Former Duke Accuser Charged with Murder

 Crystal Magnum (yes, that's her real name) made national headlines years ago by accusing some Duke lacrosse players of raping her. The false accusation ruined the team's year:

The scandal, however, forced the cancellation of the men's lacrosse season that year and the resignation of team coach Mike Pressler. It also led to widespread criticism of then-Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, who was eventually disbarred for his handling of the case.

Now Ms. Magnum has been charged with murder after her boyfriend died of wounds she inflicted upon him. He died of stab wounds five days ago.

Crystal Mangum, 32, was charged Monday with murder, five days after her boyfriend succumbed to stabbing-related injuries at a Durham, North Carolina, hospital, according to Candy Clark, a spokeswoman for the Durham County District Attorney's Office. She also is now facing two felony charges of larceny.

Yikes.
