    True Sunlight – Luna Shark

    Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight is the intersection of True Crime, journalism and systematic corruption.  Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators. We expose the truth wherever it leads giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you’ve met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others.
    True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over “access journalism”. True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on crime and corruption wherever it appears.
    Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of where crime meets corruption across the US.

    We empower listeners to understand their legal and judicial systems through investigative journalism while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to change those systems for the better.

    ‘Accountability Happens Here’: Russell Laffitte Found Guilty On All Charges (S01E69) Nov 24, 2022
    Show notes

    The Murdaugh Murders Podcast team saw its first major legal victory this week. After a tense deliberation, a jury found former Palmetto State Bank CEO Russell Laffitte guilty of all charges late Tuesday night for his role in conspiring to steal money from clients of Alex Murdaugh. Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell talk to attorneys Justin Bamberg and Eric Bland to get their thoughts on the dramatic trial and what’s next for Russell. They also catch up with Alania Plyler-Spohn, who helped bring justice by testifying against her former conservator.

    Cup of Justice Bonus 9: The Vultures Are Circling But Will Russell Laffitte Be Found Guilty? Nov 20, 2022
    Show notes

    Russell Laffitte finally takes the stand, admitting that he “unintentionally” stole money on behalf of Alex Murdaugh. Will Russell’s insistence that Alex tricked him resonate with the jury? Did Russell’s father and sister just implicate themselves in federal crimes while trying to defend Russell? Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland are together again to talk about one of the craziest trials they have ever seen.

    Who Killed Maggie and Paul? Part Five (S01E66) Nov 02, 2022
    Show notes

    With fewer than 90 days left before Alex Murdaugh’s double-murder trial, we take a look at all the evidence we suspected, but now know to exist in the case.

    Also, Mandy and Liz take another look at a fiery two-hour pre-trial hearing last month where Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin did their best to throw doubt on the state’s case, but Creighton held his own and Judge Newman kept the peace.

    Cup of Justice Bonus 6: Leading Up To The War Oct 28, 2022
    Show notes

    Could Judge Carmen Mullen's interference in a police matter have led to kidnapping charges? Why is Alex Murdaugh waiving his right to appear at all future pre-trial hearings in his murder case?

    And what was the “actual” reason Dick and Jim wanted to have that latest hearing?

    There’s a war coming and Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland are getting ready. Join them as they discuss what’s happening inside the courtroom — and outside of it — in the lead up to Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial.

    Land of No Consequences: ‘Judge Mullen Is Wanting To Make Stuff Up’ (S01E65) Oct 26, 2022
    Show notes

    Last week we revealed that 14th Circuit Judge Carmen Mullen — who has been a key figure in the Murdaugh world — tried to create a crime and orchestrate the arrest of a man with psychiatric vulnerabilities in her neighborhood five years ago. This week, we have the recordings showing what she did — and her behavior is far worse than it sounded on paper. Once again, Mandy and Liz take on the judicial system and call on the state Supreme Court to stop looking the other way on judicial misconduct.

    I don’t know how many more disturbing stories the justices on the Supreme Court of South Carolina need to hear about Judge Carmen Mullen or how many more times her integrity needs to be publicly questioned before they pull their heads out of the sand and take action.


    Stay tuned for a bonus episode of Cup of Justice this week as we peer deeper into this mess and the circus of a hearing last Thursday.
