Back to EpisodesCOJ #175 - Between Safety and Silence… We Choose Sunlight + Greg Parker Bets It All On ‘Depose, Deny, Defend’
Description
LUNASHARK® Producer David Moses walks Journalist Liz Farrell and Attorney Eric Bland through the events leading up to Mandy's attempted deposition in Beach v. Parker — a civil conspiracy lawsuit alleging Greg Parker intentionally inflicted emotional distress on the Beach family to avoid accountability in a wrongful death case ultimately settled for over $15 million in July 2023. If awarded, treble damages in this new case could personally cost Greg Parker another estimated $30 - $65 million dollars. To silence Mandy's coverage, Greg Parker demanded she be jailed for contempt. So stakes are high, but are ethics?
David details the March 27th deposition standoff and an allegedly coordinated harassment campaign involving a convicted felon on federal probation whose behavior grows increasingly alarming, while Liz delivers a powerful, unflinching account of how five years of targeted intimidation have reshaped Mandy's daily life.
Eric reminds everyone what Parker's attorneys seem desperate to avoid: Mark Tinsley will eat Greg Parker alive on the stand if he gets the chance — and trial is set for August. 🐅 ⛽ 💰
