True Sunlight

True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a deeper look at Judge Gergel's sentence for convicted felon Russell Laffitte and zoom in on who the $3.55 million restitution will be paid to.

It was appalling to hear again how much pain Russell has caused the Plylers and Pinckneys and how their old wounds won’t close because of what Russell did. 

We reflect on the powerful testimonies and why its such a loss to public interest that these victims voices will not be heard by the public.

Throughout the day, all signs from Judge Gergel indicated that his sentencing would be severe and send a message that this type of complex crime that requires years of bad decisions will not be tolerated. However, 7 years in federal prison just doesn’t feel fair when it comes to the “cruel” and “complex” crimes described in court....

The question is… why… and will this ever change if not now...?

True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and Beth Braden dive into the Grant and Gracie Solomon case out of Nashville, Tennessee.

This horrifying, complex story is similar to the Murdaugh story in so many ways. It is a case of crime and corruption with systemic failures and social media efforts standing up against the Good Ole Boys. This is the first of many episodes on this case.

True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell go down the rabbit hole on South Carolina Judge Casey Manning, who is perhaps most famously known for his role in the secret release of convicted murderer Jeroid Price, who remains on the run.

Mandy and Liz break down a 2019 case involving the brutal murder of a South Carolina mom of five by her ex-boyfriend. Judge Manning’s behavior during the trial was reportedly so egregious and awful that it now threatens to overturn the man’s conviction.

In sharing yet another example of South Carolina’s broken justice system, True Sunlight continues to bring attention to the world that created a monster like Alex Murdaugh. You’ll also hear a quick Stephen Smith update and plans for future cases.

And since we need a break - we’re taking the week of July 4 OFF!! That means no Cup of Justice and No True Sunlight episodes next week. 

And if you want to go down a deep dive with us, we'll be sharing 500 pages of Jeroid Price's prison record with our LUNASHARK Premium members that we'll review with all premium members when we get back. 

And Starting July 1st, Premium Members will be able to visit lunasharkmedia.com to get access to searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts - all in one place. 

I’m so excited about this and so thankful for the members who support us and are helping us rekindle a love of journalism for so many. This work you are supporting is so important. 

Thank you so much for your understanding and we'll see y'all in two weeks!

 - Mandy and the LUNASHARK team

True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell revisit the Bowen Turner case as new details emerge from a victim’s family.

After bringing much needed sunlight to the secret plea deal being struck between a lawyer-legislator and the prosecution, the family of Dallas Stoller went suddenly quiet. They said they were told to stay out of the media so Dallas’ case could be reopened.

Also, we expose a sexual assault case involving a football star named David Bennett Galloway III that looks like it was handled a lot like Turner’s case.

Despite Dick and Jim’s insistence that their client has been cooperating with federal investigators, Beth Braden, a journalist from Tennessee who now works with Luna Shark, attended Alex's arraignment Wednesday and reported that Alex Murdaugh entered a plea of Not guilty to the 22 federal charges. 

Alex Murdaugh's Not Guilty plea in U.S. District Court, brings his ability for nonsense to a new low.

True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell discuss the latest drama in Murdaugh’s federal case and his best friend Cory Fleming’s attempts to get off lightly. They also share an update from South Carolina state prosecutor Creighton Waters.

Welcome to the new face of MMP. 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 Alex Murdaugh and his web of misdeeds. 

The U.S. Attorney’s Office’s decision to indict Alex Murdaugh and his (former?) best friend and alleged co-conspirator Cory Fleming this week raises more questions. Will Alex get to spend the rest of his two life sentences in “Club Fed”? Will Cory’s expected plea deal result in more big names getting exposed in this unprecedented web of deception? True Sunlight co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at the latest twists in this never-ending story of crime and corruption.
