COJ #104: FBI Raids Pastor JP Miller’s House, Another Big Loss for Alex Murdaugh + Bowen Turner Back on the Streets

Cup Of Justice

Talk about great timing... Just as investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — were getting together Friday to record, the FBI was in the middle of raiding the home of Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller.

Six months ago, JP’s wife, Mica Francis, was found dead in a North Carolina swamp, purportedly a victim of suicide. Since then Cup of Justice, True Sunlight Podcast and other news media have kept a steady spotlight on JP as the ugly truth emerged about what Mica’s life looked like leading up to her death. What does the FBI raid mean for JP and the accusations that he was abusing Mica through coercive control? What assumptions can we make about his future now that the FBI has made it clear that they believe there’s something to investigate? Also on today’s show, Alex Murdaugh and the Egg Lady Posse see another big loss, putting a dent in their propaganda machine as they conspire to get Alex’s murder conviction overturned. Plus, why the Menendez Brothers case is about more than who deserves parole in America. And Bowen Turner’s lawyer says he’s been rehabilitated. Can we trust that now that Bowen’s back on the streets?
