The South Carolina Attorney General’s Office blasts Alex Murdaugh’s accusations of jury-tampering out of the water in an explosive new filing that leaves Team Murdaugh exposed. True Sunlight Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — discuss what’s next for the state prosecution and Judge Clifton Newman as Dick and Jim put it all on the line for a murderer. Plus, are some lawyers truly untouchable in the state of South Carolina? Also on the show, sexism and journalism and why it doesn’t look the way you might expect.
We’re going to start today’s show off talking about what that looked like from Mandy and Liz’s perspective in the newsroom and why sexism doesn’t always play out the way you might expect it to. We think it’s so important to give voice to this stuff not only because it feels good to vent about it with y’all but because sometimes we think even our best allies don’t always know what it looks like when it’s happening.
We also dive in deep with the state’s response last week to Team Murdaugh’s motion for a new trial and what we think will happen next. We especially get vocal about how Dick and Jim’s jury-tampering accusations are even more hollow than we thought they were.
In addition to that, our premium listeners will get to hear our conversation about how Dick and Jim have misled the media and seem to be willfully misleading the court by leaving out the context … and what can be done about that.
