Megyn gives her instant analysis reaction to the monumental news that Sean “Diddy” Combs has been found not guilty on the most serious charges he was up against, the two guilty verdicts he did receive, and more.
Then, she is joined by legal experts Arthur Aidala and Phil Holloway to talk about why the not guilty verdict in most of the counts is a huge win for Diddy, the way the defendant celebrated the ruling, why this might have been predictable given the way the trial developed, Diddy’s outrageous actions in the courtroom after the verdict was read, whether the jury got it wrong, and more.
Then, we turn to the live Bryan Kohberger plea hearing with Howard Blum, author of When the Night Comes Falling, and legal expert Matt Murphy to discuss the depravity of the Idaho murders as Kohberger pleads guilty, the disconnect between the prosecution and the victim’s families, whether this feels like justice for the victims, the most extraordinary moments during the plea hearing, the prosecution’s failure to pursue the death penalty after insisting they had the evidence for it, questions around the ethics of the decision to allow the plea to happen, the anger at least one Idaho victim family feels at the prosecution, the prosecutor’s performative tearing up while talking, the judge mispronouncing the name of one of the victims, speculation that Kohberger wanted the plea deal to save his parents from testifying, whether Kohberger might be able to get out of jail eventually, and more.
