COJ #92 - JP MIller and His Bizarre ‘United Front’ Press Conference + Imagining Dick Harpootlian Speak at Alex Murdaugh’s Appeal Hearing

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and everyone’s favorite attorney Eric Bland — give a recap of last week’s strange press conference after Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller settled with Mica Francis’ family in their ongoing disputes in Family and Probate courts. 

Eric breaks down what the family might have given up in agreeing to drop their fight against JP getting to be personal representative of Mica’s estate … but also what they might have gained by settling now. The three also discuss how JP’s inner circle — and those still attending his church. 

Are they enablers of JP’s alleged bad behavior or are they victims of coercive control? What makes them continue to stand by his side? Also on the show, a date has been set in Alex Murdaugh’s Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals hearing — where he plans to argue that Judge Richard Gergel engaged in cruel and unusual punishment by giving Alex a 40-year sentence in his financial crimes earlier this year. Plus, the 2024 Olympics and the overwhelmingly positive messaging coming from this year’s slate of top athletes.
