How many copies of her book were sold?

I'll ping her Texas Sales Rep. to see if he can answer the question.

Her defense is forming right now: the mental and physical horror she went through at the hands of the Duke boys, injured her so badly that this is the result. She got PTSD when she and Milton were arguing. She let her anger out at boyfriend mistaking him for the Duke boys.

“Four years ago prosecutor Michael Nifong’s political aspirations came to an abrupt halt for prosecuting the three Duke lacrosse players. And now Martha Coakley has lost her bid for the United States Senate.

Prosecuting innocent men for crimes they didn’t commit is no longer the sure-fire formula to electoral success it once appeared to be. ESR”

“And who can forget when, in 2006, three members of the Duke University lacrosse team were indicted on charges of rape, sexual assault, and kidnapping by district attorney Michael Nifong? In the first week of his investigation, Nifong made inflammatory remarks to the press, claiming he was certain a rape had occurred and calling the lacrosse players “hooligans” who were hiding behind a “wall of silence.”

When he discovered that evidence didn’t quite match up, Nifong deliberately withheld exculpatory DNA evidence from the defense and misled the court as to its existence, at a time when he was up for reelection in a hotly contested race. Fifteen months later the students were exonerated and Nifong was removed from his post and disbarred for his misconduct.”

I knew this would happen. I hoped it wouldn't, but deep down I knew it would. The accused tried to do the noble thing and not destroy what little was left of another human being's life by moving forward with charges. In the end, it happened anyway. I can tell you with absolute certainty, unless there is true repentance there can be no salvation. Ms. Mangum was never sorry, never repented and she wound up exactly where she ought to be.

The sad part is her consort and her children have to pay the price. She'll just go on — business as usual. Sad, sad, sad.

I would think she probably got a big cash payday from Duke University over her false allegations, I’d like to know how much she made off of that whole charade. Maybe she’s spent all the money already and is back to life in the gutter. Or maybe her new gig is arson for profit?

Michael Savage labled her as the “Durham Dirtbag” I think that says it all.

Sounds like her life is on track. We can only presume this latest incident was whitey’s fault.
