FULL TITLE: Accuser from Duke lacrosse 'rape' case sobs as she is sentenced prison for the stabbing murder of boyfriend
The woman who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her in 2006 has been found guilty of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of her boyfriend.
Crystal Mangum, 35, was sentenced to between 14 and 18 years in prison for killing Reginald Daye, 46.
The former stripper and mother-of-three stabbed her boyfriend in the side of his chest during a fight at Daye's apartment on April 3, 2011.
Daye died 10 days later at Duke Hospital due to complications from his injuries but managed to speak to police before his death.
While Mangum claimed she stabbed Daye in self defense after he dragged her out by the hair out of the bathroom, Daye told investigators she Mangum attacked him several times with knives before stabbing him in the chest, according to News & Observer. Victim: Crystal Mangum was found guilty of the second-degree murder of her boyfriend Reginald Daye (pictured) whom she stabbed in his apartment during an argument in 2011. He died in hospital 10 days later

It took the jury six hours to deliberate.
Deputies immediately led Mangum out of the courtroom in handcuffs following the announcement of her sentence.
Her attorneys had hoped for a verdict of voluntary manslaughter.
The jury found Mangum not guilty of larceny for allegedly stealing cashier’s checks totaling $700 that Daye had previously given her to pay the rent.
Members of Daye’s family said they were satisfied with the verdict.

There is a creeping mental illness spreading across the nation.
More like splitting a Magnum of Champagne...
If not then I hope someone anonymously sends them a debit card whose charges go to sharptons name so that they can hoist more than a couple -with friends! Make the racist b@st@rd pay for it, straight off!
3 kids. Now THAT's sad.
She’s an honor to her race. Obama should be proud,
I don’t see anything in this wretched, wasted life to be celebrating.
Success for decent men everywhere, notice to sleazy women everywhere, and a stab in the back to political correctness targeting men.
If she had falsely accused you of rape and dragged your name through nation-wide press for months on end, perhaps you could find it in your heart to celebrate her being locked away for years and years.
I know I would.
A Daye late and several dollars short.
All those Duke kids’ families spent well into six figures on their defense(s). Incredible damage was inflicted by this woman.
In the eyes of Jesus, she is still a precious soul. I don’t argue with here sentence, but in the same breathe, I will pray for her redemption.
PSYCHO BITCH
If she has a son he would look like Obama.....really.
if obama had a stripper...
men should remember that when they think all of that is victimless...
almost all strippers and prostitutes are victims of some childhood trauma, and most of them use drugs and alcohol to continue to do what they do...
morals and values and the Ten Commandments really do mean something...
I'm just waiting with bated breath for 1)Holder to proclaim that the (in)Justice Department is filing charges against the prosecutor, 2)The Mouthpiece (literally) Mistress Tamarrah Jackson-Holder to announce this just another racist railroding,
...and finally, 3)that Great Community Organizer "Barky" to announce with all solemnity "If I Had A Daughter,... she would look like Tamarra -what?(offstage whispering) Tamarrah? That's what I said- Tawonnoh? Taiwanny? Tawanna! What...? Oh, Chrystal! Yes, a daughter, she would look like "Chrystal". (aside:"where's eric?") This is indeed a national travesty, and I will instruct all attentive agencies to look into this immediately."
I would argue with her sentence, in fact give her life in prison...had it been pre-meditated then the death penalty.
We have the crime rates we do because we aren’t carrying out the sentences given which would deter those crimes. Then we send them to get their education, play ball, have all their meals provided, grant them access to all the comforts of home in places which were once called prisons....but afford them far more than many are willing to work for on the outside of the prison system we have today.
Yes she has a soul, but I believe what Jesus would call her act is murder, which makes her a murderer......
you are too funny
