Hey, Anony. Hardy-harr-harr. So funny I almost forgot to laugh.

If one is seeking to lance a boil, it is a best practice to seek out a physician or veterinarian. If one is seeking to file a lawsuit, it is best to seek out a lawyer, as physicians usually have no clue about filing lawsuits and lawyers know little about lancing boils.

Sidney has well demonstrated so many times over the years that he knows little about lawsuits. Had he consulted a lawyer, he would have found out about Rules 4(j)(4)(b) and (c). Sidney would have us believe that he thought that the Attorney General was not a party and thus did not need to be served. Yet one of those lawyers would have pointed him to the rules of civil procedure which require state agencies to designate an agent for service of process, that the state agency so notify the Attorney General of that agent (so the AG can direct service appropriately) or failing to so designate, then the rules provide for service upon the Attorney General. Any simple lawyer knows this, and could easily perform this task, just as any physician or veterinarian can lance a boil. This is why North Carolina, and all the other states and the federal government require people practicing law to have certain training and pass an exam to test if they have the basic knowledge of the law to hold themselves out as lawyers. Sidney, has no such training, and he continually proves the need for legal training to be competent. As is, he is incompetent to practice law and should have nothing to do with it.

As he continues to "advise" Crystal Gail Mangum, he is giving her incompetent advice. As she continues to take it, says much about her. But then, she has a long history of making bad choices going back to falsely reporting not one, but two gang rapes, stealing a cab, making her living as a prostitute, knifing her lover's tire, setting fire to her lover's clothes in his bathtub, and killing a different lover. I sincerely hope her lengthy prison sentence is helping her work out her anger issues. Otherwise, I fear this will be just one episode of a life sentence on the installment plan.

Hey, Anony.

Crystal did rely on lawyers and look where it got her. Convicted of second-degree murder in a case that was essentially conviction-proof. A Direct Appeal on a single 404(b)witness issue. No attempt to obtain the sealed 18-page document from the medical examiner's personnel file. No willingness to meet with me, a physician, about the medical issues of Daye's death. No attempt to file a Habeas Corpus with the Federal Court.

Crystal and I have both reached out to lawyers for help with her representation, but they have refused, and the NC Prisoner Legal Services abandoned her.

If a lawyer has a boil and can't find a doctor or vet, is he/she better off just letting it fester? I don't think so.

Likewise, if Mangum can't find a lawyer to represent her who is willing to place her interests above those of shielding Duke Hospital's medical malpractice and the State witnesses' criminality, is she better off just sitting in the hoosegow and waiting for her sentence to run? I don't think so.

As for the issue regarding service of Summons and Complaint, it is a weakly absurd and desperate defense of the Durham District Attorney's Office to say that the complaint should be dismissed because the Summons and Complaint was sent to the actual defendant instead of the NC Attorney General's Office. And, by the way, the Attorney General's Office was not a party in the civil action. Neither was the Durham Police Department, as some media-types have reported in their limited coverage. The two defendants were Officer Marianne Bond and the Durham D.A.'s Office... period.

Hope that this elucidation will suffice. Notify me if additional enlightenment is required.

And for all of Dr. Harr's "help," where is Mangum now?

Dr. Harr, if you really want to help Mangum, and she really can't find a lawyer, at least read a law book. Service of process may seem to be a technicality to you, but it isn't to the Court. Why didn't you at least read Rule 4 before trying to serve process?

Making uneducated mistakes like that show that the court did the public a real service by enjoining you from the unauthorized practice of law.

I predict a unanimous affirmance of the trial court's grant of summary judgment to the defendants.

However, answer me this: If Crystal's attorneys were so competent and adept, why was a malicious prosecution complaint not filed in a timely manner? That is the big question for which no one seems to have an answer.

Because the malicious prosecution lawsuit is frivolous. When the judge rejected the motion to dismiss the larceny charges, probable cause was confirmed. A criminal defense attorney has no obligation to advise a client that they have the right to file a frivolous civil lawsuit.

Speaking of frivolous lawsuits, how is your appeal coming along in the WRAL case?

Hey, Anony.

First of all, my lawsuit against WRAL is not frivolous. If you will look at the July 4, 2016 article you will note that it now carries a CORRECTION at its beginning. There were four falsities, on its November 5, 2018, WRAL admitted to one of the four.

If justice prevails in this case, so will I.

Anony, when Judge Thompson ruled on the malicious prosecution case, she dismissed it not on its merits but due to technicalities of untimeliness and improper service of Summons and Complaint. She never addressed the issue of probable cause... and neither did the defendants.

Hah, Dr. Caligari.

It's a good thing I'm not a betting man, or else you'd lose your shirt... or be reduced to walking around in a barrel. The fact is that I believe the NC Court of Appeals will reverse and remand the case back to the lower court.

As far as the court enjoining me from helping Crystal, how did it do the public a favor? What do you think I've been doing for more than a year?

Oh, Ye of little faith...

Remember the Clive Cussler/Graham Brown quote "All things are impossible until they're proven otherwise." Although I believe for Crystal Mangum to have her malicious prosecution ruling reversed and remanded is not all that impossible.

Justice is on the way!

Hey, Anony.

Yes it really was silly overall, but it did have a scintilla of pun/witticism which I thought quite clever.

Actually, I'll post just about any comment as long as it is not hateful, derogatory towards other commenters or individuals... even if not made in good faith. Instead of not posting the extremely silly comments, I will often directly reply to the commenter without posting the comment itself.

Given your unbroken track record of losing every case you ever filed, that kind of bluster does not help your credibility.

I'm not your lawyer, so don't take anything I say as legal advice, but, as a general observation, boasting about committing criminal contempt of court on a public forum is not usually a good idea.

As you would have known if you had actually read my comment, I was not referring to the frivolous malicious prosecution lawsuit you/Crystal filed. I realize that your lawsuit was dismissed because it was barred by the statute of limitations and not on its merits.

I was answering your question why no lawyer had recommended filing a malicious prosecution lawsuit on a timely basis. I concluded that a malicious prosecution lawsuit was frivolous because Judge Ridgeway's decision to reject the defense motion to dismiss the larceny charges confirmed that probable cause existed. The fact that your current lawsuit was dismissed prior to a court ruling on its merits does not change that conclusion.

I believe you have taken a frivolous lawsuit and made it even more frivolous. In essence, you are claiming that the statute of limitations should not apply to you/Crystal because a lawyer did not file a frivolous lawsuit on a timely basis.

Hey, Anony.

Unfortunately, since working to free Crystal related to her arrest for stabbing Daye and his subsequent death due to medical malpractice, I have not been able to have time to work on the comic strip. I never thought getting Crystal free after the stabbing would take more than a couple of weeks or a month at the most. Never believed the State would even take the case to trial. There were times when I made attempts to work on the strip by writing out a story-line, but I just didn't have the time to at any capacity on the strip and devote 100% to helping Crystal... so I stopped before I got started.

The five episodes that I've done of "The MisAdventures of Super-Duper Cooper" are enough to last for years. Once Crystal is freed and exonerated, I hope to go back to working on the comic strip.

Hey, Anony.

Thanks for the advice, which I believe is sound and probably best to heed, in most circumstances. It wasn't my intent to be boastful about it; rather just to make a point in the blog's comment section. If the State Bar and Courts want to go after me for injunction violation, there's much more potent ammunition than my blog site comments.

To begin with, I never felt the State Bar was keen in pursing an injunction against me for helping Crystal. I believe it did so at the urging of media-types, and possibly others. After all, the only thing that I'm trying to do is what Crystal's attorneys refused to do... fight with her best interests being a priority rather than Duke.

Hey, Anony.

My second lawsuit was dismissed because of res judicata and untimeliness of filing. It has been my position that my second lawsuit was nothing more than a continuation of the first... as they were both essentially the same. My position also is that the first lawsuit should be disregarded as its judge Bryan Collins did not record why he reached his decision and because of procedural mistakes by the court's clerk.

I do not think my lawsuit is frivolous, and neither does Judge Collins. Otherwise he would have been able to explain in writing why my lawsuit was deficient and deserving of being dismissed. Hah.

It would lead to more meaningful discussion if you discussed the subject in the comment to which you were responding. I clearly was discussing a malicious malpractice lawsuit. I used the phrase "malicious prosecution" three times. You discussed an entirely different lawsuit (was it the second WRAL lawsuit?) without being specific.

You appear to believe that a legal filing merely requires that you (1) state your opinion, (2) come up with some rationalization for your opinion and (3) demand a jury trial. With that strategy, you will rarely, if ever, be successful.

Actually, I think Sidney is doing well by his continual lawsuits.
The thing to remember is that Crystal is a very fragile person. It is important for her to know that there is someone working on her behalf. Other so-called friends (e.g. Kenhyderal) do nothing for her. The fact that Sidney is not accomplishing anything is not that important. And then, (who knows?) miracles sometimes happen.

HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Avengers' Endgame is not the only one premiering this weekend. The J4N's Endgame that will lead to Crystal Mangum's freedom and exoneration has been launched, and I expect that long elusive justice will soon be achieved in her case.

My duty has been to lay forth the truths of her case based upon the facts. I believe that I have done that with my latest project which I will upload within several hours.

So, fasten your seat-belts, firmly grip your armrests (and you Mangum/Nifong-detractors, have your crying towels at hand) because the cruel game sponsored by the State, Courts, and Media over the past eight years will soon be at an end.

As you were.
