| 6/30/26 | COJ #185 - Contempt & Contraband: What's New & Old In Murdaugh 2.0 | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland analyze everything that went down when Mandy (and Eric) took the stand last week during the absurd contempt proceedings. Why did Parker's team show up with four partner-level attorneys, two binders, and zero affidavit? And why was Debbie Barbier demanding Luna Shark's private financials in open court — before any finding of contempt? Then... the Murdaugh retrial gets a no-nonsense new judge. Judge Debra McCaslin sets an April 5 trial date, shuts down the laptop request, and puts Dick Harpootlian on notice — continuances aren't on the menu. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Mandy’s reaction to her civil contempt hearing 🌐 Toyota of Florence, Inc. v.

| 6/16/26 | COJ #184 - Did Dick Harpootlian Lose His Political Power? Unpacking The Primary + Egg Lady Plays Victim In Netflix ‘Instadoc’ | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack a stunning South Carolina primary: Jermaine Johnson's grassroots gubernatorial win, Nancy Mace's fifth-place collapse, Lindsey Graham's surprising vulnerability, and the AG race that exposed how trial lawyers really profit. Is Dick Harpootlian's reign as ‘kingmaker’ finally over? Then the team turns to the courts: the shocking not-guilty verdict in the Rick Chow shooting, Netflix's rushed new Murdaugh "Insta-doc" recasting the Egg Lady juror as a victim, and what the soon-to-be-released juror files might (or might not) reveal. Plus, Judge Debbie McCaslin's appointment to the retrial raises fresh conflict questions, and attorney Desa Ballard's bizarre crusade against Mark Tinsley gets the scrutiny it deserves. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Judge stops $75 million South Carolina payment to private law firms for SRS settlement negotiations” - The Augusta Chronicle, Sept 30, 2020 📰 “South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen” - CNN, updated June 1, 2026 📰 Netflix’s “Instadocs: Alex Murdaugh, Unconvicted” 🎞️ Previous Episode: COJ 181 with Dr. Jermaine Johnson Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

Matt opens up about the evolution of true crime podcasting, from his early days working with Wondery to building Campside Media, and the ethical tightrope walk of turning real tragedies into narrative entertainment. Matt brings a unique perspective on building audience trust while maintaining journalistic integrity. He shares why some stories deserve to be told, what makes a case podcast-worthy beyond just being shocking, and how storytelling can actually drive real criminal justice reform.

| 2/3/26 | COJ #166 - Stand Your Ground (But Only If We Like You): When the Attorney General Picks and Chooses | Today we need to address alarming developments in press freedom as independent journalists, including Don Lemon, face federal charges for violating the FACE Act of 1994. Then Liz reintroduces a case we covered on True Sunlight #134 involving Anijah Yarnell, who claimed self-defense after shooting Michael Pennington in 2020. However, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson unusually appealed the decision—contrasting sharply with Wilson's public opposition to charge others like Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams. Then we’re sharing an excerpt from Liz and Mandy’s recent appearance on Laura Richard’s Crime Analyst Podcast (Episode 303). Richards, Matney, and Farrell emphasize the critical role of independent journalism and sustained public pressure in preventing cases from being swept away. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Crime Analyst Ep 303 On YouTube Crime Analyst Ep. 303 Audio: Mica Francis: Analyzing the Federal Charges Against John Paul Miller with Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell “Journalist Don Lemon charged with federal civil rights crimes after covering anti-ICE church protest” - AP News, Updated Jan 30, 2026 📰 “Horry County murder case ruled Stand Your Ground being appealed.

| 1/27/26 | COJ #165 - Due Process on Trial: Weaponized Complaints From The State Bar to Feds Executing Curbside ‘Justice’ | In this episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland confront a troubling throughline connecting professional discipline, prosecutorial discretion, and the rapid erosion of constitutional norms. Eric recounts a chilling professional reality: an SC Bar disciplinary investigation triggered by harsh—but truthful—excise of free speech, while far more serious attorney misconduct across South Carolina goes untouched. From there, the discussion turns to newly filed deposition testimony, and the hosts break down how witness narratives can subtly “evolve” under pressure. The final segment widens the lens to the streets of Minnesota, as the team grapples with the fatal shooting of American Nurse Alex Pretti and the alarming normalization of armed federal agents operating without transparency, judicial warrants, or visible identification. At its core, this episode asks a sobering question: What happens when the systems designed to protect justice instead punish those who challenge abuse? The answer... is why journalism, courts, and public scrutiny matter now more than ever. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Lawyer & Judicial Discipline Overview from SC ODC ⚖️ Explainer: Immigration Removal Proceedings and Expanded Mandatory Detention in the U.S. - National Immigration Forum, July 28, 2025 📰 “In Battle for Evidence, Minnesota Sues Feds Over Fatal Border Patrol Shooting” - Wall Street Journal, Updated Jan 25, 2026 📰 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

| 1/20/26 | COJ #164 - Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Maggie Freleng on The Objectivity Lie and Criminal Justice Reform | Maggie Freleng, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, joins Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell to discuss her career trajectory, starting from her early days in journalism to her work on the pivotal "Suave" podcast. She shares insights on the Maura Murray case, which she investigated, and the impact of true crime podcasts on public perception and law enforcement. In this compelling episode, Freleng—creator of the acclaimed "Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County" podcast—discusses her journey from aspiring travel blogger to leading voice in wrongful conviction journalism. We’re exploring the fascinating dichotomy between accountability journalism and innocence work, with Liz Farrell describing it as "two batteries facing different directions" pressuring the justice system to function properly.

| 1/13/26 | COJ #163 - JP Miller Pleads Not Guilty In Federal Court While Federal Authority Terrifies In Minneapolis | In this gripping episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland, confront a week that forces an uncomfortable but urgent question: what happens when power escalates faster than accountability? First, Liz Farrell reports firsthand from the federal arraignment of JP Miller—an appearance marked not just by legal gravity, but by a visible public demand for accountability. What she witnessed was extraordinary: 52 U.S. Marshals on duty, federal prosecutors flooding the jury box, and bombshell revelations that paint JP as both a flight risk and danger to the community. Then through dual lenses of investigative journalism and constitutional law, our hosts unpack a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, interrogating how rapidly escalating law enforcement tactics collide with due process, civil rights, and public trust. This is not a partisan conversation. It’s a journalistic one. A legal one. And ultimately, a civic one. Because justice doesn’t survive on authority alone... it survives with scrutiny and accountability. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Walk for Peace Facebook Page ☸️🕉️ History of Qualified Immunity - National Association of Attorneys General ⚖️ 1983 Claim - Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute ⚖️ “Alpha News obtains new footage of ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis” - Alpha News, Jan 9, 2026 📰 “Attorney General Ellison and cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul sue to halt ICE surge into Minnesota” - MN Attorney General’s Office, Jan 12, 2026 📰 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

| 1/6/26 | COJ #162 - JP Miller’s Federal Arraignment And How He Could Be Paying For His Defense + Looking Ahead In 2026 | Cups Up to Season Four in 2026! Between stretches of absolutely nothing in West Texas and questionable taquito choices, Mandy Matney celebrates LUNASHARK’s new travel podcast "Wherever It Leads…"—because apparently investigating corruption wasn't enough of an adventure. Stay tuned for details on the premiere. Then Mandy, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland dive into serious updates: Russell Laffitte finally reported to federal prison on December 30th, Cory Fleming might be headed home to Beaufort in what seems like shenanigans, and JP Miller heads to his arraignment in federal court on January 12th. Then the team dives deeper into Lee Gilley's upcoming capital murder trial in Houston scheduled for February 23rd. Accused of strangling his pregnant wife Christa to death and killing their unborn child, Gilley has been booping about on bond—attending mega churches and allegedly dating—while Christa’s friends fight tirelessly for justice. The audacity is stunning, the hypocrisy infuriating, and the need for accountability is more dire than ever. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References Follow Mandy & David’s travel adventures on Facebook 🗺️ Learn more about Santa Fe, NM 🌵 JP Miller’s Federal Arraignment - Jan 12, 2025 📅 First Step Act of 2018 ⚖️ Justice for Christa on Facebook and Instagram 💜 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.
