Show Notes
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and Attorney Eric Bland discuss Mandy’s deposition that wasn’t on Friday.
Mark Moore screamed. The Wi-Fi cut out. Greg Parker Zoomed in from some oddly decorated office with Debbie Barbier. And Mandy Matney sat 2,000 feet away from Moore at a secure location — armed guard protecting everyone, lemon pound cake on the table — waiting for a deposition that never happened.
This week, Mandy breaks down the Friday standoff in full: why safety wasn’t a preference but a requirement, how a convicted felon appeared to be receiving real-time information about the proceedings, and what it means that Parker’s team refused to walk down the street or depose Mandy via zoom. Liz shares her own deposition experience in Baltimore — including the irony of spotting the Baker Donaldson location where they harassed her for 8 hours — and Eric Bland unpacks the legal landscape for non-party witnesses.
Notably, Judge Kelly’s order denying Mandy's emergency motion requesting the court decide on the location — signed Friday but not filed until later Monday — left the location dispute without any final ruling, meaning the fight is far from over.
