Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland — have been thoroughly entertained by the latest phase of Alex Murdaugh’s over-the-top efforts to get his murder conviction reversed. Last week the public FINALLY got to meet the Egg Lady Juror (Myra Crosby) and her sidekick Juror Z (aka Juror 630, Mandy Pearce). Both women appeared in the latest episode of the Murdaugh-friendly documentary series on Fox Nation — and Juror Z made her first (and probably last) solo appearance on Julie Grant’s “Opening Statements” on Court TV. The goal? To promote Myra’s newly released “tell-all” book and further promote the Big Lie that jury tampering occurred in Alex’s trial. Plus, we talk about the tragic killing of Sandra Birchmore, where the FBI's involvement in investigating her death is seen as a positive shift towards victim-centered cases and holding police accountable for corruption. Premium listeners will get an extended conversation about why Dick Harpootlian’s name is mysteriously absent from Alex’s federal appeal.

Investigative reporters Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sat down with South Carolina Senator Katrina Shealy who — in 2012 — was elected to the all-male Senate. Yes, it was all-male. And yes, it was 2012... For years, Sen. Shealy was either ignored by her colleagues or straight-up bullied and harassed — even evoking the infamous “Women are a lesser cut of meat” comment from another senator. Nevertheless, she got down to business and became a champion of speaking up for women and children — two populations of South Carolina citizens who went largely unnoticed by lawmakers. In 2021, Sen. Shealy introduced a bill that would outlaw coercive control in South Carolina. The bill didn’t make it out of committee. In this episode, Sen. Shealy talked about what it’s going to take to make Mica’s Law happen.

Today, Cup of Justice Co-Hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — take a look at the South Carolina Supreme Court’s decision to hear Alex Murdaugh’s appeal in his quest for a new murder trial. The headlines say this is a BIG DEAL and a major win for Alex, but is that true? What does it mean that the Supreme Court is allowing him the opportunity to skip the line in his appeal? Is it a sign they’re ready to let him start over? Or is it their way of hastening the inevitable and sending Alex on his merry way to federal court? Mandy, Liz and Eric explore the answers to those questions plus whether they think the state AG’s Office could survive a Remmer hearing in this case. Also on the show, the Horry County Police Department and Myrtle Beach Police Department appear to be holding back in their responses to Luna Shark's Freedom of Information Act requests in the Mica Francis case. What do we think is happening here? And what legal action should be taken? Eric explains the options. Plus, Mica Francis’ multiple calls to police in which she accused her estranged husband — Pastor JP MIller — of taking her notary public embosser and expressing fears that he was going to forge her name on documents … that was an even bigger deal than we previously thought.

On today's 93rd Cup of Justice episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and everyone’s favorite attorney Eric Bland — discuss the federal government’s response to Alex Murdaugh’s effort to appeal his 40-year sentence in the financial crimes. It seems like all the T’s were crossed and all the I’s dotted in Alex’s sentencing hearing, which means his sentence has very little chance of being overturned. So what’s going on? Is Alex Murdaugh finally preparing to turn on his team and claim ineffective assistance of counsel by Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin? Also on the show, a viral video of an alligator walking in Tropical Storm Debby on Hilton Head Island resurrects a still-unanswered question: Why is Judge Carmen Mullen still on the bench? Why have we heard nothing about the disciplinary complaints filed against her? Plus the 124-page report from the investigation into the Marion, Kansas, police raid on a small-town newspaper sets a new standard for how government agencies SHOULD be communicating with the public to help establish trust. Let's get into it....

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and everyone’s favorite attorney Eric Bland — give a recap of last week’s strange press conference after Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller settled with Mica Francis’ family in their ongoing disputes in Family and Probate courts. Eric breaks down what the family might have given up in agreeing to drop their fight against JP getting to be personal representative of Mica’s estate … but also what they might have gained by settling now. The three also discuss how JP’s inner circle — and those still attending his church. Are they enablers of JP’s alleged bad behavior or are they victims of coercive control? What makes them continue to stand by his side? Also on the show, a date has been set in Alex Murdaugh’s Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals hearing — where he plans to argue that Judge Richard Gergel engaged in cruel and unusual punishment by giving Alex a 40-year sentence in his financial crimes earlier this year. Plus, the 2024 Olympics and the overwhelmingly positive messaging coming from this year’s slate of top athletes.

On today's 91st COJ episode, Mandy and Liz sat down with Karl Stoller, whose daughter Dallas died in 2021 while awaiting justice in her 2018 sexual assault. Since her death, Dallas’ accused rapist Bowen Turner has remained in the headlines, not only for the two other rapes he’s been accused of, but for the stunning failures perpetrated by the prosecution, who seemed to readily allow a high-priced legislator-lawyer dictate the terms of Bowen’s punishment. Also on the show, we talk about the big lie behind ankle monitors and how they do nothing but make bonds companies money while providing a false sense of security for victims. Plus, the petty politics that comes along with speaking out against bad acts and how this pettiness continues to hold back progress.

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — are still reeling from JP Miller’s utterly bizarre interview on Ashleigh Banfield’s show on NewsNation late Friday night. Pastor JP appears to be on some sort of public relations tour, claiming that his lawyer told him it would help with his future defamation cases. But so far? It’s not going well — starting with his vivid descriptions of a lost spaghetti dinner. In a manic sit-down with reporter Rich McHugh filled with inconsistencies and strange logic, JP gave the world terrifying insight into behavior that Mica Francis ostensibly had to endure while married to him. Also on the show, Alex Murdaugh is officially going back on his word by appealing his 40-year federal sentence, claiming it was cruel and unusual punishment. Plus, a discussion on Miss Kansas’ brave on-stage moment, calling out an abuser, and a call for more consequences in the Marion, Kansas, newspaper raid.

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — talk about Mandy and Liz’s latest reporting in the case and the biggest mystery that exists in the original investigation.

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — listened to Dick Harpootlian’s (ridiculously long) farewell speech in the South Carolina Senate and needless to say, they have some thoughts on it. Especially when it comes to Dick’s tone-deaf defense of his own behavior defending Alex Murdaugh. Also on the show, several lawmakers around the country are seriously considering introducing legislation to end no-fault divorces. Mandy, Liz and Eric discuss the possible impacts that could come from that, along with how women like Mica Francis deserve BETTER divorce laws, not worse ones. Our hosts also emphasized the importance of objectivity, fairness, and respect in their respective fields, as well as the need to protect women's rights and autonomy. Premium Members get an extended discussion on Dick Harpootlian’s final words in the Senate, plus a conversation about a recent opinion piece that ran in Newsweek, calling Taylor Swift a bad role model for women and girls.

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — take a look at the lawsuit filed by Buster Murdaugh against documentary filmmakers and major networks, accusing them of defamation in their Stephen Smith reporting. Eric gives a quick primer about what defamation is and what Buster is going to have to prove in the courtroom. Mandy and Liz talk about their observations of how the media handled the mentions of the Murdaugh name in the Smith investigation and what things looked like behind the scenes when film crews descended on the Lowcountry. They also explore the biggest question of all: Will this case end up bringing much-needed answers in the Stephen Smith investigation? Also on the show, what the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a firearm ban for those accused of domestic violence will do for women and why it’s so hard to get women’s stories of abuse to be taken seriously.

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — talk about the latest revelations in the Mica Miller case, which they’re now referring to as the Mica FRANCIS case (in honor of Mica’s attempt before her death to shed her married name and reclaim her identity). Last week, Mica’s family announced that they are determined to make sure there’s a law to protect victims of non-physical abuse in their relationships. In a press conference outside the Conway Courthouse in South Carolina, Mica’s attorney Regina B. Ward and family presented their plan for Mica’s Law, a bill that would criminalize “coercive control” behavior. As part of their announcement, they included a long list of the types of abuse Mica documented in her journals and in police reports. Also on the show, Mandy and David talk about their trip to Myrtle Beach to retrace Mica’s footsteps on the day she died. Premium Members will get an extended version that includes a discussion about cease and desist letters. Are they effective? What happens when there’s no substance to them? Let’s get into it...

Were these charges directly related to Alex Murdaugh’s trial and getting publicity for Becky’s book? Also on the show, each day that passes since Mica Miller’s death, the more strange this case gets.

Cup of Justice creator Mandy Matney welcomes filmmaker Erin Lee Carr to discuss high-profile cases involving suicide, online harassment, and domestic violence. They share personal experiences and insights into the legal and ethical questions surrounding these issues, emphasizing the importance of empathy and accountability. They also debate the shortcomings of the system in addressing these problems and the need for a comprehensive approach. Throughout the conversation, they highlight the psychological toll of working in true crime and the importance of ethics and empathy in documentary filmmaking. Erin is amazingly brilliant and Mandy was a fan of Erin long before their worlds collided on the Murdaugh story in 2021. You may have heard of a deadline story about a project they are working on bringing to life… Erin has been a bright light in a dark world of true crime — an example of someone who can do good in the true crime world and succeed while sticking to their own ethics and values. Erin is also the author of a fabulous book: All that you leave behind: A Memoir... Click here to learn more. Like Liz and Mandy, Erin gravitates toward complicated true crime stories and tells them in a way that is truthful, victim-focused, and thought-provoking. In fact, Erin created and directed of Mandy's favorite documentaries of all time — Mommy Dead And Dearest and I Love You Now Die. Both stories were complex and the documentaries taught me to approach storytelling differently. In today’s episode, Erin Lee Carr and Mandy Matney chat about the Michelle Carter and Gypsy Rose cases as they relates to the latest case we’ve been working on for True Sunlight - The Mica Miller Case.

Investigative journalist Liz Farrell — and everyone’s favorite attorney Eric Bland — sit down with lawyer (and journalist!) Julie Grant, host of Court TV’s “Opening Statements,” to talk about everything from Alex Murdaugh’s lies to Bill Cosby’s very worst behavior outside the courthouse to the emotional impact of the Colucci trial postponement. The three also discuss vicarious trauma and how that can affect reporters, what law school is REALLY like, as well as Julie’s unusual path to her well-deserved career and what aspect of the justice system she’d change if she had a magic wand. Julie is a journalist, a lawyer — and a trial court expert. Above all, she’s an advocate for victims. We really admire Julie’s work because of how she chooses to keep victims’ perspectives and their stories at the forefront of highly publicized national cases. Julie is a big advocate of therapy for everyone — not just lawyers and journalists — and she was the perfect guest for us to have during Mental Health Awareness Month because that’s such an important message. Plus, Premium Members get an additional segment when Julie introduces her new French bulldog puppy to Liz and Eric…So pup’s up to Julie! Let's get into it...
