. During a Fire Investigation. She couldn't focus to ask if her kids were okay, or to tell someone to get them out first, but she gets to this. I have to wonder why those women in Durham - the Friends of Mangum and Nifong - want a Prostitute, Drug-User, Drug Dealer, False Accuser, Car Jacker and accused Arsonist in their Neighborhood. Think about that. Who would this woman in their neighborhood? Basically, anyone that Brings them White Scalps, is deserving of their protection. . . Edited by Mason, Dec 13 2010, 05:06 PM.

Does any one know if Mani Dexter of the Amos G. Tyndall Law Firm is being paid by the Durham Judicial Court system as a public defender, or is this pro bono? Or is someone else picking up the tab? http://www.amostyndall.com/about-us/mani-l-dexter |

. The Harvard lawyer is being paid thru the Judicial Court system via the Public Defender's office. Good word that Crystal is being prepped in the Evenings. In fact, people in court should watch Crystal, she has two notebooks (looks like one large notebook) and she goes line by line over the same sections like she's studying. . |

Thanks Walt! We appreciate any facts from the downtown loop. It was cold/ windy here today folks and will be colder tomorrow. We need someone in the court everyday. Seems that's the only way to get any details. |

Very true, Mason. Who would wish to have Mangum as their neighbor..or tenant? "Officer Tyler described the Apartment as small and having a lot of debris on the floor and all around. He mentioned that "lots of debris" about 3 times. He said there was no furniture in the Living room at all, except an outside folding chair that was used." I doubt NCCU will be featuring Mangum in any recruiting posters. Is this the lifestyle that awaits their Magna Cum Laude graduates? Really? The lies and the "machinations" are becoming painfully obvious. Edited by Joan Foster, Dec 13 2010, 05:36 PM.

In fact, people in court should watch Crystal, she has two notebooks (looks like one large notebook) and she goes line by line over the same sections like she's studying. She's probably reading the NC General Statutes in preparation for taking the stand. Watching that will be a thing of beauty. |

Is it smart and in the best interest (or any interest) of the defense lawyers career development to set up an ineffective assistance of council defense? I realize the problem she may have with crystals defense but how much of a plus is it considered for a defense lawyer to admit s/he was ineffective? |

I am trying to understand the "snap defense" thrown out there by Mangum's lawyers: that the DPD Officers brought Milton into the house in order to deliberately make Mangum snap. I personally have never heard of such a police tactic in the case of responding to a domestic dispute. I've watched tons of "48 hours" episodes, tons of "body of evidence" shows, tons of "forensic files" episodes, etc, and I've never heard of such a police tactic in the case of responding to a domestic dispute, nor does it even make any sense to me. Are they arguing that the DPD wanted to arrest Mangum, for reasons unrelated to the domestic dispute, so they brought Milton in to make her snap? If so, what is their explanation as to why the DPD wanted to arrest Mangum? Because of her association with Duke Lacrosse case? BUT that makes no sense, as the DPD supported Mangum 100% throughout the case. EVEN after Nifong recused himself from the case in Jan 2007, DPD Deputy Chief Ronald Hodge publicly reiterated his determination to prosecute Reade, Colin, and Dave. The DPD even allowed Linwood Wilson in the DA's Office to conduct an internal investigation of the only DPD Officer who thought Mangum was lying from the beginning. So, why would the DPD be out to get her? I am very confused ... Edited by MikeZPU, Dec 13 2010, 08:37 PM.

Yet the police also said they didn't know she was Crystal Mangum until just before they were about to leave, and they found a medicine bottle with her name on it. (So "revenge" against Mangum can be ruled out, IMHO.) |

None, unless you really want out of the criminal defense practice. IAC is a defense best left to only the very best lawyers and the very worst. And, Manni Dexter isn't among the very best lawyers. Walt-in-Durham |

The cops didnt let Miltn into the house on purpose. It was cold that night and Milton was shirtless and shoeless. It was mentioned that he was cold shivering at the front door. I am guessing the cops brought him inside the house so he could warm up some and get dressed. I would guess that the cops would have kept Milton and crystal separated. That is when crystal went off the deep end and that is when they cuffed her and told Milton to stay in the chair. I do not believe they knew she was crystal. I am pretty sure they did not do anything to her because of her previous false accusation. Just like on TV, I would guess that Milton would have been asked to get his clothes and go stay at a friends house for the night. But then there was the fire and all of the other hell that broke. Even with the domestic calls on cops they usually let one of the parties back in the house to get clothes or other personal stuff before going to a friends. IMO the defense has no defense so they are trying the back door approach. Toss the case on technicalities. I do not believe the cops related this back to the LAX case, it was the press. Remember when crystal got to the magistrates office, TV was there filming. |

. I think Tyler and Thompson have pretty good records and reputations. If they didn't, we would've heard about it by now. Remember, the N&O is on the case. As to Crystal being deprived of sleep, I had to laugh there. That is her regular schedule, 5:00 am nude in the Strip Club parking lot, working hotels for paying customers and then street-walking to get customers in the early am. When she finally got in bed (or stopped to rest) she got high or ended up having sex with Pimp 1 or Pimp 2. Pimp 3 was visiting her at her house later. All stuff that she be pertinent in her evaluation as a Parent to those kids. . |

Which is a sad commentary on the state of journalism in NC... |
