Crystal Gale Magnum (pictured), the infamous Duke Lacrosse Accuser, has just seen her fortunes turn for the worse: Reginald Daye, the 46-year-old boyfriend of Magnum, died Wednesday from wounds he sustained after Magnum allegedly stabbed him.
A few weeks ago, Magnum was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill for reportedly stabbing Daye repeatedly in the torso.
The upshot of this incident could be a sad and unfortunate ending to Magnum's string of oddly violent behavior: Magnum will probably face murder charges soon.
Daye, who lived with Magnum, was said to be very excited about his relationship with the former topless dancer:
"I mean he was excited," Daye's cousin said. "He was like, 'Man, guess who I'm dating now.' He was excited, but I told him, Man, you know her background. Be careful."
Magnum, who has been in custody since the stabbing, is being held on $300,000 bond, but she has been acting up since last year.
After setting her then-boyfriend Milton Walker's clothes on fire while police were on the scene, Magnum was arrested last February. Soon after, Magnum held a press conference, attempting to prove her innocence and then was later convicted of misdemeanor child abuse and damaging property.
As I wrote recently, Magnum's spiral downward actually seemed to have occurred long before she accused three Duke University lacrosse players of raping her at a party, where she stripped.
And with such lawless behavior, Magnum doesn't appear to be giving a thought to her children.
Even though none of her kids were older than the age of 10, they were forced to call 911 for a domestic violence incident and then watch on as their mother lost control and burnt Walker's clothes in the tub.
And where were the children when she stabbed Daye? Did they witness the violence? Each time she goes to jail -- she spent 88 days for her last infraction -- who do they stay with? Who will they stay with once she goes down for murder?
See Magnum has already made her bed and now she will have to sleep in it, but the children didn't ask to be here. Who is paying attention to their needs?
Only God knows.
Watch the case here:
