Hey, Anony.

You ask a good question. What I have done so far is to not produce any more interactive sharlogs... instead concentrating on shar-videos. I will continue to use Flash to create the SWF Flash files, then convert them using software to videos and use YouTube to embed them online.

My work in bringing justice to Crystal prevents me from having time to learn how to produce animated features using HTML.

Bottom line is that going forward I will continue to upload videos, and at the end of 2020 will cease producing Flash movies.

A question for you: What do you think of the NC Court of Appeals' actions in Crystal Mangum's appeal to the lower court's August 15, 2018 decision?; February 27, 2020 at 5:19 PM
Nifong Supporter said...: HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE!!

This has been a terrible week for me, with regards to setbacks in my efforts on Crystal's behalf. However, horribly tragic is the passing away of my favorite author this past Monday, Clive Cussler. I tremendously enjoyed his nautical-themed novels... very unpredictable plots, interesting characters who are well developed, abundant levity and camaraderie, all adventures were fun to read. When I learned of his death I was on a walk and re-reading his Dirk Pitt adventure "Treasure."

Years ago Mr. Cussler was kind enough to take the time to even write me a letter by hand in response to a letter I had sent to him regarding a real life incident which resembled a theme from his books. His kindness in that regard, cemented him as being my favorite novelist. Anyway, I am extremely saddened that I will not be able to meet him in the future.

Life is precious and it is fleeting. That is why I work with such urgency to bring Crystal justice. The state, courts, and media, on the other hand, do their best to run out the clock for another seven years of incarceration for Crystal.

As you were.; February 27, 2020 at 5:33 PM

The Court of Appeals did the exact right thing related to the lower court ruling, as has been repeatedly explained to you. Just because you refuse to listen and disagree doesn't make you right. Everyone other than you and Kenny who are dishonest and emotionally abusive towards Crystal with your false promises, has said this is exactly what will happen and told you what you need to do in order to try and obtain a different result. You refuse to listen and learn, because your goal isn't freedom for Crystal, it's for her to stay right where she is, so she has to see you, but to think you are fighting for her.; February 28, 2020 at 4:58 AM

Then stop beating a dead horse (the wrongful death action, which was time-barred when you filed it and wouldn't have led to Mangum's release in any event), and do something that might help: read a lawbook and learn how to push the MAR forward. Anything else is spinning wheels.; February 28, 2020 at 7:39 AM

Let me refer both of you to my post of 2-18-20 @ 8:37 AM. Don't try and make a joke out of the injustice meted out to Crystal Mangum; for your own sadistic pleasure. What you are doing is premeditated cruelty. It's an act of real cowardice to pick on a person, vulnerable as her.

February 23, 2020 at 4:44 PM

Kenny,

This is typical of the inane comments you post here.

Of course, other posters are going to mock and ridicule your statements about mystery rapists, secret plans to interview Duke Hospital witnesses, and conversations with your internet friend Kilgo. None of the posters are "picking on" Crystal. They are simply responding to your constant trolling.; March 1, 2020 at 12:23 PM
Anonymous said...: I'm also curious how/why Kenny is so sure that Crystal's lawyers didn't interview these witnesses and do other things to investigate. He seems very sure of what was, and was not, done, yet by his own admission he's never reached out to any of the lawyers or witnesses himself to find out.

He's a keyboard warrior who literally does nothing that can actually help anyone.; March 2, 2020 at 9:55 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

You are right. I should be pushing forward the MAR. Yesterday, March 6, 2020, I went to the Durham Court clerk's office to check on the status of the MAR filed December 9th after the MAR filed October 31st was rejected due to the incorrect court named on the heading of the document's first page.

I was told the last activity on the MAR was its return to Crystal Mangum. On further dialogue with Mangum's chart before me, it was evident that the December 9th MAR was buried beneath the October 31st MAR... therefore making it appear that the last action in this MAR process was the return of the October 31st MAR to Mangum. Ergo, no activity was being taken on her case, and had I not gone to the court to investigate, it would still remain without activity. I was then told that a "clerical error" was responsible for the misstep and that Mangum's chart would be sent to the ninth floor for judge assignment and initiation of the MAR process later that day or on Monday. This transaction took place at 10:00 a.m.

So, Mangum's MAR is no further along than when it was filed last Halloween, more than four months ago.

As far as a clerical error... I don't buy it. Do you, Dr. Caligari? (Keep in mind that this is the same clerk's office that recommended filing the MAR with the federal court.); March 7, 2020 at 2:22 AM

Hey, Anony.

I have actually already stopped making sharlogs (interactive mini-documentaries that aren't videos and can't be placed on YouTube). I will continue to make shar-videos, however, and put Flash versions (which I believe may be a bit better defined both visually and audibly) on the blog site until the end of 2020 when such Flash versions will no longer be compatible with browsers.

I still anticipate my actions will soon result in Mangum's release and eventual exoneration. After all, truth and justice is on her side. The problem is that Mangum is practically single-handedly fighting against the State, courts, and media. Is it your contention that Crystal Mangum would be better off if no attempt was made to procure justice for her?; March 7, 2020 at 2:32 AM

They recommended filing it in federal court because you mistakenly wrote the name of the federal court on the top of the document. Stop blaming other people for your mistakes.

You filed the MAR four months ago, and just now checked on its status? While you were instead posting sharlogs about the failed malicious prosecution case?

For the love of all that is good in the world, either find a lawyer for Mangum or at least read a law book so you know what you're doing.; March 8, 2020 at 8:40 AM

Anonymous said...: In general a defendant should expect their lawyer to:
Give them advice about their legal situation
Keep them informed about their case
Tell them what he or she thinks will happen in your case
Allow them to make the important decisions regarding their case
Keep in communication with them
Inform them of any changes, delays or setbacks
Give them the information they need to make good decisions
Prepare them for their case, including deposition and trial preparation.

If Crystal had asked about any investigation, and they did not perform one, they were ethically bound to let her know.
If they performed an investigation, but came to the decision that the results were not helpful to the case, and Crystal did NOT ask about an investigation, I don't think there's a solid reason to inform her.
Given the way confidential information pertaining to the case ended up posted on this website, If an investigation was performed and nothing came of it, it was probably in Crystal's best interest that knowledge of a failed investigation was not specifically made known to her.; March 9, 2020 at 1:09 PM

March 7, 2020 at 1:19 PM

Hey, Anony.

The thought never occurred to me that Rae Evans, mother of Duke Lacrosse defendant Dave Evans, might be have anything to do with the delay in the processing of Mangum's MAR.

To me, Ms. Evans and the rest of the Carpetbagger Jihadists were more focused on avenging former Durham D.A. Mike Nifong than in seeking retribution additionally against Crystal Mangum. I may be wrong, but I definitely have no evidence to believe otherwise.

I believe the obstacles placed before Mangum in her legal fights emanate from within the State... the Governor's/Attorney General's/Durham District Attorney's Offices, the courts, and the Powers-That-Be. All of these nefarious actions enabled by a biased media both locally and nationally.

Is there reason why you would consider that Rae Evans had a hand in Mangum's MAR?; March 10, 2020 at 6:15 AM

March 7, 2020 at 1:22 PM

Hey, Doogie.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I believe the MAR, based upon Dr. Wecht's report, has an outstanding chance of being successful. The chances would be overwhelming if the media reported about it accurately and objectively. The way I see it, the filing of the MAR is the best and most direct option available to her at this time.

The reason the clerk's office buried the December 9, 2019 MAR under the October 31, 2019 MAR, it stands to reason, was to keep it from being passed onward in the process which would force a judge to eventually make a ruling on it... a favorable ruling for Mangum being something that no judge (lacking impartiality and integrity) would want to do. Ergo, the entire court system, including the clerk's office, is involved in depriving Mangum of her due process rights regarding the MAR... in my opinion.

Also, is there avenue of activity that you believe would be beneficial in obtaining justice for Crystal? If so, let me know. Thanks.; March 10, 2020 at 6:25 AM

March 7, 2020 at 1:53 PM

Hey, Anony... ye of little faith.

You're a bit presumptive, I feel, in averring that Crystal Mangum will serve at least her minimum fourteen-year sentence. After all, the court has not yet ruled on her latest MAR. If truth and justice come into play, she will be released shortly... well ahead of her full minimum sentence.; March 10, 2020 at 6:32 AM

Hey, Doogie.

I want this site to be as inclusive as possible, and although some comments may be a bit crude or abusive, as long as they are not extremely malicious and profane I will permit them. Furthermore, I am assuming that Doogie Howser is not your true name, so like Anony, your true identity is still concealed... unlike with me, or a few others like Nana D. who now uses her real last name. If abusive comments were directed towards your true identity, then I would be much more sympathetic.

One thing I don't want to do is stifle commentary participation. That's why I'm hesitant to delete comments and/or ban commenters.; March 10, 2020 at 6:46 AM

March 8, 2020 at 8:40 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

Actually, I do accept responsibility for mistakenly typing the federal court instead of the state court in the heading of Mangum's October 31st MAR brief. The problem is that the clerk's office knew, or should have known, that the subject of the document was a MAR, the federal court heading was a mistake, and the document was properly filed in the Durham County Superior Court's Criminal Division. Instead of notifying the sender of the mistake and returning it or accepting the document with the mistake and proceeding to process it, the clerk's office returned the document and recommended that it be filed in federal court... purposefully misleading advice leading to a dead-end.

You are correct in that I should have been more attentive to the status of the MAR after it was returned to Crystal for nothing more than an inadvertently mistaken federal court on the heading. After the corrected heading MAR was filed on December 9, 2019, I felt confident that the motion would be correctly and competently processed. Up to that time I had felt that the clerk's office, generally, just followed protocol without any nefarious agenda. I was wrong, so you can believe that from now on I will follow documents I file with the clerk's office more closely.

As far as lawyers go, Mangum's had plenty and they all sold her out in order to protect Duke University Hospital, State witnesses who committed perjury, allowed statutes of limitations to expire, and failed to act in her best interest. Besides, all of the attorneys that Crystal and I have contacted to date have refused to accept her case... including the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission, NAACP, ACLU, and other innocence projects.

I will try to read on the law as much as possible, but I believe that the shar-videos are extremely important... especially since the mainstream and independent/nonprofit/minority media refuse to publish the truths about Mangum's innocence.; March 10, 2020 at 7:11 AM

Anonymous said...: Kenhyderal -- I'll refer you to Walt's comments from 2014:

"The only turncoat in this saga is none other than Sid. He violated the confidence that Crystal placed in him when she gave him confidential information. He then told the world, and more importantly, he told the state that the defense expert agreed with the ME that the proximate cause of death was a stab wound. Everything else about the ME's report and the IME is irrelevant."

I'll take his word over either yours or a so-called "lay advocate", who's only experience with the law is a large number of failed lawsuits.; March 10, 2020 at 12:48 PM
kenhyderal said...: @ Anonymous 12:48: Disgraced ME Dr. Nicholls and the faint hearted tenuous support he got from Dr. Roberts have been thoroughly discredited by the distinguished Dr. Wecht, an expert with worldwide standing and credibility.

Sidney,
Is Cyril Wecht planning to testify in court in NC?; March 10, 2020 at 5:15 PM
Anonymous said...: You know, all Crystal has to do is file a bar complaint if she feels she wasn't adequately represented. Interestingly, if she files against her trial attorney, it's a waiver of attorney/client privilege as they can defend themselves. Isn't it interesting for everything you and Sid claim, and everything Crystal tells you, that's the one thing she refuses to do, so they can't speak out and defend themselves.

Sid did have a letter from Meier up here at one point where he said he would look at speaking to Sid if she gave a waiver, and also pointing out that Sid is simply wrong about the plea offer that Sid continues to allege was made, instead spelling out the plea offer that was actually offered. Once commentators started pointing out that Sid was being contradicted, in writing, and if the lawyer was lying they had a good Bar Complaint, Sid pulled the letter down and we heard nothing else.

Kenny, are you really this stupid and dense or is it all an act?; March 11, 2020 at 10:28 AM
