<p>I still don’t understand why she didn’t face legal charges. She doesn’t need to be selling a memoir, but apologizing to the people whom she hurt.</p>
<p>"The woman who falsely accused three Duke University lacrosse players of raping her is coming out with a memoir in early October, according to a news release on Thursday.</p>
<p>“‘The Last Dance for Grace: The Crystal Mangum Story’ is the only definitive account of the life and struggles of the woman at the center of the Duke Lacrosse case, the alleged accuser,” says a release from Fire! Products Inc., the film studio that is representing her."

<p>How lovely. She’s going to donate $1 from the proceeds of the sale of each book to help battered women. If the book makes any money at all, the proceeds should go to the three wrongly-accused Duke students.</p>
<p>Why get upset at this development? I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the three vindicated students will sue her if this book is ever published, because authoring such a tome, in my opinion, is an indication that she is not as mentally compromised as some have claimed.</p>
<p>She should not profit from having wrongly accused anyone. Those whom she accused incurred a great deal of expense, let alone anguish and disruption to their lives. It is one thing that she wrongly accused them but another to profit from her story. </p>
<p>And yes, one has to wonder about her mental competency if she is capable of authoring a book.</p>
<p>I just read the press release and it claims that Crystal was accused of gold digging when she accused the Duke players and she wants to correct that and tell her real story. OK. But by writing a book that she profits from, she is gaining monetarily. How ironic!</p>
<p>I have to wonder whether the civil statute of limitations has run against Magnum. If so, the thee players won’t be able to sue her for damages. If not, I hope they add her to the list. I would love to see that woman on the stand.</p>
<p>I agree BCEage. She’s going to have to commit a more grevious crime (sad to say) before she faces any REALLY harsh consequences. She’s too pathetic a figure to lock up, things being what they are now.</p>
<p>This is just pathetic! The woman is a liar and gets a free pass due to her mental instability, and what happens? She’s writing some book that will be nothing but “fantastic lies” (to quote David Evans’ original take on her tall tale) I certainly hope that the players sue her for every penny they possibly can–she will be giving them every reason to do so!</p>
<p>In this case, Crystal Gail, the police and the prosecutors all conspired together, but in the end they didn’t get away with it. But ONLY because the accused were able to PROVE their innocence. And proving a negative is very hard thing to do. </p>
<p>Ques.: How many men and boys (and their families) do you think have had their lives ruined under this “*Assumed guilty. Prove your innocence. *” paradigm? </p>
<p>It was recently displayed here in spades. And some of us still don’t forget.</p>
