Summary

Last week marked the ninth anniversary of Stephen Smith’s death. Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — talk about Mandy and Liz’s latest reporting in the case and the biggest mystery that exists in the original investigation. Also on the show, Mandy is dismissed from the frivolous defamation case filed against her by a former University of South Carolina professor, who was accused in multiple sexual harassment cases. Plus, why Alex Murdaugh’s latest filing to the South Carolina Supreme Court is likely to go nowhere. And we talk about the Lauren Johansen case out of Tennessee and how utterly preventable her murder was. Premium Members get an extended discussion about the disturbing thing that happened to Eric on his birthday and whether it’s worth fighting back against people determined to make you miserable. Premium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts. CLICK HERE to learn more: https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE.
