HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
First, Adonis and I would like to wish commenters, visitors, and all of your families a fab year in 2025. May the new year find you all happy and in good health throughout '25.
This should be the year that Crystal Mangum is finally freed from prison, although the State is trying desperately to hold her until she serves her minimum sentence so she can then be released with the state, courts, and media refusing to revisit her post-release claims of injustice as being moot.
If I am allowed subpoenas, as are most defendants, then I am sure that I will prevail at the upcoming January 16, 2025 hearing. In the event the subpoenas are substantially delayed, I may seek to have an extension for the date of the hearing.
I believe that you misunderstand the scope of the January 16 hearing. The sole subject of the hearing is whether or not you violated the February 18, 2013 court order prohibiting you from providing legal assistance to Ms. Mangum. You readily concede that you provided legal assistance in violation of the order.
I do not believe that the hearing will allow you an opportunity to explain WHY you felt justified in violating the court order. Your requests to subpoena Dr. Pascarella and Dr. Zani will be rejected because they do not pertain to the issue to be addressed in the hearing. .
The legal assistance you have provided to Ms. Mangum over more than ten years provides significant support for the rationale for prohibiting non-lawyers from providing legal assistance.
Incredibly, you have ignored (and continue to ignore) the critical legal question raised in this case--the question of whether or not Ms. Mangum's legal liability for Mr. Daye's death was severed by an intervening cause. Even when the state has raised the issues in Welch in their filings, you consistently ignored this issue.
Dr. Nicholls and Dr. Roberts both reached the opinion that there was no intervening cause and therefore Ms. Mangum remained legally liable for Mr. Daye's death. That is the reason NC Prisoner Legal Services and the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission declined to take her case. The facts of Mr. Daye's medical treatment, including the esophageal intubation, could not overcome the expert opinions that there was no intervening cause.
Dr. Wecht's report reached a different conclusion; namely, that the onset of delirium tremens resulting from DUMC's errors in treating Mr. Daye's acute alcohol intoxication was an intervening cause that severed Ms. Mangum's legal liability for Mr. Daye's death. However, you misstate Dr. Wecht's conclusion, preferring to emphasize his conclusion that the death was the result of an accident. While that is true, Ms. Mangum would nevertheless remain legally liable if there had not been an intervening cause.
More importantly, you misstate the importance of Dr. Wecht's conclusion. DR. WECHT'S CONCLUSION IS AN OPINION. AN OPINION IS NOT EVIDENCE THAT EXONERATES MS. MANGUM. You recognized the limitations of an opinion when you dismissed AG Cooper's opinion that the lacrosse defendants were innocent of sexually assaulting Ms. Mangum. You cannot dismiss an opinion with which you disagree as irrelevant and maintain an opinion with which you agree is legally binding.
You should have used Dr. Wecht's report as an opportunity to reengage with counsel. You now had an expert opinion that there was an intervening cause that severed Ms. Mangum's legal liability. You should have relied on a legal expert to identify case law that addressed the legal questions: (1) does the onset of delirium tremens (or another preexisting condition) constitute an intervening cause and (2) on what basis can a subsequent opinion be used to challenge a conviction.
I suggested to kenhyderal more than four years ago that he use his research skills to address those questions. He did nothing.
Frankly, you should recognize that kenhyderal is a troll. Much like Break the Conspiracy several years ago, he pretends to support everything you have done. He makes no suggestions of how you could make your appeal more effective.
Kenny, since it was posted under the other post it will get missed, but how do you feel about Crystal being a proven liar? You keep talking about how honest she is, yet we know for a fact that she lied. It's unclear if she was lying about the original sexual assault, or if she is lying about the recantation, but it is clear she is lying.
Why should anyone trust anything she has to say now?
@ Marina 1-1-25 10:57==== No pretense on my part. I have absolutely no legal qualifications and I do not know how Dr. Harr could have been more effective. As has been shown, over and over, by Dr. Harr's efforts, something any objective person can clearly see, the fix is in by the NC Justice System and they use every means available to run-out the clock, hoping that their malfeasance, in denying Justice to an innocent person, will be forgotten once her sentence is over. I suspect that even if she had a Lawyer they woild have delivered the same decisions. A question I've asked you before. are you a Lawyer? Trolls abound here and are present in every thread.
"If I am allowed subpoenas, as are most defendants, then I am sure that I will prevail at the upcoming January 16, 2025 hearing."
How would any subpoena show that you are not practicing law without a license? How would that show you are not acting in contempt of the 2013 court order? I agree with Marina Lemmons that your motion will be rejected. It has nothing to do with the order to show cause.
Your January 1, 2025 at 3:41 PM comment on the prior thread confirms that you are one of those "making sport of a serious issue being discussed.” Thank you for your clarity.
Your January 1, 2025 at 3:50 PM comment on the prior thread is unclear. I do not see in his report where Dr. Wecht opined that anyone who disagreed with his conclusion (that the onset of delirium tremens was an intervening cause) could only be acting in bad faith. Can you point out the relevant language? Thanks.
Yes, I did technically violate the injunction, but the reason why I did is extremely important. The reason specifically being is that the State failed to provide Ms. Mangum with legal counsel to which she was entitled. The NC Prisoner Legal Services did nothing for her and then abandoned her as a client on January 17, 2017. The NC Innocence Inquiry Commission, another state agency, refused to take Mangum as a client with four different executive directors refusing to meet or communicate with me about Crystal's innocence. If the state would have effectively represented Ms. Mangum she would have been found not guilty or the conviction would have been vacated and I would never have gotten involved... ergo, it is the State's fault that I was forced to violate the injunction.
With regards to credibility, I would take what Dr. Wecht said over the opinions of Dr. Nichols, Dr. Roberts, and Dr. Aurelius. Besides being both a physician and attorney and having the respect of his peers around the world, Dr. Wecht's integrity is beyond reproach. Dr. Nichols, whose autopsy report you apparently believe to be accurate, committed material perjury, was fired from his job, was being considered for criminal investigation for his professional work in other cases, and was refused reinstatement after the criminal investigation was dropped, has Erdmann-esque level integrity, and like notorious Texas medical examiner Dr. Ralph Erdmann has a penchant for producing made-to-order autopsy reports to favor police and prosecutors at the expense of many innocents... mostly people of color.
The challenge I have for you, Ms. Lemmons, is to identify the "complication" from the stab wound that was responsible for Daye's death. No one else can.
Finally, I wish you and your family a fab 2025 and hope your year is full of happiness and good health.
Dr. Harr asks: "The challenge I have for you, Ms. Lemmons, is to identify the "complication" from the stab wound that was responsible for Daye's death. No one else can."
I did that on the earlier thread. You posted my explanation.
Dr. Harr -- The NCIIC cannot accept claims from a family member, friend, acquaintance, or neighbor. They tell you that on their website. The appropriate action was for you to provide their contact information to Ms. Mangum and have HER contact them. Did you do that? Did she contact them?
In this post, I am responding again to Dr. Harr’s challenge to identify the “complications from a stab wound to the chest” referred to by the state. I responded to his challenge earlier.
Crystal Mangum stabbed Reginald Daye on April 3, 2011. The stab wound was treated within hours of the incident. The initial postoperative prognosis was for a full recovery. However, Mr. Daye, a chronic alcoholic, suffered delirium tremens on the fourth day of his hospitalization. Medical staff, in treating this condition, errantly intubated him in his esophagus instead of his trachea. The lack of oxygen from the inerrant intubation resulted in a subsequent brain-death comatose state. Following ten days of observation without improvement, Mr. Daye was removed from life support and died within hours.
The state disagrees with Dr. Wecht and Dr. Harr as to the applicable law and has adopted the legal position that the onset of delirium tremens is not an intervening cause that severs Ms. Mangum’s liability for Mr. Daye’s death. In support of this legal position, the state cites cases including Welch and Holsclaw.
Under this legal position, all of the medical treatment received by Mr. Daye at DUMC is due to “complications from a stab wound to the chest.” The state does not disagree with Dr. Harr’s description of the steps included in the medical treatment and summarized in the second paragraph of this post.
Based on this interpretation of the applicable law, Ms. Mangum is responsible for Mr. Daye’s death.
Dr. Harr -- Perhaps you should add someone (or several people) as an admin in the case of your absence. I'm sure you have Kenhyderal's email address, so you can invite him. You have mine as well.
@ Marina 1-2-25 , 8:59 : You are playing semantics. Does anyone here really believe Dr. Wecht did not opine that Daye's chronic alcoholism and his impending D.T. s, as a result of the inadequate treastment of acute alcohol withdrawal, in an alcoholic patient. I suggest, both Welch and Holsclaw are imperfectly applied as suitable precidents for dismissing an interrvening cause in such a circumstance as Daye's accidental death. It was Dr. Wecht's opinion that his death was not a homicide . Crystal was convicted of murder because Nichols wrongly testified that he died as a direct complication of the stab wound, something easily provable to be false and not as a complication of his hospital admission for the wound treatment. In reality, it was a complication of the Hospital's actions , improperly treating his acute alcohol withdrawal. I feel confident any Judge , asked to rule on this, would concur with Dr. Wecht's opinion. As would any Jury presenterd with the facts, something that never happened in Crystal's trial, thanks to her inadequate, state appointed, legal representation. Please look again at Dr. Wecht's examples as to why your take and what you suggest is the position of the State is not medico-legally valid, especially when citing Welch and/or Holsclaw as a rationale.
You should consider whether Dr. Harr's approach to this issue has been effective and whether it could be improved. As you know, he has limited his argument to a recitation of the treatment DUMC provided and Dr. Wecht's conclusion that the death was an accident. He has steadfastly avoided any discussion of Welch and other cases, even when the State has referenced it in its filings.
Do you think that it might be more effective to do what you are doing now? You are conceding that case law does exist, but arguing why it should not apply in this case. Dr. Harr has ignored case law altogether.
Why did you not suggest to Dr. Harr how his arguments might be improved? He could acknowledge the legal arguments that the State was making and then explain why the case law was improperly applied in this case.
Instead, you have encouraged him to rely exclusively on Dr. Wecht as his legal authority. Dr. Wecht is infallible. Any one who disagrees is acting in bad faith and is an asshole. Implying that your adversary is an asshole is not always the most effective form of persuasion.
Do you really believe Dr. Wecht is infallible and that his work should be accepted as true without discussion?
Why are you refusing to comment on Crystal's lie? You claimed she is the most honest person you know, yet we now know she is a liar. She was either lying about the assault, or she's lying about the recantation, but we now know that despite your assertions, she can, and will, lie when it suits her. Why should we trust anything she says at this point?
Kenhyderal: "Nichols wrongly testified that he died as a direct complication of the stab wound"
I have not gone back to listen to his testimony, but I understood that Nichols testified that he died as a complication of the stab wound, not specifying whether it was "direct" as you allege or was indirect. The broad interpretation of Welch that the State appears to have adopted does not require that the complication be direct.
Is my understanding incorrect, or did you misstate Dr. Nichols' conclusion?
kenhyderal: "Please look again at Dr. Wecht's examples"
I found only one example in his report. He described a terminal cancer patient expected to die in the next week who was killed in an automobile accident on his way to the hospital for treatment. Are there others I missed?
I found this example to be extraordinary weak and not at all on point with the facts in this case.
I agree with your comments that the facts outlined in Welch are sufficiently different from the facts relating to Mr. Daye's death to raise valid questions about its applicability, but I find Dr. Wecht's example to be even further removed.
I assume that you were overly eager in your attempt to support Dr. Wecht's opinion and did not recognize the apparent hypocrisy in your conflicting reactions. Is that correct?
Any legal argument presented in court must be based on established legal principles (i.e. existing case law). This is why Welch was so important to the Mangum prosecutors.
As it stands today, Mangum has neither corresponding case law to support her argument, nor does she have competent legal representation.
It's obvious that neither Dr. Harr or Kenhyderal can or will provide either.
dhall said "Any legal argument presented in court must be based on established legal principles (i.e. existing case law). "----- Or , in Crystal's case by a reasoned judicial rulling based on the unique circumstances of her case , established legal statutes defining immdiate legal cause of death, being a consequence of all factors leading up to it , in an unbroken sequance and of course by common sense. The question, is admission to hospital of an alcoholic at risk of alcohol withdrawal, in legal terms, a legal contributing cause. Once again, bear with me; my example, if a beligerrant alcoholic accosts me and I push him away, causing him to stumble, fall and fracture his ankle and who then, after having his ankle set in Hospital, suffers acute alcohol withdrawal and medical malpractice in the treatment of hs impending D.T. s kills him, am I guilty of murder?
@ Marina: Am I wrong ? For a Welch precident to come into play Daye would have to have been treated for a complication of the stab wound and/or it's tratment? Is a Hospital proscription of alcohol, in an alcoholic, a legal consequence that could directly lead up to a cause of death
Marina Lemmons -- Kenny's the guy that claimed Kilgo sent him money for CGM's bail via Western Union, with the "remitter on the W/U, as I recall, was "a" J.C. Kilgo".
He's also the guy that argued about lab tests results, when Mangum herself stated (in her book, no less) the lab tests in question never occurred.
Of course he's making sport of a serious issue being discussed. He's a troll -- regardless of his "registered blogger account".
Dr. Harr/Kenhyderal - I stand by my January 4, 2025 at 11:37 AM statement.
Kenhyderal, if the best you can do is provide a make-believe scenario to support your argument, you've lost the argument.
Unless and until either you or Dr. Harr actually do research and can provide case law that supports Crystal Mangum, any argument (even one that contains Dr. Wecht's "infallible" opinion") will fail.
FWIW, I tried to find case law supporting Mangum's position. I won't provide how I did this research, as that might be considered "acts or activities constituting the practice of law in North Carolina...", but it CAN EASILY be done.
That neither of you have bothered to do so is unfortunate for Crystal Mangum.
@ Marina 1-5-25 5: 11 AM My research tells me there is no exact legal precident that would apply to a case, where treatment of a hospialized individual with acute alcohol withdrawal is or is not being an intervening cause. Dr. Wecht's opinion, with all the weight that brings to the question, is that it would be. Sorry for not answering questions you posted. I may have lost track. Could you repost those questions?
@ Tyrone 1--5-25 8:53 Making sport of a serious issue? How so? If I recall you were here when Kilgo, a Crystal defender, was probably the most prolifiic poster here with a history of many hundreds of posts, almost daily, claiming he knew a person who witnessed the sexual assault of Crystal. Then he went to the trouble of deleting years of posts, at a time when they had to be done one at a time. He also changed his e-mail account and cancelled his google account. Scared off or bought off , I can only speculate. He did make a generous donation to Crystal's bail fund and when a bail-bondsman posted Crystal's bail as a gesture of goodwill, the funds raised, in trust, though a Raleigh Lawyer Mark Simeon, were refunded to the donors. In Kilgo's case he asked that the money go not to him but to Crystal.
I am calling on Dr. Harr to recognize the winner of his challenge to identify the complications from the stab wound to which Dr. Aurelius referred. An anonymous commenter provided the correct answer less than two hours after Dr. Harr announced the challenge.
I encourage the winner to donate the winnings towards the payment of any fine that Dr. Harr may be assessed in connection with his violation of the court order.
I offer my congratulations to the winner and encourage other posters to extend their congratulations as well.
The challenge:
Nifong Supporter
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
I will write a cashier's check in the amount of one hundred-fifty dollars ($150.00) and send it to any commenter who can explain, to my satisfaction, the specific complication(s) from the stab wound Reginald Daye sustained and/or its treatment that led to his death. The explanation must contain facts of the case.
Keep in mind that my assessment, buttressed with agreement by Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, is that no complication(s) resulted from the wound Ms. Mangum inflicted or its treatment. That it was the errant esophageal tube placement in treating Mr. Daye's delirium tremens which led to his brain-death/comatose state and subsequent removal from life-support and his actual death.
This contest is open to all individuals aged 18 and over.
As you were.

The winning answer:
Anonymous
Sidney, you keep asking "What complications?" From Dr. Aurelius's affidavit it is quite clear. Mr. Daye's complications were alcohol withdrawal caused by him having to be hospitalized because Mangum stabbed him. You may try to say this is a totally different problem not tied to the stab wound, but it is not. Dr. Wecht's analogy in his report, stated that someone with terminal cancer on the way to treatment dies in a car accident and thus the accident caused that person's death not the cancer. This analogy is quite weak in my opinion and does not relate to Mr. Daye's death in any way. Mr. Daye died because a chain of events happened to him after being stabbed and admitted to the hospital. I believe that if you would have just let the legal representation Mangum had after her trial continue, without your intervention, then she might be freed or at least a reduced sentence. You could have started your mucking around after all her legal attempts failed with a real lawyer. But Mangum and you for some reason did not let that happen and thus all is lost. But you got great satisfaction from filing many lawsuits that were destined to fail.
You can’t send money through W/U using an anonymous or fake name. You have to use a legal ID. So your claim about the remitter being “J.C. Kilgo” is false. Making a claim you know to be false regarding a serious issue is making sport of that issue.
The same is true of your claim about Mangum’s lab tests. You made a false claim without even bothering to check with the people ( your alleged “good friend”) involved.
Now you’re making claims about Kilgo with nothing to support them
The posters are just making fun of you. Your earlier discussion of the Brady rule was one of the most moronic legal discussions Most of us have ever seen.
It is the perfect response to a poster claiming you are a troll (one who "makes sport of a serious issue being discussed"). You respond with inane blather about Kilgo. This post eliminates any uncertainty that you are a troll. Your answer would only have been clearer if you had responded "I, kenhyderal, am a troll. I am one of those making sport of a serious issue being discussed."
Interesting point regarding Western Union, Tyrone.
I recall winning the "lab test" bet from Kenhyderal, (oddly enough, Kenhyderal sent the money to Dr. Harr, rather than contacting me and getting my address).
IIRC, Dr. Harr did NOT show me anything from Western Union -- rather he showed me what I think was a deposit slip with his (Dr. Harr's) name on it.
I can only assume that Dr. Harr did not show me the Western Union payment because (if there was one), it would have contained Kenhderal's real name.
For anyone interested, I told Dr. Harr to place the money into Crystal Mangum's prison account (JPay? Something like that). I never received confirmation that the money was deposited for her, but I trust Dr. Harr.
From the commenter on July 6th: "I believe that if you would have just let the legal representation Mangum had after her trial continue, without your intervention, then she might be freed or at least a reduced sentence."
That is my long-held belief as well. Dr. Harr is directly responsible for Crystal Mangum losing at least her first two lawyers. One of them because he posted attorney-client privileged communications on this blog.
I rarely bother to check in on this blog, as I've found there's nothing that I can contribute to discussions here any longer.
I feel I have to comment on the current situation, however.
I told Sidney at least 10 years ago that his actions opens him to counts of practicing law without a license. I also explained to him WHY he lost the original Feb 2013 hearing when the court entered that judgment and injunction.
To the purpose of my comment:
Sidney -- Show Cause hearings are very evidentiary based. The plaintiff must be able to show the judge the ways in which the opposing party (that would be you) has not complied with the order currently in place (the permanent injunction enjoining you from activities constituting the practice of law in North Carolina). The defendant (that would be you) must show the judge that the defendant has complied with the current order in place.
You've admitted here that you've knowingly violated the permanent injunction. All the plaintiff has to do is quote you.
I said in 2013 and I'll state it again. There's no reason to hear oral arguments on your behalf once you've admitted your guilt.
@Marina 1-5-25 4:30 PM --- Inane blather eh, indicating, to you, I am not a serious poster on this blog. Your opinion ! I hold no such opinion of you. I wonder what the blog's host Dr. Harr thinks? I opine, though, you are a contibutor who has adopted the Roger Stone stategy of debating issues.
No. All the Jury ever heard was the unchallenged testimony that Daye died as a result of complications to the stab wound. Something the treating Physicians could easily attest to. B.T. W. it defies common sense to suggest Daye's chronic alcoholism was a complication of the stab wound . Her Court appointed Lawyers adamantly refuse to raise the issue of Daye's death being an accident due to probable medical malpractice. It took an investigation by Dr. Harr to bring that to light. The appointed Lawyers conducted no investigations. Thanks to Dr. Harr now everyone knows that Crystal did not murder Daye. Even you. Now they are relying on his hospital admission, which was for treatment of his wound, not for what really killed him, the poor treatment of his acute alcohol withdrawal, precipitated by Duke's failure to properly treat a chronic alcoholic deprived of his habituated dose.
I think that Marina Lemmons is a serious poster on this blog. At least those posts pertained to the topic at hand --until that discussion was derailed (in Roger Stone-like strategy).
I've taken you seriously, but I can definitely see why others don't. I'm finding their arguments about you being a troll more and more compelling.
Going forward, I will attempt to keep my comments/questions relative to the blog topic at hand, or to responses to questions I've asked about the topic at hand. I will acknowledge and accept admonition when I do not.
Thanks for the analysis, Lance. I think we can agree that the latest motion by Dr. Harr actually reinforces the plaintiff's argument that he is violating the 2013 order/injunction. In this motion, he states he is seeking subpoenas from the 2 physicians in the Harr et al v. Deberry case.
Dr. Harr can try to identify case law that supports his view that a person subject to a court order and injunction has right to make the unilateral decision that they are justified in violating that court order and injunction. I expect that to be a challenging search.
Kenhyderal - You're January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM comment doesn't change my opinion.
It is my opinion that If Dr. Harr had not provided Crystal Mangum with unauthorized legal assistance (or posted attorney-client privileged information to this blog), both of them would be in a better place right now.
Dr. Harr would have never received the permanent injunction, and he would not be facing the upcoming Jan 16th hearing.
I won't get into details about how this would have helped Crystal Mangum (they've been explained elsewhere on this blog-- feel free to look them up), as that is not the topic of this particular blog entry.
@ dhall 1-7-25 7:05 It was Marina that called me a troll. Like you. I've always taken her posts seriously and I've replied to them in like manner. Suggesting I'm probably a troll because I reminded Tyrone, who, I believe, was here at the time, of the past history of the poster called "The Great Kilgo", who, believe it or not, was also a serious poster. Mostly, there was nothing inane about his participation, other than he did, often, resort to denouncing The Duke Lacrosse Players in crude terms. At the time of a fund raising effort for Crystal's bail he did communicate to me directly. Out of an abundance of caution, I no longer do that, since I saw evidence then indications that people ?? in North Carolina were trying to investigate me. This is why I now direct any personal contact, from poster here, through Dr. Harr.
@ dhall 1-8-25 1-8-25 6:42AM=== Only responding to Tyrone who raised the issue of Kilgo with Marina . He was here, at the time, Marina was not. Both Tyrone and Marina, like you, I take to be serious posters. Perhaps none of you believe the same of me. I don't believe our host Dr. Harr feels that way nor does Crystal.
I assume this is Kenhyderal -- I'll note that my response on January 8, 2025 at 6:42 AM was in regards to your post on January 7, 2025 at 2:12 PM, which starts "@ dhall 1-7-25 7:05". If your response was to Tyrone, you should state as such.
@ Nifong Supporter ; Dr. Harr ? Did you receive my replies Jan 8th to Anonymous 5:17 AM and dhall 6:42 AM ? P.S the Anonymous relpy to dhall 1-9-25 8:13 AM is mine .
@ Anonymous 1-6-25 1:06 PM I see the Grammar Police remain ever-vigilant alertly watching for spelling mistakes. I'm confident Marina, though. understood my sentence despite the spelling error.
Kenny -- How did "JC Kilgo" send you money via Western Union when you can't send money anonymously or with a fake name via Western Union?
What page(s) in "The Last Dance for Grace" states that CGM was EVER at Bremerton/Kitsap Naval Base?
Was CGM lying when she said "I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong, and I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me,"?
Answer the questions. Show us how "serious" you are.
I doubt he'll find any instance where a defendant has proven they've complied with an existing court order in a Show of Cause hearing when they've admitted they are guilty of non-compliance.
@ The Prince 1-10-25 6:50 AM #1 : ?-? Some sort of fake ID, perhaps. Who can say? The records are no longer available. #2 Let's have Dr. Harr consult with Crystal and report back to us. She did work at a snowboard factory in Bremerton. #3 Dr. Harr covered this completely in the previous thread. I refer you to that. Re: The serious nature of my psrticipation, see my response to Marina 1-5-25 where I suggested that Dr. Harr, our host, should be the judge of that
There was a summons issued to Satana Deberry on the day Dr. Harr filed the lawsuit. From what I understand, Dr. Harr is responsible for ensuring the summons is delivered, and the defendant has 30 days to respond (NCGS 1A-1 Rule 4). IF the summons was delivered by the sheriff's department or an authorized person, A "return of service" is filed by the court clerk. IF Dr. Harr sent the summons via certified mail, He's supposed to prepare a notarized Affidavit of Service and file that with the county clerk.
I don't see any record of either being done here.
Borrowing a line from Anonymous @January 10, 2025 at 7:21 AM, "Perhaps Sid can enlighten us."
@ A Durham Man and @ Nifong Supporter: I did answer that ( it was basically a non-answer, though, with an explanation ) My answer was not posted. I've asked Dr. Harr twice if it and one other post, I sent to dhall , at the same time was lost or if they were withheld.
Kenhyderal -- For what it's worth, I've had several posts lost or withheld as well. The most recent being response to the questions regarding Harr et al v. Deberry.<
For an organization proclaiming "Justice4Nifong", I am surprised and disappointed that no one has brought up the fact that Mangum's lies regarding the Duke LAX 3 were directly responsible for Mike Nifong's disbarment. Where's the justice in that?
@ Doogie : A sarcastic man is a wounded man. Yes, as you correctly and sarcastly guessed that post was mine . Becaused I've frequently railed against those who anonymously post, one of them ?? has managed to hack my google account and although I have been careful to use the drop-down under "Comment as" and select Google Account my posts often show up as "Anonymous" .
@January 14, 2025 at 2:49 PM -- "... Becaused I've frequently railed against those who anonymously post, one of them ?? has managed to hack my google account". Nobody here cares enough about you to bother hacking your google account. Besides, Google has tools for managing a hacked google accounts.
If your account was hacked, you could've cleaned that up quicker than it took you to write your response to Doogie.
So don't point your finger at anyone here for being sarcastic. Sarcasm IS the body's natural defense against stupidity.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
As you are aware, the big day is here, and I feel relatively prepared. The question I have is whether or not my subpoenaed third-party witnesses will show up. Anyway, I have been busy for the past week in intense preparation for the hearing, so apologies for not responding to comments. After the proceedings of today, if I am still a free man, I will take time and catch up with comments.
"The question I have is whether or not my subpoenaed third-party witnesses will show up."
I doubt you'll respond, but as you have been told, the purpose of this hearing is for you to show why you shouldn't be held in contempt of court for violating the 2013 court order/ permanent injunction.
You've already confessed that your are guilty of violating the court order. There's no reason for the court to allow your subpoenas.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Since I am posting this comment, you can correctly assume that I was not taken into custody. That was a minor, and possibly temporary victory, as the court will resume with the case, including closing arguments, tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. or shortly thereafter.
As was predicted by many commenters (and I knew to be a strong possibility) I was severely handicapped by a ruling against me with the judge granting the Motion in Limine by the plaintiffs. So it was difficult for me to even mention Daye's death without being in contempt at the contempt hearing. Naturally, I would have appreciated a little more flexibility, but that was not in the cards. Tomorrow morning the hearing will conclude with closing arguments.
So it was difficult for me to even mention Daye's death without being in contempt at the contempt hearing.
This hearing isn't about Daye's death. It's about your violation of the 2013 court order/permanent injunction. For those of you unfamiliar with a "motion to limine", it's a motion to ensure that only relevant evidence is presented at a trial or hearing.
Sid won't go to jail for contempt unless he shows his ass, but all of the pending lawsuits will be dismissed, and a gatekeeper order will be put in place on his, and Mangum's future filings to make sure he isn't participating.
@ Doogie 1-17-25 As you know Dr. Harr has been very busy. I have never been to North Carolina and the only person I know in North Carolina is Crystal other than virtually Dr. Harr and a few others on this blog . I 've been notified that my profiles are being searched by a NC Law Firm whoes name I will not reveal as I am considering asking my Lawyer to find out why this is and also I am receiving frequent posts from several North Carolina institutions such as the Governor Livingstone High School Alumni Association.
For those who didn't assume it by his lack of posts: Dr. Harr was found to be in willful criminal contempt of Court and sentenced to 30 days imprisonment at the Wake County jail for violating the Court's Preliminary Injunction Order. Separately, it should be noted that Crystal Mangum has been order to personally appear in Wake County Superior Court on Monday, January 27th to respond to a Motion to Dismiss her lawsuit against the judge in the N.C. Office of Administrative Hearings. Dr. Harr will not be permitted to attend the hearing or otherwise provide her with legal representation.
DA Deberry filed a motion for "extension of time to file answer" in Harr et al v. Deberry, which was granted. It looks like documents regarding Sid's Show Cause order were filed as exhibits as well.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Yesterday, Sunday, February 16, 2025, a little before noon, I was released from the Wake County Hoosegow after serving a thirty-day sentence imposed by Wake County Superior Court Judge Clayton D. Somers. Note that he also gave me the maximum fine of $500.00.
While incarcerated, I did receive on February 13th legal mail which included the State's Motion for Extended Time to File a Response which was filed on February 4th. You will notice that it took exactly two months for the Durham Sheriff's Department to serve the Summons and Complaint on D.A. Satana Deberry whose office is seven floors above in the same building. LINK to Motion with notations.
(NOTE: If anyone can provide me with a logical reason for the two-month delay in service of the Summons and Complaint on Deberry, he/she will be awarded $50.00.)
As many of you astute j4n commenters may be aware, the so-called "criminal contempt conviction for violation of a 2013 permanent injunction against unauthorized practice of law," was mainly a pretext upon which to incapacitate me by making me unavailable to be a witness at Ms. Mangum's Petition for Judicial Review hearing which was held in Wake County Superior Court on January 27, 2025.
Time permitting, I will discuss my jailhouse experiences later, but there is much I have to do to catch up for a month's inaction. Before I address other issues, I will respond to many of comments above made during my blog site absence.
The true relevance of the January 17, 2025 Harr et al v. Deberry Show Cause order by Judge Clayton D. Somers in Mangum's Petition for Judicial Review, is that it provides motive for the Wake County Superior Court to hold its January 27th hearing ten days later in which I would not be able to attend as a witness for Mangum. Make no mistake, the Show Cause Order was not about unauthorized practice, but rather a pretense upon which to prevent Mangum from prevailing in the petition for judicial review.
Hey, Anony. Wrong on the first count. I will say that someone showed his ass, but it wasn't me. Wrong on the second count as the Harr, Mangum v. Satana Deberry lawsuit in Federal Court is in full swing. And wrong on the final count as a gatekeeper order was placed on neither Ms. Mangum nor me.
Keep in mind that the purpose of the contempt charge with its 30-day sentence was a pretext to prevent me from being able to participate at the January 27th hearing as a witness for Ms. Mangum.
So, now it is time for me to start making lemonade.
Hey, Anony. I obviously was not prepared for the big day because when I left my apartment the morning of January 17th I left my apartment window open, no lights turned on, little food in Adonis Hercules' bowl, had not refreshened his water fountain, and not made preparations for his extended care.
Frankly, I was shocked to be sentenced to jail time... flabbergasted at the thirty-day sentence and maximum fine of $500. I shouldn't have been with my experience in this state's racist justice system. My bad.
Now I must collect the lemons handed down to me, grab some sugar, a pitcher of water, and get to work.
"...the so-called criminal contempt conviction for violation of a 2013 permanent injunction against unauthorized practice of law," was mainly a pretext upon which to incapacitate me by making me unavailable to be a witness at Ms. Mangum's Petition for Judicial Review hearing "
That's a rather ridiculous statement, as you have admitted on this blog that your actions were (and have been) in violation of the permanent injunction. it's not "so-called" when it's true.
With regards to the delay, DA Deberry can't explain why it took 2 months to serve her with the summons and complaint.
MOO, the sheriff's department prioritizes summons with domestic violence and child custody cases getting priority, and while YOU think this should've been done quicker, the sheriff's office gave it a much lower priority. If you didn't file so many frivolous lolsuits, this probably wouldn't be the case.
Why should you be shocked to be sentenced to jail time and a fine?
You were warned in 2013 that future violations would result in sanctions. You were warned again in Mangum v. Aurelius . Mangum v. Oxygen Media made it clear that your "...improper, unauthorized legal assistance to Mangum in this case in seeming violation of an injunction against doing so shows [your] deep-seated disrespect for the law and the judicial system."
Your actions have consequences and you are the only one responsible for your actions. Next time, prepare for those consequences before you act.
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.

HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
First, Adonis and I would like to wish commenters, visitors, and all of your families a fab year in 2025. May the new year find you all happy and in good health throughout '25.
This should be the year that Crystal Mangum is finally freed from prison, although the State is trying desperately to hold her until she serves her minimum sentence so she can then be released with the state, courts, and media refusing to revisit her post-release claims of injustice as being moot.
If I am allowed subpoenas, as are most defendants, then I am sure that I will prevail at the upcoming January 16, 2025 hearing. In the event the subpoenas are substantially delayed, I may seek to have an extension for the date of the hearing.
As you were.
Dr. Harr:
I believe that you misunderstand the scope of the January 16 hearing. The sole subject of the hearing is whether or not you violated the February 18, 2013 court order prohibiting you from providing legal assistance to Ms. Mangum. You readily concede that you provided legal assistance in violation of the order.
I do not believe that the hearing will allow you an opportunity to explain WHY you felt justified in violating the court order. Your requests to subpoena Dr. Pascarella and Dr. Zani will be rejected because they do not pertain to the issue to be addressed in the hearing. .
The legal assistance you have provided to Ms. Mangum over more than ten years provides significant support for the rationale for prohibiting non-lawyers from providing legal assistance.
Incredibly, you have ignored (and continue to ignore) the critical legal question raised in this case--the question of whether or not Ms. Mangum's legal liability for Mr. Daye's death was severed by an intervening cause. Even when the state has raised the issues in Welch in their filings, you consistently ignored this issue.
Dr. Nicholls and Dr. Roberts both reached the opinion that there was no intervening cause and therefore Ms. Mangum remained legally liable for Mr. Daye's death. That is the reason NC Prisoner Legal Services and the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission declined to take her case. The facts of Mr. Daye's medical treatment, including the esophageal intubation, could not overcome the expert opinions that there was no intervening cause.
Dr. Wecht's report reached a different conclusion; namely, that the onset of delirium tremens resulting from DUMC's errors in treating Mr. Daye's acute alcohol intoxication was an intervening cause that severed Ms. Mangum's legal liability for Mr. Daye's death. However, you misstate Dr. Wecht's conclusion, preferring to emphasize his conclusion that the death was the result of an accident. While that is true, Ms. Mangum would nevertheless remain legally liable if there had not been an intervening cause.
More importantly, you misstate the importance of Dr. Wecht's conclusion. DR. WECHT'S CONCLUSION IS AN OPINION. AN OPINION IS NOT EVIDENCE THAT EXONERATES MS. MANGUM. You recognized the limitations of an opinion when you dismissed AG Cooper's opinion that the lacrosse defendants were innocent of sexually assaulting Ms. Mangum. You cannot dismiss an opinion with which you disagree as irrelevant and maintain an opinion with which you agree is legally binding.
You should have used Dr. Wecht's report as an opportunity to reengage with counsel. You now had an expert opinion that there was an intervening cause that severed Ms. Mangum's legal liability. You should have relied on a legal expert to identify case law that addressed the legal questions: (1) does the onset of delirium tremens (or another preexisting condition) constitute an intervening cause and (2) on what basis can a subsequent opinion be used to challenge a conviction.
I suggested to kenhyderal more than four years ago that he use his research skills to address those questions. He did nothing.
Frankly, you should recognize that kenhyderal is a troll. Much like Break the Conspiracy several years ago, he pretends to support everything you have done. He makes no suggestions of how you could make your appeal more effective.
Kenny, since it was posted under the other post it will get missed, but how do you feel about Crystal being a proven liar? You keep talking about how honest she is, yet we know for a fact that she lied. It's unclear if she was lying about the original sexual assault, or if she is lying about the recantation, but it is clear she is lying.
Why should anyone trust anything she has to say now?
@ Marina 1-1-25 10:57==== No pretense on my part. I have absolutely no legal qualifications and I do not know how Dr. Harr could have been more effective. As has been shown, over and over, by Dr. Harr's efforts, something any objective person can clearly see, the fix is in by the NC Justice System and they use every means available to run-out the clock, hoping that their malfeasance, in denying Justice to an innocent person, will be forgotten once her sentence is over. I suspect that even if she had a Lawyer they woild have delivered the same decisions. A question I've asked you before. are you a Lawyer? Trolls abound here and are present in every thread.
"If I am allowed subpoenas, as are most defendants, then I am sure that I will prevail at the upcoming January 16, 2025 hearing."
How would any subpoena show that you are not practicing law without a license?
How would that show you are not acting in contempt of the 2013 court order?
I agree with Marina Lemmons that your motion will be rejected. It has nothing to do with the order to show cause.
kenhyderal:
Your January 1, 2025 at 3:41 PM comment on the prior thread confirms that you are one of those "making sport of a serious issue being discussed.” Thank you for your clarity.
Your January 1, 2025 at 3:50 PM comment on the prior thread is unclear. I do not see in his report where Dr. Wecht opined that anyone who disagreed with his conclusion (that the onset of delirium tremens was an intervening cause) could only be acting in bad faith. Can you point out the relevant language? Thanks.
Hey, Marina Lemmons.
Yes, I did technically violate the injunction, but the reason why I did is extremely important. The reason specifically being is that the State failed to provide Ms. Mangum with legal counsel to which she was entitled. The NC Prisoner Legal Services did nothing for her and then abandoned her as a client on January 17, 2017. The NC Innocence Inquiry Commission, another state agency, refused to take Mangum as a client with four different executive directors refusing to meet or communicate with me about Crystal's innocence. If the state would have effectively represented Ms. Mangum she would have been found not guilty or the conviction would have been vacated and I would never have gotten involved... ergo, it is the State's fault that I was forced to violate the injunction.
With regards to credibility, I would take what Dr. Wecht said over the opinions of Dr. Nichols, Dr. Roberts, and Dr. Aurelius. Besides being both a physician and attorney and having the respect of his peers around the world, Dr. Wecht's integrity is beyond reproach. Dr. Nichols, whose autopsy report you apparently believe to be accurate, committed material perjury, was fired from his job, was being considered for criminal investigation for his professional work in other cases, and was refused reinstatement after the criminal investigation was dropped, has Erdmann-esque level integrity, and like notorious Texas medical examiner Dr. Ralph Erdmann has a penchant for producing made-to-order autopsy reports to favor police and prosecutors at the expense of many innocents... mostly people of color.
The challenge I have for you, Ms. Lemmons, is to identify the "complication" from the stab wound that was responsible for Daye's death. No one else can.
Finally, I wish you and your family a fab 2025 and hope your year is full of happiness and good health.
Dr. Harr asks: "The challenge I have for you, Ms. Lemmons, is to identify the "complication" from the stab wound that was responsible for Daye's death. No one else can."
I did that on the earlier thread. You posted my explanation.
Dr. Harr -- The NCIIC cannot accept claims from a family member, friend, acquaintance, or neighbor. They tell you that on their website. The appropriate action was for you to provide their contact information to Ms. Mangum and have HER contact them.
Did you do that? Did she contact them?
Dr. Harr speculates:
"Dr. Nichols, whose autopsy report you apparently believe to be accurate,"
I have never stated that I believe the autopsy to be accurate. On what basis do you make this claim?
In this post, I am responding again to Dr. Harr’s challenge to identify the “complications from a stab wound to the chest” referred to by the state. I responded to his challenge earlier.
Crystal Mangum stabbed Reginald Daye on April 3, 2011. The stab wound was treated within hours of the incident. The initial postoperative prognosis was for a full recovery. However, Mr. Daye, a chronic alcoholic, suffered delirium tremens on the fourth day of his hospitalization. Medical staff, in treating this condition, errantly intubated him in his esophagus instead of his trachea. The lack of oxygen from the inerrant intubation resulted in a subsequent brain-death comatose state. Following ten days of observation without improvement, Mr. Daye was removed from life support and died within hours.
The state disagrees with Dr. Wecht and Dr. Harr as to the applicable law and has adopted the legal position that the onset of delirium tremens is not an intervening cause that severs Ms. Mangum’s liability for Mr. Daye’s death. In support of this legal position, the state cites cases including Welch and Holsclaw.
Under this legal position, all of the medical treatment received by Mr. Daye at DUMC is due to “complications from a stab wound to the chest.” The state does not disagree with Dr. Harr’s description of the steps included in the medical treatment and summarized in the second paragraph of this post.
Based on this interpretation of the applicable law, Ms. Mangum is responsible for Mr. Daye’s death.
Dr. Harr -- Perhaps you should add someone (or several people) as an admin in the case of your absence. I'm sure you have Kenhyderal's email address, so you can invite him. You have mine as well.
@ Marina 1-2-25 , 8:59 : You are playing semantics. Does anyone here really believe Dr. Wecht did not opine that Daye's chronic alcoholism and his impending D.T. s, as a result of the inadequate treastment of acute alcohol withdrawal, in an alcoholic patient. I suggest, both Welch and Holsclaw are imperfectly applied as suitable precidents for dismissing an interrvening cause in such a circumstance as Daye's accidental death. It was Dr. Wecht's opinion that his death was not a homicide . Crystal was convicted of murder because Nichols wrongly testified that he died as a direct complication of the stab wound, something easily provable to be false and not as a complication of his hospital admission for the wound treatment. In reality, it was a complication of the Hospital's actions , improperly treating his acute alcohol withdrawal. I feel confident any Judge , asked to rule on this, would concur with Dr. Wecht's opinion. As would any Jury presenterd with the facts, something that never happened in Crystal's trial, thanks to her inadequate, state appointed, legal representation. Please look again at Dr. Wecht's examples as to why your take and what you suggest is the position of the State is not medico-legally valid, especially when citing Welch and/or Holsclaw as a rationale.
kenhyderal:
Why are you wasting your time trying to persuade me? I do not control Ms. Mangum's fate.
You should be trying persuade the State of North Carolina. What are you doing to persuade them?
You should consider whether Dr. Harr's approach to this issue has been effective and whether it could be improved. As you know, he has limited his argument to a recitation of the treatment DUMC provided and Dr. Wecht's conclusion that the death was an accident. He has steadfastly avoided any discussion of Welch and other cases, even when the State has referenced it in its filings.
Do you think that it might be more effective to do what you are doing now? You are conceding that case law does exist, but arguing why it should not apply in this case. Dr. Harr has ignored case law altogether.
Why did you not suggest to Dr. Harr how his arguments might be improved? He could acknowledge the legal arguments that the State was making and then explain why the case law was improperly applied in this case.
Instead, you have encouraged him to rely exclusively on Dr. Wecht as his legal authority. Dr. Wecht is infallible. Any one who disagrees is acting in bad faith and is an asshole. Implying that your adversary is an asshole is not always the most effective form of persuasion.
Do you really believe Dr. Wecht is infallible and that his work should be accepted as true without discussion?
Kenny: How does the Brady rule affect the analysis in your post on January 3 at 9:47 AM?
Why are you refusing to comment on Crystal's lie? You claimed she is the most honest person you know, yet we now know she is a liar. She was either lying about the assault, or she's lying about the recantation, but we now know that despite your assertions, she can, and will, lie when it suits her. Why should we trust anything she says at this point?
Kenhyderal: "Nichols wrongly testified that he died as a direct complication of the stab wound"
I have not gone back to listen to his testimony, but I understood that Nichols testified that he died as a complication of the stab wound, not specifying whether it was "direct" as you allege or was indirect. The broad interpretation of Welch that the State appears to have adopted does not require that the complication be direct.
Is my understanding incorrect, or did you misstate Dr. Nichols' conclusion?
kenhyderal: "Please look again at Dr. Wecht's examples"
I found only one example in his report. He described a terminal cancer patient expected to die in the next week who was killed in an automobile accident on his way to the hospital for treatment. Are there others I missed?
I found this example to be extraordinary weak and not at all on point with the facts in this case.
I agree with your comments that the facts outlined in Welch are sufficiently different from the facts relating to Mr. Daye's death to raise valid questions about its applicability, but I find Dr. Wecht's example to be even further removed.
I assume that you were overly eager in your attempt to support Dr. Wecht's opinion and did not recognize the apparent hypocrisy in your conflicting reactions. Is that correct?
The commenter concludes that Crystal should have been found not guilty because the evidence did not prove her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
You can include this as proof of her exoneration in the next lawsuit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpeTr4AGzgM
Any legal argument presented in court must be based on established legal principles (i.e. existing case law). This is why Welch was so important to the Mangum prosecutors.
As it stands today, Mangum has neither corresponding case law to support her argument, nor does she have competent legal representation.
It's obvious that neither Dr. Harr or Kenhyderal can or will provide either.
dhall said "Any legal argument presented in court must be based on established legal principles (i.e. existing case law). "----- Or , in Crystal's case by a reasoned judicial rulling based on the unique circumstances of her case , established legal statutes defining immdiate legal cause of death, being a consequence of all factors leading up to it , in an unbroken sequance and of course by common sense. The question, is admission to hospital of an alcoholic at risk of alcohol withdrawal, in legal terms, a legal contributing cause. Once again, bear with me; my example, if a beligerrant alcoholic accosts me and I push him away, causing him to stumble, fall and fracture his ankle and who then, after having his ankle set in Hospital, suffers acute alcohol withdrawal and medical malpractice in the treatment of hs impending D.T. s kills him, am I guilty of murder?
@ Marina: Am I wrong ? For a Welch precident to come into play Daye would have to have been treated for a complication of the stab wound and/or it's tratment? Is a Hospital proscription of alcohol, in an alcoholic, a legal consequence that could directly lead up to a cause of death
If you were arrested, charged, put on trial, found guilty by a jury of your peers, and subsequent appeals were lost. Yes, you would be guilty.
Kenny: Does the Brady rule apply to the example in your post on January 4 at 3:27 PM?
What does your legal research tell you about whether you are wrong?
You did not respond to several questions I asked. Please do so.
Marina Lemmons --
Kenny's the guy that claimed Kilgo sent him money for CGM's bail via Western Union, with the "remitter on the W/U, as I recall, was "a" J.C. Kilgo".
He's also the guy that argued about lab tests results, when Mangum herself stated (in her book, no less) the lab tests in question never occurred.
Of course he's making sport of a serious issue being discussed. He's a troll -- regardless of his "registered blogger account".
Dr. Harr/Kenhyderal - I stand by my January 4, 2025 at 11:37 AM statement.
Kenhyderal, if the best you can do is provide a make-believe scenario to support your argument, you've lost the argument.
Unless and until either you or Dr. Harr actually do research and can provide case law that supports Crystal Mangum, any argument (even one that contains Dr. Wecht's "infallible" opinion") will fail.
FWIW, I tried to find case law supporting Mangum's position. I won't provide how I did this research, as that might be considered "acts or activities constituting the practice of law in North Carolina...", but it CAN EASILY be done.
That neither of you have bothered to do so is unfortunate for Crystal Mangum.
@ Anonymous posters 1-40-25 5:51 AM and 1-5-25 5:11 AM------ Not sure what the Brady Rule has to do with the posts you eferred to. Can you elaborate?
@ Marina 1-5-25 5: 11 AM My research tells me there is no exact legal precident that would apply to a case, where treatment of a hospialized individual with acute alcohol withdrawal is or is not being an intervening cause. Dr. Wecht's opinion, with all the weight that brings to the question, is that it would be. Sorry for not answering questions you posted. I may have lost track. Could you repost those questions?
@ Tyrone 1--5-25 8:53 Making sport of a serious issue? How so? If I recall you were here when Kilgo, a Crystal defender, was probably the most prolifiic poster here with a history of many hundreds of posts, almost daily, claiming he knew a person who witnessed the sexual assault of Crystal. Then he went to the trouble of deleting years of posts, at a time when they had to be done one at a time. He also changed his e-mail account and cancelled his google account. Scared off or bought off , I can only speculate. He did make a generous donation to Crystal's bail fund and when a bail-bondsman posted Crystal's bail as a gesture of goodwill, the funds raised, in trust, though a Raleigh Lawyer Mark Simeon, were refunded to the donors. In Kilgo's case he asked that the money go not to him but to Crystal.
I am calling on Dr. Harr to recognize the winner of his challenge to identify the complications from the stab wound to which Dr. Aurelius referred. An anonymous commenter provided the correct answer less than two hours after Dr. Harr announced the challenge.
I encourage the winner to donate the winnings towards the payment of any fine that Dr. Harr may be assessed in connection with his violation of the court order.
I offer my congratulations to the winner and encourage other posters to extend their congratulations as well.
The challenge:
Nifong Supporter
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
I will write a cashier's check in the amount of one hundred-fifty dollars ($150.00) and send it to any commenter who can explain, to my satisfaction, the specific complication(s) from the stab wound Reginald Daye sustained and/or its treatment that led to his death. The explanation must contain facts of the case.
Keep in mind that my assessment, buttressed with agreement by Dr. Cyril H. Wecht, is that no complication(s) resulted from the wound Ms. Mangum inflicted or its treatment. That it was the errant esophageal tube placement in treating Mr. Daye's delirium tremens which led to his brain-death/comatose state and subsequent removal from life-support and his actual death.
This contest is open to all individuals aged 18 and over.
As you were.

The winning answer:
Anonymous
Sidney, you keep asking "What complications?" From Dr. Aurelius's affidavit it is quite clear. Mr. Daye's complications were alcohol withdrawal caused by him having to be hospitalized because Mangum stabbed him. You may try to say this is a totally different problem not tied to the stab wound, but it is not. Dr. Wecht's analogy in his report, stated that someone with terminal cancer on the way to treatment dies in a car accident and thus the accident caused that person's death not the cancer. This analogy is quite weak in my opinion and does not relate to Mr. Daye's death in any way. Mr. Daye died because a chain of events happened to him after being stabbed and admitted to the hospital. I believe that if you would have just let the legal representation Mangum had after her trial continue, without your intervention, then she might be freed or at least a reduced sentence. You could have started your mucking around after all her legal attempts failed with a real lawyer. But Mangum and you for some reason did not let that happen and thus all is lost. But you got great satisfaction from filing many lawsuits that were destined to fail.
July 6, 2024 at 6:13 AM
Congratulations. Good, concise explanation.
I missed this answer. Sid musst of missed it as well, because he keeps asking the same question.
Look at the posts on this thread: all from January 4. Times are 4:26, 4:52, 8:53, 9:32.
kenny,
Please stop misspelling the word "precedent." Your consistent misspelling makes you look like an idiot.
Well done!
You can’t send money through W/U using an anonymous or fake name. You have to use a legal ID. So your claim about the remitter being “J.C. Kilgo” is false. Making a claim you know to be false regarding a serious issue is making sport of that issue.
The same is true of your claim about Mangum’s lab tests. You made a false claim without even bothering to check with the people ( your alleged “good friend”) involved.
Now you’re making claims about Kilgo with nothing to support them
You’re a troll.
kenhyderal:
The posters are just making fun of you. Your earlier discussion of the Brady rule was one of the most moronic legal discussions Most of us have ever seen.
kenhyderal:
I advise that you continue with your research. That answer will not result in Ms. Mangum's exoneration.
In light of your previous comments at this blog, are you sure you know what the Brady rule is?
kenhyderal:
Bravo! This is a fabulous post.
It is the perfect response to a poster claiming you are a troll (one who "makes sport of a serious issue being discussed"). You respond with inane blather about Kilgo. This post eliminates any uncertainty that you are a troll. Your answer would only have been clearer if you had responded "I, kenhyderal, am a troll. I am one of those making sport of a serious issue being discussed."
Congratulations on a well deserved win.
Sid,
Why have you not acknowledged and recognized the winner of your challenge? It has been six months. You aren't trying to weasel out of paying, are you?
My post at 4:03 was directed to kenhyderal.
Sid,
Why did you keep asking the question after it had been answered?
Interesting point regarding Western Union, Tyrone.
I recall winning the "lab test" bet from Kenhyderal, (oddly enough, Kenhyderal sent the money to Dr. Harr, rather than contacting me and getting my address).
IIRC, Dr. Harr did NOT show me anything from Western Union -- rather he showed me what I think was a deposit slip with his (Dr. Harr's) name on it.
I can only assume that Dr. Harr did not show me the Western Union payment because (if there was one), it would have contained Kenhderal's real name.
For anyone interested, I told Dr. Harr to place the money into Crystal Mangum's prison account (JPay? Something like that). I never received confirmation that the money was deposited for her, but I trust Dr. Harr.
Of course he is trying to weasel out of paying. He never had any intention of recognizing a winner because he is fundamentally dishonest.
From the commenter on July 6th:
"I believe that if you would have just let the legal representation Mangum had after her trial continue, without your intervention, then she might be freed or at least a reduced sentence."
That is my long-held belief as well. Dr. Harr is directly responsible for Crystal Mangum losing at least her first two lawyers.
One of them because he posted attorney-client privileged communications on this blog.
"Yes, I did technically violate the injunction, but the reason why I did is extremely important."
You should lead with this in your opening statement, and restate it in your closing statement.
I rarely bother to check in on this blog, as I've found there's nothing that I can contribute to discussions here any longer.
I feel I have to comment on the current situation, however.
I told Sidney at least 10 years ago that his actions opens him to counts of practicing law without a license. I also explained to him WHY he lost the original Feb 2013 hearing when the court entered that judgment and injunction.
To the purpose of my comment:
Sidney -- Show Cause hearings are very evidentiary based.
The plaintiff must be able to show the judge the ways in which the opposing party (that would be you) has not complied with the order currently in place (the permanent injunction enjoining you from activities constituting the practice of law in North Carolina).
The defendant (that would be you) must show the judge that the defendant has complied with the current order in place.
You've admitted here that you've knowingly violated the permanent injunction. All the plaintiff has to do is quote you.
I said in 2013 and I'll state it again. There's no reason to hear oral arguments on your behalf once you've admitted your guilt.
@Marina 1-5-25 4:30 PM --- Inane blather eh, indicating, to you, I am not a serious poster on this blog. Your opinion ! I hold no such opinion of you. I wonder what the blog's host Dr. Harr thinks? I opine, though, you are a contibutor who has adopted the Roger Stone stategy of debating issues.
To the winner:
Great answer to Sid. Congratulations on winning the contest.
Anonymous 4:03 and 4:38:

Look at the posts on this thread: all from January 4. Times are 4:26, 4:52, 8:53, 9:32.
kenhyderal:
Sorry. I did not see your question. No. I am not an attorney.
No. All the Jury ever heard was the unchallenged testimony that Daye died as a result of complications to the stab wound. Something the treating Physicians could easily attest to. B.T. W. it defies common sense to suggest Daye's chronic alcoholism was a complication of the stab wound . Her Court appointed Lawyers adamantly refuse to raise the issue of Daye's death being an accident due to probable medical malpractice. It took an investigation by Dr. Harr to bring that to light. The appointed Lawyers conducted no investigations. Thanks to Dr. Harr now everyone knows that Crystal did not murder Daye. Even you. Now they are relying on his hospital admission, which was for treatment of his wound, not for what really killed him, the poor treatment of his acute alcohol withdrawal, precipitated by Duke's failure to properly treat a chronic alcoholic deprived of his habituated dose.
I think that Marina Lemmons is a serious poster on this blog. At least those posts pertained to the topic at hand --until that discussion was derailed (in Roger Stone-like strategy).
I've taken you seriously, but I can definitely see why others don't.
I'm finding their arguments about you being a troll more and more compelling.
Going forward, I will attempt to keep my comments/questions relative to the blog topic at hand, or to responses to questions I've asked about the topic at hand. I will acknowledge and accept admonition when I do not.
I strongly suggest you do the same.
Thanks for the analysis, Lance.
I think we can agree that the latest motion by Dr. Harr actually reinforces the plaintiff's argument that he is violating the 2013 order/injunction. In this motion, he states he is seeking subpoenas from the 2 physicians in the Harr et al v. Deberry case.
My comment of 1-6-25 3:21 PM was directed at dhall's comments 1--6-25 7:41 AM
shall:
Dr. Harr can try to identify case law that supports his view that a person subject to a court order and injunction has right to make the unilateral decision that they are justified in violating that court order and injunction. I expect that to be a challenging search.
Kenhyderal - You're January 6, 2025 at 3:21 PM comment doesn't change my opinion.
It is my opinion that If Dr. Harr had not provided Crystal Mangum with unauthorized legal assistance (or posted attorney-client privileged information to this blog), both of them would be in a better place right now.
Dr. Harr would have never received the permanent injunction, and he would not be facing the upcoming Jan 16th hearing.
I won't get into details about how this would have helped Crystal Mangum (they've been explained elsewhere on this blog-- feel free to look them up), as that is not the topic of this particular blog entry.
@ dhall 1-7-25 7:05 It was Marina that called me a troll. Like you. I've always taken her posts seriously and I've replied to them in like manner. Suggesting I'm probably a troll because I reminded Tyrone, who, I believe, was here at the time, of the past history of the poster called "The Great Kilgo", who, believe it or not, was also a serious poster. Mostly, there was nothing inane about his participation, other than he did, often, resort to denouncing The Duke Lacrosse Players in crude terms. At the time of a fund raising effort for Crystal's bail he did communicate to me directly. Out of an abundance of caution, I no longer do that, since I saw evidence then indications that people ?? in North Carolina were trying to investigate me. This is why I now direct any personal contact, from poster here, through Dr. Harr.
Sid,
When will you honor the winner of your challenge?
Kenny:
Which people in North Carolina were trying to investigate you?
None of what you state here in any way pertains to this most recent blog topic.
The topic at hand being Dr. Harr's order to show cause hearing.
Kenny, Who was trying to investigate you? Was it Rae Evans?
@ dhall 1-8-25 1-8-25 6:42AM=== Only responding to Tyrone who raised the issue of Kilgo with Marina . He was here, at the time, Marina was not. Both Tyrone and Marina, like you, I take to be serious posters. Perhaps none of you believe the same of me. I don't believe our host Dr. Harr feels that way nor does Crystal.
I assume this is Kenhyderal -- I'll note that my response on January 8, 2025 at 6:42 AM was in regards to your post on January 7, 2025 at 2:12 PM, which starts "@ dhall 1-7-25 7:05".
If your response was to Tyrone, you should state as such.
@ Nifong Supporter ; Dr. Harr ? Did you receive my replies Jan 8th to Anonymous 5:17 AM and dhall 6:42 AM ? P.S the Anonymous relpy to dhall 1-9-25 8:13 AM is mine .
@ Anonymous 1-6-25 1:06 PM I see the Grammar Police remain ever-vigilant alertly watching for spelling mistakes. I'm confident Marina, though. understood my sentence despite the spelling error.
kenhyderal and Kenhyderal Lay Advocate:
Do you have any advice for Dr. Harr as he prepares for his hearing?
I wanna play this game --
Kenny -- How did "JC Kilgo" send you money via Western Union when you can't send money anonymously or with a fake name via Western Union?
What page(s) in "The Last Dance for Grace" states that CGM was EVER at Bremerton/Kitsap Naval Base?
Was CGM lying when she said "I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong, and I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who believed in me,"?
Answer the questions. Show us how "serious" you are.
No movement on Harr et al v. Deberry.
My assumption is that they're awaiting the outcome of this Show Cause hearing.
Perhaps Sid can enlighten us.
I doubt he'll find any instance where a defendant has proven they've complied with an existing court order in a Show of Cause hearing when they've admitted they are guilty of non-compliance.
Do we know if Sid has even gotten that lawsuit served? He's had issues with that in the past.
@ The Prince 1-10-25 6:50 AM #1 : ?-? Some sort of fake ID, perhaps. Who can say? The records are no longer available. #2 Let's have Dr. Harr consult with Crystal and report back to us. She did work at a snowboard factory in Bremerton. #3 Dr. Harr covered this completely in the previous thread. I refer you to that. Re: The serious nature of my psrticipation, see my response to Marina 1-5-25 where I suggested that Dr. Harr, our host, should be the judge of that
@ Nifong Supporter. Dr. Harr can you find my two missing posts?
Kenny;
Why won’t you tell us who was investigating you? Did you just make another one of your false BS statements?
Except we know you can’t use a fake ID to send money.
“Snowboard Factory”? The closest snowboard factory to Bremerton is over an hour away. Try again.
And you didn’t answer my question. Was she lying? It’s a simple yes or no question, it deserves a simple yes or no answer.
Kenny: Why are you ignoring the questions about the investigation?
There was a summons issued to Satana Deberry on the day Dr. Harr filed the lawsuit. From what I understand, Dr. Harr is responsible for ensuring the summons is delivered, and the defendant has 30 days to respond (NCGS 1A-1 Rule 4).
IF the summons was delivered by the sheriff's department or an authorized person, A "return of service" is filed by the court clerk.
IF Dr. Harr sent the summons via certified mail, He's supposed to prepare a notarized Affidavit of Service and file that with the county clerk.
I don't see any record of either being done here.
Borrowing a line from Anonymous @January 10, 2025 at 7:21 AM, "Perhaps Sid can enlighten us."
@ A Durham Man and @ Nifong Supporter: I did answer that ( it was basically a non-answer, though, with an explanation ) My answer was not posted. I've asked Dr. Harr twice if it and one other post, I sent to dhall , at the same time was lost or if they were withheld.
Why is he ignoring the question abut Crystal's lying?
Kenny is a troll. He won't respond to anything other than to lash out.
Kenhyderal -- For what it's worth, I've had several posts lost or withheld as well. The most recent being response to the questions regarding Harr et al v. Deberry.<
Who is the coward who posted anonymously on January 13 at 9:28 AM and refuses to use a blogger account?
For an organization proclaiming "Justice4Nifong", I am surprised and disappointed that no one has brought up the fact that Mangum's lies regarding the Duke LAX 3 were directly responsible for Mike Nifong's disbarment.
Where's the justice in that?
@ Doogie : A sarcastic man is a wounded man. Yes, as you correctly and sarcastly guessed that post was mine . Becaused I've frequently railed against those who anonymously post, one of them ?? has managed to hack my google account and although I have been careful to use the drop-down under "Comment as" and select Google Account my posts often show up as "Anonymous" .
Meanwhile, Kenny, we are waiting to hear the story about who investigated you.
@January 14, 2025 at 2:49 PM --
"... Becaused I've frequently railed against those who anonymously post, one of them ?? has managed to hack my google account". Nobody here cares enough about you to bother hacking your google account. Besides, Google has tools for managing a hacked google accounts.
If your account was hacked, you could've cleaned that up quicker than it took you to write your response to Doogie.
So don't point your finger at anyone here for being sarcastic. Sarcasm IS the body's natural defense against stupidity.
Sid, are you ready for the big day tomorrow?
Sid,
Here is my advice to you for the hearing tomorrow:
Do the Dew.
@ Doogie 1--15-25 5:29 AM==== See my reply, labled "Anonymous" 1-13-25 9:28 AM and . not responded to.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
As you are aware, the big day is here, and I feel relatively prepared. The question I have is whether or not my subpoenaed third-party witnesses will show up. Anyway, I have been busy for the past week in intense preparation for the hearing, so apologies for not responding to comments. After the proceedings of today, if I am still a free man, I will take time and catch up with comments.
Wish me luck.
As you were.
"The question I have is whether or not my subpoenaed third-party witnesses will show up."
I doubt you'll respond, but as you have been told, the purpose of this hearing is for you to show why you shouldn't be held in contempt of court for violating the 2013 court order/ permanent injunction.
You've already confessed that your are guilty of violating the court order. There's no reason for the court to allow your subpoenas.
I imagine Sid's hearing is over by now. It shouldn't have taken long, since he's admitted his guilt.
As has been repeatedly explained to you, even if they show up, they will not be allowed to speak. That is not a defense to what you are charged with.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Since I am posting this comment, you can correctly assume that I was not taken into custody. That was a minor, and possibly temporary victory, as the court will resume with the case, including closing arguments, tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. or shortly thereafter.
As was predicted by many commenters (and I knew to be a strong possibility) I was severely handicapped by a ruling against me with the judge granting the Motion in Limine by the plaintiffs. So it was difficult for me to even mention Daye's death without being in contempt at the contempt hearing. Naturally, I would have appreciated a little more flexibility, but that was not in the cards. Tomorrow morning the hearing will conclude with closing arguments.
As you were.
Kenny:
All you have done is blame Sid for your failure to answer the question.
So it was difficult for me to even mention Daye's death without being in contempt at the contempt hearing.
This hearing isn't about Daye's death. It's about your violation of the 2013 court order/permanent injunction.
For those of you unfamiliar with a "motion to limine", it's a motion to ensure that only relevant evidence is presented at a trial or hearing.
Sid won't go to jail for contempt unless he shows his ass, but all of the pending lawsuits will be dismissed, and a gatekeeper order will be put in place on his, and Mangum's future filings to make sure he isn't participating.
For those wondering (and it will be a while to get this update) - Sid was sentenced to 30 days in custody for contempt.

Sid,
Will you be spending time in the big house?
@ Doogie 1-17-25 As you know Dr. Harr has been very busy. I have never been to North Carolina and the only person I know in North Carolina is Crystal other than virtually Dr. Harr and a few others on this blog . I 've been notified that my profiles are being searched by a NC Law Firm whoes name I will not reveal as I am considering asking my Lawyer to find out why this is and also I am receiving frequent posts from several North Carolina institutions such as the Governor Livingstone High School Alumni Association.
http://www.recentlybooked.com/NC/Wake/SIDNEY-HARR~206_SH76MB01172025#google_vignette
Sidney will be released on February 16. He was sentenced to one month in the Wake County Detention Center.
https://wakeso.policetocitizen.com/inmates/catalog
Doesn't look like Sid is approving comments. Did he end up going to jail?
Not sure if this is real or not:
https://www.recentlybooked.com/NC/Wake/SIDNEY-HARR~206_SH76MB01172025
For those who didn't assume it by his lack of posts: Dr. Harr was found to be in willful criminal contempt of Court and sentenced to 30 days imprisonment at the Wake County jail for violating the Court's Preliminary Injunction Order. Separately, it should be noted that Crystal Mangum has been order to personally appear in Wake County Superior Court on Monday, January 27th to respond to a Motion to Dismiss her lawsuit against the judge in the N.C. Office of Administrative Hearings. Dr. Harr will not be permitted to attend the hearing or otherwise provide her with legal representation.
Has Dr. Harr published anything since January 16? Or is he in custody?
DA Deberry filed a motion for "extension of time to file answer" in Harr et al v. Deberry, which was granted.
It looks like documents regarding Sid's Show Cause order were filed as exhibits as well.
HEY, EVERYBODY... LISTEN UP!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!
Yesterday, Sunday, February 16, 2025, a little before noon, I was released from the Wake County Hoosegow after serving a thirty-day sentence imposed by Wake County Superior Court Judge Clayton D. Somers. Note that he also gave me the maximum fine of $500.00.
While incarcerated, I did receive on February 13th legal mail which included the State's Motion for Extended Time to File a Response which was filed on February 4th. You will notice that it took exactly two months for the Durham Sheriff's Department to serve the Summons and Complaint on D.A. Satana Deberry whose office is seven floors above in the same building.
LINK to Motion with notations.
(NOTE: If anyone can provide me with a logical reason for the two-month delay in service of the Summons and Complaint on Deberry, he/she will be awarded $50.00.)
As many of you astute j4n commenters may be aware, the so-called "criminal contempt conviction for violation of a 2013 permanent injunction against unauthorized practice of law," was mainly a pretext upon which to incapacitate me by making me unavailable to be a witness at Ms. Mangum's Petition for Judicial Review hearing which was held in Wake County Superior Court on January 27, 2025.
Time permitting, I will discuss my jailhouse experiences later, but there is much I have to do to catch up for a month's inaction. Before I address other issues, I will respond to many of comments above made during my blog site absence.
Have a fab President's Day.
As you were.
Hey, Anony.
The true relevance of the January 17, 2025 Harr et al v. Deberry Show Cause order by Judge Clayton D. Somers in Mangum's Petition for Judicial Review, is that it provides motive for the Wake County Superior Court to hold its January 27th hearing ten days later in which I would not be able to attend as a witness for Mangum. Make no mistake, the Show Cause Order was not about unauthorized practice, but rather a pretense upon which to prevent Mangum from prevailing in the petition for judicial review.
Hey, Dr. Caligari.
Obviously, I was in the Wake County Hoosegow. Quite an experience! Will be in the process of making lemonade soon.
Hey, Anony.
Sadly, it is true. My 30-day sentence ended yesterday.
Yup!
Hey, Anony.
Wrong on the first count. I will say that someone showed his ass, but it wasn't me.
Wrong on the second count as the Harr, Mangum v. Satana Deberry lawsuit in Federal Court is in full swing.
And wrong on the final count as a gatekeeper order was placed on neither Ms. Mangum nor me.
Keep in mind that the purpose of the contempt charge with its 30-day sentence was a pretext to prevent me from being able to participate at the January 27th hearing as a witness for Ms. Mangum.
So, now it is time for me to start making lemonade.
Hey, Anony.
I obviously was not prepared for the big day because when I left my apartment the morning of January 17th I left my apartment window open, no lights turned on, little food in Adonis Hercules' bowl, had not refreshened his water fountain, and not made preparations for his extended care.
Frankly, I was shocked to be sentenced to jail time... flabbergasted at the thirty-day sentence and maximum fine of $500. I shouldn't have been with my experience in this state's racist justice system. My bad.
Now I must collect the lemons handed down to me, grab some sugar, a pitcher of water, and get to work.
No comprende.
"...the so-called criminal contempt conviction for violation of a 2013 permanent injunction against unauthorized practice of law," was mainly a pretext upon which to incapacitate me by making me unavailable to be a witness at Ms. Mangum's Petition for Judicial Review hearing "
That's a rather ridiculous statement, as you have admitted on this blog that your actions were (and have been) in violation of the permanent injunction. it's not "so-called" when it's true.
With regards to the delay, DA Deberry can't explain why it took 2 months to serve her with the summons and complaint.
MOO, the sheriff's department prioritizes summons with domestic violence and child custody cases getting priority, and while YOU think this should've been done quicker, the sheriff's office gave it a much lower priority.
If you didn't file so many frivolous lolsuits, this probably wouldn't be the case.
Why should you be shocked to be sentenced to jail time and a fine?
You were warned in 2013 that future violations would result in sanctions. You were warned again in Mangum v. Aurelius .
Mangum v. Oxygen Media made it clear that your "...improper, unauthorized legal assistance to Mangum in this case in seeming violation of an injunction against doing so shows [your] deep-seated disrespect for the law and the judicial system."
Your actions have consequences and you are the only one responsible for your actions. Next time, prepare for those consequences before you act.
