Megan Kendall says defenses sources are saying that CGM had sex with the driver the night of the alledged rape.
She also said that the prosecuter claims to have "good news" for their case. We have heard that before.
If anyone gets additional information on this, please provide links.
Thanks
Front page of tody's Herald Sun has a picture of a Durham drug kingpin - Anthony Wayne Mangum. Any relation?

I think this article is telling us something.
Maggief posted this article and it doesn't look right to me:
http://www.herald-sun.com/durham/4-741267.html
If you look at the article, what spawned it? What was the impetus? Nothing has happened for almost 3 months. So, he doesn't show up in court 3 months ago and they printing an article on Monday, June 5th?
I am going to guess this guy is a fairly close to relative of Crystal Mangum.
I think this is a preemptive move to evade future criticism of the reporting in the case.
The reporter, BriAnne Dopart, covered this Alleged Rape from early on - and way back in March she was on the AbramsReport to discuss this very (Duke) case.
The Crimestoppers involvment. Aren't the Crimestoppers (Durham Police) under fire for their Published poster of all the lacrosse players? Did they evaluate potential liabilities and criticisms that they will be open to when the Lacrosse Poster case has it's day in court? Including examinations of their fairness and motives.
The story originated with the Durham PD or DA - we know that. Hasn't the Durham PD and DA just come under fire when the National Press picked up the story of the 4 men executed in Durham and no DNA or other testing has been done in that case? Hasn't the Family of the victim in that case just taken to the airwaves to bring attention to that story?
Is this an attempt to avert the same type of criticism that would face them (and worse) if this is Crystal's brother?
Durham is slammed with Crime and people fail to appear in court for serious crimes 50 times a week. Why print info on this case that has been dead for 3 months?
Excellent catch. The DBM is in CYA mode, I suspect...
A boyfriend drove her home that is based on what her Father said. We don't know which Boyfriend.
We've heard that she had sex with 2 drivers and one boyfriend preceeding the Duke Party. Is Taylor a boyfriend? or Driver?
This guy (Taylor), in my opinion, will be a weak attempt at moving the Timeline earlier. Chances are the guy has had interaction with the Police in his past. It would take next to nothing, I'm speculating, for the Police to nudge Taylor's testimony into a favorable range for them. No sweat off his back and he wants to keep the Cops happy - doesn't he?
Taylor has said that Crystal modeled see-through outfits for him and showered at his house. He also said that he had traveled, as far as Smithfield (1 hour or more), to see her dance in the past. I think it's going to be somewhat unbelievable for him to say it was just those two at his place and see was showering and then modeling see-through lingerie and she was asking him for a favor (driving and picking up) BUT they didn't have sex.
The question of whether they were drinking or getting high was also strangely avoided. You have to wonder why?
This guy is not independent - he's involved with one side, so it's going to be real hard for him to change the timeline.
You may be on to something.
Here is his rap sheet:

Enter: 0254749
(Check all boxes)
The best reason I've found for the accuser's 2002 deal was that she informed on someone worse in exchange for leniency. She could have gotten that kind of info from Anthony Wayne Mangum, if he is a close relative and he wanted to eliminate a drug dealer competitor.
I have also been puzzled by the driver/pimp/"boyfriend" granting an interview given the length of his rap sheet. One would think he'd be either keeping a very low profile or selling details to some tabloid.
I suspect he's cooperating with the DA, who is possibly holding charges/probation violations over his head.
I suspect he's not only cooperating, he's making sure that Crystal doesn't say that HE was the one who really raped and beat her. He's just protecting his interests.
Prostitutes get off the "hook" off the time but the cops know who they are. They want real cases to work on....drugs and murder.
How is Nifong going to get around the huge time difference between Dad & Brian's accounts?
But Nifong said he hasn't accused anyone of anything, noting he has said he wouldn't make any arrests unless DNA tests turned up conclusive evidence.
"I've told everybody who has asked me that I do believe a sexual assault occurred," he said. "I haven't pointed a finger at anybody. It is possible -- I don't expect this -- it's possible that the DNA could come back, and we would see that it was someone who didn't match the profile of the lacrosse players."
A Nifong quote I hadn't seen before. It's kind of stunning that he said this at the end of March, knowing what we know now.

It could also be pressure on Crystal. Maybe she is thinking of backing out of the case and Nifong is threatening to go after her relative. The article demonstrates to Crystal the power of the DA's office to leak stories - about her relative and more importantly, about HER.
I think at this point CGM would like to click her heels together three times and wake up in Kansas.
To be precise, I think CGM did only one actual interview, early on, with the Raleigh News and Observer which kept her identity secret. Since that time she's had relatives make statements on her behalf. Are you mixing up CGM with Kim Roberts who has been running her mouth in public.
No, I am talking about CGM's N&O interview.
She has also spoken publicly through her parents in several interviews.
To claim that CGM has said nothing in public is well short of the truth, imo.
Good catch! My game boy might be appropriate.
I think you're right....but she lost a shoe and nothing clicks in this case!!
I wonder why the robbery claim evaporated?
They made a big deal out of the rich Duke boys stealing the poor girl's "tuition" money early on.
So what happened?
