Cup Of Justice – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, and attorney Eric Bland — talk about Bowen Turner’s return to jail after allegedly day-drinking at a public golf course last week. South Carolina’s thrice-accused rapist — and the crowned prince of trying to buy his way out of accountability — is once again being accused of violating the terms of parole … and breaking yet another promise to a justice system that continues to reward him with just one more chance.  How many more times will we all be forced to talk about Bowen? When will there be accountability for those who gave him the sweetheart plea deal? And what do his prison calls tell us about his parents?  Also on the show, lawmakers refuse to elect a qualified woman to a judgeship. Why is that? We think we know …  Plus, Mandy, Liz and Eric share their thoughts about Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s unprecedented speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives in DC last week accusing four men of sex trafficking, making secret video recordings and raping her, along with other unconscious women.  Tri-County S.P.E.A.K.S. & How to Donate to the Center ☕ Cup's Up! ⚖️ Episode Resources “SC agents arrest Orangeburg man for alleged violations of conditional release” - Live5 WCSC, Feb 13, 2025 TSP #71 - “Top 10 Systemic Failures That Benefited Bowen Turner . . . “ “SC legislature rejects candidate for York County judge after Republicans opposed her” - The Herald, Feb 5, 2025 “Mace makes allegations of sexual abuse against multiple men from the House floor” - CNN, Feb 11, 2025 Overview of Speech or Debate Clause “Nancy Mace says her victim tip line was flooded with calls.

Get ready for a jam-packed episode where we dive deep into the ridiculous, the infuriating, and the downright fascinating! This week, we're covering it all, from the bizarre energy of the Super Bowl to the petty world of legal filings and everything in between. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, and attorney Eric Bland — talk about the latest filing from Alex Murdaugh’s twice-alleged co-conspirator Russell Laffitte as he seeks a jury pool that goes beyond the Lowcountry. Turns out the big doofus doesn’t like being called a “doofus” … or a “cockroach.” At least not by Mandy and Liz.  Russell’s attorney Mark Moore finally got the opportunity to flex his petty muscle as he unloaded years of pent-up rage into what Eric says might be a $25,000 motion — once you account for all the time Team Doofus spent listening to Cup of Justice and True Sunlight podcast and scrolling through Mandy’s, Liz’s and Eric’s social media.  But the last laugh is — as always — on Team Doofus. There is no bigger compliment to pay than seeing your jokes about the Murdaugh villains appear in a federal court filing. Also on the show, the latest in JP Miller’s frivolous lawsuit scheme. ☕ Cup's Up! ⚖️ Episode Resources Serena Williams’ Instagram Post about Super Bowl Halftime Show “Taylor Swift ‘feels used’ by Blake Lively, wishes actress didn’t drag her into Justin Baldoni lawsuit” - Page Six, Feb 6, 2025 “Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Rocky Relationship Explained” - Billboard, Feb 10, 2025 Russell TV Episodes Mandy’s Doofus Tweet - Nov 14, 2024 Liz’s Cockroach Tweet - Aug 11, 2023 “Alleged Murdaugh accomplice Laffitte requests statewide jury selection or change of venue” - Greenville News, Feb 5, 2025 “Former Myrtle Beach lawyer Brunty pleads guilty to conspiracy charge” - The Island Packet, June 16, 2014 Beth Braden’s FB Post about JP Miller’s Magistrate Court Lawsuits - Jan 31, 2025 Premium Resources Russell Laffitte’s Motion for District-Wide Jury Panel - Feb 3, 2025 Sam Rickman’s Counterclaim - Jan 27, 2025 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.
