For the past three days, Mandy and Liz have been watching the Stand Your Ground immunity hearing in the Scott Spivey Shooting case — along with thousands of True Sunlight fans. Watch Friday's hearing with LUNASHARK Premium Members, or watch on Facebook or YouTube. Weldon and Bradley say they killed Scott in self-defense. But as Spivey attorney Mark Tinsley said in his opening statements this week... he’s never heard of a road rage case where the innocent party chases the aggressor for 9 miles at excessively high rates of speed. Testimony has been explosive and the defense has so far put forth a contradictory and thinly threaded case. Which only got worse on Day Three when Weldon Boyd himself took the stand...

| 2/12/26 | TSP #136 - The Alex Murdaugh Circus Is Back In Town (Again) as Dick and Jim Argue for New Murder Trial (Again!) | Will Alex Murdaugh get his murder convictions overturned? Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell recap everything that went down Wednesday when Team Murdaugh and state prosecutor Creighton Waters argued their cases for and against a new murder trial in front of the South Carolina Supreme Court. Despite a performance that can only be described as legally underwhelming, Alex Murdaugh may be closer than ever to getting a new murder trial. To the surprise of no one, Dick Harpootlian used his time in front of the justices to do some good ole boy flirting, telling stories about himself and… Aaron Burr…? Mandy and Liz dig into the systemic rot underneath the theatrics: the two-tiered justice system that keeps men like Alex Murdaugh in the game, the media's troubling tendency to smooth the jagged edges of truth, and why a new trial would have absolutely nothing to do with innocence and everything to do with power, ego, and money.

| 2/5/26 | TSP #135 - State Grand Jury Impaneled in Scott Spivey Case And Can SC Trust AG Alan Wilson Not to Interfere? | Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell provide context around the announcement that Prosecutor Barry Barnette impaneled a state grand jury surrounding events of Scott Spivey’s 2023 killing... and alleged police coverup. On today’s episode Mandy and Liz explore Alan Wilson’s motivations in deciding to not initially prosecute Spivey’s killers and whether he can be trusted not to interfere with Barnette’s decisions. Also on the show, former South Carolina legislator and current pedophile RJ May is appealing his 17-year sentence for distributing child sexual abuse material. May — who pleaded guilty as part of a plea agreement — is claiming ineffective assistance of counsel… another good ole boy who refuses to face consequences and has no problem spending taxpayer money doing so.

| 1/29/26 | TSP #134 - The False Promise of Protection: How Does AG Alan Wilson Determine Stand Your Ground? + Who Failed Charity Beallis? | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell look at how Boyd and Williams’ claims of self-defense compare to that of Anijah Yarnell. Yarnell killed a man in 2020 which the court determined was a justified Stand Your Ground shooting in 2023 and the state is appealing that decision. It seems Attorney General Alan Wilson has two different ways of determining “who” qualifies for Stand Your Ground immunity … and it seems to have nothing to do with the evidence and EVERYTHING to do with who the shooters are. Also on today’s show, we continue our investigation of the shooting homicides of Charity Beallis and her two 5-year old twins in Bonanza, Arkansas. No arrests have been made and multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service are working on the case. While Charity’s husband Randy Beallis denies any wrong doing, we’re diving deeper into Randy’s past that reveals an allegedly violent history. A history that prosecutors acknowledged when they offered him a sweetheart deal for choking Charity in 2025. Two months after that plea deal… Charity and the twins were dead. 🦈 Lot’s to cover… Let’s Dive in… 🥽 Episode Links Petition to Urge SC Attorney General to PRIORITIZE the Re-Indictment of Michael Colucci ✍️ “Court rules man charged in deadly shooting near Surfside Beach acted in self-defense” - WBTW, Updated April 7, 2023 📰 SC Code of Laws - Article 6 Protection of Persons and Property Act aka Castle Doctrine aka Stand Your Ground ⚖️ Sunlight on Scott Spivey Spotify Playlist 🎧 Referenced Episodes: TSP 131 & 132 🎧 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Learn more about LUNASHARK Premium Membership at lunashark.supercast.com to get bonus episodes like our Premium Dives, Wherever It Leads..., Girl Talk, and Soundbites that help you Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight Support Our Show, Sponsors and Mission: https://lunasharkmedia.com/support/ Quince - Hungry Root - Bombas https://amzn.to/4cJ0eVn *** ALERT: If you ever notice audio errors in the pod, email info@lunasharkmedia.com and we'll send fun merch to the first listener that finds something that needs to be adjusted! *** For current & accurate updates: lunashark.supercast.com Instagram.com/mandy_matney | Instagram.com/elizfarrell bsky.app/profile/mandy-matney.com | bsky.app/profile/elizfarrell.com TrueSunlight.com facebook.com/TrueSunlightPodcast/ Instagram.com/TrueSunlightPod youtube.com/@LunaSharkMedia tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia Learn more about your ad choices.

| 1/22/26 | TSP #133 - Bombshell Testimony in Scott Spivey Case: Did Weldon Boyd’s Attorney Really Try to Coerce a Witness? | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell uncover explosive testimony that tears Weldon Boyd's self-defense narrative to shreds. In newly released depositions from the Scott Spivey wrongful death case, Witness No. 2 reveals disturbing allegations that Weldon Boyd's attorney may have attempted to coerce witness testimony—raising serious questions about just how far the Good Ole Boy network will go to protect one of their own. We’re also looking at how Dr. Randy Beallis’ second wife died from a gunshot wound to the forehead. Now his third wife, Charity, and their six-year-old twins are murdered the day after their final divorce hearing. The Sebastian County, Arkansas investigation raises disturbing questions: Why isn't Randy the prime suspect? Plus updates on JP Miller's federal trial scheduled for March 2026, Alex Murdaugh's upcoming Supreme Court hearing in February, and the crucial Stand Your Ground hearing in the Scott Spivey case set for February 17-20.

| 1/15/26 | TSP #132 - Feds In SC Bring Good Heat On The Good Ole Boys: JP Miller Arraigned + Pedo RJ May Sentenced | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are celebrating two big moments of accountability for two of the worst men in South Carolina… On Monday, “Pastor” Churchy Business bro John-Paul Miller had to face a federal judge in Florence to plead “not guilty” to a single felony charge of cyberstalking his wife Mica Francis for a year and a half before her death … as well as a single count of lying to federal investigators about the extent of his stalking. The judge set JP’s unsecured bond at $100K and ordered him to be tracked via a GPS ankle monitor because he’s considered a flight risk. Two days after JP’s hearing, Mandy and Liz were keeping tabs on another federal case involving one of South Carolina's worst men, former statehouse representative and admitted pedophile RJ May, who was sentenced to 17 and a half years for distributing child sexual abuse materials.

| 1/8/26 | TSP #131 - JP Miller (Finally) Heads to Federal Court + the Chilling Lethality Assessment Charity Beallis Had Before Her Murder | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are ready to celebrate as Myrtle Beach “Pastor” John-Paul Miller is finally going to federal court on Jan. 12 in Florence, South Carolina. He’ll be arraigned on two charges related to why his estranged wife, Mica, allegedly killed herself in April 2024. Plus, Mandy and Liz begin peeling back the layers on the Charity Beallis case in Bonanza, Arkansas. Charity, who was 40, was found shot to death in December 2025 alongside the bodies of her 6-year-old twins in their house the DAY AFTER her final divorce hearing. No suspects have been named yet and her soon-to-be ex-husband, Dr. Randall Beallis, has denied having anything to do with their deaths. The investigation includes six law enforcement agencies, including the United States Secret Service and Homeland Security Investigations, but little information has been given to the public on the status of the case. In the meantime, there’s plenty to discuss … especially when it comes to Randall and his dark past. 🦈 Let’s Dive in 🥽 Episode Links List of Upcoming Events including JP Miller’s Federal Arraignment on Jan 12, 2026 📆 Keep up with the latest with Justice for Christa on Facebook and Instagram 💜 Regina Ward’s Jan 5, 2026 TikTok Video 🌐 Journalist Doug Warner’s Dec 8, 2025 Facebook Post 🌐 Information on Laura’s Law ⚖️ “This Is How A Domestic Violence Victim Falls Through The Cracks” - June 16, 2014, HuffPost 📰 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Support Our Show, Sponsors and Mission: https://lunasharkmedia.com/support/ Quince - Hungry Root - Bombas https://amzn.to/4cJ0eVn *** ALERT: If you ever notice audio errors in the pod, email info@lunasharkmedia.com and we'll send fun merch to the first listener that finds something that needs to be adjusted! *** For current & accurate updates: lunashark.supercast.com Instagram.com/mandy_matney | Instagram.com/elizfarrell bsky.app/profile/mandy-matney.com | bsky.app/profile/elizfarrell.com TrueSunlight.com facebook.com/TrueSunlightPodcast/ Instagram.com/TrueSunlightPod youtube.com/@LunaSharkMedia tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia Learn more about your ad choices.

| 1/1/26 | TSP #130 - The ‘Early Release’ of Cory Fleming + A New Dawn Rises in 2026: Looking Back at Victories and Ongoing Battles from 2025 | Happy New Year! As 2025 comes to a close, the team looks back on the stories from the True Sunlight Podcast that defined the year, and the systems that made them possible. In this special year-end episode, Mandy provides an update on Cory Fleming’s ‘Early Release’ and LUNASHARK's digital librarian Kate Thomas takes listeners on a journey through twelve audio clips, one from each month, highlighting the investigations, interviews, and turning points that shaped LUNASHARK's work in 2025. From Pastor JP Miller's lawsuit warfare and eventual federal indictment, to the corruption exposed in Scott Spivey's killing, to Karl Stoller's silencing in the Bowen Turner case—this episode traces the patterns of corruption, the protection of powerful men, and the systemic failures that continue to plague America’s justice systems. But we also celebrate the wins: Lee Gilley's indictment in Texas, the charging of former Deputy Billy Squires, the federal cyberstalking charges brought against JP Miller, and federal Child Sexual Abuse Material charges for former SC state rep RJ May and former long-time magistrate judge James Gosnell. Gosnell has pleaded not guilty. This isn't just a recap—it's a reminder of why sunlight matters, why this work must continue, and why your support makes accountability possible. As we look toward 2026, one truth remains clear: the work is far from over, but together, we're making a difference…. And That Is A Big Deal! ** after recording this episode, Russell Laffitte reported to Federal Correctional Institution Jesup on 12/30/2025. 🦈 Let’s Dive in 🥽 Episode References Judge Richard Gergel at Dick Harpootlian’s book signing - Facebook, Dec 18, 2025 📸 First Step Act of 2018 ⚖️ Links to Episodes: TSP 84, TSP 89, TSP 92, TSP 95, TSP 98, TSP 104, TSP 107, TSP 110, TSP 117, TSP 121, TSP 123, TSP 128 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Support Our Show, Sponsors and Mission: https://lunasharkmedia.com/support/ Quince - Hungry Root - Bombas https://amzn.to/4cJ0eVn *** ALERT: If you ever notice audio errors in the pod, email info@lunasharkmedia.com and we'll send fun merch to the first listener that finds something that needs to be adjusted! *** For current & accurate updates: lunashark.supercast.com Instagram.com/mandy_matney | Instagram.com/elizfarrell bsky.app/profile/mandy-matney.com | bsky.app/profile/elizfarrell.com TrueSunlight.com facebook.com/TrueSunlightPodcast/ Instagram.com/TrueSunlightPod youtube.com/@LunaSharkMedia tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia Learn more about your ad choices.

Mandy reflects on the question that led to her dismissal as a juror… whether legitimate reasons exist to not stop for police lights, diving deep into the dangers of police pursuits and the corruption she's witnessed firsthand covering Low Country law enforcement. Then Mandy and Liz Farrell dive deep into how Horry County Police Department potentially planted a bag of steroids in Scott's truck to support Weldon Boyd's narrative that Scott was a "drug crazed, raging out of control maniac." And finally we’re expressing deep gratitude for the True Sunlight community—whose support helps hold public agencies and good ol boys accountable. We’re making the world a little brighter, one investigation at a time. So much to cover, so let’s dive in! 🥽🦈 Playlist link: https://staypes.ky/micafrancis Join the LUNASHARK® Premium Community and support independent journalism!

| 12/18/25 | TSP #128 - JP Miller (Finally) Federally Indicted & What This Means For The Justice For Mica Movement | For almost 20 months, investigative journalists Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Beth Braden have covered the Mica Francis case. They’ve filed dozens of Freedom of Information Act requests, listened to hours of recordings, gone through stacks of police reports, court documents, transcripts and text messages to piece together what the final months, weeks and days of Mica’s life looked like as she tried to extricate herself from her husband, “Pastor” John Paul Miller. On April 27, 2024 — the day Mica killed herself in a remote part of a North Carolina swamp — JP was the leader of Solid Rock Ministries in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where he had built, destroyed and rebuilt his megachurch all while, according to records and accusations made by family, friends and former church members, using his position of power and his so-called connection to God to bully, harass and torment his young wife, Mica — all the while denying wrongdoing and escaping accountability. On Dec. 18, 2025, the United States Government announced that JP Miller (finally) was going to be held accountable for his alleged actions against Mica, who investigators say killed herself as a result of JP’s threats and abuse. He has been charged with one count of cyberstalking for his alleged actions between Nov. 16, 2022 and the day of Mica’s death and one count of lying to federal investigators. Today we’re enjoying vindication and a day of celebration that Mandy and Liz hope will have more people talking about the effects of coercive control abuse.

| 12/11/25 | TSP #127 - “Just Being Friendly" and Other Lies Men Tell Featuring: Green Shirt Guy, Randy Webster and Alan Wilson | Over the past few weeks investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have had to fight for every breath they’ve taken on account of the stress from gas station guy Greg Parker, Mark C. Moore and Debbie Barbier’s constant legal bullying and harassment. (3:30) First up on the show, the "Green Shirt Guy" Brian Stahlheber—who was charged in the unhinged Squiresgate incident on Hilton Head this past September—has filed the whiniest 18-page motion for a speedy trial imaginable, complete with a cartoon about TikTok followers preventing justice. We wish we were kidding. (27:15) Meanwhile, Horry County officials scrambled to scrub former Public Safety Director Randy Webster's name from a $24 million building after sexual harassment allegations surfaced. Randy's defense to HR? He was "just being friendly." Liz and Mandy go through Randy’s statement to HR on Oct. 17, the same day he abruptly decided to leave his position. And it is everything that is wrong with certain men when it comes to the workplace. But the real outrage? (51:00) South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson broke his own policy against commenting on ongoing investigations to go on his cousin's podcast and spew nonsense about the Scott Spivey case. (01:03:00) Plus: "Pastor" JP Miller calls the cops again (shocking!) over signs, and his father gets arrested instead.

| 12/4/25 | TSP #126 - Final chapter of the Boat Crash Case? Attorneys Launch “Lawfare” Campaign Against Journalists Who Exposed Alex Murdaugh | Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have endured a lot during the nearly seven years they’ve covered the Murdaugh family but NOTHING like what they’re experiencing now. Shortly after Mallory Beach's death, Mallory’s family filed a lawsuit in search of justice and accountability and an assurance that Parker’s Kitchen would shore up the training of their cashiers when it comes to the sale of alcohol to minors. Instead of seeking to settle the case, Parker’s Kitchen, Greg Parker and their legal team appear to have embarked down a very dark path, engaging two political operatives — one known for “mischief-making” and the other known for harassment campaigns against individuals — to help lessen their liability in the case. Which brings us to the past six months, during which Greg Parker’s attorneys have used mischaracterizations and unsupported theories to turn their focus on Mandy and Liz in an effort to silence them and their coverage of the case(s)… So much to cover, so let’s dive in! 🥽🦈 Episode References Meet Meredith Bannon and Becky Lindahl ⭐️ Rules for Professional Conduct - Rule 41.2 ⚖️ “Kobe Bryant family settles the helicopter crash photos lawsuit for $28.5 million” - NPR, March 1, 2023 📰 “Marco Rubio’s ‘Knife Fighters’” - Buzzfeed News, Oct 25, 2015 📰 “A Convenience-Store Magnate, Teen Drinking and a Fatal Boat Crash: The Legal Case Shaking South Carolina” - WSJ, Aug 13, 2022 📰 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Learn more about Premium Membership at lunashark.supercast.com to get bonus episodes like our Premium Dives, Corruption Watchlist, Girl Talk, and Soundbites that help you Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight Support Our Show, Sponsors and Mission: https://lunasharkmedia.com/support/ Quince - Hungry Root - Bombas https://amzn.to/4cJ0eVn *** ALERT: If you ever notice audio errors in the pod, email info@lunasharkmedia.com and we'll send fun merch to the first listener that finds something that needs to be adjusted! *** For current & accurate updates: lunashark.supercast.com Instagram.com/mandy_matney | Instagram.com/elizfarrell bsky.app/profile/mandy-matney.com | bsky.app/profile/elizfarrell.com TrueSunlight.com facebook.com/TrueSunlightPodcast/ Instagram.com/TrueSunlightPod youtube.com/@LunaSharkMedia tiktok.com/@lunasharkmedia Learn more about your ad choices.
