http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/12/17/868180/crystal-mangum-verdict-may-be.html Published Fri, Dec 17, 2010 01:20 PM Modified Fri, Dec 17, 2010 03:42 PM Mangum supporter charged with contempt for outburst DURHAM Former Durham City Councilwoman Jackie Wagstaff faces a charge of criminal contempt after saying "This is ridiculous" while Super Court Judge Abe Jones was ordering the jury back into deliberation after two days of being split on Mangum's felony arson charge. Jones heard the comment directly but didn't know who said it, and threatened 30 days of jail time for anyone making any further outbursts. But bailiff Staci Ottoway identified Wagstaff as the person. Jones then called Ottoway to testify to that under oath and called for public defender Lawerence Campbell, who's office is across the hall from the courtroom, to represent Wagstaff before the judge takes any action against her. Ottoway noted that Wagstaff and a handful of other Mangum supporters have been making audible comments throughout the trial. Jurors could reach a verdict this afternoon in the criminal case against Crystal Mangum. The trial has entered its third week, and the jury foreman today told Superior Court Judge Abe Jones it had reached unanimous decisions on five out of six charges. She said jurors were split 8-4 before lunch today on the most serious charge, felony arson. After 20 more minutes of deliberation, the split changed from 9-3, and the jury didn't think they could narrow the split any further. Mangum also faces charges of misdemeanor child abuse, injury to personal property and resisting an officer. |

Can we assume from Jones's ignorance of the misbehavior in the courtroom that he really was not getting his legal advice at night from LieStoppers these last few days? |
