On today's 93rd Cup of Justice episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell \u2014 and everyone\u2019s favorite attorney Eric Bland \u2014 discuss the federal government\u2019s response to Alex Murdaugh\u2019s effort to appeal his 40-year sentence in the financial crimes.\xa0\n\nIt seems like all the T\u2019s were crossed and all the I\u2019s dotted in Alex\u2019s sentencing hearing, which means his sentence has very little chance of being overturned. So what\u2019s going on? Is Alex Murdaugh finally preparing to turn on his team and claim ineffective assistance of counsel by Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin?\xa0\n\nAlso on the show, a viral video of an alligator walking in Tropical Storm Debby on Hilton Head Island resurrects a still-unanswered question: Why is Judge Carmen Mullen still on the bench? Why have we heard nothing about the disciplinary complaints filed against her? Plus the 124-page report from the investigation into the Marion, Kansas, police raid on a small-town newspaper sets a new standard for how government agencies SHOULD be communicating with the public to help establish trust.\xa0\n\nLet's get into it....\n\nEPISODE RESOURCES:\nMoose Rini's Alligator video on Twitter\xa0\nMMP Episode 65 Audio Link\xa0- 'Judge Mullen Is Wanting To Make Stuff Up'\nMMP Episode 33 Audio Link\xa0- Incoming Call From Alex Murdaugh...
