  • Summary

  • Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell get a lesson in all things Magistrate Court from co-host attorney Eric Bland. After Myrtle Beach Pastor JP Miller files more than a dozen complaints against protesters and creators seeking Justice for Mica, we were left scratching our heads but not at all surprised. What is JP up to and why did he choose Magistrate Court, where the most damages he could win tops out at $7,500? How can the protesters/creators defend themselves? And will Judge Christopher John Arakas — who isn’t a member of the South Carolina Bar Association and doesn’t appear to have ever been a lawyer — be fooled by JP’s claims? For Luna Shark Premium Members, we'll discuss the Parker Law Group's questionable snowman ☃️ and how JP Miller may be attempting to use the magistrate court to harass while the legal system might not offer adequate protection to the people being sued… 🥽 Let's Dive In... 🦈 Episode Resources Parker Law Group’s Snowman Magistrate Court in South Carolina Magistrate Court Rules “Exclusive: John-Paul Miller speaks about wife Mica Miller’s death” - NewsNation, July 22, 2024 Horry County Ordinance for Special Event Permitting Good Morning America Mica Miller Update on TikTok - May 14, 202 Premium Members also get access to episode videos, case files, live trial coverage and exclusive live experiences with our hosts.

Excellent

So Much Admiration Mandy and Liz are so smart and passionate and relentless in their commitment to justice for Mica in this episode and for other innocent victims in other episodes

I love the legal insights Eric shares and the respect he clearly has for these wise women.

Such an authentic group of good people.
