Antonio Quentel Glover: An Innocent Man

"The lop-sided police investigation, based solely on a single ... victim's statements and without any input from the defendant and other likely eyewitnesses and character witnesses, was evidently all that was required by the Wake County District Attorney's Office to arrest and prosecute a ... man on such serious charges in a flimsy and incomplete case without any physical evidence or credible witnesses in its support."

I do not understand your complaint. You supported precisely this type of investigation, arrest and prosecution in the Duke lacrosse case.

So....
Many weaknesses against the defendant.
Principle witness lack of credibility.
Failure of prosecution to interview eye witnesses and character witnesses.
Problematic collection of forensic evidence.
Verifiable false testimony by principle witness.
Tepid conclusion by Duke Medical Center.
DA's office confronted with a weak case.
Investigation was one-sided and markedly incomplete.

This all sounds familiar.
Which begs the question -- Why are you supporting the defendant and not the accuser? That seems oddly against your past behavior.

Sid,

Did you meet anyone at Wake Detention Center who admitted he was guilty?

Hey, Anony.

WRONG-O!! I never made such comments about the Duke Lacrosse case. My focus has always been on the Daye death case.

With regards to the Duke Lacrosse case I was critical of the SBI's late-March 2007 interview of the victim/accuser Mangum not being audio/video/ transcribed or otherwise recorded in that case. With consistency, I am critical of the prosecution not having a transcribed recording of the so-called victim/accuser's interview in Antonio Glover's case.

More importantly, I believe the alleged suspect should be interviewed by the prosecutor before making an arrest in Glover's case, especially when the alleged incident occurred nine years previously and without the benefit of physical or forensic evidence.

Hope this provides clarification.

Hey, Anony.

With the Duke Lacrosse case, I made no determinations other than to say that I believed (and still do) Ms. Mangum's sexual assault accusations. I never had access to prosecution discovery in that case, and did not advocate regarding it. In Mangum's murder case involving Daye, I had prosecution discovery. Likewise, in Mr. Glover's case, I saw the prosecution discovery in his case which consisted of three documents mentioned... a 12-page report by Duke CANMEC, a nine-page report from the Wake Forest Police Department, and a 37 Social Worker Log.

I am in position to defend Antonio Glover because I had plenty of time to discuss his case during my 30-day stay in the Wake County hoosegow and because I saw the extent of prosecution discovery... which was lacking.

I am able to defend Crystal Mangum in her murder case because I have had time to discuss her and have access to prosecution discovery.

I have no discovery regarding the Duke Lacrosse case and have rarely broached the subject with her as it was irrelevant (except as a motive) and giving attention to it would be a distraction from the more serious murder case. Subsequently I never advocated regarding it, a case in which Mangum was only a witness and not a party.

Hope this provides edification.

Hey, Anony.

Thanks for your concern about Adonis Hercules Harr.

I didn't anticipate being arrested, and after Judge Clayton D. Somers sentenced me to thirty days I asked to be allowed to return home to take care of my cat. He turned and ignored me and left the courtroom as the bailiffs handcuffed my hands behind my back and led me out of the courtroom and to the Wake County Detention Center.

I had left my window open and no lights were on. A little food was in the bowl and I didn't know whether enough water was in the fountain to circulate for any length of time. I had only spent one night away from my cat since first receiving him years ago, and I was worried about his emotional health.

I was terribly distraught for three and a half days until I was able to assure that he had then been picked up by a friend who would care for him. I was told that he cried every night and prowled around the house shortly after midnight.

Although he cried nightly, he seemed to adjust well to his new temporary surroundings and when I was reunited with him hours after my release, he seemed to take some time before he finally recognized me... so I left him there for two days before I picked him up. He is now his same old self, I'm happy to say.

Again, thanks for concern for my dear, sweet Siamese.

Hey, Anony.

Heck yeah. The majority of inmates had no problem admitting to crimes, though a large portion were for parole violations, and one was for simple drug possession for a small amount of marijuana. However, there were a handful of inmates of the fifty-plus who I am convinced were innocent... such as Antonio Glover.

I tried finding any information regarding Mr. Glover and his arrest. There's really nothing of note out there.

Dr. Harr has a tendency to start with his conclusion ("xxxx is innocent") and work backward to find only the details that support his conclusion, while ignoring details that don't. That's fine -- it's his blog. This approach does make any support he attempts to provide (see his attempts for Mike Nifong, child murderer Shan Carter, and Tracey Kline) questionable at best.

It's unfortunate that North Carolina no longer no longer has a "speedy trial" statute. There are inmates in Wake County's jail system awaiting trial, some for three or four years (per Dail Butler, Wake County detention director.).

The people of North Carolina need to work with the state legislature to introduce a bill that includes specific time limits for trials.

You should start with contacting your state representative (If you're unsure who that is, check here https://www.ncleg.gov ).

Don't bother contacting The NC Attorney General or the Wake County DA. Neither of them can change existing law -- it's their job to interpret it.

2 motions filed by DA Deberry in Harr et al v. Deberry. A motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim and a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.

What was the result of the Jan 27th hearing in Mangum v. Nelson?

Nifong Supporter said...


Hey, dhall.

Thanks for your public service announcement. I have no objection to contacting congresspersons, though I believe they lack courage to address the problem that allows detention centers to reap in fees for holding in confinement the poor, people of color, and unprivileged on charges who are unable to pay excessive bail.

I believe the value of contacting the attorneys general and district attorneys would be most valuable in advocating for individual incarcerated inmates, such as Mr. Glover.

Nifong Supporter said...

Hey, Anony.

Thanks for the notification. I wasn't aware of the filing of the motions that I have yet to see, but as I recall, today was the latest extended date granted by the judge.

Posting Deberry's motions is not a priority. Responding to the motions is first on my agenda with regards to priority.

dhall said...

I have to disagree with you here, Dr. Harr. Until North Carolina has a "speedy trial" statute contacting the AG/DAs serves no purpose. Without that statute, any advocacy brought to the AG/DA on this matter will fail. There's simply nothing to measure their actions against and state with certainty "this is wrong".

If you believe the legislators representing you "lack courage to address the problem..", then support the candidate who does not.

dhall said...

Just a quick note -- DA Deberry's motions (including a motion regarding Dr. Harr's petition for a pretrial conference) were filed early yesterday afternoon (2/24/2025).

The motion to dismiss was granted, and Harr filed a request for the audio transcript of the hearing, but has not yet filed an appeal.

Sid's petition for pretrial conference in Harr et al v. Deberry has been denied. I would really love to read Sid's motions and the defendant's responses.

Nifong Supporter said...


Hey, Anony.

The result is what would be expected without my participation. It was denied by Hon. Judge Matthew Houston.

As I stated previously, the main reason for my incarceration on the bogus criminal contempt of court "conviction" was to keep me from testifying as a witness. That makes a total of three in-person court appearances by Crystal Mangum in which I was unable to testify. A Durham judge deferred to the NC assistant A.G. and Durham city attorney who vociferously objected, a Wake judge heard the defendant WRAL-5's presentation and ruled to grant motion to dismiss without allowing Mangum to present her case, and now, during the January 27th hearing, I was in the middle of serving a 30-day jail sentence and was ergo unavailable to testify.

Hey, Anony.

I have reason to question its veracity. Keep in mind I have visited her weekly for the past dozen-plus years, spoke with her by phone multiple times weekly, and communicated by postal. I am not going into detail regarding my beliefs on this matter as it is inconsequential regarding my telos... which is to free her and obtain a vacated murder conviction.

As of now, Mr. Glover is what could be considered my only "client" from the Wake County hoosegow.

"..a Wake judge heard the defendant WRAL-5's presentation and ruled to grant motion to dismiss without allowing Mangum to present her case.."

Pretty sure WRAL wasn't a defendant in Mangum v. Nelson. I don't see WRAL listed as a party to this case.

Or are you stating that the judge heard the testimony from an earlier case?

Thanks for the notification. I have not yet received the order regarding the pretrial conference denial. Will look for it.

Hey, Anony.

You missed the premise of the statement. My contention is that Ms. Mangum has had a total of three in-person hearings, including the January 27, 2025. Although I was present at the first two, I did not get the opportunity to testify on Mangum's behalf because in the first malicious prosecution case the Governor Cooper-appointed judge deferred to the attorneys for the State defendants who vociferously objected to me testifying, and in the second defamation case against WRAL-5 News, the Governor Cooper-appointed judge heard the defendant's case first, then ruled to grant its motion to dismiss without allowing Mangum to present her case... thereby denying me the opportunity to testify on Mangum's behalf.

In the January 27, 2025 Petition for Judicial Review case, I was in the middle of a thirty-day jail sentence on a contempt of court conviction by a MAGA judge. Clearly, WRAL-5 News was not a party in the case.

Do yourself and Mr. Glover a favor and dont get involved in his case. It's none of your business. It's not your problem. You have no idea what happened, who did what to whom and whether he is guilty or not. Importantly, you don't know what you are doing. There is absolutely nothing you can do to help him and many things you can do to hurt him. And you may very well get yourself in trouble again.

These are things you should know by now.

So, you are publicly calling your fiance a liar - and now anything she may have hoped to gain from the recantation is lost because the person who supposedly knows her best and cares about her most says she is not sincere, so why would anyone else believe her? You really are her worst enemy.

I did miss the premise. But let's look at the cases you mentioned.

#1 Malicious Prosecution...If this is Mangum v. Bond, you shouldn't have been allowed to testify. First, the case was brought after the statute of limitations had expired. Second, you weren't a witness to the events that brought about the case.
#2 WRAL Defamation Case -- Again, statute of limitations had expired, and the subsequent appeal was dismissed due to Mangum's failure to follow the North Carolina Rules of Appellate Procedure.
#3 Petition for Judicial Review. You weren't a party to the original NCDHHS case that kicked off this petition (you were removed as a co-petitioner).

And, he continues to show he has learned nothing - character evidence is inadmissible in criminal trial (yes, here comes Kenny to scream how unfair that is). All we know from what Sid says is a young girl claims that she was sexually assaulted by Mr. Glover, and the State is prosecuting. We don't have other evidence, but it seems odd that Sid is so convinced she is lying, when he's so convinced Crystal was not.

Hey, Anony.

Regarding #1: It was incompetence by Mangum's appellate defense attorneys that allowed the three-year statute of limitations to expire... definitely not the fault of Ms. Mangum. Also, this complaint was a pro se filing by Mangum. I only assisted in drafting and filing it.
Regarding #2: This lawsuit could have been avoided had WRAL-5 News merely made the correction. It had plenty of time to do so, but rather decided to continue (to this day) mislead its audience. Do you consider that to be responsible journalism?
Regarding #3: I was party to the initial petition in which I was guaranteed a position in the April 10, 2023 letter addressed to me by NC Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Michelle Aurelius.
Letter/report from Dr. Aurelius to Dr. Harr - April 10, 2023

For Dr. Aurelius to then, through her assistant attorney general counsel, have me removed from the petition is deceitful and nefarious. Total lack of integrity.

Consider yourself to be edificationed.

Hey, Abe.

Why should I not get involved in a case in which there is likely grievous injustice? It may not directly be my problem, but being a humane concerned citizen, is it not my responsibility to confront injustice where I find it rather than remain silent? Fact is, I had plenty of time to find out what happened as Mr. Glover and I spoke frequently during my 30-day stay in the Wake County hoosegow, and I saw what was the so-called prosecution discovery... which was woefully inadequate. By doing nothing, there is no way that I can help Mr. Glover. I believe by presenting the injustices of his case on my blog site there is a distinct possibility of rectifying the injustice. Besides, what can I do to injure him more than what has been done by the Wake County District Attorney's Office?

Is it possible I may get in trouble for trying to help someone I believe to be innocent? Of course, but I am willing to risk it unlike the gutless legislators, politicians, government officials, media-types, and others.

#1 -- Nope. The appellate attorney's responsibility was to appeal the murder conviction, not to file a completely different civil case. Regardless, you shouldn't have been allowed to testify.
#2 -- Yes. The article when written was accurate for the information available at that time.
#3 -- Your name was on the initial petition, but you failed to meet the requirements for an "aggrieved person", because the lawsuit didn't affect you in any way. You should have been removed.

Just as long as Sid doesn’t:

1) try creating and/or filing any legal documents for Mr. Glover.
2) encourage my Glover to share client/attorney privileged information with him.
3) attempt to communicate with Mr. Glover’s lawyer without Mr. Glover’s knowledge and consent.
4) attempt to contact or influence the prosecutors OR the court about this case.
He should feel free to advocate for Mr. Glover. Knock yourself out, Sid. You have such a huge readership here (and on Facebook), that you are sure to see immediate results.
Just look at what your advocacy did for Shan (the child murderer) Carter.

In Harr et al v. Deberry , CGM sent a Letter requesting the clerk to serve 5 subpoenas. There were apparently no proposed subpoenas in the letter.

My assumption is that nothing will be done regarding this letter, as the request doesn't comply with current subpoena request rules.

Nifong Supporter said...

Hey, Anony.

Thanks for notification that Ms. Mangum's letter reached the Federal Courthouse Clerk's Office.

Let me explain the backstory so you can understand what has transpired and what is supposed to transpire.

Many months ago, I (a non-lawyer pro se citizen) presented a filled out subpoena to the Clerk's Office seeking a signature from an officer of the court to validate it so that it could be served. I was told that I could not have a subpoena because discovery could not begin without first having a Rule 26(f) conference with opposing counsel. After conducting some further research, I learned that the Rule 26( f ) was not required for a pro se litigant who was an inmate. So, I filled out another subpoena and listed Ms. Mangum's name, instead of mine, as the person seeking the subpoena... the form requiring no signature. When I presented the subpoena seeking a signature, the clerk of court stated that he could not comply without first having a written request from the inmate. That even though she was my co-plaintiff, he could not issue a signed subpoena to me. (I saw nothing in the rules about a required request from a pro se inmate.) So I relayed that info to Ms. Mangum.

The process going forward, as I understand, is that the clerk's office will send blank subpoena forms to Ms. Mangum. Upon receipt, Ms. Mangum will fill out the subpoena and send them back to the clerk's office. The clerk's office will then apply a signature to validate the subpoena and send it back to Ms. Mangum. Ms. Mangum, in custody and unable to serve the subpoenas, will mail them to me, and then I will have them served on the subpoenees.

As customary, delay is the nature of the game.

Hope this provides some elucidation.

An interesting story from CNN regarding CGM's recent recantation of her rape testimony here:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/14/us/crystal-mangum-duke-lacrosse-allegations/index.html

It has some implications with the current blog entry at the end of the report in the section "The danger of false rape allegations for actual victims".

Some key takeaways from that portion of the article

1) An estimated 63 percent of sexual assaults are never reported to the police, according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center.

2) A study published by Violence Against Women in 2010 found that false sexual assault reports range from between 2 to 10 percent.

While Sid insists on referring to Mr. Glover as innocent, and the 14 year old as the "victim" (his scare quotes, not mine), the Violence Against Women study indicates that the likelihood of the accusation being true is somewhere between 90-98%.
