http://www.ourheartsworld.com - Doesn't work for me either. I wonder if Jesse James will continue to fund her education with all that has now happened. I think that this whole case has been ridiculous and is going to make it harder for actual rape victims to be taken seriously! I also think that Duke fucked up by suspending the season for the team and basically kicking the boys in question out of school before the case was completed because last time I checked you are innocent until proven guilty! 4/11/2007 12:54:39 PM |

Quote : | "RALEIGH, N.C. - Prosecutors dropped all charges Wednesday against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting a stripper at a party, saying the athletes were innocent victims of a "tragic rush to accuse" by an overreaching district attorney.
"There were many points in the case where caution would have served justice better than bravado," North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper said in a blistering assessment of Durham County District Mike Nifong's handling of the case.
Cooper, who took over the case after Nifong was charged with ethics violations that could get him disbarred, said his own investigation concluded not only that the evidence against the young men was insufficient, but that no attack took place." |

^Bullshit, those men's names were dragged through the mud. They had to spend millions of dollars, and from now on the rest of their lives are fucking tagged with being the duke lacrosse rapists.
The LEAST they should do is plaster the picture of the woman on the news and say "This is the woman who falsely accused three men of rape. This is her real name. She made it all up."
That shouldn't do shit for people "coming forward" about rape, but what it should do is discourage hobags like this trash from trying to bring up false charges. 4/11/2007 2:53:06 PM |

I didn't say I agreed with it, that would be my best guess as to why they did that. That and the fact that they obviously see some mental issues with her.
Also, civil suites will follow. I was just referring to criminal charges. I think civil suites against her, and Nifong are necessary.4/11/2007 3:04:03 PM |

I think they should go after Nifong! I don't think they can win a suit against the University because they can prolly say that the party was in some way against the school's conduct code or some crap excuse like that. As for the girl...I think they should go after her too but I don't think they will get anything out of her either. I do think that she should be filed for a false police report or what not though just like the stupid runaway bride bitch. I don't think that it would keep people that had actually been raped from coming forward at least I would hope not.

Quote : | "In 1993, when she was 14 years old, Mangum claimed to have been kidnapped by three men, driven to a house in Creedmoor, N.C., 15 miles away from Durham, and raped. She said one of the men was her boyfriend at the time, and was a physically and emotionally abusive man seven years older than she was. Creedmoor Police Chief Ted Pollard said Mangum filed a report on the incident in Aug. 18, 1996, three years after the rapes allegedly took place. The case, however, was not pursued, because the accuser backed away from the charges out of fear for her life, according to her relatives.
Family members still disagree on what really happened in 1993. The accuser's father has said he believes his daughter was not raped or injured in that incident, while her mother has said a rape involving three men in Creedmoor did occur, but said it happened when her daughter was 17 or 18; Mangum's ex-husband, Kenneth Nathanial McNeill, has said he believes the 1993 rape accusations are true." |
Quote : | "On June 16, 1998, she accused her husband of taking her into a wooded area and threatening to kill her, which he has denied doing. When she failed to appear at a court hearing, the complaint was dismissed." |
Quote : | "In June 2002, she was arrested on a multitude of charges while working at a topless dance club called Diamond Girls. According to police, she removed a customer's keys to his taxicab while giving him a lap dance, then stole the taxi while he was in the bathroom. Police chased her at speeds up to 70 miles per hour — frequently in the wrong lane — and when an officer tried to approach her, she barely missed running him over, and struck his patrol car instead. She tried to escape again, but a flat tire ended the second leg of her getaway. Finally in custody, she was found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.19 (the state limit is 0.08). While being questioned, Mangum passed out and was taken to a hospital." |
Quote : | "According to employees of clubs she worked at, she was known as a problem dancer, frequently clashing with customers and other dancers and often passing out." |
Quote : | "According to reports, Mangum said she'd had sex with at least three men in the days leading up to the Duke lacrosse incident, including her boyfriend and two of the men who drove her to dancing gigs." |
