Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, and attorney Eric Bland — talk about Bowen Turner’s return to jail after allegedly day-drinking at a public golf course last week. South Carolina’s thrice-accused rapist — and the crowned prince of trying to buy his way out of accountability — is once again being accused of violating the terms of parole … and breaking yet another promise to a justice system that continues to reward him with just one more chance. 

How many more times will we all be forced to talk about Bowen? When will there be accountability for those who gave him the sweetheart plea deal? And what do his prison calls tell us about his parents? 

Also on the show, lawmakers refuse to elect a qualified woman to a judgeship. Why is that? We think we know … 

Plus, Mandy, Liz and Eric share their thoughts about Congresswoman Nancy Mace’s unprecedented speech on the floor of the US House of Representatives in DC last week accusing four men of sex trafficking, making secret video recordings and raping her, along with other unconscious women.
