TSP #158 [Part Two] - South Carolina’s Warning To Whistleblowers + What’s Happening In the Alex Murdaugh v Becky Hill Lawsuit?
from True Sunlight · host LUNASHARK®
Part Two of Two South Carolina fined journalist Mandy Matney $5,000 to “deter similar conduct in the future and promote respect for the law.” It fined Cory Fleming, $0. Becky Hill, $0. Alex Murdaugh — who stole more than $12 million from grieving clients — $0. Mandy opens Part Two of Episode 158 by laying that math out plainly, and asking what message it sends to every whistleblower in the state trying to change its broken systems. Then journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell turn to Murdaugh v. Hill, the federal suit in which Alex demands at least $600,000 from the former clerk of court for what his lawyers call “criminal jury tampering” — a charge prosecutors declined to bring, because the jurors telling the story couldn’t keep it straight. Plus: Becky’s motion to dismiss, Phil Barber’s savage briefs, another sealed discovery order, and why a sourdough starter metaphor explains this entire mess.
