  • COJ #96 - Team Murdaugh’s Latest PR Campaign: Egg Lady and Juror Z’s BIG Television Debut Exposes their Smoke and Mirrors

    COJ #96 - Team Murdaugh’s Latest PR Campaign: Egg Lady and Juror Z’s BIG Television Debut Exposes their Smoke and Mirrors
    Sep 3 2024
    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. Congratulations to #COJ co-host Eric Bland for launching his own pod!

  • COJ #95: Senator Katrina Shealy and the Fight that Awaits the Good Ole Boy Lawmakers on a ‘Coercive Control’ Bill

    COJ #95: Senator Katrina Shealy and the Fight that Awaits the Good Ole Boy Lawmakers on a ‘Coercive Control’ Bill
    Aug 27 2024
    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.

  • COJ #94 - Why Alex Murdaugh Didn’t Score a Major ‘Win’ Last Week + Mica Francis’ Report about Stolen Notary Is a Very Big Deal

    COJ #94 - Why Alex Murdaugh Didn’t Score a Major ‘Win’ Last Week + Mica Francis’ Report about Stolen Notary Is a Very Big Deal
    Aug 20 2024
    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. Premium members will get an extended conversations about our fights against corrupt agencies violating FOIA... so stay tuned on that front, we're just getting started....

Defending the oppressed

I got hooked during the Merdough trial. Not sure if you guys have changed audio equipment but for some reason Mandy’s voice is very slurred sounding. I absolutely love the show I listen every night in bed.
