Megyn Kelly Slams ‘Deeply Immoral’ Lack of Due Process in Cornell Rape Investigation

"The mob has decided they're guilty and ought to be put to death," she says of the seven Chi Phi fraternity brothers The post Megyn Kelly Slams ‘Deeply Immoral’ Lack of Due Process in Cornell Rape Investigation appeared first on TheWrap .

Megyn Kelly criticized the handling of a gang rape case at Cornell University's Chi Phi fraternity, alleging a lack of due process. Speaking on her show, Kelly stated that the seven men accused of drugging, assaulting, and gang-raping a former student in 2024 had already been publicly condemned, despite not having a trial or a chance to defend themselves.

She emphasized the importance of due process, stating, "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." Kelly also pointed out that the District Attorney, a Democrat, had found no case to pursue. Hostin, a co-host of "The View," echoed Kelly's concerns, questioning why the men's names were being plastered across news networks without a trial.

In New York, voluntary intoxication does not legally impede consent, Hostin noted. Celebrities like Florence Pugh and Mariska Hargitay have also rallied against the university and the accused men, with Hargitay specifically calling for justice. The controversy highlights the tension between public opinion and the legal process in sexual assault cases.
