Summary
After five amazing years in the fray together and 188 episodes, Eric Bland is stepping back from his role as Cup of Justice co-host — but don't call it goodbye. In this heartfelt and candid farewell, Eric explains his decision to refocus on his law practice, his public speaking career, and — most critically — his role as a legal advocate for Mandy as she navigates ongoing harassment and an outrageous sanction that denied her due process at every turn. Together, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack the broken system that's allowed a convicted felon to weaponize the ODC against lawyers, and they celebrate the incredible journey that took them from late-night phone calls about the Murdaugh’s financial crimes to back stage and on the mic with Sheryl Crow, and too many good times to count. Cups down for now — but the fight is far from over. ⚖️ ☀️ Join LUNASHARK Premium: https://www.patreon.com/c/lunashark Support Our Legal Defense GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-journalist-mandy-matney-fight-176500-contempt-order Or support our reporting: https://lunashark.supercast.com/donations/new ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Lawyers & Judges: Send legal suggestions or offers for Pro Hac / Pro Bono representation to [email protected] Episode References EB’s Farewell Announcement 🌐 Weatherford v Price Order - June 5, 2000 ⚖️ Beth Braden’s FB post on John Monk & The State’s reporting 🌐 Previous Episode: COJ 25 with Sheryl Crow 🎧 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.
