COJ #110 - Cups Up from Hollywood! + Alex Murdaugh’s Long List of Grievances + Cory Fleming’s First ...

Live from Hollywood! This week attorney  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  asks investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (https://bit.ly/3dp3w3B)  and  [Liz Farrell] (https://x.com/elizfarrell)  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…  🥽 Let's Dive In... 🦈 [Premium Members] (https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE) also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

COJ #109: Four More Trials For Alex Murdaugh’s Banker Buddy? + What Shook Us About The CEO Assassin ...

Investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (https://bit.ly/3dp3w3B)  and  [Liz Farrell] (https://x.com/elizfarrell)  — and attorney  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  — discuss the first post-prison court appearance of Alex Murdaugh’s alleged co-conspirator Russell Laffitte. On Monday, Russell was looking like a different and defeated man when his whiny attorneys — Mark Moore and state Rep. Todd Rutherford — tried to postpone his state court date to “Never” and asked the court to unfreeze his $10 million to $12 million (!) fortune so they can get paid.  The biggest news to come out of the courtroom Monday was that Russell could end up having THREE state trials, in addition to his federal one.  Also on the show, Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about the arrest of Luigi Mangione — aka the alleged “CEO Assassin” — and his unlikely (and questionable) rise to folk hero. The murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson has led to a cultural shift, where people took to social media to share their horror stories with health insurance companies.

We also talk about the release of Eric’s new book, “Anything But Bland” and its reception on social media. Plus the Jamie Lee Komoroski case goes to trial this week in Charleston County.

COJ #107 - Amanda Knox On Trauma, True Crime Storytelling and Ethical Reporting

Investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (https://bit.ly/3dp3w3B)  and  [Liz Farrell] (https://x.com/elizfarrell)  sit down with  [Amanda Knox] (https://www.instagram.com/amamaknox)  to talk about true crime, journalism, media ethics and finding clarity in a world where facts aren’t enough to persuade someone of the truth. In 2007, Seattle resident Amanda Knox was a 20-year-old studying abroad in Perugia, Italy, when the worst happened: A man broke into the apartment she shared with three other women and brutally raped and murdered her roommate: British student Meredith Kercher. The town’s unscrupulous police agency immediately — and wrongly — put all their energy into making Amanda into a suspect no matter how many times the evidence told them otherwise. To make matters worse, they colluded with a tabloid reporter to paint Amanda out to be a “femme fatale” and fed the reporter made-up stories about what happened the night of Meredith’s murder. And the public was only too happy to take part in the resulting frenzy that was almost entirely born out of these men’s sexual fantasies about Amanda. Though she’s since been acquitted on appeal and completely exonerated by Italy’s high court, Amanda continues to grapple with backlash from those who have trouble accepting her innocence.

COJ #106 - Russell Laffitte’s Conviction Was Vacated… But What Does That Mean For Murdaugh & Company...

After Alex Murdaugh’s banker buddy Russell Laffitte was given a new trial, investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (https://bit.ly/3dp3w3B)  and  [Liz Farrell] (https://x.com/elizfarrell)  — and attorney  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  — take a look at what went into the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to vacate the conviction of Alex Murdaugh’s banker buddy Russell Laffitte and discuss what they expect to see in the future. When will Russell’s retrial be held? Will Judge Richard Gergel — whose error led to this mess — still be the judge in the case? And what does this mean for the victims? Also on the show, the Egg Lady Juror asks the court to reconsider her request to be part of Alex’s murder conviction appeal. Plus, Mandy, Liz and Eric start their preparations for the Lee Gilley case in Houston, Texas. Lee — who originally told police that his wife died by suicide, according to reports — has been charged with capital murder for the strangulation death of Christa Bauer Gilley, who was nine weeks pregnant at the time. This past week, we broke the news that Lee had hired Dick DeGuerin to be the lead attorney on his defense team. Dick — much like another Dick we know — has a reputation that precedes him, and not just because of his reported skills in the courtroom. Dick DeGuerin has represented the likes of David Koresh and — of all people — Robert Durst, who famously confessed to three murders during the making of the docuseries “The Jinx.” Stay posted on  [Eric Bland's New Book Anything But Bland] (https://bit.ly/blandbook)  or Pre-Order Today:  [https://amzn.to/4eH6LQJ] (https://amzn.to/4eH6LQJ) 🥽 Let's Dive In... 🦈 Episode Resources: [Officials believe a missing kayaker likely faked his death and fled the country] (https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/14/us/video/missing-kayaker-wisconsin-officials-say-faked-death-wild-pkg-digvid%20) [The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (HBO)] (https://www.max.com/shows/jinx-the-life-and-deaths-of-robert-durst/2039343b-3fa2-400c-8342-bcb8d308ba14) [The Great Defenders - How did natty, flashy Dick DeGuerin and his quiet, determined brother, Mike, become two of the best lawyers in Texas? ] (https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/the-great-defenders/) [Presumed Guilty Podcast with Dick DeGuerin] (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/presumed-guilty-with-dick-deguerin/id1566623301%20) [Premium Members] (https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE) also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

COJ #105: JP Miller’s (Much Deserved) Night in Jail + Monkey Madness in Murdaugh Country

On today's episode, investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (http://twitter.com/mandymatney)  and  [Liz Farrell] (http://twitter.com/elizfarrell)  — and attorney  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  — talk about yet another piece of good news in the Mica Francis case: Her husband JP Miller’s arrest... After months of squaring off with protesters outside his (now closed) church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — and just one week after the FBI raided his house — JP Miller lost his cool in public and was arrested for third-degree assault and battery. Why? Because a woman said “Here, Kitty Kitty” to him. Also on the show, Colleton County Sheriff’s Office loses key evidence, leading to the exoneration of Craig Lewis,  [a man accused of raping, beating and burning his wife to death] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnAHGUpiin4) . Was it corruption or incompetence? Plus, all heck broke loose in the Lowcountry last week when 43 young female macaque monkeys escaped a lab right in the heart of Murdaugh Country. Monkeys, you say? Didn’t the Egg Lady Juror work on a monkey farm? She sure did. And she’s not the only Murdaugh connection to the story.

COJ #104: FBI Raids Pastor JP Miller’s House, Another Big Loss for Alex Murdaugh + Bowen Turner Back...

Talk about great timing... Just as investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (http://twitter.com/mandymatney)  and  [Liz Farrell] (http://twitter.com/elizfarrell)  — and attorney  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  — were getting together Friday to record, the FBI was in the middle of raiding the home of Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller. Six months ago, JP’s wife, Mica Francis, was found dead in a North Carolina swamp, purportedly a victim of suicide. Since then  [Cup of Justice] (https://www.cupofjusticpod.com/) , True Sunlight Podcast and other news media have kept a steady spotlight on JP as the ugly truth emerged about what Mica’s life looked like leading up to her death. What does the FBI raid mean for JP and the accusations that he was abusing Mica through coercive control? What assumptions can we make about his future now that the FBI has made it clear that they believe there’s something to investigate? Also on today’s show, Alex Murdaugh and the Egg Lady Posse see another big loss, putting a dent in their propaganda machine as they conspire to get Alex’s murder conviction overturned. Plus, why the Menendez Brothers case is about more than who deserves parole in America. And Bowen Turner’s lawyer says he’s been rehabilitated. Can we trust that now that Bowen’s back on the streets?

COJ #103 - The Wildest Story of Attorney Corruption Ever Told .. With Special Guest and Former OJ Si...

This week on “Cup of Justice” join investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (http://twitter.com/mandymatney)  and  [Liz Farrell] (http://twitter.com/elizfarrell)  as they sit down with former OJ Simpson prosecutor  [Marcia Clark] (https://marciaclarkbooks.com/) , who is host of the “ [Informants: Lawyer X” podcast now on Wondery] (https://wondery.com/shows/informants-lawyer-x/) . “ [Informants: Lawyer X] (https://wondery.com/shows/informants-lawyer-x/) ” tells the (unbelievably wild and very true) story of an Australian defense attorney —  [Nicola Gobbo] (https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/sep/30/court-hears-police-groomed-melbourne-lawyer-turned-informer-nicola-gobbo-ntwnfb)  — who played both sides of the criminal justice system. Gobbo represented some of Melbourne’s biggest (alleged) criminals while also serving as a top informant for law enforcement. In other words, Gobbo was defending her clients while also telling on them. Mandy and Liz talk to Marcia Clark about what makes the Gobbo case so egregious and so unlike any other ethical lapses involving attorneys that we have ever seen. They also discuss the Menendez Brothers case, as well as the OJ Simpson case and how that case might have played if it happened in the age of podcasts and TikTok.  Also on the show, Mandy and Liz talk about what they’re seeing in the Christa Bauer Gilley case out of Houston, as well as thrice-accused rapist Bowen Turner, who is expected to be released from prison on Halloween.  Premium Members also get a discussion on the Menendez brothers' re-sentencing and the broader implications for abuse victims.

COJ #102 - Mandy’s Wild Uber Ride, What the Diddy Case Tells Us about Our Collective Brain-Washing

Investigative journalists  [Mandy Matney] (http://twitter.com/mandymatney) ,  [Liz Farrell] (http://twitter.com/elizfarrell)  and attorney  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  — talk about Mandy’s wild encounter with an Uber driver who was a law enforcement officer in Marion, Kansas, and who … didn’t think the police raid on The Marion County Record and the related death of its editor’s 90-year-old mother were problematic or illegal? Good thing, quick-thinking David thought to record the conversation.  Also on the show, the Diddy case keeps getting more twisted as more victims come forward. How did it get this far without anyone stopping him? Were his lawyers complicit in the abuse? And who else was involved? It’s time to name them all and shame them all. They also touched on the importance of public trials and the role of cameras in courtrooms, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability.  Premium members also get a conversation updating us on Buster's defamation case as the defendants continue to fight back and discredit his claims.

COJ #101 - Exposing The Underbelly Of Rigged Insurance: From Alex Murdaugh’s Nautilus Case To Hurric...

On our 101st [Cup of Justice podcast] (https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/d58f4366-9a23-11e6-bc62-dba24ba6b9fb/podcasts/3832d068-e5c3-11ed-a8b5-d3594764b5b9/episodes/9298cd26-8ef8-11ee-b7c4-0fa12ca8efd3/www.cupofjusticepod.com) episode we tackle how the insurance and legal systems are rigged against consumers in the wake of disaster, how this benefits certain parties (like insurance companies and lawyers), and how the Murdaugh family and their associates exploited these systems for their gain. Specifically, the case of Hampton County, South Carolina, and its reputation for large settlements and verdicts, potentially due to corruption and the influence of powerful figures like the Murdaughs. It raises the question of whether the county's legal system is truly a "hellhole" for those seeking justice. We also look at the role of John Grantland, Alex Murdaugh's attorney in the Satterfield case, who admitted to smelling a trap but proceeded with the settlement anyway. It raises questions about Nautilus' actions and in the scheme - especially now that they are pursuing Alex to get their 3.8 million dollars back... about which we are skeptical to say the least.

Plus we'll look at the continuing lack of transparency and communication when it comes to getting law enforcement to respond about the dozens of interactions that they had with JP Miller and Mica Francis leading up to her death. Also on the show, a look back at the most difficult and more impactful moments on [Cup of Justice podcast] (www.cupofjusticepod.com) .

COJ #99 - Buster Murdaugh Defamation Case Heats Up + Dick Harpootlian’s Sunlight Scheme + Hard Truth...

Cup of Justice Co-hosts  [Mandy Matney] (http://twitter.com/mandymatney) ,  [Liz Farrell] (http://twitter.com/elizfarrell)  and  [Eric Bland] (http://twitter.com/theericbland)  — have returned to their respective studios for the latest episode of Cup of Justice in which there was A LOT to talk about.  Over the past few weeks there have been several court filings, including in Alex Murdaugh’s murder conviction appeal. Dick Harpootlian suddenly has love for more sunlight in this case and is advocating for the South Carolina Supreme Court to unseal SLED’s investigation into Juror 785 … you know, the Egg Lady juror, who was dismissed from Alex’s jury WITHOUT objection from Dick. It’s not clear what Team Murdaugh wants the public to see, but we’re sure it’s more distraction and nonsense.  Filings in Buster Murdaugh’s defamation case accuse Buster and his attorney of misrepresenting the words of a Hampton County reporter in a Netflix documentary that aired last year. As the big name production companies fight to move Buster’s case to federal court, Buster’s team has promised to push back. Also on the show, the P Diddy case spotlights a hard truth: People knew bad things were happening, making bystanders nothing more than accomplices. [Premium Members] (https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE) get an extra discussion on capital punishment and a deeper dive into the P-Diddy situation... But also!! [Premium Members] (https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE) will get a LIVE Virtual Broadcast of our 100th Episode of COJ - open to all Premium Members!  Join us Friday, September 27th at 7pm ET on an unlisted YouTube link to be released on your premium feed this week - join today at [lunashark.supercast.com] (https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE) .
