59:33Now PlayingAward winning investigative journalist Mandy Matney broke the Murdaugh Murders story wide open before the rest of the world was paying attention. The story is not over. Alex Murdaugh has been awarded a new trial in 2027 and now Mandy’s facing a $176, 500 contempt order and a justice system that seems more interested in punishing her than protecting her.
In this exclusive, Laura and Mandy discuss:
- How a subpoena dropped two days after the premiere of Mandy's Hulu show, Murdaugh: Death in the Family;
- Why Mandy's fear on the day of her deposition was cumulative, real and entirely reasonable — and why the judge got it wrong;
- Stalking behaviours - patterned, fixated and obsessive and intrusive behaviour which engender alarm, distress and/or fear;
- How this penalty is higher than fines handed to convicted murderers and corrupt attorneys in South Carolina;
- The confidentiality order — and what it means that the breakdown of legal fees has never been made transparent
- What this case means for press freedom, the First Amendment, and women who dare to expose powerful men, and;
- How you can support Mandy.
Women get silenced when they take on patriarchy. This is what that looks like.
