Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland dress up for Huluween on this jam-packed episode - and you can see the video version of COJ Cinema on your LUNASHARK Premium dashboard later this week.  We unpack a wild week of contradictions in South Carolina's justice system — from the Murdaugh: Death in the Family series' chilling portrayal of Alex Murdaugh's unraveling, to the shocking arrest of Beaufort County deputy Billy Squires, caught on video holding four teens at gunpoint, to the ugliest of fat cats suckling at the taxpayer trough for frivolous investigations.  The conversation first touches on the emotional aftermath of Murdaugh: Death in the Family and Patricia Arquette's nuanced portrayal of Maggie Murdaugh, revealing how addiction, control, and silence intersected in the family's downfall. The team discusses how privilege continues to shape accountability in the Lowcountry — how law enforcement officers are “held to a higher standard” only when it benefits them, and how political connections often mean the difference between a perp walk and a polite summons without all the trimming every other person.  And finally, we're shining a light on one of the biggest threats to our state's fiscal security… lawyers like Mark Moore gobbling up HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of taxpayer dollars for fishing expeditions with little to no actionable results...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland tackle one of the most absurd phrases creeping into South Carolina's justice system — ‘Murdaugh fatigue.' After years of uncovering corruption, financial crimes, and systemic failures, many in power and some running for office want to move on… leaving victims behind… AGAIN.  Mandy, Liz, and Eric break down the latest in Russell Laffitte's super soft sentencing, and the Billy Squires incident on Hilton Head. Both reveal how the system once again protects people that look like those in power while accepting the bare minimum to jail or prosecute anyone else.  And we hope everyone listening remembers that Justice does not get tired — people do. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Alex Murdaugh family's shocking murders and deep-rooted secrets revealed in new Hulu limited series” - AP News, updated Oct 16, 2025

A $19B liquidation wave hit crypto 10 days after Lighter's public mainnet—so we asked founder/CEO Vladimir Novakovski why they built a ZK L2 Perp DEX on Ethereum, how the escape hatch actually protects users, and what really happened under extreme stress. We dig into ADL vs. LLP, trader-first design, and why verifiability (not vibes) should govern order matching and liquidations. Vlad shares throughput targets, why Lighter chose custom ZK circuits over a generalized ZKVM, and what's next: Spot, universal cross-margin, and a ZKVM sidecar for a broader platform play. We close with lessons from the cascade, realistic tradeoffs of being an L2, and how L2Beat “stage upgrades” fit into the roadmap. ---

John is joined by Rachel Geman, partner at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, and Justin A. Nelson, and Rohit Nath, both partners at Susman Godfrey.  They discuss the groundbreaking $1.5 billion copyright class action settlement Rachel, Justin, and Rohit reached with AI company Anthropic on behalf of the authors of copyrighted materials —the largest copyright recovery in history.   The case involved Anthropic's use of over 450,000 copyrighted works—mostly books—sourced from pirated sites like Library Genesis and Z Library.  These works were used to train large language models (LLMs).  The case centered on infringing conduct stemming from the download and use of pirated copies of copyrighted works.  Judge William Alsup, who presided over the case, found that Anthropic's downloading of pirated works was “irredeemably wrong” and constituted infringement.  He also ruled that using legitimately obtained books to train AI was transformative and, therefore, fair use—a finding the plaintiffs disagreed with.  A trial was scheduled but avoided when the parties reached a $1.5 billion settlement shortly after fact discovery closed. The settlement compensates authors and publishers at an average rate of approximately $3,000 per work.  The settlement also reflects contractual author-publisher splits and employs a structured claims process overseen by a special master.  Under the agreement, Anthropic must also destroy the infringing copies and certify they were not used to train its commercial models.  This resolution, the largest known copyright recovery to date, was approved after detailed scrutiny of its fairness and administrationPodcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland now have a fuller picture of the #SquiresGate case in Hilton Head Island after it went viral last week.  On today's episode, the gang talks about what it took to get the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office to fire off-duty deputy Master Sgt. Billy Squires after video emerged of him pointing his service weapon at four teenagers in his neighborhood on a Sunday evening while allegedly intoxicated and wearing part of his uniform over his regular clothes.  A shocking video depicts the kids begging for their lives and one of them calling out his mom had people across the spectrum and all over the world calling for justice. It took five days for the sheriff's office to terminate Squires even though many of his 11 policy violations were immediately apparent.  Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about what it took to pressure the good ole boys into holding one of their own accountable.  *Since recording this episode, Live 5 News Reported SLED Chief Mark Keel said, “At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set. SLED agents have preliminarily found there is no evidence to support a pre-fire explosion.” Referring to Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein's house fire.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Deputy fired for ‘multiple' policy violations, Beaufort County sheriff says” - Live5 WCSC, Updated Oct 4, 2025

What if you could finally understand what it really takes to grow as a lawyer beyond just practicing law? In this first part of a special two-part Be That Lawyer Live, Steve Fretzin brings together Daniel Scola, Eido Walny, and Karl Seelbach for a candid conversation you won't hear anywhere else. You'll be pulled into their stories, their struggles, and the strategies that shaped their careers in ways most attorneys never talk about openly. As you listen, you'll discover how much of this applies directly to you, wherever you are in your own journey. This episode isn't just about hearing from successful lawyers — it's about helping you see what's possible for yourself. In this episode, Steve, Daniel, Eido, and Karl discuss:Challenges lawyers face in business development and rainmakingImportance of consistent habits and time management in client growthRole of personal passions, networking, and authentic connections in practice-buildingLessons learned from mistakes that shape long-term legal careers Key Takeaways:Many lawyers struggle with rainmaking because they aren't taught marketing skills, and mentorship or coaching is often the turning point in learning business development.Time-blocking, using a CRM, and accountability partners are crucial for keeping business development efforts consistent and measurable.Combining personal passions (like car restoration or music) with client relationships creates authentic connections that naturally lead to new business opportunities.Asking directly for business and following through on promises builds trust, while overpromising or relying on others' client relationships can backfire. "Not overpromising is a really important one for me… you've got to deliver what you say." —  Daniel Scola "There are two things that this firm can never and no one can ever take away from you. That's your knowledge base and your contact base." —  Eido Walny "Clients aren't going to remember every case you handle, but they're never going to forget how you make them feel." —  Karl Seelbach Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.Thank you to our Sponsors!Rankings.io: https://rankings.io/Legalverse Media: https://legalversemedia.com/ Ready to grow your law practice without selling or chasing?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland break down what happened Sunday night on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, when an off-duty Beaufort County Sheriff's Office deputy held at least three teenagers at gunpoint. In a chilling (and very unhinged) video, the teen boys, who were reportedly walking in the deputy's neighborhood, begged for their lives and cried for their mom as the deputy is seen pointing his service weapon at them individually, threatening and even dragging them on the ground.  Mandy, Liz and Eric share their reactions to the video and discuss all the ways the case seems to be getting mishandled from the beginning — especially the part where BCSO hasn't arrested the deputy and is refusing to release his name as if this were pre-Internet days.  Also on the show, Russell Laffitte has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for using his family's bank to help Alex Murdaugh steal money from Alex's clients. And former South Carolina Rep. RJ May — founding member of the state Freedom Caucus — has pleaded guilty to five federal counts of distributing child sexual abuse material … meaning, he's finally admitting that he's JoeBidennnn69. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Off-duty deputy was caught on camera pointing his weapon at children in his neighborhood - @Mandy_Matney - Sept 28, 2025

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland thought they would never read anything quite as horrible as the descriptions of Child Sexual Assault Material contained in former South Carolina Rep. RJ May's court records. But they were wrong.  On Monday, the United States Government filed a brief arguing that Charleston County Judge — and South Carolina's latest elected official accused of being a pedophile — James B. “Skip” Gosnell should be kept behind bars until his trial because he is not only one count of possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material.  He is also being accused of admitting to some of the most unthinkable abuse on babies. Naturally, Mandy, Liz and Eric have questions … who are the legislators and lawyers who helped Judge Gosnell behind the scenes to help keep him on the stand for decades despite a long history of racist and ethically corrupt behavior? And is this just the beginning? Will more powerful men in South Carolina be exposed for pedophilia? ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Charleston County Magistrate Charged with Possessing Child Sexual Abuse Material” - U.S. Attorney's Office, District of South Carolina, Sept 16, 2025

John is joined by Bethany W. Kristovich, Partner and Co-Chair of the Professional Liability Defense Group at Munger, Tolles & Olson, LLP.  They discuss some of the unique aspects of legal malpractice cases, including how often they arise from collection cases, how a plaintiff must prove not only malpractice but that without the malpractice, the case would have had a different result, the importance of expert testimony in malpractice cases, and the difficulty of mastering damages theories from both the underlying case and the malpractice action.  Bethany explains some of the worst things that can happen in a malpractice case, including the lawyer criticizing the former client so much it provokes a backlash by the jury, internal emails in which lawyers on the same team criticize each other's work, and lawyers who appear arrogant because they don't know their own rates.  Finally, Bethany explains several ways lawyers can protect themselves from malpractice claims, including making sure the client is worthy of the firm before taking their case, getting a retainer and staying current on billing and collections, creating short agendas for telephone conversations to document the topics being discussed, and including the client in all decisions about the case.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Peter invented LLP - linked-lyrical-poetry. LLP has the flavor of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Shakespeare's sonnets, and hip-hop/rap music. However, unlike Homer and Shakespeare, The Amazons is easy-to-read and understand.   The Amazons is a perfect introduction into epic poetry - but be sure to have a dictionary handy. In order to keep the rhyming scheme going, Peter relies on his extensive vocabulary (and a thesaurus or two!).   In addition to his unique style, I loved his storytelling and how he linked the history of England after the Napoleonic Wars to the fabled Amazons who supposedly lived in Peru. The story is fun, fast-paced, and filled with adventures. And for those who get hooked on the style, Peter has planned a series and is working on Books 2 and 3.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Peter Gunn Website: https://www.petergunn.net/ Tiktok: @petergunnpoetry   Purchase The Amazons on Amazon: Ebook: https://amzn.to/4lyT6if   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland are examining how Cardi B. has been schooling the courtroom on authenticity, Russell Laffitte stalls his way through justice.  Cardi B's testimony in California shows how authenticity and honesty can make a witness credible, even when the stakes are high. Contrast that with South Carolina's Russell Laffitte, whose plea and sentencing delays reflect a system that bends for the well-connected We also touch on how JP Miller's courtroom stunts might seem laughable, but they're a distraction from the real harm caused when predators use legal loopholes to protect themselves. Plus, in Texas, the family of Christa Bauer Gilley is still fighting for justice after her suspicious death was nearly written off as a suicide.  These cases may span celebrities, bankers, and grieving families, but the thread is the same: victims deserve better, and the truth deserves sunlight. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy's Reaction to Taylor & Travis Engagement on Instagram

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland are back again … and the filters (as usual) are OFF.  Mandy shares the tea about what went on last week in a Columbia, South Carolina, courtroom where her attorney Meredith Bannon argued against Mandy sitting for a deposition in a case she isn't a part of (David Voros and Alexandra Stasko v. Allison Dunnavant). The case stemmed from stories Mandy wrote before the Murdaugh murders about a University of South Carolina art professor accused of sexual harassment by a number of women.  Why are there no repercussions for lawyers who take objectively bad cases that seem to have only one purpose (to harass Mandy and Allison)? Why is it OK for Mandy to be deposed when one of the plaintiffs in the bad case has plainly and publicly stated that she wants to ruin and destroy Mandy's credibility (and life)?  Also on the show, what the heck happened at University of South Carolina on Sunday with the false alarm over an active shooter? And why did the school encourage people to “defend themselves against the shooter”? Plus Eric Bland has mad beef with Congresswoman Nancy Mace who — as it turns out — is allowed to SAY ANYTHING about ANYONE, as long as it's on the House floor. She — and other House members — have ABSOLUTE immunity from defamation cases stemming for what they've said in that forum according to Judge Gergel, which seems, very dangerous in this day and age. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy in Jamaica with - kobe_1_love_tours on Instagram

If you find yourself involved in the civil justice system, you don't have to go to trial. Alternatives like mediation or arbitration can offer faster, less adversarial paths to resolution without airing out all your business to the public. But, they're not the best option for every case — like everything with our justice system, there's a lot of nuance.  Kimberly Taylor, CEO of JAMS, sat down with investigative journalist Mandy Matney and attorney Eric Bland to discuss the advantages of differences between mediation and arbitration.  Taylor highlights JAMS' 40-year history, its 30-40 new panelists annually, and its optional appellate process.  JAMS recently welcomed judge Clifton Newman as one of their newest mediators! In the end… everyone agrees that a little emotional expression and a little lunch goes a long way to bringing an amicable resolution.  And some fresh baked cookies apparently don't hurt either…

Blunt Business welcomes Joshua Horn, co-chair of Fox Rothschild's LLP's cannabis law practice. We addressed several key issues impacting the cannabis industry, including the detrimental impact of California's upcoming cannabis tax increase, the challenges posed by the persistent illicit market, and the lack of state enforcement against it. We also addressed the stalled federal rescheduling of cannabis, attributing it to political factors and potential resistance within the DEA, while briefly touching on Pennsylvania's legalization efforts and frustrations with the lack of clear federal regulation.We also focused on the lack of progress in rescheduling cannabis at the federal level, despite the Biden administration's recommendation. Political factors and potential internal resistance within the DEA were cited as reasons for the delay. We also noted that the federal government's current tax revenue from the existing 280E structure might act as a disincentive for reform.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland have read the 182-page response filed Friday evening by the South Carolina Attorney General's Office in Alex Murdaugh's appellate case and it is BEYOND fiery. Prosecutors pulled no punches when deconstructing every single one of Team Murdaugh's intellectually dishonest and time-wasting arguments in pursuit of getting his murder conviction overturned. They also laid out the facts of the case — and all of the compelling evidence against Alex — in what is the clearest account of what happened in June 2021 yet. Mandy, Liz and Eric break down the best parts of the filing. Their conclusion? Anyone who STILL thinks Alex Murdaugh didn't get a fair trial needs to read every word of this response before talking. Also on the show, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has announced she's running for South Carolina governor... Will Nancy's antics and reputation put much-needed pressure on her biggest opponent, Attorney General Alan Wilson, to do his job?  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️Episode References US Marshalls refuse re-entry to SC federal courthouse to press during jury deliberations in August 2024

Although the lawsuit was filed by a pharmacist in New Mexico, a federal judge in New York has ordered CVS Omnicare to pay $949,000 to settle a False Claims Act (FCA) case.According to news sources, the Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM) allegedly prescribed drugs to individuals in long-term residential facilities that were not supported by valid prescriptions and then submitted claims for reimbursement for those prescriptions to Medicare, Medicaid, and TRICARE. Although a jury trial was held last spring, with the judge rejecting post-trial arguments by Omnicare, it is understood that Omnicare plans to appeal.Reporting details of this whistleblower lawsuit during the next edition of Monitor Mondays will be Max Voldman, a partner at Whistleblowers Law, LLP.The weekly broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Adam Brenman, senior healthcare government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.

Investigative journalists⁠ ⁠Mandy  Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ — and attorney⁠ ⁠Eric Bland⁠⁠ — discuss the power of victim impact statements in the Bryan Kohberger case.  Kohberger was charged in 2022 shortly after the horrific killings of four Idaho college students, whom he stabbed to death while they slept. His victims' loved ones used the power of their voices to let the court — and the public — know how many lives have been affected by this one man's depravity. Mandy, Liz and Eric discuss the importance of these victim impact statements and — in a case like this one — who these statements are for... Also on today's show, a discussion about the Florence County Sheriff's Office's arrest of a woman who miscarried at 18 weeks and the agency's menacing response to a journalist after she requested the police report on the investigation.

Investigative journalists and True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts  Mandy  Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — (reluctantly) discuss the latest (and perhaps most pathetic and reaching) strategy from Dick Harpootlian in his quest to get Alex Murdaugh's murder charge overturned. Cousin Eddie's text messages to Alex! Messages that literally don't help Alex's case one bit.  Also on the show … why is the legacy media helping Russell Laffitte advertise his Palmetto State Bank stock?  Plus listeners are outraged by the 2024 recording of South Carolina assistant attorney general Heather Weiss telling Scott Spivey's family why she “can't” charge Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams with killing Scott. And they should be!  Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about why the prosecution's reasons for not charging Boyd and Williams are weak, ill-informed and dishonest and why the citizens arrest law in South Carolina would even apply in this case.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “New text messages fuel Alex Murdaugh's push for new trial” - Fox News, July 15, 2025

Join the Federalist Society for a webinar on the ongoing legal challenges to the Biden-era Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program, a component of the Inflation Reduction Act. Ashley Parrish, Partner at King & Spalding, will provide an analysis of the multi-faceted litigation. He will explore how pharmaceutical companies are arguing that the program prevents accountability by granting the government "unlimited, unreviewable, unchecked rulemaking authority" over drug prices, and that it compels speech by forcing participation in agreements that imply voluntary negotiation. Mr. Parrish will also examine recent appellate court rulings and forecast the program's future, including its implications for the broader healthcare landscape. Featuring: Ashley C. Parrish, Partner, King & Spalding, LLP

Investigative journalists and True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts Mandy  Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — are back at it, discussing the latest in crime, corruption and the courts.    In today's episode Mandy and Eric share an update in the Stephen Smith case, plus their stories from the very successful walk held over the weekend in Hampton, South Carolina, after the 10th anniversary of Stephen's death.  The event gathered over 120 people to walk in person and virtually raising over $12,000 for Stephen Smith's scholarship and investigation funds.  Seeing Sandy happy and meeting the new Agent in charge of Stephen's case is entirely encouraging.  Also on the show, we're looking at what went down last week in the Scott Spivey wrongful death case.  Plus Mandy and Liz ask Eric to explain South Carolina's citizens' arrest law, which is what Attorney General Alan Wilson's office used to as an argument against charging Weldon and Bradley.  And finally, Russell Laffitte and Alex Murdaugh will be celebrating a reunion this fall.

Investigative journalists and co-hosts of True Sunlight Podcast Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland discuss the heinous details contained in court documents about what suspended South Carolina Representative RJ May has been accused of doing and why it was important for the U.S. Attorney's Office to get so graphic.  Over the course of five days in 2024, RJ May is accused of sharing 220 different child-sex abuse videos — including videos of babies being raped, bestiality with children and sex acts between toddlers and grown women and men. He shared those videos 479 times with other “like-minded pedophiles,” according to court records.  Even more stunning is that while the FBI conducted its investigation, RJ May remained a lawmaker and even got re-elected — despite the powers that be allegedly being aware of the nature of that investigation. RJ May's case should serve as a wake-up call for everyone.  Also on the show, Michael Colucci's retrial is this week. Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about the incredible accusations made in the motion to dismiss that Colucci's team filed Friday, accusing SLED and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson's Office of sitting on “conclusive evidence” that Michael's wife, Sara-Lynn Colucci — whom Michael is accused of killing — had plans to hang herself.  ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Will RJ May be expelled from SC House?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland —talk about the retrial of murder suspect Michael Colucci, who is accused of strangling his wife Sara-Lynn Moore Colucci 10 years ago in Summerville, South Carolina, and how the age and health of his high-profile (and high-cost) attorney contributed to the constant trial delays.  Is this yet another trick of the defense attorney trade in South Carolina? Leveraging an attorney's health in court to benefit defendants … and further hurt victims?  Also on the show it's been four years since Alex Murdaugh murdered his wife and son … and why phrasing it that way matters.  Plus churchy business bro “Pastor” JP Miller marries his alleged longtime mistress Suzie Skinner in a highly public (but still dumpy) beach ceremony. There's a lot to say there. ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References “Colleton County man goes to trial, accused of setting wife on fire, killing her” - Live5, Nov 4, 2024

This week we're diving into some of the most frustrating systems many Americans face, starting with healthcare. Liz joins us from Rhode Island and shares a harrowing family emergency and the implications of her uncle's hospital stay... The conversation pivots to the striking similarities between the healthcare system and the South Carolina bond system, highlighting the lack of uniformity and how the discretion involved feels like gambling. And consequently, the disturbing Nathan Cureton case, where a man with a violent history was released on bond to attend a graduation just days before an alleged kidnapping and murder-suicide… it all raises serious questions about public safety and the system's decision-making. We broaden our critique of the criminal justice system, discussing the frustration with police thoroughness and the feeling among the public that they have to be "part-time detectives". This includes a deep dive into the confusing circumstances of the Chris Skinner case, involving his drowning death, the police and coroner ruling it an accident despite video suggesting suicide, and baffling police interviews that seemed to lack interest or key questions. Finally, Mandy shares a personal update – she's been notified that Bill Padget wants to depose her in a long dead lawsuit that feels more like harassment. We discuss the process, the challenges for journalists facing legal action years after reporting a story, and Mandy's strong feelings about the lawyer and lawsuit…  It's a raw look at confusing, costly, and sometimes dangerous systems that feel rigged against the average person… but that's why we're talking about it to educate and hopefully entertain! ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References Katie Couric Gets A Colonoscopy on TODAY

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack the continued fallout from the Alex Murdaugh trial, and the four new felony charges for former Clerk of Court, Becky Hill. They dissect the charges against Hill, clarifying that she faces misconduct, obstruction and perjury allegations... but not for jury tampering, despite Team Murdaugh's narrative. The hosts reveal how Hill seemed to embrace the attention, and how 'Backstage' Becky's actions, like charging high fees and allegedly showing sealed photos of victims' bodies to media at a party, raised all sorts of alarms. Did the Murdaugh defense team see Hill as an "easy target" to base an appeal on and what was the role of attorney Joe McCulloch, present throughout the trial for... a screenplay? And what was the complicity of media members who viewed sealed evidence... Will there be consequences? We hope so.  Despite these issues, we strongly believe Alex Murdaugh received a fair trial, and question the credibility of anyone alleging that jury tampering occurred.  Plus, we address the P. Diddy federal sex trafficking trial and why transparency matters.  ☕ Cups Up!  ⚖️ Episode References“Murdaugh clerk of court Becky Hill facing perjury, misconduct charges” - CourtTV, May 14, 2025
