DURHAM - Mangum, 31, known as the accuser in the Duke lacrosse case, was arrested after police say she set her apartment on fire and tried to kill her boyfriend around midnight Wednesday while her three young children were in the home. She is in the Durham County jail in lieu of $1 million bail. Mangum is accused of scratching, punching and throwing things at her boyfriend, Milton Walker. She also took Walker's clothes, and with everyone still in the home, placed them in a bathtub and lit them on fire, according to arrest warrants. Light smoke was coming from the home when firefighters arrived. The fire was contained to the bathroom, and the apartment sustained heavy smoke damage. She faces charges of attempted first-degree murder, five counts of first-degree arson, three counts of misdemeanor child abuse, resisting arrest, identity theft, communicating threats, assault and battery, and injury to personal property. Her criminal past includes multiple driving infractions and a 2003 conviction for assault on a government official. She served 60 days in jail and two years' probation on the assault charge.
This chick from the Duke lacrosse rape scandal is fighting her way back into the news these days in a blaze of glory, pardon the pun. Turns out she went all Lisa Left Eye Lopez and lit her boyfriend's house on fire. I wonder how she is gonna spin this one? Probably gonna act like her kids were taking a bath in lighter fluid while smoking cigars and shit just kinda went up. Oops. Not my fault.
But on a side note, I'm gonna defend her on the murder charge. Throwing things at somebody doesn't constitute attempted murder unless they are tomahawks. If you wanna murder someone you unplug their carbon monoxide detector like a regular person. After that its just a matter of time.
Thanks to Motay for the tip
