Yes, it makes sense. And I think that's how Mangum meant it - as a threat to Kim. Kim is now reporting the remark but she did not say in the interview what she thought Mangum meant by it. People are construing it as Mangum asking to be marked up so she could blame the boys, but that's on the viewer/listener. I watched the interview late this afternoon, and Kim said that Mangum was talking crazy and made the statement in the course of crazy talk, and after Mangum said that she wanted to get her out of the car with police help because the remark "chilled her to the bone."
Devon Sherwood is scheduled for interview Tuesday a.m. on Good Morning America.
"The fact is, I didn't pick the crime. I didn't pick the time," Nifong said at the forum. "But I'm going to do the case right."
The family of Devon Sherwood, a freshman goalie and the team's only black member, said the DNA results should have marked the end of the investigation of the highly ranked team. The Blue Devils played for last year's national title and were considered a favorite this season before Duke canceled the season.
"I'm just glad that that ordeal is over with and hopefully as we progress with the case, it will show that all of the players will be exonerated ... of any wrongdoing at all," said Devon Sherwood's father, Chuck, of Freeport, N.Y.
Devon Sherwood was not tested because he is black, and the alleged victim, a black woman, had said her attackers were white.

The stress of Nifong's investigation and the prospects of a high-profile criminal trial will have a lasting effect on players, the school and the sport, said Sherwood, whose son is the squad's only black player and was therefore free of suspicion. The dancer said her three attackers were white, so the younger Sherwood did not have to give a DNA sample as 46 of his teammates were ordered to do.
'Part of that team'
"Even though my son was never implicated, he's a part of that team and feels the stress and strain as well," said Sherwood, 52, an elementary school teacher who lives in Freeport, N.Y.
Sherwood, who played goalie for the Duke lacrosse team from 1972 to 1975 and thinks he was the school's first black lacrosse player and assistant coach, has declined to say whether his son was at the March 13 team party. He said his son has felt unique pressure because both he and the accuser are black.
"He's feeling a lot of a different kind of pressure than the rest of the team," said Sherwood. "There's a feeling that because he is an African-American, he should have stepped forward and told what he knows or stepped in and stopped this."
