Crystal Mangum speaks to ABC11 from behind bars

Updated at 08:25 PM today

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Convicted killer Crystal Mangum, who became infamous as the Duke Lacrosse accuser, remains behind bars after a jury found her guilty of second degree murder in the death of her boyfriend Reginald Daye.

A lot has happened in the months since Mangum was hauled off to the North Carolina Correctional Institution For Women.

Mangum sat down with ABC11 to talk about the conviction, her children, and where she'd like to go from here.

Mangum thought her legal troubles were over.

"She said on the count of second degree murder -- guilty. I couldn't believe it," she said. "I thought about everything that happened during the trial that went wrong."

"You really wholeheartedly believe that jury would believe you," asked the I-Team's Tamara Gibbs.

"I did. I did," she said.

Mangum still maintains she was fighting for her life during a heated argument with her Daye. However, prosecutors convinced the jury she stabbed him in a fit of rage. He would later die at the hospital days later.

"The autopsy was flawed," said Mangum. "How could a one centimeter stab wound cause someone to die ten days later, go into a coma, heart attack. It just doesn't add up."

Mangum also points to the state medical examiner fired just days before her trial. She and her attorney were at odds in court over whether to introduce an independent review of the autopsy.

"That report would've told the inconsistencies of Dr. Nichol's report," said Mangum. "My attorney argued with me and pretty much threatened me."

Mangum claims she was pressured and powerless -- calling it the perfect storm for a conviction -- payback for her role in the infamous Duke Lacrosse case.

"I feel like I've made some enemies with some pretty powerful people and to no fault of my own, I'm paying the consequences," she said.


The jury also heard about another violent fight with a former boyfriend that landed Mangum in jail.

"Are you unlucky? Or are these experiences your own doing? Your own creation," asked Gibbs.

"Believe it or not, domestic violence is very common," said Mangum.

Mangum will spend at least 14 years in prison for the Daye's death, but she tells us she'll fight that conviction, launching an aggressive appeal.

"That's my main purpose for doing his interview today -- is to get that point across," said Mangum. "I want a full investigation into the autopsy and death of Reginald Daye."

Meanwhile, Mangum waits to see her three children.

ABC11 was her first official visit since she arrived at the Raleigh facility.

She denies she courts the firestorm of criticism and the bright lights of news cameras.

"If anything, I want to go on with my life, live with my children. Live a normal life," she said. "I'm not gaining anything from this."

No fault of her own? No fault of her own???

First of all, this had nothing to do with her egregious and criminally
false allegations of rape in the Duke Lacrosse case.

But even if it did, "no fault of her own"? Her evil lies, and her absolute
and total unwillingness to recant those lies despite how provably false
they were, and despite the enormously deleterious impact her lies had
on a city, a university, and a nation, but it was "no fault of her own"?

I absolutely have no sympathy for her -- she never recanted her false
allegations of rape, she never apologized for trying her best to put three
innocent young men in prison for 30 years each, and she never apologized
to Reggie Daye's family for killing their son ...

She deserves to rot in jail.

How many Lawyers did she go through to get to the one she says threatened her?

In fact, didn't she ask the court to make special provisions so she could have this lawyer, that threatened her?

I believe the court refused her request for a specific lawyer and just came out and told her she would get the next in line lawyer. She accused all her lawyers of hiding the review of the medical examiners report. I don't think she could understand that the alternative report did not contradict the original medical examiners report or contradict any procedures performed at and by duke med.

The wound is gaping measuring 0.7" x 0.3" in greatest diameters. The knife is found to enter the body at this site, traveling roughly downwards with subsequent perforation of the left lower lung lobe, diaphragm, stomach, colon and kidney.


That seems to be how...

Actually, Reggie Daye used to smoke - and this is the true cause of his death. Had he not been a smoker, a slight poke with a dinner knife would do him no harm. So we should stop being distracted by such nonsense, and concentrate on the conspiracy by the Big Tobacco to sell cigarettes, crack and guns to Black children! The purpose of this campaign by the racist Big Pharma is to... :mkell:

Thanks Tamara for the interview :)

Nothing has changed in her mind- she is still playing the blame game.
