COJ #162 - JP Miller’s Federal Arraignment And How He Could Be Paying For His Defense + Looking Ahead In 2026
Cup Of JusticeShow Notes
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.
