Summary

Megyn Kelly begins the show by breaking down the latest developments in the death of 18-year-old Mississippi teen Nolan Wells, the evidence that points to drowning, the major questions that are still remaining about what may have happened, the introduction of race into the story through Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton, and more. Then Caitlyn Becker, host of "NY POSTcast," joins to discuss the release of Nolan Wells' family's private autopsy results, why the cause and manner of death remain undetermined, the contemptible way Crump and Sharpton are pushing a racial narrative, social media posts and a key image connected to the Nolan Wells mystery, why investigators are still awaiting a full autopsy and complete investigation, and more. Then Dave Aronberg, host of The MK True Crime Show, Matt Murphy, host of In The Well, and Arthur Aidala, host of The Arthur Aidala Power Hour, join to discuss how Ben Crump and Al Sharpton are undermining the Nolan Wells case, the total lack of evidence of a crime, Karmelo Anthony's lawyers' attempt at getting him a new trial, their claims about an "off the record" gentleman's agreement that prosecutors violated, the crucial question of why Anthony didn't testify in his defense, new exclusive reporting about why Sunny Hostin's son was handcuffed after allegedly trespassing on railroad tracks, Hostin was using her "privilege" to get him out of trouble, Timothy Busfield's strange comment in court about his potential misconduct with young boys, whether prosecutors will and should drop the charges, and more.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
0:12.2	Hey everyone, I'm Megan Kelly. Welcome to the Megan Kelly Show. Kelly's Court is back in session on the docket today, several hot button topics.
0:20.2	We will discuss whether the judge
0:21.7	should throw out the trespassing violation against Sonny Hosten's son Gabriel. We'll also take a
0:27.6	close look at new court documents filed in Carmelo Anthony's murder conviction appeal. His lawyers are
0:35.5	blaming the prosecution for the fact that Carmelo never took the stand
0:41.1	in his own defense, and the DA in the case is now speaking out. We'll show you that. But we begin
0:47.2	with new developments in a story getting a lot of attention right now, and that is the death of 18-year-old
0:53.2	Nolan Wells, a Mississippi college freshman

1:31.6	phone made it back onto his friend's boat, the friends returned to shore without Nolan, but Nolan
1:39.2	did not. Why would Nolan separate from his phone? And why would his friends have the phone but not Nolan?
1:47.2	They also say local authorities were too quick to believe that this was an accident.
1:51.5	This is the parents expressing their doubts, Nolan's parents, instead of launching a full investigation.
1:57.1	The parents believe that they can't trust the local authorities.
2:01.5	And believing that, they reached out for help and, of course, made the critical error of turning
2:07.5	to Benjamin Crump and Al Sharpton, which completely changed this entire case.
2:12.9	Because if you want to be taken seriously by most of the country, you should never reach out to those
