It's Time, Crystal.
It's time, Crystal. Time to grow up. Time to acknowledge that you can't go through life using other people. It's time to stop the destruction of others' lives to shield yourself from the consequences of your own poor choices. It's time to think of the Babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and lying in a manger. It's time to reflect on the faces of your own two children. Time to palm your belly and feel your coming third. It's time to see them on trial for their very lives because a fellow human being with a dead conscience chose to spew fantastic lies about them in a hazy grab at self-preservation. It's time to put yourself in the shoes of Mrs. Evans. And Mrs. Finnerty. And Mrs. Seligmann. It's time, Crystal. Time to reclaim your humanity. Time to find your conscience. Time to exhibit character, honor, integrity. It's time to stand before the cameras and admit to the fantastic lies so clearly already proven. Time to stop hiding as Cousin Clyde lies on your behalf some more. Time to tell those cameras all about Mr. Nifong. And Mr. Wilson. And Mr. Gottlieb. And Mr. Himan. And Big C. And Mr. Baker. And Mayor Bell. And "Doctor" Olatoye. It's time for the truth, Crystal. You may even avoid a prison sentence. Hell, your pals at Fox have already all but annointed you Nifong's "victim." Once you raise your hand, swear your oath, and lie from the witness box in open court, however, you will have comitted a felony. Become a convicted felon, go away. Go far, far away. For a good long time. Has Mr. Nifong made that clear to you? Think of the children, Crystal. Yours. And Mrs. Evans'. And Mrs. Finnerty's. And Mrs. Seligmann's.
It's time.

Crystal.... it time you face the fact, there is not going to be any big pay day in this hoax for you. I am sure your family was seeing dollars signs, and Nifong was seeing political success... but there is nothing awaiting you but shame. Fess up to what you have done...start the New Year with a clear conscious.
This is a good one. A really good one.
My guess is that Crystal was trying to keep from getting arrested -- or at least committed. One thing led to another (and another, and another). Without that original N&O story, who knows what might have happened, but here we are.
Not only Crystal, but a lot of other people need to 'fess up, too. Yesterday was Sunday, but there still is time to confess.
Well....well....done.....thank you.
That took balls Mike..
Great post. I hope she reads here and I hope it works..

Way to go NDLax84!
Excellent NDLax. Its time that we stop this nonsense about rape shield protection for Crystal. Rape shield laws were designed to protect rape victims, not false accusers.
I also doubt that Nifong, Gottlieb, or anyone else has explained to Crystal that as of now, she has only filed a false police report which is not a significant offense from what I understand. If she commits perjury to falsely accuse three people of crimes that will land them in prison for decades, she will be on her way to prison.
Thanks.
I would have been willing to cut Crystal some slack had this nonsense been confined to a false report, made while she was drunk and high on drugs.
However, don't forget the interview she had with the News & Observer reporters in which she laid out all of this detail, every bit of it a lie -- and the N&O scarfed it down like it was a gourmet meal.
That story, more than anything else, was the starting gun for this thing. Yes, I blame the N&O for what it did, but Crystal was the one who was giving the lies that night.
Great post and strong stuff. Her current track would certainly appear to be leading towards a stretch of hard time in a bad place, and/or premature death.
Let's hope she can get her bearings and some sense of reality about the lack of the big payday, and to then give Nifong up in order to get clear of the massive train wreck that is about to happen to the Durham Hoaxsters. . . sic semper tryannis
Readers,
I have deleted several comments voicing nothing other than derogatory opinions of the false accuser's appearance. I did not post her picture to prompt such bile. I posted her picture because she is not a sexual assault victim, but the perpetrator of a criminal fraud against innocent individuals. Let's try to remember why we support Collin, Reade and Dave in the first place, and hold ourselves to a commentary standard that seeks to positively advance that just cause.
Thank you.
Remember Crystal saying that her $2,000. was missing? Not a bad weekend's haul for what the DNA has shown her to be. So, is the IRS going to get this liar prostitute for income tax evasion? What about the US government agencies who give her and her children various forms of financial assistance? She deserves jail time for defrauding the government.
Great, and long overdue, post.
I second the comment regarding her earnings. Is the IRS going to have a look at her income?
And I would add, will child services intervene when her next child is born? It is hard to imagine this viciously unstable person being a fit mother for another child.

A face only a mother could love!
The face that launched a thousand lies...
NDLax, you are very wise and courageous to post the picture of the lying false accuser...it is beyond insulting to me that this woman has been afforded *any* anyonimity (especially now that the gig is up, so to speak) that legitimate rape victims are rightfully accorded. She deserves publicity, and scorn, for what she has done these past nine months...her silence is DEAFENING...she not only started the lies, she allows the lies to stand and grow...I truly hope she is made to pay for the GREAT damage she has done...and a GAG alert...ESPN is talking about the top stories of 2006...I'm half watching, half-cleaning up the colossal mess that is my post Christmas house...#2 or 3 is the Duke non Rape story...the teaser to the story is framed as, "race and class", or some such NONSENSE...time to change the tone of this story, ESPN...it was the lying false accuser, by injecting racism into her fantastic allegations, who made this about race...FIRST AND FOREMOST...it was the MSM and Nifong and his henchmen who took that angle and ran away with it...it's time for all these people to start to set the record straight, and clean up their messes...
$400 ???????
Talk about fraud!
WOW, she looks like cousin jackie.
She does look like Cousin Jakki. This poor sick woman just wanted to get out of the drunk tank - I believe many positive results will come from this case. To name a few Death of PC, shouting racist has no meaning any longer, closer questioning of DA legal tactics and DOJ have a lot to answer for being cowards.
I am disappointed thatBarry Scheck did not weigh in on this injustice, but with Brad Bannonn we do not need him.
I have been waiting for a lawyer who represents the accuser to come forward with a statement and surprised that none have. Either she never sought a lawyer, rejected offers, or is too stupid to reaize she needs one. However, it seems she is totally under the control of Nifong. While her family has not been able to reach her, Nifong has been in touch as has his assistant. If the heat gets too hot, she could turn on Nifong as fast as she can come up with a story about being raped (no time at all). As the pressure builds I think Nifong will try to make it all her fault and she will turn on him. It will make for great TV. Can't wait.
Navy veteran...CRIPES! What was her job, the anchor?
have to agree with 2:00: ugliness of the accuser has been used as a defense at trial--and this woman is extremely unattractive
she is a rapist, and should be locked up for at lease 10 years
Crystal is a victim. Everyone knows the lacrosse players raped her, and now the white power structure is getting them off. She served her country and now her country turns their back on her after she is raped. The players raped her, and now the white power structure rapes her.
Damn!!!
I felt like confessing, and I don't recall anything I've done wrong (recently)! ;)
I'm still skeptical that she has been kept from her family, anon at 4:04...we've heard that assertion from her pathetic cousin, and I for one will need confirmation from someone *other* than this wreck of a woman's family, before I believe that! I'm also not convinced that she is under the control of Nifong...I think she is just playing the waiting game, thinking about when the white boys will pay her...I think she has in the past deferred to Fong with regard to her actions, because she thinks (or rather, thought) that he will get the job done...now, however, unless she is totally NOT paying ANY attention, she might be starting to feel real pressure that her fantastic lies are about to explode right in her face...I hope she is suffering from many sleepless nights, and will soon be backing out...it would be the best thing for her, unless she relishes the thought of being crucified on the witness stand.
she's a ruthless felon
question: who's financing her hideout? jesse?
One small correction: Crystal's previous convictions were all misdemeanors, bizarre as that is in view of what she actually did.
they were felonies, but bc she's black and stupid, thus misde
affirmative action has spread into every aspect of society
Crystal,
If you are reading this blog, the gig is up. The MSM are jumping off the S.S. Nifong too fast for even us assiduous bloggers to keep up. Don't listen to Cash, he's only it for himself and he doesn't speak for integrity. First thing Wednesday morning call Professor Coleman at Duke. Coleman is an honorable man who understands this case would have ended a long time ago but for the miscreant Nifong. He'll find you appropriate legal representation which you'll surely need.
Crystal first was charged with felonies, but they were pled down to misdemeanors. That is not uncommon.
However, Crystal this time has committed a number of felonies. However, it would be up to Durham County to indict her, and I doubt that will happen there.
Glad you are doing this...it is time and I hope the MSM follows suit.
I have been posting to several blogs for the last few days asking when everyone would start using her name and photo - all the while feeling like a heel. Most of the posters - myself included - have been focused on Nifong and his abuse of his position. The false accusation would have been flushed out quickly if Nifong had done his job properly. That said, I came to believe that Crystal was not a helpless pawn in Nifong's evil scheme, but an active participant who provided specific and sordid fabrications based on her vast personal experience. And I started wondering if maybe it was not patronizing to NOT give her some credit (?) for her role in this fraud. As in "she is too helpless, poor, drug-addicted, female, alcohol-impaired or black to be responsible for her actions".
A local case where a woman screamed rape when her husband caught her with her lover reminded me that women can and do use rape accusation as a weapon or defense - according to some studies up to 60% of the time. And our rape shield laws literally shield false accusers from any consequences while the accused are publically humiliated. Either both parties should be enititled to privacy until the case is disposed of, or neither party should be.
I wrote a letter to the N&O in April/May in response to a Lynne Duke column that was particularly offensive and biased against the Duke men. Pictures of Crystal (somw with her face blurred and some purported to be her but not verified) were easily found on the web and I postulated that the boys were expecting the sort of stripper one sees in the movies...(clean-looking, attractive - perhaps with that Hollywood twist - a "heart of gold")...and were appalled at what they got. Was any disagreement really about the length of the performance or the appearance of the dancers - especially a dancer who tripped and fell she was so out of it? There was a desperate need on the part of certain people to believe that Crystal appealed to these men on any level....as a sex worker, a dancer, or as a representative of black women lusted after by slave owners of the past. The truth is more likely that they were repulsed by her - her appearance, her condition, perhaps her attitude.
Crystal's picture and name being publicized will make painfully obvious the certainty that this case probably has a "hell hath no fury" element to it. And also "in her wildest dreams" - dreams we know Crystal was happy to elaborate on in great detail for the police and Nifong.
The powers that be seem to be waiting to act....waiting for someone else to act first, some circumstance to force action, whatever...while each day of this must be agony for the men and their families. That alone is reason enough to make public the name and face of the false accuser. Maybe that will push the right buttons with someone, somewhere and bring this rank fraud to a quick end.
Leave her alone you bunch of loser thugs. Let the boys handle their problems on their own. Oh forgot, their three loser cowards. They should get their chicken shit asses to Iraq like real men.
I hope they all get at least 15 years
each in jail and find out what it is like to get it up the butt.
I think most people here give Crystal far too much credit. Rest assured; she's no criminal mastermind. She's simply an uneducated, unskilled, and unstable woman turning tricks to get from one bender to the next. When not drunk or hammered on Flexeril, she's looking to get that way. Most of the time, I imagine, she's probably not even aware of what day of the week it is. Most people will find this terribly disappointing. The public mind expects great evil to be worked by great evildoers -- malevolent geniuses -- but such is almost never the case. The ranks of the criminal class are filled with all manner of fools, incompetents, and mental defectives, and nothing leads me to expect anything different in the Duke Hoax.

7:46 Good advice. I hope she calls Professor Coleman. In my view, this is a poor mentally ill woman. Nifong took her simple desire to stay out of the drunk tank and used her to the max.
She's a bum. She deserves to be tossed onto the trash pile of Loserville.
steveMD,
right on, brother
u got it
a detective friend once said to me: whenever i arrive at a crime scene, i look around for the stupidest person in the room and start asking questions--lol
jc
One poster, a Crystal-lite, urged everyone of us thugs to leave her alone and let the boys take care of themselves.
Sorry, 'the boys' weren't left alone. Besides being targeted by a corrupt DA and slimed by an over-priced under performing 'sex worker,' they had to deal with the likes of Jesse Jackson, The Black Panthers, the seditious NY Times, the Group of 88, and a sniveling coward of a university president. They need all the help they can get to prevail against this mob of evil clowns.
Amid the hoopla, we see, even on this thread, the usual cries of white racism. Keep it up. You may succeed in making it respectable again, and hardly anybody wants that.
some of you are racist why the comment about her being stupid and black. i think she is a liar but that has nothing to do with her beign black. the boys were not racist but some racists are using this case to air their racist ideas
ND - The photo lineup, is it just me or does the 4th player, I believe Matt, but from the video does he look sort of like Collin? I am wondering if that is why she picked him, b/c he looked like Collin a little and then was more sure of her choose of Collin when he came up...As he comes from the wealthiest family of the three.
OMG and this picture has been air-brushed.
I don't think Matt Wilson looks like Collin at all.
As for Crystal, I hope she's held accountable in some way for all the destruction she has helped cause. It's definitely time for her to cough up the truth.
Dogs will eat just about anything. there's no telling what Crystal might cough up along with the truth!
You all realize that Nifong has hung her out to dry, don't you? By dropping the rape charges he has made this case a "he said/she said" case. His whole kidnapping/assault case will now be based on HER testimony from the stand....and she will be grilled like a flounder. SHE will come out of this as the liar and The Fong will blame it on her to save face. As much as I dislike her for the false accusations, The Fong is the one that should bear the punishment.
They should both bear the consequences of their reprehensible conduct. As for Nifong hanging her out to dry in open court, he'd be a fool to do so. Why? Be sure to read Bill Anderson's coming piece, "Open Letter to Mike Nifong," tomorrow at Lew Rockwell.
carolina sucks, with all due respect, this has ALWAYS been a "he said, she said" case! Nifong's *never* had anything but this trashy, lying woman's "word"...he never had ONE SPECK of evidence...I agree that if he dared to put her on the stand, she'd be grilled like a flounder...she won't even fare well with Fong asking the questions, just imagine what will happen to her once Cheshire and Co. get started with her (her head will explode)...he's had sh*t from day one, dropping the rape charges simply confirms that he's always known that he was perpetrating a huge dog-and-pony show...
Actually, with Nifong being hit with the summons from the Bar, I doubt Miss Crystal is going to have the chance to testify. My guess is that charges will be gone within a week.
I agree Bill...I really can't see any scenario where these charges *don't* get dropped...I think everyone who had a hand in this persecution are panicked down there in Durm...
wow..a blog that points blame where it should..the accuser..thanks.

Crystal is a victim. Everyone knows the lacrosse players raped her,...
What I'm hearing is that you are saying the lacrosse players don't have DNA.
Hey 'everyone' used to think the earth was flat. Doesn't mean a thing.
Use your brain, fool.
The Dec. 28 ethics charges are expected to be expanded when the state bar's grievance committee meets again Jan. 18. Like a grand jury, the committee meets periodically; the current ethics charges stem from its most recent meeting in October and cover public statements Nifong made about the case last March and April. At its next meeting, the committee will deal with revelations from a Dec. 15 court hearing in which the state's DNA expert admitted he and Nifong agreed to keep secret from the defense early DNA results showing no Duke lacrosse player could be implicated in an attack upon one of two exotic dancers hired for the March 14 house party
Crystal should count her blessings, and visit Nifong in prison once in a while.
You're a sickie, so are your parents for not raising you right. You all deserve each other, as do all of your supporters. You deserve jail time. You are shit.
I just have a question... What about the NAACP they are just as much to blame as Crystal,and Nifong? If you look at the Mike Vick case the NAACP wants us to wait before we judge him. With Crystal the NAACP had these boys convicted before they went to trial. I think we need to face the facts about racism. I think it goes both ways and until we wake up it will not stop. I also feel the NAACP is a problem and needs to be stopped from treating other races badly. We are not all perfect and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) needs to be held accountable as well for their wrong doing.
