Podcasts about murdaugh murders podcast

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and the whole LUNASHARK team — are celebrating 100 episodes of True Sunlight Podcast, the show that emerged from their relentless pursuit of justice in the highly acclaimed Murdaugh Murders Podcast (which, of course, is the basis for the star-studded Hulu scripted series currently filming in Atlanta).  What better way to celebrate two years of post-Murdaugh reporting than with an old throwback … breaking Murdaugh news on a Wednesday! Former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill was arrested and charged with four felony counts — two misconduct in office charges, an obstruction of justice charge and perjury.  Though three of the charges are related to Alex Murdaugh's murder trial they are NOT related to Dick and Jim's claims of jury-tampering. Two of the charges are specifically related to photos of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh's dead bodies, which were allegedly leaked to a "news" agency during the trial and later distributed to random people following the Murdaugh case. Hmmm... But will these charges affect Alex's chances at getting a new trial?  Also on the show, an update in the (18:49) Jane Doe lawsuits against Myrtle Beach “pastor” John-Paul Miller.  Plus, our continuing coverage of (34:17) the Weldon Boyd Calls. From the second North Myrtle Beach businessman opened his truck door after shooting 33-year-old Scott Spivey of Tabor City, North Carolina, to death in September 2023, Boyd began his search for the perfect narrative — one that would explain his presence on Camp Swamp Road and fit the definition of the Stand Your Ground law; that would explain why Scott was shot to death in the back and in his truck; one that integrated the emerging bits of information Weldon appeared to be getting from the shadows of the so-called investigation by Horry County Police Department.  Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland — (3:21) talk about the big reveal this past week of A-List Hollywood actor Jason Clarke in full costume as Alex Murdaugh. Clarke, who stars in the upcoming Hulu production based on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — now True Sunlight Podcast — was seen filming in Atlanta and … let's just say he has more than just the LUNSHARK team excited for the series.  It turns out the fake Alex Murdaugh wasn't the only one getting headlines this past week. The lawyers for the real (13:35) Alex did what the lawyers for the real Alex do best and that's getting mainstream media to help them wrongly paint the state Attorney General's Office as sneaky and underhanded. As usual, it's much ado about nothing.  Also on the show, (34:08) will Buster Murdaugh's latest strategy in his federal defamation case against Warner Brothers actually work? Mandy and Liz pick Eric's brain on whether Alex's remaining son has a chance.  Plus the latest in the (49:01) Sara Lynn Colucci case and why prosecutors need to rethink their interactions with victims and their families.

We celebrate another year for the record books with excerpts from episodes throughout the year. Case highlights, amazing special guests and SOOO much insight from co-hosts Eric Bland, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell .  Investigative Journalist Mandy Matney, reporter Beth Braden, our resident librarian Kate Thomas and our producer David take a moment to reflect on 12 carefully selected segments as we review everything from the Murdaugh trial with Vinnie Politan to the Michelle Carter case with Erin Lee Carr, Mica Francis and legacy Murdaugh cases with the core team.  This holiday season, we are thankful for our guests, our team, our members and our listeners. Cup of Justice passed 100 episodes this year and we're excited for our schedule next year with new trials, new voices and new concepts.  In 2025 we'll be chatting about news on the Hulu series based on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, visiting the set, planning a lowcountry premiere for the fall, talk with victims about their perceptions and give y'all the inside scoop on how the sausage gets made in Hollywood... Plus, new guests, new topics and all the great conversations you love. 

Live from Hollywood! This week attorney Eric Bland asks investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell about their visit to to 'La La Land' and the writers' room of Hulu's upcoming scripted series based on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast.  As always, there was a lot to talk about (including Eric's connection to the Luigi Mangione case?!). Last week, Alex Murdaugh filed a 132-page initial brief for his consolidated appeal in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court and … it's A LOT. Team Murdaugh went full Team Misdirection and added a number of new grievances while leaving out a lot of old context (no surprise there). Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about Alex's chances at getting a new trial and what his latest strategy seems to be. Also on the show, the first prison photo of Cory Fleming has emerged and, let's just say, Hot Summer Cory is officially over. Accountability is coming in all forms… 

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — formerly of Murdaugh Murders Podcast — give an update on the latest drama involving Alex Murdaugh. His remaining son, Buster Murdaugh, filed a defamation lawsuit this week against major networks over documentaries they ran, which he said falsely insinuated he had something to do with Stephen Smith's death. He is also suing a Hampton County reporter and his newspaper company for that same thing. Also, a federal judge issues an order in the Nautilus case, in which the insurance company who issued a multi-million dollar payout to Cory Fleming in Gloria Satterfield's death is suing to get their money back. In his ruling, Judge Richard Gergel notes that the insurance company KNEW that something fishy was going on with the Satterfield case and yet STILL gave Cory that money. Why? The insurance company feared the payout would be worse if it went to a Hampton County jury. Also on the show, Mandy and Liz continue to connect dots in the Mica Francis case as Mica's estranged husband, John-Paul Miller, continues to make TikTok videos in the hopes of putting out his own narrative about what their marriage was like. Plus, the disturbing patterns in JP's parents' divorce in 2002 and what it tells us about JP's upbringing.

Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators while pursuing justice for all the victims you've met so far. Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of corruption across the US.

It's been another week full of twists and turns in the Alex Murdaugh story. With each new development in this case, we're getting to see the inner workings of the justice system and how it just simply works better for certain people. The first plea deal has been struck in Alex Murdaugh's web of crime and corruption. Former attorney Cory Fleming, who was Murdaugh's best friend — and godfather to Buster Murdaugh — has agreed to cooperate with the federal government and provide information in exchange for leniency. Murdaugh Murders Podcast hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and everyone's favorite attorney Eric Bland — discuss the latest in the Murdaugh Murders saga, as well as how clients can protect themselves from lawyers like Alex and Cory. We're asking people — specifically those who have had cases with PMPED and other related law firms — to request copies of their files and to CHECK their disbursement sheets and expense sheets to see if there's anything questionable on there.

This is the last episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast created by Mandy Matney, written with journalist Liz Farrell and produced by David Moses... but don't freak out! We are simply changing the name of the podcast next week while the mission stays the same. The podcast will ONLY get better from here — with more stories to cover, more journalists to work with, and WOO, more time to do these podcasts.  This podcast has been much more than work for our whole team in the past two years.  So for this episode, before we start tackling other complicated cases, we want to take some time to reflect on the last two years. To remember the good, bad, ugly and straight up strange things we have revealed on MMP. To remember where we started, how far we've come. To remind everyone that if we can do this, you can do it too.  As the Murdaugh Murders Podcast team looks toward a very bright future of shining a light on corruption, co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell reflect on the past two years of uncovering the truth in the dark underworld of Alex Murdaugh. The battle for justice is ongoing but being pesky paid off. In this episode, Mandy and Liz go behind-the-scenes and share the best, biggest and funniest moments of the podcast and the many surprises they encountered along the way.

Even from prison, convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh manages to further traumatize his victims. This time it's the Satterfield family. On today's episode of Cup of Justice we talk about one of the most upsetting things to have happened since Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to life in March. Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and everyone's favorite attorney Eric Bland — discuss Murdaugh's admission that he lied about how Gloria Satterfield died and what that means, and what it DOESN'T mean, for the case. They also delve into male egotism, prison romance and why Jim Griffin and Dick Harpootlian might still be slumming it. Last week, Alex filed a response to the federal case that was filed against him by one of the two insurance companies in the settlement that was supposed to go to the Satterfield family — which totalled $4.3 million. In that filing he admitted to lying about the dogs tripping Gloria. The fallout from that was the suggestion that the Satterfield family might have to pay back the money they received as a result of Alex's admitted legal malpractice and the alleged legal malpractice of the family's attorney at the time, Alex's best friend Cory Fleming. In other words, the solution to Alex's admitted crime — in his and his supporters' eyes — is for Nautilus to go after the family who was swindled by him. Because our co-host Eric Bland and his partner Ronnie Richter are the ones who helped the Satterfield family be made whole, you better believe Eric was fired up in this episode. There's always something to talk about with him … let's get into it!

Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrel take a look at the shocking SECRET release of convicted murderer Jeroid Price, who was allowed to leave prison 15 years before his sentence was over.

In BREAKING NEWS - Eric Bland and Ronnie Richter have been retained by Sandy Smith to help her get Justice for Stephen. Mandy joins Sandy and Eric in a press Conference today, Monday March 20th at 8:30am on the Bland Richter Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/blandrichter  Now that Alex Murdaugh will spend the rest of his life in prison for the murders of Maggie and Paul, it's time to put the focus on getting answers in the Stephen Smith case. For almost eight years, Sandy Smith has fought to get answers about her son's murder. Whether or not Alex Murdaugh had anything to do with Stephen Smith's death, the Murdaugh name is connected to the case in some way. Our greatest hope right now is that the momentum from the murder trial and the powerhouse duo of Bland & Richter encourages people to come out of the shadows to finally speak up and say what they know about Stephen's murder in 2015. In this episode, we talk about the reasoning behind the exhumation and how private exhumations work. Smith's family believes he was murdered, and they want an unbiased look at his body and an accurate determination of his cause of death based on facts. At the date of this release the Go Fund Me has raised over $61,000.  We also catch up on Russell Laffitte's attempt to use Alex Murdaugh's witness stand exoneration as grounds for a new trial. And we take a look at ways community members can help get answers in cold cases. Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and everyone's favorite attorney Eric Bland — talk about the next steps in the Smith case and how people can get answers in cases that have gone cold. We all want to drink from the same Cup Of Justice — and it starts with learning about our legal system. What questions do y'all have for us?

Thank you for your patience as this episode is publishing later than usual. As I said on social media, our team is in adjustment mode after the adrenaline and the chaos of the trial slowed down and we're all still trying to all recenter our focus.  Now that Alex Murdaugh has been convicted in the murders of his wife and son, it's time to take a look back on all the pieces that had to come together for the jury to deliver that guilty verdict. In the short time since Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murdering his wife and son, a lot has happened in the wake of his sentencing. This week on Murdaugh Murders Podcast, co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at the latest criticism of the murder investigation and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division — as well as Jim Griffin's strange post-trial social media presence and Russell Laffitte's defeats in the courtroom. They also talk with Sandy Smith about the next steps in finding justice for her son, Stephen Smith. To learn more about the planned Independent Exhumation and Autopsy for Stephen, click here: http://bit.ly/3JGacec A private medical examiner must be present from the start of the exhumation through the examination period at a cost of approximately $750 per hour. It is a huge expense, but we are hoping that with your support we can make this happen and finally get the answers we need. If you can give, we thank you for your generosity. If you cannot give, we would appreciate you sharing and praying for justice for Stephen. We believe 2023 is Stephen's year.

One week after Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to life for killing his wife and son, Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and everyone's favorite attorney Eric Bland — take a look at the questions surrounding a juror's connections to a witness, the problems with the judicial selection process in South Carolina and the need for reform and Russell Laffitte's overdue bills. It's been over a week since Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to two consecutive life terms for killing his wife and son, and there hasn't been a break in the news. On Monday, federal Judge Richard Gergel denied Russell Laffitte's motion for a new trial. Now his case moves to the appeals phase, which Russell will go through without the help of his original attorneys Bart Daniel and Matt Austin because on Thursday Bart and Matt filed a motion to dump Russell. Apparently Alex's co-conspirator hasn't paid the balance of his legal bill at Nelson Mullins. According to our amazing co-host Eric Bland, Russell will be sentenced in May or June of this year and, after reading Judge Gergel's scathing order Monday, we're all expecting he'll receive a significant punishment.  We have a really interesting show for you today. We talked about the unwarranted criticism surrounding James the Juror and his connection to the Colleton County Sheriff's Office, Dick Harpootlian's Good Ole Boy fragility and the need for judicial reform in this state.

In this first part of a two-part episode, Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and everyone's favorite attorney Eric Bland talk about the suspicious circumstances surrounding Alex Murdaugh's one big case as a lead prosecutor; the untouchable “retired” judges who are reluctant to give up the power (and money) that come with the black robes; and the time Eric had to go to Circuit City to buy something to place at the altar of Dick Harpootlian. As we revisit the ONE CASE Alex tried as a lead prosecutor — the Emmanuel Buckner case in 2019 - we talk in depth about that in episode 73 of Murdaugh Murders Podcast. If you haven't listened to that one yet, we recommend you start there.
