A few quotes from the high Dukey,

Quote :

""Given the complexities of this case, getting the communication right would never have been easy," Brodhead said. "But the fact is that we did not get it right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they were most in need of support. This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it, and I apologize for it.""

"HBO has acquired the rights to a book about the Duke University lacrosse team sexual assault case, with plans to create a movie for the cable channel. Variety, an entertainment industry magazine, reported that HBO plans a movie from the book "Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case," which was written by KC Johnson and Stuart Taylor Jr."

Meh. Sounds like a documentary. I'm waiting for the drama version that will eventually appear on Lifetime.

10/4/2007 11:48:10 AM

I'm waiting for the Showtime version.

I heard on the news that the Mayor of Durham has input into the investigation before the arrest of the Duke boys. Man, the term "Duke boys" has forever been corrupted, sad really.

10/4/2007 11:53:09 AM

Where can I volunteer to be an extra on the set at the party scene

I want to see what really happened

You can already tell how that will play out:

-the stripper will be made to look as sympathetic as possible
-the lacrosse players will be portrayed as assholes in everything that they do
-when the stripper gets raped, everybody will turn against her
-when the players are found not guilty, it will be portrayed as a tragedy

There already is such a movie and a novel--both titled The Bonfire of the Vanities. Though writer Tom Wolfe's story was fictional, it appears that through the Zeitgeist he anticipated the real-life Duke lacrosse case in 1987. Such a literary "premonition" is not unheard of, you know.

"GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- Three former Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of rape filed a federal lawsuit Friday against disgraced prosecutor Mike Nifong, the city of Durham and the police detectives who handled the investigation. The lawsuit calls the criminal case against Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans "one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial and scientific misconduct in modern American history." The lawsuit seeks unspecified punitive and compensatory damages, attorneys fees and numerous reforms to the way the Durham Police Department handles criminal investigations. "

I'm not comfortable with giving some Yankee douchebags thirty million right out.

Don't seem right.

10/5/2007 11:46:02 PM

^ Let me falsely accuse you of rape and spend the better part of a year working hard to take away every freedom you have and destroy your life all while ruining your reputation via the national media. Maybe then you'll have some sympathy.

10/6/2007 12:07:40 AM

^^That they're douchebags is largely irrelevant. It's whether or not 30 (or whatever) mil is a sensible amount to compensate for what they went through.

10/6/2007 2:36:53 AM

You're right the fact that they're douche bags is largely irrelevant.

It's the fact that they're Yankees that bothers me.

I think they've taken enough already.

10/6/2007 6:22:41 AM

i dunno $10 million might not make me forget, but it would sure as hell ease the pain a bit

10/6/2007 3:21:27 PM

I think they should go after jesse jackson and al sharpton next. they did nothing but instigate shit.

2/20/2010 4:14:13 PM

Goddamn she is ugly... she used to be an 'exotic' dancer?

BTW,

Quote :

""We hope that the courts will adjudicate this case with fairness and without bias," Vincent Clark, Mangum's publisher, said in a statement. "Nevertheless, we support Crystal in her effort o heal from abuse and past injustices," "

What is he talking about? Are any past abuses and injustices towards this great upstanding citizen known to the public?

Or is it all about "oh she is black, born to a poor family, her father abused her, she couldn't finish school because she is poor etc" kind of stuff?



P.S. I never knew she published a book and still claimed/claims that she was attacked So is she pretty rich now or what?

She might be rich... but she is still trash.

http://danceforgrace.com/

I also did not know that she had children, let alone 3! Poor kids. So this bf of hers. Is he the father of those kids? Of one of them? None of them? Did she have this bf when she was going around dancing for men for money?

she was appointed a public attorney, so i highly doubt she has any money.

Just because she wrote a book doesnt mean she is now rich...people actually have to buy the book first

" DURHAM -- Crystal Gail Mangum is in police custody under $150,000 bond after court officials accused her of violating a condition of a previous pre-trial release agreement. An arrest warrant issued Wednesday charges Mangum with not complying with visitation hours detailed in her release agreement. Mani Dexter, the attorney representing her, is consulting with the district attorney's office with hopes of scheduling a hearing later today. Quantcast Quantcast Mangum, the discredited accuser in the Duke lacrosse case, was in court in July, on the day Duke University demolished the house where the 2006 lacrosse team held its infamous party, asking to be treated like anyone else fighting charges in the court system. At that time, court officials outlined an agreement through which Mangum could see her children. On Feb. 18, officers responded to a domestic violence call at the Lincoln Street home that Mangum shared with a one-time boyfriend. Police say Mangum started a blaze by setting her boyfriend's clothes on fire in the bathtub. Her children, who in July were 11, 9 and 3, were present, according to police reports. In April, a grand jury indicted Mangum on charges of first-degree arson, three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, injury to personal property, and resisting an officer. Her three children, ex-boyfriend Milton Walker and the officers are named as victims in the case. When she went to jail in February, Mangum signed a consent order granting custody of the three children to the father of the two youngest, and that remains in force. With consent from the district attorney's office in July, Morgan agreed to let Mangum see her children with supervision from the custodial father or an appointee of the court. The children were to continue to live with the father, and Mangum had planned to move in with her ill mother. The judge allowed the move and downgraded Mangum to electronic monitoring with a curfew, rather than 24-hour house arrest."

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but they just bulldozed the house on Buchanan Blvd., that the whole Duke lacrosse thing happened in. It's sat empty as long as I've lived in Durham- I walk or run past it pretty much every day with the dogs, and I noticed it wasn't there anymore.

Little wonder they didn't raze it sooner because of all the publicity surrounding the case.

8/28/2010 1:35:34 PM

my uncle rented a townhouse in the DC area to one of the guys involved with the rape scandal a couple months after it happened. the kid moved out and left a bunch of shit, and i think my cousin took all of it. welp, that's my claim to fame. see ya.
