This was the same guy, when he was AG and under immense political pressure, declared the Duke Lacrosse Players innocent and dropped the sexual assault charges laid by DA Nifong against Evans, Seligmann and Finnerty.
Well, since the DNA evidence and security-camera footage proved their innocence, what should he have done?
Dr. Wecht has a J.D.fro the University of Maryland. I don’t think he’s ever been a practicing lawyer, however, nor do I find any record of him passing the bar exam in any state.
I’m pretty sure Kenhyderal agreed at one time that the 3 accused Duke LAX weren’t the rapists. He spent quite some time arguing that “Kilgo” had information about the actual perpetrators.
Was Kenhyderal under immense political pressure at that time?
@ Anonymous 12-11-21 6:16 AM You are dead wrong. Dr. Weicht has a Law Degree and is a Law Professor http://www.cyrilwecht.com/about.php It's foolish for you to suggest Dr. Wecht does not understand NC Law or Precendent. Dr.Wecht has declared Daye's death to be accidental and Crystal has been wrongly convicted of homicide. Self-defence; even the Duke Lacrosse Apologist hero "Walt from Durham" once conceeded that the angle of the penetration supported Crystal's version. The self-serving statement given by Daye was never cross-examined by Meier. Pit-bull Prosecutor, Coggins-Franks, looking for career advancement by gaoling the infamous Crystal Mangum, badgered her about positioning in time and space during this horrendous assault and when she became confused labeled her a liar without rebuttal from Meier. She had months to construct her prosecution while Meier was not allowed any time to prepare.
@ Dr. C The lack of DNA of the three does not prove their innocence of the charge of sexual assault. I'll remind you that all the Duke Lacrosse Players were tested except the one Black Player, even including those out of State at the time, but this "drunken bash" which included even more non-Players then Players and the only ones of those, tested and identified, were ones seen in photographs. Crystal gave a complete account of all her sexual activity and DNA found presumably from a rape was never identified. The Police never complied a definitive list of attendees and Lawyered up Players refused to answer questions.
In 2014, Kenhyderal stated: "Finnerty and Seligmann were mistakenly and inadvertently identified, by Crystal, in a faulty, flawed photo line-up as persons at the party who had sexually assaulted her”
Was Kenhyderal under immense political pressure then, or is he under immense political pressure now?
Anonymous said Was Kenhyderal under immense political pressure at that time?... I am not susceptible to political pressure because I have never run and never would for Political Office. The only time I run is when I am being chased by The Proud Boys
I stand by my 2014 statement regarding Finnerty. I have later come to have misgivings about Seligmann's alibi which, to many including DA Nifong, seemed contrived. Kilgo was known here as someone always highly accusatory of Evans, Which, I guess, is probably tied to what his Player friend told him about him and his non-Player friends in attendance.
There’s nothing “contrived” about a time stamped ATM receipt, taxi driver testimony, and record of his security card swiped to gain entry to his dorm during the time the “rape” supposedly occurred.
What’s “contrived” is changing the timeline of your “rape” narrative.
Why is changing the timeline “contrived”? How about cell phone records showing Mangum was talking on her phone during her rape, and stayed at the party an hour AFTER the “rape” occurred.
Dr. Harr - Are you going to comment on Oxygen Media’s latest response?
How are you going to account for the lawsuit stating the the plaintiff pro se mailed the letters (exhibits B and C), when they were sent on J4N letterhead and were signed by you and had the J4N P.O. Box as the return address?
D.E.M. said: "What’s “contrived” is changing the timeline of your “rape” narrative"----- There was nobody with stop-watches recording events. Seligmann, for some reason asked to be picked up on a street corner down the street from the scene of the crime.

In the United States at least (and I'd bet the rule is the same in Canada), an expert witness cannot testify to a legal opinion. I learned this lesson a long time ago, when I was representing a company indicted for tax evasion because of some transactions they engaged in to reduce their tax bill. We called an expert witness, a partner at one of the largest accounting firms in the U.S., who was going to testify that the way the company acted was completely authorized by the tax laws. The trial judge threw our witness off the stand, saying, "I tell the jury what the law is. The jury convicted and the court of appeals affirmed.
Guiowen said: "Kenhyderal,Please give it up. No one here believes anything you say" ----- No one believed Dr. Harr when he said the cause of death was errant esophageal intubation. Now everyone, even you, have had to concede he was right all along. The current theory is that a Welch precedent takes effect. But that was carefully shot down by Dr. Wecht and I doubt if that theory will survive any longer either. How about it Dr. C or some of you other Lawyers who post here, is Dr. Wecht wrong?
@ Dr.C. : Thanks for that clarification. Although the Jury never heard evidence about the accidental cause of Daye's death and were told it was as a consequence of the stab wound. My interpretation of his Jury instructions, although far from definitively clear, said the knife wound had to be the proximate cause.
But there were timestamped photographs and Crystal Mangum's own cell phone records that blew up her attempt to get around Read Seligmann's alibi by changing the time of the rape.
Dr. Harr - Since 10/18, the following motions or responses have been filed in Mangum v. Oxygen Media, LLC et al:
10/18 - Motion to Dismiss filed by Oxygen Media 11/08 - Response in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss filed by Crystal Mangum 11/08 - Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Crystal Mangum 11/19 - Response to Motion to Dismiss filed by Oxygen Media 11/24 - Motion for Hearing regarding the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Crystal Mangum 11/29 - Response in Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Oxygen Media 12/02 - Reponse in Opposition to Motion for Hearing filed by Oxygen Media (this is the motion that includes the permanent injunction from the NC state bar as an attachment).
Is there ANY way you can make at least some of these documents available? I'm sure you (or Crystal Mangum) would have copies of both motions and responses filed by Crystal Mangum. I imagine you would have the motions from Oxygen Media that a response was created for.
If you're too busy, I can provide you an email address, and you can send them to me. In turn, I will set up a google drive that can warehouse these documents and provide you with a link so that you can update and add documents.

December 14, 2021 at 6:16 PM
Hey, Anony.
I'm so busy in my army of one fight for justice that I haven't had time to engage in comments recently, but your comment commands attention.
First, Mr. Ruggs is responsible for the car accident victim's death. That said, the comparison between Ruggs and Mangum is an apples to avocado one. The singular main difference between the two is that the accident in Ruggs case was caused by Ruggs, whereas the accident in Mangum's case was caused by a third party -- Duke University Hospital staff. Mangum had nothing to do with the errant esophageal intubation. Had the intubation been properly inserted to begin with, I believe, Daye would have been discharged home and recovered fully.
Consider yourself elucidated. If further edification is required let me know.
I have just finished writing a three parter (with the exception of the epilogue), and will begin narrating it tomorrow. It will be one of the most, if not most, important shar-video I have produced.

Dr. Harr -- I've offered to assist with getting these various filings with the Mangum court cases available to the people who visit this blog.
You consider yourself "an army of one", and I've offered to alleviate some of the pressure placed upon you from your guests here on the blog. You can continue to consider yourself an "army of one", or you can accept my offer.
Dear Kenhyderal: Any assistance I provide will be between Dr. Harr and I. The service I’ve offered is something anyone who reads this blog could do in a matter of minutes. Overall, it is rather insignificant when compared to all the time Dr. Harr has devoted to this cause.
Frankly, I find it surprising that “those who care for Crystal” haven’t volunteered to assist. Google drive works the same, regardless of what country you happen to live in.

Please be patient as I am an army of one. I have to work on the state's appeal, tend to the federal case against Oxygen, need to work on my important shar-video... all in addition to communicating (albeit mainly one-sided) with those in power about Crystal's case... not to mention shopping and gift-wrapping for Christmas, and entertaining Adonis, my attention-craving Siamese cat.
I barely have time to respond to comments.
What I will do is present your offer to my tech-savvy daughter this afternoon and see what she says. (Downloading apps is a major challenge to me.) If not too complicated, I will likely have time after Christmas to do it. Fact is that I am anxious for the public to view the documents.

Hey, Doogie.
If you are at all familiar with my shar-videos, then you are aware that my productions are the envy of Hollywood-types. Literally I am a movie production company of one. The project on which I am working is one of the most important that I've done and is a three-parter. With the exception of the Epilogue, it has been completely scripted and narrated. I need to get the soundtracks edited and applied, then affix images and text to the documentary. The final step would be post-production issues related to uploading to my domain/blog site and YouTube, and disk production. So it's a lot of work. It will take a Herculean effort to meet my proposed mid-January 2022 deadline.
By "downloading apps", I assume you mean for your phone. Based on my experience, the process of storing and linking to documents is better performed from your computer.

Hey, Ishmael.
Don't believe your procedure would decrease time and energy to present the documents online. Right now my priority is the shar-video... which will be the basis for future secret projects.
I hope that everyone has a fantastic Christmas, and that your stockings are filled with delicious edibles rather than lumps of coal. Please stay safe by masking and social distancing when required... and, of course, getting your vaccinations and boosters.
As a bonus, I am going to reveal one of my secret projects, which so far has been a bust. It is called: OPERATION DURHAM MAYOR.
On or about December 7, 2021, Elaine (Bushfan) O'Neal was sworn in as the mayor of Durham, succeeding Mayor Steve Schewel, who, like his predecessor Bill Bell, did absolutely nothing to help Crystal Mangum. At least, Bell gave me about fifteen minutes of his time before rejecting me.
Elaine O'Neal is quite an accomplished and respected individual... an African American who has served as a Durham District Court judge. Not only that, but she went to the same Durham church as Crystal Mangum and they knew each other... long before the Duke Lacrosse incident in 2006.
I read about her campaign for mayor in a newspaper article in early August 2021, and on August 11, 2021 I sent her a three page letter asking basically for nothing more than a letter to Dr. Mandy Cohen, the Secretary of NC DHHS, requesting that she order the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to review the April 14, 2011 autopsy report by Dr. Clay Nichols on Reginald Daye. Didn't think that was asking too much. LINK to letter
Unexpectedly she responded with a phone call, and I was thrilled. We spoke for more than ten minutes estimated, and I briefly reinforced information in the letter. I felt confident that being a church-going individual with a legal background (as a judge she understood the absolute innocence in the case), and a friend of Ms. Mangum, she would comply with my menial request for a letter to Dr. Cohen.
My contact with her in August 2021 made me confident that Ms. Nangum might be released before Christmas. Having not hearing from her, I wrote her a two-page hand-delivered letter on November 17, 2021 to congratulate her on her overwhelming victory to win the mayoral seat. Subtly I tried to implore her to act with some urgency with a letter to Dr. Cohen in order for Mangum to avoid spending an eleventh consecutive Christmas behind bars. About a week later, I received a letter later acknowledging receipt of the letter. That would be my last communication with her.
With desperation in December, I took the bus to the Durham City Hall and left letters... stating my willingness to meet with the mayor's assistant Amber Wade. No reply was forthcoming from Ms. Wade or the Mayor.
The only person in City Hall to whom my concerns were directed was the Durham City Attorney, Kimberly Rehberg... who defended Durham Officer Marianne Bond against an accusation of grand jury perjury in Mangum's Malicious Prosecution lawsuit. Hah! That would be a certain waste of time.
Thus far, OPERATION DURHAM MAYOR seems to have imploded.
After enjoying the holiday with family and friends, I would like to know what comments you have about this turn of events.
Again, enjoy the day and rest of the holiday season.
Would not purposely not post your comments. It may take a while for me to find that a comment's been sent. There's also no way for me to confirm by cellphone that a comment I published has actually been posted. The only way to tell is when I check on my laptop.
The only news is that I'm working on a new shar-video and implementing OPERATION DURHAM MAYOR.
Sidney, I've given you my advice. Let me repeat. So long as your acolyte shows how much he hates the United States, and you let people know how much you appreciate him, people will be quite wary of you. Clearly the mayor feels just as I warned you she would. Remember, then: Kenhyderal's actions will keep Crystal in jail so long as you let him rule the roost.

Hey, gui, mon ami.
I do not believe Mayor O'Neal or others unfamiliar with my blog site are aware of kenhyderal's contributions... so I do not believe that it is a factor in her avoiding me and refusing to help her so-called friend. She can't avoid me forever.
What I do feel is that kenhyderal's comments reinforce my claims of injustice against Ms. Mangum and are definitely a positive rather than a negative. It is also my contention that it is possible to hate a country's racist justice system without hating its people and decent aspects.

Right now, there is much I need to do on Mangum's State appeal and the Federal civil complaint... not to mention the shar-video and continued persuasion of the Durham mayor.

Yes, the Secretary of NC DHHS reports to the governor, but it also oversees the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and as per protocol and precedence, it can take the initiative to order the NC OCME to conduct a review of an autopsy report... as it did in the Dottie Amtey case.

Okay, how does this involve the mayor of Durham? How does the mayor order the NC DHHS to do anything, when that organization reports to the Governor, not the mayor?
They mayor has no legal authority to do anything. Not sure what you hope to accomplish by reaching her, but she has no ability to do anything to help you or Crystal. She could ask for an investigation, but the point you continue to ignore is that there is no dispute in what happened:
Crystal stabbed Daye Daye went to Duke Duke screwed up and Day died.
Welch applies, no matter how much you and Kenny cry. The reason you are getting nowhere is people understand the law and proximate cause. You claim your allegations and arguments are profound and new, and they simply aren't. You are repeating what is already well known. You need to start arguing the law is unjust, not that Crystal is innocent, because she's not - she stabbed Daye, and a jury found it was not self-defense.
@ Anonymous 12:12 What the Jury didn't hear is your #3. What the facts, uncovered by Dr. Harr in the Medical Records and confirmed by Expert Dr. Wecht, was the knife wound was not the proximate cause. Given this, no Jury would have convicted Crystal of Murder. And besides had she received even a modicum of Defence, to any reasonable person it was a clear case of self-defence Remember, large, drunken jealous, enraged Day kicking down the bathroom door and dragging her out by the hair where she sought safety from his deadly knife hurling attack.
@ Guiowen Yes, I criticize the U.S.A. As a foreign National I know that no Nation is perfect but what drives others crazy is the sheer arrogance of those Americans who constantly make claims of American exceptionalism; where, by any reasonable assessment, they are exceptionally bad and failing in so many crucial areas. Democracy the chief amongst them but including Justice, Equality, Education Opportunity, Healthcare, Safety etc. Thankfully African Americans provide a moral conscience and they always lead the struggle for needed reform. It's unfortunate it has always taken America years to finally "do the right thing" If ever I thought I was hurting Crystal's cause I would keep my mouth shut.

December 26, 2021 at 12:12 PM
Hey, Anony.
I disagree that the Mayor of Durham has no legal authority regarding Crystal Mangum. Crystal Mangum was born in Durham, and lived all of her life (with the exception of a couple of years in the U.S. Navy and the past decade in prisons across the state) in the Bull City. The Department of Corrections considers Mangum a Durham resident. As such, she is a constituent of the Mayor of Durham.
As the Mayor of Durham, Mayor Elaine O'Neal has a duty to her constituent to do what she can to help her constituent Mangum, who is in addition a friend of Mangum and member of the same church years prior to the Duke Lacrosse incident. Morally, as a friend, Mayor O'Neal has a duty, though not legal, to do what she can to help her wrongly no-crime convicted friend.
I believe it is clear from my August 11, 2021 letter that my intent was to persuade the mayor to write a letter to the Secretary of NC DHHS to ultimately get a review of the autopsy report by Dr. Nichols.
Finally, I believe your interpretation of Welch is too simplistic and wrong. Why Welch is not applicable in Mangum's case is explained in Dr. Wecht's report.
That said, I very much appreciate you admitting that "Duke screwed up and Daye died." Acknowledging that truth is something the media refuses to do... and which has led to the recently filed civil lawsuits.
I would be honored to work with kenhyderal and contact Mayor O’Neal. We would be an army of three. How do I contact kenhyderal?

December 26, 2021 at 5:54 AM
Hey, Anony.
Mayor O'Neal has a First Amendment-guaranteed Right to send a letter to the NC DHHS Secretary... especially if it deals with her constituent. Mangum, who was born and lived most of her life in Durham and is considered a Durham resident by the NC Department of Corrections, is therefore Mayor O'Neal's constituent. Additionally, their acquaintance and friendship extends years before the 2006 Duke Lacrosse incident.
Although the NC DHHS Secretary may not be legally compelled to comply with the mayor's request for a review of the Dr. Nichols' autopsy report, surely there would be no harm in making an attempt. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If I had a friend who I knew was wrongly incarcerated, I would take immediate and substantial action. As a mayoral candidate, Ms. O'Neal was notified about Mangum's unjust vendetta driven plight in an August 11, 2021 letter. She has done nothing about this injustice... to my knowledge.
Are you considered a constituent in North Carolina in you're in prison? My understanding is that a constituent has to have ability to appoint another person to be a representative (in other words, a registered voter).
Just because you ignore the law on proximate cause doesn't mean everyone else does. Had Crystal not stabbed Daye, he would not have been in the hospital. Had he not been in the hospital, Duke's mistake couldn't have killed him. Therefore, the stabbing was a proximate cause of his death.
Had she not stabbed him, he would not have died that day in that way.
Not sufficient, according to Dr. Wecht. That would apply only if Daye was being treated for the stab wound that sent him into hospital. Separate from that was a series of actions and/or lack of actions by Duke totally unrelated to the stab wound administered by Crystal (in self defense I might add) For example Daye came to Hospital awake and alert with a stupefying blood alcohol level, indicative of chronic alcoholism where they failed to stave off certain acute alcohol withdrawal with adequate preventative treatment which resulted in him lapsing into, potentially life threatening, acute delirium tremens. Transferred to the critical care unit they then made the deadly medical error of errant esophageal intubation that went unrecognized in a timely manner. This resulted in cardiac arrest, cerebral anoxia and brain death. His final death came after elective removal from life support. All this chain of events leading to his death stand alone and are unrelated to Crystal. You've all heard my hypothetical; if a drunken Daye accosted me and I gave him a push causing him to fall and break his ankle then; followed by the same scenario, would I be guilty of murder? You all need to re-look at the law in this respect and tell us what it actually says.
kenhyderal is a fighter for justice. When constructing his subtle and groundbreaking arguments, he never allows himself to be constrained by mere legal technicalities or legal mumbo jumbo. kenhyderal knows in his heart what is the appropriate outcome and he is not afraid to apply Canadian precedents to arrive at a desired outcome.
"Lose control of the document"? In what way? You have the original documents in your possession -- if I were to alter the documents in any way, it's a simple matter for you to show they were altered.
Further, I would give you (or you daughter, for that matter) manager access to the drive so that you could edit or even remove files if you think they've been tampered with.
I would ask, however, that manager access would not be shared with anyone other than those we've mutually agreed on.
You've written the letters, the motions, and the responses (I assume on digital media). If so there's no need for additional preparation. I'll set up the drive, give you manager acess, and you can drop the files out yourself.
once they're on the drive, I'll share the links to them for your readers here in the comments.
If you feel uncomfortable posting the documents on the share yourself, email them to me (or your daughter) and she or I will drop the files out.
If your daughter has any concerns, let me know and I'll address them for her. If need be, I can share my email address with you and she can contact me directly with any questions.
I really am trying to assist you here, Dr. Harr.
It seems to me that you're making yourself an "army of one" when you don't have to be.
@ Guiown: Yeah, the lack of Democracy, the lack of single payer univeral cradle to grave health care, the broken Justice System, , the broken Immigration System, the failing Public Schools. the lack of gun control, the rampant gun violence, the "Prison Industrial Complex" "Citizens United", campaign finacing, Gerrymandering, voter suppression, politicized Supreme Court and unfortunately still too much latent vestiges of racism. The majority of Americans agree but they have no political power.
"You've all heard my hypothetical; if a drunken Daye accosted me and I gave him a push causing him to fall and break his ankle then; followed by the same scenario, would I be guilty of murder?"
All depends, if you pushed him so that he needed to have surgery on the ankle and all the complications surgery puts Daye in, then yes.
However, if it only required Daye to have a cast put on his ankle in the emergency room and not admitted to the hospital, then I doubt Daye would have died. Because he would not have gone into alcohol withdraw since he could have had alcohol when he returned home from the emergency room.
Dr. Wecht's example with the person with cancer and a car accident is similar in weakness.
@ Anonymous 12-29-21 1;36. In Dayes' case there were no documented complications to the repair procedure he underwent. Do you actually believe, in my hypthetical I could be found guilty of murder under a NC vs Welch precedent? Nothing in the Welch ruling even remotely applies to Crystal's case or my hypothetical case. I take it you have all read the case or at least Dr. Harr's clear analyisis of it in his 2013 post https://justice4nifong.blogspot.com/2013/05/state-v-welch-is-not-applicable-to.html. Please show us where you think Welch applies in Crystal's case and where you believe that her sending him to hospital could in any way be a cause of Daye's death she was resposible for.
Since you apparently refuse to let Ishmael help you get your documents posted, how about you cut and paste the contents of the last 2 letters you sent to the court in regards to Mangum v. Oxygen?
Thanks, Kenny -- That link you provided is the one where Sid also stated:
"There's not going to be a trial. The prosecution is going to try and force a plea deal, and if they are unable to do so, they'll drop the charges at the last minute.
The prosecution doesn't have a case!!"
So, yeah -- you can trust Sid's "clear analysis" on Welch as much as you can trust his "clear analysis" of the prosecution in Mangum's trial...Or pretty much his analysis on any trial, for that matter.

January 3, 2022 at 5:18 PM
Hey, Anony.
Dr. Wecht's report confirms that Welch does not apply.
As for my analysis, at the time I made the analysis, I was naively under the belief that the justice system and the courts were at their core honorable institutions that would uphold justice. Mangum's no-crime wrongful conviction smashed that ideal to pieces.
Apologies to you and other commenters and viewers for my absence in responding to comments. I find that kenhyderal has done a fantastic job in answering queries presented by Mangum detractors.
Scarcity of my comments is basically due to the enormous amount on my plate. Keep in mind that I am an army of one. There are two court cases I am helping Crystal manage, probably my most important shar-video I am in the process of working on, and numerous individuals I have yet to even think about contacting. Once I have passed several deadlines, I will spend more time addressing blog comments.

January 3, 2022 at 5:07 PM
Hey, Anony.
Clearly, there's no disrespect to Ishmael, but I simply lack the time to work with him on a project requiring me to download apps, etc.
Because of the importance of the two letters that I sent to the Clerk of the NC Eastern District Federal Court, I have taken the time to upload them to my domain and will present links to them below... both letters reflect my concerns about the possible attempt to deprive her of due process by omitting input by the Magistrate Judge. LINK to Letter to Clerk dated November 22, 2021 LINK to letter to Clerk dated December 16, 2021
Let me know what you think. Do you believe the Federal Court will follow standard procedure and refer Mangum's case first to a Magistrate Judge or will it bypass the Magistrate Judge and send her case directly to the District Court Judge and deprive Mangum of due process... as in her last encourter with the Federal Court's Middle District?
Although you have responded to many of the recent posts, you continue to ignore my question. Why are you unwilling to ask kenhyderal for his assistance in contacting Mayor O’Neal?
Dr. Harr: The local rules of each federal district court are posted on the court's website. You may want to check if there is a rule about which cases get assigned to a Magistrate Judge and which don't.
I honestly have no idea what the standard procedure is for Federal Courts in regards to civil cases.
Can you point to any documentation that defines this standard procedure and shows us how the court did not follow this procedure?
In the absence of any documentation, can you have someone (like Dr. Caligari or your good friend, James Coleman) outline this procedure so we can see how Mangum was denied due process in her last encounter with the court?
1) Both parties have to agree to let the case be handled by a magistrate judge
2) A magistrate judge handles cases that would otherwise be on the dockets of the district judge.
If my recollection is correct, I see 2 reasons for a case being handled by a district judge rather than a magistrate judge, neither of which can be construed as depriving someone of due process.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION!!
With regards to Federal Court procedure, in Mangum's malicious prosecution case in the Federal Court's Middle District, the Magistrate Judge initially was involved as he granted Mangum's Motion to Extend Time to File, however, her second Motion to Waive Word-count was denied by Middle District Judge Catherine Eagles (the same judge who maligned me by saying my lawsuits were vexatious and frivolous and fined me a thousand dollars). Black-rober Eagles then totally butted in by dismissing Mangum's case without the Magistrate Judge even filing a recommendation. She interjected herself into the proceeding when she had not been properly referred the case.
Needless to say, rules and fairness do not apply when it comes to Mangum in the justice system. I have no reason to believe that it is routine or customary to exclude involvement by the magistrate... I merely wrote to the clerk of court for reassurance that Mangum's case would first be evaluated by a magistrate, who would give a recommendation, allow for an Objection to be filed by the aggrieved party, and then a reply to the Objection before being referred to the U.S. District Judge.
I am a legal layperson and should not be expected to research in order to find out procedural questions. All I wanted to do is make sure that the magistrate judge would be involved in the process. This is surely something the clerk of court or one of his assistants could provide an answer.
I must get to work on other timely issues, so although I can post comments from my cellphone throughout the day, I am going to be busy on my other projects and will not be responding to comments for the next five or six days. Kenhyderal can probably respond to most questions... or Lance, Dr. Caligari, and others.
Also, remain interested in whether or not you believe that Mangum's case will have involvement by a magistrate judge.
“ I have no reason to believe that it is routine or customary to exclude involvement by the magistrate... I am a legal layperson and should not be expected to research in order to find out procedural questions…”
Hard to argue that the court isn’t following standard procedure when you don’t know what the standard procedure is.
But, your own ignorance hasn’t stopped you before, so why should it stop you now?
I don't have time right now to explain what Magistrate Judges are and what they can and cannot do, but suffice it to say that the involvement of a Magistrate Judge is not required by law and is certainly not a component of "due process." In fact, most lawyers will tell you that, by and large, you are better off if the District Judge decides an important motion than if s/he sends it to a Magistrate Judge for a "Report and Recommendation."
Nifong Supporter Supporter (1-5-22 @4;46 AM) said: "kenhyderal, Can you respond to my question?"--- I can't seem to see where you, recently, directed a question to me. Could you repeat it.
Good luck with that, Nifong Supporter Supporter… I offered my assistance to Dr. Harr in an attempt to make the various legal documents available to readers, and was told first told he was concerned about “losing control of the documents”.
When I explained that he and his daughter (and any mutually agreed upon resources) would have control of the documents, the response became “I simply lack the time to work with him on a project requiring me to download apps, etc.”.
Even though, as I explained, there was no application downloading. He could simply send the files to me OR his daughter, and we would post them to a google drive, and I would post the links to the readers.
Apparently, Dr. Harr wants to remain an “army of one”. I guess it feeds his persecution complex.
"...her second Motion to Waive Word-count was denied by Middle District Judge Catherine Eagles (the same judge who maligned me by saying my lawsuits were vexatious and frivolous and fined me a thousand dollars). "
More definitions (again, Cambridge Dictionary):
malign -
to say false and unpleasant things about someone, or to criticize someone unfairly.
Dr. Harr was informed in Harr v. North Carolina (1:13CV673) link provided) that he was subject to further sanctions under Rule 11, including dismissal, imposition of a pre-filing injunction and even more severe sanctions if he continued to file lawsuits against the Duke Defendants based on the same facts and claims asserted in Harr I and Harr II
Dr. Harr went on after this warning to file "Harr III", which was dismissed on the grounds of res judicata . It was this case that resulted in Dr. Harr being enjoined from filing any further papers in the Middle District of North Carolina without first obtaining leave of court, forces him to pay the filing fee plus $650 for any new filing, and resulted in a $1000 fine.
Dr. Harr was in no way "maligned". He was warned there would be actions taken if he continued filing of legal arguments that were "frivolous and lack[ed] evidentiary support" subject to Rule 11 sanctions.
He ignored that warning. Actions were taken. This is Dr. Harr's fault, not Judge Eagles'.
Anonymous Anonymous said... Isn't the Mangum V. Oxygen media case assigned to District Judge James C Dever, III?
January 10, 2022 at 2:05 PM
Hey, Anony.
Yes, it appears as though Judge Dever, with his Duke University Law School connections, has been assigned to the case. Below is an excerpt from his bio:
"He was repeatedly listed in the Best Lawyers in America and in Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite for Employment Law. Since 1997, Judge Dever has taught employment law and criminal procedure as an adjunct law professor at Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law. Since 2008, Judge Dever has co-taught a seminar on sentencing and punishment as a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University School of Law. Since 2009, he has taught criminal procedure as a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University School of Law. In 2014, Chief Justice John Roberts appointed Judge Dever to serve on the Advisory Committee on Criminal Rules, where Judge Dever served until 2021. Judge Dever also serves as a member of Duke Law School's Board of Visitors."
Do you believe the "Duke Lacrosse accuser" will get a fair hearing?
Yes, the "Duke Lacrosse accuser" will get a fair hearing. You will complain about the outcome, which will be very similar to the WRAL hearing results, but the hearing itself will be fair.
Harr Supporter said "Will you be answering Nifong Supporter Supporter’s questi............ The original question, asked of Dr. Harr, was asked before he left and this question directed to me is asked after his return. It looks to me like you are playing games.

Anonymous said... How close are you to releasing your next shar-video?
January 12, 2022 at 8:58 AM
Hey, Anony.
The Shar-video that I am currently working on is one of the most important I have ever produced. I am spending many hours daily working on it, but it is extremely lengthy... consisting of four parts.
With the exception of the epilogue, the entirety has been written, narrated, and placed on a soundtrack. What I am doing now is applying images and on-screen text.. extremely time-consuming. A realistic estimate of when the four-parter will be posted on my blog site is at the end of January... at the earliest.
It is outrageous that you accuse me of being a troll. I am neither Nifong Supporter Supporter nor kenhyderal supporter. I post at this blog because I am willing to assist Dr. Harr, which appears to be something you refuse to do.
Is this how you treat your friends? I have defended you on this blog more times than I can count. Who stood up for you when posters called you the little man?
I have no idea why you are acting this way. However, I am still proud to call my friend the Ken Edwards I knew in Bremerton.
Anonymous Supporter said "I’ll make a deal with- prove you are who you say you are, and I’ll do the same"....... What mechanism are you suggesting to confirm our identies. Our blog host Dr. Harr can confirm my identity and he has my permission to do so to you persuming, of course, he has your identity and he has your permission to reveal yours to me.
It is apparent that kenhyderal is resorting to ad hominem attacks when he accuses me and other posters of being trolls. Do you find his behavior to be acceptable? Is he abiding by the high standards that you uphold for your blog?
Your identity, "Ken Edwards" doesn't appear to be real. You username, "kenhyderal", is apparently a "social media influencer" on Twitter. Is that you?
Add your name and email address to your Blogger account and I'll email you. Otherwise, you're just another anonymous user afraid of Duke and "The powers that be" in North Carolina that you have to hide behind anonymity.
Oh I'm real alright. Dr. Harr and Crystal Mangum can attest to that e-mail me, if you like, via Dr. Harr and he will forward it to me. I'm interested in who you are only to the extent that I know who I'm interacting with. And the key to that is a registered username. Just un-click the box. It one way to prevent posters from typing in unregistered user-names like this supporter, that supporter etc. I'm just asking posters to get serious. This is a serious blog with a mission to right a serious injustice; not a place for mischief.
@ Nifong Supporter supporter. I guarantee you, no one on this blog has been subjected to more ad hominem attacks than me. Troll being the least of which but still hundreds of times. I also frequently get racist and nazi
Is your post at 8:47 intended to provide a justification for your behavior this week? Have Harr Supporter, kenhyderal supporter and I ever directed ad hominem attacks at you?
Nifong double supporter, You don't understand. If you ever deny anything Kenny says, you are in effect calling him a liar. This is an ad hominem attack.
Just saw this in today's comics: "I haven't lost a debate since I learned to treat everything as a personal insult." Sort of reminds me of someone here.

Hey, kenhyderal.
I checked the laptop, too, and I didn't find any comments from you sent on Friday January 14th. Don't know what happened. Would it be possible to re-submit? Sorry about that.
OK, Dr. Harr--- @ "Anonymous Supporter" Guiowen (the real one) is a registered poster as is the real Abe. I really don't care who you really are but the reason I wish posters like you would chose to post under their Google Blogger name and not choose anonymity is it would prevent someone posting under under multiple unregistered user-names, using a chosen handle as part of their post; It's something which seems to be happening here frequently. One never knows who they are interacting with. Ideally just don't click "post anonymously" What's to fear?
Kenny, I realize that you used to win your debates by accusing others of ad hominem attacks. But this is not your high school debate forum, and it is clear that you don't even know what an ad hominem attack is.
guiowan said "Kenny,It is not Nifong double supporter who keeps complaining about "ad hominem" attacks.... Nor is it I. Other tan my rply to Nifong Supporter, supporter of 13-1-22 8:47 PM when was the last time I complained about "ad hominem" attacks on me.
F.A.F. -- From what I can see, there's been no additional filings in the Mangum v. Oxygen Media case since Sid sent his letters asking to have the case reviewed by a Magistrate Judge, and the status of any involvement by a Magistrate Judge in the case.
To fill up the dead time, you should give us an update on the litigation. How many cases are pending?
Fake Abe Froman Chicago, IL
January 20, 2022 at 5:53 AM
Hey, Fake Abe.
At the present time there are only two active civil lawsuits filed by Crystal Mangum... the State case against WRAL-5 News, et al. for libel/defamation which is on appeal to the NC Court of Appeal, and the Federal case against Oxygen Media Group about libel/defamation.
Regarding the former State case, Mangum has delivered a Proposed Record on Appeal to the defendants' attorney, and is waiting for a response with possible recommended changes or additions to the record. The attorney has thirty days to reply. If no changes/additions are made, then the proposed record submitted by Mangum will be accepted by the appellate court.
Regarding the latter, have not received any response from my letters to the Clerk of Court and Crystal and I are awaiting to hear from the Magistrate Judge regarding a hearing or a recommendation. Don't know if there's a strict time limit for that.
In the interest of keeping your readers informed, I will be happy to start another countdown. Just confirm for me the release date.

Thanks for the update on Mangum v. Oxygen Media. You saved me a trip to the Federal Courthouse to check out the docket.
Hopefully the next document will come from a magistrate judge.
What happened to your last lawsuit against WRAL? I believe that you told us that you offered to settle, if WRAL agreed to all of your demands.
January 20, 2022 at 6:22 PM
Hey, Durham Man.
My lawsuit against WRAL-5 News was dismissed and never went to trial. Superior Court Judge Bryan Collins dismissed it with a one-page/two-paragraph/four-sentence Order in which he claimed only that I did not have merit. As a result, the WRAL-5 News online article of July 4, 2016 still reads that my lawsuits against Duke University was about the Duke Lacrosse case... no mention of the April 14, 2010 attempted kidnapping plot against me for being black and a Nifong supporter.
I told WRAL-5 News that I would not sue if they made the corrections... namely that I was not a Durham man and that my lawsuit was not about the Duke Lacrosse case. Although they made a pitiful correction on the Durham man falsity after more than two years, the online story still reads that my lawsuit was about the Duke Lacrosse case. This from a media company with a slogan "Coverage you can count on."
Anonymous said... I’ll ask again…what is the Proposed Record on Appeal for? What purpose does filing this document serve?
January 21, 2022 at 5:35 AM
Hey, Anony.
I am not an attorney, but my understanding is that the appellant (party filing an appeal against a ruling) presents within 35 days of receiving a transcript/or filing notice of appeal, a proposal to the appellee (opposing party) of documents including briefs and exhibits which the Appellant believes are of significance. The Appellee then as thiry days to make additions or suggested corrections to the record. If the Appellee doesn't respond withing thirty days, the Appellant can move for the court to accept his/her proposal to be the binding record upon which the appeal is based. Otherwise, the best case scenario would be for both parties to agree on the record on appeal. The record on Appeal would be the documents upon which the Court of Appeals panel would use as a basis for making its adjudication... with issues not in the record not under consideration.
Anyway, after the record on appeal is established, the appellant pays court fees and files his/her brief... and the process is on its way.
Possibly Dr. Caligari can provide a more coherent explanation.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Yes, Sid. Anyone can get that information from nccourts.gov.
What I’m asking is what specifically is this proposed record on appeal for this case supposed to do? What purpose in this case does it serve? Weren’t you involved in creating it?
What about the existing record are you trying to change?
If you’d taken Ishmael’s offer, we could see this document and draw our own conclusions.
As I recall, after the appeal in your most recent WRAL case was denied, WRAL notified you that it would be filling a claim against you because of your frivolous litigation. What happened to that claim by WRAL?

Hey, Durham Man.
I never received any notification from WRAL that they were going to sue me. Where did you hear that?
I hope that it would sue me, because I certainly would not move to have the case dismissed. I would gladly meet them in court... with a countersuit, of course.

January 21, 2022 at 7:56 PM
Hey, Anony.
I think the purpose of the Record on Appeal is to more or less lay down the ground rules of what documents are involved in the appeal... the Record on Appeal is more or less a collection of documents that have been filed and not a new documents that have been created. Once the Proposed Record on Appeal is resolved, then Mangum will begin to file her brief.
Hope that explanation suffices. Let me know if further elucidation is required.
I believe you indicated that you were contacted by the WRAL lawyer, who indicated that WRAL was considering the claim. However, I am not going to waste my time searching for your post.
"the Record on Appeal is more or less a collection of documents that have been filed and not a new documents that have been created"
The court and the plaintiff/defendants already have the documents that have been filed in this case.
Any lawyer involved with the case can get them from PACER if they currently don't have a copy.
So for the 3rd time, I ask -- What purpose does this "proposed record on appeal" serve, specifically for this case?
"Once the Proposed Record on Appeal is resolved, then Mangum will begin to file her brief."
You stated on January 20, 2022 to Fake Abe Froman that the "case against WRAL-5 News, et al. for libel/defamation..is on appeal to the NC Court of Appeal.."
If that case is already on appeal, what brief is Mangum beginning to file?
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
This morning I returned a call to counsel for WRAL-5 News. I was reminded that "the courts have spoken" with regards to my lawsuits (in which defendants' Motions to Dismiss were granted) and was told that WRAL was considering filing a lawsuit against me seeking sanctions. The call to me was a courtesy to see if I would agree to settling out of court before the complaint against me was filed.
Naturally, I quickly responded that I would be more than willing to try to reach a settlement with a proviso that WRAL would publish a correction to the libelous and defamatory July 4, 2016 online news article. Before I could mention anything about my court cost, and other reasonable conditions, I was interrupted by the attorney who indicated that my demands were a non-starter. So, as we left it, we were at an impasse and it appears that WRAL-5 News may file a civil lawsuit against me.
I wouldn't count on the mainstream media covering this legal war (it hasn't to date), but this blog site will.
I'm a senior citizen who believes that the state of North Carolina has harshly, excessively, and unjustly treated former Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong.

This was the same guy, when he was AG and under immense political pressure, declared the Duke Lacrosse Players innocent and dropped the sexual assault charges laid by DA Nifong against Evans, Seligmann and Finnerty.
Well, since the DNA evidence and security-camera footage proved their innocence, what should he have done?
Dr. Wecht has a J.D.fro the University of Maryland. I don’t think he’s ever been a practicing lawyer, however, nor do I find any record of him passing the bar exam in any state.
I’m pretty sure Kenhyderal agreed at one time that the 3 accused Duke LAX weren’t the rapists. He spent quite some time arguing that “Kilgo” had information about the actual perpetrators.
Was Kenhyderal under immense political pressure at that time?
@ Anonymous 12-11-21 6:16 AM You are dead wrong. Dr. Weicht has a Law Degree and is a Law Professor http://www.cyrilwecht.com/about.php It's foolish for you to suggest Dr. Wecht does not understand NC Law or Precendent. Dr.Wecht has declared Daye's death to be accidental and Crystal has been wrongly convicted of homicide. Self-defence; even the Duke Lacrosse Apologist hero "Walt from Durham" once conceeded that the angle of the penetration supported Crystal's version. The self-serving statement given by Daye was never cross-examined by Meier. Pit-bull Prosecutor, Coggins-Franks, looking for career advancement by gaoling the infamous Crystal Mangum, badgered her about positioning in time and space during this horrendous assault and when she became confused labeled her a liar without rebuttal from Meier. She had months to construct her prosecution while Meier was not allowed any time to prepare.
@ Dr. C The lack of DNA of the three does not prove their innocence of the charge of sexual assault. I'll remind you that all the Duke Lacrosse Players were tested except the one Black Player, even including those out of State at the time, but this "drunken bash" which included even more non-Players then Players and the only ones of those, tested and identified, were ones seen in photographs. Crystal gave a complete account of all her sexual activity and DNA found presumably from a rape was never identified. The Police never complied a definitive list of attendees and Lawyered up Players refused to answer questions.
In 2014, Kenhyderal stated:
"Finnerty and Seligmann were mistakenly and inadvertently identified, by Crystal, in a faulty, flawed photo line-up as persons at the party who had sexually assaulted her”
Was Kenhyderal under immense political pressure then, or is he under immense political pressure now?
I can’t find a comment regarding Dave Evans.
Anonymous said Was Kenhyderal under immense political pressure at that time?... I am not susceptible to political pressure because I have never run and never would for Political Office. The only time I run is when I am being chased by The Proud Boys
Kenny,
Regarding your post at 10:41 AM, please confirm where in his report Dr. Weight addressed NC law and Crystal’s criminal liability under NC law.
I stand by my 2014 statement regarding Finnerty. I have later come to have misgivings about Seligmann's alibi which, to many including DA Nifong, seemed contrived. Kilgo was known here as someone always highly accusatory of Evans, Which, I guess, is probably tied to what his Player friend told him about him and his non-Player friends in attendance.

There’s nothing “contrived” about a time stamped ATM receipt, taxi driver testimony, and record of his security card swiped to gain entry to his dorm during the time the “rape” supposedly occurred.
What’s “contrived” is changing the timeline of your “rape” narrative.
Why is changing the timeline “contrived”? How about cell phone records showing Mangum was talking on her phone during her rape, and stayed at the party an hour AFTER the “rape” occurred.
Dr. Harr - Are you going to comment on Oxygen Media’s latest response?
How are you going to account for the lawsuit stating the the plaintiff pro se mailed the letters (exhibits B and C), when they were sent on J4N letterhead and were signed by you and had the J4N P.O. Box as the return address?
Kenhyderal,
Please give it up. No one here believes anything you say.
Sid. Why didn’t you post my comment regarding the Oxygen Media response?
D.E.M. said: "What’s “contrived” is changing the timeline of your “rape” narrative"----- There was nobody with stop-watches recording events. Seligmann, for some reason asked to be picked up on a street corner down the street from the scene of the crime.

Actually Kenny, the last sentence of your post at 8:00 PM is based on wishful thinking on your part.
Sid -- It's been over 10 days since Oxygen Media filed their response in opposition to the motion for hearing and motion for summary judgment. Surely you've had time to see it.
Are you going to comment on it?
Your question intimates that famous Forensic expert wittness Dr. Wecht, in making a determination, fails to taker into account State Statutes. I'm afraid that's wishful thinking on your part. He is well known for his thoroghness and careful consideration of all facts and his determinations for Prosecutions or for a Defence, in Courts of Law, in all Stastes, accross the Nation, are usually seen as defiitive.
In the United States at least (and I'd bet the rule is the same in Canada), an expert witness cannot testify to a legal opinion. I learned this lesson a long time ago, when I was representing a company indicted for tax evasion because of some transactions they engaged in to reduce their tax bill. We called an expert witness, a partner at one of the largest accounting firms in the U.S., who was going to testify that the way the company acted was completely authorized by the tax laws. The trial judge threw our witness off the stand, saying, "I tell the jury what the law is. The jury convicted and the court of appeals affirmed.
Guiowen said: "Kenhyderal,Please give it up. No one here believes anything you say" ----- No one believed Dr. Harr when he said the cause of death was errant esophageal intubation. Now everyone, even you, have had to concede he was right all along. The current theory is that a Welch precedent takes effect. But that was carefully shot down by Dr. Wecht and I doubt if that theory will survive any longer either. How about it Dr. C or some of you other Lawyers who post here, is Dr. Wecht wrong?
Kenny,
No, I don't concede. Try to get Wecht to present his findings in court, and -- if he does a good job -- I might agree with him.
@ Dr.C. : Thanks for that clarification. Although the Jury never heard evidence about the accidental cause of Daye's death and were told it was as a consequence of the stab wound. My interpretation of his Jury instructions, although far from definitively clear, said the knife wound had to be the proximate cause.
Anyone know we haven't heard from Dr. Harr in over a week?
He must still be around (someone's moderating the comments), but I'm surprised he hasn't responded to the recent posts about the Oxygen Media case
...nobody with stop-watches recording events....
But there were timestamped photographs and Crystal Mangum's own cell phone records that blew up her attempt to get around Read Seligmann's alibi by changing the time of the rape.
Not to mention this little story..

Any luck finding someone under 90 to back up your story?
Dr. Harr - Since 10/18, the following motions or responses have been filed in Mangum v. Oxygen Media, LLC et al:
10/18 - Motion to Dismiss filed by Oxygen Media
11/08 - Response in Opposition to Motion to Dismiss filed by Crystal Mangum
11/08 - Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Crystal Mangum
11/19 - Response to Motion to Dismiss filed by Oxygen Media
11/24 - Motion for Hearing regarding the Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Crystal Mangum
11/29 - Response in Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Oxygen Media
12/02 - Reponse in Opposition to Motion for Hearing filed by Oxygen Media (this is the motion that includes the permanent injunction from the NC state bar as an attachment).
Is there ANY way you can make at least some of these documents available? I'm sure you (or Crystal Mangum) would have copies of both motions and responses filed by Crystal Mangum. I imagine you would have the motions from Oxygen Media that a response was created for.
If you're too busy, I can provide you an email address, and you can send them to me. In turn, I will set up a google drive that can warehouse these documents and provide you with a link so that you can update and add documents.
The of cause death in the car crash involving ex-NFL player Henry Ruggs. Ruggs was driving at speeds of up to 156 mph when his car hit another vehicle.
Tina Tintor, 23, of Las Vegas, "died from thermal injuries due to a motor vehicle collision on Nov. 2," according to a statement from Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse that was released through a county spokesperson.
"Other significant conditions contributing to her death were inhalation of products of combustion, fractures of the nasal bones, right sided ribs ... left forearm and (chest)," the statement said. "The manner of her death was accidental."

December 14, 2021 at 6:16 PM
Hey, Anony.
I'm so busy in my army of one fight for justice that I haven't had time to engage in comments recently, but your comment commands attention.
First, Mr. Ruggs is responsible for the car accident victim's death. That said, the comparison between Ruggs and Mangum is an apples to avocado one. The singular main difference between the two is that the accident in Ruggs case was caused by Ruggs, whereas the accident in Mangum's case was caused by a third party -- Duke University Hospital staff. Mangum had nothing to do with the errant esophageal intubation. Had the intubation been properly inserted to begin with, I believe, Daye would have been discharged home and recovered fully.
Consider yourself elucidated. If further edification is required let me know.
From what I recall, in the US there are only 6 "manner of death" options. I think you can google it.
"Accident" is the only one that could possibly be assigned, as it wasn't a "natural" death, suicide, or homicide.
"Manner of death" is NOT the same as "cause of death"
Of all the comments that "deserve attention", the "apples to avocado" Henry Ruggs comment is the one you chose?
You got someone VOLUNTEERING to post your legal documents for everyone to review, and you didn't respond to that?
Oh, you bet further elucidation is required for this dumb@ss decision.

If you are at all familiar with my shar-videos, then you are aware that my productions are the envy of Hollywood-types. Literally I am a movie production company of one. The project on which I am working is one of the most important that I've done and is a three-parter. With the exception of the Epilogue, it has been completely scripted and narrated. I need to get the soundtracks edited and applied, then affix images and text to the documentary. The final step would be post-production issues related to uploading to my domain/blog site and YouTube, and disk production. So it's a lot of work. It will take a Herculean effort to meet my proposed mid-January 2022 deadline.
Keep the patience.

By "downloading apps", I assume you mean for your phone. Based on my experience, the process of storing and linking to documents is better performed from your computer.
If you have a Gmail address, you already have a Google account, so you won't need to create an account for google drive — you can simply sign in to Drive using your Gmail information.
There is a limit to the size of the google drive for personal accounts (up to 15 GB), so I don't recommend storing your videos there. Documents (especially in PDF format) should be fine, though.

Don't believe your procedure would decrease time and energy to present the documents online. Right now my priority is the shar-video... which will be the basis for future secret projects.
Dr. Harr,
Good luck with your future secret projects.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT MESSAGE!!
I hope that everyone has a fantastic Christmas, and that your stockings are filled with delicious edibles rather than lumps of coal. Please stay safe by masking and social distancing when required... and, of course, getting your vaccinations and boosters.
As a bonus, I am going to reveal one of my secret projects, which so far has been a bust. It is called: OPERATION DURHAM MAYOR.
On or about December 7, 2021, Elaine (Bushfan) O'Neal was sworn in as the mayor of Durham, succeeding Mayor Steve Schewel, who, like his predecessor Bill Bell, did absolutely nothing to help Crystal Mangum. At least, Bell gave me about fifteen minutes of his time before rejecting me.
Elaine O'Neal is quite an accomplished and respected individual... an African American who has served as a Durham District Court judge. Not only that, but she went to the same Durham church as Crystal Mangum and they knew each other... long before the Duke Lacrosse incident in 2006.
I read about her campaign for mayor in a newspaper article in early August 2021, and on August 11, 2021 I sent her a three page letter asking basically for nothing more than a letter to Dr. Mandy Cohen, the Secretary of NC DHHS, requesting that she order the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to review the April 14, 2011 autopsy report by Dr. Clay Nichols on Reginald Daye. Didn't think that was asking too much.
LINK to letter
Unexpectedly she responded with a phone call, and I was thrilled. We spoke for more than ten minutes estimated, and I briefly reinforced information in the letter. I felt confident that being a church-going individual with a legal background (as a judge she understood the absolute innocence in the case), and a friend of Ms. Mangum, she would comply with my menial request for a letter to Dr. Cohen.
My contact with her in August 2021 made me confident that Ms. Nangum might be released before Christmas. Having not hearing from her, I wrote her a two-page hand-delivered letter on November 17, 2021 to congratulate her on her overwhelming victory to win the mayoral seat. Subtly I tried to implore her to act with some urgency with a letter to Dr. Cohen in order for Mangum to avoid spending an eleventh consecutive Christmas behind bars. About a week later, I received a letter later acknowledging receipt of the letter. That would be my last communication with her.
With desperation in December, I took the bus to the Durham City Hall and left letters... stating my willingness to meet with the mayor's assistant Amber Wade. No reply was forthcoming from Ms. Wade or the Mayor.
The only person in City Hall to whom my concerns were directed was the Durham City Attorney, Kimberly Rehberg... who defended Durham Officer Marianne Bond against an accusation of grand jury perjury in Mangum's Malicious Prosecution lawsuit. Hah! That would be a certain waste of time.
Thus far, OPERATION DURHAM MAYOR seems to have imploded.
After enjoying the holiday with family and friends, I would like to know what comments you have about this turn of events.
Again, enjoy the day and rest of the holiday season.

Hey, gui, mon ami.
I do not believe Mayor O'Neal or others unfamiliar with my blog site are aware of kenhyderal's contributions... so I do not believe that it is a factor in her avoiding me and refusing to help her so-called friend. She can't avoid me forever.
What I do feel is that kenhyderal's comments reinforce my claims of injustice against Ms. Mangum and are definitely a positive rather than a negative. It is also my contention that it is possible to hate a country's racist justice system without hating its people and decent aspects.

Okay, how does this involve the mayor of Durham? How does the mayor order the NC DHHS to do anything, when that organization reports to the Governor, not the mayor?
Nifong Supporter Supporter,
kenhyderal has stated before that, although he cares for Crystal, he is unable to provide assistance because he is a foreigner.
They mayor has no legal authority to do anything. Not sure what you hope to accomplish by reaching her, but she has no ability to do anything to help you or Crystal. She could ask for an investigation, but the point you continue to ignore is that there is no dispute in what happened:
Crystal stabbed Daye
Daye went to Duke
Duke screwed up and Day died.
Welch applies, no matter how much you and Kenny cry. The reason you are getting nowhere is people understand the law and proximate cause. You claim your allegations and arguments are profound and new, and they simply aren't. You are repeating what is already well known. You need to start arguing the law is unjust, not that Crystal is innocent, because she's not - she stabbed Daye, and a jury found it was not self-defense.
@ Anonymous 12:12 What the Jury didn't hear is your #3. What the facts, uncovered by Dr. Harr in the Medical Records and confirmed by Expert Dr. Wecht, was the knife wound was not the proximate cause. Given this, no Jury would have convicted Crystal of Murder. And besides had she received even a modicum of Defence, to any reasonable person it was a clear case of self-defence Remember, large, drunken jealous, enraged Day kicking down the bathroom door and dragging her out by the hair where she sought safety from his deadly knife hurling attack.
@ Guiowen Yes, I criticize the U.S.A. As a foreign National I know that no Nation is perfect but what drives others crazy is the sheer arrogance of those Americans who constantly make claims of American exceptionalism; where, by any reasonable assessment, they are exceptionally bad and failing in so many crucial areas. Democracy the chief amongst them but including Justice, Equality, Education Opportunity, Healthcare, Safety etc. Thankfully African Americans provide a moral conscience and they always lead the struggle for needed reform. It's unfortunate it has always taken America years to finally "do the right thing" If ever I thought I was hurting Crystal's cause I would keep my mouth shut.

December 26, 2021 at 12:12 PM
Hey, Anony.
I disagree that the Mayor of Durham has no legal authority regarding Crystal Mangum. Crystal Mangum was born in Durham, and lived all of her life (with the exception of a couple of years in the U.S. Navy and the past decade in prisons across the state) in the Bull City. The Department of Corrections considers Mangum a Durham resident. As such, she is a constituent of the Mayor of Durham.
As the Mayor of Durham, Mayor Elaine O'Neal has a duty to her constituent to do what she can to help her constituent Mangum, who is in addition a friend of Mangum and member of the same church years prior to the Duke Lacrosse incident. Morally, as a friend, Mayor O'Neal has a duty, though not legal, to do what she can to help her wrongly no-crime convicted friend.
I believe it is clear from my August 11, 2021 letter that my intent was to persuade the mayor to write a letter to the Secretary of NC DHHS to ultimately get a review of the autopsy report by Dr. Nichols.
Finally, I believe your interpretation of Welch is too simplistic and wrong. Why Welch is not applicable in Mangum's case is explained in Dr. Wecht's report.
That said, I very much appreciate you admitting that "Duke screwed up and Daye died." Acknowledging that truth is something the media refuses to do... and which has led to the recently filed civil lawsuits.

I would be honored to work with kenhyderal and contact Mayor O’Neal. We would be an army of three. How do I contact kenhyderal?

Hey, Nifong Double-Supporter.
How about an army of two... you and me? E-mail me at justice4nifong@gmail.com with your contact information and identity (preferably your real name) and I'll send you the information. If you are serious, I will also include my cell number so we can discuss fighting for justice for Crystal over the phone. Thanks.

“ Yes, the Secretary of NC DHHS reports to the governor, but it also oversees the NC Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, and as per protocol and precedence, it can take the initiative to order the NC OCME to conduct a review of an autopsy report... as it did in the Dottie Amtey case.”
Okay, how does this involve the mayor of Durham? How does the mayor order the NC DHHS to do anything, when that organization reports to the Governor, not the mayor?
December 26, 2021 at 5:54 AM
Hey, Anony.
Mayor O'Neal has a First Amendment-guaranteed Right to send a letter to the NC DHHS Secretary... especially if it deals with her constituent. Mangum, who was born and lived most of her life in Durham and is considered a Durham resident by the NC Department of Corrections, is therefore Mayor O'Neal's constituent. Additionally, their acquaintance and friendship extends years before the 2006 Duke Lacrosse incident.
Although the NC DHHS Secretary may not be legally compelled to comply with the mayor's request for a review of the Dr. Nichols' autopsy report, surely there would be no harm in making an attempt. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
If I had a friend who I knew was wrongly incarcerated, I would take immediate and substantial action. As a mayoral candidate, Ms. O'Neal was notified about Mangum's unjust vendetta driven plight in an August 11, 2021 letter. She has done nothing about this injustice... to my knowledge.
Dr. Harr,
Why are you unwilling to ask kenhyderal for help?
Perhaps kenny could ask the the Mayor of Canada to intervene on Mangum's behalf?

Are you considered a constituent in North Carolina in you're in prison? My understanding is that a constituent has to have ability to appoint another person to be a representative (in other words, a registered voter).
At least, that's what Google tells me :)
Kenny,
Just because you ignore the law on proximate cause doesn't mean everyone else does. Had Crystal not stabbed Daye, he would not have been in the hospital. Had he not been in the hospital, Duke's mistake couldn't have killed him. Therefore, the stabbing was a proximate cause of his death.
Had she not stabbed him, he would not have died that day in that way.
Not sufficient, according to Dr. Wecht. That would apply only if Daye was being treated for the stab wound that sent him into hospital. Separate from that was a series of actions and/or lack of actions by Duke totally unrelated to the stab wound administered by Crystal (in self defense I might add) For example Daye came to Hospital awake and alert with a stupefying blood alcohol level, indicative of chronic alcoholism where they failed to stave off certain acute alcohol withdrawal with adequate preventative treatment which resulted in him lapsing into, potentially life threatening, acute delirium tremens. Transferred to the critical care unit they then made the deadly medical error of errant esophageal intubation that went unrecognized in a timely manner. This resulted in cardiac arrest, cerebral anoxia and brain death. His final death came after elective removal from life support. All this chain of events leading to his death stand alone and are unrelated to Crystal. You've all heard my hypothetical; if a drunken Daye accosted me and I gave him a push causing him to fall and break his ankle then; followed by the same scenario, would I be guilty of murder? You all need to re-look at the law in this respect and tell us what it actually says.
To the poster @ 8:25:
kenhyderal is a fighter for justice. When constructing his subtle and groundbreaking arguments, he never allows himself to be constrained by mere legal technicalities or legal mumbo jumbo. kenhyderal knows in his heart what is the appropriate outcome and he is not afraid to apply Canadian precedents to arrive at a desired outcome.
"Lose control of the document"? In what way? You have the original documents in your possession -- if I were to alter the documents in any way, it's a simple matter for you to show they were altered.
Further, I would give you (or you daughter, for that matter) manager access to the drive so that you could edit or even remove files if you think they've been tampered with.
I would ask, however, that manager access would not be shared with anyone other than those we've mutually agreed on.
You've written the letters, the motions, and the responses (I assume on digital media). If so there's no need for additional preparation. I'll set up the drive, give you manager acess, and you can drop the files out yourself.
once they're on the drive, I'll share the links to them for your readers here in the comments.
If you feel uncomfortable posting the documents on the share yourself, email them to me (or your daughter) and she or I will drop the files out.
If your daughter has any concerns, let me know and I'll address them for her. If need be, I can share my email address with you and she can contact me directly with any questions.
I really am trying to assist you here, Dr. Harr.
It seems to me that you're making yourself an "army of one" when you don't have to be.
WSidney,
I think Kenny, on 12/25, 5:52, makes it clear that there is a lot he dislikes about the United States.
@ Guiown: Yeah, the lack of Democracy, the lack of single payer univeral cradle to grave health care, the broken Justice System, , the broken Immigration System, the failing Public Schools. the lack of gun control, the rampant gun violence, the "Prison Industrial Complex" "Citizens United", campaign finacing, Gerrymandering, voter suppression, politicized Supreme Court and unfortunately still too much latent vestiges of racism. The majority of Americans agree but they have no political power.
Dr. Harr,
You seem to be ignoring my question. Why are you unwilling to ask kenhyderal for help?
Sidney,
You can take my advice, or ignore it.
kenhyderal said:
"You've all heard my hypothetical; if a drunken Daye accosted me and I gave him a push causing him to fall and break his ankle then; followed by the same scenario, would I be guilty of murder?"
All depends, if you pushed him so that he needed to have surgery on the ankle and all the complications surgery puts Daye in, then yes.
However, if it only required Daye to have a cast put on his ankle in the emergency room and not admitted to the hospital, then I doubt Daye would have died. Because he would not have gone into alcohol withdraw since he could have had alcohol when he returned home from the emergency room.
Dr. Wecht's example with the person with cancer and a car accident is similar in weakness.
@ Anonymous 12-29-21 1;36. In Dayes' case there were no documented complications to the repair procedure he underwent. Do you actually believe, in my hypthetical I could be found guilty of murder under a NC vs Welch precedent? Nothing in the Welch ruling even remotely applies to Crystal's case or my hypothetical case. I take it you have all read the case or at least Dr. Harr's clear analyisis of it in his 2013 post https://justice4nifong.blogspot.com/2013/05/state-v-welch-is-not-applicable-to.html. Please show us where you think Welch applies in Crystal's case and where you believe that her sending him to hospital could in any way be a cause of Daye's death she was resposible for.
Right on kenhyderal. Your probing questions confirm your thorough understanding of the Welch ruling.
It is obvious why I am proud to call you my friend.
Hey Sid, are you there?
Dr. Harr,
It is obvious that kenhyderal has silenced his critics and doubters with his probing questions.
Since you apparently refuse to let Ishmael help you get your documents posted, how about you cut and paste the contents of the last 2 letters you sent to the court in regards to Mangum v. Oxygen?
Thanks, Kenny -- That link you provided is the one where Sid also stated:
"There's not going to be a trial. The prosecution is going to try and force a plea deal, and if they are unable to do so, they'll drop the charges at the last minute.
The prosecution doesn't have a case!!"
So, yeah -- you can trust Sid's "clear analysis" on Welch as much as you can trust his "clear analysis" of the prosecution in Mangum's trial...Or pretty much his analysis on any trial, for that matter.

Hey, Anony.
Dr. Wecht's report confirms that Welch does not apply.
As for my analysis, at the time I made the analysis, I was naively under the belief that the justice system and the courts were at their core honorable institutions that would uphold justice. Mangum's no-crime wrongful conviction smashed that ideal to pieces.

Scarcity of my comments is basically due to the enormous amount on my plate. Keep in mind that I am an army of one.

Hey, Anony.
Clearly, there's no disrespect to Ishmael, but I simply lack the time to work with him on a project requiring me to download apps, etc.
Because of the importance of the two letters that I sent to the Clerk of the NC Eastern District Federal Court, I have taken the time to upload them to my domain and will present links to them below... both letters reflect my concerns about the possible attempt to deprive her of due process by omitting input by the Magistrate Judge.
LINK to Letter to Clerk dated November 22, 2021
LINK to letter to Clerk dated December 16, 2021
Let me know what you think. Do you believe the Federal Court will follow standard procedure and refer Mangum's case first to a Magistrate Judge or will it bypass the Magistrate Judge and send her case directly to the District Court Judge and deprive Mangum of due process... as in her last encourter with the Federal Court's Middle District?
Dr. Harr,
Although you have responded to many of the recent posts, you continue to ignore my question. Why are you unwilling to ask kenhyderal for his assistance in contacting Mayor O’Neal?
Dr. Harr:
The local rules of each federal district court are posted on the court's website. You may want to check if there is a rule about which cases get assigned to a Magistrate Judge and which don't.
"Dr. Wecht's report confirms that Welch does not apply."
One man's opinion is not confirmation just because his opinion matches yours.
I honestly have no idea what the standard procedure is for Federal Courts in regards to civil cases.
Can you point to any documentation that defines this standard procedure and shows us how the court did not follow this procedure?
In the absence of any documentation, can you have someone (like Dr. Caligari or your good friend, James Coleman) outline this procedure so we can see how Mangum was denied due process in her last encounter with the court?
Not sure why it matters, but, IIRC...
1) Both parties have to agree to let the case be handled by a magistrate judge
2) A magistrate judge handles cases that would otherwise be on the dockets of the district judge.
If my recollection is correct, I see 2 reasons for a case being handled by a district judge rather than a magistrate judge, neither of which can be construed as depriving someone of due process.
Let us know what you find on the court's website.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION!!
With regards to Federal Court procedure, in Mangum's malicious prosecution case in the Federal Court's Middle District, the Magistrate Judge initially was involved as he granted Mangum's Motion to Extend Time to File, however, her second Motion to Waive Word-count was denied by Middle District Judge Catherine Eagles (the same judge who maligned me by saying my lawsuits were vexatious and frivolous and fined me a thousand dollars). Black-rober Eagles then totally butted in by dismissing Mangum's case without the Magistrate Judge even filing a recommendation. She interjected herself into the proceeding when she had not been properly referred the case.
Needless to say, rules and fairness do not apply when it comes to Mangum in the justice system. I have no reason to believe that it is routine or customary to exclude involvement by the magistrate... I merely wrote to the clerk of court for reassurance that Mangum's case would first be evaluated by a magistrate, who would give a recommendation, allow for an Objection to be filed by the aggrieved party, and then a reply to the Objection before being referred to the U.S. District Judge.
I am a legal layperson and should not be expected to research in order to find out procedural questions. All I wanted to do is make sure that the magistrate judge would be involved in the process. This is surely something the clerk of court or one of his assistants could provide an answer.
I must get to work on other timely issues, so although I can post comments from my cellphone throughout the day, I am going to be busy on my other projects and will not be responding to comments for the next five or six days. Kenhyderal can probably respond to most questions... or Lance, Dr. Caligari, and others.
Also, remain interested in whether or not you believe that Mangum's case will have involvement by a magistrate judge.
As you were.
“ I have no reason to believe that it is routine or customary to exclude involvement by the magistrate... I am a legal layperson and should not be expected to research in order to find out procedural questions…”
Hard to argue that the court isn’t following standard procedure when you don’t know what the standard procedure is.
But, your own ignorance hasn’t stopped you before, so why should it stop you now?
Dr. Harr:
I don't have time right now to explain what Magistrate Judges are and what they can and cannot do, but suffice it to say that the involvement of a Magistrate Judge is not required by law and is certainly not a component of "due process." In fact, most lawyers will tell you that, by and large, you are better off if the District Judge decides an important motion than if s/he sends it to a Magistrate Judge for a "Report and Recommendation."
Sid,
What is a “legal layperson?”
kenhyderal,
Can you respond to my question?
Cambridge Dictionary defines "legal" as:
connected with the law
It defines a "layperson" as:
someone who is not an expert in or does not have a detailed knowledge of a particular subject
From this this definition we can only assume that a "legal layperson" is:
someone who is not an expert in or does not have a detailed knowledge of the law
As shown by his numerous court filings, it's an accurate description of Dr. Harr.
Nifong Supporter Supporter (1-5-22 @4;46 AM) said: "kenhyderal, Can you respond to my question?"--- I can't seem to see where you, recently, directed a question to me. Could you repeat it.
Kenhyderal -- Nifong Supporter Supporter asked Dr. Harr why he is unwilling to ask YOU for his assistance in contacting Mayor O’Neal.
Dr. Harr never answered this question, but recently stated:
"Kenhyderal can probably respond to most questions.."
I think Nifong Supporter Supporter is asking you to fill the role Dr. Harr has placed you in, not respond to a question specifically asked of you.
That's my take, anyway.
Ishmael,
Thank you for your post. I look forward to kenhyderal’s response and serving with him in an army of three.
Good luck with that, Nifong Supporter Supporter… I offered my assistance to Dr. Harr in an attempt to make the various legal documents available to readers, and was told first told he was concerned about “losing control of the documents”.
When I explained that he and his daughter (and any mutually agreed upon resources) would have control of the documents, the response became “I simply lack the time to work with him on a project requiring me to download apps, etc.”.
Even though, as I explained, there was no application downloading. He could simply send the files to me OR his daughter, and we would post them to a google drive, and I would post the links to the readers.
Apparently, Dr. Harr wants to remain an “army of one”. I guess it feeds his persecution complex.
Isn't the Mangum V. Oxygen media case assigned to District Judge James C Dever, III?
"...her second Motion to Waive Word-count was denied by Middle District Judge Catherine Eagles (the same judge who maligned me by saying my lawsuits were vexatious and frivolous and fined me a thousand dollars). "
More definitions (again, Cambridge Dictionary):
malign -
to say false and unpleasant things about someone, or to criticize someone unfairly.
Dr. Harr was informed in Harr v. North Carolina (1:13CV673) link provided) that he was subject to further sanctions under Rule 11, including dismissal, imposition of a pre-filing injunction and even more severe sanctions if he continued to file lawsuits against the Duke Defendants based on the same facts and claims asserted in Harr I and Harr II
Dr. Harr went on after this warning to file "Harr III", which was dismissed on the grounds of res judicata . It was this case that resulted in Dr. Harr being enjoined from filing any further papers in the Middle District of North Carolina without first obtaining leave of court, forces him to pay the filing fee plus $650 for any new filing, and resulted in a $1000 fine.
Dr. Harr was in no way "maligned". He was warned there would be actions taken if he continued filing of legal arguments that were "frivolous and lack[ed] evidentiary support" subject to Rule 11 sanctions.
He ignored that warning. Actions were taken. This is Dr. Harr's fault, not Judge Eagles'.

January 10, 2022 at 2:05 PM
Hey, Anony.
Yes, it appears as though Judge Dever, with his Duke University Law School connections, has been assigned to the case. Below is an excerpt from his bio:
"He was repeatedly listed in the Best Lawyers in America and in Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite for Employment Law. Since 1997, Judge Dever has taught employment law and criminal procedure as an adjunct law professor at Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law. Since 2008, Judge Dever has co-taught a seminar on sentencing and punishment as a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University School of Law. Since 2009, he has taught criminal procedure as a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University School of Law. In 2014, Chief Justice John Roberts appointed Judge Dever to serve on the Advisory Committee on Criminal Rules, where Judge Dever served until 2021. Judge Dever also serves as a member of Duke Law School's Board of Visitors."

Hey, Fake Abe.
At the present time there are only two active civil lawsuits filed by Crystal Mangum... the State case against WRAL-5 News, et al. for libel/defamation which is on appeal to the NC Court of Appeal, and the Federal case against Oxygen Media Group about libel/defamation.
Regarding the former State case, Mangum has delivered a Proposed Record on Appeal to the defendants' attorney, and is waiting for a response with possible recommended changes or additions to the record. The attorney has thirty days to reply. If no changes/additions are made, then the proposed record submitted by Mangum will be accepted by the appellate court.
Regarding the latter, have not received any response from my letters to the Clerk of Court and Crystal and I are awaiting to hear from the Magistrate Judge regarding a hearing or a recommendation. Don't know if there's a strict time limit for that.
That's the latest on the litigation front.

Superior Court Judge Bryan Collins dismissed it with a one-page/two-paragraph/four-sentence Order in which he claimed only that I did not have merit. As a result, the WRAL-5 News online article of July 4, 2016 still reads that my lawsuits against Duke University was about the Duke Lacrosse case... no mention of the April 14, 2010 attempted kidnapping plot against me for being black and a Nifong supporter.
I told WRAL-5 News that I would not sue if they made the corrections... namely that I was not a Durham man and that my lawsuit was not about the Duke Lacrosse case. Although they made a pitiful correction on the Durham man falsity after more than two years, the online story still reads that my lawsuit was about the Duke Lacrosse case. This from a media company with a slogan "Coverage you can count on."

I’ll ask again…what is the Proposed Record on Appeal for? What purpose does filing this document serve?

Hey, Anony.
I am not an attorney, but my understanding is that the appellant (party filing an appeal against a ruling) presents within 35 days of receiving a transcript/or filing notice of appeal, a proposal to the appellee (opposing party) of documents including briefs and exhibits which the Appellant believes are of significance. The Appellee then as thiry days to make additions or suggested corrections to the record. If the Appellee doesn't respond withing thirty days, the Appellant can move for the court to accept his/her proposal to be the binding record upon which the appeal is based. Otherwise, the best case scenario would be for both parties to agree on the record on appeal. The record on Appeal would be the documents upon which the Court of Appeals panel would use as a basis for making its adjudication... with issues not in the record not under consideration.
Anyway, after the record on appeal is established, the appellant pays court fees and files his/her brief... and the process is on its way.
Possibly Dr. Caligari can provide a more coherent explanation.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
I am about a week or two away from completing Part One of my next four-parter shar-video. Rather than wait until all four parts are completed, I will publish each part after it is completed. Ergo, Part One should be uploaded to the blog site by the end of the month.
As you were.
Why would WRAL mention an “attempted kidnapping” when there’s no record of it?
Attempted kidnapping is a felony in NC, and there’s no statute of limitations for felony crime in NC.
Why haven’t you reported it to the police?
Yes, Sid. Anyone can get that information from nccourts.gov.
What I’m asking is what specifically is this proposed record on appeal for this case supposed to do? What purpose in this case does it serve? Weren’t you involved in creating it?
What about the existing record are you trying to change?
If you’d taken Ishmael’s offer, we could see this document and draw our own conclusions.
Sid,
As I recall, after the appeal in your most recent WRAL case was denied, WRAL notified you that it would be filling a claim against you because of your frivolous litigation. What happened to that claim by WRAL?

Hey, Durham Man.
I never received any notification from WRAL that they were going to sue me. Where did you hear that?
I hope that it would sue me, because I certainly would not move to have the case dismissed. I would gladly meet them in court... with a countersuit, of course.

Hey, Anony.
I think the purpose of the Record on Appeal is to more or less lay down the ground rules of what documents are involved in the appeal... the Record on Appeal is more or less a collection of documents that have been filed and not a new documents that have been created. Once the Proposed Record on Appeal is resolved, then Mangum will begin to file her brief.
Hope that explanation suffices. Let me know if further elucidation is required.
Sid,
I believe you indicated that you were contacted by the WRAL lawyer, who indicated that WRAL was considering the claim. However,
I am not going to waste my time searching for your post.
"the Record on Appeal is more or less a collection of documents that have been filed and not a new documents that have been created"
The court and the plaintiff/defendants already have the documents that have been filed in this case.
Any lawyer involved with the case can get them from PACER if they currently don't have a copy.
So for the 3rd time, I ask -- What purpose does this "proposed record on appeal" serve, specifically for this case?
"Once the Proposed Record on Appeal is resolved, then Mangum will begin to file her brief."
You stated on January 20, 2022 to Fake Abe Froman that the "case against WRAL-5 News, et al. for libel/defamation..is on appeal to the NC Court of Appeal.."
If that case is already on appeal, what brief is Mangum beginning to file?
Dr. Harr,

HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
This morning I returned a call to counsel for WRAL-5 News. I was reminded that "the courts have spoken" with regards to my lawsuits (in which defendants' Motions to Dismiss were granted) and was told that WRAL was considering filing a lawsuit against me seeking sanctions. The call to me was a courtesy to see if I would agree to settling out of court before the complaint against me was filed.
Naturally, I quickly responded that I would be more than willing to try to reach a settlement with a proviso that WRAL would publish a correction to the libelous and defamatory July 4, 2016 online news article. Before I could mention anything about my court cost, and other reasonable conditions, I was interrupted by the attorney who indicated that my demands were a non-starter. So, as we left it, we were at an impasse and it appears that WRAL-5 News may file a civil lawsuit against me.
I wouldn't count on the mainstream media covering this legal war (it hasn't to date), but this blog site will.
As you were.
