4. Crystal Mangum — Raped by Duke Lacrosse Team But Not For Real
Durham, NC: In 2006, District Attorney Mike Nifong moved heaven and earth to convict the snooty white members of the Duke Lacrosse team that forced themselves on poor Crystal Mangum, the African American exotic dancer hired to entertain them. She told an untruth. The nation was ripped apart, (even more so than usual in some states), Nifong lost his career, and the poor dancer would later allegedly murder her boyfriend in a domestic dispute.
