Here's the caution about Flexiril and alcohol: http://www.drugs.com/flexeril.html DIZZINESS is the big side effect - as in dizzy enough to fall down steps and not be able to stand without leaning and certainly not able to dance.
Mangum told the medical people the next day that she had been drinking heavily the night before. I wonder how much Flexiril she took? More than the regular dose? I wonder if she wanted to retract her story at that time by laying it off to the excessive alcohol consumption?
We had a discussion here about a week or so ago about the preliminary tox screen done for illegal drugs and in connection with date-rape drugs, which was negative. I said then that the only explanation for Mangum's condition was prescription drugs, and it appears that is correct.
This totally undermines Roberts' changed story that Mangum was fine when she arrived, and supports Roberts' original story that Mangum was out of it and "loopy" from the start.
What is really sweet about this new information is that Mangum clearly believed that Roberts ripped her off.
Imagine being so out of it, knowing you had no money to hand over to your pimp who might beat you (again - she had old bruises), being a whore in the first place, you're sitting in the car with the person who ripped you off, but you can't get out to go face your pimp, you're drunk on your ass and on pain pills, and the next thing you know the cops want to have you committed. Geez, I almost feel sorry for her, and I would if she hadn't gone forward with this thing. Then she falls into Nifong's clutches, and they're off and running - a devil's match if ever there was one. I think Nifong has taken advantage of a weak, pathetic person to advance his career through political manipulation of the electorate, at the expense of a great deal of pain and humiliation for these boys and possibly Mangum, who is just too weak and f-----d of a person up to stand up to his steamrolling. The truth of her character will be shown when it's learned whether or not she files civil suits. Right now I have to wonder.
The more I learn about this case, the more blame I place on Nifong's doorstep.
Agreed. Weeks back, I began to suspect that as lacking in character as the AV is, she more than likely needed some protections from the Nifong Matrix and oligarchy.
