DURHAM Crystal Mangum was found guilty of second degree murder Friday in the death her boyfriend, Reginald Daye.

In a quick-moving trial, jurors deliberated over four options: first-degree murder, guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of voluntary manslaughter or not guilty.

That Mangum stabbed boyfriend Daye, 46, on April 3, 2011, was never in question.

She admitted during the eight-day trial that she “poked” Daye with a knife in the side of the chest with a steak knife at his apartment, but she claimed she did it in self-defense while he was straddling her and trying to choke her.

Daye told investigators that Mangum stabbed him during the argument after she “disrespected” him by bringing other men to his house.

Both said that sometime during their fight, Mangum went into the bathroom and locked the door and that Daye broke the door down and grabbed her by the hair. Mangum said he dragged her out of the bathroom by the hair and that she stabbed him shortly after that.

Sounds like good evidence of self defense.

I'm confused about this article.

How could Daye testify to investigators about his murder ?

Black skin, and female genitalia accusing rich white boys.

if the guy was dead how did he talk to investigators?

[clintonh8r]

To her supporters in the media, the DA’s office and the Dewk faculty lounge, she was a “struggling single mom and veteran, working part time while trying to get a college education.”

How could Daye testify to investigators about his murder ?

After his stabbing, Daye lived for several days before succumbing. He was interviewed by investigators.

Jesse was going to raise funds to pay for her to go to college, as I recall. I wonder where that went?

[Trailerpark Badass]
