DURHAM —Jury selection began Tuesday in the murder trial of Crystal Mangum, charged in the 2011 stabbing death of her boyfriend, Reginald Daye.

Durham County Superior Court Judge Paul Ridgeway denied a defense motion to delay the trial.

In 2010, Duke lacrosse accuser Crystal Mangum was charged with attempting to set her boyfriend on fire. The following year, she was charged with the stabbing death of her boyfriend (a different one, I hope). That trial has now come to a conclusion.

DURHAM — Crystal Mangum was convicted Friday of second-degree murder in the death of boyfriend Reginald Daye and sentenced to 14-18 years in prison.

After the verdict, members of Daye’s family wept, but most said they were satisfied.

Mangum was charged with first-degree murder in the April 2011 stabbing death of Daye, and could have drawn a life sentence if convicted of that charge.

The jury of five women and seven men also could have convicted her of manslaughter.
