Duke lacrosse accuser convicted of murder

DURHAM – A jury found Crystal Mangum guilty of second-degree murder Friday for stabbing and killing her boyfriend, Reginald Daye, in 2011.

After Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway sentenced Mangum to 14 years and two months to 18 years in prison, deputies immediately led her handcuffed out of the courtroom.

Mangum’s attorney, Daniel Meir, said she will appeal.

In 2006, Mangum accused three Duke lacrosse players of raping her at a party.

The charges were later dismissed after the evidence did not back up Mangum’s story.

Her accusations tore apart the Duke lacrosse program and resulted in the disbarment of District Attorney Mike Nifong. More
