Today, we're going to be talking about what the hell's going on with these Taylor Swift, Billy Eilish situations.

We've got a massive update regarding the New York City Hospital City Bike situations, massive manhunt underway for a murderer.

We're talking about all that and so much more on today's brand new Philip DeFranco show.

So buckle up, hit that like button.

Let's just jump into it. with, a convicted murderer is on the run right now in South Carolina, but people are actually

more divided on this than you might expect. And that's primarily because a judge released him. Let me

explain. So this is Jared Price. He was convicted of murder for killing 22-year-old Carl Smalls

Jr. at a nightclub in Columbia back in 2002. And after serving 19 years of his sentence,

a judge the day before he was set to retire, signed and sealed an order for Price's release in March. There, citing repeated instances of Price assisting the corrections officers.

Once he reportedly intervened when inmates were beating on an officer and preparing to stab him.

Another time, he reportedly tackled an inmate that hit an officer with a broom. And most importantly,

the order cited Price tipping off officials about the escape of a fellow inmate. So that happens, and the family of Carl Smalls ends up receiving a phone call one morning in March, saying, the man who killed their son would be released that day. With the family completely blindsided by this,

and Smalls' father saying, they just turned everything all over again. Or so then, they tell David Pascoe,

the attorney who prosecuted Price for the 2002 murder and who is now, notably, a chief prosecutor in

Columbia, with him in turn contacting the state's attorney general and several reporters, and that starting the process that led to Price's case reaching the state Supreme Court. Now notably, many states, including South Carolina, have laws that allow for the early release of inmates that offer information or assistance to law enforcement and corrections officers. But there were concerning holes in Price's case with one Supreme Court justice saying, we have a sealed order with no hearing to seal it. It was never filed. Who knew it? Who could file an appeal? It's a

phantom order. And Pascoe argued against the judge's reasons for releasing price, saying that

prison records actually show Price was a disruptive inmate who was repeatedly sanctioned. With

Pascoe also arguing that the claims of Price defending corrections officers were shaky at best.

And going on to say that, the shady way Price's release was handled only caused the small's family pain, saying this was all a sham. Worse than that, it was a secret. So what we end up seeing is the

Supreme Court overrule Price's release a month after he walked out in March and demanded that

he returned to prison on April 26th to serve the rest of his sentence. But surprise, surprise,

surprise, Price failed to surrender and it kicks off this whole manhunt. With his face now getting slapped on television, billboards, newspapers, the works. And last week, authorities raising the reward for information,
