Why have "reporters" turned into "persons who hold the mike and let the interviewee say whatever they want without challenge"? Don't they do background work to compare answer to previous statements? Why was CGM given an open forum to say things that are provably false? This is textbook definition of "unbelievable".

There are no journalists anymore. Just propagandists that do what they are told to do.

Can Walt remind us of what the law is in North Carolina about using medical malpractice as a defense in homicide cases, i.e. claiming the victim wouldn't have died if the doctors had done their job correctly?

I suspect it's not particularly accepted by judges here, or in other states for that matter.

Case law and our pattern jury instruction say that medical malpractice is not an intervening cause. Further, the pattern jury instruction makes it clear that medical malpractice does not relieve the defendant of responsibility unless it was the sole cause of death. Our case law makes it clear that "sole" is a very difficult standard to meet. In fact, voluntary refusal of life sustaining medical treatment (i.e. a Jehovah's Witness refusing a blood transfusion) is not the "sole" cause and thus intervening. Thus, it really doesn't matter if there was malpractice or not. Since Daye was in the hospital because of Crystal's stab wound and he died, she is responsible.

If you think about it, that is a rule that makes good sense. We don't want criminals to go free simply because they got lucky and their victim got a bad doc. Instead, we make people responsible for the consequences of their acts.

I would like to think that Crystal would realize that until she "takes ownership" of her bad actions nothing will change for her. While I would hope that she would "get religion" but I would be lying if I said that I truly believed that she will reform.

I tend to think of her as a sort of wind-up toy truck: you can communicate with it all you want - but there is no receiver there. I better stop before I get REALLY politically incorrect!

Absolutely correct. Crystal has mental problems and will never understand why she thinks she is being picked on all the time. Besides, she gets positive feedback in that area from her friends all the time. She is mentally 14 years old in a 30 something year old body. On;y the saints will know what is in her mind when she gets old and flabby. I am sure she will blame that on someone.

It's sweeps month. If he granted interviews, they'd interview the Devil his own self and let him say whatever he wanted.

Thanks Walt. I went looking for the relevant NC precedent but my Google-fu let me down for once.

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...
Once the blade punctured the dermis, she rotated or twisted it while struggling with Reggie. Hence multiple organ damage.

Some things just don't change. If you give her a venue, she's going to be giving the details of her 'ordeals.'

The statement of one of her drivers (how many do you have?) is the closest you'll get to the truth with Crystal. It tells of prostitution, drugs, sex with drivers, more drugs, crazy outbursts and getting home at 8:00 am.

Some people would not recognize the truth if it came up and slapped them in the face. Crystal is one such person - she has lied so often that for her the truth is whatever she happens to say at that particular moment .....and if the the story changes on the next re-retelling, well that newest iteration is now the gospel truth.
