Number 1: 9/11 Memories, Tasia Fortune’s Autopsy, and the Lindsey Clancy Jury Meltdown (Ep #1,293)
**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1293** 9/11, twenty-five years later. First responders still dying. A hanging in Jackson that the usual suspects tried to turn into a lynching. And a Massachusetts jury that couldn’t bring itself to call a child killer a child killer. Clay, Creston Berch (30-year Clinton PD, retired), and Shaun Yurtkuran sit with the anniversary that never really ended. Creston was standing in a car dealership lobby when the second plane hit live on TV. Shaun had just gotten out of the Marines and spent the day in a Jefferson Street apartment watching Fox News with eight friends until midnight. Clay woke up to the second impact, then watched 99 Jams keep spinning hip-hop while every other station in the market flipped to the news. That moment, he says, is when the culture war started for him. They talk about the 9–10,000 additional deaths from the pile, Flight 93 and the two unarmed fighter pilots who were prepared to ram it, Bush on the rubble, and what the day would have looked like if everyone in those towers had a smartphone and a live stream. They also cover the first big public gathering after the attacks: WWE SmackDown in Houston, paid for by Mattress Mack so the city wouldn’t eat the overtime. Then they pivot to two local/national cases that keep revealing the same double standard. Tazia Fortune was found hanging behind an abandoned house on Road of Remembrance. The lynching narrative got national oxygen. Clay broke that the state crime lab and DPS have now turned the completed autopsy over to JPD and the Hinds County coroner. Cause of death is not expected to match the story that’s been sold. JPD and some local media spent weeks blaming the state for the delay. The state’s response: we finished it; y’all asked for every extra test. Lindsey Clancy: the holdout juror who refused not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity was a Black man. The women on the jury are publicly furious he wouldn’t go along. Gayle King had to sit down when she heard it. An Oprah panel then cheered a doctor arguing that Black women who kill their children deserve the same “energy” Clancy got. Clay, Shaun, and Creston don’t buy the postpartum-plus-meds-plus-doctor excuse as a get-out-of-prison-free card. No station IDs. No sponsor reads. Just the conversation.

Number 2: Clay’s take: Lindsey Clancy and the self-inflicted hit to women’s rights
**Clay’s take: Lindsey Clancy and the self-inflicted hit to women’s rights** Clay’s not asking for a committee vote. He’s saying it out loud. Lindsey Clancy strangled her three kids — 5, 3, and 8 months — with exercise bands after sending her husband out on a timed errand. Now she’s HoJ Simpson. “If the hormones don’t fit, you must acquit.” He argues a slice of the culture looked at years of racial grievance politics and decided women were the original oppressed class in America, then used this case to see how far they could shove the pendulum. Massive GoFundMe. Online cheering section. Hero framing. Clay’s point is simple: that energy is not helping women. It’s handing ammunition to people who already want to treat hormones like a get-out-of-jail card and then turn around and say women can’t be trusted with juries, jobs, elected office, or the nuclear codes. He puts the male comparison on the table and leaves it there. Chad Doerman lined up his three sons, hunted the one who ran, and executed them. No parade. No victim tour. No movement. Same body count. Different sex. Different script. Shaun floats the veteran-with-PTSD version of the same crime. Clay says you would not see men treating that man like a cause. He’s clear about the line he will not cross: he does not want women locked out of work or power because of this case. He also will not pretend precedent is a fairy tale. If postpartum and hormones become a workable defense for killing your own children, institutions will use it. His sister-in-law analog on the show — Shaun’s sister, night-shift nurse, proudly pro-women — said the same thing unprompted. It scared her too. Clay’s closer on the subject: you will be lucky if you ever get asked to sit on a jury again. That’s his opinion. Not Shaun’s. Not Creston’s. His. And he says if she’s treated like a hero instead of a defendant, the next mother already thinking about it just got a roadmap.

Number 3: LSU vs SEC: The Eligibility Lawsuit, Lane Kiffin’s Envelope, and John Bond’s Take
Hour 2 pivots to the LSU/SEC lawsuit. Two former Ole Miss players who already went pro want another year after the eligibility rules changed. A Louisiana state judge let them play this weekend. The SEC filed in federal court in Alabama and is running a First Amendment freedom-of-association argument. Shaun breaks down why that’s clever lawyering that probably still loses to the antitrust problem, why the federal judge is likely to stay his own case and let the Louisiana track play out first, and why kicking LSU out of the conference is the dumbest idea smart people keep floating. John Bond calls in mid-hour. He says NIL just advertised the old bootlegging routes every school already ran. Collectives turned it into payroll instead of a kid walking into a car lot or restaurant and selling his face. Transfer portal needs a hard cap (two times max, coach leaving counts as one). These two players didn’t get the full buffet of choices when they left—give them the extra year. Congress needs to stay out of it. NCAA has always picked on the schools it wanted to pick on.

Number 4: Hoe J. Simpson, Reasonable Doubt, and Why the SEC Can’t Keep Those Players Off the Field (Ep #1,289)
**FAFO Friday with attorney Shaun Yurtkuran and retired Clinton PD officer Creston Birch.** Jury holdouts, reasonable doubt, copycats, and why a white mom who strangled her three kids is getting a different conversation than the dad who lined his sons up and shot them. Then the SEC vs. LSU eligibility fight, Lane Kiffin pushing every envelope, and a surprise call from Mississippi State legend John Bond. Hour 1 stays on the Lindsey Clancy trial. One juror is holding out over “reasonable doubt.” Defense is spinning it 11-1 not guilty. Shaun walks through why it could just as easily be 11-1 the other way, why nobody in that room is telling the court which direction the split is actually going, and why a compromise manslaughter verdict is the most likely “net” the jury throws themselves. Clay drops the Chad Doerman comparison nobody wanted: father executes his three sons, no parade, no GoFundMe hero narrative. Same number of dead kids. Different sex. Different reaction. They also hit the death penalty (deterrence vs. cost vs. the innocent people Mississippi has already put on the row), the CSI effect versus real homicide cases, and how defendants still convict themselves the old-fashioned way—books, podcasts, rap songs, and talking to DJ Vlad.
