Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Serious XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly and welcome to the Megan Kelly show. We have a bonus

episode for you today because there was explosive testimony from lawyer Ashley

text messages. The text messages are just sort of a snippet of all of this. We know

that there's conversations that Ashley has had with Terrence Bradley and she talked

about some of those today.

In fact, she let us know that this whole thing with him began when they happened to be in the same courtroom at the same time
