So the answer is NO. Neither you nor Crystal contracted the prison director (I think that’s the correct title, not “warden”). Nor did you contact the company managing the prison phone system....Nor did you attempt to identify the resources responsible for “monitoring and recording” the phone calls. Consider us elucidated.

What prison is Mangum in now? The one she was in at the time of the phone call is now an all male prison, correct?

Oh, you know NC prisons don’t allow conjugal visits, right? I’m sure Mangum does....

As Anonymous at 5-25-20 4:45 noted process and protocol are supreme and these are used at will to deny Justice and achieve desired outcome. In this case, keeping innocent Crystal Mangum incarcerated.

Crystal Mangum has steadfastly maintained that she told the truth about being sexually assaulted at the Duke Lacrosse Spring Break bash in 2006.

....Which version? The one where she was sexually assaulted by 3 men? 5 men? 20 men?

Or this one?

https://www.cosmopolitan.com/health-fitness/advice/a6254/price-of-silence-crystal-mangum/

FWIW, I don't think this last version was even in her book, and as the article states, none of the records of the medical exams verify this version.

The rape charges were dropped when DA Nifong decided he had insufficient evidence to meet the burden of proof for rape by these three individuals but he did proceed with charges of sexual assault and kidnapping. The theft of Crystal's money was an open and shut case but unfortunately he decided not to proceed with that

Hey, Anony.

Your guess is what I would consider to be a relatively safe one. Animus towards Crystal Mangum is not only state-wide, but nationally. Also, the media has worked to suppress the truths of Mangum's innocence from the people which works for her continued mistreatment by the courts. Hopefully, Duke University, Roy Cooper, and Tar Heelian politics won't play as big a role in Mangum's federal court case. Obviously Mangum should have won the malicious prosecution case at the state level... as the merits of the case favored her and were not challenged by the defendant. We'll see what happens. Praying that justice will prevail.; May 29, 2020 at 5:50 PM

Hey, Anony.

Actually I do listen to advice given to me regarding legal strategy, even though I may not employ the suggestions offered.

What I find extremely puzzling (or as Columbo would say, "a loose end") is why the defense would even bother charging the larceny of chose in action? Makes no sense. The prosecutor didn't build a case for larceny. There was no probable cause provided by the State.

Can you provide me with a logical reason for prosecutors adding that charge to the murder charge/indictment? The only logical reason I can see is as a collateral purpose to upgrade the murder to first-degree. Give me a logical reason and I might change my mind about that... but I doubt it.; May 29, 2020 at 5:58 PM

Hey, Anony.

The phone call took place in April 2018, at which time Crystal was being held in Troy Correctional Institution. She has since been moved to Neuse C.I. in Goldsboro, and is now at Anson C.I. in Polkton.

I do not feel pouring my energy into the monitored and recorded phone call will pay much in the way of dividends because Mr. Walker is not a strong witness, and is an apparent unwilling one. Besides, the report by Dr. Wecht is a much stronger lead on which to focus... so that's were I'm concentrating my efforts. That doesn't mean I will forget about the phone call Mangum had with Milton Walker because I won't. What it means is that I won't pursue it on the front burner. The strongest information going for Crystal is Dr. Wecht's report and the 18-page document that Judge Ridgeway has sealed and is keeping from Crystal Mangum. That would likely really damage Dr. Nichols' credibility.

What do you think about that?; May 29, 2020 at 6:16 PM
Anonymous said...: What do I think?

Dr. Wecht’s report is not going to get Mangum a retrial. It’s not.

The only way I see a retrial happening is IF you prove there was an error in her original trial. Proving that Milton Walker was coerced to perjure himself during that trial is what you should be focusing on.

That you won’t even attempt to locate Walker and speak to him about this tells us all we need to know about you and your “efforts” to free Mangum.

The only thing I see in your future is a contempt of court charge, a hefty fine, and possibly jail time.; May 30, 2020 at 6:33 AM

Hey, Anony.

I appreciate your advice, but it seems geared for failure. Clearly Dr. Wecht's report is the strongest ammunition in my ordnance... by far. Milton Walker's recantation is especially weak. Besides, I would not want Mr. Walker forced into a perjury charge. The justice system would readily turn a blind eye to the perjury of Dr. Nichols and Officer Marianne Bond, but not as likely regarding Milton Walker or Aykia Hanes.; June 4, 2020 at 2:10 AM

What is the difference between this claim and the previous 2018 claim?

May 31, 2020 at 5:46 PM

Hey, Anony.

The core issue between this civil malicious prosecution case filed in federal court and the 2018 case filed in state court is basically the same... that the four elements required for the claim had been met with regards to the Larceny of Chose in Action charge/indictment. That Mangum's claim is meritorious is not challenged by the defendants because their defenses are based on technicalities such as untimeliness of filing, improper service, etc.

The present claim adds issues related to Ms. Mangum's deprivation of protection of her due process rights. Specifically the August 15, 2018 trial court's prevention of her presenting her case using her work product... in other words, being forced to present her case from memory alone. This is unheard of. Also the problem with the NC Court of Appeals' failure to address any of the ten issues on appeal in its Opinion. This is, I believe, unheard of, as well.

Ergo, the claim in federal court is not only about malicious prosecution but about her basic civil rights being denied by the State court due to the fact that she's African American.

Hope this answers your question. Let me know if further edification is required.; June 4, 2020 at 2:28 AM

Hey, Anony.

Regarding the statute of limitations, it has always been Ms. Mangum's contention that her post-conviction legal counsel has been working to her disadvantage. Regarding the malicious prosecution specifically, her counsel willfully allowed the filing deadline to expire. Neither Ann Petersen nor the NC Prisoner Legal Services mentioned to Mangum or took action on the malicious prosecution case, and then abandoned her as a client several months after the filing deadline had expired. It is for this reason that Ms. Mangum believes that the statute of limitations should toll at the date of the NC PLS letter which severed legal ties dated January 17, 2017.

I'm not an attorney, but I do realize that it is a long shot for an action in a civil court to result in relief in a criminal court. However, the criminal court's misconduct is so egregious that I believe it was worth a try. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.; June 4, 2020 at 3:51 AM

June 3, 2020 at 7:16 AM

Hey, Anony.

Again, I am no attorney, but my understanding is that you are correct about Mangum being enjoined from filing any lawsuits against the defendants in the case on this particular matter. I believe she is entitled to file other lawsuits against other defendants or to file lawsuits against these defendants as long as they are about different issues.

The gatekeeper order against me was extremely broad and it prevented me from filing any papers in the Middle District Federal Court in Greensboro regardless of the parties involved. In other words, a felon, a homeless person, any person off the street would be able to file a complaint on Mangum's behalf... but not me. For me to file anything would require getting permission from the court and paying an amount of approximately $600.00.

Now the gatekeeper ruling by Superior Court Judge Carolyn Thompson prevented Mangum from filing in that court specifically. The gatekeeper (or pre-filing injunction) is not applicable to Mangum filing a claim in U.S. District court, which is what she did on May 11, 2020.

The gatekeeper order by Judge Thompson was really baseless, and not even in response to the defendant's argument in seeking it.; June 4, 2020 at 4:05 AM

kenhyderal said...: Here we go again, as is usual, process is being used to deny justice. Proving Walker lied will be problematic (was he lying in Court = perjury) or was he lying to Crystal (hoping to restore their friendship). Walker is unlikely to admit to perjury when all he need say is he lied to Crystal. Erik Hooks was informed of Walker's statement to Crystal, on the recorded Prison phone, that he was coerced by Police to lie and Hooks did nothing. What does this tell you? This alone should have reopened Crystal's case. But this is only a peripheral issue relating to whether Crystal is prone to threaten with knives. Relating to knives, no investigation or evidence was ever presented by Meier showing Daye was a known knife throwing enthusiast. The real issue is, as Dr.Harr has been pronouncing from day one, there was no murder. I doubt if Dr. Nicholls or Dr. Roberts could or would be able to refute Dr. Wecht's report. At all costs, though, using whatever obfuscation you can find, prevent Dr. Wecht's report from being allowed to get justice for Crystal.; June 5, 2020 at 9:59 AM

So -- The Governor CAN act - after Crystal Mangum is released from state supervision. You're looking at what? 2032?

Sid is going about this the wrong way. The Wecht report is NOT "new evidence" -- it's a different interpretation of existing evidence. by itself, it's not going to get Crystal a new trial. Winning a civil malicious prosecution case is not going to result in a new criminal trial.

I tend to differ with your assertion the civil case will have no advantage on her criminal case.

Were it anyone other than Crystal Mangum (with the possible exceptions of O.J. Simpson and Mike Nifong), a MAR would be readily granted on that basis alone, I believe.

Your theory doesn't hold water as Crystal did not have a fair trial and the jury was certainly not impartial. How could the jury be impartial when a fourth of them have ties to Duke University Hospital? Also, the prosecution was based on a purposefully flawed autopsy report.

Hey, Anony.

It's not my policy or practice to refuse posting a comment that passes the kenhyderal Doctrine of civility. I am not sure of which comment you refer.

What I suggest is that you use a handle, sobriquet, or nickname of some sort when submitting a comment... anything other than Anonymous. You don't have to reveal your identity if you don't want, but having a name makes it easier to coordinate what comments come from what sources, and to find which comments to which you refer. Also, if a comment with a name is received, regardless of how silly the content or intent to discredit the seriousness of the site, there is every likelihood that it will be posted.

I receive and publish comments mostly on my cellphone and respond to them on my laptop. Usually I publish comments as soon as they are received, but it is possible for me to inadvertently overlook a comment or believe that a comment viewed initially has already been sent.

I would recommend that you re-submit the comment if you have it, otherwise let me know the exact date and time it was sent and I will try to retrieve and publish it.; June 8, 2020 at 8:00 AM

Marina Lemmons said...: kenhyderal asks: Does anyone else want to speculate, meaningfully, as to why those charged with administering justice refuse to act?

Perhaps you have not convinced them that Crystal is innocent.

Neither you nor Dr. Harr has ever effectively addressed the relevance of Welch—the primary legal issue in this case. You and Dr. Harr have merely stated that you do not believe it is applicable. Dr. Harr has completely ignored the issue in his legal filings, even when opposing counsel raises Welch and similar precedent in their filings. You both consistently have refused to conduct any legal research to confirm your legal conclusion.

While Dr. Wecht is a world renowned expert whose opinion has value, I remind you that his report is just that—an opinion. It does not prove that Crystal is innocent of murder. I do not know whether there are limitations on an attempt to overturn a conviction because of a new medical opinion. A commenter suggested that Dr. Harr find precedent to support his attempt, but he (and you) refused to conduct that research.

I agree that IF Welch is NOT applicable, Dr. Harr has demonstrated that Crystal is not guilty of murder or manslaughter—but only IF it is NOT applicable. However, you both have refused to make any attempt to support your legal conclusion. Instead you simply assert that everyone else (i.e., those who accept the relevance of Welch) is conspiring against Crystal. Crystal is not well served by advocates who substitute conspiracy theories for meaningful research.

Perhaps that is why you have failed to convince those charged with administering justice that Crystal is innocent.

kenhyderal said...: @ Marina Lemmons" Dr. Wecht concluded " It was aspiration "that began" the chain of events that led to death. That was a sufficient intervening cause that broke the chain of events associated with the stab wound; What was the cause of death? Accident." . In Judge Ridgeway's statement to the Jury he told them that the the State must prove that the stab wound was the sole proximate cause of death. It appears that the Jury did not get this. As Dr. Harr has pointed out none of the intervening causes were presented to them For Welch to be applicable the stab wound would of had to be the proximate cause. For Welch to be in effect, disgraced, Dr.Nichol's flippant words would of had to have been correct. "She stabbed him he died"; June 8, 2020 at 2:06 PM
Anonymous said...: Kenhyderal -- You didn't answer Marina's (nice name choice BTW) question.

Dr. Wecht's opinion does not prove innocence.

Dr. Roberts and Dr Nichols both had expert opinions that the stab wound was the proximate cause of death. Thanks to Sidney, the prosecution knew that Dr. Roberts held this opinion.

You would disregard their opinions in favor of Dr. Wecht's simply because his opinion matches your own.

How is Welch inapplicable?; June 8, 2020 at 3:17 PM
kenhyderal said...: @ Anonymous 6-8-20 Can you repeat Marina's actual QUESTION ?? My response to her post and to your follow up is to compare the Medical and LEGAL C.V. of Dr. Wecht to that of Nichols and Roberts. Yes, his expert opinion does not prove Crystal's innocence but it does introduce abundant doubt that, were a Jury to see this report, would lead them to a verdict of not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. With the poor defense Crystal received the other issue, self-defense, given the battered down bathroom door and the ripped out hair, should also have raised reasonable doubt she was not an aggressor but was acting in self-defense. Reasonable doubt accrues to the accused, in America, except, it seems, when the accused is a poor, marginalized minority woman.

Anonymous said...: kenhyderal claimed: In Judge Ridgeway's statement to the Jury he told them that the the State must prove that the stab wound was the sole proximate cause of death.

This statement is false.

Judge Ridgeway's instructions related to proximate cause begin at approximately 48:10 in the video linked below.

Judge Ridgeway specifically stated that the State need NOT prove that the stab wound was the sole proximate cause of death. Judge Ridgeway stated that the only way that wrongdoer would be excused from death resulting from negligent treatment or neglect is if the negligent treatment or neglect was the sole cause of death.

You have the instructions backward. Crystal is not well served by advocates who misstate important facts.

kenhyderal said...: Marina You're playing a semantics game. My question to you is what did his instructions mean. The sole cause of death, as gleaned from all the Medical Records was his removal from life support, due to irreversible brain death, due to cerebral anoxia, due to errant esophageal intubation. This was the "if". There was nothing in his medical records that referred to any complication of the treated stab wound. There was no record of a post-operative infection. There was no treatment for a post-operative infection. There was a detailed prognosis for a complete recovery. Any Welch precedent ended there. That's where accident became the real cause of death. It seems you are being rather foolhardy to challenge Dr. Wecht, given his credentials. You seem to be an intelligent poster and I believe you do agree that Daye's death was not a murder as the uninformed and misled Jury found.

You're playing a semantics game.

I listened to Judge Ridgeway's jury instructions several times to ensure I heard the instructions correctly. Your statement was directly contradicted by his instructions. That is not semantics. You lose credibility when you make ridiculous statements like this. Falsus in uno. Falsus in omnibus.

There was a detailed prognosis for a complete recovery. Any Welch precedent ended there.

Complications can set in after a prognosis for a complete recovery is provided. You lose credibility when you make ridiculous statements like this. Falsus in uno. Falsus in omnibus.

I believe you do agree Dye's death was not a murder...

I thought manslaughter was the correct charge, but Crystal's testimony must have convinced jurors to convict on a more serious charge. You have failed to convince me that Welch is not applicable. I do not find your opinion persuasive. Those who have cited Welch have been far more persuasive because they have cited additional cases to support their interpretation. You have provided no support for your opinion.

You were correct when you noted to the anonymous poster that I had not asked you a question in my initial post. I will ask one now: Why do you refuse to use your prodigious internet search skills to identify legal precedent that could serve to bolster Crystal's case? I have identified two legal issues that must be addressed to have any chance for success. Instead of doing something productive, you prefer to waste your time arguing with random commenters on an obscure blog site. Why?

kenhyderal said...: That was not how I heard/interpreted Judge Ridgeway's instruction. One person though who does agree with me and with Dr. Harr is the eminent Lawyer and Forensic Pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht. I take it that you disagree with this expert, choosing instead to go with a Welch precedent, a case with no factual similarities and bend it beyond reason to cover this case. This kind of legal slight of hand tends to confuse Juries. In this unique case why try and find unrelated cases and misapply them? Make a judgement based on fact and on common sense.

Hey, Marina.

I believe Dr. Wecht and kenhyderal answered your questions regarding Welch, but I would add that in my non-lawyerly opinion that Welch is far more restricted than people want to use in Mangum's case. The Welch case death resulted from a serious stab wound that required a transfusion. Welch had nothing to be with the stabbing victim being brought to the hospital for treatment. Also, in Welch there was no malpractice by the hospital staff whereas that is precisely what happened in Mangum's case.; June 13, 2020 at 7:44 AM

June 24, 2020 at 6:41 AM

Hey, Anony.

I've been quite busy recently, so I don't know if I previously mentioned that Crystal asked me to file, on her behalf, a malicious prosecution complaint with the Federal Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in Greensboro.

I believe the Notice of Right to Consent had to do with allowing a magistrate judge to arbitrate rather than taking the case to court for a jury trial. Mangum asked me to deny that offer because she would prefer a jury trial.

Currently we are awaiting a reply from the defendants. I don't have PacerMonitor so I don't know the real-time status of her case.; June 24, 2020 at 8:06 AM

Hey, Anony.

Boy, was I out of it!! The malicious prosecution complaint filed with the federal court was the same one on which the comments were posted. My mind was working on other projects when I responded. But in answer to your question, the Notice was related to the present case filed in the federal court.

Thank you for the info on PacerMonitor. Have used it in the past... with some difficulty on my part when tracking Mangum's Habeas Petition. May try to use it again.; June 25, 2020 at 5:28 AM

Cooper and AG Stein, who have been provided with this information need, for the sake of Justice, to act upon.; June 25, 2020 at 4:46 PM
Lance(no longer)TheIntern said...: Kenhyderal -- Is it a game changer? I don't consider criminal convictions "games", so no.

Does it impact Crystal Mangum's conviction? It could, if it were pursued in the correct manner.

Can Governor Cooper or AG Stein legally act upon this information? No.

In North Carolina, only an appellate court can overturn a conviction. If evidence exists that proves someone was wrongfully convicted, that proof should be presented through a qualified lawyer to the appropriate appellate court for review and consideration.

Since she doesn't have a lawyer, Crystal Mangum can contact the North Carolina Bar Lawyer Referral Service or the Center for Actual Innocence.

Dr. Harr will claim he has tried these venues and been denied -- but that is because he continually attempts to roll his (numerous) cases and the Duke LAX case into this one. It's a poor (I'm bing polite here) strategy and doomed to failure.

He has also continued to pursue a CIVIL case after having been told numerous times that in the extremely unlikely event that Ms Mangum wins, it will have no impact on her CRIMINAL conviction.

The bottom line is that no one bothers to take Dr. Harr seriously (why should they? He's done nothing but file one frivoulous lawsuit after another, to the point of gatekeeper orders being placed upon him ). If he were truly concerned about Ms. Mangum's conviction, he would turn over the relevent documentation to a competent lawyer and remove himself from the legal process.; June 26, 2020 at 8:43 AM
kenhyderal said...: Lance, you didn't answer my question. Do you believe Crystal is guilty of murder? I get it. Unless one has the resources to hire a Lawyer or can convince Lawyers who are involved in innocent projects; regardless of your innocence, something everybody who knows the facts of this case realizes, you can just stay incarcerated. Justice be damned. Too many have bought into the narrative that Crystal is an evil person of no consequences and Dr. Harr, someone who really cares for Crystal, is a pariah to the American Legal System. A system generally held in contempt by civilized people.; June 26, 2020 at 10:31 AM

Do you believe had they heard all the evidence they would render the same verdict? You are trained in Law , don't tell me you still believe that the Jury got it right. When poor indigent defendants are incorrectly convicted and those with the power to correct this injustice, who know the truth, say right or wrong the Jury's decision stands and Justice be damned, then there is something fundamentally wrong. Everyone from newly minted Lawyers like you all the way up to the Governor now know Crystal is innocent and have unethically chosen to do nothing, hoping that the inability of Crystal and her supporters to finance and navigate the roadblocks and purposely torturous minutiae in order to get her conviction overturned will hep them save face.

Meanwhile their clients go on to fame and fortune not to mention, thanks to greedy civil suits, massive monetary awards; June 29, 2020 at 8:17 PM
guiowen said...: Kenhyderal,
Let's go over the facts of the case.
1.When Crystal stabbed Reginald Daye, she was arrested and charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon.
2.Some time later,Reginald died while in the Hospital.
The jury then had to decide two questions:
1. Was Crystal acting in self-defense?
2. Was there any intervening cause?

The jury felt the answer to both of these questions was NO, and so Crystal was convicted of murder.
Some five years later, Sidney got Cyril Wecht, admittedly a brilliant man, to look at the case. Wecht said the answer to the second question is YES.

This is, of course, only an opinion. Since two other experts have given a different opinion, you and Sidney must arrange to have the question (2) brought up once again in a court of law. Until then,the previous jury verdict is in force.

Assuming you actually do the work,and Wecht's opinion is accepted,Crystal would no longer be considered guilty of murder. Note however that Wecht's opinion in no way deals with question (1) above.Thus Crystal would still be guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.
Still, I believe the penalty or this assault should be 98 months or less, so Crystal could then be set free.

So, do the work,and you might have a nice outcome.; June 29, 2020 at 11:51 PM

Hey, Anony.

Haven't been doing too much on comments recently because I am extremely busy getting ready to file.

As far as Crystal's civil case in Federal Court on malicious prosecution, she's received an extension from the Attorney General's Office representing the Durham D.A.'s Office, and has received nothing from Bond's attorney so far. But I expect their arguments to be as last time... on technicalities instead of merit... basically that the Statute of Limitations expired. Will post whatever response Crystal receives.; July 8, 2020 at 5:39 PM
Marina Lemmons said...: But I expect their arguments to be as last time... on technicalities instead of merit... basically that the Statute of Limitations expired.

This stage of the proceedings is focused exclusively on "technical" arguments. Defendants are required to treat the facts alleged by the plaintiff as true at this stage. Alleged facts are only to be contested after the court determines there is a technical basis for the case and allows it to proceed.

Anyone who states otherwise is ignorant and/or dishonest.; July 9, 2020 at 5:46 AM

Anonymous said...: In Kenhyderal's defense, there is no "statute of limitations" in Canadian law.

They do, however, have a "limitation period" - A period of time within which a person must bring a claim (for civil claims only -- Malicious Prosecution being a civil claim in Canada).
They are essentially the same thing -- IIRC, the limitation period in Canada for Malicious Prosecution is 2 years.

Kenhyderal could, if he so desired, speak to a Canadian lawyer to determine whether the limitation period is considered a "seemingly incoherent and irrational" technicality.

The first case that was filed (January 2017) was dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.

The Second claim (filed in May 2018, and apparently never mentioned on this website) was (in YOUR words) "essentially the same lawsuit against the same defendants..." was barred by res judicata.

You then filed an appeal, and the Court of Appeals affirmed the previous court's decision on June 4, 2019.

Following the COA decision, in July 2019 you filed a petition for discretionary review, which was denied earlier this year.

Am I missing anything?
