Attorney Noah Pines Discusses Alex Murdaugh’s Big Waste of Time and Greg Parker’s Big Waste of Money (COJ192)
08/18/2026 | 53 mins.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sit down with bad-ass attorney Noah Pines for some much-needed grounding. Because things have been rough in these South Carolina legal streets lately, y’all!!!
Noah — who is a longtime friend of LUNASHARK®— is a criminal defense attorney and partner at Ross and Pines LLC in Atlanta. He is perhaps best known for his work on the Joey Watkins case with The Georgia Innocence Project and as an on-air legal analyst for CourtTV.
On today’s episode of Cup of Justice, Mandy and Liz talk to Noah about the vast differences between the legal system in South Carolina and its neighbor state Georgia, where the bar isn’t allowing the disciplinary process to be used as a tool of lawfare.
Noah also offers his take of Alex Murdaugh’s most recent hearing on Aug. 14.

08/11/2026 | 57 mins.Mandy and Liz sit down with attorney Bill Maurer of the Institute for Justice to talk about what happens when public officials forget that their job is to abide by the constitution. Is there anything people can do to reclaim their rights (and the rights of everyone else)? And is the fight worth it?
Yes and Yes.
Still reeling from the uprecedented $176,500 sanction for contempt of court that Judge R. Keith Kelly imposed on investigative journalist Mandy Matney last month, Mandy and journalist Liz Farrell are on a hunt for perspective. How does the government justify such a large payout over a disproportionate infraction?
The answer turns out to be “easily.”
That is, until citizens fight back.
Political and judicial fiefdoms are born where those with no ethical boundaries destroy rights to maintain power and money… sound familiar?

08/04/2026 | 53 mins.In 1994, 17-year-old Lamonte McIntyre was arrested hours after a double homicide in Kansas City, Kansas — a crime he had nothing to do with. There was no physical evidence and no real investigation. What there was: a detective with a grudge against Lamonte's mother, a prosecutor who apparently knew her witnesses were lying, and a judge allegedly "involved" with that prosecutor. Undoing all those wrongs took 23 years.
This week, Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell sit down with Miracle of Innocence co-founder Lamonte McIntyre to talk about being swallowed by a system built to protect itself — the moment two strangers pointed at him in a courtroom, the years he refused to wear a prison ID, and the day a prosecutor finally stood up and dropped every charge.
But this isn't only a story about what was taken. Lamonte talks about what he built after: Kansas compensation law, legislation to prevent police from sexually assaulting citizens, and what he's asking the rest of us to do.

07/28/2026 | 1h 2 mins.Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and producer of journalism David Moses are recording near Washington, D.C. for a special episode on an explosive FOIA returned from Spartanburg PD.
First, David opens with gratitude for the listeners who requested a GoFundMe and refused to let Mandy stand alone. Then we’re examining the very relevant Spartanburg Police Report that Deborah Barbier filed claiming that a man stood up in the AC Hotel’s lobby area, photographed her, “kept screaming her name” — and that “Mandy Matney” was somehow involved.
The report on the June 22, 2026 incident was released after Mandy’s contempt order was issued and it is stunning: a search warrant, a thumb drive, an IT department, roughly four hours of hotel video — and a police lieutenant who wrote that he was “unable to locate the confrontation Mrs. Barbier advised”. Mandy, Liz and David unpack what’s in the report and what’s very obviously not.

07/21/2026 | 58 mins.After five amazing years in the fray together and 188 episodes, Eric Bland is stepping back from his role as Cup of Justice co-host — but don't call it goodbye.
In this heartfelt and candid farewell, Eric explains his decision to refocus on his law practice, his public speaking career, and — most critically — his role as a legal advocate for Mandy as she navigates ongoing harassment and an outrageous sanction that denied her due process at every turn.
Together, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland unpack the broken system that's allowed a convicted felon to weaponize the ODC against lawyers, and they celebrate the incredible journey that took them from late-night phone calls about the Murdaugh’s financial crimes to back stage and on the mic with Sheryl Crow, and too many good times to count.
