COJ #55 - Team Murdaughs Jury-Tampering Lie Has Been Exposed + Are Certain Lawyers Untouchable?

Published: Nov. 14, 2023, 7 a.m.

The South Carolina Attorney General\u2019s Office blasts Alex Murdaugh\u2019s accusations of jury-tampering out of the water in an explosive new filing that leaves Team Murdaugh exposed. True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland \u2014 discuss what\u2019s next for the state prosecution and Judge Clifton Newman as Dick and Jim put it all on the line for a murderer. Plus, are some lawyers truly untouchable in the state of South Carolina? Also on the show, sexism and journalism and why it doesn\u2019t look the way you might expect.\n\nWe\u2019re going to start today\u2019s show off talking about what that looked like from Mandy and Liz\u2019s perspective in the newsroom and why sexism doesn\u2019t always play out the way you might expect it to. We think it\u2019s so important to give voice to this stuff not only because it feels good to vent about it with y\u2019all but because sometimes we think even our best allies don\u2019t always know what it looks like when it\u2019s happening.\n\nWe also dive in deep with the state\u2019s response last week to Team Murdaugh\u2019s motion for a new trial and what we think will happen next. We especially get vocal about how Dick and Jim\u2019s jury-tampering accusations are even more hollow than we thought they were.\n\nIn addition to that, our premium listeners will get to hear our conversation about how Dick and Jim have misled the media and seem to be willfully misleading the court by leaving out the context \u2026 and what can be done about that.
