"Cornell 7" Lawyer Speaks Out, Plus Bombshell New Texts From "Jane Doe," and Kevin Reddington's Bizarre Tactic | Ep. 1410

[upbeat music] I'm swimming in f- information here, swimming in it, like drowning in it at the moment, and trying to keep it all straight for you.

But here, here's the chronology.

I didn't wanna waste Tara's time with going through the text to the text to the text.

She was very forthcoming.

That is the most forthcoming we've heard any defense lawyer representing any one of these seven be, so credit to her.

Um, a lot came out overnight, so I wanna go through it with you.

First of all, you've got, um, okay, the reveal of texts from October 23rd.

This is four days after the incident, all right? And they, they don't make clear who she was talking to in this text exchange, but she writes, "Bro, everyone knows," and then the peace sign.

"I'm incredibly stressed out.

Some random," blocked out, "told some of my friends.

I don't even know who that is, how blank she know me, how blank she know me." So I don't know exactly who she's texting with.

I'm gonna guess it's defendant number one, who's Matthew, um, 'cause that seems to be her main friend at Chi Phi, and the one identified as male number one, who opened the door, with whom she danced, who th- she thought was attractive, et cetera.

And then she texts him, still on October 23rd, four days after the incident, "I will also say- This is ruining my life temporarily.

My reputation is destroyed, and I'm utterly ashamed.

That's extremely important right there because that's, that's the motivation.

I mean, her, her defenders will say that's the consequence of being gang raped, and I think there's a very strong argument by the young men that it's the reason she changed her story.

It's the reason she went from very clearly saying, "I consented to this and nothing illegal happened," which was another text she sent right around this timeframe to one of the young men, to, "I was gang raped, and it was not consensual, and I was incapacitated the whole time." But she's kind of telling us right here in her own words, "My reputation is destroyed, and I'm utterly ashamed that all these people know." She says it.

All these people know.

My reputation is destroyed.

I'm utterly ashamed.

Then his, his piece of this exchange, wh- whoever she's texting with, is blocked out by ABC.

She goes on to say, "You're right.

It'll get better.

And thank you.

Everyone's just jealous of us, but also, like, everyone needs to grow up." Listen to this, "'Cause sexuality and sex and," blank, "is changing and stuff.
