About four years ago, a drunken stripper named Crystal Mangum accused several members of the Duke men's lacrosse team of rape.  The accusation was a hoax from the getgo, and evidence that it was a hoax surfaced almost immediately.  This did not stop an appallingly corrupt prosecutor, Mike Nifong, from formally accusing three men he almost surely knew were innocent.   Nifong was in a tough primary race to hold onto his job as District Attorney of Durham, N.C., a liberal community virtually drowning in political correctness.  Apparently Nifong believed that charging three white "jocks" would go over well with primary voters.  

Whether that was correct is a matter of debate.  What is not a matter of debate is that it went over well with a significant portion of the Duke faculty, who dropped the much heralded presumption of innocence like a hot rock in favor of a blanket condemnation of the presumptively guilty (and racist and privileged and thuggish) lacrosse players, not to mention any other non-minority who refused reflexively to genuflect before Those Who Are Sensitive.   The faculty and Duke administration turned on their own team without trial or even remotely reliable evidence (there being none), and terminated the men's lacrosse season.

The North Carolina AG undertook and investigation which showed that the whole episode was cooked up.  Not only were the three accused players innocent; there had never been an attack at all.

Now comes word from AP that Ms. Mangum has continued her storied career.  Today she was arrested for attempted murder and arson, among a few other things.
