Today,\xa0Cup of Justice\xa0Co-Hosts\xa0Mandy Matney,\xa0Liz Farrell\xa0and\xa0Eric Bland\xa0\u2014 take a look at the South Carolina Supreme Court\u2019s decision to hear Alex Murdaugh\u2019s appeal in his quest for a new murder trial. The headlines say this is a BIG DEAL and a major win for Alex, but is that true? What does it mean that the Supreme Court is allowing him the opportunity to skip the line in his appeal? Is it a sign they\u2019re ready to let him start over? Or is it their way of hastening the inevitable and sending Alex on his merry way to federal court?\xa0\nMandy, Liz and Eric explore the answers to those questions plus whether they think the state AG\u2019s Office could survive a Remmer hearing in this case.\xa0\nAlso on the show, the Horry County Police Department and Myrtle Beach Police Department appear to be holding back in their responses to Luna Shark's Freedom of Information Act requests in the Mica Francis case. What do we think is happening here? And what legal action should be taken? Eric explains the options.\xa0\nPlus, Mica Francis\u2019 multiple calls to police in which she accused her estranged husband \u2014 Pastor JP MIller \u2014 of taking her notary public embosser and expressing fears that he was going to forge her name on documents \u2026 that was an even bigger deal than we previously thought.
