8) The Law That Could Have Saved Mica Francis Miller + The Abuse Alleged In Mica’s List
About this episode
Mica Francis Miller did what victims are told to do, and the law had no name for what was being done to her.
In this episode of COERCED, you'll learn more about Mica's List: five pages of alleged abuse, drawn from her own journals, that her family's attorney Regina Ward read into the record at a Myrtle Beach press conference. Sleep deprivation. Forced medication. Locks changed, accounts hijacked, sermons weaponized.
Investigative Journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive into the maddening truth: most of it isn't a chargeable crime in South Carolina, and a bill that would change that has sat in the Judiciary Committee since 2020.
Hear Mica's own senator dismiss her family, former Scotland Yard criminal behavioral analyst Laura Richards trace the red flags, and Mica's sisters testify before a Senate subcommittee two years after her death, only to be told to "never waver." Mica's Law still hasn't passed. And even when it does, it can never be used against JP Miller. So what can be?
