His explanation? That the CGM and the J4N'ers disclosed priveleged attorney-client communications that tipped off prosecuters to her potential defense strategy. At a news conference yesterday, Harr stated that "the truth shall set [CGM] free". He also publically stated that CGM's victim, Reginald Daye, was murdered by Duke Medical Center, and that Daye's autopsy report was fabricated.<br /><br />Seriously, I don't know what these people are smoking, but their actions seem like they could be interpreted as obstruction of justice. Publishing Daye's medical records in a public forum is certainly against federal law (HIPPA), and I have to think that stating that DMC and the ME's office are guilty of murder, conspiracy, and falsification of legal documents amounts to defamation.<br /><br />The ironic thing is that these so-called "supporters" have actually set back CGM's case by months at least, and guaranteed that she will stay in jail longer. Who is going to draw the short straw and get appointed as her attorney now? Will she be able to obtain any kind of effective counsel with Harr and et al up the posterior of whoever is defending her?<br /><br />With friends like Harr, who needs enemies?Mark Orgelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658616691519958797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-42038122923705266862012-04-18T06:34:30.565-04:002012-04-18T06:34:30.565-04:00Anonymous @ 4/16/12 11:31 AM:

He has come up with a really far fetched hypothesis as to what happened on the night of 13/14 March, 2006, namely:<br /><br />There were unidentified, non LAX players at the party. They were the ones who raped Crystal. LAX players knew who they were but covered up for them even after Mike Nifong wrongfully indicted and prosecuted three of their teammates.<br /><br />Kenhyderal offers as evidence to back up this hypothesis 1) Crystal alleged she was raped and 2)Kilgo told him that an anonymous Lacrosse player told him Crystal had been raped.<br /><br />Kilgo, who once posted on J4N but who has since disappeared, insisted he had more knowledge about the Lacrosse party than any living person. Whenever challenged to back up his claims, he always backed down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-3789206853502888692012-04-12T21:06:21.924-04:002012-04-12T21:06:21.924-04:00Is Ken Edwards a Communist?Is Ken Edwards a Communist?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-35101357809084002872012-04-12T10:28:26.003-04:002012-04-12T10:28:26.003-04:00The most amazing thing about this is how Harr is c...The most amazing thing about this is how Harr is complaining about media distortions regarding the case against Mangum, and is decrying the presence of 2 contradictory autopsy reports, claiming that at least one was deliberately falsified.

This will go to the continuing damages that Duke and Durham will have to pay. My guess -- this is only speculation -- is that the justice4nifong site got 4 hits in December (all Mike Nifong), 1 in January (again, Mike Nifong), and 0 in February and March. To get the attention he craves for his ravings, Harr now is forced to commit the crimes of barratry and the unlicensed practice of law. <br /><br />*******************<br /><br />The local newspapers are finally doing a better job of describing the Crystal Mangum/Mike Nifong Hoax. Here is the Herald-Sun reporting on Harr's latest crazy:<br /><br />"Nifong was the prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse case, in which Mangum accused three players of raping her after they hired her as a stripper for their party. The N.C. attorney general eventually declared the players innocent; Nifong was forced to resign his post as district attorney and he later was disbarred."<br /><br />And here is WRAL.com:<br /><br />"In March 2006, Mangum claimed three white players on the lacrosse team trapped her inside a bathroom at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., where she was performing as a stripper at a team party, and raped and sexually assaulted her.<br /><br />Her story about the incident was so inconsistent that Attorney General Roy Cooper later declared the players innocent, saying there was no credible evidence against them."<br /><br />Both publications use the term "innocent," which is a nice surprise, and WRAL goes on to note that there was zero credible evidence against the boys. <br /><br />The problem I have with their reporting is that the Herald Sun gives the driest reading of what happened -- without placing any blame on Mangum or Nifong -- even though they were the major malefactors and are the reason Harr couldn't contain his crazy in this instance. <br /><br />Additionally, WRAL implies that the case against the innocent students was thrown out because of a lack of credible evidence and inconsistent stories from Mangum. While that is true, it is not the real reason the North Carolina Attorney General found the boys innocent. It was the reason he found the boys innocent ONCE HE GOT THE CASE. <br /><br />We have to remember that without Nifong being caught red-handed hiding exculpatory evidence, the boys would've faced trial even though there was zero credible evidence of their guilt and even though Mangum came up with 10 to 15 different stories.

That seems very intuitive since it would be unreasonable for a person to ask a second person -- who they knew not to be a lawyer -- to act as a lawyer. <br /><br />Moreover, Mangum's court-appointed lawyer is already drawing the noose around Harr's neck with the statements that he knew nothing of the motions and that Mangum didn't authorize them.

Nifong to Cline to Harr seems like a natural progression, like the numbers 2, 4, 6, 10, 16 and 26. <br /><br />I'm glad the state bar is looking into the matter of Harr's assistance, as there appears to be some legal issues. For instance, in North Carolina, it seems that barratry has been codified as follows:<br /><br />"N.C.G.S. § 84-38 remains in effect, and reads in pertinent part:<br /><br /> It shall be unlawful for any person . . . to solicit or procure through solicitation either directly or indirectly, any legal business whether to be performed in this State or elsewhere ...."<br /><br />Daimler Chrysler Corp. v. Kirkhart, No. COA00-1370, N.C. Appeals (2002). Mangum's attorney claims that Mangum did not direct the filing of the motions. There are phone logs and visitor's logs that are kept regarding a prisoner in Mangum's situation. These might tell a different story. If not "direction" on the part of Mangum, then perhaps "solicitation" on the part of Harr. The actual barratry statute provides this additional, relevant bit:<br /><br />"Any person, firm, corporation or association of persons violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.<br /><br />The council of the North Carolina State Bar is hereby authorized and empowered to investigate and bring action against persons charged with violations of this section and the provisions as set forth in G.S. 84‑37 shall apply."<br /><br />In addition, North Carolina has an "unlawful practice of law" statute, codified at N.C.G.S. Secs 84-4 et seq., which provides, in relevant part: <br /><br /> "[I]t shall be unlawful for any person ... except active members of the Bar of the State of North Carolina admitted and licensed to practice as attorneys‑at‑law, to appear as attorney or counselor at law in any action or proceeding before any judicial body ... to maintain, conduct, or defend the same, except in his own behalf as a party thereto; ... or to prepare legal documents, or as being engaged in advising or counseling in law or acting as attorney or counselor‑at‑law, or in furnishing the services of a lawyer or lawyers; and it shall be unlawful for any person ... except active members of the Bar, for or without a fee or consideration,..."<br /> <br />Looks like our next Durham County District Attorney is already in some hot water.

I can just imagine Mike sitting in his kitchen, complaining about how he is the only DA ever disbarred in NC. Harr then talks about the PAPEN group (protect all prosecutors except Nifong) that seems to control the entire Durham county justice system. Why does this happen? No doubt, says Nifong, because Rae Evans, who once worked at CBS (for all of ten years!) is the most powerful woman in the world. Now Rae has trained her sights on poor Crystal. What can we do about all this? Clearly, we have to get Crystal a change of venue, preferably all the way to Canada. So Sidney Harr does Mike's bidding and writes these briefs, even if it's likely to get him in hot water with the law.guiowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11904401455585682885noreply@blogger.com
