Crystal Mangum, the woman who falsely accused three Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, was found guilty of second-degree murder today. Mangum stabbed her boyfriend during an argument in 2011. He died 10 days later. Mangum's attorneys had argued she was acting in self-defense against an abusive partner.
A strange, scary coda to the Duke lacrosse rape scandal: Crystal Mangum, the stripper who falsely accused three college lacrosse players of rape, has been charged for stabbing her boyfriend in the chest with "intent to kill." The boyfriend was treated at the Duke University Hospital, the same hospital that treated Crystal when she cried rape. Yesterday's arrest was Crystal's second since the Duke rape scandal; last year, she was sentenced to 88 days in jail for assaulting her previous boyfriend in front of his children, then setting his clothes on fire. This lady wreaks havoc on all who encounter her. [WRAL via Crimesider, image of Crystal in 2008 via AP]
