COJ #170 - Beach v. Parker: Journalists Caught In Crossfire Expose Legal Circus + Where Is Alex Murdaugh’s Bestie?
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland pull no punches as they break down the relentless legal harassment campaign being waged against Luna Shark's journalists (and Premium Members) in the Beach v. Parker civil conspiracy to intentionally inflict emotional distress case. The team exposes how Greg Parker's attorneys are using “scorched-earth” litigation tactics — including vindictive depositions, invasive questioning about proprietary business operations, and the apparent use of allegedly stolen text messages — to intimidate and silence journalists covering the case(s). The crew then reviews the puzzling 'disappearance' of Alex Murdaugh's co-conspirator, Corey Fleming, from the SC Department of Corrections prison system after his early release from federal custody. We're asking why victims' families aren't being informed of his whereabouts and whether the system that seemed to look the other way for him is still doing so. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References South Carolina’s Rules of Civil Procedure including Rule 11 ⚖️ South Carolina’s Rules of Professional Conduct ⚖️ TSP 126 - Civil Conspiracy Case Overview 🎧 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Premium Members also get access to all new bonus episodes, video episodes, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.
