True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell go down the rabbit hole on South Carolina Judge Casey Manning, who is perhaps most famously known for his role in the secret release of convicted murderer Jeroid Price, who remains on the run.Mandy and Liz break down a 2019 case involving the brutal murder of a South Carolina mom of five by her ex-boyfriend. Judge Manning’s behavior during the trial was reportedly so egregious and awful that it now threatens to overturn the man’s conviction.In sharing yet another example of South Carolina’s broken justice system, True Sunlight continues to bring attention to the world that created a monster like Alex Murdaugh. You’ll also hear a quick Stephen Smith update and plans for future cases.And since we need a break - we’re taking the week of July 4 OFF!! That means no Cup of Justice and No True Sunlight episodes next week. And if you want to go down a deep dive with us, we'll be sharing 500 pages of Jeroid Price's prison record with our LUNASHARK Premium members that we'll review with all premium members when we get back. And Starting July 1st, Premium Members will be able to visit lunasharkmedia.com to get access to searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts - all in one place. I’m so excited about this and so thankful for the members who support us and are helping us rekindle a love of journalism for so many.

Welcome to the new face of MMP. True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over access journalism. True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on Alex Murdaugh and his web of misdeeds. The U.S. Attorney’s Office’s decision to indict Alex Murdaugh and his (former?) best friend and alleged co-conspirator Cory Fleming this week raises more questions. Will Alex get to spend the rest of his two life sentences in “Club Fed”? Will Cory’s expected plea deal result in more big names getting exposed in this unprecedented web of deception? True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at the latest twists in this never-ending story of crime and corruption.Consider joining our Luna Shark Premium Membership community to help us SHINE THE SUNLIGHT!

This is the last episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast created by Mandy Matney, written with journalist Liz Farrell and produced by David Moses... but don’t freak out! We are simply changing the name of the podcast next week while the mission stays the same.The podcast will ONLY get better from here — with more stories to cover, more journalists to work with, and WOO, more time to do these podcasts. This podcast has been much more than work for our whole team in the past two years. So for this episode, before we start tackling other complicated cases, we want to take some time to reflect on the last two years. To remember the good, bad, ugly and straight up strange things we have revealed on MMP. To remember where we started, how far we’ve come. To remind everyone that if we can do this, you can do it too. As the Murdaugh Murders Podcast team looks toward a very bright future of shining a light on corruption, co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell reflect on the past two years of uncovering the truth in the dark underworld of Alex Murdaugh. The battle for justice is ongoing but being pesky paid off. In this episode, Mandy and Liz go behind-the-scenes and share the best, biggest and funniest moments of the podcast and the many surprises they encountered along the way.Consider joining our MMP Premium Membership community to help us SHINE THE SUNLIGHT!

On Tuesday, about 100 people gathered at the South Carolina statehouse to talk about something really important — victims and how they are often pushed aside in our justice system. Murdaugh Murders Podcast host Mandy Matney and other victims advocates in South Carolina rallied on the Statehouse steps this week, calling for meaningful change at the legislative level. Victims of violent crime — and victims of Alex Murdaugh — have had enough of this system, which continues to ignore and harm them.In this episode, Mandy Matney and Co-Host Liz Farrell talk about victims rights, the need for judicial reform and how to solve the problem with legislator-lawyers.You can watch a full version of the rally here: https://fb.watch/ks53RmDmYl/ - And learn more about SC Bill 4183 Here: https://bit.ly/3BhM9NB Soak Up The Sun MMP Premium Members were able to reconvene as we broadcast today's hearing live and we'll share another link soon with complete audio.

Only one person alive knows what really happened to Gloria Satterfield the day she was found bleeding from the head at Moselle in February 2018. And we all know who that is... Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell unwind the latest filing from Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys in which the convicted murderer now admits to lying about how Gloria Satterfield died. Also on the show: the boat crash case starts heating up and Dick and Jim beg the court for money. On Tuesday May 9, Sandy Smith and I will be speaking among several special guests at the Victims Matter Rally at the Statehouse in Columbia South Carolina. As we have talked about time and time again on this podcast, our justice system so often prioritizes the privileged and fails victims of violent crime. And too many of our lawmakers are working for the bad guys. As we are working on expanding our reach to focus on cases across the nation and maybe eventually the world where Crime Meets Corruption — we want to ensure that the pressure continues right here at home in South Carolina. We hope to see you at the SC Statehouse on Tuesday... and let's get into it...Soak Up The Sun MMP Premium Members were able to reconvene as we broadcast today's hearing live and we'll share another link soon with complete audio.
