I posted a while back re: Durham D.A. Mike Nifong's last name becoming a verb...to "Nifong" someone means to zealously prosecute and persecute another for reasons other than justice despite what the evidence may say or the truth of the matter may be. Crystal Gail Mangum is the lying skank who destroyed the reputations of the three Duke lacrosse players accused of raping her last year, and to "Mangum" someone should be defined as falsely and maliciously accusing someone of a crime or action sufficient to destory both their lives and reputations. So let me get this right...this liar "Mangums" three innocent men, and now she will face no criminal charges?
Are you serious?! Let anyone else, especially a WHITE someone else, level false charges of that magnitude, especially against an ethnic minority, and see how fast they are pilloried and lynched. I am with Emperor Misha, Ace, and John Podhoretz on this one...if this lying sow is not to be held civilly or criminally liable for her actions, then she should be named and shamed to such an extent that liars everywhere, of every stripe and gender, should think long and hard before calling the police and making up charges against innocent people. As a criminal defense attorney, I had far too may clients falsely accused by just such women, and they make me sick. I have no sympathy for Ms. Mangum, and she deserves every bit of justice that can be heaped upon her, both in this life and the next.

"I’m with Ace and John Podhoretz, my sympathy does not extend to perjurers destroying people’s lives, no matter what their gender, skin color, income bracket or mental health, and Crystal Gail Mangum has to be shamed.
Crystal Gail Mangum has to be hung out to dry, not only because it looks like it’s the only justice that Crystal Gail Mangum will ever face for having destroyed the names and sacred honor of three completely innocent young men, forcing their families to fight an incredibly expensive and 13 months long legal battle to simply get justice.
No, Crystal Gail Mangum needs to be publicly shamed pour encourager les autres as well. Thanks to Crystal Gail Mangum, future rape victims, real rape victims, will face an even worse uphill battle for justice. Thanks to Crystal Gail Mangum, prosecutors and the general public will be a lot more suspicious of rape victims, real rape victims stepping forward.
And if Crystal Gail Mangum is kept completely free of any consequences of her perjury and malicious, willful acts of evil, future liars like Crystal Gail Mangum will only be encouraged to do the same thing. Those Crystal Gail Mangum wannabes need to know the consequences of doing such a thing, and they need to be scared shitless of it happening to them as well.
Our shield laws came into being out of a humane desire to shield actual victims from public shame, thus making it easier for them to come forward so that the disgusting sexual predators out there can get thrown behind bars where they belong.
They weren’t made to shield lying, thieving, malicious whores from the consequences of their actions.
Lying, thieving, malicious whores like Crystal Gail Mangum. Thatisall."
