Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have spent the past year preparing for Charleston-area good ole boy Michael Colucci to be tried again for the 2015 murder of his wife, Sara-Lynn Moore Colucci.

Twice a retrial was scheduled. And twice it didn’t happen. On Tuesday, after the jury had been seated, South Carolina Judge Roger M. Young quashed the indictment of Colucci and dismissed what was to be a two-week trial and the end of what had become the oldest open murder case in the state.

For 10 years, Sara-Lynn’s family, including her mother and her only daughter, Bishop, who was a child at the time her mother died, have had to sit silently time and time again as the justice system continued to fail them.

What didn’t help matters? Original prosecutor and current public official Megan (Burchstead) Burleson’s surly and defensive behavior on the stand on Tuesday… 😡
The judge’s decision, though fair, was utterly disappointing and has Mandy and Liz fired up and ready to fight hard for justice to be served.

Let’s dive in! 🥽🦈
