⚠️ SENSITIVITY WARNING: Listener discretion is advised — this episode includes details that may be disturbing to some audiences.Nearly 20 years after the March 13, 2006 Duke Lacrosse alleged rape scandal, we revisit the case that gripped the nation.At the center was Crystal Mangum, whose accusations against three members of the Duke University men’s lacrosse team sparked a media firestorm. In December 2024, Mangum told podcaster Kat dePasqualle she gave “false testimony” in the case.This episode unpacks the scandal, revisits insights from a past interview for Wives with Knives, and includes a January 2026 prison interview conducted just before Mangum’s February 27, 2026 release for an unrelated conviction.Now that she has been released, we examine what this case means nearly two decades later — and why it still matters.🔔 Next episode drops Tuesday March 10th...🔔 Subscribe for More True Crime This episode is made possible by ‪⁠ Ventura Law ⁠ | The Accident Law Firm__________________________________Listen on your audio platforms :⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amazon Music⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow along on social :⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Find your hosts:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Casey Jordan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dr. Colleen Butler-Sweet ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#TrueCrime #crystalmangum #dukelacrosse #dukeuniversity #CriminalAppeal #CrimePodcastCriminal Appeal is sponsored by Ventura Law, The Accident Law Firm.
