LOS ANGELES — By now, I think I may be the only "expert" commentator who has not given up completely on the prosecution in the Duke rape case.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The only Anthony W Mangum's with a conviction in Durham County are black.
:-)
No, why do you ask?
It would matter if there were more than, say, twenty.
LOL! :<>
What would matter if there were more than 20, and why?
Why?? It doesn't matter to me how many families there are.
I posted it because it was interesting.
104 Mangums listed in the white page directory
The more families, the more likely no connection between Mangums, that's all.
No problem ... I can't keep up to the current thread either. :)
Where did I say they were connected? I said it was an interesting article, nothing more.
I don't understand why you are so upset.
I'm not upset, but I don't get the relevance. When I read articles posted in the body, I assume that they have something to do with the topic of the Duke case. Many of them are.
I've read articles like this before wondering who the heck these people are, how they are relevant to the case, to later discover they're not relevant.
I hate to admit this, but it could be because I'm "intrigue-challenged." I never know what's going on during mystery movies; more than two layers involved and I'm lost.
Speculation is fine, just if you would, label it as such for me so I don't think I've missed something?
Sorry, I know I'm a pain. I tell my husband all the time, and he just laughs. BUT he never denies it. So I know the truth.
Do you know where to find a blank copy of the report a SANE nurse would fill out...NC???
Sorry, I can't help you there. I merely posted something from another website and then maggief gave me a link. I can't see where posting an article is speculation.
Try here:

I first posted the article on a FR Duke LAX thread questioning whether the mentioned was related to the AV. It is unknown. As one freeper noted, why is a three month old failure to appear story suddenly current news?
May be related, may not be, but on these threads we tend to raise the question.
When the defense filed a motion for discovery, they stated that the NC SANE reports have 17 steps...and they were given only 5.
No site I have visited has been able to determine what was given to the defense and why other information would be held by the DA.
My html skills don't exist, so you will have to make the link you're own!
“. . . discovery only contains documents related to Steps 1,2, 10, 11 and 17.” http://www.wral.com/download/2006/0526/9282538.pdf
Have you posted this barf piece yet?? Be sure to read the link to the end. LOL!!!!
Other dancer in Duke rape case felt unsafe

"Long before Dr. Bartlett Durham sold land to the railroad for a station, many families had settled in the northern part of what was then Orange County. The Umsteads, the Tilleys, the Mangums, the Parrishes, the Balls, the Harrises, the Crabtrees, the Dukes, the Bennehans, and the Camerons all farmed the rolling hills north of the Eno River.
The settlement at the heart of this community had several different names, but in 1891, a new name was created to acknowledge three prominent families, the Balls, the Harrises, and the Mangums, and so Bahama (buh-HAY-muh) was named.
Today, the homes that these families built in the 19th and early 20th centuries cluster around the Mount Bethel United Methodist Church at the Bahama crossroads and dot the winding country roads that lead into the village. They harken back to the days when a front porch was a necessity of life, when neighbors gathered for impromptu sessions of music and dancing, when the pace of life in the country remained slow even while the city of Durham was growing fast with booming tobacco factories and cotton mills just ten miles to the south."

It can be said that all the Mangums of Durham, both black and white, are related by blood or marriage.

The Mangum central to the Duke affair most likely has "cousins" throughout the Creedmoor and Granville
County area, and may have well been "adopted" by the Durham kin.

Dancer: Race an issue at Duke party
BY JOHN MORENO GONZALES
Newsday Staff Writer
June 6, 2006
The second dancer in the Duke lacrosse case told a national publication that tensions built from start of the evening of the alleged rape, because drunken players were upset that black women arrived instead of the white and Hispanic performers they requested.
In a story scheduled to appear in Vanity Fair tomorrow, Kim Roberts said race played a disquieting role from the outset, when players seemed accepting of her appearance as woman of Korean and black heritage, but hesitant when the alleged victim, who is African-American, arrived.

Roberts said a demeaning atmosphere caused the women to leave the party, but did not dispute accounts that they took an $800 fee. She said when she drove off with the other dancer, several players who were angry over the money shouted racial epithets.
