Duke Not-a-Rape Accuser Accused of Attempted Murder
Solid citizen.
Who would have thought that a drugged-out psychotic whore and serial false accuser would turn out to be a bad seed.
The "attempted murder" charge here seems absurd, though.
The woman who was at the center of the phony Duke lacrosse rape case was arrested today and charged with attempted murder.
The Durham Police Department told ABC News that Crystal Gale Mangum got into an argument with her boyfriend, Milton Walker, shortly after midnight on Thursday.
The arrest warrant claims that Mangum, 33, scratched, punched and threw objects at Walker before taking all of his clothes and setting them on fire in a bath tub. Firefighters were sent to the home to extinguish the blaze.
Police said they had to evacuate three children, ages 10, 9 and 3, from the apartment because of the fire. It was not immediately known whose children they were.
Mangum is charged with first-degree attempted murder for communicating a threat because she allegedly told Walker in front of officers, "I'm going to stab you [expletive]!"
Unless she's a Fremen and has mastered the "Killing Word," that's not attempted murder. I suppose they might be using that statement to establish intent and calling the arson the actual act that could lead to death, but that seems contrived.
A group of 88 Duke professors just demanded prosecutors charge the Duke Lacrosse with rape "just because."
