Abstract:

Sidney Harr has championed the case of Crystal Magnum and former District Attoryney Michael Nifong. Magnum's case drew national attention when she accused the 2006 Duke lacrosse team of raping her after she was hired to dance. Nifong filed charges with the North Carolina Attorney General on her behalf which were later dropped due to insufficient evidence. Now Harr has made it a personal mission to right these wrongs but his defense of Magnum may hurt her defense in her current court case.
