Season 3 Episode 153
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland dress up for Huluween on this jam-packed episode - and you can see the video version of COJ Cinema on your LUNASHARK Premium dashboard later this week.
We unpack a wild week of contradictions in South Carolina’s justice system — from the Murdaugh: Death in the Family series’ chilling portrayal of Alex Murdaugh’s unraveling, to the shocking arrest of Beaufort County deputy Billy Squires, caught on video holding four teens at gunpoint, to the ugliest of fat cats suckling at the taxpayer trough for frivolous investigations.
The conversation first touches on the emotional aftermath of Murdaugh: Death in the Family and Patricia Arquette’s nuanced portrayal of Maggie Murdaugh, revealing how addiction, control, and silence intersected in the family’s downfall.
The team discusses how privilege continues to shape accountability in the Lowcountry — how law enforcement officers are “held to a higher standard” only when it benefits them.
And finally, we’re shining a light on one of the biggest threats to our state’s fiscal security… lawyers like Mark Moore gobbling up HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of taxpayer dollars for fishing expeditions with little to no actionable results... (in Producer David Moses' opinion)
