No new information on either Sid's WRAL case or Mangum's Malicious Prosecution complaint against Officer Bond since mid-November.

I think it's safe to say there'll be no movement (unless they are dismissed) before the new year.

Hey, Anony.

As you know, the wheels of justice can move excruciatingly slow... as they are in Crystal's and my cases.

Dr. Harr,

Why are you ignoring my offer? I can deliver a court order with the release before Christmas.

December 4, 2020 at 3:51 PM


Hey, Attorney S. Powell.

Contact me in writing.

There are no Court hearings scheduled, there is zero chance Crystal will be released by Christmas. Why do you continue to lie and pretend things can happen that can't? Unless Cooper commutes her sentence, she will not be released without a Court hearing, which has to be scheduled in advance so the other side can respond.

No court hearings set = no release before Christmas.

Hey, Anony.

You may be correct. Court hearings may not be the only way by which to affect a release. Regardless, will continue working for Crystal's release as soon as possible.

What a searing indictment of the North Carolina Justice System when so many of those, in positions of authority, who know the truth, fail to act. What makes it even worse, is it's not just indifference but it's deliberate. Is it motivated by fear. by hate or by guilt. Failure to accept that the system, your system, is dead wrong and your failure to make it right is both cowardly and evil. Don't make Crystal suffer to avoid your shame. Show human decency and do the right thing.

The only other legal way to get her release would be Roy Cooper and a commutation, and that's not happening. So, unless you are planning on breaking her out of prison, you need to stop lying to her and everyone else and pretending that a release is imminent when there isn't a single legal filing currently pending that can lead to her release, let alone one with an upcoming hearing.

One more note -- the email listed on Blogger is justice4nifong@gmail.com. The parenthesis I added was a typo in my comment, not a typo in the email I attempted to send.

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

As of December 15, 2020, Google stopped delivering e-mail to my cellphone. I don't understand the reason why, and am not willing to allow Google to read, delete, and have total control of my e-mails. I am still able to receive e-mail on my laptop, which is of greater inconvenience, but that is how I will proceed. So it might take much longer for me to publish comments. It was far more convenient publishing comments once they were received on my cellphone.

As you were.

Hey, Lance.

Don't know what's going on with my e-mail. My e-mail address hasn't changed and I still receive e-mail at that e-mail address on my laptop. Please try to re-submit e-mail at justice4nifong@gmail.com. If you have trouble, let me know and I will give you another e-mail address by which to contact me.

Hey, kenhyderal.

You are absolutely correct. The state, courts, media and others conspired to convict Crystal... including her defense attorneys. Hours ago, Governor Roy Cooper gave a pardon of innocence to Ronnie Long. It's about time. However, what makes Mangum's case even more egregious is that she is a victim of a no-crime wrongful conviction. At least, that is, she did not commit a crime. The state and its witnesses committed perjury, suborned perjury, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice.

Hey, Anony.

Only hours ago, Governor Cooper issued Pardons of Innocence to five individuals, including Ronnie Long. I wrote him and told him that he should have included Crystal Mangum as she was convicted for a crime that was not committed. Not only is that my opinion, but the opinion of Dr. Cyril H. Wecht.

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Women & Crime podcast -- Episode 30: Interview wit...":

The court denied the most recent motion in Mangum v. Bond on December 11.

My guess is that Sid doesn't think this is important enough to warrant a post. This seems to be a recurrent theme as, unlike in the past, Sid has stopped posting any of the filings (from any cases) to this blog.


Hey, Anony.

I appreciate you letting me know of the ruling by the Fourth Circuit. You submitted your comment before Crystal even received a letter from the court.

I didn't post your comment because Google had stopped allowing me to receive e-mail on my cellphone... and your comment was posted just before I uploaded my current shar-video.

My work on shar-videos is extremely time consuming along with the numerous letters I send. So posting the legal rulings is a low priority as that will not help affect Crystal's release.

Kenhyderal,
Is there any way we can get you to stop whining? I'm trying to cover your back, and thanks to that,most people here would even be willing to forgive your racism, but your whining makes it difficult for them to do so. I don't expect you to thank me for all I do for you, but at least try to make it possible for me to do so. NO MORE WHINING!

No Abe, I'm a Democratic Socialist, substantially the left of AOC and Bernie Sanders. I'm for single payer universal health care. I'm for sensible gun laws including banning assault weapons for private citizens. I'm for immigration reform, including accepting more refugees. I'm for criminal justice reform, including equal justice for all. I'm for democracy including one man one vote. I'm against undemocratic legislatures like elected Senates. I'm pro-choice. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone in your country further away from Trump then me. You remind me of Guiowen, who calls me a racist simply because I believe African-Americans have been and are unfairly treated in America.

Dr. Harr.

For the record, here's the error I received when I attempted to email you:

Address not found
Your message wasn't delivered to justice4nifong@gmail.com because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I don't think this is necessarily an issue with your phone...You may check to see if these emails are getting routed to the gmail SPAM folder, although I would think if that were the case, it would happen on both your phone and your computer.

I would also note that you've asked Attorney S. Powell to contact you in writing -- It appears that is currently not possible.

Attorney S. Powell said...



I am done wasting time with these clowns. I’m outta here.

kenhyderal said...

You know Attorney Powell, it's because of clowns, that scoff at Crystal's predicament, that those who love and care about her are sceptical that you were making a genuine offer and who can blame us. There have been so may cruel,evil trolls who like to make sport of the suffering of others especially a marginalized person like Crystal. I hope you don't fit into that category and if you weren't I'm sure you do see a grave injustice and as an ethical Lawyer with principles would like to see justice done; so I hope you'll persist. If you were just another clown you've had your sport and bye-bye.

Dr. Caligari said...

Dr. Harr,

Whoever is posting as "S. Powell" is just trolling you. Google "Sidney Powell" and you will see what I mean.

Happy Holidays,

Anonymous said...

Dr. Caligari -- Sidney Powell IS from the Durham/Raleigh, she's founded a non-profit organization for victims of domestic violence, and was kicked off the Trump Legal team on November 22....

The comments from December 19 here are kinda similar to the comments Attorney Powell made regarding Trump Advisors (according to the NYT) on December 18....

And both Sidney Powell AND Sidney Harr have a thing for conspiracy theories...


Maybe "S, Powell" isn't a troll?

Hey, Lance.

Am having lots of problems with my cellphone. My daughter says the model is extremely outdated, so I will purchase a new cellphone next year. Not having e-mail on the cellphone creates a much longer lag time in publishing comments.

Yes, there is reason to doubt the authenticity of the S. Powell comments.

Thanks for the Holiday wishes. Hope you have a great holiday, as well.

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

Just got off the phone with my fiancee. I never thought that she would be spending this Christmas behind bars... more than a year after Dr. Cyril Wecht's October 2019 report. Cruel Governor Cooper continues to ignore me... along with Dr. Mandy Cohen.

But, at least this year did finally get some media coverage with the Women & Crime podcast. It's a start. "Sometimes a tiny pebble can start a major landslide." - a Harrism.

Anyway, I hope all viewers, commenters, and visitors to this blog site and their families have a wonderful Christmas, Holiday Season, and a Safe Year in 2021.

kenhyderal said...

It might "stir the pot up" a bit if you were to contact Barrister Sidney Powell and inform her that you suspect someone is impersonating her on your blog and offering to get Crystal's conviction overturned. She is likely to be no friend of Gov. Cooper and she does have a history in the domestic violence area

To the poster @ 7:25:

And let’s not forget that they both spell their name “Sidney,” which certainly is not a coincidence.

Anonymous said...

I had nothing better to do, so I was looking at old posts from around the timeframe of Crystal's trial and came across this intersting comment:

Lance The Intern said...
Why those (like Sid and KenHyderal) should be concerned about the recent 4th Circuit opinion regarding the falsely accused lacrosse players and their federal civil rights claim:

With this decision, The 4th circuit has now officially stated that it's possible to frame innocent people without incurring federal civil rights violations, provided that:
1) The police are candid in discussions with the prosecutor that no evidence exists against the innocent people (even if, at the same time, at least one police officer misleads the grand jury)
2) The police can claim the prosecutor made the decision to indict.

Basically, if the prosecutor has obtained a grand jury indictment (such as was done with Crystal Mangum), there is no way that the accused could at a later date successfully file a civil rights claim within the 4th Circuit. Regardless of their guilt or innocence.

But hey, as long as you're "gratified", I'm good. I'm gratified you understand the repercussions of this decision.


Interesting to note that Kenhyderal's response to this was:
"....to hold a City, it's Agents and it's Citizens liable for such an indictment, on charges that were later dropped, claiming this violated their civil rights, that is a stretch."

Yet here we are, with Mangum filing a civil rights claiming, in part that "at least one police officer [misled] the grand jury".

Hat tip to Lance -- he predicted this would fail 8 years ago.

...Due to a decision that both Sid and Kenhyderal lauded at the time.

@ Anonymous 12:29 PM 12/31/20 I'm interested to follow up on that Duke Lacrosse Players ruling. Can you post the date of the posts you reviewed?

Anonymous said...

Kenny,

With your googling skills, you should have no trouble finding the posts.

kenhyderal said...

@ Anonymous 4:50 AM 1-3-21 Are you the poster? Can you see what a disadvantage all the pathetic scared keyboard posters create for a "stand up and be counted" person trying to hold a honest discussion with them. It's problematic when you don't know who you are talking to.

Anonymous said...

Kenny, you've never tried to have an honest discussion in your life. You spout your opinions as facts, and if anyone disagrees, or shows you are wrong, you claim it's all a vast corrupt conspiracy.

Anonymous said...

Kenhyderal -- I made the December 31, 2020 at 12:28 PM comment.

In hindsight, I wish I had grabbed the date of Lance The Intern's post -- because now I can't find it. From what I recall, the comment was somewhere between the time of the 4th circuit opinion (Dec 2012) and Crystal Mangum's conviction (approximately 1 year later).

I've gone back several times to find the date, but can no longer find the comment. I know Sid says he doesn't remove comments, but I can't find it -- I've searched posts from Nov 2012 through Feb 2014 with no luck.

Obviously it WAS there -- all of the italicized text (including your response) were copied from the comments with no edits.

As a side note -- Lance appears to have a strong dislike for Shan Carter that comes through in his comments in this timeframe.

Anonymous said...

Kenhyderal -- It looks like Sid isn't approving comments, so you may never see this...But I responded to your question from January 1, 2021 at 7:05 PM.

Your inability to see that response (and apparently, your inability to find the original discussion those quotes were taken from) are due to Sid's activity with the blog site, not mine.

Ever since my cellphone stopped receiving and sending e-mails weeks ago, I have had problems with getting comments from the blog site. If your comments are not posted, it is because I have not received them, so try and re-submit. I am planning to get a new cellphone later this month and hopefully that will resolve the problem.

Keep in mind that tomorrow I will post Crystal's civil lawsuit.

As you were.

Who did she frivolously sue this time, and are you going to make sure it's served right, or are you going to continue to ignore the rules of civil procedure and whine when you don't get special treatment?

Hey, Anony.

First, answer me this: Would you describe Reginald Daye's demise (dying after being electively removed from life-support ten days after successful surgery of his stab wound) a stabbing death? If so, why?

Anonymous said...

So, what you are telling us is that you are filing a frivolous defamation lawsuit years and years after the statute of limitations, and you are probably once again going to serve it improperly, and whine that you don't get special treatment.

Anonymous said...

At this point, I have no idea who Crystal Mangum could possibly file a civil lawsuit against...I think the statute of limitations has pretty much run out on any party involved in her criminal trial.
