I don’t see how she and her publisher won’t avoid a slander suit.

The charges weren’t just dropped; they were exonerated, they were declared innocent by a court opinion.

She is literate? Somehow I doubt her writing skills rise to a book. In fact, I will be surprised if they rise to a single, grammatically correct sentence.

It should be a short read:

Seriously, why is this bitch not in jail? I don’t want to hear any BS about how Nifong manipulated her. She is garbage and should be in jail.

should not be allowed near any minors yet even was a guest on Larry King.

I would call Larry King many things, but never a minor. Mummy, maybe, but not a minor. :)

I just called Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office

(919) 716-6400

and asked if he was going to prosecute Crystal Mangum now that she is writing a book.

For those of you who weren’t following this story the AG claimed she wasn’t going to be prosecuted because she was too mentally disturbed.

Now she is well enough to write a book she’s well enough to prosecute for filing a false police report.

“Seriously, why is this bitch not in jail? I don’t want to hear any BS about how Nifong manipulated her. She is garbage and should be in jail.”

I think the Attorney General’s office answered that in so many extremely carefully chosen words that amounted to: she’s a nut case.

Any public airing of charges against her and presentation of evidence would have seemed like persecuting the mentally defective, no matter how despicable what she did was.

Well it looks like she has made a recovery and is not longer a nut case. The psychotherapy worked, she has written a book. long past time to prosecute her.

BTW - where in the law does it say that nut cases can’t be prosecuted? Somebody should tell that guy Hinckley.

If this ever gets published, she and the publisher will undoubtedly get sued.

She hasn't gotten sued before this because she didn't have enough money to make it worth going after her.

It helps to first read a book before you write one.

We do have the “innocent by reason of insanity” idea in our laws. But I think the real reason is that the woman exhibited enough deranged and disoriented behavior during this episode that the AG’s office didn’t want the spectacle of prosecuting a near hapless black woman, with all the attention that would have drawn from the race hustlers and self-hating white libs in the media.

She richly deserved to be sent to prison, but those who had contact with her and were familiar with her behavior and various statements during the hoax decided against prosecution.

You can’t rape someone from a cab across town.

But, It's the seriousness of the charge we are talking about here.

Facts don't matter.

She can’t be VP; she’s only 29.

But look for her as a possibility in 2016. Or as a health official in the Obama adinistration. Sort of like Jocelyn Elders without the advanced degree. Actually, she could be Surgeon General pretty easily, once some Womyn’s Studies program gives her an honorary MD.

The irreplaceable La Shawn Barber has a few pointed thoughts on this.
