In part one of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell finally get an answer to the question they've asked for years: when will South Carolina's Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) and Commission on Judicial Conduct (CJC) act on the ethics complaints against 14th Circuit Court Judge Carmen Tevis Mullen?At 10 a.m. Sept. 29, 2026, Judge Mullen will appear before the CJC in Columbia to defend herself against at least four counts of judicial misconduct stemming from a 2017 tenant dispute in her gated Hilton Head Island neighborhood. According to a police report, she wanted a man known as “Ernie the Attorney” arrested, searched for probable cause, and even suggested she could sign a warrant on the spot.Judge Mullen claims she only wanted Ernie to get mental health care. Mandy and Liz examine the charging document and her answers.
