COJ #61 - What to Know About Justice Jean Toal + Becky Hill’s Email Dump

True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and everyone’s favorite attorney Eric Bland discuss what they expect to see now that Justice Jean Toal has been assigned to hear Alex Murdaugh’s motion for a new trial. Is her assignment a win for Team Murdaugh? Or will justice prevail? Plus, the three talk about what was revealed when Colleton County released a year’s worth of Clerk of Court Becky Hill’s emails — including the frustrating revelation that Becky was behind two petty lies being spread by trolls. Today we focused on the appointment of Justice Jean Toal to hear Alex Murdaugh’s motion for a new trial. Eric shares his personal experiences with Justice Toal, plus we share what our sources have been telling us about what her appointment might mean and what we can expect to see in the next two months. Also in the episode we talk about the reckless publication of more than 2,000 emails from Becky County email address and some of the chaos that this has caused.  On this episode, Premium Members get insight into common consequences (or lack there of) for ethics violations in South Carolina and how the most recent data dump caused cruel harassment of a special needs adult that happens to be a dear friend of this show and our hosts. Join Luna Shark Premium today at Lunashark.Supercast.com.
