Summary

True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell go down a new rabbit hole that leads them to a story not yet told about the world of Alex Murdaugh. After two Beaufort County teenagers are arrested for allegedly creating a fake Instagram account to impersonate a former teacher of theirs, Mandy and Liz discover that a little-known law exists that leaves the door open for abuses of power. Cory Fleming’s continued connection to a troubled Lowcountry charter school raises even more questions. Want to look at the documents referenced in this episode and others?
