Mandy Matney, Eric Bland and Liz Farrell talk about lessons learned at the recent victims\u2019 rally in Columbia, South Carolina; the latest ruling against Alex Murdaugh and his attempts to take money away from victims; and the problems with legislator-attorneys.\nIn today's episode we dive deeper into a topic that\u2019s always on our mind: Victims' rights.\nAnd not just victims\u2019 rights but how our Justice system treats victims across the board.\xa0Which is not good.\xa0\nOver the past few years, we've heard story after story about how victims have been disregarded, not listened to and flat out ignored.\xa0\nIt\u2019s disheartening and it needs to change.\xa0\nEric and Mandy were recently at the annual Victims Rally on the Statehouse steps. It was yet another reminder of how important it is that we all work together, make more noise about the things we see that are wrong and do everything we can to empower victims.\xa0\nWithout victim empowerment, the system doesn\u2019t stand a chance at changing.\xa0\nNow, let\u2019s get into it \u2026\n\n\nFind us on social media:\nTwitter.com/mandymatney - Twitter.com/elizfarrell - Twitter.com/theericbland\nhttps://www.facebook.com/cupofjustice/\nYouTube\n \n\nPlease consider sharing your support by leaving a review on Apple at the following link: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cup-of-justice/id1668668400\n*The views expressed on the Cup of Justice bonus episodes do not constitute legal advice.
