Snapped Behind Bars Crystal Mangum confence why She Kill Her Boyfriend… full story below ๐๐๐
Crystal Mangum is currently behind bars after being convicted of murdering her then-boyfriend, Reginald Daye. But she says sheโs being punished for a crime she didnโt commit. In this exclusive clip from the Sept. 8 episode of Oxygenโs true crime series Snapped: Behind Bars, Mangum shares her side of the story
Mangum, a former exotic dancer, is currently behind bars at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women. Sheโs serving a minimum of 14 years after being convicted in 2013 of killing Daye, her live-in boyfriend, in 2011. But in a December 2023 jailhouse interview, Mangum insisted she was innocent.
โI decided to do this interview because I want people to know the truth about Reginald Dayeโs death,โ Mangum says in the clip from Snapped: Behind Bars, a new series that revisits crimes featured on Oxygenโs long-running series Snapped.
โItโs frustrating to know that Iโm sitting in jail for a crime that not only I didnโt commit, but a crime that doesnโt exist,โ she added
Mangum might insist that the crime of which she was found guilty didnโt happen, but police and prosecutors say otherwise.
In April 2011, Daye, a 46-year-old tradesman from Durham, North Carolina, showed up at his neighbor and nephewโs home with a deep stab wound to his chest. Daye was taken to the hospital, and doctors initially expected him to survive. But 10 days later he died. However, before his death, he said Mangum was the person who stabbed him
