"Cornell 7" Lawyer Speaks Out, Plus Bombshell New Texts From "Jane Doe," and Kevin Reddington's Bizarre Tactic | Ep. 1410

27:15Is that your understanding? I mean, again, it's a bit hard for me to speak to. I know that when my client was involved earlier in the evening at the earlier end of these events, she was not incapacitated as far as we saw through all the testimony, her own testimony included, as well as the evidence. So how long did the whole thing go on? How many hours did this happen over? The alleged event we're talking about, I believe. Yeah. So she says that she arrived to the house, I think, around 11 o 'clock and left sometime after about 5.45 or 6 a.m. Okay. Because her roommate, according to this New York Times report on the Title IX proceeding, says she didn't get back home until 11 a.m.

28:01that morning. But she, do you know, is that when she left the Chi-Fi house? Because she said she fell asleep for a time. Yeah, she may have fallen asleep for some time after the last sexual encounter that she had and left later that morning. I don't recall if it was 11 o 'clock. That could be right. I just don't recall exactly. Okay. So there were, as I read the complaint and the six-page statement, the excerpts that we've been given, et cetera, it looks to me like there were three sexual interludes that she had in the course of that time. There was the first one, which I think was with Matt and this other guy, number two.

28:42and then there was a second one which involved Matt and your client and then there was a third one later in the evening. Is that correct? That sounds correct. Okay so what you're saying is you feel very satisfied that she had capacity when she was with your client. You're not going to speak to what her status was or how she was on the third interlude. Correct. Okay and they have separate counsel, those young men? Yes. You only represent Lopes? Yes. Okay. And so does Lopes admit to drug use that night? No, he didn't use any drugs that night. Okay. So she's accusing him, I think, I think she's accusing all seven of them, excuse me, of snorting ketamine off of her, quote, perfect body.

29:34He says that's not true? That is not true. Okay. And did he do one of the hair follicle tests like Scott Kretschmar did to prove that he did not take ketamine? I don't believe so. I think Scott K. was the only one who did that. Okay. But it was not, he wasn't found guilty of it, I guess. Is that the way to phrase it at the Title IX hearing? He, sorry, he being Scott or my client? Your client. Yeah. Lopes. Yeah. Sorry. No, I believe the hearing panel had found that he wasn't involved in the use of the academy that night. OK, so what was he? Is it is found guilty the right word? I mean, what was he?

30:16Found responsible. What did they say he did, the Title IX panel? He was found responsible for some violations of their policy. I don't know that I want to go into too much detail on that. Okay. There is a remarkable report in Unheard today, the reporting by our friend Sarab Amari, who spoke with the lawyer representing this other defendant, Scott Ketchmark. And that lawyer tells Unheard that during the proceeding, at least during Scott's portion, I don't know what your experience was, the chief investigator for the Title IX team was in her car. she was driving for 45 minutes of it and that at another point he could see from her glasses that she was surfing online like barely paying attention to evidence that his lawyer said was actually exculpatory for scott what was your experience and and jillio's i do recall that um i think everyone made note of that i mean this was a long proceeding like i said it was 12 and a half days of testimony, but there was one point probably about halfway through where it wasn't the hearing chair.

31:29It was one of the other panelists where everyone noticed that she was in a car, she had the seatbelt on and you could kind of see movement from driving in her glasses. So, I mean, do you think they were taking this seriously at, you know, these so-called investigators and those who are going to be determining these boys' fate? I think they were taking it seriously. I don't know that they were perhaps, or at least this particular individual was paying attention as much as she should have been throughout the entire thing. But I do think they were taking it seriously in terms of recognizing how serious the allegations were.

32:05But that was one of the concerns that we had with the process. I mean, you know, from our perspective, there were a number of things Cornell did in terms of their handling of the case, which I don't think were perfect. But that was one thing I know that a lot of the advisors picked up on. Yeah, you would definitely want them to be paying attention when you're presenting your exculpatory evidence. So now we're seeing text messages between Jane Doe and a number, actually, of the boys after the fact. Definitely with Matt, also with defendant number two, and maybe some others. Some of the reporting is confusing because they don't reveal the names in each instance or they block them out.

32:51But is that your understanding that in the days after this happened, all of the text messaging from Jane Doe reflected a woman who believed that the experience had been consensual? There were some that indicated that, yes. I think the ones more close in time to when the events happened, I think that did shift as more time passed. But the initial ones, there was certainly some indication of that. And as somebody yesterday had emerged and we spent some time on this on the show that the six page statement to which she swore under penalties of perjury did not use the word rape, except in a hypothetical context like, geez, if I had fallen asleep and they had sex with me, that would have been rape.

33:33But she did not actually accuse them of rape in that statement. Is that true? I have to check that that sounds correct. I think, you know, it's important to keep in mind, though, from the university's perspective that that's not how they define a violation of policy. Right. So from their perspective, it's a question of whether it was consensual or not. So it could have been that she had that in mind when she was drafting the statement. But I don't I'd have to double check if she used that word. OK. Did the university find the young men responsible for rape? So they wouldn't find them responsible for rape because that's not necessarily the terminology used.

34:15It would have been sexual assault that they would classify it as. Was anyone found responsible for sexual assault expelled? I don't know for certain because I don't know every sanction that was imposed for all seven of them. Okay, but some were found responsible for sexual assault in the eyes of the university. Yes. Why do you think the DA is reopening this case and now going to submit it to a grand jury? I mean, to me, it seems like pressure to do so. I mean, people are outraged, understandably. I mean, if they're hearing the way that she's presenting the case, of course, people are going to be horrified and outraged at what's being said.

34:57So I think it is just that pressure to take another look at it. And if they didn't do any real investigation at the time, you know, perhaps they feel that now is the time to do it to make sure that they reach the right decision initially. What do you think people out there need to know about this case that they don't know? I think they need to understand that there's a lot more to what happened. And again, I'm not speaking for every defendant. I'm not saying there was no wrongdoing, you know, or things that happened that maybe shouldn't have. But there's a lot more that needs to be considered.

35:35And this is all going to come out through the case, right? I mean, we're in the early phases of the complaint just having been filed. There's going to be discovery and depositions and a lot more information is going to come out. So I would just, you know, encourage people to be perhaps a bit more open-minded and not immediately jump to conclusions about who did what and who's guilty or not. Are there, are you thinking of documents that you've seen that are going to come out, or do you think it's testimony that you're going to elicit? Both, but probably primarily the testimony because that makes up the majority of the investigative record.

36:14There is an allegation that the New York Times is repeating today from the Title IX proceeding that this Jane Doe told, at least, a roommate that she had been sexually assaulted before. This is not her first accusation of sexual assault. Is that news to you? I don't want to comment on that one. You know, I want to respect the privacy on on her past history. OK, sure. And can you confirm, you know, I'm not going to ask you to name the the Jane Doe, but is it is it your understanding that she is from the South, from Alabama? I recall she's from somewhere far from New York. I honestly don't recall exactly where it was.

37:00But I'm pretty sure she said something about living a few thousand miles away. So I know it wasn't in the tribes. Yeah, a thousand. Yeah. A thousand. Yep. And your understanding is even though she's not from New York State that she filed, you think, she filed the New York State Supreme because you think that's the place that would be most friendly to allowing her to proceed anonymously? Or do you think it could go beyond that as somebody who practices this kind of law? I mean, there's a couple of factors. I think it jurisdictionally probably made the most sense because of where all the defendants are located or the far majority are located.

37:34I'm sure that was consideration number one. But I do think New York State as a general matter, you know, is pretty accommodating in terms of allowing for parties to proceed by pseudonym. Mm hmm. The I think the biggest thing that led to this getting revived by the D.A., who seems to not think that there is a case here, is the Snapchat exchange, which he says he didn't have at the time. But he also says he thinks it's irrelevant legally. But it just reflects so poorly on the young men involved, the free P word upstairs. And then we learned overnight that there's another piece of the exchange where someone texts, shop still open?

38:18And someone else responds, yeah. Just let me ask you explicitly whether Lopes is involved in the excerpts that we've seen. He is not. And that was something that was confirmed through the hearing process as well. He was not on there. He was not active in that group. And actually, the first time he ever saw it was in his second interview with the investigators in February of 2025. So can I get you to comment on that? Because, you know, if you heard me yesterday, you heard me say there's a serious moral problem with the exchanges here. And, you know, I have my own judgments about even what happened in that room, even if it were consensual.

38:58But I don't think a crime was committed, as I also said. But can you speak to the moral outrage piece of it and what the young men are thinking about that now? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's awful. I was sitting with him in that interview when we saw that for the first time. And I think we were equally horrified, you know, to see people even talking in that way. And yeah, I mean, putting aside the fact that it may not on its own be a violation of any policy or a crime necessarily to talk in that way. It's it's disturbing. And I'm sure that, you know, the men that are on there are embarrassed as they should be.

39:34and so you know I certainly agree I mean to see people talk in that way is very upsetting. This is a weird question maybe but I you know part of me is shocked to to see even what we do know happened in there with you know three different threesomes and the the drugs that part of me is shocked that kids who work this hard to get into this elite institution would behave like that. I'm maybe I'm just naive Tara but can you shed any light on it? I think I, you know, I no longer share any of that naivety just because I've been doing this for long enough to see this over and over again. Not to this level, but, you know, just seeing kids who are away from home for the first time and experimenting with different things, regardless of whether it's a huge Ivy League school on the East Coast or small liberal arts on the West Coast.

40:28kids do dumb things, right? And hopefully it's not to this extent where it leads to conduct findings and sanctions and potential criminal activity, right? I mean, we hope that it's things that are just a matter of a learning experience, but it doesn't surprise me because we've seen this over and over. Again, not to this level, but we, you know, every day we're getting calls of different things that people have concerns about with their universities and colleges.

41:01One of the concerns, and I thank you, I'm grateful to you for being here today, is the doxing not only of the young men, but their lawyers. This Jeremy Salon, who represents the other guy I mentioned, he came out and said he personally is being doxed. I'm going to play that soundbite, it's number seven. We're interpreting that snap now as something horrible and horrific, and it may have been, but he did not know this, and that's why he went there, and he was looking for his roommate, or his friend, who had left the room at the time. So I don't know what else we could do, and I just, please, I have gotten doxxed that you can't fathom to the point about me being Jewish, Zionist rapist.

41:48I should be raped. My family should be brutalized my address everything. I'm getting calls every 30 seconds. I'm getting calls as I'm sitting here with you. Threats and threats and threats. People need to pause understand the facts and if there needs to be accountability there should be accountability but if there doesn't give someone the benefit of the doubt. She could be a victim and even if she really is in full extent it doesn't mean that Scott who is not someone who did anything wrong should be victimized and abused and thrown over the coals, raked over the coals. Are you worried about that, Tara, for you and your other lawyers?

42:26Yeah, I mean, I, you know, I certainly am coming on to speak with you. It's something I thought about in terms of, you know, people having a perspective about this case. And but like I said, there's a lot more here that and like Jeremy said, I mean, there's a lot of facts that have to come out. And I think people need to pause and just wait to see, you know, what happens with the case and where this goes, because it's easy to rush to judgment based on the information that's been shared in the media. But there's a lot more that needs to be considered. Really? So do you think the people who have rushed to condemn these boys as gang rapists might wind up embarrassed?

43:04I hope they, I don't know that they'll wind up embarrassed or that I hope they do, but I hope they can be open-minded and revise their opinions when warranted. Wow. Some of the craziness we've heard has come from random people online. Some has come from some of the most powerful lawmakers in America. Your client is just a kid at Cornell University. It's a lot to have, you know, people like Chuck Schumer attacking him explicitly, the Senate minority leader, but he did. Schumer posted on X the following. The allegations of sexual assault and rape at Cornell University are horrifying and deserve a thorough investigation that leaves no stone unturned.

43:49It took extraordinary courage for this young woman to come forward to university administrators and police. I mean, already she's the courageous one. This is already assuming something illegal happened and that she's got the courage and she's the one we should be celebrating. It's very wrong for a politician to be doing this. He goes on, what she reported demanded urgency, seriousness, and an unflinching pursuit of the truth from the very beginning. Sexual assault remains far too common on college campuses across America, and the culture of silence and complicity that allows it to persist must be confronted.

44:21It's incumbent upon all of us, elected officials, university leaders, faculty, and students, to build campus communities where sexual violence is never tolerated, maximized, or minimized, or ignored. There must now be a truly independent and exhaustive investigation, not only into what happened, but into how this case was handled from the moment she came forward. Every fact must be uncovered. Every failure must be examined. Wherever wrongdoing occurred, there must be accountability. She had the courage to come forward. No survivor should have to summon that courage and then fight the system to make it respond.

44:54Your reaction to that? I mean, I agree with the majority of what he's saying. And there's no question that sexual assault is a problem on college campuses. And we know that. And the data shows that. But that doesn't mean that that's what happened here. And do you think that the likes of Chuck Schumer and some Democrats may use this to try to restore the Title IX provisions for due process on college campus that were in place under Barack Obama? I don't know. I mean, I think the process that is in place, it does work, not 100 % of the time. But like I said, I've been to a lot of these hearings.

45:31And when the processes are implemented and followed, they do reach correct outcomes. I assume you do not want to see a restoration of the Barack Obama era of Title IX enforcement. Preferably not. Yeah. I mean, I can speak to it myself. Absolutely not. I've seen too many boys lives get ruined with no really no appeal. Even if you find the devastating text message after the fact, the universities, they don't care and they don't listen. Here's Elise Slotkin, who is a Democrat from the state of Michigan, U.S. senator. We know what it's like when institutions fail women. Now it's time for Cornell to step up and treat this with the seriousness they should have treated it two years ago.

46:14that institutions have plenty of tools and accountability measures, they can remove students. They can suspend them indefinitely until the court proceedings. They can do a million things. Writing an essay, in my mind, is not part of that list. When we make the decision that because young men have a promising career ahead of them, that they shouldn't face accountability for violently assaulting a woman, like, then we've lost our way. What's your response to that? I mean, again, with the essays that that wasn't the outcome. So I agree that there should be accountability. And there are plenty of cases where that's appropriate.

47:01And it may have even been appropriate here with respect to some of the defendants. But this, unfortunately is another, you know, snapshot of people who don't have all the facts and are reading what's, you know, the soundbite that's been circulated and gone viral as far as what the allegations are. Last but not least, the folks on TikTok are having themselves a week. Your client has to live with this and get confronted by random co-eds on campus as a result of this kind of rhetoric, I'll play some for you. Ruin their futures, ruin them, fucking ruin their futures, because maybe just maybe if we hold young people accountable, then we won't have rapist presidents.

47:50And that is a future that I would love, love, love to see. if you're gonna do the crime ruin ruin ruin their futures i really do believe that every single person who is in that group chat who's chose not to speak up is complicit in this violent crime the gutless bystanders are just as culpable in my opinion if a dog were to bite you what would happen the dog would be put down okay justice will be served because if it's my daughter you You guys would be hanging upside down in my basement, slowly bleeding. But violence is not the answer, guys. Unless it comes to my kids. I haven't been able to stop thinking about the Cornell rapists.

48:33I don't call them the Cornell 7 because they're rapists. So we call them the Cornell rapists. What do they need to know about Julio that they don't know? I think they need to wait and see what the evidence shows. I mean, like I said, she was not incapacitated at the time that he was involved with her. The evidence shows that. The decision shows that. He was not aware of the Snapchat messaging. So I'm not, you know, again, saying that there was no wrongdoing here to some degree, but there was no evidence sufficient to show that there was a crime committed. And, you know, I'm all for accountability as well.

49:17And certainly if there were some of these defendants and students that were accountable, right, they should be held responsible for that. And they were. They were imposed sanctions. So, you know, it's not like they're found responsible and automatically permitted to return to campus and go about their lives. I mean, they did receive sanctions from the university. To those who say he walked in there, this is a woman who is clearly high or drunk, out of her mind, and he should have turned around and walked right back out and or stopped the whole thing. What say you? That's not how she was presenting.

49:53And the evidence will show that she was not presenting in a way that would have suggested that she was not aware of what was happening. So he thought she was, she had total capacity and was there enjoying herself? I don't know that I would phrase it exactly like that. I think I'll leave it at that, though. Okay, fair enough. Listen, thank you. I know it's risky, sadly, for you personally to come out and speak to this, which is very, very wrong. Everyone accused deserves a good lawyer. That's how our system works. And your client deserves to have people stay open-minded to what his defense is before he's had the chance to present it publicly.

50:32He should not be dragged in this way. We really appreciate it, Tara. Thank you. Thank you. All the best to you. You too. Wow, this is turning into, I mean, full Salem witch trial. These guys are being lynched in the media before we've heard anything. Tara, that guy Jeremy, who I just played, those are the only two who have gone on camera to speak out. So we haven't even heard the defense of most of these guys. And yet still, you get these women all over social media. You get Slotkin. You get Schumer. There's more to reveal. We'll do it when we come back along with some other news. It's no wonder so many people are scared of AI because it is changing everything, including how criminals steal.

I'm Megan Kelly. Every day on The Megan Kelly Show, we bring you the news, and this summer, we're bringing you something extra. Before I was a journalist, I was a lawyer. I've spent 20-plus years now covering crime and the law, so I built a true crime series that I always wanted to listen to.

53:15We're calling it MK Confidential, and there we cover cases that you've heard about, like JonBenét Ramsey, Shandra Levy, the DC Snipers, Scott Peterson, and some that you haven't. One case per week, five episodes, Monday through Friday. New episodes every weeknight. Search for The Megyn Kelly Show wherever you listen to podcasts and you will find MK Confidential.

53:40I'm swimming in information here, swimming in it, like drowning in it at the moment and trying to keep it all straight for you. But here, here's the chronology. I didn't want to waste Tara's time with going through the text to the text to the text. She was very forthcoming. That is the most forthcoming, we've heard any defense lawyer representing any one of these seven be. So credit to her. A lot came out overnight. So I want to go through it with you. First of all, you've got okay, the reveal of texts from October 23rd. This is four days after the incident. All right. And they don't make clear who she was talking to in this text exchange.

54:27But she writes, bro, everyone knows. And then the peace sign. I'm incredibly stressed out. Some random blocked out told some of my friends, I don't even know who that is, how blank she know me, how blank she know me. So I don't know exactly who she's texting with. I'm going to guess it's defendant number one who's Matthew, because that seems to be her main friend at Ki-Fi, and the one identified as male number one who opened the door with whom she danced, who she thought was attractive, etc. And then she texts him, still on October 23rd, four days after the incident, I will also say, this is ruining my life temporarily.

55:12My reputation is destroyed, and I'm utterly ashamed. That's extremely important right there because that's the motivation. I mean, her defenders will say that's the consequence of being gang raped. And I think there's a very strong argument by the young men that it's the reason she changed her story. It's the reason she went from very clearly saying, I consented to this and nothing illegal happened, which was another text she sent right around this timeframe to one of the young men, to I was gang raped and it was not consensual and I was incapacitated the whole time. She's kind of telling us right here in her own words, my reputation is destroyed and I'm utterly ashamed that all these people know.

56:00She says it. All these people know my reputation is destroyed. I'm utterly ashamed. Then his piece of this exchange, whoever she's texting with is blocked out by ABC. She goes on to say, you're right. It'll get better. And thank you. Everyone's just jealous of us. But also like everyone needs to grow up. Listen to this. Cause sexuality and sex and blank is changing and stuff like this is going to become more common. I'm also really open-minded though. I love you King. Also tell anyone who gives you blank that I'll actually beat them up that don't want the smoke, I promise. So she seems to be saying to this guy, October 23rd, again, I'm just guessing it's male number one, Matthew, that she's mad her reputation is destroyed.

56:50She feels ashamed because everyone's talking about it. And she says, I'm stressed because some of my friends know. And how do these people know about it? And then He apparently says everyone's just jealous of us, and she responds, you're right. It will get better, and you think everyone's just jealous of us, but also everyone needs to grow up because sexuality and sex, it's changing, and stuff like this is going to become more common. I'm also really open-minded, though, and then I love you, King. This is one of her alleged rapists, we think, that she's talking to. I love you, King. I mean, if this really is defendant number one, Matthew, this is just a deeply problematic text for her side.

57:42I love you, King. I'm just really open-minded. Sex and sexuality is going to become more common like this, meaning threesomes, obviously. This is devastating. Okay, now that was 1023. Now, as I pointed out to you in the New York Times, piece today that has the Title IX hearing information in it, there is a reveal about what happened around this Halloween party that was just devastating for Chi-Fi. Okay, yeah, by the way, the New York Times confirms that that October 23rd text is with man number one. His name is Matthew Ingalls. I guess we're going to out them all. um the new york times has named him and they they also confirm she wrote bro everyone knows this episode is ruining my life temporarily my reputation's been destroyed and then they add that she wrote all she could do was sleep and cry all day he assured her it would blow over soon noting how fast nonsense spreads at this school saying she did not have anything to be ashamed of you're right she responded it'll get better um okay then she had a text with her big sister that week.

59:00She wrote to the big sister, have you heard the rumor about your little? In the meantime, Jane Doe had delivered strict instructions to one of her roommates. If anyone asks about this, say it didn't happen. The roommate was plainly concerned. Initially, the roommate said, Jane Doe was quote, kind of recounting it as this crazy, this sort of crazy thing that she had done. So the roommate's confirming that Jane Doe came back from the house and just thought it was a crazy thing she'd done, a crazy night she'd had. And then I told you in that one text, She was saying people to her big sister, people are saying, I'm a slut and they're right.

59:31Ha ha. I've got to tell you something. Okay. I told you yesterday that I was in Tridel. And, you know, there's a, there's, I loved Tridel for the year that I was in it. And I deactivated the next year because, as I told you yesterday, I had a boyfriend who was an athlete there and they couldn't, he wasn't allowed at any of the parties. So I'm like, I don't want to go to these parties. What am I doing here? Anyway, you've probably heard the saying of Tridel, it's Tridel, everyone else has. And I'm not going to lie, there was a reputation amongst some that they were kind of easy. Not yours truly, something I've always prided myself on.

1:00:08Not easy. Really, not easy in any way. But anyway, there was a reputation in that the saying was Tridel, everyone else has. This girl seems to be leaning in, saying, I just, you know, very open-minded and sex and sexuality, it's all changing. And, you know, like she's kind of cool with all this. And then says to the, to the big sis, allegedly that there are rumors circulating that I'm a slut. And then says with a laugh quote, unfortunately, they're true. Now that was two days after the alleged rape, the alleged gang rape. She's saying to her, people are calling me a slut and they're right. Okay.

1:00:49So this is like, These are the initial texts. That same day, October 21st, she received a text message from defendant number two. His name is Jonathan Newell. This is the one who tweeted out or Snapchat, Snapchatted out. So, though it's spelled differently, Jonathan Newell in the Snapchat, free P word in the alumni PU. I don't know what that stands for. It was an alumni room. So defendant number two, you know, we had some harsh words for him yesterday. He's going to have to spend some time reconciling his behavior with what I assume his parents taught him is ethical conduct. And she does have a text with him.

1:01:37He was engaged in at least two of these threesomes. Jonathan Newell, allegedly, and she has a text message with him on October 21st that reads, this is according to the New York Times' report of the Title IX proceedings, she got a text message from him, one of the men she would go on to accuse of sexual assault, quote, I just wanted to apologize for how things went down the other night. He then said that both he and Matthew Ingalls, defendant number one, another of the men she would lead or accuse of assault, both felt terrible for being too under the influence of drugs and alcohol to, quote, shut it down and kick people out before it got way out of hand.

1:02:19Jane Doe replied and assured him, quote, at the end of the day, none of the sexual stuff was illegal. And honestly, I really liked being with you and Matt, end quote. I mean, I'm pretty sure that the parents of Matthew Ingalls and Jonathan Newell are probably very outraged, even though their son wrote that ridiculous Snapchat and probably is the one who got this whole thing reopened. He's got it in writing from this woman that she enjoyed her sex with him and that initial threesome, that she enjoyed it and that none of it was illegal in her viewpoint. Again, that's not determinative, but it's not helpful to a prosecution.

1:03:05Then things started to change a bit. Well, actually, before we get to that, okay. Then she had an exchange on October 25th. Defendant number one, Matthew Ingalls, texted her, you good? She replied that defendant number two, Mr. Newell, had, quote, definitely told people. Days later, she sent Matthew Ingalls an image of the forum post that she had found. She said while she was randomly surfing, suggesting there'd been a gang rape at Kifi, and she sent it to Matthew with three question marks. And he responded, ridiculous. I'm going to report that. Ridiculous. I'm going to report that. So there we are in late October with these exchanges, and there's nothing about a rape.

1:03:52There's only her calling herself a slut and saying attitudes about sex are changing and calling, I believe, defendant number one, Matthew, I believe, that's not on this statement, I'm assuming, a king saying, love you, king. Then comes, according to the New York Times, the Halloween party. As Halloween approached, Jane Doe's roommates told investigators her understanding of what happened appeared to have shifted. Around October 28th, Mr. Ingalls was on the phone with Jane Doe, and according to one of her roommates, who said she overheard the conversation, he apologized to her. But rather than assure him everything was okay, Jane Doe took a different tone.

1:04:36Quote, how could you let this happen? End quote. The roommate recalled her saying, quote, I think she wanted it to be consensual. End quote. The roommate told investigators looking back on how Jane Doe was processing the alleged assault. The roommate told investigators that Jane Doe had been sexually assaulted before, which made it particularly hard for her to talk openly about what had happened. Quote, I'd have conversations and she would describe a part of what happened. And I would tell her that that is what could be classified as rape. So here is the roommate admitting that she is the one who introduced the concept of rape to Jane Doe.

1:05:15She'd also read online that someone got gang raped at Kifi, but it is the roommate telling her, you're not a slut. You were gang raped. And the roommate testified to this, that I would tell her this is what could be classified as rape. Okay, but Jane Doe was not yet deterred from her desire, I think, to be with defendant one Matthew Ingalls. She thought she was attracted to, who she said she enjoyed her interlude with, who she danced with and went to the Chi-Fi house to be with on the night in question. The Times reports at Chi-Fi, the fraternity was preparing for a Halloween party and Jane Doe was eager to attend.

1:05:57Now, I've got to ask you, if you have just been gang raped by four to seven fraternity members at Chi-Fi, why would you be eager to attend a party at the fraternity house? This is what came out at the Title IX hearing. She was eager to attend. She said, I am a slut. She said, attitudes about sex and sexuality are changing. This is going to be happening a lot more frequently. Okay? She's eager to attend the party at her alleged gang rapist's house. Text messages included in the investigation show Matt Ingalls assuring Jane Doe that he and other frat members wanted her to be there. Quote, Kifi is your house and you are welcome here.

1:06:44End quote, he wrote, relaying the views of the fraternity's president who was not among those accused of sexual assault. She responded, quote, thank you. I really appreciate that. End quote. And then added, quote, with a heart, I'll bring my cigs tomorrow. End quote. But then, this is critical in my view, Jane Doe received a phone call from the fraternity's president, according to the text messages. She was disinvited from the party. It was for her own good, he said. Now, I'm just going to say that was colossally fucking stupid. Absolutely idiotic by that guy. Now you're going to step in? Now you're going to enforce some sort of moral code around her wellness and safety.

1:07:33Dude, what did you think was going to happen? Did you think that was going to make her feel all warm and fuzzy about Chi-Fi and the guys in it? Or do you think that might light a fire under this woman who's already being told by her roommate she was raped and starting to rethink the narrative around that night, according to that roommate. So, and by the way, if you think she's in danger and it's for her own safety in terms of coming back to Chi-Fi, you get your young men in order. You have a little team meeting where you say no one lays a hand on her. Everybody better behave like a perfect gentleman.

1:08:17Or you know what? You cancel your party that year. just absolutely idiotic. So it set her off. She sent a biting text, not to the fraternity president, but to her friend, Matthew Ingalls. I knew this was going to happen, she wrote. The woman will always get the short end of the stick. I read this earlier with Tara. Y 'all aren't my friends. Y 'all are covering your asses. That is all right in advance of Halloween. It's not dated in the New York Times.

1:08:55Then, okay, by November 3rd, she appears to have concluded that she was assaulted. She sent a text to Mr. Newell, Mr. Newell, by November 3rd. Okay, and in that November 3rd text, She wrote,

1:09:43sex doll slash worker, end quote. This is not good for the young man, of course. And now she is saying it was, most of it was non-consensual. I told you I felt uncomfortable. I didn't want anyone in the room and that she felt like she was a sex doll or sex worker. Now, feeling like a sex dollar sex worker was going to happen to virtually anybody other than one of these paid prostitutes. if you go into a room and voluntarily have sex with four to seven men, it's really only four, she's saying, you're probably going to feel like that. That's why you shouldn't do it, among the many, many reasons.

1:10:22And by the way, she showed up at the Chi-Fi house at 11 o 'clock on some evening, October 19th. Pro tip, nothing good is going to happen to you if you show up at a fraternity house on a college campus at 11 p.m. any night of the week. Ever. Ever. And then, as soon as you go upstairs with somebody, guess what? They're going to think it's consent to sleeping with them. Virtually every single man on earth is going to think you would like to have sex with him. If you show up at the fraternity house at 11 o 'clock at night, then willingly go upstairs with them. And according to Jane Doe, this Matthew Ingalls then turned around to her and said, would you consider having a threesome with another guy and me?

1:11:11And she said, yeah, actually, yes, I would like to. So now you're really telegraphing consent, which she's completely rejecting now. But those facts we know from her, from her six-page statement. So here we go. That was November 3rd when she said it wasn't consensual, a lot of it. I told you I felt uncomfortable. I didn't know anyone in the room. And the one memory was doing ketamine off of your penis in front of everyone like a sex doll slash worker. Now on November 7th, she went to an emergency room in Ithaca and requested a rape kit. I haven't heard much about what happened with the rape kit, but I don't think from sexual interludes that happened on October 19th, there would be anything relevant or probative by 11-7 other than possibly that bruise she said she got on her rear end from one of the threesomes where she alleges defendant number two, that's Newell, slapped her rear end hard.

1:12:16So it's possible that was noted, but I don't think any evidence of actual intercourse would still be there. November 7th, that same day, male number one, this Matthew Ingalls texted her, quote, my ex told me I'm being labeled an assaulter in the public eye. I was going to ask if you may have said something along those lines to someone, but I know you wouldn't. Then she responds, quote, I had a friend who was going to Chi-Fi and I said, don't, but I've never mentioned your name. She also then writes to him, I haven't said anything, but I do know people are changing the narrative because like in any sexual scenario with one woman and many men, the woman was probably the victim.

1:13:07You can see it's changing, right? It's changing, but she doesn't say you raped me. What she doesn't say to Matthew Ingalls is, you and your friends raped me. I was out of my mind, drunk and high. The next day, November 8th, he asked for a phone call. And by this point, she's been to the, you know, in for a rape exam. She said she was done talking to him and that she knew he, quote, lied. ABC says it's unclear what she was referring to when she says he, quote, lied. He asked what she meant and asked her to call. And she answered, quote, no, never again. I mean, he must have known he was effed by this point.

1:13:51About a week later, she gave a sworn statement to Cornell police saying she felt incapacitated, declined some of the sexual activity, and that the encounters, quote, felt like coercion. She, of course, then filled out a six-page statement in which we believe she did not accuse them of rape explicitly and did recount multiple instances of turning down certain sex acts that night and so on. Her whole story seemed to indicate consciousness and ability to control her conduct, which is deeply problematic for any prosecutor trying to prosecute this as a rape case. So those are the reveals that we got overnight about the text messaging.

1:14:39And you can see exactly what I predicted yesterday. She did this. We used to call it Sunday morning regrets back in my day. She felt like a slut. She tried to laugh it off. She felt ashamed. She was still talking to Matthew, the one she liked. She felt like maybe something could happen there. and then that idiotic university president barred her from the Chi-Fi party, honestly. I realize this isn't the main issue. I'm just saying, how fucking stupid can you be? And I think that really set her off. She had the roommate in her ear saying, this sounds like rape to me. And slowly but surely, she was getting pissed off because word was getting around campus and clearly the guys had talked.

1:15:31And she didn't really want that. You know, at first with them, she's like, well, sex and sexuality are changing. But what she really wanted was for people not to know what she did. Because even in 2024, then America, there was a judgment attached to repeated group sex. Three threesomes in a night. Which is kind of a relief to find out that there's still judgment around that. And now here we are. Now here we are. Yeah, she filed the civil lawsuit. Again, we're going to find out who she is. I do believe she's the gal from Alabama that is being named online. I'm not naming anybody, not being absolutely sure who it is.

1:16:13But there's one woman from Alabama. I mean, people, the online sleuths basically figured out who was in Tridalt at the time, and there were only about 50 young women. And then they figured out who didn't stay at Cornell because this gal did not stay at Cornell. And then they got it down to about 10 or 12. Then they figured out who was from a town about a thousand miles away from Cornell because she alleges in the complaint that she was from a small town around a thousand miles away. And that made the list even shorter. Then they started to do further detective work like who stopped posting on Instagram around this time, et cetera.

1:16:49And they did get to a name. Again, we don't know that it's this person who's being named, but she is this person who the internet believes it is, is from Alabama. and Jane Doe hired a lawyer who's admitted in Alabama, who may be from Alabama, the main guy who's representing her on the case. So he's got a New York address and he's got an Alabama address. So that's interesting too. I guess she lives in New York now, but query that connection. Why would she be hiring? Why would a New York plaintiff be hiring an Alabama lawyer? And look, I stand by what I said yesterday. I just don't think there is any reason when you are talking about a civil lawsuit asking for money to protect the identity of a woman alleging rape when she names all of the defendants.

1:17:42There is this has to stop. We are treating women like it's the handmaid's tale and that, you know, there's a paternalistic society that controls everything around them and that somehow they're to blame for even for the real victims. You know, let's say she she actually is a real victim and all of this is true. They gang raped her. There's no shame on the victim. We have been saying that we won't say the names of rape victims for a long, long time now because they get shamed. Why do they get shamed? It's not a fucking rape victim's fault when she gets raped. The shame is on the defendant. So this whole policy comes out of an anachronistic understanding of this paternalistic society and how a woman's chaste reputation must be maintained.

1:18:32And I'm sorry, but we are equal participants with equal power in society now. And this rule is outdated. It's actually a sexist rule. Sexist against women. treating them as like the fairer sex that doesn't have equal power in America. And the way it's being applied here and in many other cases is it's unfair to the male defendants. It's another serious problem of doing this. Now, I'm not sure if I would feel this way if there had just been criminal charges brought against these guys because that's, I mean, I don't know. It's probably the same feeling. But for sure, when it's a civil lawsuit and the person's trying to get money, She's like, pay me?

1:19:15Like, I want to get paid? And by the way, let's not forget, this woman never went back to the DA. She never went back and said, now I have a Snapchat message. Please look at this and consider charging. She never used her lawyer to say, please reopen the case. Why don't you interview me? You never did. She went right to the tort claim with her palm out asking for money. I just don't see, there's no ethical impediment stopping any media person from naming her. so we'll find out who she is some point soon i'm sure and it's unclear whether the new york courts will even allow her to maintain that cloak of anonymity though it being new york i would imagine they will um okay we're gonna move on to other news can we talk about picky eaters for a second if you've got a kid who survives on basically three foods i want to share an easy way to help fill their nutritional gaps.

1:23:53There was a Lindsay Clancy hearing on Tuesday, and nothing much happened because it was a status hearing, and they did not really take on the issue of the holdout juror and what should happen to him. Kevin Reddington is out for that guy's scalp. But there was some talk around it. And the nation's jaw collectively dropped when Kevin Reddington suddenly, after a whole trial of admitting, was never in doubt, that his client, Lindsey Clancy, had murdered her three children, suddenly injected new doubt into that question or tried to inject new doubt into that question with the following sound. Side 11.

1:24:37Where is the evidence that she did this? The evidence is that she cut her wrists, cut her throat, standing in front of the mirror, blood drops, then went over to the window and propelled herself out of the window. Your Honor heard evidence that she indicated that the screen was cut. Your Honor also heard evidence that, in fact, the screen was not cut. Your Honor could infer, obviously, as a rational jury could infer, that, in fact, this is a false memory that she had. because she believes that the screen was cut. And it wasn't. But in any event, she propels herself out the window and sustains the injuries that Your Honor is well aware that she sustained.

1:25:17Your Honor recalls looking at the blood spatter evidence and the drops on the floor. Where are the smears from a person who has just cut their wrist, cut their throat, is in a state of psychosis that throws themselves out a window. Where are the smears from that person walking across the blood up to the window? What? What are you saying? You already admitted this at the trial. Now he's trying to do a defense on the merits like she might not have done it. Like actual innocence. He's getting like crazed with his power. He's drunk on his own wine. Now, after the 11 person jury, minus the holdout, that 11 people on the jury decided that they were ready to vote, not guilty by reason of mental defect or insanity.

1:26:09Look at him. He's like, I'm going for the straight all out innocence now. OK, a little preview of what trial number two is going to look like. He doubled down just in case you think that was a one off here in SOT 12. This entire case is based on speculation. Where is the admission? Where does she say that she did this? And what's most chilling is the fact that when she comes out of this obvious coma that she is in, that when she comes out of it, Your Honor heard the testimony from the psychiatrist and from the doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital. she was told what happened she had no memory of what happened why does she recall cutting the screen why does she recall killing the children where she's told what happened and had no memory there's no evidence that she admitted that she did this so you have no evidence from the defendant in Massachusetts an uncorroborated statement of a defendant obviously is not evidence.

1:27:20You have to have corroboration. I submit to the court, there is no evidence. She made any statements as far as the actual killing of the children, which forms the basis of the indictments. This is so crazy. He's trying to relitigate the whole case now. Okay. Your trial is over. It ended in a mistrial. Your client is likely to be retried. You are trying to stop that, but there is a 99 % chance it gets retried unless you and the prosecutor can come to some agreement, but he is going to reindict her short of that. And at that trial, you can go for this argument, Kevin Reddington, and argue actual innocence.

1:27:57For some reason, you failed to in trial number one, and maybe you're now going to get attacked as having provided ineffective assistance. Maybe Lindsey Clancy is going to actually appeal the mistrial or the grant of one saying, I was ineffectively assisted by this idiot who gave up the farm by not arguing that I was actually innocent, which is what he did. Don't trust me. Here's a soundbite for you with Kevin Reddington, then versus now. Watch. This is a woman that did not get the medication, did not get the medical treatment that she so deserved. This is a woman that was suffering from psychosis at the time that she went down to that basement.

1:28:51Where's the evidence that she did this? Where is the evidence that she did this? Okay, what happened in the basement is the murders. I mean, there's just been no question that she did it all along. The husband, his testimonial, everyone knows she did it. And Kevin Reddington did not dispute, did not dispute and admitted that she was in the basement, that she was under psychosis when she went down to the basement. That was the defense. It's very strange. and he was asked about this reversal when he went on the show of our pal Billy Bush, Hot Mics, on Tuesday. Watch here, SOT 14. Today it felt to me, you know, honestly, that you opened the door a little bit to what actually happened and his involvement again.

1:29:49Did you go one way back and then the other way? No, not at all. Again, as I already said, what I did was argued exactly what I argued in my closing to the jury, exactly what I argued, and motions for required finding. The government has to prove probable cause. I don't care, full stop, whatever the case may be. If they can't prove the guilt of the citizen based on their investigation, that person's entitled to a not guilty, regardless of what a defense may be. And this investigation was so horrific, so atrocious, that it just defies, It boggles the mind why this investigation ended up the way it did.

1:30:32So I had to raise that issue on the motion for a required finding. Okay, but you blew it because you didn't raise it in the trial in chief. And in fact, what we heard in the trial in chief was testimony from Patrick Clancy, the victim's father, about Lindsay's call to him a week after the murders. Quote, she said she heard a man's voice telling her that if she didn't do it now, she would lose her chance or something like that. I mean, this is what they fucking gave up the farm on this. Get it together, sir. OK, get it together. It's ridiculous. She did it. Good luck trying to persuade a jury otherwise.

1:31:17There's news about the holdout juror. he, as you may know, issued a statement on tape saying, I didn't have any doubt, actually. I had no doubt. And then his attorneys went on panity on Tuesday, and they are none too happy with Kevin Reddington for besmirching their client as a lying felon, accusing him of lying under oath, which is a felony, repeatedly just for doing his civic duty. Listen here, Sot 15. Oh, Sean, I can tell you, we're going to file a bar complaint. Look, he filed, in his words that we just heard a second ago, he said that all he's done is file a motion. Well, even if you take that as true, which it obviously isn't, the motion that he filed was unprecedented.

1:32:08You don't attack jurors this way. You don't single them out. And we're going to file a bar complaint. I want your audience to know. I want you to know that that's happening. Absolutely. And here's the holdout juror himself. Hi, my name is Michael Peggy Desronville, also known as the lone juror. I know the whole focus has been on me, but we want to reel everything back and put the focus on the three angels that is at hand. The ones that can't speak for themselves, the ones that can't defend themselves, and the ones that can't fight the battles. And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan. A little bit about me.

1:32:51I want to thank God for my Catholic faith. I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter. And foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual that has supported me throughout this difficult situation. Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is tremendous to my heart that I feel, that I sense, that I know. I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. There you go. They're filing Barr a complaint against Kevin Reddington, as well they should. How dare he accuse a juror of committing a felony in the middle of the trial because he won't come to a verdict along the lines that defense counsel wants.

1:33:48That is so outrageous. And now he has spent weeks attacking and defaming this private citizen. It's just beyond the pale. And honestly, all of the defense lawyers and prosecutors in Massachusetts should join in this motion. They should make an example out of this guy. The judge should throw the book at Kevin Reddington. He should be outraged, this judge in this case, and the bar should throw the book at him in the ethical proceeding. There is zealous advocacy, which is expected of every lawyer, and then there is harassment of a juror proceeding in good faith. This is deeply wrong. The attorney went on to speak a bit about what has happened to Michael Desronville, the holdout juror, since Kevin Reddington began his nonsense.

1:34:46Here's Sot 16. His life has changed dramatically. He has been docked. He has been threatened. He has been harassed. But as I've said, Michael is absolutely indestructible. He will not be broken by this. And he has remained calm, cool, and collected. And the man that you saw on that video is Michael. Michael is a man of devout Catholic faith who loves his daughter, cares very deeply about the three innocent children who were murdered, and is somebody who cares also very deeply about the United States Constitution and following the law and following the evidence. This is just so insane. So the drama there goes on and on and doesn't look like it's coming to a close anytime soon.

1:35:38There will be a hearing about the holdout juror. It was rescheduled because they hadn't copied his lawyers and given them enough time to respond to all the allegations swirling around him. So they asked for that to be postponed, which was accommodated by the lawyers, the prosecution and defense. But we will be getting to that. And when we do, we will have it covered for you. Okay, there is other legal news that we need to get to on a case we spent a fair amount of time on last week, which was the murder accusations against so-called pastor, music pastor, worship pastor, Caleb Flynn. This guy in Ohio who was married to Ashley for 15 years.

1:36:22They have two daughters. And this is the guy who had tried out for American Idol, failed, and who said his wife was just so very pretty, Ashley. And he loved her so much, and she encouraged him to try out for American Idol, but he failed. And then 15 years later, I guess her good looks had waned in his eye because he started banging some 20-year-old who frequented his church, Aleah. And he had an affair with Aleah for some two years or so, 18 months to two years. And this is Caleb and his wife, Ashley. And this Alea and he had over 100 ,000 text messages with one another referring to poor Ashley as, quote, douche and bitch and other choice terms.

1:37:13Both of them called her that. By the way, all the testimony was that Ashley was such a lovely person. And the text messages from her to Caleb, her husband, showed somebody who was actually quite sweet and loving. she clearly at one point found out about the affair because at one point she said like where are you and he said he was working and she said be honest are you with her I mean like can you imagine most of us would have been like driving there in our bath robes with our you know moisturizer all over our face banging on whatever door he said he was behind like it would not be are you with her, it would be, I'm going to fucking kill this person.

1:37:52Not really, but just like yell at.

1:37:57Anyway, he shot his wife twice in the head as she lay sleeping and then tried to claim that an intruder had come in through the garage door while he was out of the room in with the daughters. And he was shocked, shocked. They had a fan on and they didn't hear it. And, you know, he just couldn't believe it. And he called 911 and, you know, got the worst actor award for his ridiculous histrionics. and within days was arrested. And in the closing argument, his lawyer went for it, really went for it, and went after Alaya and basically tried to tell the jury, how do you know she didn't do it? Which was a good card.

1:38:36He should have played even harder during the course of the trial. But here's a bit of that in SOT 17. The judge is going to provide you instructions. And basically, the bottom line is you can believe or disbelieve or any part in any way that's his testimony. So let's do a little test. Should we believe Aliyah? If you believe that she was a virgin and she did Caleb, I have some swamp land I would like to sell you. And then, you have the unmitigated gall to lie to the FBI.

1:39:17Okay, she wanted to save her reputation. I would do that. The issue here isn't whether he was a good husband, was he an asshole, or any other label you want to put on him. Bad husband. That's not the issue.

1:39:53So there you go. If you could, if you could not hear it, he asked, should we believe a Leah? If you believe that she was a virgin when she did Caleb, I have some swampland. I would like to sell you. Okay. Well, was the jury persuaded that they should find him not guilty because a Leah may have done it? Here's the verdict. side 18. We the jury in this case being duly impaneled and sworn find the defendant Caleb C. Flynn guilty of aggravated murder as charged in count one of the indictment. We the jury in this case being duly impaneled and sworn find the defendant Caleb C. Flynn guilty of murder as charged in count four of the indictment.

1:40:34At this time, juror number one, Mr. Applegate, were these verdicts your own? Yes. Okay. Thank you. Ms. Atkins, were these verdicts your own? Members of the jury, you are now discharged from your duties. Thank you. Ms. Osendorf, if you would walk them out.

1:41:01The defendant, who has been crying more than John Boehner at a tearful event, has been in tears the entire time. And of course, when his own fate was determined, he blubbered like a small toddler. He will now be going to prison and no one gives a shit that he is upset about it. So goodbye, Caleb Flynn. I wish you no good luck. I actually hope you do not enjoy prison, but that some of your prison fellow prisoners do enjoy your stint there. And I'll just leave it at that. I want to give you the latest on Presley Gerber because there's news via TMZ on that today. And it's unbelievable, guys. It's unbelievable.

1:41:45So, you know, all along we've been having, I had questions about why was he in this, what kind of a rehab can you OD in? You know, and I told you that I had a loved one who went to Karen rehab here in the Northeast, and you could not get anywhere near there with anything even approaching intoxicating in your bag or for your loved one, stuff that, you know, you would never think would be used as a drug, would be confiscated from you as a visitor. So I didn't understand this. And then it turned out he wasn't at a rehab facility. He was at a, like a sober house, which is much, much short of a rehab.

1:42:25Okay. I don't, I still didn't understand why they would take somebody who's in active addiction quite clearly and put them in a sober house. And now TMZ is reporting on that. And it's, it's pretty, it's pretty clear now. Um, TMZ reports that Presley Gerber did have a sober coach. Remember I had said, why not have a sober coach? There is somebody you can pay to like follow you around when you're really vulnerable to make sure you don't drink. He did have a sober coach. Uh, they say he had a sober coach. The sober coach had planned to take Presley to an rehab facility, an actual rehab facility, the following Monday, but needed to put him somewhere over the weekend.

1:43:07So he took him to this place called Resolutions and just left him there. Here is Harvey Levin expanding on Presley's last hours, SOT 22. I want to tell you what I know about Presley Gerber's death, and I know a lot. I want to start with the Saturday morning before he died, 24 hours before he was found dead. Presley Gerber was in a therapy group with other men and was very open about his struggles, about his personal life, about his battle with substances. That morning, I am told he was fine. He was not high. It changed midday. There were people who had contact with him in the middle of the day on Saturday.

1:44:05And it became apparent that Presley Gerber started to circle the drain. He was clearly high and scared. What people around him told me is that he was actually scared that something bad was going to happen to him and felt a need to get some help. Now, he was with a sober coach at least part of the day. And at around 6 o 'clock in the evening on Saturday, that sober coach, we're told, contacted Resolutions Living. The sober coach, we're told, contacted Resolutions and said, I want to bring Presley in, but I need you to know that he's high. and the facility said, bring him in. Just bring him in. Presley Gerber is in this house and nobody is looking.

1:45:14Where is the sober coach? If the sober coach knows that he was high going in, where is the sober coach in all of this? Because based on what we know, It appears that sober coach was nowhere in sight. So he got dumped there by a sober coach. And TMZ also obtained this video of Presley, which they say he took of himself. Saturday evening around 10 p.m., he would only have, what, 12 hours to live? He looks very thin. It's being shot on the side and then back up. It looks jumpy, TMZ says, because they had to slow it down. But he's showing his room. It's supposed to be luxury accommodations. And I don't know whether this was posted or just found on his phone.

1:46:07I mean, honestly, if this was just on his phone, then they got this from his family, which is very strange. Why would the family be leaking videos of Presley Gerber to TMZ? Perhaps he posted it on his social media and then took it down. We didn't see it, and we checked the social media right away. I don't know how we got our hands on this, but it is disturbing to see Presley Gerber within hours of his death when he had no family around him, clearly no friends, and no sober coach to protect him. It's very sad. They also, TMZ, did caught up with this Dr. Reza Nambavi, who owns resolutions. And they asked him, why would you admit somebody while high?

1:46:57I'm just going to show you just a little bit of this. Top 24. Doctor, why would you admit Presley Gerber into your sober house if you knew he was high?

1:47:11Is there anything you could say to the public? That's it. She keeps firing questions at him and he keeps walking away because he knows all of this is deeply problematic. More on that as we get it, and we will see you again tomorrow. Thank you for tuning in. Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
