John Paul Miller was interviewed by Rich McHugh, the investigative producer who exposed Harvey Weinstein. Before a single question was asked, Miller started crying, head in hands. But there were no actual tears. Just the performance of grief. You will hear much more about this extraordinary interview in this episode as Laura Richards forensically deconstructs it.
Rich was one of the first journalists to pursue the story of Mica Francis. He is also the reporter who sat across from Miller in a church and asked him whether he felt partly responsible for what happened to his Mica.
In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, Laura sits down with Rich to go behind the scenes of that interview — what he saw in the room, what JP Miller's behaviour revealed, and why the story of Mica Francis demands the same scrutiny as any other case of coercive control.
Part 2 coming soon — Rich went to the scene. He interviewed an ear witness who heard the gun discharge. And Laura and Rich assess together what really happened to Mica Francis.
