The (Raleigh, NC) News & Observer ^ | November 22, 2013 | Beth Velliquette

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.

Ya know, back in 2006 when the DukeLax thing blew up, once everyone got a look at the skanky creature that was supposed to have been raped by the Lax team, it was obviously BS.

Those guys DO NOT have to resort to such desperation. And everybody knew it.

Everybody? I can think of at least 88 people who didn't.

Yeah, you’d think the LAX team could have found some attractive Duke co-eds to strip for them. never mind; there aren’t any.

No, they knew it was bullsh!t. But they didn’t care. Like all committed Marxists, the end justifies the means.

The characteristic was that she is black, and everyone jumped to the conclusion that mean white boys took advantage of an innocent black girl.

She was judged based on the color of her skin, and the color of the skin of the males involved. She was not judged on the content of her character.

Did he live long enough to tell his side of the story and then die? This story seems weird.

It does, but she is learning the price of crying wolf now. Sometimes people won’t believe you even when you do tell the truth.

She also spun quite a tale when accusing the Duke Lacrosse players, and some false accusations before that.

Gee, how about that? Wonder how many letters the Duke faculty will issue condemning Crystal?

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

"Disrespected" is not even a word, it is Ebonics speak.

Well Crystal, you reap what you sow.

“Friend of Rev. Al.”

Not sure about that, but during the Duke Lacrosse fiasco, Jesse Jackson and his Rainbow Coalition gave her a full scholarship to college. After all....Jesse said this poor girl was innocent and raped by those horrible lacrosse players.

Jesse...you’re an idiot, and all of us here at FR knew she was LYING! Those poor boys went through hell!
