....which brings up another point. Kim may not have associated Mangum's statement with an idea of her actually wanting the bruises, but now she's spinning it. At the time, Kim may have associated it with something she was doing to Mangum, such as taking her money and/or trying to dump her out of the car. So now she brings it up as though it was said in context of a plan by Mangum to cry rape and her statement that it chilled her to the bone and she intended to tell the authorities about it is embellishment that serves two purposes: 1). It associates the statement to a plan regarding the rape instead of to her own behavior toward Mangum (trying to dump her after possibly taking her money); and 2). Provides a means by which, because of 1)., she can insinuate her importance to the story even further while simultanously humanizing herself (chilled to the bone.tell authorities).

It may be true that Mangum said this, but I seriously doubt she said it in connection with an intention to cry rape or that Kim right then and there decided to tell authorities about it, and I certainly don't believe she was "chilled to the bone" unless it was in fear of Mangum's pimp.

Right, but it is a common term used in the hood, to let someone know you are going to press charges of assault. So to me if this was said, it was to let Kim know, Mangum would have her arrested for assault. Nothing to do with the Duke guys, at that time. Now Kim is telling it as if it is premeditated to assert the rape claim.

Did I make sense? LOL
