- 1 hour 4 minutesCOJ #171 - Bone Valley's Gilbert King on Justice, Forgiveness & Fighting For A Better System
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sit down with Pulitzer Prize winning Journalist and Bone Valley podcast creator Gilbert King for a conversation that connects wrongful conviction, racial injustice, and the raw power of storytelling across decades of American history.
King shares how his research into Thurgood Marshall's landmark civil rights battles in the Jim Crow South led him to Leo Schofield — a Florida man who spent 36 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit while the real killer, Jeremy Scott, walked free and killed again.
He also recounts the jaw-dropping moment he sat with Leo when Jeremy called unexpectedly — and Leo forgave him. We’re also unpacking why prosecutors double down instead of admitting error, how the judicial system's resistance to finality crushes innocent people, and why one storyteller's decision to shine a light can change everything.

10 March 2026, 10:00 am - 59 minutes 50 secondsCOJ #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.

3 March 2026, 10:00 am - 56 minutes 23 secondsCOJ #169 - "Foolish Behavior": Judge Denies Weldon Boyd Stand Your Ground Immunity and What It Means for Justice
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland break down the four-day hearing and the stunning moment when Judge Eugene “Bubba” Griffith ruled from the bench that Weldon Boyd does not receive “Stand Your Ground” immunity.
The team analyzes Weldon Boyd's day-long testimony, which the judge found not credible. Central to the ruling was the failure to prove a fundamental core argument that destroyed the defense's credibility: the claim that Scott Spivey shot first. The evidence proved less conclusive, and as Eric explains, when it’s perceived a defendant lies about the most important detail, nothing else you say can be believed. The judge's memorable words sum up the case: "Foolish behavior does not require you to foolishly act yourself."
We're also examining what this ruling means for Attorney General Alan Wilson, who declined to prosecute criminal charges despite applying the same evidentiary standard the judge just used to deny immunity. With the civil case moving forward and questions mounting about potential criminal charges, justice for the Spivey family remains within reach.

Today's Spivey v. Boyd/Williams hearing is available to all on our YouTube channel. Or Join LUNASHARK Premium to Join Our Hosts for all the context and community.
But first... Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland break down the stunning oral arguments in Alex Murdaugh's murder conviction appeal before the South Carolina Supreme Court — and they have a lot of questions about the questions that weren't asked.
The team dissects how the justices appeared to do the defense's heavy lifting, going hard on Judge Newman's evidentiary decisions and the state's case while going easy on Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin.
Plus, Buster Murdaugh quietly settles his federal defamation lawsuit against Warner Brothers and Mandy shares her raw frustration after her motion to quash a deposition in the Parker case was denied, sparking a fierce conversation about First Amendment rights, discovery abuse, and why journalists shouldn't be harassed by untrustworthy lawyers who’s clients don’t like their deeds exposed for the world to see. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️

10 February 2026, 11:24 am - 1 hour 2 minutesCOJ #166 - Stand Your Ground (But Only If We Like You): When the Attorney General Picks and Chooses
Today we need to address alarming developments in press freedom as independent journalists, including Don Lemon, face federal charges for violating the FACE Act of 1994.
Then Liz reintroduces a case we covered on True Sunlight #134 involving Anijah Yarnell, who claimed self-defense after shooting Michael Pennington in 2020. However, South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson unusually appealed the decision—contrasting sharply with Wilson's public opposition to charge others like Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams.
Then we’re sharing an excerpt from Liz and Mandy’s recent appearance on Laura Richard’s Crime Analyst Podcast (Episode 303). Richards, Matney, and Farrell emphasize the critical role of independent journalism and sustained public pressure in preventing cases from being swept away.

3 February 2026, 10:30 am - 1 hour 18 secondsCOJ #165 - Due Process on Trial: Weaponized Complaints From The State Bar to Feds Executing Curbside ‘Justice’
In this episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland confront a troubling throughline connecting professional discipline, prosecutorial discretion, and the rapid erosion of constitutional norms.
Eric recounts a chilling professional reality: an SC Bar disciplinary investigation triggered by harsh—but truthful—excise of free speech, while far more serious attorney misconduct across South Carolina goes untouched. From there, the discussion turns to newly filed deposition testimony, and the hosts break down how witness narratives can subtly “evolve” under pressure.
The final segment widens the lens to the streets of Minnesota, as the team grapples with the fatal shooting of American Nurse Alex Pretti and the alarming normalization of armed federal agents operating without transparency, judicial warrants, or visible identification.
At its core, this episode asks a sobering question: What happens when the systems designed to protect justice instead punish those who challenge abuse? The answer... is why journalism, courts, and public scrutiny matter now more than ever.

Maggie Freleng, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, joins Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell to discuss her career trajectory, starting from her early days in journalism to her work on the pivotal "Suave" podcast. She shares insights on the Maura Murray case, which she investigated, and the impact of true crime podcasts on public perception and law enforcement.
In this compelling episode, Freleng—creator of the acclaimed "Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County" podcast—discusses her journey from aspiring travel blogger to leading voice in wrongful conviction journalism. We’re exploring the fascinating dichotomy between accountability journalism and innocence work, with Liz Farrell describing it as "two batteries facing different directions" pressuring the justice system to function properly.

20 January 2026, 10:49 am - 1 hour 2 minutesCOJ #163 - JP Miller Pleads Not Guilty In Federal Court While Federal Authority Terrifies In Minneapolis
In this gripping episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland, confront a week that forces an uncomfortable but urgent question: what happens when power escalates faster than accountability?
First, Liz Farrell reports firsthand from the federal arraignment of JP Miller—an appearance marked not just by legal gravity, but by a visible public demand for accountability. What she witnessed was extraordinary: 52 U.S. Marshals on duty, federal prosecutors flooding the jury box, and bombshell revelations that paint JP as both a flight risk and danger to the community.
Then through dual lenses of investigative journalism and constitutional law, our hosts unpack a deadly ICE encounter in Minnesota, interrogating how rapidly escalating law enforcement tactics collide with due process, civil rights, and public trust.
This is not a partisan conversation. It’s a journalistic one. A legal one. And ultimately, a civic one. Because justice doesn’t survive on authority alone... it survives with scrutiny and accountability.☕ Cups Up! ⚖️

Cups Up to Season Four in 2026!
Between stretches of absolutely nothing in West Texas and questionable taquito choices, Mandy Matney celebrates LUNASHARK’s new travel podcast "Wherever It Leads…"—because apparently investigating corruption wasn't enough of an adventure. Stay tuned for details on the premiere.
Then Mandy, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland dive into serious updates: Russell Laffitte finally reported to federal prison on December 30th, Cory Fleming might be headed home to Beaufort in what seems like shenanigans, and JP Miller heads to his arraignment in federal court on January 12th.
Then the team dives deeper into Lee Gilley's upcoming capital murder trial in Houston scheduled for February 23rd. Accused of strangling his pregnant wife Christa to death and killing their unborn child, Gilley has been booping about on bond—attending mega churches and allegedly dating—while Christa’s friends fight tirelessly for justice. The audacity is stunning, the hypocrisy infuriating, and the need for accountability is more dire than ever.

As 2025 draws to a close, the LUNASHARK team takes a moment to look back at the year's most powerful conversations from Cup of Justice. Join digital librarian Kate Thomas as she revisits twelve unforgettable clips, one from each month, featuring the voices that moved us, challenged us, and reminded us why this work matters.
From detectives connecting the dots to families walking dark roads seeking answers, from Hollywood productions to legal battles weaponized against journalists... From breakthroughs in cases once dismissed as hoaxes to masterclasses in investigative journalism, from emotional pleas for justice to the surreal moment an actor's transformation into Alex Murdaugh triggered visceral reactions.... These twelve clips tell the story of a year spent chasing justice, celebrating the persistence of families seeking justice, and embracing the power of independent journalism.
These moments capture the heart of Cup of Justice's mission: exposing the truth, amplifying victims' voices, and demanding accountability from those in power. ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️Links to Episodes:
