her benefit. I do not see any downside for her with his affidavit.; October 2, 2018 at 4:36 AM

Hey, Anony.

First, I appreciate and respect your comments. But kenhyderal, myself, and all other commenters are involved in a serious discussion involving an innocent female's wrongful incarceration. The topic of Milton's credibility cannot be divorced from his mental status... and during trial, the prosecution alluded to him being "mentally slow" or something to that affect. It is something that must be taken into consideration when requesting of him to submit an affidavit.

Personally, and by no means professionally, it appears to me that Milton has minimal mental deficiency that certainly is not incapacitating. I believe that any statements he makes on the affidavit would hold up under questioning.

I assure you that in discussing his mental status, we all do so with respect and are cognizant of his privacy rights and concerns.; October 2, 2018 at 4:49 AM

Note also he was a protesting witness ordered by Judge Ridgeway to answer all questions Coggins Franks put to him. Milton is a kind-hearted and simple person.

Hey, Anony.

Unfortunately, you are mistaken. The 404(b) issue, which I believed to be the worst possible issue upon which to appeal, was the ONLY issue that Mangum's appellate defense attorney Ann Petersen made the direct appeal. Surely other issues were far more worthy of appeal... foremost being ineffective assistance of counsel. Further issues would include the judge's failure to allow the defendant to see the 18-page document on the medical examiner Dr. Clay Nichols. Then there's the perjured testimony of four of the State's star witnesses... including Durham Police Officer Marianne Bond (before the grand jury) and the likely witness tampering with Milton Walker.

Mangum's legal representation at trial and post-conviction has be abysmal... past the point of traitorous.; October 3, 2018 at 5:56 AM

Hey, Abe.

I don't believe I can provide a better response to your question than that by kenhyeral at October 3, 2018 at 9:31 AM.

I would merely add that, as you know, the scope of what we categorize as mental illness is quite extensive... affecting credibility of one's statements in differing ways, if at all. For example the credibility in someone with retardation would be less than someone suffering from depression. Credibility of someone with schizophrenia may run the gamut, not to mention individuals with personality disorders.

I am unaware of any mental health history involving Crystal Mangum, lengthy or otherwise, although as kenhyderal suggests, there may be some depression. She certainly has reasons for being depressed. However, on a personal note, having visited her almost weekly for the past six years, I have found her to be extremely strong mentally; based in large measure on her religious beliefs and knowledge that there are people actively working in her best interests for her release. In fact, her mental strength is one of the things I most admire about her.; October 3, 2018 at 6:07 AM

Hey, gui, mon ami.

I believe that Milton considered himself to be a friend of Crystal. It is plain from the trial transcript that he did not want to testify... even objecting before the court. But, he was forced to do so.

The threat of incarceration or other legal consequences, regardless of what his mental status may be, can be extremely intimidating. There is no doubt in my mind that he felt compelled to provide testimony on the witness stand that he knew was false because of threats by Officer Bond and/or the Durham prosecution team.

Also, to avoid a contempt of court charge, Milton Walker could always have testified truthfully... and not lied about Mangum lunging at him with a knife in hand. Neither of the two police officers at the scene testified to that.; October 3, 2018 at 6:15 AM

I am confused by your belief that Milton Walker was telling the truth on the stand about Crystal lunging at him with a knife. He testified prior to the two officers who were at the February 2010 incident, and both officers stated during Mangum's trial under oath that they did not see Mangum with a knife. Officers' Thompson and Tyler's testimony is contrary to that of Walker's when it comes to whether or not Mangum lunged at him with a knife.

It sounds as though you disbelieve the officers' testimony that they did not see Mangum with a knife. Is that your position? Would you clarify on this point? Thanks.; October 4, 2018 at 7:54 AM

As far as Mangum's mental health records, neither I nor Mangum have access to them or have seen them. Mangum did try to obtain a copy of the mental health records by the psychiatrist who evaluated her at the court's order has had her request ignored. I doubt whether Roy Cooper has even seen Mangum's mental health record. Using Mangum's mental health status was a pretext for not wanting to prosecute her for filing a false police report. Besides lacking probable cause for such a charge, taking her to court could bring out the truth which would damage the Duke Lacrosse Myth.; October 4, 2018 at 8:07 AM

Milton testified the way he testified. The officers testified the way they testified. Is it possible someone lied? Yes. But I also believe it is possible for different people viewing the same event from different perspectives to observe and recollect different things. In any event, the jury got to hear from Milton, form their own opinion about his credibility, and reach their own conclusion.

From Mangum's perspective, it would have been better if Milton did not testify as his testimony was no favorable to her. Her attorney tried to prevent that from happening and wanted to appeal that point, but you dissuaded Mangum from pursuing it. You have consistently counseled Mangum in ways that were decidedly not in her best legal interests. That more than anything is the reason she is still in prison and will stay there for another 7+ years.

I also think the greatest harm to Mangum's case was her decision to testify on her own behalf (against the advice of counsel and at your urging). Without her testimony, I think Mangum likely would have been convicted of manslaughter and would be out of prison by now. But, what do I know?

You also gave Mangum legally incorrect advice regarding the cause of Mr. Daye's death. That may have prevented her from obtaining and/or accepting a favorable plea deal.

I don't think your claim about Milton recanting his testimony is going anywhere. Mangum's case is over. Her appeals are exhausted. She is not a suitable candidate for pardon, early release or commutation. There is nothing left for her to do but finish her sentence. If she wants to spend that time filing frivolous lawsuits, that's okay by me.

Hey, Abe.

On the point of whether Mangum "lunged" at Daye while holding a knife and supposedly yelling, "I'm going to stab you," I'm definitely inclined to believe both of the police officers who said that they did not see Mangum with a knife in the 2010 incident. A reasonable person would believe that Milton gave false testimony... and the fact that it was harmful to his friend makes it all the more likely that he felt coerced to make it... as he admitted in his phone conversation with Mangum in March 2018.

As far as I'm concerned, the 404(b) argument on appeal was the weakest. It wasn't even worthy of an appeal. It only continued to put Mangum in a bad light... especially since it was an un-winnable issue. What is disgraceful is the fact that it was the only issue appealed of a plethora of other valid appellate issues at hand, foremost being ineffective assistance of counsel.

Testifying on her own behalf was without doubt a positive for Crystal. The prosecutor never laid a glove on her during cross-exam. Unfortunately, her turncoat attorney Meier demanded that she not mention anything medical or related to Daye's death.

As far as legally incorrect advice I gave to Mangum about Daye's cause of death, I know not about what you speak. Further elucidation is required.

Whether or not you want to believe it or not, Crystal Mangum is going to be released from prison due to my efforts... and hopefully soon.; October 6, 2018 at 4:02 AM

Sid,

I understand that pursuing Mangum's long history of mental illness and the evidence of drug and alcohol abuse issues would be difficult for you and damaging to her.

However, in light of your and kenny's recent tactic of impugning Milton's mental acuity, certainly you can understand and appreciate why it is relevant and fair game in assessing the credibility of her bizarre and contradictory claims she made in both the false rape case and her murder defense.

Hey, Abe. kenhyderal and I are not impugning Milton's mental acuity. We're involved in serious, yet respectful and reserved dialogue about his mental status that could have a bearing on his ability to be manipulated by police to give false testimony at trial... and to an extent, the credibility of hia testimony.

Certainly Crystal Mangum's mental status is fair game, but not as germane since it deals more or less with depression... as I am led to believe. Mangum's mental status had nothing to do with her being sexually victimized by partygoers at the beer-guzzling/stripper-ogling 2006 Duke Lacrosse party, or her nonfatal infliction of a stab wound to an abusive and alcoholic boyfriend in self-defense.; October 6, 2018 at 4:22 AM

WRAL and all media-types can and will ignore any story which sheds positive light on Crystal Mangum. Today's media is more directed towards shaping opinion rather than objectively presenting facts to allow their consumers to reach opinions on their own.

As was evident in the Kavanaugh hearings, much emphasis regarding credibility is placed upon when, in relation to an event, a complaint or accusation is made. By my last post, I was merely making notice of my concerns about Crystal being poisoned. My belief is based upon physical findings on my last visit with her on October 6th. I need to conduct more research into what's going on with her before I will discuss it in detail on this site. It should be within a week or so that I discuss it comprehensively.

Hey, Nifong Supporter Supporter.

I visited Crystal last Saturday and was assuaged by her condition. Keep in mind that I expressed my concerns about the poisoning possibility to this site and to two newspaper sources for the purpose of committing my concerns to the record. If we have learned nothing else from the Kavanaugh hearings, it is to make record of any assault or injustice as proximate to the incident as possible. Am I 100% certain that she hasn't been poisoned? No. Only blood testing by a third party would give me full assurances. While she is incarcerated that will never happen. Ergo, I will not revisit that issue unless it is warranted in the future.; October 15, 2018 at 4:32 AM

October 13, 2018 at 8:35 PM

Hey, Anony.

Sorry to hear about your horrific experience, but glad you escaped relatively unscathed. Such an event, as I'm sure you're aware firsthand, can be quite traumatizing. It's good that you're teaching your children to reduce their risk of exposure to sexual abuse, but as you will probably agree, there's no guarantees against such an attack regardless of lifestyle and activities.

Unfortunately, sexual abuse crimes are often committed in seclusion, and cold-hard evidence is usually impossible to obtain. Personally, I believe Dr. Ford over Judge Kavanaugh because of his personal past history of getting drunk to the point of passing out and his being described as an aggressive drunk. I do not believe that Kavanaugh was forthcoming about the problems with youthful drinking. My opinion on the matter is that Kavanaugh did forcibly assault Ford, as she testified.

For Dr. Ford, as with Crystal Mangum and many other female sexual assault victims, there's no upside to making allegations if they are, in fact, not meritorious.; October 15, 2018 at 4:46 AM
