COJ #180 - A Tale of Two Subpoenas: Inside Mandy’s Civil Contempt Hearing + A Look At Alex Murdaugh’s Plan For New Trial
Cup Of JusticeShow Notes
On Friday, Mandy took the stand in York for a civil contempt hearing that, by any measure, never should have happened — while the co-defendants actually trying to depose Gregg Roman (the nucleus of the Parker conspiracy case) had to beg the judge to even hear their motion. The contrast is staggering.
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack what really went down in that courtroom: Meredith Bannon's surgical lawyering, Becky Lindahl's compelling missing-affidavit argument, the 6 year harassment campaign, a felon’s escalating behavior and the sea of supporters in pink who made the day bearable.
Then they turn to Wednesday's 5-0 Murdaugh murder conviction reversal — Becky Hill as the designated punching bag, Dick and Jim on the Today Show, and the privilege only a Murdaugh gets to enjoy.
