Looks as if the US Postal system is just as broken as the US Justice System. Or, is there some deceipt here. This piece of mail was not, under any circumstances, undeliverable. I suspect that that the unofficial notation that it was undeliverable was a cover for the letter being vetted and and refused either by Garret or those screening this CBS celebrity's mail. Not that I'm a conspiracy theorist but wasn't Rae Evans a former executive at CBS? I suggest Dr. Harr that you e-mail Garrett a link to this post

Sid,

Is this the Super Secret Project? A letter returned to you because you mailed it to the wrong address?

Dr. Harr,

It seems obvious that Rae Evans intervened and prevented your letter from being delivered. As you know, she has substantial influence over the operations of CBS. Have you considered suing Ms. Evans?

Hey, kenhyderal.

You're absolutely correct. Clearly someone vetting the mail was instructed to return mail. Much of the letters sent to news media is Returned-to-Sender unopened. Don't know if Rae Evans is involved.

I wish I had an e-mail for Mr. Garrett.

Hey, Anony.

The letter was mailed to the correct address... and it was not the Super Secret Project.

The Super Secret Project was an attempt to get the North Carolina State Bar to authorize or waive procedures to allow me to represent Crystal Mangum for all cases related to her murder case. The NC State Bar basically said it was unable to comply with my request. When I asked the NC State Bar for an attorney to be appointed or referred to Crystal (as we were unable to find an attorney willing to represent) it said it was unable to do that.

So the project, which was a long-shot, was unsuccessful.

Hey, Nifong Double Supporter.

I have nothing substantial to tie Rae Evans to CBS returning my letter to Major Garrett. Subsequently, I have no intention of filing a lawsuit against her. Filing lawsuits are not something I relish... doing so only as a last resort.

Nifong Supporter Supporter said...


Dr. Harr,

Please post your letter to the NC State Bar and the response. Your request was a reasonable one and I am shocked that it was not approved.

Dr. Harr,

Will you continue to represent Crystal as a lay advocate in her cases and prepare and file legal documents for her?

Prince Humperdinck said...

Wait…You actually tried to get the North Carolina State Bar to authorize or waive procedures to allow you to represent Crystal Mangum?

The same State Bar that sued you in 2013 for practicing law without a license?

You remember, the one where you were “permanently enjoined...from the practice of law in North Carolina”?

The one where the Wake County judge enjoined you from “providing any legal services or giving legal advice or counsel to any other person, firm, or corporation, including but not limited to preparation of or filing any court pleadings for or on behalf of others or advising others, specifically including Crystal Mangum.”?

And no, the NC State Bar does not appoint attorneys. A 1 minute search would have shown you that.

No wonder it was a super secret project. I wouldn’t want anyone to know I’d done something so absurd, either.

Sid won't even look or try. He will just say "the mail should have worked, the fact it didn't is proof of a conspiracy" and refuse to do anything else.

His goal has never been to get Crystal released from prison. Right now she is literally a captive audience for his nonsense. That's why he refuses to take any advice that might actually help. He and Kenny have Crystal right where they want her. Does anyone really believe Crystal will stick around with Sid once she is out? Sid clearly doesn't. He did all he could to sabotage her trial, hoping for life. She didn't get that, but now he's doing all he can to make sure she serves her full sentence.

But, like way too many in the past who abused and took advantage of Crystal, he is doing the same thing to her - by pretending he's her hero, but in reality he's isolating her and gaslighting her. It's classic abuse.

Hey, Nifong Double Supporter.

Because of obligations to Crystal and Adonis, I really don't have the time to post my formal request to the State Bar seeking authorization/waiver to represent Ms. Mangum. The Bar's refusal to allow me to represent Crystal was basically based on the fact that there were no legal rules or statutes to permit it... that was the gist of the response.

I believe conditions surrounding Mangum's case did warrant allowing me to legally represent her.

I will continue to represent Crystal until I am able to retain a Bar-accredited attorney who is willing to act as co-counsel with Crystal and who will be more dedicated to acting in Mangum's best interests instead of those of Duke University Hospital. Also, a prospective attorney for Mangum should be willing to meet with me to discuss the manner of death and medical issues in Mangum's case.

And asking a lawyer to “co-counsel” with Crystal Mangum is a guaranteed path to never finding one. She’s either representing herself (pro se), or a lawyer is representing her. That’s it.

And you cannot act as a co-counsel until you are admitted to practice and are sworn in as a North Carolina licensed lawyer.

Send your package via FedEx or UPS, like a normal person, and not by certified mail (like you are trying to serve him with court papers). Both UPS and FedEx will provide you with tracking information that will confirm when and to where your package was delivered.

Problem solved.

Hey, Nifong Double Supporter.

First of all, Adonis is a very needy Siamese cat.

My letter to the State Bar is very straightforward. I basically stated that NC Bar-accredited attorneys allowed Mangum to be convicted for a crime that was never committed. That State Bar-accredited attorneys undermined and sabotaged her case. That State Bar-accredited attorneys abandoned her and stated she was on her own. And State Bar-accredited attorneys refused to legally represent her. Because of the aforementioned I requested their authorization to allow me to represent her since I, at least, had her best interests at heart... and not Duke University's. The response was basically that there was no rule in place to allow me, a non-attorney, to represent her. So, that's basically it.

If I ever find time, I might post them, but right now I have plenty of letters to send out and I want to produce another shar-video.

Hey, Anony.

In case you haven't noticed, I don't really care about what other people think of me... I'm not ego-centric.

Mangum allowed other lawyers to represent her and look what happened to her. She ended up being convicted of second-degree murder for a crime that was not committed. Mangum needs legal counsel that will put her interests ahead of Duke University. And the only way to assure that would be if any NC State Bar-accredited attorney acts as her co-counsel.

My letter to the NC State Bar was delivered and elicited a response. My letter to Major Garrett was sent back to me Return-to-Sender unopened. By posting the correspondence online on my blog site, it is my hope that he will possibly see it eventually.

If time permits, I might, at some point, post the letter-exchange with the State Bar, but right now I have other priorities.

The Kinsley/DHHS case is mired in delay. For example, it is my understanding that the last day to submit dispositive motions is the end of February 2023. Keep in mind that this is really not that complex of a case, but it works with the run-out-the-clock defense strategy.

WRT Crystal herself - as she doens't have access to a computer or cell phone while in prison, it would be impossible for her to read any or reply to blog entries or comments.

You're a good friend -- you can always ask her.

WRT her children I doubt that they read it because they've never written on any of Sid's posts, or replied to any of the comments.

I know if someone were writing blog entries about me or my mother, I would comment.

I would bet that if we took a survey, everyone who comments here would do the same -- Although I bet both you and Sid would respond negatively, just to skew the results.

The request has to come from Crystal Mangum -- someone was kind enough to actually write the request for you (look it up).

All you need to do is print out the letter, get CGM to sign it, and send the letter (along with the required information and the Wecht document) to the governor's clemency board.

Why have you failed to act? Don't tell me -- tell CGM's children.

If the clemency is denied, then you can complain about injustice, face-saving, and "politiacal [sic] reasons"

Doesn’t it seem odd to anyone (well, any one of the 4 or so people that comment here) that Dr. Harr continues to make his videos and send his letters, yet hasn’t had Crystal Mangum even attempt to ask for clemency?

If she hadn’t been convicted of 2nd degree murder, she would still have been convicted of something along the lines of assault with a deadly weapon (or whatever it’s called in NC).

We’re that the case, she would have been out of jail last year.

Asking (correctly - without mentioning Sid, his ridiculous lolsuits, the LAX case, the ridiculous lolsuits filed by or for her, or any of the myriad other things that’s been done “on her behalf”) should be the FIRST thing that should be done for CGM.

It should start with CGM reading the template letter someone was nice enough to post, allowing her to modify it (without her adding any of the silliness mentioned above), and submitting it, along with the appropriate documentation.

It could be done in a matter of days, So why not do it? Worst case, it’s as effective as everything else that’s been done.

The consequences she faced were for daring to accuse scions of privilege with sexually assaulting her. To paraphrase Rae Evans, every day she has been paying for that. Bravely coming forth was the right thing to do but it has cost her dearly. Everything since has been a direct consequence of doing "the right thing". All those who provided her with character refrences got it right. Judge Jones got it right and finally Dr. Harr and Dr. Dr. Wecht got it right. You've got it wrong.

I would consider all of these to be negative or self-destructive behavior.

Kenny,

What evidence are you relying upon when you state that a sexual assault occurred?

kenhyderal said...

@ Anonymous 8-8-22 3:24 : Told so by the victim and corroborated by 2nd hand hearsay evidence of a direct wittness. I know the victim and, like former DA Nifong, I believe her. The recipient of the information ie. Kilgo convinced me of his credibitity and he relayed to me what he had been told by this Duke Lacrosse wittness. I know 2nd hand hearsay evidence is not admissable but, let me point out, there is no hard evidence, to the contrary, proving no assault happened.

Kilgo has credibitity.

Prince Humperdinck said...

The “victim” has said a lot of things. Do you believe them all?

Kilgo’s second-hand hearsay could be evidence….If he were willing to testify. He isn’t, and never was. AFAIK, he never stated the name of this “direct wittness”, either.

BTW, there is hard evidence that the accused Duke LAX 3 did not commit an assault or rape.

There is a great deal of hard evidence proving that the three people Mangum definitively identified as her attackers were innocent.

I saw there were are number of filings in the Oxygen Media appeal.

One (Filing 13) was a notice that had to do with a failure to satisfy fee requirements by CGM (and I assume, Sid).

Another (Filing 14) was a letter from Sid regarding the filing fee (I'll note that the fee requirements had to be resolved within 15 days of the original notice -- this letter was filed 14 days after the original notice).

One (filing 17) was a notice regarding the letter (Filing 14) from Sid.

Sid -- can you provide any details regarding these filings?

Anonymous said...

I'll note that the Mangum v. Kinsley case was reassigned to Judge Kimberly Swank (a United States Magistrate Judge).

Looks like Sid got his wish to have a judge other tha Judge Devers handle this case.

FWIW, Judge Swank has served in a number of rules for the NC Bar Association. I'm sure Sid will find something about that to complain about.

Any comment, Sid?

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

Have just learned that Mangum's federal case against Kinsley and NC DHHS has been reassigned to a magistrate judge for adjudication. I was pleasantly surprised that the Attorney General's Office went along with the request.

Honorable Magistrate Judge Kimberly Swank will now be presiding, and I have not found any conflicting interests with her related to Crystal's case. So, I am hopeful.

Regarding the Habeas Petition, it appears that there is movement in it as the Attorney General's Office has an attorney to appear in the case.

All's positive, for a change.

Still working hard on shar-video... the last batch of letters sent out garnered no response.

Am quite confident.

The filing and docketing fees had been paid, and I presented a copy of the cashier's check receipt showing payment in full. I assume that that has since been corrected to reflect that the appeal fees have been paid.

Hey, Anony.

I am very pleased that Judge Dever is no longer presiding over Mangum's case. His ties to Duke University School of Law are too strongly linked, in my opinion, to assure an impartial handling of her case. Definitely, the appearance of impartiality will be challenged with his involvement in a case involving the Duke Lacrosse Accuser.

I do not see any conflicts in Mangum's case with Magistrate Judge Swank. I believe she will likely act with impartiality.

Also, there is a difference between the North Carolina State Bar and the North Carolina State Bar Association. Regardless, I do not believe her involvement in such rulings will have any effect with Mangum's case.

True, they are different organizations (the NC State Bar is a government entity, the NC State Bar Association is not).

You have to be a lawyer to be a member of the NC State Bar Association, and in order to practice law in NC, you have to be a member of the State Bar.

So while seperate, the two organizations are very much interrelated.

Anonymous said...

We all know that the second the Magistrate rules against Sid/Mangum (and for all the reasons that have been stated, Judge Swank will), Sid and Kenny will start whining about some newly discovered conflict, and say she was corrupted by Duke. They will not accept the decision.

Prince Humperdinck said...

I don't think there's been any reasons that have been stated why the judge will rule against CGM im the Mangum v. Kinsley case.

I know there's a number of things asked for in relief (release from state custody with house arrest as an option, and "reasonable compensation/restorative justice") that simply can't be granted by the defendants, Kody Kinsley or DHHS.

So those aren't going to happen regardless of the outcome of this case.

Dr. Harr,

Given the problem you are experiencing with releasing comments, I suggest that you check again to see if kenhyderal has submitted a response to A Durham Man. kenhyderal is a fighter for justice and is committed to defending the reputation of his dear friend. It is inconceivable that he has not responded by now.

dhall said...

Dr. Harr— I don’t see any other methods to notify you of comments other than email notifications. Are you getting those notifications in your email your computer but not in your email on your phone?

If you’re getting them on one device but not the other, you’re most likely logged out of your email account on the device not receiving them. Since you’re using gmail, I don’t think your cellphone storage is a reason - we’ve emailed back and forth with no issues.

If you’re not receiving notifications on any device, check your settings and ensure your email account is defined correctly in the blogger settings.

If you’ve confirmed your email account is active on your phone, and the email settings are correct, reach out to blogger help.

I should also note that on the blogger community, someone recently (03 Aug) identified issues with notifications being delayed- so it’s not just you..

@ Anonymouses 8-10-22 , 8-17-22, Doogie Howser, A Durham Man and KH Supporter: Like former DA Mike Nifong, investigative journalist and award winning author Wm. Cohan and thousands upon thousands of sexual assault survivors, I believe Crystal Mangum. Predictably, though, she suffered the fate of so many of the "Me Too Heroines" who, after daring to come forward, were relentlessly and remorselessly attacked and pilloried. As a personal friend and ever sensitive to the traumatic ordeal she endured I never go into the gruesome details of the horrific sexual assault that she suffered.

Kenhyderal never lies. I know this, because he told me so himself.
The problem is that, because of context,he misunderstands half of what others tell him, and forgets half of what he says.
Because of this, I told him that there was about 8% probability that the story he told us (about Kilgo and the others) was true. He complained that some mathematics dean can't do any arithmetic, so he didn't believe me.

"I don't think there's been any reasons that have been stated why the judge will rule against CGM im the Mangum v. Kinsley case."

I don't think that's how it works. The burden is on Sid/Mangum to PROVE their case.

As I see it - and I am not a medicolegal scholar or a scholar of anything except sausage making (nor have I deep dived into the law and facts of this case) - Sid has sued the DHHS to compel them to perform a discretionary act, i.e., to review and amend Mr. Daye's autopsy report and change it's conclusions re: the cause of Mr. Daye's death.

The DHHS certainly has the authority to review ME/autopsy reports, but they aren't compelled to do so, nor does there appear to be a law permitting citizens to compel the DHHs to review and amend ME reports on their behalf and at their request.

Moreover, the DHHS responses indicate that they have reviewed the report and they stand by it.

It appears to me what Sid is suing for is not only to compel DHHS to do something they have the right (but not obligation) to do (and claim they have done) but (and here's the problem) to compel them to amend the report to adopt Sid's conclusions re: the cause of Mr. Daye's death. I see no way for that argument to succeed.

Again, I may be dead wrong, but that's my initial impression. I would be curious to hear what a real lawyer has to say about this.

I was suggesting to them they were doing that very thing and chastized them for not showing any human compassion. I hope that clarifies.

Prince Humperdinck said...

Abe -- I don't think Sid is asking for anyone to amend or change the Daye autopsy report.

Here's the relief asked for (paraphrased for the "Wherefore" section of the document):

1. defendant order NC OMCE to review Nichols autopsy report on Day and produce a written report on it (the OMCE review)

2. Order NC OMCE to present report to the Durham DA's office

3. NC OMCE provide Mangum with a copy of OMCE report

4. Mangum released from custody

5. Mangum receive reasonable compensation

6. Other such relief as court deems appropriate

All it appears to be asking for is a review and report of that review (excluding relief 4 and 5, which the DHHS can't granr anyway).

Nore to follow...

Prince Humperdinck said...

Here's an issue I see with the document.

In the first paragraph, it states that Mangum is seeking "...equitable relief and redress for violations of Mangum's 1964 Cival Rights act that are protected by the Constitutions 5th and 14th amendments"

It then goes on to state that Mangum "contends that her right to have an autopsy report undergo a review by the... NC OCME has been denied by Defendants, thereby depriving her of possible vindication of a second-degree murder conviction..."


Neither the 5th or 14th amendments have anything to do with Mangum's "right to have an autopsy report undergo a review". I can't find anything in the NC statutes (nor in the lolsuit) that state it is a "right" to have an autopsy report review either. If there were, I would think Sid would have included that (of course, I could be wrong and Sid never bothered to research, but that's on him, not me).

Just by looking at the first 2 paragraphs, it seems to me that the lolsuit is a non-starter. Of course, I'll defer to the real lawyers here :)

Anonymous said...

There is no basis for a court to order an agency of another branch of the government to do something that is entirely within that agency's sole discretion to do or not do.

That being said, DHHS stated that they did review the autopsy report, and they stand by it. I don't see how a judge can force them to review or change an official report or conclusion of a government agency from a different branch of government - even if he disagrees with the report/conclusions.

Like you, I don't think this is a federal court issue, much less a Constitutional one.

Sid is once again trying to thwart justice by attempting to collaterally attack Mangum's conviction thru a civil action in a different court involving different parties. That strategy will not succeed. No federal court judge is going to fall for that trick.

As far as I can see, sorting thru the irrelevant paragraphs Sid inserts in every pleading he drafts/files, Sid does not have a case. The only exception I take with your analysis is your statement that you see no "why the judge will rule against CGM im the Mangum v. Kinsley case." That's not how it works. A person presenting a claim must PROVE he is entitled to a ruling in his favor. The question is whether there is a reason for the court to rule in favor of Sid/Mangum. I don't see how they have come close to meeting their burden or how a court could possibly rule that the DHHS MUST conduct an additional review of the autopsy report.

Even if, by some stretch of the imagination, Sid got the court to order a review of the report and that the findings of that review to be transmitted to the DA, the DHHS is simply going to stand by the report. So, what's point to all this?

This case is a dud as far as I can see. Again, I would welcome an attorney's analysis. I am not nor do I claim any expertise in this subject matter. Maybe I am missing something.

Hmmm -- Let's say Sid somehow manages to win this lolsuit...What, after the order from NHHS, the OCME produces a written report that states:
"The Daye autopsy report has been reviewed and no changes or amendments are needed".

The report is presented to the DA's office, and a copy is given to Mangum.

This meets all the relief that NHHS is able to grant.

Then what?

Kenhyderal -- The "wooden pieces" comment is based on a statement from Crystal Mangum to William Cohan published in Vanity Fair.

The comment regarding not setting Milton Walker's clothes on fire is from an ABC article (with link provided).

How do you consider pointing out either of these statements as "Relentlessly and remorselessly attacked and pilloried", when they are simply referring to false statements made by Crystal Mangum?

The question asked is simple -- You state "I believe Crystal Mangum".

Did you believe at any time the 2 statements identified?
