DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - A woman who authorities said falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape four years ago has been found guilty by a North Carolina jury of child abuse and damaging property. A Durham County jury on Friday convicted 32-year-old Crystal Mangum of contributing to child abuse or neglect. She was also convicted of injury to personal property, and resisting a public officer stemming from a February confrontation with her live-in boyfriend. All the charges were misdemeanors. The jury deadlocked 9-3 on a felony arson charge, and Superior Court Judge Abraham Jones declared a mistrial. Police said Mangum piled her boyfriend's clothing into a bathtub and set it on fire while her three children and two police officers were inside the apartment.
Poster Comment: I read this book when it first came out. If anyone wants a first hand account of political correctness and white guilt, I highly recommend this book. Had the accused kids not come from families with money, they'd be in prison today for rape. The case against them was a lie and the DA who prosecuted it eventually went to jail. it's a great read.
