COJ #85 - The Law that Could Have Saved Mica Francis’ Life + JP Miller’s Attempt to Ruin His Wife’s Reputation After Her Death

Cup of Justice co-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland — talk about the latest revelations in the Mica Miller case, which they’re now referring to as the Mica FRANCIS case (in honor of Mica’s attempt before her death to shed her married name and reclaim her identity). Last week, Mica’s family announced that they are determined to make sure there’s a law to protect victims of non-physical abuse in their relationships. In a press conference outside the Conway Courthouse in South Carolina, Mica’s attorney Regina B. Ward and family presented their plan for Mica’s Law, a bill that would criminalize “coercive control” behavior. As part of their announcement, they included a long list of the types of abuse Mica documented in her journals and in police reports. Also on the show, Mandy and David talk about their trip to Myrtle Beach to retrace Mica’s footsteps on the day she died. Premium Members will get an extended version that includes a discussion about cease and desist letters. Are they effective? What happens when there’s no substance to them? Let’s get into it...
