danceforcash already taken, huh?
I expect the boys would just like to move on, but this will have disrupted their lives and hurt them indefinitely. One doesn't just dust himself off and walk away after having been victimized by an entire town and college full of obscene racist criminals such as these.
She will be treated like one. This appearance at the school is just a trial run for her appearance on Oprah, The View, and the like, selling "her" book when it comes out. I hope she pays a decent wage to whoever writes it for her.
;O)
At least there's something we can agree on. Unfortunately she's judgment-proof, so little can be done about this.
Debut of lacrosse accuser's book delayed
By Gregory Childress : The Herald-Sun
Oct 3, 2008
DURHAM — The scheduled release of a book by Crystal Gail Mangum, the Durham woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape, has been pushed back a few weeks.
The book, a memoir titled “The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story,” in which Mangum breaks her silence on the infamous case, had been scheduled for release on Wednesday.
But Vincent “Ed” Clark, who has been helping Mangum manage her affairs since the lacrosse case, said the release was delayed because the book's copy editor got sick. Clark said the new release date will likely be Oct. 22 and that he is planning a media event to coincide with the release.
“It'll probably be in Durham or Charlotte,” Clark said.
The book is being published by fire! Books, which Clark owns with two partners.

Clark stressed that the book isn't entirely about the lacrosse case. He said Mangum, a recent N.C. Central University graduate, writes about her troubled adolescence and making bad choices, particularly when it came to men. He said she hopes that by writing the book that she can help young people make better decisions than she has.
“The story that we're trying to tell is that Crystal [Mangum] is a real person,” Clark said. “The error people make is that because she was doing that kind of work [working as a stripper] that she is a bad person.”
Clark said Mangum never intended to hurt anyone, but dodged questions about whether she still contends she was assaulted in the lacrosse house.
“I'll leave that nugget for the press event,” Clark said.
The Herald-Sun named Mangum for the first time in August because of her decision to publish a book and use her name in the title.
Does she use meth?
I have two words: "sub" "prime".
She’s going to pull that trick on the wrong men one day - ones that will make sure she assumes room temperature.
Did they ask her hoe many samples she was currently carrying?
Mangum said, “She is striving to get her PhD and to open a group home for sexually assaulted women.”
OMG.
Man I don't know if that was accidental or intentional. But it's either ironic or funny as he11.
How long until she runs for a political office? Which party would she be in (like I need to ask)?
I know. The jokes just write themselves.
Well being she apparently has a history of selling herself for money she would fit easily in either major political party, sadly...
Well, this much is true.
