Duke lacrosse accuser holds press conference to defend herself

With a motion bracelet strapped to her right ankle, Mangum, 31, held a press conference in front of a Savannah Avenue home this morning - where she is on house arrest - to defend herself against a February domestic violence arrest.

Mangum was arrested at her Lincoln Street home after police alleged that during an argument with her ex-boyfriend, she set the apartment on fire and tried to kill her now ex-boyfriend while her three young children and two Durham police officers were in the home.

“I don’t feel like I’m going to get the justice that I deserve through the judicial system and I feel this my only and last means to reach out to the public and let them know that I did not set a fire that night,” she said while sitting in front of Savannah Avenue residence, unable to even walk to the driveway. “To let the public know that I am being unfairly treated due to preconceived notions that people have about me concerning another case. I feel like enough is enough.”

I doubt she can read at that level.

"Here’s a video of her talking the press in front of her home...also boyfriend in video..."

I guarantee that the boyfriend in the video is not one of the many who left DNA in her that day before the Duke Lacrosse team party.

Pathetic excuse for a human being. But you knew that. :-)

Oh, dear...what’s the old maxim, “When you find yourself in a hole...stop digging.”

As on original Liestopper, I am well aware that one cannot believe what Crystal says. However, she did attend the university and she did attend a graduation ceremony, and she did walk up in a cap and gown to get a piece of paper...

So I’m inclined to believe somebody paid for something.
