TSP #105 - Surprise! We Found More Corruption in Weldon Boyd Case + Why Are Members of the Media Treating Michael Colucci Like a Credible Person?

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have had enough with mainstream media. After a South Carolina judge dismissed Michael Colucci’s murder charge last week in the strangulation death of his wife in 2015, Mandy and Liz noticed a trend … members of the media seemed to be deviating from the facts of the case in favor of carefully coddling Michael by pushing his narrative for him.  But for Sara-Lynn Colucci, they did no such thing. Instead they were careless with their words and grossly mischaracterized what her state of mind was in the weeks leading up to her death. After a special episode of Cup of Justice this week with Sara-Lynn’s daughter, Bishop Venters, in her first public interview, the mission became clear. Bishop is ready to fight for justice for her mom. And she’s going to need an army behind her to get S.C Attorney General Alan Wilson to focus on his job and present Michael’s case to the grand jury again for a reindictment.  Also on today’s show, we found YET ANOTHER moment on Horry County Police Department body cameras where Weldon Boyd got help from an officer at the crime scene with Scott Spivey’s body sitting 30 yards away, shot to death by Weldon and his buddy Bradley Williams.  We’re diving deep into assembling the timeline… Lots to cover so let’s dive in! 🥽🦈 Episode References “Walking With Stephen” Information and Registration Links 🎟️ JusticeforSaraLynn.com ⚖️ Alan Wilson’s Campaign Announcement on Facebook & Instagram📣 After His Murder Indictment Was Dismissed, Michael Colucci Chats With Dateline NBC Producer Carol Gable  Dateline’s “True Crime Weekly” podcast episode 🎧 “SLED agent grilled at Murdaugh trial botches Michael Colucci murder case.

Om Podcasten

Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight is the intersection of True Crime, journalism and systematic corruption. Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators. We expose the truth wherever it leads giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you've met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others. True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over "access journalism". True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on crime and corruption wherever it appears. Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of where crime meets corruption across the US. We empower listeners to understand their legal and judicial systems through investigative journalism while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to change those systems for the better.  Listen on any streaming service or visit TrueSunlight.com to learn more.  Premium Members also get access to 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 to learn more: https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE.
