The Clay Edwards Show

CHOKWE & COMPANY ALL GUILTY / WHO KILLED NOLAN WELLS? (Ep #1,248)

In this explosive live episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay teams up with co-host and criminal defense attorney Sean Yurkuran (1TextLaw.com) to break major developing news: former Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is expected to accept a federal plea deal as early as Monday in the Jackson Convention Center hotel bribery case.
Drawing from trusted sources, Clay and Sean dive deep into the latest on the "Free the Land Three" — Lumumba, former Hinds County DA Jody Owens (who already took a plea), and Councilman Aaron Banks (still headed to trial on July 13). They break down the evidence, the shifting defenses, the "stream of benefits" bribery arguments, Jody’s cooperation, and what sentences could realistically look like (around 5 years / 80% confinement for the main players).
The conversation expands into the broader collapse of public trust in Hinds County’s justice system — from the Anthony Fox setup to the damage caused by elected officials selling out the community. Clay and Sean also discuss prosecutorial experience vs. slogans, the long history of corruption in Jackson (across party and racial lines), deterrence, karma, and why these cases matter far more than typical street crime.
Additional highlights:- DUI advice for the 4th of July weekend- Sean’s contact info for criminal defense needs- Raw talk on public officials, optics, and accountability
A must-listen for anyone following Jackson/Hinds County politics, public corruption, or the fight to Save JXN.

Welcome to Episode 1,246 of The Clay Edwards Show — unfiltered, no sugar added talk radio from right here in Central Mississippi.
In the first hour, Clay dives deep into the tragic Senatobia shooting death of 1-year-old Cohen Wiley. He breaks down the mother's highly questionable behavior at the child's funeral, her use of the baby as a human shield during the chaos, and why she should face serious charges including child endangerment and accessory. Clay also exposes the driver of the vehicle, Latoya Farrell, and calls out the online mob threatening the involved police officer.

**Podcast Description – Episode #1245**
On this episode, Clay reacts to the shocking news that Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens has taken a plea deal in the Jackson Convention Center bribery scandal just two weeks before trial. Owens pleaded guilty to conspiracy and faces a maximum of five years, a move that caught many off guard given his earlier insistence that he would go to trial.
Clay is joined by a strong legal panel: Shaun Yurtkuran (former Hinds County ADA turned criminal defense attorney), Kingfish from JacksonJambalaya.com, and Scott Gilbert, a veteran criminal defense attorney and former federal prosecutor who recently secured a major federal win.
Together they break down the plea deal, what Owens likely gave up in exchange for cooperation, and how this move strengthens the government’s case against the remaining defendants — former Jackson mayor Chokwe Lumumba and former city councilman Aaron Banks. The conversation covers the strength of the evidence (audio, video, money trails), why this was likely the best outcome Owens could realistically get, and what it means for the upcoming trial.
They also discuss the broader issues of public corruption prosecutions, deterrence versus community protection, and why results in the courtroom often don’t serve as a deterrent to future crime.
It’s a raw, in-depth look at one of the biggest political corruption cases in Mississippi in years.

Former Hinds County Asst. D.A Shaun Yurtkuran joins me for an emergency livestream to discuss the fallout and what's next after the shocking guilty plea from sitting Hinds County D.A Jody Owens, what is next for Chokwe Lumumba & Aaron Banks?

On this episode of The Clay Edwards Show, Clay sits down with Scott McCullough from Live Better Men’s Health and Wellness for a deep dive into testosterone replacement therapy and concierge medical care. They break down the real symptoms men are dealing with — brain fog, fatigue, and a complete lack of drive — and discuss how TRT is changing lives. Clay also opens up about his own experience with testosterone, peptides like Sermorelin, dosing strategies, blood work, and fertility concerns for men who may want kids later in life.
In the second half, Clay and co-host Andrew Gasser tear into the weekend’s biggest stories. They discuss the Senatobia Walmart shooting that took the life of one-year-old Cohen Wiley, and Clay reveals new details about the driver involved. The conversation then shifts to a shocking triple homicide in Jackson where two young women and a toddler were gunned down in their home. Clay calls out the glaring double standard in media coverage and public outrage, questioning why some victims get national attention while others are largely ignored.
It’s another raw, unfiltered episode focused on accountability, culture, and the issues nobody else wants to touch.
