Mangum claimed she was afraid for her life and charged with second-degree murder.

After the party, Mangum got into an altercation with another woman hired as a stripper that night, and police were called. Mangum was going to be involuntarily committed to a drug and mental health center and, fearing she would lose her child, falsely claimed she had been raped by Duke students.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; font-family: \u0026quot;Libre franklin\u0026quot;; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin: 24px auto 1.5rem; max-width: 728px; padding: 0px 24px; word-break: break-word;\"\u003EAt the same time, then-Durham County, North Carolina, District Attorney Mike Nifong, who was up for re-election, decided to use Mangum’s allegations to win his re-election despite apparent issues with her claims from the beginning. Nifong even conspired with the director of the DNA lab to withhold DNA evidence that cleared the Duke players of rape and continued to pursue the case, falsely telling the media he had the evidence.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; font-family: \u0026quot;Libre franklin\u0026quot;; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin: 24px auto 1.5rem; max-width: 728px; padding: 0px 24px; word-break: break-word;\"\u003ENifong also pressured Mangum into picking Duke players from a lineup. She picked three randomly – Evans, Finnerty, and Seligmann – and they were charged. Seligmann was able to prove he was not even at the party at the time the rape was alleged to have occurred, providing ATM records and surveillance, as well as cell phone evidence and an affidavit from the taxi driver who drove him that night. His campus card was also swiped at his dorm during the time he was allegedly assaulting Mangum.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; font-family: \u0026quot;Libre franklin\u0026quot;; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin: 24px auto 1.5rem; max-width: 728px; padding: 0px 24px; word-break: break-word;\"\u003EMangum’s story also repeatedly changed throughout the proceedings. On December 22, 2006, Nifong finally dropped the charges after Mangum changed her story yet again. Six days later, the North Carolina bar filed ethics charges against Nifong over how he handled the case, and he was disbarred. He also spent one day in jail for his actions.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp style=\"-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(13, 13, 13); color: #0d0d0d; font-family: \u0026quot;Libre franklin\u0026quot;; font-size: 20px; margin-block: 0px; margin: 24px auto 1.5rem; max-width: 728px; padding: 0px 24px; word-break: break-word;\"\u003EIn early 2007, North Carolina Democratic Gov.
