In a late-breaking development, Liestoppers is reporting that false accuser Crystal Mangum may be getting herself into deep legal hot water over her renewed claims that she was sexually assaulted.
As reported earlier today, Mangum has written a book about the Duke lacrosse rape scandal and is promoting the book through a local bookseller in Durham, who is the founder of the local New Black Panther Party--the same group of which Barack Obama was a member in Chicago.
Mangum went further today and gave a TV news conference during which she repeated her discredited claims that the 3 innocent Duke students 'raped' her 3 years ago--an allegation that ALL of the evidence disproves.
Liestoppers is calling for Mangum's arrest.
And then, late today, a statement was released by the father of one of the students, Reade Seligmann, warning that unless Mangum ceases from continuing to slander his son with allegations that were proved totally false, the family will take legal action against her.
We agree. However, we also must remember that this time, as with last time, Mangum is being used by powerful people. The last time it was a corrupt DA and political system. This time it is a member of the New Black Panthers seeking to make a quick buck.

False Accuser! Crystal's Last Stand
In a never-ending saga that causes one to pause to consider if they are in the twilight zone, the false accuser who ruined the lives of 3 innocent Duke University students is back in the news promoting her new book.
Crystal Mangum, who was used by a corrupt District Attorney in a corrupt county run by a corrupt Democratic Party, is still maintaining she was 'assaulted' although no evidence supports her claim.
In a state investigation, it was determined that Mangum lied, the 3 students were completely innocent of charges, and that they had been framed by a dirty DA to win an election, all with the complicit approval of Duke University, the Durham County Police and Justice departments, and the county Democratic Party.
Mangum, however, continues with her claim of innocence in the frame-up, making her last stand in a bookstore owned by a member of the New Black Panther Party in Durham. Obama supporters, no doubt.

More Shame in Durham--Circling the Wagons
Durham, NC (TLS). And the shame of Durham continues as the co-conspirators in the Nifong-Mangum Hoax circle the wagons, denying any culpability, not even as much as acknowledging mistakes in the entire fiasco.
The Durham Police Department had ample opportunity to cleanse itself in its own internal investigation into the affair, only to return with a statement of denials and the insistence that it had done absolutely nothing wrong.
Can't you just see the halos?
The Department's failure to confess and repent, and thus salvage what little integrity may remain within its dens of corruption, has led to calls for totally independent examinations and a much more candid assessment of what went wrong. The Liberty Sphere believes that such an independent investigation is long overdue.
Our concern, however, runs much deeper than just with the Durham Police Department, for we are convinced that Durham is but a microcosm of a much broader culture of corruption that exists in North Carolina state government. We have sounded the alarm many times about such corruption, for example, within the North Carolina Department of Social Services and its heavy-handed, gestapo-like tactics with innocent citizens.
We will leave that matter to our ongoing investigations into DSS. For now, the focus is on Durham. Perhaps if a concerted effort is made to clean up the police department, city government, the judiciary, and the local Democratic Party, then this would be one gigantic first step toward further reform in other areas.
We can only hope.
Liestoppers has a detailed examination of the nature of the corruption within the Durham Police Department with regard to the Nifong-Mangum Hoax. In spite of a scathing assessment from the North Carolina Attorney-General and others who have observed this scandal from afar, the local co-conspirators are indeed circling the wagons, fabricating stories, and outright lying to the public concerning their conduct in the affair.
Thus, the shame of Durham only deepens.

Transcripts of Final Report on Duke Rape Hoax
Washington, DC (TLS). North Carolina Attorney-General Roy Cooper has issued the final report on the Duke lacrosse rape case. The 21-page document, which fully proclaims the innocence of the three accused Duke students, concludes that none of the charges made by accuser Crystal Mangum could be corroborated by supporting evidence.
In fact, the report makes clear that NONE of the claims of the accuser actually took place.
Thus, this particular chapter in one of the most sordid and shameful sagas in American jurisprudence is closed. But the story is far from over. There will be lawsuits a-plenty. And then there is the subject of Mike Nifong's fate before the N.C. Bar, and potentially before a criminal court.
So there is much more to come.
The full transcripts of the final report can be found here:

CRYSTAL MANGUM EXPOSED! Arrest Records
Durham, NC (TLS). 'The Smoking Gun' website has exposed Crystal Mangum, the accuser in the Duke lacrosse rape hoax, and provided the complete official documents pertaining to her prior arrests.
Now that the North Carolina Attorney-General has proclaimed the complete innocence of the three falsely accused Duke lacrosse students, The Smoking Gun has decided to introduce the public to Ms. Mangum--the woman whose sole word was enough for a Durham District Attorney to bring three innocent lives to the brink of permanent ruin.
As you will see in the documents on file at The Smoking Gun, Ms. Mangum's arrest record is significant--not unusually long but significant enough to conclude that her testimony should be considered highly questionable at the very least.
This, in addition to the fact that her own father stated that his daughter was emotionally unstable, no doubt led Attorney-General Roy Cooper and his two special prosecutors to conclude that Ms. Mangum's testimony was sorely lacking in credibility.
To be fair, Ms. Mangum's plight elicits at least some pity. It is clear that she is a deeply troubled young woman who suffers from delusional ideation.
For this reason she should not be the one to bear the bulk of the responsibility and blame for the fiasco that ensued after her charges were made against the three Duke students.
The real villains in this case are Mike Nifong, who should have known better than to base an entire case upon the word of a delusional person, and the Durham Police Department that obviously sought to bury its gross misconduct by not only covering up their botched procedures but actually perpetrating a frame-up as a cover for their misdeeds. The local and state governments share in culpability as well, due to the fact that Judges and offices of District Attorneys carry the full weight of the government entities that employ them.
The Smoking Gun always provides insider scoops into most of the intriguing cases that make the news. For this reason we feature them in our list of preferred links on The Liberty Sphere.
