Megyn Kelly slams lack of due process in Cornell rape case
Megyn Kelly has voiced her concerns about the treatment of the seven men accused in the Cornell rape case. She recently argued that they are being publicly condemned before the allegations have been tested in court. On Monday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, she criticized the absence of meaningful due process and objected to the intense public reaction surrounding the case.
Kelly argued that the men have already been subjected to widespread condemnation. “These young men have had their names plastered all over every major newscast in America for a week now. The mob has decided they’re guilty and ought to be put to death, which is literally what we are hearing in several circles online without a trial, without a due process chance to defend themselves.”
The host added that the men should have the opportunity to address the allegations. She explained, “Not in a kangaroo court on a college campus, which is a joke, but in an actual court, either civil or now it’s looking more and more likely criminal.”
Kelly also voiced her opinion that the public does not have enough information to reach a conclusion about what occurred that night. “This is deeply immoral. There are two sides to every story. You don’t know, and I don’t know what happened inside of Cornell that night,” she added.
“We know that there’s been a story told by Jane Doe. We know that from her own story, the DA – a Democrat – said there’s no case here… And we know it took her two years to file a civil suit… Now her lawyers are all over the television, ripping on the DA,” Kelly continued.
