She may not have said it.<BR/><BR/>"In a later interview with defense attorneys, Levicy confirmed that she had, in fact, passed along to Himan this diagnosis—based, she said, on her subjective evaluation of the hysterical Mangum’s pain."<BR/>Oops. She confirms it.<BR/><BR/>"On January 10, Wilson and Himan interviewed the SANE nurse—her seventh contact with either the DPD or Nifong’s office since March 16, 2006. At this meeting, Levicy provided three startling new details, each of which propped up Nifong’s new theory of the crime, conformed to her stated view that she had never encountered a woman who lied about being raped, and had passed unmentioned in her March 14 report..."<BR/>Like I believe anything Wilson or Himan say.<BR/><BR/>"In a subsequent interview with defense attorneys, Levicy said that Wilson’s memorandum summarizing her comments “looks right.”"<BR/>Oops. <BR/><BR/>Ok, she's part of the lynch mob too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-91623581987598105242007-06-14T10:33:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:33:00.000-04:00"...in for a penny in for a pound."That pretty muc...<I>"...in for a penny in for a pound."</I><BR/><BR/>That pretty much sums it up for the whole nasty filthy bunch. <BR/><BR/>Just as I thought would happen you have DPD, the lab, Nifong, everyone circling the wagons - because there is no excuse for ANY of them to do what they were doing, attempting to railroad three men they <I>knew were innocent</I>.<BR/><BR/>This case is about far more than Nifong.

The first judge totally ignored everything the defense said, and it took SEVERAL letters and motions on the DNA evidence to get, finally in October an order that was so specific Nifong couldn't find a way out of evading it, he was allowed by the judges to get away w/hiding this evidence for almost SEVEN MONTHS!<BR/><BR/>I think though that after this is all over the second judge is going to sanction him if only for appearances sake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-70572714208983965482007-06-14T10:27:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:27:00.000-04:00I get the feeling that all along this was the majo...I get the feeling that all along this was the major league all start team against a pretty bad high school squad.<BR/><BR/>These lawyers were simply far superior to Nifong and were way ahead of him at every step in preparation for trial.

I think, given her lack of training and her more than likely orientation it is not surprising that when a hysterical, crying shaking woman shows up and is disoriented and rambling, with brusies on her legs, who 'appears' to feel pain when examed that Levicy would conclude she was a rape victim.<BR/><BR/>What I am NOT prepared to give Levicy a pass for is if she was the one who offered the suggestion that maybe when Mangun said her 'attackers' wore no condoms that what she 'really mean't was that she wasn't sure...OR how or if Levicy was going to explain away 'ejaculated in my mouth/thats why my breath smells bad' as really meaning 'I don't know'<BR/><BR/>For this, if true, and if not suggested by Nifong, then Levicy becomes an active part of the conspiracy to change the evidence and facts to fit Nifong's case and not an innocent nurse who made an honest mistake.<BR/><BR/>By January 2007 Levicy had to be aware of Mangum's psych history and history of substance abuse, for her to still try and throw Nifong a bone--if she did--is inexcusable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-35354044915987330972007-06-14T10:20:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:20:00.000-04:00Got this from LS: Crystal was the complainant rega...Got this from LS: Crystal was the complainant regarding the child.<BR/><BR/>Still unclear what this means.

If I were Collin's mom (I have a 11 year old son) I would have such great difficulty restraining myself from driving a stake through Nifong's heart RIGHT NOW.

Focused on his decision to enter into an intentional agreement with Dr. Meehan to withhold exculpatory evidence, the Bar accused Nifong of not only massive ethics violations, but also of repeatedly lying to the court, breaking three state laws, and violating the Constitution.<BR/><BR/>I would say the prosecutors have proved their case already.redcybrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711632526550874078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-28655226855711977422007-06-14T10:17:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:17:00.000-04:00YOu shouldn't even make something like that up it ...YOu shouldn't even make something like that up it isn't funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-90090854129368384342007-06-14T10:13:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:13:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11381497683202091939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-83856625963426752352007-06-14T10:12:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:12:00.000-04:00In the best of all worlds, that would be correct, ...In the best of all worlds, that would be correct, but I doubt it. However, I wonder, everyone on here has been so sure of DUMC being sued, but isn't the negligence and malfeasance of Meehan's company A LOT more serious than that of Levicy?<BR/><BR/>Meehan knew he was doing something that had never been done before, he knew he wasn't following the standard protocols of reporting ALL test results, period. He knew what he was writing about the burdens/privacy stuff in the transparent attempt to stall on all the results was a lie, he knew the defense didn't have the exculpatory DNA evidence and yesterday, he lied about it all.<BR/><BR/>To me, Levicy is a dumb nurse trainee who saw a hysterical woman and assumed she was a rape victim and not a crazy person 'acting out'.<BR/><BR/>Meehn on the other hand purposefully violated the rules and guidelines of his industry and now he lies for Nifong.<BR/><BR/>One, is a subjective opinion, Levicy was wrong and stupid, but believed she had a rape victim on her hands.<BR/><BR/>The other, is pure greed and lying.<BR/><BR/>Maybe Meehan's company is going to get named in a civil suit, they've surely got deep pockets and loads of insurance as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-68573468626768635572007-06-14T10:10:00.000-04:002007-06-14T10:10:00.000-04:00Big, bad Mikey is being taken down by youthful Bra...Big, bad Mikey is being taken down by youthful Brad Bannon.
