COJ #139 - The Impact of Victims’ Voices in Bryan Kohberger Case + SC Cops Threaten Journalist In Quest for Information on Miscarriage Arrest

Investigative journalists⁠ ⁠Mandy  Matney⁠⁠ and⁠ ⁠Liz Farrell⁠⁠ — and attorney⁠ ⁠Eric Bland⁠⁠ — discuss the power of victim impact statements in the Bryan Kohberger case.  Kohberger was charged in 2022 shortly after the horrific killings of four Idaho college students, whom he stabbed to death while they slept. His victims’ loved ones used the power of their voices to let the court — and the public — know how many lives have been affected by this one man’s depravity. Mandy, Liz and Eric discuss the importance of these victim impact statements and — in a case like this one — who these statements are for... Also on today’s show, a discussion about the Florence County Sheriff’s Office’s arrest of a woman who miscarried at 18 weeks and the agency’s menacing response to a journalist after she requested the police report on the investigation. 😡 Plus, we talk about South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson’s run for governor and what an Attorney General's job description actually entails... ☕ Cups Up! ⚖️ Episode References ⁠⁠“Kaylee Goncalves' sister speaks out about courtroom confrontation with Bryan Kohberger”⁠⁠ - ABC News, July 28, 2025 📰 ⁠⁠“LIVE: Bryan Kohberger sentencing hearing”⁠⁠ - East Idaho News, July 23, 2025 🎞️ ⁠⁠“South Carolina Miscarriage Patient Turned in to Child Protective Services”⁠⁠ - Abortion, Every Day, July 25, 2025 🌐 ⁠⁠Alan Wilson’s FB post about protecting prayers before games.⁠⁠ - July 25, 2025 🌐 ⁠⁠“A pregnant brain-dead woman in Georgia was kept on life support.
