Summary
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack a stunning South Carolina primary: Jermaine Johnson's grassroots gubernatorial win, Nancy Mace's fifth-place collapse, Lindsey Graham's surprising vulnerability, and the AG race that exposed how trial lawyers really profit. Is Dick Harpootlian's reign as ‘kingmaker’ finally over? Then the team turns to the courts: the shocking not-guilty verdict in the Rick Chow shooting, Netflix's rushed new Murdaugh "Insta-doc" recasting the Egg Lady juror as a victim, and what the soon-to-be-released juror files might (or might not) reveal. Plus, Judge Debbie McCaslin's appointment to the retrial raises fresh conflict questions, and attorney Desa Ballard's bizarre crusade against Mark Tinsley gets the scrutiny it deserves. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References “Judge stops $75 million South Carolina payment to private law firms for SRS settlement negotiations” - The Augusta Chronicle, Sept 30, 2020 📰 “South Carolina jury finds store owner not guilty of murder in killing of Black teen” - CNN, updated June 1, 2026 📰 Netflix’s “Instadocs: Alex Murdaugh, Unconvicted” 🎞️ Previous Episode: COJ 181 with Dr. Jermaine Johnson Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.
