Eric discusses twelve ODC complaints from a convicted felon and a looming all-day interview about his conduct from Murdaugh-related complaints filed by Parkers attorneys and Dick Harpootlian… from as early as 2021! The team also takes a hard look at what the ODC actually is, who it protects, and who it's used against. Mandy breaks down why she's fighting her deposition subpoena in the Parker civil conspiracy case tooth and nail, what it means that Liz sat for eight hours and it still wasn't enough, and why Mandy may ultimately decide to sit — on her own terms.
