Cup Of Justice COJ #160 - A Purple Christmas Gift To Mica Francis + Confronting Power, The Cost Of Truth, and Other Discovery Abuses
In this holiday edition, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell talk with attorney Eric Bland about their Festivus grievances and the ongoing legal harassment they face in the Beach v. Parker civil conspiracy case. Eric explains how unlimited budgets enable clients to weaponize discovery processes, while Mandy and Liz discuss their decision to speak publicly about Greg Parker's tactics rather than remain silent.
Plus, Mandy shares some observations from her eye-opening jury duty experience highlighting systemic inefficiencies and her encounters with familiar figures in the 14th Circuit.
Then we’re discussing newly revealed details from JP Miller's federal indictment for cyberstalking and lying to investigators—including the chilling allegation that he called Victim #1 (likely Mica Francis) over 50 times on March 11, 2024, how JP allegedly lied about slashing her tires and allegedly lied to federal investigators about local police instructing him to leave her alone.
Despite the frustrations, the team remains defiant, grateful for their community's support, and ready for the major trials and appeals ahead in 2026.
