Was Mandy Matney Punished By The Court For Speaking Out Against The SC Judiciary? TSP #159 [Part One]6 Aug1 h 15 min

[Part One of Two]

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and ⁠Liz Farrell walk through the motion to reconsider filed by Mandy’s attorneys to combat the unprecedented and arguably unconstitutional $176,500 civil contempt sanction.  

Mandy and Liz lay out how the process went sideways from the start: a rule to show cause with no verified petition, a hearing where her own compelled testimony was used to supply the missing foundation, and an order that cites her podcast and social media commentary as evidence against her — while conceding that speech was protected  — it's a farce.

Liz Farrell adds context on the five-star hotel bills, the fees no one gets to inspect, and the one person who predicted this outcome on the day of the deposition before any proceeding began.
