A pity Nifong has been disbarred. He would be wonderful in her defense. It was obvious the dead guy was trying to rape her, so it was self defense. The important thing is to get the alleged perp's and the alleged victim's absentee ballots processed before (a) the arraignment, and (b) the funeral. NC be shaky for the Democrat Party right now.
The strange story of Crystal Mangum began long before Mike Nyfong got involved. Years earlier she claimed falsely that she was gang raped. No charges were filed. Later she stole a taxi, raced through two counties, and tried to run over a policeman. Again, she waltzed away from any punishment.
When she falsely accused the Duke Lacrosse players of raping her she was never brought to trial because the attorney general said she had too many mental problems.
Right after it became clear that she was lying about the charges the police chief of Durham totally disappeared. He was still on the payroll but never was at his job.
It makes one wonder - how did Crystal get away with all of her crimes and never get prosecuted? Is there some reason why she was untouchable? Is she related to the police chief?
There is probably more truth in your comments than we might know.
Calling Nancy Grace, calling Nancy Grace... media rescue needed stat.
Is the decedent white? It's presumptively attempted rape only if the accused is white and the accuser black. If the deceased if black, no such presumption.
