Duke LAX Accuser Tries To Cash In, Writes Book

Duke LAX Accuser Tries To Cash In, Writes Book

Crystal Mangum, the girl who riled up Durham after accusing three Duke Lacrosse players of rape, is coming out with a tell-all memoir.
 

Now, now, before you get all up in arms, there is some good to come from “The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story.” For one thing, Mangum plans to donate $1 from the sale of each book to aid battered women. For another, well, wait… no that’s really all the good there is.
 

The book’s co-author, Vincent Clark, of course praises the novel and its subject. ABC11.com reports:

"It is the only definitive account of the life and struggles of the woman at the center of the Duke Lacrosse case, the alleged accuser," said Clark in a press release. "Were it not for the Duke Lacrosse Case, she likely would be described as a bright, young woman from Durham, North Carolina, who has had a difficult life."

Not to knock her "difficult life" but let's tell it like it is. What he means is, if she hadn’t falsely accused three young men of a horrendous crime, ruining their lives and causing two to transfer, and if she hadn’t created such a mess that the then-district attorney was disbarred, and if she hadn’t incited heightened racial tensions in the area… THEN she would probably be considered a bright, young woman.

 

Right.
