The Clay Edwards Show

**Episode 1290 – Clay Edwards Show**   Guests: Creston Birch (retired 30-year Clinton PD) and Zach Service Labor Day hangover, an Ole Miss game that even a State fan had to respect, and two guys in studio who actually live in the Jackson metro instead of commenting on it from a distance. Clay, Creston, and Zach stay on the local stuff: homeschool vs. the “good kid from a good family who still gets...

**Shaun Yurtkuran and Creston Birch on the death penalty and DNA** Attorney Shaun Yurtkuran has put a man on death row. Thirteen years later he still thinks about it — not because he has a moral problem with “you kill, you get killed” when the proof is ironclad, but because of how the system actually works. It does not deter the people on the street. They know what the cops do. They do not know wh...

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 t...

**Keefe D convicted himself — and that is the whole lesson** Nearly thirty years after Tupac Shakur was shot on the Las Vegas Strip, a jury took less than three hours to convict Duane Keith “Keffe D” Davis of first-degree murder. He is the first and only person ever charged in the case. Sentencing is October 13. He faces life. He says he will appeal. Prosecutors did not say he pulled the trigger....

**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 racia...

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. Con...

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,...

**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...

THURSDAY, SEPT. 3RD - FULL SHOW (Ep #1288)

**Episode 1287: Flock Cameras, Dirty Cops, and the Jackson Reality Check** Clay flies solo for most of the show and then brings Andrew Gosser in for a real argument about Flock cameras and automated license plate readers. Clay’s position is straightforward: public roads, public plates, and a city that has been the murder capital for years. He does not buy the idea that ripping the cameras out is s...

RELIGION, SPORTS & CULTURE W/ GUEST JAMIE CREEL (Ep #1,286)

🚨WE GOT HIM🚨 Walker Montgomery case: Nigerian man Extradited from Nigeria to America, then arraigned in Oxford after 2022 Starkville teen suicide A Nigerian man was extradited and arraigned Friday in federal court in Oxford on charges tied to the Instagram sextortion scheme that led 16-year-old Starkville Academy football player Walker Montgomery to take his own life on Dec. 1, 2022.

Olive Branch Mayor Ken Adams refused to lower city flags for Dolly Parton after President Trump and Governor Reeves ordered them to half-staff. He said Dolly was a great person who brought a lot of joy and did a lot of good — he just doesn’t believe half-staff should be used every time a beloved celebrity dies. He wants that honor reserved for military heroes, fallen first responders, presidents,...

**The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1285**   with Creston Berch and Andrew Gasser Clay, Creston, and Andrew cover a packed weekend and the stories that actually matter. Jason Aldean packed Brandon with a sold-out, no-drama night that included “Try That in a Small Town.” College football’s Week 0 delivered the usual early-season weirdness: Dan Mullen’s UNLV squad lost at home to Memphis and the coach...

Breaking Down The Lindsay Clancy Trial W/ Shaun Yurtkuran & Creston Berch (Ep #1,284)

**Texas Roadhouse Hoax Meltdown, Jelly Roll Flips on Trump, and Week 0 Football** Stormy, wet roads in Central Mississippi.

Creston shares a story from his law enforcement days: two patrol cars getting slammed while they were already working a wreck on I-20 coming into Clinton af...

**Jelly Roll Sells Out, Greenville Race Hoax Narratives, and WNBA Double Standards** Clay Edwards tears into Jelly Roll after the country star hosted Jimmy Kimmel and unloaded on President Trump with weight jokes and approval-rating digs. After years of claiming he wasn’t political while taking photos with Trump and building a red-state, blue-collar fanbase on redemption and authenticity, the sudd...

TUESDAY, FULL SHOW (Ep #1,281)

**Clay Edwards Show – Monday Edition** Jackson’s decline didn’t happen overnight, and Clay walks through how North Jackson slid toward the same fate as the rest of the city — the visible changes he saw years ago while selling cars off the Toyota lot, the self-inflicted wounds of two Lumumba terms colliding with COVID, and why he believes the city will never fully recover without radical new econom...

**Jackson MS 911 Dispatcher Arrested — Allegations of Erased Reports, Drive-Bys, Blackmail & Sex Inside JPD** A 20-year-old Jackson Police Department 911 dispatcher is under arrest and a detective is on unpaid leave after an internal investigation into serious misconduct.

SURVIVING CANCEL CULTURES GREATEST ATTACK ON ME TO DATE (Ep #1,278)

**Episode 1277 of The Clay Edwards Show with co-host Creston Berch** Clay and Creston dig into the culture’s obsession with the “great Nolan Wells lie” on what would have been Nolan’s 19th birthday. They unpack the latest rumors, AI-generated content from creators like Kelvin Barnett who keep dragging names (including Bart Edmondson Jr.) back into the narrative, the district attorney’s wall of sil...

**Episode 1276 – The Clay Edwards Show** Solo show. No guests. Just straight talk. Clay opens by thanking listeners for the birthday wishes and recounts a classy experience at McBee’s Lakeside (no singing, just signed cards from the staff). Then he addresses the situation with former guest and About Time Brawling promoter Jamie Childress head-on. Childress was involved in a high-speed pursuit, cra...

Clay is joined by Andrew Gasser for a deeper dive into data centers. They examine heat output claims, water and cooling systems, environmental and quality-of-life impacts, the Brandon project near Highway 18, and the longer-term risk of obsolescence versus orbital alternatives. The hour also covers fresh developments in the Nolan Wells case, including the NAACP joining the legal team and the famil...
