COJ #67 - What’s Next For Alex Murdaugh After Retrial Denied + An Update On Stephen Smith

On the one-year anniversary as a Cup of Justice team, Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland reflect on the continued success of the show and why judges, politicians and lawyers have been hanging on their every word. Now that they’ve had a week without the constant distraction of breaking news in the Alex Murdaugh story, the three talk about Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin’s efforts to save face, why people claiming that Justice Jean Toal has helped the defense are plain wrong, and how one Washington Post columnist’s claims that Becky Hill is guilty of jury tampering are so far off base. Plus Premium members will get a special segment on how Dick Harpootlian has some steep competition this year for the District 26 Senate seat. In other news, Mandy is excited to go back to Columbia South Carolina as we celebrate justice at the Capital City Club Columbia, SC to bring a special evening event you won’t want to miss!
