It seems a fitting coda to the entire sordid affair and makes those who championed this lying criminal's cause against the innocent appear that much smaller.

This was never about rape; it was about an effort by campus leftists to prove how bad racism was at Duke by any means necessary including lying, smearing, exaggerating, and ultimately, denying reality. The Durham police, and of course, Nifong, played along for local political purposes.

A North Carolina woman who stirred national headlines when she accused three Duke University student-athletes of rape is now herself accused of murder, a county law enforcement official said Monday.

Crystal Mangum, 32, was charged Monday with murder, five days after her boyfriend succumbed to stabbing-related injuries at a Durham, North Carolina, hospital, according to Candy Clark, a spokeswoman for the Durham County District Attorney's Office. She also is now facing two felony charges of larceny.

Prosecutors reassessed the charges against Mangum after the death of Reginald Daye at Duke University Hospital on Wednesday.
