00:01:01.000 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:01:12.660 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.
00:01:14.400 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:01:15.620 Today, we pick up where we left off yesterday as we have a lot of updates to the Cornell
00:01:20.580 story on the accuser, what happened in the weeks between the alleged gang rape and her reporting
00:01:28.300 it to authorities, and more. We noted yesterday how many are falling into the same traps we've
00:01:33.800 seen over the years in stories like the Duke fake lacrosse rape case or the UVA fake rape case
00:01:40.740 involving a fraternity there, where there is a rush to judgment and a total disregard for due
00:01:47.080 process, the presumption of innocence or even common courtesy for those being accused of one
00:01:54.280 of the most serious crimes a person can commit. This morning, video emerged online of one of the
00:02:01.080 men listed as a defendant in Jane Doe's lawsuit. Cornell student Jillio Lopes being confronted on
00:02:08.440 campus watch are you not like embarrassed to be here after all of this time after the case comes
00:02:17.500 out your name is here your face is on paper are you not ashamed that you still here you're with 0.90
00:02:22.240 an education while jane joe had to fucking realize there's a reason for that right what's the reason 0.99
00:02:27.200 for that i'm not gonna talk about all this right now yeah and i you never will because you're a 1.00
00:02:33.300 disgusting person. You're a disgusting 1.00
00:02:35.300 person. Everyone in Cornell is ashamed 1.00
00:02:37.540 of you. Like, that group chat
00:02:39.560 is fucking disgusting. 0.99
00:02:42.020 Were you in the group chat? 1.00

00:02:50.520 You're in the lawsuit, man. 1.00
00:02:51.660 I don't know what the fuck to tell you. 1.00
00:02:53.940 I'm just disgusted by you. I just wanted 1.00
00:02:55.540 to let you know personally.
00:02:57.820 I'm ashamed to be on the same campus 1.00
00:02:59.720 as you, and you're a gross person. 0.98
00:03:03.300 Here to react to this, and with more on the case, is the attorney representing Lopes, Tara Davis. 0.95
00:03:10.900 When it comes to supplements, we all know there are two things that matter, that it works and that you can trust it.
00:03:16.620 Rather than just tell you about Relief Factor, we often bring you what their real customers have to say.
00:03:21.460 One, Jim, said he ran out of Relief Factor twice and that both times his aches, stiffness, and pain came back.
00:03:28.260 Once he restarted it, he says he felt better again.
00:03:30.660 As Jim puts it, quote, you know something's working when you run out of it.
00:03:34.540 I know many people who have used Relief Factor and had it work for them, including me.
00:03:38.780 I took it from my shoulder and then ordered it again and found real relief.
00:03:43.140 They make it easy to find out if you're going to join me as a satisfied Relief Factor customer
00:03:47.780 and talking about how much it helps you tackle your daily aches and pains.
00:03:51.840 Three weeks for just 17 bucks and 76 cents.
00:03:55.640 Simply go to relieffactor.com or call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:03:58.780 You will connect with their friendly local team, and they will do everything they can to help you.
00:04:03.380 And maybe you will be sharing your story with them and with me soon, too.
00:04:09.200 Tara, welcome to the show. Thanks so much for being here.
00:04:11.520 Thank you for having me.
00:04:12.820 I'm sorry for what your client is going through, because even if he is adjudicated guilty,
00:04:20.020 if he winds up indicted by some grand jury, the rush to judgment here is stomach-turning,
00:04:25.620 and it is literally un-American.
00:04:28.780 Can you give us some background on how first you got involved in this?
00:04:33.320 Because when I look at your resume, it looks like you're the lawyer I would call if, God forbid, a son of mine got pulled into a Title IX hearing like these boys did at Cornell University.
00:04:43.820 Thank you. I appreciate that.
00:04:45.820 So I've been involved since the university conduct proceeding.
00:04:50.360 I became involved shortly after the notice of allegations were sent out.
00:04:54.780 So from the very beginning through the university's conduct process, through the investigation, the hearings and the appeals, I was working with the with my client.
00:05:05.620 And so I have been involved since the very beginning.
00:05:09.120 OK, so you were there alongside of him for the Title IX proceeding that happened on Cornell's campus.
00:05:16.280 Correct. OK, amazing, because it wasn't so long ago that you weren't entitled to have a lawyer there with you.
00:05:22.640 under the Barack Obama years, the lawyer, you had no right as a defendant to even have your
00:05:27.320 counsel present. Isn't that true? Correct. Yeah. I mean, there has been a lot of changes that have
00:05:31.580 happened since 2011 when the dear colleague letter was issued. So we did have a period of
00:05:36.660 time where attorneys were able to attend and cross-examine witnesses. There was a change in
00:05:42.760 the administration and correspondingly the regulations, as you mentioned. And at that
00:05:48.040 point, those rights were taken away for a period of time. Fortunately, not too long before they
00:05:53.300 were reinstated. So now we are back to the position of being able to attend, being able to
00:06:00.880 cross-examine witnesses. And in fact, the parties involved are not able to cross-examine parties
00:06:07.280 themselves. They are required to have advisors. They don't have to be legal advisors, but they
00:06:12.140 have to have advisors conduct the cross-examination. It's an incredible, I mean, and very valuable
00:06:18.120 restoration. I have to say, God bless President Trump for doing it because it was Arne Duncan
00:06:21.940 under Barack Obama who wrote that dear colleague letter that changed due process rights, eliminated
00:06:27.120 them for anyone accused on college campuses nationwide. You're talking about a boy's entire
00:06:32.040 future, his college education, being labeled a sex offender for the rest of his life. And they
00:06:38.780 were told by Barack Obama's administration, you can't have a lawyer in there. You can't
00:06:42.720 cross-examine. You have very limited rights to discovery. It was very, very wrong. Trump
00:06:47.760 reversed it. And here we are now with your client and others being accused by Jane Doe.
00:06:54.300 Can I ask you, first of all, I have a real problem personally with the fact that she's
00:07:00.140 maintaining her anonymity and she's named all seven of these young men explicitly. Their names
00:07:06.660 are in every newspaper in the country right now.
00:07:09.040 Can you comment on that?
00:07:10.340 Yeah, absolutely.
00:07:11.160 And, you know, New York State,
00:07:12.780 and perhaps part of the reason she chose to file 0.95
00:07:14.920 in the New York State court
00:07:16.540 is because they are quite deferential
00:07:18.460 to parties that bring cases
00:07:21.700 that involve allegations of this nature.
00:07:24.100 So there is an opportunity to challenge that status,
00:07:27.620 and we do have a return date
00:07:29.200 for the parties to oppose her request
00:07:31.680 to appear by pseudonym.
00:07:34.260 But I think that the courts are likely to allow her to remain that status because of, again, the nature of the allegations and that courts typically do allow parties to proceed as a doe.
00:07:45.980 On the other side, you know, oftentimes we talk about is it appropriate to name the defendants, right?
00:07:52.060 I mean, if we're bringing a lawsuit on the plaintiff's side, which we often do, do we name the other parties?
00:07:56.540 And at this point, there have been some discussions about do we move to keep that pseudonym status or try to remove it?
00:08:05.080 And from our perspective, it doesn't matter at this point.
00:08:08.740 I mean, the cat's out of the bag. Like you said, their names are everywhere.
00:08:11.880 So even if we were able to get them changed to John Doe's one through seven, everyone already knows their names and faces.
00:08:19.380 Yep. Yep. We we tried not to say them yesterday, but I mean, having you on, we're going to say them.
00:08:25.740 And I'm giving serious thought to saying her name, too, once I've confirmed it, because the members of the media can do what they think is ethical.
00:08:32.980 And we have had many examples in the past, including of The New York Times, naming an accuser if they think the circumstances warrant it.
00:08:41.360 And I think we're there on this case personally, but continue to review.
00:08:46.300 So can you walk us through a little bit of the timeline?
00:08:48.540 When did Giglio first find out that what he thought, because he was one of the, he's one of the young men accused of actually having a sexual encounter with her.
00:08:58.200 There were four out of the seven who allegedly did.
00:09:01.000 He is one of them.
00:09:02.400 And my understanding is all of these boys thought it was consensual.
00:09:05.760 I mean, it was raunchy and it was a night of debauchery, if you will, involving ketamine, et cetera.
00:09:10.840 But the text messages after the fact and her initial statements appear to confirm that all involved believed this was consensual, racy, but consensual in on the night it happened and the days thereafter.
00:09:25.560 So how did he first get wind that she was changing her tune?
00:09:29.600 Yeah. So, I mean, I can't speak to the other defendants, certainly.
00:09:32.460 I don't think and I don't know exactly the timeline for him.
00:09:37.120 I can say that he did not have any indication that this was going to become something more serious than than just a kind of a crazy night until he heard that there was a report that had been made.
00:09:49.340 And there was a report that was filed, as you know, with the Cornell police.
00:09:53.240 But there was also a campus wide report that was made to all of Cornell.
00:09:57.880 So at that point, people started to recognize that this was going to become a more serious matter and it likely was going to be investigated.
00:10:06.780 The Title IX notice did not come out till January.
00:10:10.140 But by that point, because of the campus crime alert, they had an understanding that that there was likely going to be an investigation.
00:10:18.120 And the event, we should remind people, happened in October is October 19th, overnight into the 20th.
00:10:23.840 Correct.
00:10:24.020 So it made news campus wide in January, but it had been it had occurred a couple of months prior.
00:10:31.980 So today, The New York Times has reports that it has gotten its hands on the Title IX documents on the the filings around that issue, including it looks like hearing transcripts.
00:10:46.520 First of all, are you surprised that that they have that?
00:10:49.540 I am. I don't know where that came from.
00:10:51.600 I mean, certainly there are a lot of people involved.
00:10:54.300 There's a lot of parties involved in the lawsuit, but also a lot of people that are aware of what's happening.
00:10:59.400 So, you know, I suppose it's not surprising that someone leaked them.
00:11:03.020 I don't know who and I haven't seen them, so I'm not sure exactly which documents they are.
00:11:08.540 Yeah. And same. I mean, I'm only going off of what they what they printed.
00:11:13.340 But they they have a lot in here that confirms, frankly, what I was theorizing about yesterday.
00:11:21.600 which is that Jane Doe very clearly initially did not think she had been raped at all and that it
00:11:29.900 looks like from the documents they're reporting on, it was her roommate who tried to convince her
00:11:35.520 that she had been raped as opposed to Jane Doe coming up with this on her own, a notion she'd
00:11:41.340 been toying with. And then there was a crucial denial by the Chi-Fi chapter president
00:11:50.060 to allowing Jane Doe to go to a Halloween party.
00:11:54.200 And that's when she got really mad 0.99
00:11:55.980 from what I read in the New York Times.
00:11:57.720 Can you elaborate?
00:11:59.660 I don't recall specifically conversations
00:12:01.940 with the roommate.
00:12:02.980 I know she did speak to some of her friends
00:12:05.540 in the sorority house
00:12:06.640 in the days following the interactions.
00:12:11.400 But I can say that I do know
00:12:13.760 that the week following the events that issue,
00:12:16.400 there was some kind of a Halloween event
00:12:19.100 or themed party that she had planned to attend some member of the fraternity.
00:12:24.400 I'm not certain if it was the president, but some member of the fraternity told her that
00:12:29.460 that she shouldn't come or disinvited her in some way, something to that effect.
00:12:34.360 And I think she was upset by that.
00:12:38.380 Yes, what what the Times is reporting was that is that in the days thereafter, first
00:12:44.780 of all, that the roommate the roommate says one roommate told investigators Jane Doe did
00:12:48.820 not use the word rape or assault when they were first talking about it the day after.
00:12:53.240 It seemed like she was in shock, her other roommate leader told investigators, quote,
00:12:56.620 not really understanding the gravity of what she was saying.
00:13:00.580 She went to her big sister, Jane Doe, did at the Tridel house and told the sister, there 0.99
00:13:06.800 are roommates circulating, this is the next day, October 21st, that she was a slut. 0.94
00:13:13.340 The big sister, who's a junior at Cornell at the time, told investigators, Jane Doe 0.97
00:13:16.700 added with a laugh. Unfortunately, they're true, these rumors. The big sister brought up her own
00:13:24.020 passing. I could tell that she had not yet processed what happened. And then she had her
00:13:30.740 text, Jane Doe had a text exchange with another one of the defendants known as defendant number
00:13:34.860 two. Again, we're saying the names now. This one's named Jonathan Newell. And she reassured him in
00:13:40.500 this text where he said, I want to apologize for how things went down. That quote, in her words,
00:13:45.020 at the end of the day, none of the sexual stuff was illegal. And honestly, I really liked being
00:13:51.420 with you and Matt, she wrote explicitly. Then she would get angrier because by October 23rd,
00:13:59.940 which was, looks like two days later, she texted bro, everyone knows. And I think this is to
00:14:07.700 Matt, the guy she was meeting initially when she showed up at the house.
00:14:11.300 She said the episode was ruining my life temporarily, that her reputation had been destroyed, said all she could do was sleep and cry all day.
00:14:20.360 Matthew Ingalls assured her it would all blow over soon, noting how fast nonsense spreads at this school and that she did not have anything to be ashamed of.
00:14:27.960 You're right, said Jane Doe. It'll get better.
00:14:30.420 And then what the New York Times reports is that even though she had more texts, and I'll get into them later when you're not here, I don't want to bore you. You've seen it all. But that ultimately we got to the Halloween party. She was eager to attend. That Mr. Ingalls texted her again saying, we want you here. Chi-Fi is your house. You're welcome here. She wrote, thank you. I really appreciate that. I'll bring my SIGs tomorrow.
00:14:57.560 And then she received a phone call from the fraternity president disinviting her.
00:15:01.860 It was for her own good, she said.
00:15:04.180 And she wrote back, I knew this was going to happen. 0.97
00:15:06.680 The woman will always get the short end of the stick.
00:15:08.720 Y'all aren't my friends. 1.00
00:15:09.860 Y'all are covering your asses. 0.99
00:15:12.140 And then she sent a nasty text to Mr. Newell, man number two. 0.99
00:15:17.500 Let's be clear, 90% of what happened then was not consensual.
00:15:20.800 I was given more than I can remember, more key, short for ketamine.
00:15:24.120 and I know that I told you I felt uncomfortable
00:15:27.720 and I didn't know anyone in that room.
00:15:30.840 It went on from there.
00:15:32.880 And then within days, literally within days,
00:15:36.540 she was at the campus police.
00:15:38.980 So, I mean, to me, this is evidence of a woman
00:15:41.200 who was involved in a consensual exchange
00:15:45.280 that then her friends, campus rumor mill,
00:15:49.160 and ultimately anger over feeling rejected
00:15:51.340 by the fraternity, some of whose members she was with, led this woman to change her story.
00:16:00.280 Yeah, and I think those all sound accurate. And I do recall those text messages. And I agree with
00:16:06.120 the general sentiment. I mean, again, I know what my client has told me about what happened
00:16:11.780 from his perspective. He had very limited involvement in the events of that night. It
00:16:16.660 was at the very beginning of the night for a short period of time. And the testimony and evidence
00:16:22.320 that came out during the university's conduct proceeding confirmed all of that. So from his
00:16:28.800 perspective, I mean, yes, everything was consensual and there was no question about it.
00:16:35.380 So if I ask something you can't tell me, please obviously feel free to say so. But
00:16:40.580 what happened to your client at the proceedings? We know two were expelled
00:16:44.860 and five weren't.
00:16:47.480 Some were given temporary suspensions.
00:16:51.080 Yeah, he received a suspension period
00:16:52.920 in addition to some educational sanctions,
00:16:55.380 one of which included a component involving an essay,
00:16:58.660 which I think is where people got that information
00:17:00.720 and kind of ran with the assumption
00:17:02.240 that that was the full sanction.
00:17:04.440 It was not.
00:17:05.260 He did receive a suspension period.
00:17:07.860 What was the story with the essays?
00:17:09.880 Because some are out there tweeting nonstop,
00:17:13.040 omg all they had to do was write essays you know how how outrageous and it just seems like
00:17:18.700 absolutely insane to think a university like cornell would ever leave it at that because
00:17:22.600 we all know from the history if anything they bend over backward to believe any woman accuser
00:17:28.220 and to throw the book at the male defendants so tell us the story of the essay yeah and i agree
00:17:32.760 with you i heard you talk about that yesterday as well it's something along the lines of what
00:17:36.520 you just said in terms of cornell being the institution that it is would never just assign
00:17:40.700 essays to someone found responsible for a Title IX violation. And honestly, in all the cases I've
00:17:46.100 done over many years, I can't recall a single case where someone found responsible was assigned
00:17:51.800 only an essay. I think that that's just absurd and it wouldn't happen. They had essays, some of
00:17:59.000 them to write. Again, I don't know every sanction because I wasn't privy to all the materials,
00:18:02.980 but that came in combination with a number of other sanctions. It was just one piece of the
00:18:08.320 sanctions received. I think it was, yeah, it's Casey Johnson, with whom I've been working for
00:18:14.480 years as a guest on my new shows, who really is one of the best in terms of covering what's been
00:18:20.700 happening on college campuses to young men and the erosion of due process and these, you know,
00:18:24.960 you're guilty, you're presumed guilty by all the irrelevant authorities. And he writes in a piece
00:18:31.480 for National Review yesterday, that Cornell is in the top five of universities nationwide
00:18:39.500 that have faced lawsuits by male respondents who claim their cases were handled unfairly.
00:18:45.580 It's one of the top five most unfair to men being accused. And that's the unfortunate news for your
00:18:52.700 client is he happens to go to this Ivy League university that does not appear to believe
00:18:57.240 in due process for men accused by young women. It's really outrageous. Okay, so the essay,
00:19:04.640 the temporary suspension, and now we saw in that video at the top of the show,
00:19:08.880 he's still trying to complete his education there. We believe he's a senior. How's that going?
00:19:14.620 Yeah, it's not easy, certainly. I mean, he's trying to get to his classes and complete his
00:19:20.920 degree eventually but as you can imagine it's incredibly difficult um his name his reputation
00:19:28.180 everything has been affected by this his family's name um they're getting doxed online i mean he's
00:19:34.060 having safety concerns so it's really scary um and unfortunately or fortunately he's able to be on
00:19:41.380 campus right i mean he served his sanction and that's concluded and he is permitted to be back
00:19:47.580 But unfortunately, people, you know, don't see it that way and want him to not be there any longer.
00:19:54.700 So it's it's really, really difficult.
00:19:57.140 You know, I mean, he's just, I think, trying to get by the day to day right now.
00:20:02.100 Did things change in the past week?
00:20:04.780 Because I understand, you know, the students on Cornell University campus generally knew who the accuser was and who the accused were.
00:20:13.540 but this week it's gone viral because she filed her civil lawsuit naming them and now the whole
00:20:20.640 country knows so did things change this week oh absolutely in the past week or two absolutely
00:20:25.240 i just said not i mean this was something that occurred two years ago you know so people knew
00:20:30.180 about it at the time people talked about it there was the rumor mill but after that things had really
00:20:34.540 quieted down um and there were some of the students that were not permitted back that were
00:20:39.420 expelled. But the past two weeks, things have just really, you know, spread like wildfire. And
00:20:45.760 he's had to deal with things that have not been an issue until this case was filed.
00:20:51.920 It's very hard to get into Cornell or any Ivy League university. It's harder than ever.
00:20:59.020 He's now done four years there, which is also an accomplishment in and of itself.
00:21:03.500 Does he worry now about getting a job? I mean, that's the goal when you leave a university,
00:21:09.420 Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And I'm sure they all do. I mean, you know, putting aside what's happening on campus, like I said, his name's out there, his picture's out there. And regardless of what happens in the civil suit or with the DA, you know, whether they decide to go forward if there are criminal charges, regardless of what happens with any of that, this information has spread so dramatically across the news, across social media, that it's going to be out there and it's going to live on the Internet.
00:21:39.420 you know, forever. So that's certainly, I think, and he hasn't said that to me directly,
00:21:44.340 but I have to imagine that all of these dependents are feeling that way.
00:21:48.680 We have a lot of moms who watch this show. Can you speak at all to how his parents are handling this?
00:21:54.400 Yeah, I think as any of us would, I'm a mom too. I have boys. So, you know, this is certainly
00:22:00.460 something that I think about a lot. And I think they're devastated, right? I mean, to go through
00:22:06.320 not only the the university process in itself was incredibly emotionally taxing um it was a long
00:22:14.380 process there was uh you know a lot involved in that and then getting to the point where you get
00:22:19.720 a sanction and then serving that sanction and feeling as though it's over only to be faced with
00:22:25.120 this now and to have this kind of attention and focus on on your son on your family it's it's
00:22:31.200 it's awful it's awful what they're dealing with and i they're concerned for him understandable
00:22:36.280 Yeah. Oh my gosh. I'm sure. I'm sure they're all, all the families must be devastated right now. I'll ask you about what she alleges. You can tell me whatever you can. She alleges in her civil case that Matt Ingalls was the one we referred to as man number one. That's the one she showed up at the Chi-Fi house to see. They danced together. He said, can we have a threesome with somebody? And she alleged to police that she said yes.
00:23:04.840 Then she alleges in paragraph 158,
00:23:06.800 at one point defendant Ingalls
00:23:08.220 could no longer maintain an erection,
00:23:10.400 so he stopped participating and told the other two 0.72
00:23:12.800 he was going to take a nap and proceed to get up,
00:23:15.020 move to a bed and sleep.
00:23:16.760 Defendant Newell, that's defendant number two, 1.00
00:23:19.840 then began reaching for her vagina 1.00
00:23:22.080 with his hand multiple times, 1.00
00:23:23.300 and each time plaintiff pushed his hand away.
00:23:25.020 Paragraph 160, soon after defendant Lopes,
00:23:28.180 and it is Lopes, it's not Lopez, you tell us,
00:23:30.980 entered the room,
00:23:31.760 grabbed plaintiff away from defendant Newell and began kissing her while defendant Newell 1.00
00:23:36.780 groped her from behind, specifically reaching for her vagina. Paragraph 161 defendant Lopes 0.99
00:23:42.040 and Newell then placed plaintiff on a bed and the two men began having sex with plaintiff 0.83
00:23:46.200 initiating another assault. This is her lawyer's language and her civil complaint
00:23:50.640 all without plaintiff's consent. So that's, I mean, there's a few more allegations,
00:23:55.500 but that's the crux of it. Does he deny those allegations?
00:23:59.240 Yes, that's just not factual. It's not what was presented in the hearing through any of the testimony through the evidence. It's just not factual and it's just mischaracterized. And I mean, one thing I'll say is that the amount of information included in the complaint, which is, I think, 101 pages, is very limited.
00:24:19.700 And this was a proceeding that took place for months that resulted in an investigative record about 1,500 pages long that included 50 witness interviews and 12 and a half days of a hearing.
00:24:34.940 So there's just much, much more background and context and detail than what's being presented in this complaint.
00:24:44.720 And your client is male number three in the allegations, just to be clear, yes?
00:24:49.700 Uh, I believe so.
00:24:52.480 Yeah. Okay. Mel number three. Okay. Then, um, does he deny that he had sex with her that night?
00:25:00.200 No. 0.84
00:25:01.580 Okay. And his defense is that it was consensual.
00:25:04.720 Correct.
00:25:06.060 And what about the drugs? Like how big a factor was the ketamine at the title nine hearing?
00:25:12.560 it was extensively discussed um there were a lot of questions about it uh not surprisingly
00:25:20.100 um the testimony provided was was pretty inconsistent as far as the timeline uh i don't
00:25:28.740 think there's a dispute that it was present at some point but it it it's still not exactly
00:25:33.560 clear to me what the timeline was as far as when when if at all the complaint had consumed any
00:25:42.500 when that happened and who was involved.
00:25:46.520 Did the university expel people, can you tell us, based on the drugs
00:25:51.920 or based on the allegations of sexual assault?
00:25:56.000 It's hard to separate out.
00:25:57.580 I mean, I would say if there was solely an allegation of drug use,
00:26:00.860 probably not.
00:26:02.180 You're probably not looking at an expulsion.
00:26:04.460 But here the relevance is to the question of capacity.
00:26:07.580 So, you know, in looking at the allegations of sexual assault,
00:26:11.180 the question is whether she was incapacitated such that she could not consent because of her
00:26:17.620 consumption of different substances that night.
00:26:21.280 And that was something that we've now heard from the DA for Ithaca and the county there,
00:26:28.020 that he felt he could not prove in a court of law that she was incapacitated based on her own
00:26:34.440 six-page, single-spaced typed statement that have, according to him, 20 of her handwritten notes.
00:26:42.380 So she edited it, she added to it, and then she signed it under penalties of perjury.
00:26:47.180 And he believed that that statement, which we haven't seen, what made clear that throughout
00:26:52.960 that night, there was not an issue of her capacity, that while she was increasingly intoxicated,
00:26:59.280 It was always her own choice at her own hand and that she never reached the point of full physical incapacitation, meaning unconsciousness or inability to speak or interact.
00:27:11.400 Is that your understanding?
00:27:13.580 I mean, again, it's a bit hard for me to speak to.
00:27:15.900 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.
00:27:29.980 So how long did the whole thing go on?
00:27:33.080 How many hours did this happen over?
00:27:36.500 The alleged event we're talking about, I believe.
00:27:40.280 Yeah.
00:27:40.740 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.
00:27:50.480 Okay.
00:27:51.320 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. that morning.
00:27:57.720 But she, do you know, is that when she left the Ki-Fi house?
00:28:02.280 Because she said she fell asleep for a time.
00:28:03.840 Yeah, she may have fallen asleep for some time after the last sexual encounter that 0.93
00:28:08.480 she had and left later that morning.
00:28:09.780 I don't recall if it was 11 o'clock.
00:28:12.100 That could be right.
00:28:13.060 I just don't recall exactly.
00:28:15.640 Okay.
00:28:16.320 So there were, as I read the complaint and the six-page statement, the excerpts that
00:28:22.540 we've been given, et cetera, it looks to me like there were three sexual interludes that
00:28:27.180 she had in the course of that time. There was, um, the first one, which I think was with Matt
00:28:34.600 and, uh, this other guy, number two. And then there was a second one, which involved Matt and
00:28:40.840 your client. And then there was a third one later in the evening. Is that correct? That sounds
00:28:46.540 correct. Okay. So what you're saying is you feel very satisfied that she had capacity when she was
00:28:56.000 with your client, you're not going to speak to what her status was or how she was on the third
00:29:01.260 interlude. Correct. Okay. Um, and they have separate counsel, those young ones. You only, 0.97
00:29:08.960 only represent Lopes. Yes. Okay. Um, and so does Lopes admit to drug use that night?
00:29:16.980 No, he didn't use any drugs that night. Okay. So she's accusing him, I think,
00:29:22.680 I think she's accusing all seven of them, excuse me, of snorting ketamine off of her, quote, perfect body.
00:29:29.940 He says that's not true?
00:29:31.400 That is not true.
00:29:33.100 Okay.
00:29:33.640 And did he do one of the hair follicle tests like Scott Kretschmar did to prove that he did not take ketamine?
00:29:42.940 I don't believe so.
00:29:43.920 I think Scott K. was the only one who did that.
00:29:47.160 Okay.
00:29:47.740 But it was not, he wasn't found guilty of it, I guess.
00:29:50.980 Is that the way to phrase it at the Title IX hearing?
00:29:54.100 He, sorry, he being Scott or my client?
00:29:59.060 Your client. 1.00
00:29:59.640 Yeah, Lopes.
00:30:00.300 Yeah, sorry.
00:30:01.080 No, I believe the hearing panel had found that he wasn't involved in the use of the
00:30:05.360 academy that night.
00:30:07.060 Okay.
00:30:07.900 So what was he, is found guilty the right word?
00:30:11.060 I mean, what was he?
00:30:12.000 Found responsible.
00:30:14.280 What did they say he did, the Title IX panel?
00:30:17.000 He was found responsible for some violations of their policy.
00:30:20.980 I don't know that I want to go into too much detail on that.
00:30:24.640 Okay.
00:30:25.580 There is a remarkable report in UnHerd today, the reporting by our friend, Sarabha Mari,
00:30:31.720 who spoke with the lawyer representing this other defendant, Scott Ketchmark.
00:30:38.580 And that lawyer tells UnHerd that during the proceeding, at least during Scott's portion,
00:30:45.320 I don't know what your experience was, the chief investigator for the Title IX team
00:30:49.740 was in her car. She was driving for 45 minutes of it. And that at another point, he could see
00:30:57.240 from her glasses that she was surfing online, like barely paying attention to evidence that
00:31:03.880 his lawyer said was actually exculpatory for Scott. What was your experience and Jillio's?
00:31:11.980 I do recall that. I think everyone made note of that. I mean, this was a long proceeding. Like I
00:31:16.900 said it was 12 and a half days of testimony but there was one point probably about halfway through
00:31:22.500 where it wasn't the hearing chair it was one of the other panelists where everyone noticed that
00:31:27.580 she was in a car she had the seat belt on and you could kind of see movement from driving in in her
00:31:32.780 glasses so i mean do you think they were taking this seriously at you know these so-called
00:31:39.440 investigators and those who are going to be determining these boys fate i think they were
00:31:43.860 taking it seriously i don't know that they were perhaps or at least this particular individual
00:31:49.320 was paying attention as much as she should have been throughout the entire thing um but i do think
00:31:54.420 they were taking it seriously and in terms of recognizing how how serious the allegations were
00:31:59.780 um but that was one of the the concerns that we had with with the process i mean you know from
00:32:06.000 our perspective there were a number of things cornell did in terms of their uh handling of
00:32:10.880 the case, which I don't think were perfect, but that was one thing I know that a lot of the
00:32:14.920 advisors picked up on. Yeah, you would definitely want them to be paying attention when you're
00:32:20.020 presenting your exculpatory evidence. So now we're seeing text messages between Jane Doe and
00:32:29.600 a number, actually, of the boys after the fact. Definitely with Matt, also with defendant number
00:32:37.480 two, and maybe some others. Some of it, the reporting is confusing because they don't
00:32:42.920 reveal the names in each instance or they block them out. But is that your understanding that in
00:32:48.600 the days after this happened, all of the text messaging from Jane Doe reflected a woman who
00:32:55.460 believed that the experience had been consensual? There were some that indicated that, yes. I think
00:33:02.760 the ones more close in time to when the events happened, I think that did shift as more time
00:33:08.480 passed. But the initial ones, there was certainly some indication of that.
00:33:13.660 And as somebody yesterday had emerged, and we spent some time on this on the show,
00:33:17.300 that the six page statement to which she swore under penalties of perjury did not use the word
00:33:22.880 rape, except in a hypothetical context, like, geez, if I had fallen asleep and they had sex 0.97
00:33:27.540 with me, that would have been rape. But she did not actually accuse them of rape in that statement. 0.89
00:33:32.160 Is that true? I have to check that. That sounds correct. I think, you know, it's important to
00:33:38.640 keep in mind, though, from the university's perspective that that's not how they define
00:33:42.920 a violation of policy. Right. So from their perspective, it's a question of whether it
00:33:48.200 was consensual or not. So it could have been that she had that in mind when she was drafting
00:33:54.340 the statement. But I don't I'd have to double check if she used that word.
00:33:58.500 did the university find the young men responsible for rape so they wouldn't find them responsible
00:34:07.020 for rape because that's not necessarily the the the terminology used it would have been
00:34:11.860 sexual assault that they would classify it as was anyone found lie or responsible for sexual assault
00:34:18.400 expelled uh i i don't know for certain because i don't know every sanction that was imposed
00:34:23.680 for all seven of them. Okay. But some were found responsible for sexual assault in the eyes of the
00:34:30.540 university. Why do you think the DA is reopening this case and now going to submit it to a grand
00:34:38.680 jury? I mean, to me, it seems like pressure to do so. I mean, people are outraged, understandably.
00:34:45.860 I mean, if they're hearing the way that she's presenting the case, of course, people are going
00:34:49.640 to be horrified and outraged at what's being said. So I think it is just that pressure to
00:34:55.000 take another look at it. And if they didn't do any real investigation at the time, you know,
00:35:01.760 perhaps they feel that that now is the time to do it to make sure that they reach the right
00:35:05.720 decision initially. What do you think people out there need to know about this case that they don't
00:35:12.040 know? I think they need to understand that there's a lot more to what happened. And again, I'm not
00:35:19.100 speaking for every defendant. I'm not saying there was no wrongdoing, you know, or things that
00:35:25.160 happened that maybe shouldn't have, but there's a lot more that needs to be considered. And this
00:35:31.440 is all going to come out through the case, right? I mean, we're in the early phases of the complaint
00:35:35.600 just having been filed. There's going to be discovery and depositions and a lot more information
00:35:41.220 is going to come out. So I would just, you know, encourage people to be perhaps a bit more open
00:35:46.540 minded and not immediately jump to conclusions about about who did what and who's guilty or not.
00:35:53.760 Are there are you thinking of documents that you've seen that are going to come out or do you
00:35:59.240 think it's testimony that you're going to elicit? Both, but probably primarily the testimony,
00:36:03.800 because that makes up the majority of the investigative record.
00:36:09.500 There is an allegation that The New York Times is repeating today from the Title IX proceeding
00:36:15.620 that this Jane Doe told at least a roommate that she had been sexually assaulted before.
00:36:23.660 This is not her first accusation of sexual assault. Is that news to you?
00:36:29.340 I don't want to comment on that one. You know, I want to respect the privacy on her past history.
00:36:34.460 Okay, sure. And can you confirm, you know, I'm not going to ask you to name the Jane Doe, but is it your understanding that she is from the South, from Alabama?
00:36:49.820 I recall she's from somewhere far from New York. I honestly don't recall exactly where it was.
00:36:56.540 But I'm pretty sure she said something about living a few thousand miles away. So I know it wasn't in the tribe.
00:37:02.460 Yeah, a thousand. 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?
00:37:22.400 I mean, there's a couple of factors.
00:37:23.640 I think it jurisdictionally probably made the most sense because of where all the defendants
00:37:27.300 are located or the far majority are located.
00:37:29.560 I'm sure that was consideration number one.
00:37:32.840 But I do think New York State as a general matter, you know, is pretty accommodating
00:37:39.500 in terms of allowing for parties to proceed by pseudonym.
00:37:43.120 Mm hmm.
00:37:44.760 The I think the biggest thing that led to this getting revived by the D.A., who seems
00:37:51.240 to not think that there is a case here is the Snapchat exchange, which he says he didn't have
00:37:57.680 at the time. But he also says he thinks it's irrelevant legally. But it just reflects so
00:38:02.800 poorly on the young men involved, the free P word upstairs. And then we learned overnight that
00:38:08.680 there's another piece of the exchange where someone texts shop still open and someone else
00:38:15.180 responds, yeah. Just let me ask you explicitly whether Lopes is involved in the excerpts that
00:38:22.100 we've seen. He is not. And that was something that was confirmed through the hearing process
00:38:26.600 as well. He was not on there. He was not active in that group. And actually, the first time he
00:38:32.240 ever saw it was in his second interview with the investigators in February of 2025.
00:38:39.420 So can I get you to comment on that? Because, you know, if you heard me yesterday, you heard me
00:38:43.820 say there's a serious moral problem with the exchanges here. And, you know, I have my own
00:38:50.080 judgments about even what happened in that room, even if it were consensual. But I don't think a
00:38:55.620 crime was committed, as I also said. But can you speak to the moral outrage piece of it and
00:38:59.720 what the young men are thinking about that now? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's awful. I was sitting
00:39:06.020 with him in that interview when we saw that for the first time. And I think we were equally
00:39:09.480 horrified, you know, to see people even talking in that way. And yeah, I mean, putting aside the
00:39:15.560 fact that it may not on its own be a violation of any policy or a crime necessarily to talk in that
00:39:21.660 way, it's disturbing. And I'm sure that, you know, the men that are on there are embarrassed as they
00:39:28.720 should be. And so, you know, I certainly agree. I mean, to see people talk in that way is very
00:39:34.700 upsetting. This is a weird question, maybe, but I, you know, part of me is shocked to, to see even
00:39:43.100 what we do know happened in there with, you know, three different threesomes and the, the drugs that
00:39:48.300 part of me is shocked that kids who work this hard to get into this elite institution would
00:39:53.840 behave like that. I'm maybe I'm just naive Tara, but can you shed any light on it? Uh, I think I,
00:40:00.240 you know i no longer share um any of that naivete just because i've been doing this for long enough
00:40:06.180 to to see this over and over again not to this level but um you know just seeing kids who are
00:40:11.900 away from home for the first time and experimenting with different things regardless of whether it's
00:40:16.820 a huge ivy league school on the east coast or small liberal arts on the west coast um
00:40:23.340 kids do dumb things right and hopefully it's not to this extent where it leads to
00:40:29.060 conduct findings and sanctions and potential criminal activity, right? I mean, we hope that
00:40:35.020 it's things that are just a matter of a learning experience, but it doesn't surprise me because
00:40:41.300 we've seen this over and over. Again, not to this level, but we, you know, every day we're
00:40:48.520 getting calls of different things that people have concerns about with their universities and
00:40:53.260 colleges. One of the concerns, and I thank you, I'm grateful to you for being here today,
00:41:02.560 is the doxing not only of the young men, but their lawyers. This Jeremy Salon, who represents
00:41:11.780 the other guy I mentioned, he came out and said he personally is being doxed. I'm going to play
00:41:18.240 that soundbite, it's number seven. We're interpreting that snap now as something horrible
00:41:24.120 and horrific. And it may have been, but he did not know this. And that's why he went there and
00:41:27.780 he was looking for his roommate or his friend who had left the room at the time. So I don't know
00:41:32.300 what else we could do. And I just, please, I've been, I have gotten docs that you can't fathom
00:41:37.920 to the point about me being Jewish, Zionist rapist. I should be raped. My family should be 1.00
00:41:45.760 brutalized my 0.78
00:41:47.480 address, everything. I'm getting calls
00:41:50.060 every 30 seconds. I'm getting calls
00:41:51.740 as I'm sitting here with you. Threats and threats
00:41:53.880 and threats. People need to pause
00:41:56.060 understand the facts
00:41:57.940 and if there needs to be accountability
00:41:59.560 there should be accountability. But if there doesn't
00:42:02.380 give someone the benefit of the doubt 0.71
00:42:04.320 she could be a victim
00:42:05.560 and even if she really is in full extent
00:42:08.060 it doesn't mean that Scott
00:42:09.960 who is not someone who did anything
00:42:12.000 wrong should be victimized 0.61
00:42:13.760 and abused and thrown over the coals, 0.94
00:42:15.900 raked over the coals.
00:42:18.080 Are you worried about that, Tara,
00:42:19.580 for you and your other lawyers?
00:42:22.120 Yeah, I mean, I, you know,
00:42:23.420 certainly in coming on to speak with you,
00:42:25.480 it's something I thought about
00:42:26.680 in terms of, you know,
00:42:28.260 people having a perspective
00:42:29.800 about this case.
00:42:31.800 And, but like I said,
00:42:33.140 there's a lot more here that,
00:42:35.780 and like Jeremy said,
00:42:37.300 I mean, there's a lot of facts
00:42:38.180 that have to come out
00:42:39.000 and I think people need to pause
00:42:40.680 and just wait to see,
00:42:42.520 you know, what happens with the case and where this goes, because it's easy to rush to judgment
00:42:48.380 based on the information that's been shared in the media. But there's a lot more that needs to
00:42:52.440 be considered. Really? So do you think the people who have rushed to condemn these boys as gang
00:42:57.620 rapists might wind up embarrassed? I hope they I don't know that they'll wind up embarrassed or
00:43:04.780 that I hope they do, but I hope they they can be open minded and revise their opinions when
00:43:10.560 warranted. Wow. Some of the craziness we've heard has come from random people online. Some
00:43:17.900 has come from some of the most powerful lawmakers in America. Your client is just a kid at Cornell
00:43:24.900 University. It's a lot to have, you know, people like Chuck Schumer attacking him explicitly,
00:43:33.700 the Senate minority leader, but he did. Schumer posted on X the following. The allegations of
00:43:39.200 sexual assault and rape at Cornell University are horrifying and deserve a thorough investigation
00:43:43.180 that leaves no stone unturned. It took extraordinary courage for this young woman to come forward
00:43:47.780 to university administrators and police. I mean, already she's the courageous one. This is already
00:43:54.440 assuming something illegal happened and that she's got the courage and she's the one we should
00:44:00.420 be celebrating. It's very wrong for a politician to be doing this. He goes on, what she reported
00:44:05.120 demanded urgency, seriousness, and an unflinching pursuit of the truth from the very beginning.
00:44:09.840 Sexual assault remains far too common on college campuses across America and the culture of silence
00:44:14.860 and complicity that allows it to persist must be confronted. It's incumbent upon all of us,
00:44:19.540 elected officials, university leaders, faculty, and students to build campus communities
00:44:23.080 where sexual violence is never tolerated, maximized, or minimized or ignored. There
00:44:28.640 must now be a truly independent and exhaustive investigation, not only into what happened,
00:44:33.800 but into how this case was handled from the moment she came forward.
00:44:37.180 Every fact must be uncovered.
00:44:38.400 Every failure must be examined.
00:44:40.380 Wherever wrongdoing occurred, there must be accountability.
00:44:43.160 She had the courage to come forward.
00:44:44.440 No survivor should have to summon that courage
00:44:46.840 and then fight the system to make it respond.
00:44:50.340 Your reaction to that?
00:44:51.580 I mean, I agree with the majority of what he's saying.
00:44:53.500 And there's no question that sexual assault is a problem on college campuses.
00:44:57.440 And we know that.
00:44:58.340 And the data shows that.
00:45:00.440 But that doesn't mean that that's what happened here.
00:45:02.380 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?
00:45:17.340 I don't know. I mean, I think the process that is in place, it does work, not 100% of the time,
00:45:24.460 but like I said, I've been to a lot of these hearings, and when the processes are implemented
00:45:29.460 and followed, they do reach correct outcomes. I assume you do not want to see a restoration of
00:45:36.160 the Barack Obama era of Title IX enforcement? Preferably not.
00:45:41.960 Yeah, I mean, I can I can speak to it myself.
00:45:45.200 Absolutely not.
00:45:46.000 I've seen too many boys lives get ruined with no really no appeal.
00:45:50.620 Even if you find the devastating text message after the fact, the universities, they don't care and they don't listen.
00:45:55.420 Here's Elise Slotkin, who is a Democrat from the state of Michigan, U.S.
00:45:58.860 Senator. 1.00
00:45:59.900 We know what it's like when institutions fail women.
00:46:03.300 Now it's time for Cornell to step up and treat this with the seriousness they should have treated it two years ago.
00:46:09.600 that institutions have plenty of tools and accountability measures, they can remove students.
00:46:19.320 They can suspend them indefinitely until the court proceedings. They can do a million things.
00:46:27.360 Writing an essay, in my mind, is not part of that list. When we make the decision that because
00:46:33.400 young men have a promising career ahead of them that they shouldn't face accountability
00:46:40.660 for violently assaulting a woman like then we've lost our way what's your response to that
00:46:48.780 i mean again with the essays that that wasn't the outcome so i agree that there should be
00:46:54.000 accountability and there are plenty of cases where that's appropriate and it may have even
00:46:57.860 been appropriate here with respect to some of the defendants but this unfortunately is another
00:47:02.980 you know, snapshot of people who don't have all the facts and are reading what's, you know,
00:47:09.040 the soundbite that's been circulated and gone viral as far as what the allegations are.
00:47:15.220 Last but not least, the folks on TikTok are having themselves a week.
00:47:20.500 Your client has to live with this and get confronted by random
00:47:24.180 co-eds on campus as a result of this kind of rhetoric. I'll play some for you.
00:47:28.700 ruin their futures ruin them fucking ruin their futures because maybe just maybe if we hold young 0.99
00:47:40.860 people accountable then we won't have rapist presidents and that is a future that i would 0.98
00:47:48.440 love love love to see if you're gonna do the crime ruin ruin ruin their futures i really do believe
00:48:00.640 that every single person who is in that group chat who's chose not to speak up is complicit in
00:48:05.020 this violent crime the gutless bystanders are just as culpable in my opinion if a dog were to
00:48:11.640 bought you what would happen the dog would be put down okay justice will be served because if it's
00:48:18.880 my daughter you guys would be hanging upside down in my basement slowly bleeding but violence is not
00:48:23.240 the answer guys unless it comes to my kids i haven't been able to stop thinking about the 0.96
00:48:27.380 cornell rapists i don't call them the cornell seven because they're rapists so we call them
00:48:32.960 the cornell rapists what do they need to know about julio that they don't know i think they
00:48:41.040 need to wait and see what the evidence shows i mean like i said um she was not incapacitated at
00:48:47.080 the time that he was involved with her um the evidence shows that the the decision shows that
00:48:54.100 he was not aware of the snapchat messaging so i'm not you know again saying that there was no
00:48:59.380 wrongdoing here to some degree but there there was no evidence sufficient to show that there
00:49:07.780 was a crime committed. And, you know, I'm all for accountability as well. And certainly if there
00:49:13.460 were some of these defendants and students that were accountable, right, they should be held
00:49:18.780 responsible for that. And they were. They were imposed sanctions. So, you know, it's not like
00:49:23.820 they're found responsible and automatically permitted to return to campus and go about
00:49:29.080 their lives. I mean, they did receive sanctions from the university. To those who say he walked
00:49:35.360 in there this is a woman who is clearly high or drunk out of her mind and he should have turned 0.85
00:49:40.380 around and walked right back out and or stopped the whole thing what say you that's not how she
00:49:47.640 was presenting and the evidence will show that she was not presenting in a way that would have
00:49:52.580 suggested that she was not aware of what was happening so he thought she was she had total
00:49:59.060 capacity and was there enjoying herself i don't know that i would phrase it exactly like that i
00:50:04.940 I think I'll leave it at that, though.
00:50:07.200 Okay.
00:50:07.940 Fair enough.
00:50:08.760 Listen, thank you.
00:50:09.780 I know it's risky, sadly, for you personally to come out and speak to this, which is very,
00:50:14.760 very wrong.
00:50:15.600 Everyone accused deserves a good lawyer.
00:50:18.320 That's how our system works.
00:50:20.140 And your client deserves to have people stay open-minded to what his defense is before
00:50:26.260 he's had the chance to present it publicly.
00:50:27.880 He should not be dragged in this way.
00:50:29.660 We really appreciate it, Tara.
00:50:30.860 Thank you.
00:50:31.420 Thank you.
00:50:32.420 All the best to you.
00:50:33.200 You too.
00:50:33.300 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.

00:51:17.340 perfect document that they file with the county, transferring your home into their name, and then
00:51:22.400 use your ownership to take out loans or sell it for quick cash. This is evil. It's called title

00:53:20.580 Search technology at Capital One Canada.
00:53:25.500 I'm swimming in information here, swimming in it, like drowning in it at the moment and
00:53:35.960 trying to keep it all straight for you. But here, here's the chronology. I didn't want to waste
00:53:40.900 Tara's time with going through the text to the text to the text. She was very forthcoming. That
00:53:46.160 is the most forthcoming we've heard any defense lawyer representing any one of these seven be.
00:53:51.740 so credit to her. A lot came out overnight, so I want to go through it with you. First of all,
00:54:02.040 you've got, okay, the reveal of texts from October 23rd. This is four days after the incident,
00:54:12.140 all right? And they don't make clear who she was talking to in this text exchange, but she writes,
00:54:19.840 bro everyone knows and then the peace sign i'm incredibly stressed out some random blocked out
00:54:27.640 told some of my friends i don't even know who that is how blank she know me how blank she know me so
00:54:35.460 i don't know exactly who she's texting with i'm going to guess it's defendant number one who's
00:54:41.580 matthew um because that seems to be her main friend at ki-fi and the one identified as male
00:54:48.900 number one, who opened the door, with whom she danced, who she thought was attractive, etc.
00:54:53.020 And then she texts him, still on October 23rd, four days after the incident, I will also say,
00:54:58.600 this is ruining my life temporarily. My reputation is destroyed, and I'm utterly ashamed. That's
00:55:07.860 extremely important right there, because that's the motivation. I mean, her defenders will say
00:55:15.780 that's the consequence of being gang raped. And I think there's a very strong argument by the young 0.88
00:55:21.700 men that it's the reason she changed her story. It's the reason she went from very clearly
00:55:28.500 saying, I consented to this and nothing illegal happened, which was another text she sent right
00:55:34.080 around this timeframe to one of the young men, to I was gang raped and it was not consensual and I
00:55:40.300 was incapacitated the whole time. And she's kind of telling us right here in her own words,
00:55:44.100 my reputation is destroyed and I'm utterly ashamed that all these people know. She says it.
00:55:52.300 All these people know my reputation is destroyed. I'm utterly ashamed. Then his piece of this
00:55:58.320 exchange, whoever she's texting with is blocked out by ABC. She goes on to say, you're right.
00:56:03.220 It'll get better. And thank you. Everyone's just jealous of us. But also like everyone needs to
00:56:09.040 grow up. Listen to this. Cause sexuality and sex and blank is changing and stuff like this is going
00:56:15.980 to become more common. I'm also really open-minded though. I love you King. Also tell anyone who
00:56:22.960 gives you blank that I'll actually beat them up that don't want the smoke. I promise. So she seems
00:56:30.840 to be saying to this guy, October 23rd, again, I'm just guessing it's male number one, Matthew,
00:56:36.580 that, um, she's mad. Her reputation is destroyed. She feels ashamed because everyone's talking about
00:56:45.420 it. And she says, I'm stressed because some of my friends know. And how do these people know
00:56:51.340 about it? And then he apparently says, everyone's just jealous of us. And she responds, you're right.
00:56:57.800 It will get better. And you think everyone's just jealous of us, but also everyone needs to grow up
00:57:04.520 Because sexuality and sex, it's changing.
00:57:08.660 And stuff like this is going to become more common.
00:57:11.820 I'm also really open-minded, though.
00:57:13.760 And then I love you, King.
00:57:15.380 This is one of her alleged rapists, we think, that she's talking to.
00:57:23.020 I love you, King.
00:57:24.180 I mean, if this really is defendant number one, Matthew, this is just a deeply problematic text for her side.
00:57:33.560 I love you, King.
00:57:34.520 I'm just really open-minded. Sex and sexuality is going to become more common like this,
00:57:42.240 meaning threesomes, obviously. This is devastating. Okay, now that was 1023.
00:57:49.080 Now, as I pointed out to you in the New York Times piece today that has the Title IX
00:57:57.040 hearing information in it, there is a reveal about what happened around this Halloween party
00:58:05.860 that was just devastating for Ki-Fi. Okay. Yeah. By the way, the New York Times confirms that that
00:58:11.020 October 23rd text is with man number one. His name is Matthew Ingalls. I guess we're going to
00:58:19.000 out them all. The New York Times has named him. And they also confirm, she wrote, bro, everyone
00:58:26.120 knows. This episode is ruining my life temporarily. My reputation has been destroyed. And then they
00:58:31.140 add that she wrote all she could do was sleep and cry all day. He assured her it would blow over
00:58:35.860 soon, noting how fast nonsense spreads at this school, saying she did not have anything to be
00:58:40.920 ashamed of. You're right, she responded. It'll get better. Okay, then she had a text with her
00:58:47.000 big sister that week. She wrote to the big sister, have you heard the rumor about your little? In
00:58:55.380 the meantime, Jane Doe had delivered strict instructions to one of her roommates. If anyone
00:58:58.580 asks about this, say it didn't happen. The roommate was plainly concerned. Initially,
00:59:03.660 the roommate said, Jane Doe was quote, kind of recounting it as this crazy, this sort of crazy
00:59:08.680 thing that she had done. So the roommate's confirming that Jane Doe came back from the house
00:59:12.760 and just thought it was a crazy thing she'd done, a crazy night she'd had. And then I told you in
00:59:16.860 that one text, she was saying people to her big sister, people are saying, I'm a slut and they're 1.00
00:59:22.080 right. Ha ha. I've got to tell you something. Okay. I told you yesterday that I was in Tridel 1.00
00:59:28.080 and you know, there's a, there's, I loved Tridel for the year that I was in it. And I deactivated
00:59:35.240 the next year because as I told you yesterday, I had a boyfriend who was in an athlete there and
00:59:39.520 they couldn't, he wasn't allowed at any of the parties. So I'm like, I don't want to go to these
00:59:42.100 parties. What am I doing here? Anyway, um, the, the, you've, you've probably heard the saying
00:59:48.040 of tridellt is tridellt everyone else has. And I'm not going to lie, there was a reputation
00:59:52.800 amongst some that they were kind of easy. Not yours truly, something I've always prided myself
00:59:59.120 on. Not easy. Really, not easy in any way. But anyway, there was a reputation in that the saying
01:00:06.800 was tridellt everyone else has. This girl seems to be leaning in saying, I just, you know, very
01:00:14.420 open-minded and sex and sexuality, it's all changing. And you know, like she's kind of cool
01:00:18.560 with all this. And then says to the, to the big sis, allegedly that there are rumors circulating
01:00:26.360 that I'm a slut. And then says with a laugh quote, unfortunately they're true. Now that was two days 0.99
01:00:32.160 after the alleged rape, the alleged gang rape. Now she, she's saying to her, people are calling
01:00:37.740 me a slut and they're right. Okay. So this is like, this is the, these are the initial texts 1.00
01:00:45.020 that same day, October 21st, she received a text message from defendant number two. His name is
01:00:51.420 Jonathan Newell. This is the one who tweeted out or Snapchat, Snapchat it out. So it's spelled
01:01:04.060 differently, Jonathan Newell, in the Snapchat free P word in the alumni PU. I don't know what
01:01:09.800 that stands for. It was an alumni room. So defendant number two, you know, we had some
01:01:14.120 harsh words for him yesterday. He's going to have to spend some time reconciling his behavior
01:01:20.100 with what I assume his parents taught him is ethical conduct. And she does have a text with
01:01:28.220 him. He was engaged in at least two of these threesomes, Jonathan Newell, allegedly. And
01:01:34.260 she has a text message with him on October 21st. That reads, this is according to the New York
01:01:45.940 Times' report of the Title IX proceedings. She got a text message from him, one of the men she
01:01:52.820 would go on to accuse of sexual assault. Quote, I just wanted to apologize for how things went
01:01:56.780 down the other night. He then said that both he and Matthew Ingalls, defendant number one,
01:02:01.080 another of the men she would lead or accuse of assault, both felt terrible for being too under
01:02:04.660 the influence of drugs and alcohol to, quote, shut it down and kick people out before it got
01:02:08.760 way out of hand. Jane Doe replied and assured him, quote, at the end of the day, none of the
01:02:14.360 sexual stuff was illegal. And honestly, I really liked being with you and Matt, end quote.
01:02:20.580 I mean I'm pretty sure that the parents of Matthew Ingalls and Jonathan Newell are probably very
01:02:30.060 outraged even though their son wrote that ridiculous snapchat and probably is the one
01:02:36.300 who got this whole thing reopened he's got it in writing from this woman that she enjoyed 0.98
01:02:41.800 her sex with him and that initial threesome that she enjoyed it and that none of it was
01:02:48.740 illegal in her viewpoint. Again, that's not determinative, but it's not helpful to a
01:02:53.540 prosecution. Then things started to change a bit. Well, actually, before we get to that, okay.
01:03:02.060 Then she had the, then she had an exchange on October 25th. Defendant number one, Matthew
01:03:07.220 Ingalls, texted her, you good? She replied that defendant number two, Mr. Newell, had, quote,
01:03:13.540 definitely told people. Days later, she sent Matthew Ingalls an image of the forum post
01:03:20.400 that she had found. She said while she was randomly surfing, suggesting there'd been a
01:03:25.900 gang rape at Ki-Fi, and she sent it to Matthew with three question marks. And he responded,
01:03:32.220 ridiculous. I'm going to report that. Ridiculous. I'm going to report that. 0.99
01:03:37.320 So there we are in late October with these exchanges, and there's nothing about a rape. 0.95
01:03:43.100 There'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. 0.89
01:04:00.460 Then comes, according to the New York Times, the Halloween party. 0.95
01:04:06.940 As Halloween approached, Jane Doe's roommates told investigators her understanding of what
01:04:11.000 happened appeared to have shifted.
01:04:14.140 Around October 28th, Mr. Ingalls was on the phone with Jane Doe, and according to one
01:04:18.740 of her roommates, who said she overheard the conversation, he apologized to her.
01:04:23.400 But rather than assure him everything was okay, Jane Doe took a different tone.
01:04:27.460 Quote, how could you let this happen?
01:04:29.780 End quote.
01:04:30.220 The roommate recalled her saying, quote, I think she wanted it to be consensual.
01:04:35.200 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.
01:04:49.780 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.
01:04:58.360 So here is the roommate admitting that she is the one who introduced the concept of rape 0.84
01:05:04.060 to Jane Doe. She'd also read online that someone got gang raped at Ki-Fi, but it is the roommate
01:05:11.480 telling her, you're not a slut. You were gang raped. And the roommate testified to this, 1.00
01:05:19.100 that I would tell her this is what could be classified as rape. Okay, but Jane Doe was not
01:05:26.260 yet deterred from her desire, I think, to be with defendant one Matthew Ingalls, who
01:05:33.100 she thought she was attracted to, who she said she enjoyed her interlude with, who she
01:05:37.160 danced with and went to the Chi-Fi house to be with on the night in question.
01:05:41.640 The Times reports at Chi-Fi, the fraternity was preparing for a Halloween party and Jane
01:05:46.560 Doe was eager to attend. 0.74
01:05:48.720 Now, I've got to ask you if you have just been gang raped by four to seven fraternity 0.94
01:05:55.100 members at Chi-Fi, why would you be eager to attend a party at the fraternity house?
01:06:03.700 This is what came out at the Title IX hearing. She was eager to attend. She said, I am a slut.
01:06:11.000 She said, attitudes about sex and sexuality are changing. This is going to be happening a lot 1.00
01:06:15.660 more frequently. Okay. She's eager to attend the party at her alleged gang rapist's house.
01:06:24.580 Text messages included in the investigation show Matt Ingalls assuring Jane Doe that he
01:06:29.780 and other frat members wanted her to be there.
01:06:32.580 Quote, Ki-Fi is your house and you are welcome here, end quote, he wrote, relaying the views
01:06:37.020 of the fraternity's president who was not among those accused of sexual assault.
01:06:41.340 She responded, quote, thank you.
01:06:43.580 I really appreciate that, end quote.
01:06:45.420 And then added, quote, with a heart, I'll bring my cigs tomorrow, end quote.
01:06:50.400 But then, this is critical in my view, Jane Doe received a phone call from the fraternity's president, according to the text messages.
01:06:58.860 She was disinvited from the party.
01:07:01.560 It was for her own good, he said. 1.00
01:07:05.200 Now, I'm just going to say that was colossally fucking stupid. 1.00
01:07:12.780 Absolutely idiotic by that guy. 1.00
01:07:16.580 Now you're going to step in? 1.00
01:07:18.960 Now you're going to enforce some sort of moral code around her wellness and safety.
01:07:24.500 Dude, what did you think was going to happen?
01:07:29.520 Did you think that was going to make her feel all warm and fuzzy about Chi-Fi and the guys in it? 0.81
01:07:36.280 Or do you think that might light a fire under this woman who's already being told by her roommate she was raped
01:07:43.960 and starting to rethink the narrative around that night, according to that roommate.
01:07:52.100 So, and by the way, if you think she's in danger and it's for her own safety
01:07:56.640 in terms of coming back to Chi-Fi, you get your young men in order.
01:08:00.320 You have a little team meeting where you say no one lays a hand on her.
01:08:05.060 Everybody better behave like a perfect gentleman.
01:08:08.640 Or you know what? You cancel your party that year.
01:08:12.400 Just absolutely idiotic. 1.00
01:08:16.520 So it set her off. 1.00
01:08:19.740 She sent a biting text, not to the fraternity president, but to her friend, Matthew Ingalls.
01:08:25.640 I knew this was going to happen, she wrote.
01:08:27.940 The woman will always get the short end of the stick.
01:08:30.100 I read this earlier with Tara.
01:08:32.140 Y'all aren't my friends. 1.00
01:08:34.080 Y'all are covering your asses. 0.99
01:08:37.640 That is all right in advance of Halloween. 0.99
01:08:41.660 It's not dated in the New York Times.
01:08:45.940 Then, okay, by November 3rd,
01:08:49.280 she appears to have concluded that she was assaulted.
01:08:52.480 She sent a text to Mr. Newell.
01:08:56.060 Mr. Newell, by November 3rd.
01:09:01.800 Okay, and in that November 3rd text,
01:09:04.640 She wrote, let's be clear that 90% of what happened that night was not consensual.
01:09:10.660 I was given more key, meaning ketamine, than I can remember.
01:09:15.140 And I know that I told you I felt uncomfortable and I didn't know anyone in the room.
01:09:20.840 The text continued with her telling Newell, defendant number two, that one of her only 0.99
01:09:27.980 memories was doing ketamine off of his penis. 1.00
01:09:31.020 quote, in front of everyone like a sex doll slash worker, end quote. 1.00
01:09:39.560 This is not good for the young man, of course. And now she is saying it was, most of it was 0.95
01:09:45.160 non-consensual. I told you I felt uncomfortable. I didn't want anyone in the room and that she felt
01:09:51.680 like she was a sex doll or sex worker. Now, feeling like a sex doll or sex worker was going 1.00
01:09:57.220 to happen to virtually anybody other than one of these paid prostitutes. You know, if you go into 0.99
01:10:04.960 a room and voluntarily have sex with four to seven men, it's really only four, she's saying, 0.60
01:10:09.220 you're probably going to feel like that. That's why you shouldn't do it, among the many, many
01:10:12.640 reasons. And by the way, she showed up at the Chi-Fi house at 11 o'clock on, you know, some
01:10:19.340 evening, the October 19th. Let me, pro tip, nothing good is going to happen to you if you show up at
01:10:26.340 a fraternity house on a college campus at 11 p.m. any night of the week. Ever. Ever. And then
01:10:34.420 as soon as you go upstairs with somebody, guess what? They're going to think it's consent to
01:10:40.900 sleeping with them. Virtually every single man on earth is going to think you would like to have
01:10:47.700 sex with him. If you show up at the fraternity house at 11 o'clock at night, then willingly go
01:10:52.940 upstairs with them. And according to Jane Doe, this Matthew Ingalls then turned around to her
01:10:58.300 and said, would you consider having a threesome with another guy and me? And she said, yeah,
01:11:03.600 actually, yes, I would like to. So now you're really telegraphing consent, which she's completely
01:11:10.880 rejecting now. But those facts we know from her, from her six-page statement. So here we go. That
01:11:19.560 was November 3rd when she said it wasn't consensual, a lot of it. I told you I felt
01:11:25.360 uncomfortable. I didn't know anyone in the room. And the one memory was doing ketamine off of
01:11:31.900 your penis in front of everyone like a sex doll slash worker. Now on November 7th, she went to 1.00
01:11:38.500 an emergency room in Ithaca and requested a rape kit. I haven't heard much about what happened
01:11:43.360 with the rape kit, but I don't think from sexual interludes that happened on October 19th,
01:11:50.420 there would be anything relevant or probative by 11-7 other than possibly that bruise she said
01:11:57.180 she got on her rear end from one of the threesomes where she alleges defendant number two, that's
01:12:03.300 Newell, slapped her rear end hard. So it's possible that was noted, but I don't think any evidence of
01:12:11.320 actual intercourse would still be there. November 7th, that same day, male number one, this Matthew
01:12:17.640 Ingalls texted her, quote, my ex told me I'm being labeled an assaulter in the public eye.
01:12:25.400 I was going to ask if you may have said something along those lines to someone,
01:12:28.800 but I know you wouldn't. Then she responds, quote, I had a friend who was going to Chi-Fi
01:12:37.000 and I said, don't, but I've never mentioned your name.
01:12:43.760 She also then writes to him, I haven't said anything, but I do know people are changing
01:12:49.480 the narrative because like in any sexual scenario with one woman and many men, the woman was
01:12:55.420 probably the victim. You can see it's changing, right? It's changing, but she doesn't say you
01:13:03.560 raped me. What she doesn't say to Matthew Ingalls is, you and your friends raped me. I was out of 1.00
01:13:09.940 my mind, drunk and high. The next day, November 8th, he asked for a phone call. And by this point,
01:13:18.360 she's been to the, you know, in for a rape exam. She said she was done talking to him and that she
01:13:25.360 knew he, quote, lied. ABC says it's unclear what she was referring to when she says he, quote,
01:13:31.780 lied. He asked what she meant and asked her to call. And she answered, quote, no, never again.
01:13:39.380 I mean, he must have known he was effed by this point. About a week later, she gave a sworn
01:13:44.920 statement to Cornell police saying she felt incapacitated, declined some of the sexual
01:13:49.820 activity, and that the encounters, quote, felt like coercion. She, of course, then filled out
01:13:56.500 a six-page statement in which we believe she did not accuse them of rape explicitly
01:14:01.560 and did recount multiple instances of turning down certain sex acts that night and so on.
01:14:10.160 You know, her whole story seemed to indicate consciousness and ability to control her
01:14:16.700 conduct, which is deeply problematic for any prosecutor trying to prosecute this as a rape
01:14:23.140 case. So those are the reveals that we got overnight about the text messaging. And you can see
01:14:31.120 exactly what I predicted yesterday. She did this. We used to call it Sunday morning regrets back in
01:14:39.760 my day. She felt like a slut. She tried to laugh it off. She felt ashamed. She was still talking 1.00
01:14:47.420 to Matthew, the one she liked. She felt like maybe something could happen there. And then that
01:14:54.500 idiotic university president barred her from the Chi-Fi party, honestly. I realize this isn't the 1.00
01:15:02.600 main issue. I'm just saying, how fucking stupid can you be? And I think that really set her off. 1.00
01:15:09.860 She had the roommate in her ear saying, this sounds like rape to me. And slowly but surely, 0.60
01:15:16.840 she was getting pissed off because word was getting around campus and clearly the guys had
01:15:21.260 talked. And she didn't really want that. You know, at first with them, she's like, well,
01:15:26.900 sex and sexuality are changing. But what she really wanted was for people not to know what
01:15:31.060 she did. Because even in 2024, then America, there was a judgment attached to repeated group sex,
01:15:39.440 three threesomes in a night, which is kind of a relief to find out that there's still judgment
01:15:46.260 around that. And now here we are. Now here we are. Yeah. She filed the civil lawsuit. Again,
01:15:53.540 we're going to find out who she is. I do believe she's the gal from Alabama that is being named 1.00
01:15:59.800 online. I'm not naming anybody, not being absolutely sure who it is, but there's one
01:16:06.460 woman from Alabama. I mean, people, the online sleuths basically figured out who was in Tridel
01:16:10.240 at the time. And there were only about 50 young women. And then they figured out who didn't stay
01:16:15.280 at Cornell because this gal did not stay at Cornell. And then they got it down to about 10
01:16:19.720 or 12. Then they figured out who was from a town about a thousand miles away from Cornell because
01:16:25.380 she alleges in the complaint that she was from a small town around a thousand miles away. And that
01:16:30.600 made the list even shorter. Then they started to do further detective work, like who stopped
01:16:37.960 posting on Instagram around this time, et cetera. And they did get to a name. Again, we don't know
01:16:43.160 that it's this person who's being named, but she is this person who they, the internet believes it
01:16:47.960 is, is from Alabama. And Jane Doe hired a lawyer who's admitted in Alabama, who may be from
01:16:53.880 Alabama, the main guy who's representing her on the case. So he's got a New York address and he's
01:16:59.460 got an Alabama address. So that's interesting too. I guess she lives in New York now, but
01:17:04.700 query that connection. Why would she be hiring? Why would a New York plaintiff be hiring an 0.98
01:17:11.220 Alabama lawyer. And look, I stand by what I said yesterday. I just don't think there is any reason
01:17:20.300 when you are talking about a civil lawsuit asking for money to protect the identity of a woman
01:17:29.360 alleging rape when she names all of the defendants. This has to stop. We are treating women like it's
01:17:37.920 the handmaid's tale and that, you know, there's a paternalistic society that controls everything 0.62
01:17:42.920 around them and that somehow they're to blame for even for the real victims. You know, let's say she
01:17:48.560 actually is a real victim and all of this is true. They gang raped her. There's no shame on the 0.98
01:17:55.340 victim. We have been saying that we won't say the names of rape victims for a long, long time now
01:18:03.140 because they get shamed. Why do they get shamed? It's not a fucking rape victim's fault when she
01:18:07.880 gets raped. The shame is on the defendant. So this whole policy comes out of an anachronistic 1.00
01:18:15.140 understanding of this paternalistic society and how a woman's chaste reputation must be maintained.
01:18:23.300 And I'm sorry, but we are equal participants with equal power in society now. And this rule
01:18:29.140 is outdated. It's actually a sexist rule, sexist against women, treating them as like the fairer 0.84
01:18:36.140 sex that doesn't have equal power in America. And the way it's being applied here, and in many other
01:18:42.600 cases, is it's unfair to the male defendants. It's another serious problem of doing this.
01:18:49.520 Now, I'm not sure if I would feel this way if there had just been criminal charges brought
01:18:53.400 against these guys, because that's, I mean, I don't know. It's probably the same feeling. But
01:19:00.320 for sure, when it's a civil lawsuit and the person's trying to get money, she's like, pay me?
01:19:06.140 Like, I want to get paid. And by the way, let's not forget this woman never went back to the DA. 0.77
01:19:11.580 She never went back and said, now I have a Snapchat message. Please look at this and
01:19:14.920 consider charging. She never used her lawyer to say, please reopen the case. Why don't you
01:19:19.900 interview me? You never did. She went right to the tort claim with her palm out asking for money.
01:19:26.440 I just don't see, there's no ethical impediment stopping any media person from naming her.
01:19:32.020 so we'll find out who she is at some point soon i'm sure and it's unclear whether the new york
01:19:41.340 courts will even allow her to maintain that cloak of anonymity though it being new york i would
01:19:46.980 imagine they will um okay we're gonna move on to other news can we talk about picky eaters for a

01:23:05.200 Hey everyone, it's me, Megan Kelly.
01:23:07.620 I've got some exciting news.
01:23:09.540 I now have my very own channel on Sirius XM.
01:23:13.000 It's called the Megyn Kelly Channel, and it is where you will hear the truth, unfiltered, with no agenda, and no apologies.
01:23:19.120 Along with the Megyn Kelly Show, you're going to hear from people like Mark Halperin, Link Lauren, Maureen Callahan, Emily Jashinsky, Jesse Kelly, Real Clear Politics, and many more.
01:23:28.460 It's bold, no BS news, only on the Megyn Kelly Channel, Sirius XM 111, and on the Sirius XM app.
01:23:39.540 There was a Lindsey 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.
01:23:51.020 Kevin Reddington is out for that guy's scalp.
01:23:53.840 But there was some talk around it.
01:23:56.760 And the nation's jaw collectively dropped when Kevin Reddington suddenly, after a whole trial of admitting, was never in doubt, that his client, Lindsay 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.
01:24:22.360 side 11 where is the evidence that she did this the evidence is that she cut her wrists cut her
01:24:31.000 throat standing in front of the mirror blood drops then went over to the window and propelled
01:24:36.680 herself out of the window your honor heard evidence that she indicated that the screen
01:24:40.780 was cut your honor also heard evidence that in fact the screen was not cut
01:24:45.520 your honor could infer obviously as a rational jury could infer that in fact this is a false
01:24:50.900 memory that she had, because she believes that the screen was cut. And it wasn't.
01:24:55.560 But in any event, she propels herself out the window
01:24:58.500 and sustains the injuries that Your Honor is well aware that she sustained.
01:25:03.800 Your Honor recalls looking at the blood spatter
01:25:06.580 evidence and the drops on the floor. Where are the smears
01:25:10.420 from a person who has just cut their wrists, cut their throat, is in a
01:25:14.680 state of psychosis that throws themselves out a window.
01:25:18.040 Where are the smears from that person walking across the blood up to the window?
01:25:25.260 What?
01:25:27.120 What are you saying?
01:25:28.980 You already admitted this at the trial.
01:25:31.960 Now he's trying to do a defense on the merits like she might not have done it, like actual innocence.
01:25:37.680 He's getting like crazed with his power.
01:25:41.580 He's drunk on his own wine.
01:25:43.300 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.
01:25:55.420 Look at him. He's like, I'm going for the straight all out innocence now.
01:26:00.620 OK, a little preview of what trial number two is going to look like.
01:26:04.060 He doubled down just in case you think that was a one off here in SOT 12.
01:26:07.600 this entire case is based on speculation where is the admission where does she say that she did
01:26:18.480 this and what's most chilling is the fact that when she comes out of this obvious coma that she
01:26:28.460 is in that when she comes out of it your honor heard the testimony from the psychiatrist and
01:26:34.340 from the doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
01:26:37.500 She was told what happened.
01:26:40.980 She had no memory of what happened.
01:26:44.800 Why does she recall cutting the screen?
01:26:47.160 Why does she recall killing the children
01:26:50.160 where she's told what happened and had no memory?
01:26:55.820 There's no evidence that she admitted that she did this.
01:26:59.540 So you have no evidence from the defendant.
01:27:02.260 In Massachusetts, an uncorroborated statement of a defendant obviously is not evidence.
01:27:06.220 You have to have corroboration.
01:27:07.320 I submit to the court there is no evidence.
01:27:09.160 She made any statements as far as the actual killing of the children, which forms the basis of the indictments.
01:27:17.580 This is so crazy.
01:27:18.780 He's trying to relitigate the whole case now.
01:27:21.500 OK, your trial is over.
01:27:23.260 It ended in a mistrial.
01:27:25.520 Your client is likely to be retried.
01:27:27.480 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.
01:27:36.120 But he is going to reindict her short of that.
01:27:38.900 And at that trial, you can go for this argument, Kevin Reddington, and argue actual innocence.
01:27:44.100 For some reason, you failed to in trial number one.
01:27:47.760 And maybe you're now going to get attacked as having provided ineffective assistance.
01:27:52.480 maybe lindsey clancy's going to actually appeal the mistrial or the the grant of one saying i was 0.96
01:27:58.860 ineffectively assisted by this idiot who gave up the farm by not arguing that i was actually 0.85
01:28:03.900 innocent um which is what he did don't trust me here's a soundbite for you with kevin reddington 1.00
01:28:12.720 then versus now. Watch. This is a woman that did not get the medication,
01:28:22.820 did not get the medical treatment that she so deserved. This is a woman that was suffering from
01:28:31.760 psychosis at the time that she went down to that basement.
01:28:37.360 Where's the evidence that she did this? Where is the evidence that she did this?
01:28:42.720 Okay. What happened in the basement is the murders. I mean, there's just been no question
01:28:48.880 that she did it all along. The husband, like his testimonial, like everyone knows she did it.
01:29:00.900 And Kevin Reddington did not dispute, did not dispute and admitted that she was in the basement,
01:29:08.960 that she was she was under psychosis when she went down to the basement.
01:29:14.040 That's that was the defense. It's very strange.
01:29:17.500 And he was asked about this reversal when he went on the show of our pal Billy Bush,
01:29:24.100 hot mics on Tuesday. Watch here. Stop 14.
01:29:27.840 Today, it felt to me, you know, honestly, that you opened the door a little bit to what actually happened.
01:29:32.840 And and and his involvement again, did you go one way back and then the other way?
01:29:38.100 No, not at all. Again, as I already said, what I did was argued exactly what I argued in my
01:29:44.780 closing to the jury, exactly what I argued in motions for required finding. The government
01:29:50.920 has to prove probable cause. I don't care, full stop, whatever the case may be. If they can't
01:29:57.640 prove the guilt of the citizen based on their investigation, that person's entitled to a not
01:30:03.460 guilty, regardless of what a defense may be. And this investigation was so horrific,
01:30:10.360 so atrocious, that it just defies, it boggles the mind why this investigation ended up the way it
01:30:18.380 did. So I had to raise that issue on the motion for a required finding. Okay, but you blew it
01:30:24.640 because you didn't raise it in the trial in chief. And in fact, what we heard in the trial in chief
01:30:29.120 was testimony from Patrick Clancy,
01:30:32.980 the victim's father,
01:30:35.700 about Lindsay's call to him
01:30:38.620 a week after the murders.
01:30:40.680 Quote, she said she heard a man's voice
01:30:44.000 telling her that if she didn't do it now,
01:30:47.060 she would lose her chance
01:30:48.680 or something like that. 0.98
01:30:50.080 I mean, this is what they fucking gave up the farm on this. 0.99
01:30:52.160 Get it together, sir. 0.99
01:30:53.740 Okay, get it together. 0.99
01:30:55.180 It's ridiculous. 0.99
01:30:56.960 She did it. 0.98
01:30:57.680 Good luck trying to persuade a jury otherwise.
01:31:03.480 There's news about the holdout juror.
01:31:06.980 He, as you may know, issued a statement on tape saying, I didn't have any doubt, actually.
01:31:12.660 I had no doubt.
01:31:14.020 And then his attorneys went on panity on Tuesday, and they are none too happy with Kevin Reddington
01:31:22.520 for besmirching their client as a lying felon, accusing him of lying under oath, which is a
01:31:29.560 felony, repeatedly just for doing his civic duty. Listen here, Asat 15.
01:31:37.040 Oh, Sean, I can tell you, we're going to file a bargain plan. Look, he filed, in his words that
01:31:42.500 we just heard a second ago, he said that all he's done is file a motion. Well, even if you take that
01:31:49.440 is true, which it obviously isn't. The motion that he filed was unprecedented. You don't attack
01:31:55.820 jurors this way. You don't single them out. And we're going to file a bar complaint. I want your
01:32:00.860 audience to know. I want you to know that that's happening. Absolutely. And here's the holdout
01:32:06.260 juror himself. Hi, my name is Michael Peggy Desronville, also known as the lone juror.
01:32:13.060 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's at hand.
01:32:23.320 The ones that can't speak for themselves, the ones that can't defend themselves, and the ones that can't fight the battles.
01:32:31.140 And those are Cora, Dawson, and Callan.
01:32:35.280 A little bit about me.
01:32:37.320 I want to thank God for my Catholic faith.
01:32:39.880 I want to thank God for blessing me with the ability to love my daughter.
01:32:46.640 And foremost, I would like to thank everyone, every individual that has supported me throughout this difficult situation.
01:32:56.780 Your prayers, your emotional support, your psychological support is tremendous to my heart.
01:33:06.080 that I feel, that I sense, that I know.
01:33:11.200 I do want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
01:33:14.320 Thank you.
01:33:16.040 There you go.
01:33:17.140 They're filing bar complaint against Kevin Reddington
01:33:19.540 as well they should.
01:33:22.280 How dare he accuse a juror of committing a felony
01:33:27.680 in the middle of the trial
01:33:29.960 because he won't come to a verdict
01:33:32.360 along the lines that defense counsel wants.
01:33:34.840 That is so outrageous. And now he has spent weeks attacking and defaming this private citizen.
01:33:43.860 It's just beyond the pale. And honestly, all of the defense lawyers and prosecutors in Massachusetts
01:33:52.820 should join in this motion. They should make an example out of this guy. The judge should throw
01:34:00.300 the book at Kevin Reddington. He should be outraged, this judge in this case, and the
01:34:05.740 bar should throw the book at him in the ethical proceeding. There is zealous advocacy, which
01:34:12.520 is expected of every lawyer, and then there is harassment of a juror proceeding in good
01:34:19.020 faith. This is deeply wrong. The attorney went on to speak a bit about what has happened
01:34:27.120 to Michael Desronville, the holdout juror, since Kevin Reddington began his nonsense. Here's Thought
01:34:32.780 16. His life has changed dramatically. He has been docked. He has been threatened. He has been
01:34:40.500 harassed. But as I've said, Michael is absolutely indestructible. He will not be broken by this.
01:34:48.700 And he has remained calm, cool, and collected. And the man that you saw on that video is
01:34:56.460 Michael. Michael is a man of devout Catholic faith who loves his daughter, cares very deeply
01:35:03.820 about the three innocent children who were murdered, and is somebody who cares also
01:35:10.700 very deeply about the United States Constitution and following the law and following the evidence.
01:35:17.880 This is just so insane. So the drama there goes on and on and doesn't look like it's coming to
01:35:23.620 a close anytime soon. There will be a hearing about the holdout juror. It was rescheduled
01:35:29.160 because they hadn't copied his lawyers and given them enough time to respond to all the
01:35:33.980 allegations swirling around him. So they asked for that to be postponed, which was accommodated
01:35:39.520 by the lawyers, the prosecution and defense. But we will be getting to that. And when we
01:35:44.020 do, we will have it covered for you. Okay, there is other legal news that we need to
01:35:49.120 get to on a case we spent a fair amount of time on last week, which was the murder accusations
01:35:57.180 against so-called pastor, music pastor, worship pastor, Caleb Flynn. This guy in Ohio who was
01:36:05.140 married to Ashley for 15 years. They have two daughters. And this is the guy who had tried out
01:36:13.300 for American Idol. I failed. And he said his wife was just so very pretty, Ashley, and he loved her
01:36:20.940 so much and she encouraged him to try out for American Idol, but he failed. And then 15 years
01:36:25.660 later, I guess her good looks had waned in his eye because he started banging some 20-year-old
01:36:32.780 who frequented his church, Alea. And he had an affair with Alea for some two years or so,
01:36:40.480 18 months to two years. And this is Caleb and his wife, Ashley. And this Alea and he had over
01:36:49.200 100,000 text messages with one another referring to poor Ashley as, quote, douche and bitch 1.00
01:36:57.360 and other choice terms. Both of them called her that. By the way, all the testimony was that 1.00
01:37:03.140 Ashley was such a lovely person. And the text messages from her to Caleb, her husband,
01:37:07.260 showed somebody who was actually quite sweet and loving.
01:37:12.120 She clearly at one point found out about the affair
01:37:14.420 because at one point she said, like, where are you?
01:37:17.920 And he said he was working and she said, be honest, are you with her?
01:37:22.320 I mean, like, can you imagine?
01:37:24.400 Most of us would have been, like, driving there in our bathrobes
01:37:28.640 with our, you know, moisturizer all over our face,
01:37:32.180 banging on whatever door he said he was behind.
01:37:34.280 Like, it would not be, are you with her? 1.00
01:37:36.280 it would be, I'm going to fucking kill this person. Not really, but just like yell at. 1.00
01:37:42.640 Anyway, he shot his wife twice in the head as she lay sleeping and then tried to claim that
01:37:50.100 an intruder had come in through the garage door while he was out of the room in with the daughters
01:37:54.540 and he was shock, shock. They had a fan on and they didn't hear it. And, you know, he just
01:37:58.760 couldn't believe it. And he called 911 and, you know, got the worst actor award for his ridiculous 0.98
01:38:03.800 histrionics and within days was arrested. And in the closing argument, his lawyer 0.73
01:38:09.620 went for it, um, really went for it and went after Alaya and basically tried to tell the jury,
01:38:18.320 how do you know she didn't do it? Which was a good card. He should have played
01:38:23.160 even harder during the course of the trial. But here's a bit of that in SOT 17.
01:38:27.960 The judge is going to provide you instructions. And basically the bottom line is you can believe
01:38:32.620 or disbelief all or any part in any way
01:38:36.080 that's his testimony.
01:38:39.180 So let's do a little test.
01:38:42.080 Should we believe Aliyah?
01:38:45.500 If you believe that she was a virgin
01:38:47.500 and she did Caleb, 0.99
01:38:48.780 I have some swamp plant that I would like to sell you. 0.88
01:38:52.260 And then you have the unmitigated gall
01:38:56.320 to lie to the FBI.
01:39:02.620 Okay, she wanted to save her reputation.
01:39:07.940 How would you do that?
01:39:10.280 The issue here isn't whether he was a good husband, 1.00
01:39:15.380 was he an asshole, 1.00
01:39:18.580 or any other label you want to put on him. 1.00
01:39:23.280 Bad husband.
01:39:25.480 That's not the issue.
01:39:32.620 So there you go.
01:39:40.460 If you could, if you could not hear it, he asked, should we believe Alaya?
01:39:44.520 If you believe that she was a virgin when she did Caleb, I have some swampland I would like to sell you.
01:39:49.660 OK, well, was the jury persuaded that they should find him not guilty because Alaya may have done it?
01:39:57.640 Here's the verdict.
01:39:58.860 Sat 18.
01:39:59.420 we the jury in this case being duly impaneled and sworn find the defendant caleb c flynn guilty of
01:40:07.660 aggravated murder as charged in count one of the indictment we the jury in this case being duly
01:40:13.080 impaneled and sworn find the defendant caleb c flynn guilty of murder as charged in count four
01:40:19.140 of the indictment at this time juror number one mr applegate were these verdicts your own yes okay
01:40:26.560 Thank you. Ms. Atkins, were these verdicts your own? Members of the jury, you are now discharged
01:40:34.960 from your duties. Thank you. Ms. Osendorf, if you would walk them out.
01:40:47.400 The defendant, who has been crying more than John Boehner at a tearful event,
01:40:54.500 has been in tears the entire time.
01:40:58.480 And of course, when his own fate was determined,
01:41:00.620 he blubbered like a small toddler.
01:41:03.260 He will now be going to prison 0.99
01:41:04.680 and no one gives a shit that he is upset about it. 0.98
01:41:07.140 So goodbye, Caleb Flynn. 0.98
01:41:09.300 I wish you no good luck.
01:41:10.840 I actually hope you do not enjoy prison,
01:41:13.700 but that some of your prison,
01:41:16.440 fellow prisoners do enjoy your stint there.
01:41:18.760 And I'll just leave it at that.
01:41:20.420 I want to give you the latest on Presley Gerber
01:41:23.260 because there's news via TMZ on that today.
01:41:27.560 And it's unbelievable, guys.
01:41:29.020 It's unbelievable.
01:41:31.360 So, you know, all along we've been having,
01:41:33.940 I had questions about why was he in this,
01:41:37.680 what kind of a rehab can you OD in?
01:41:41.100 You know, and I told you that I had a loved one
01:41:42.860 who went to Karen Rehab here in the Northeast
01:41:45.440 and you could not get anywhere near there
01:41:47.500 with anything even approaching intoxicating in your bag
01:41:52.460 or for your loved ones, stuff that, you know, you would never think would be used as a drug,
01:41:57.260 would be confiscated from you as a visitor. So I didn't understand this. And then it turned out
01:42:02.800 he wasn't at a rehab facility. He was at a, like a sober house, which is much, much short of a
01:42:10.660 rehab. Okay. I don't, I still didn't understand why they would take somebody who's an active
01:42:15.780 addiction, quite clearly, and put him in a sober house. And now TMZ is reporting on that. And it's
01:42:23.200 pretty clear now. TMZ reports that Presley Gerber did have a sober coach. Remember I had said,
01:42:34.180 why not have a sober coach? There is somebody you can pay to follow you around when you're
01:42:38.080 really vulnerable to make sure you don't drink. He did have a sober coach. They say he had a sober
01:42:42.960 coach, the sober coach had planned to take Presley to an rehab facility, an actual rehab
01:42:48.120 facility, the following Monday, but needed to put him somewhere over the weekend. So he took him to
01:42:55.080 this place called Resolutions and just left him there. Here is Harvey Levin expanding on Presley's
01:43:03.060 last hours, SOT 22. I want to tell you what I know about Presley Gerber's death, and I know a lot.
01:43:12.280 I want to start with the Saturday morning before he died, 24 hours before he was found dead.
01:43:21.100 Presley Gerber was in a therapy group with other men and was very open about his struggles,
01:43:30.440 about his personal life, about his battle with substances.
01:43:37.020 That morning, I am told he was fine.
01:43:42.280 He was not high. It changed midday.
01:43:46.140 There were people who had contact with him in the middle of the day on Saturday.
01:43:52.000 And it became apparent that Presley Gerber started to circle the drain.
01:43:59.300 He was clearly high and scared.
01:44:02.320 Um, what people around him told me is that he was actually scared that something bad
01:44:11.380 was going to happen to him and felt a need, uh, to get some help.
01:44:17.240 Now he was with a sober coach at least part of the day and at around six o'clock in the
01:44:23.900 evening on Saturday, that sober coach, we're told, contacted Resolutions Living. The sober
01:44:33.680 coach, we're told, contacted Resolutions and said, I want to bring Presley in, but I need
01:44:43.380 you to know that he's high. And the facility said, bring him in. Just bring him in. Presley
01:44:53.280 Gerber is in this house and nobody is looking. Where is the sober coach? If the sober coach
01:45:03.680 knows that he was high going in, where is the sober coach in all of this? Because based on what
01:45:12.780 we know, it appears that sober coach was nowhere in sight. So he got dumped there by his sober
01:45:20.900 coach. And TMZ also obtained this video of Presley, which they say he took of himself
01:45:28.420 Saturday evening around 10 p.m. He would only have, what, 12 hours to live? He looks very thin.
01:45:38.380 It's being shot on the side and then back up. It looks jumpy, TMZ says, because they had to
01:45:43.700 slow it down. But he's showing his room. It's supposed to be luxury accommodations.
01:45:49.080 and I don't know whether this was posted
01:45:52.080 or just found on his phone.
01:45:53.620 I mean, honestly, if this was just on his phone,
01:45:55.600 then they got this from his family,
01:45:58.340 which is very strange.
01:46:00.320 Why would the family be leaking videos
01:46:03.340 of Presley Gerber to TMZ?
01:46:06.640 Perhaps he posted it on his social media
01:46:08.880 and then took it down.
01:46:10.320 We didn't see it
01:46:11.240 and we checked the social media right away.
01:46:13.640 I don't know how we got our hands on this,
01:46:18.020 but it is disturbing to see Presley Gerber within hours of his death when he had no family around
01:46:25.920 him, clearly no friends, and no sober coach to protect him. It's very sad. They also, TMZ,
01:46:35.240 did caught up with this Dr. Reza Nambavi, who owns Resolutions, and they asked him,
01:46:40.980 why would you admit somebody while high? I'm just going to show you just a little bit of this,
01:46:45.280 top 24. Doctor, why would you admit Presley Gerber into your sober house if you knew he was, he was
01:46:54.400 high? Is there anything you could say to the public? That's it. She keeps firing questions
01:47:03.480 at him and he keeps walking away because he knows all of this is deeply problematic.
01:47:10.380 More on that as we get it. And we will see you again tomorrow. Thank you for tuning in.
01:47:15.280 Thanks for listening to The Megyn Kelly Show. No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
