Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott keeps this combined episode focused on the pattern Mica Miller’s family says the law repeatedly failed to capture. Mica left journals, diaries and police reports describing alleged control over medication, unwanted injections, sleep deprivation, tracking and harassment. Scott explains why coercive control is often missed when institutions evaluate each incident on its own instead of asking whether one person is steadily stripping away another person’s choices. 

That is the problem Mica’s Law is designed to address. South Carolina’s SB 702 would add coercive control to the state’s domestic-violence framework and make repeated controlling behavior a criminal offense. The bill stalled during the 2026 session and remains unpassed. Scott examines what that gap means for families who can describe an entire pattern but cannot point to one statute that names it. 

JP Miller is now charged federally with cyberstalking and making false statements. Prosecutors allege that from November 2022 through April 27, 2024, he repeatedly contacted Mica, interfered with her finances and daily activities, damaged her tires, posted an intimate image without consent and caused tracking devices to be placed on her vehicle. JP has pleaded not guilty and has not been charged in connection with Mica’s death. His case is scheduled for the October 2026 federal trial term. 

The second half of the episode looks at what came next. JP married Suzie Skinner in June 2025. Suzie’s former husband Chris Skinner died in a pool in September 2021, and authorities ruled the drowning accidental. His family has publicly questioned that ruling, while reporting says the case has been revisited. No one has been charged in Chris Skinner’s death. 

Netflix interviewees have alleged JP and Suzie were involved before Mica died; JP has denied that and said the relationship began later. Scott looks at why a new relationship can become part of an alleged controller’s public reset while making clear that remarriage itself proves nothing about criminal conduct.
