<p>On the contrary. Authoring such a tome indicates that the woman is totally out of her mind—delusional, in fact. Who in the world does she think will buy it? She would actually have to pay me hundreds of dollars to read a copy borrowed from the library:rolleyes:</p>
<p>…"In all actuality, who in their right mind would buy such a book? "…</p>
<p>The same ones that bought OJ’s book???</p>
<p>I don’t think this book will ever come out.
The lawsuits will come fast and furious.
The purpose of this book is for somebody to make money.
When they realize they not only aren’t going to make any but stand to lose a lot, they will drop it pretty quickly. If the book contains the same lies that Crystal told before, it seems it would be a pretty obvious and clear cut libel case, especially since the three were declared innocent by the Attorney General of North Carolina.</p>
<p>I imagine that her story will not focus on her accusations of the Duke players but on her tough upbringing, any abuse she may have experienced, and other aspects of her life. Those things will, presumably, explain how she came to live the life she currently lives. All of which is very sad, but nothing I want to read about. If someone has had an awful upbringing, I’m interested in reading about it if they have overcome those challenges – Oprah, for example. But just to hear a sad, sad tale – not my cup of tea.</p>
<p>She’s trying to cash in on her 15 minutes of fame. The Duke players are too smart, and their lawyers are too smart, to let her get away with this.</p>
<p>Perhaps the Reverend Jesse’s love child(to put it too nicely) could serve as ghostwriter?</p>
<p>When this fantasy first broke, I stated that it will someday become a Lifetime movie because of all the sensational drama. (race, class, sex, etc.) It looks like the co-author is involved somehow with some film company. Gee. What a surprise. Not only will they try to publish a book, but the sleazy movie is probably already conceived. :eek:</p>
<p>sokkermom, I don’t mind books or movies on this case. But I do mind Ms. Mangum profitting from her part in this. She wasn’t proscecuted for her lies but if she continues the lies in a book, I can see lawsuits being valid. I believe if you are imprisoned, you are not allowed to profit from your misdeeds. She wasn’t prosecuted but the same standard should apply.</p>
