Cup of Justice Podcast

Cups Up! ☕ Eric Bland, one of South Carolina's most decorated legal malpractice attorneys, sat before the ODC and was made to feel like "a menace to the bar." ⚖️ Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell, and Eric Bland pull back the curtain on how a federally convicted felon appears to be weaponizing the disciplinary complaint process to punish the very lawyer who helped take Alex Murdaugh down. 😡 They trace the chilling effect rippling through every truth-teller in the system, from Liz's Baltimore deposition to Mandy's May 15 hearing at the Moss Justice Center (PLEASE JOIN US). 💖 ➕ Capital murder defendant Lee Gilley slips from Houston to Milan on a forged Belgian passport, while pre-trial services waited out the weekend before they informed the court. Unreal. 🎧 Listen to Cup of Justice 179 at link in stories or wherever you get your podcasts! #CupOfJustice #COJPod #MandyMatney #LizFarrell #EricBland #Podcast #TrueCrime #IndependentJournalism #TrueCrimePodcast #SouthCarolina #JusticeSystem #LUNASHARKMedia #MurdaughMurders #JusticeMatters #InvestigativeJournalism #AlexMurdaugh #LegalDrama

And yet, the man who ACTUALLY HAD the Mallory Beach photos has skipped two depositions without consequence. 💔 Mandy responds to one of the most defamatory, reckless pieces of "journalism" we've seen yet and Liz lays out the timeline that exposes exactly what's happening here. 🦈 PLUS Premium Members get our full analysis on the Alex Murdaugh new trial rumors. 🎧 Listen to Cup of Justice 178 at link in stories or wherever you get your podcasts! #CupOfJustice #COJPod #MandyMatney #LizFarrell #EricBland #Podcast #TrueCrime #IndependentJournalism #TrueCrimePodcast #SouthCarolina #JusticeSystem #LUNASHARKMedia #MurdaughMurders #JusticeMatters #InvestigativeJournalism

Over 100 people showed up for me at my civil contempt of court hearing vs Greg Parker’s attorneys in Judge Kelly’s courtroom in York South Carolina. We painted the courtroom pink. Filled it. Some people in pink even were turned away at the door. There was one green dot in the sea of pink though… sweet Sandy Smith. I heard her telling another supporter “Mandy always shows up for me so of course I’m here for her.” 🩷💚😭😭 There is so much to say about what happened on Friday and I will fill you all in on this week’s @cojpod — but I want to start by saying THANK YOU. Thank you to everyone who traveled miles and miles to be there. And wore PINK to show the undeniable amount of support I had in the room. Thank you to my amazing attorneys @rklindahl and @notinnyc 🩷 and to @elizfarrell and @bethbraden.journalist and @theericblandbr for being there to show your support. Thank you to @katniss_704 for painting my favorite strong woman art — and bringing it to court. Thank you to my endlessly supportive and brave husband @moseswanders And thank you again to everyone who made me feel supported, loved and BELIEVED on Friday. This has all been hell but all of you have shown me the light in darkness ☀️☀️🩷🩷

Remain loud, you say? 🗣️ That's actually one of our specialties. ⚖️ Watching how Mica's Law has been treated in the South Carolina legislature so far has been disheartening, but we'll never shut up about it. 📅 Reminder that JP Miller's pre-trial conference in federal court is just a few weeks away on May 21. 🎧 Listen to Cup of Justice 177 at the link in stories or wherever you get your podcasts! #CupOfJustice #COJPod #MandyMatney #LizFarrell #MandyPowersNorrell #Podcast #TrueCrime #IndependentJournalism #TrueCrimePodcast #SouthCarolina #JusticeSystem #LUNASHARKMedia #MicasLaw #CoerciveControl #DomesticViolenceAwareness #JusticeForMica

Hunting?✅ Fishing?✅ Boats?✅ But a coercive control bill has been collecting dust in the South Carolina legislature since 2020.

THE GOOD NEWS is that I got confirmation today that the May 15 hearing in York, SC will be for civl contempt — not criminal contempt — meaning jail is not on the table (as far as I’m concerned). SO at 10 a.m. on May 15, my amazing lawyers Becky Lindahl and Meredith Bannon will present my side and show why I shouldn’t be held in contempt. Please join us in York County, SC and or SHARE THIS POST bring sunlight to this case. No journalist or person should be buried in legal fees and scared into silence in a lawsuit they have NOTHING to do with. #pressfreedom #FirstAmendment #YorkSC #Murdaugh #MalloryBeach
