DURHAM -- Crystal Mangums attorney withdrew from her defense Tuesday, saying she had compromised the case by sharing information with supporters who rallied for her the same day.
The truth will set Crystal Mangum free, said Sidney Harr, of the Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong, which held a press conference Tuesday morning outside the Durham County jail.
Mangum, 33, is charged with the murder of Reginald Daye, 46. Police found Daye with one stab wound in the torso April 3 at Mangums 3507 Century Oaks Drive apartment. Mangum was charged with murder after Daye died April 13. She remains in jail under $200,000 bail.

She planted the seeds and now doesn't like the harvest!
It’s a shame the lessons from the Duke case were not heeded by more. In particular, Angela Corey really should have asked Mike Nifong how things work out when prosecutors allow themselves to be stampeded by racial politics into ill-advised charges.
One of the lessons of this case is that false accusers MUST be charged with felonies and locked up. This should have gone to jail for her false accusations against those innocent Duke students. If she had, Reginald Dye would be alive today.
At the time the prosecutor said something about her being mentally unstable and that putting her in jail would not serve any purpose. In fact it would have deterred others from making false accusations and would have saved a man’s life.
Anyone who would make false accusations against another person or persons that could put them in prison is a sociopath and as dangerous as any murderer. No person with any sort of conscience would ever do this. They should be required to serve double the maximum sentences that those they falsely accused were facing.
“Crystal Mangum”
Sounds like a stripper or porn name.
I wonder how much Duke U is paying the local media to ignore this case.
[Sounds like a stripper or porn name]
She was a stripper that’s how she got into this whole Duke LAX mess.
I live in the craphole that is Durham, and I will tell you, hand on heart, that if The Fong could somehow get his law license back and run for DA again, he’d get 25% of the vote. And the only reason he wouldn’t win is that he *didn’t* get the conviction on the Duke lacrosse players.
Politics in this town is absolutely toxic. It’s a combo of black racists and academic Marxist liberals that is destroying what should be a wonderful place to live, but is instead a high-crime, high-tax, economically-depressed toilet that I’ve termed “Zimbabwe With a Ballpark.”

She would starve either way.

Could probably make an OK living as a lot lizard.
Sure about that? She's whack enough to think that losing her atty is a good thing.
“Committee on Justice for Mike Nifong”?
Your tagline is very apropos when following your comment!
Hey Moose, are you also a member of that 25 member powerhouse called Liestoppers. It seems that Tony came back to life in the form of Lodge Pro and Mason. Funny how they call themselves Liestoppers.
dsl, that often contradictory expositor of wisdom on why men cheat on their wives at LS, could give this specimen some lessons in how to look “dowdy” while street walking. We just don’t allow this in Flat Rock, don’t you know?
