Justice Dies in Darkness: Part One

kenhyderal said...: Once again, freedom-fighter Dr, Harr shows up the utter perversity of America that always fails to do what is right until they have no other choice. Most often years behind more civilized nations. Justice and Immigration reform, talked about for decades. Mass shootings routine without any will to have sensible gun laws. For profit health care that always puts profit ahead of public health. Failing Schools, failing infrastructure; lack of democracy; voter suppression. The injustice to Crystal Mangum is just one more American disgrace. American exceptionalism; exceptionally bad.; June 3, 2021 at 9:21 AM

There was no doubt cases of pedophilia that occurred in these boarding schools. Those taken from their homes and placed in these institutions are now being compensated for $80,000. The cause of death in over half is known to be disease and includes Spanish Influenza and Tuberculosis that was incurable until the 1940's and which was rampant in their communities; as was chronic alcoholism which led to child apprehension. The children did not attend schools and were institutionalized instead of being adopted out. That was the wrongful solution. Adoptions began in the 1960's and these also are being compensated. It's referred to as the 60'Scoop, apprehending children at risk and placing them in adoption. Unlike America Canada learns what was wrong and makes timely changes.; June 5, 2021 at 4:56 PM

Hey, Anony.

Unlike the former president, I am not obsessed with ratings. My main objective is to enlighten the public about the truths of Mangum's murder trial and other legal cases, and allow this site to be a forum for thoughtful dialogue about issues.

Fact is that YouTube has reached out to me, without solicitation, by e-mails to offer suggestions on how to increase viewership. I have not even opened the e-mails because my main focus is on liberating and exonerating Crystal Mangum. Increasing viewership or comments is not even on my radar at the moment.

Nonetheless, I appreciate your concern and that you have taken time to opine.

Part Two of the current shar-video is close to completion and should be uploaded soon.; June 24, 2021 at 7:58 AM

Why bother creating these shar-videos if no one is viewing them, and Mangum's story is not getting any additional exposure from them?

Seems like you're just creating them for your own enjoyment -- maybe to tell Crystal you're doing something (although I'm sure she wouldn't be too happyu with your "Increasing viewership...is not even on my radar" comment).; June 24, 2021 at 11:27 AM
kenhyderal said...: @ Anonymous 6-23-21 2:41 PM. Having, yourself, visited the Shar-Video We can count you as someone who knows the truth about the injustice done "The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”

Anonymous said...: I do know the truth. Crystal Mangum was found guilty of 2nd degree murder by a jury of her peers and is projected to be released from prison on February 27, 2026.

Nothing Sid has said or done has convinced me otherwise.

Other than your occasional post here on this site, Kenny, I see or hear nothing from you.

One would think that *someone* like yourself who so strongly believes in Mangum's innocence would be more vocal about it. At least Sid makes his videos -- although he never tries to increase viewership for them.

Your silence is deafening.; June 25, 2021 at 9:31 AM
kenhyderal said...: Yes she was but you know the verdict was wrong. You have the benefit, like I have, of all the facts which the Jury did not have i.e. that there was no murder and the cause of death was an accident due to medical mismanagement, arising to the level of medical malpractice by Duke University Hospital. This was the expert opinion of the world renown Forensic Pathologist and Medico-legal Scholar and Author Dr. Cyril Wecht who, like me but apparently unlike you, strongly believes Crystal Mangun is innocent of Murder. Due to an appalling legal defence and a strong desire by deceitful politicians, who also know the truth but fear political consequences by admitting this and finally doing what is right want to keep Crystal locked-up and hope this will be forgotten. So the miscarriage of justice continues. Can you honestly argue with this. Are you a victim of the propaganda that the American Justice System is intact and provides equal justice to all.; June 26, 2021 at 5:00 PM

Hey, Anony.

Your points are well taken. I wish my shar-videos had larger viewership, but I don't think that even a large following would do much to help Crystal receive justice.

Viewership is not the only or main reason for producing shar-videos... There are several reasons other than viewership that I make shar-videos... among them: (1) to document in time issues of truth related to injustices against Crystal Mangum; (2) to apply to DVD disks and send them to specific individuals; and (3) for future consumption for its educational value.

Keep in mind that I send out many letters, often containing copies of documents and sometimes DVDs.; June 29, 2021 at 5:25 PM

Hey, Anony.

If you've visited this site, you know about the October 25, 2019 report by world-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Cyril H. Wecht. Surely his opinions should convince you of Mangum's innocence in Daye's death.

I disagree with you on the effectiveness of kenhyderal's comments. I have presented and quoted them in a multitude of letters and other documents as representing the opinions of intelligent and objective individuals regarding the unjust treatment of Mangum.; June 29, 2021 at 5:37 PM

June 29, 2021 at 10:30 AM

Hey, gui, mon ami.

Bottom line is that there is no attorney who wants Mangum to be freed and exonerated. Therefore, any lawyer who takes Mangum's case will do so to soak up money in fees while representing her against her best interests... trying to keep Duke University Hospital's responsibility for Daye's death hidden. If any of Mangum's attorneys worked with Crystal's best interests a priority, then she would likely have never been convicted... especially in light of the fact that no crime was committed with Daye's death.

The state, courts, attorneys, and media are all aware of Crystal Mangum's innocence, but they don't want the general public to be aware of it.

Make no mistake that Dr. Wecht's report was extremely forceful and stated without equivocation that the manner of Daye's death was an accident... and ergo the crime of murder/manslaughter was not committed.

Let me put it another way, qui. Do you believe it would have made a difference in verdict outcome if O.J. Simpson would have been represented by other attorneys in his Las Vegas armed-robbery case? Same thing in Mangum's case.; June 29, 2021 at 5:54 PM

June 29, 2021 at 2:16 PM

Hey, Anony.

The only thing Dr. Wecht did was act as an independent analyst of the autopsy report on Reginald Daye conducted by Dr. Clay Nichols. Dr. Wecht gave no advice, legal or non-legal. He even refused my requests to advocate for Mangum's innocence... all because he did not want his integrity as an independent evaluator questioned.; June 29, 2021 at 6:00 PM

It doesn't matter if it convinces me. It matters if it convinces a judge, or the Governor. Anything else is just "vanity and grasping for the wind." (Eccles. 1:14).; July 2, 2021 at 9:52 AM

Hey, Dr. Caligari.

A report by a worldwide renowned forensic pathologist such as Dr. Cyril Wecht should convince any reasonable person... especially in a case wherein an autopsy report contrary to Dr. Wecht's opinion was written by a medical examiner who was fired and under consideration for criminal charges for his handling of work in other cases.

Governor Roy Cooper, NC Attorney General Josh Stein, Durham District Attorney Satana Deberry all know the truths of Crystal Mangum's innocence, they just don't want to be confronted by them... especially in light of Dr. Wecht's report.

Dr. Caligari, would you believe Dr. Clay Nichols' autopsy report to be more accurate and objective than Dr. Wecht's?; July 2, 2021 at 6:17 PM

July 2, 2021 at 11:24 AM

Hey, gui, mon ami.

Dr. Cyril Wecht is a legal analyst who, as a professional forensic pathologist, often gives his professional opinion on forensic cases/issues. He is not an activist or advocate. To maintain his appearance as an unbiased and objective analyst, he does not advocate. The difference is this: If a news moderator asks him about Crystal Mangum's murder case, then he will answer it in depth. Especially since his is extremely familiar with the case after having reviewed it for me. On November 25, 2019, CBS-17 News anchor Bill Young conducted a twenty-minute Skype interview with Dr. Wecht about Mangum's case wherein he discussed her case in depth. Dr. Wecht told me that he hoped the interview would be shown in its entirety. The interview was never shown, was never uploaded on the CBS-17 News website... and may have been destroyed. Neither Dr. Wecht nor I can force CBS-17 News to broadcast the interview with Dr. Wecht.

Hope that you have been elucidated. Let me know if further elucidation is required.; July 2, 2021 at 6:32 PM
Dr. Caligari said...: Dr. Caligari, would you believe Dr. Clay Nichols' autopsy report to be more accurate and objective than Dr. Wecht's?

I guess you missed the part where I explained that it doesn't matter what I believe. Get someone with the power to free Mangum to believe it, or else you're just performing (for an increasingly small audience).; July 3, 2021 at 9:23 AM
guiowen said...: So, Cyril Wecht is one of those who, knowing about an injustice, does nothing about it?; July 3, 2021 at 10:44 AM
kenhyderal said...: @ Guiowen; No, Dr. Wecht, unlike you and your ilk, with his great expertise, has done something important by completely refuting the canard that Crystal Mangum murdered Reginald Daye. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Don't expect him to then become an advocate for setting her free and compromising his reputation for providing unbiased, independent,authoritative,opinion. I speculate, though, he is shaking his head in disbelief about the lack of corrective action by Gov.Cooper and AG Klein. At some point the public will want to know why they knew the facts but chose, for reasons we can only speculate on, want to, desperately, keep Crystal in prison.; July 4, 2021 at 7:54 PM
kenhyderal said...: @ Dr. Caligari. OK since you know the truth why don't you become part of the chorus demanding Crystal's release. "When truth is replaced by silence, the silence is a lie" --Yevtushenko.; July 4, 2021 at 8:05 PM
guiowen said...: Kenny,
As usual, yo misunderstand things because of context. So Wecht knows about injustice,but won't do anything about it because he might be hurt if he does so?So he talks to Bill Young but won't talk to anyone else?; July 5, 2021 at 6:40 AM
kenhyderal said...: @ Guiowen Young interviewed him. He spoke to the world with his report. He will give his opinion as stated in that report to anyone. What he can't do is become an advocate for either a prosecution or a defence, except by providing his expert opinion. He cant be seen as a gun for hire. He gives his opinion backed up by his widely accepted expertise. If he found it was a homicide he would have reported that. He however found it to be an accident ie. no murder. Ergo Crystal was wrongly convicted of a crime that did not occur. The question now is what should be done to correct this injustice. At this point the ball is in the court of AG Klein and Gov. Cooper. It's becoming increasingly clear that Cooper, in order to preserve his reputation, immorally, wants to keep Crystal where she is. The truth will come out and Cooper will pay the political consequences and the People of NC will pay a huge compensation for the inhumanity done to Crystal.; July 6, 2021 at 8:12 AM

kenhyderal said...: @ Anonymous 8:29 7--7-21 A very poor analogy (Laws and Opinions) Opinions change when new facts are incorporated Experts such as Dr. Wecht take all the available facts into consideration, before rendering an expert opinion. If you can provide him with additional facts that cause him to change his opinion I'm sure he will. Dr. Nichols left all the crucial relevant facts out and chose instead an opinion that did not implicate Duke.; July 8, 2021 at 10:15 AM
kenhyderal said...: @ Guiowen 7--7-21 11:23. Dr. Wecht, in Crystal's case has done all he needs to do. He has given is expert opinion. He has done so in many cases and to now become an advocate for either a prosecution or a defendant would not be appropriate. His role is to help a Court reach the truth and make the right decision.; July 8, 2021 at 10:24 AM

Hey, gui, mon ami.

Dr. Wecht has no problem with giving an interview with the media... That is not advocating. The problem is that the media, unhappy with his conclusions, decided to bury the story and thereby prevent the general public from hearing his opinions.; July 9, 2021 at 3:02 AM

Hey, Anony.

Dr. Wecht's exonerative conclusions on Crystal Mangum's murder case are his opinions... something that is not challenged. However, considering his reputation as arguably the foremost forensic pathologist in the world, his opinions carry substantially more weight than anyone else on the subject... including Dr. Nichols.; July 9, 2021 at 3:06 AM

July 8, 2021 at 1:46 PM

Hey, gui, mon ami.

Au contrare... Dr. Wecht has done something to help rectify the injustice to Mangum. To begin with, he accepted the case for review. I doubt that I could have found a forensic pathologist in North Carolina with the integrity and courage to review the autopsy on Reginald Daye that had findings that put Duke University Hospital in negative light... and I believe that was what Roy Cooper and others had been relying.

Dr. Wecht also gave a Skype interview lasting twenty minutes with CBS-17 News in which he detailed his report. He cannot force the media network to broadcast or upload the interview.

Your indignation should be directed at the media bigwigs who suppressed the report by Dr. Wecht because they realized it would help Mangum gain her freedom and exoneration.; July 9, 2021 at 3:15 AM

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I have just completed Part Two of "Justice Dies in Darkness." I will probably upload it to the blog site later today or Saturday at the latest.

Will visit with Crystal this morning and discuss surprise strategy with her.

Have a great day.

As you were.; July 9, 2021 at 3:18 AM
kenhyderal said...: @ Guiowen 1:46 PM 7-8-21 : I reiterate, Dr. Wecht, in the face of a grave injustice, has not refused to act but has done what he is capable of and what he needs to do, by applying all his experience and expertise to setting the record straight. Thanks to him, we all know the incontestable truth; especially those with complete power to correct this miscarriage of justice. They are the ones we need to ask, " what kind of people are they". We also know for certain Dr. Harr, who told us long ago there was no murder, was right all along. Any who recognize Dr. Wecht's expertise need to also acknowledge Dr. Harr's foresight and acuity. What kind of people refuse "to eat crow" and humbly do so.; July 9, 2021 at 8:37 AM

kenhyderal said...: @ Guiowen: Dr. Wecht could be an excellent witness, in a new trial, should the State decide to retry her. He could be brought in as an expert witness for her defense. More than likely, though, after her exoneration they will not chose that route but instead agree to a compensation award for her wrongful conviction.; July 10, 2021 at 2:23 PM
