Duke Accuser Faces Charges
[Guest post by DRJ]
The accuser in the Duke Lacrosse case is now the focus of criminal charges:
“Mangum was arrested by Durham police officers after they responded to a 911 call late Wednesday night about a domestic dispute, according to a Durham Police Department news release. Police said Mangum was fighting with her boyfriend, Milton Walker, and threatened to stab him. She also set his clothes on fire in a bathtub, WRAL reported.
Mangum said, “I’m gonna stab you [expletive]!!!” to Walker, according to court documents.
Mangum resisted and gave officers a fake name when they arrested her, court documents state.
Mangum was charged with attempted first degree murder, five counts of first degree arson, assault and battery, identification theft, communicating a threat, injury to personal property, resisting a public officer and three counts of misdemeanor child abuse.

Crystal Gail Magnum isn’t a fake name?

happyfeet (71f55e) — 2/18/2010 @ 4:19 pmI would have thought that the support from the Duke faculty would have done something to improve her life.

But in the meantime, I am going to enjoy a “Compton Cookout” party this weekend, and have a pretty good idea what a “Ghetto Chick” is all about.

AD - RtR/OS! (2215b9) — 2/18/2010 @ 5:22 pmtoo bad there aren’t any repercussions for that group of upright scholars at Duke, they certainly deserve it.
Never help the Devil.
nk (db4a41) — 2/18/2010 @ 5:27 pmI wonder if Amanda Marcotte will remember the whole “innocent until proven guilty” thing this time around?
M. Scott Eiland (c552ec) — 2/18/2010 @ 6:21 pmWhat’s Difong doing these days? Maybe he can help here.
Dmac (799abd) — 2/18/2010 @ 6:27 pmCrystal Gail should journal about her feelings. It would help her get centered and reduce her anger and resentments.
daleyrocks (718861) — 2/18/2010 @ 6:43 pmFive counts of arson? How does that work? One count for each article of clothing in the bathtub?
Looks like the local authorities are sick of this POS and threw everything they could think of at her.
plep (6d0c48) — 2/18/2010 @ 7:12 pmI suggest we expel the Duke men’s swim team as a precautionary measure. I would assume they are mostly white, so that ought to work.
