TSP #82 - JP Miller Tried To Blame Mica’s Death On A Cop, New Emails Show + Wayne Miller’s Churchy Business Loans Make An Odd Appearance

Investigative journalists — and proud “podcasters” — Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell reveal the latest in the Mica Francis story, starting with emails from JP Miller and his sidekick Tricia Ross that were sent to police days after Mica’s death, urging the police to investigate one of their own in connection to Mica’s death. Yes, seriously. Turns out May 2 was a very bad day for JP Miller. Not only did he have to explain himself to his partners at the Myrtle Beach bar he had a stake in, he seemed to be on a war path as he pointed his finger at Heather Wilson, his alleged former ally at Horry County Police Department. JP — demonstrating once again that he thinks the police work directly for him — wanted the department to investigate Heather for Mica’s death because she is the mother of the man Mica was hanging out with on March 11 and the man who JP later called and berated. Mandy and Liz share the first installment of the texts and emails that came back from reporter Beth Braden’s FOIA for communications between JP and the police. Also on the show, we'll look at the waterfront home in Myrtle Beach that Wayne Miller had financial ties to and who ultimately came into possession of the home. We have the scoop — including an interview between Beth and mica's attorney Regina Ward.  Plus, the latest in the Nautilus trial, which had Cory Fleming back up on the stand this week in federal court... and ultimately the jury came back with a verdict in Nautilus' favor, declaring that Cory Fleming owes them $1.25 Million in compensatory damages plus $50.00 in punitive damages.  On Thursday, January 9th, (after publishing this episode) Judge Gergel found and ordered that Defendant Fleming committed a willful or knowing violation of SCUTPA and hereby trebles Plaintiff's damages, resulting in an award of $3,750,000.00 plus reasonable attorney’s fees.Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️Episode ResourcesJury decides Cory Fleming is liable for role in Murdaugh insurance scheme, owes $1.25M“Trial begins for Fleming in insurance accusation civil case” - Live5, Jan 6, 2025“‘In my mind, that was deception’: insurance expert testifies in Fleming case” - Live5, Jan 7, 2025Alex Murdaugh’s $14.8 Million Nautilus Judgement - Jan 2, 2025911 Calls after Mica Francis’ Death TimelineExposing Dirty Southern Money Facebook PageIf you are in crisis, please call, text or chat with the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741.Premium Members also get access to ad-free listening, searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on lunasharkmedia.com all in one place. CLICK HERE t
