Episodes from The Re-Trial Of Alex Murdaugh
What Evidence From Inside The Murdaugh House Has Never Been Heard In Court?
The Supreme Court gave prosecutors a clear signal: scale back the financial crimes evidence. The first trial spent twelve and a half hours on stolen money, defrauded clients, and broken lives. The justices called it excessive and said the state could have made its case in a fraction of that time.That changes the entire architecture of round two. And it elevates one witness above almost every other: Blanca Simpson.Blanca didn't see the murders. She didn't process the crime scene. What she did was spend twenty years learning the exact rhythms of the Murdaugh household — and then walk th...
Can Murdaugh's Housekeeper Believe He's Guilty And Still Respect The Court?
Blanca Simpson has said it publicly: she believes Alex Murdaugh killed Maggie and Paul. She wrote it in her book. She said it on camera. She reached that conclusion after years of processing what she saw inside that house — the wet towel, the folded pajamas, the shirt that vanished, the moment Alex tried to rewrite her memory months after the murders.And when the South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously threw out the conviction that her testimony helped secure, she said something that most people on either side of this case would never say: she respects the decision.That tension is...
Will Maggie And Paul Murdaugh Ever Get Justice Now?
It's easy to forget, with all the legal noise, that this case has two victims with names: Maggie Murdaugh and her son Paul. They were killed at the family's dog kennels in June of 2021, and for the people who've followed this story closely, the news that Alex Murdaugh's convictions were overturned landed hard — because it means the question of who answers for their deaths is open all over again.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer sits down with Tony Brueski to talk about where this leaves the people who loved Maggie and Paul. We talk honestly about wh...
Why Spend Millions Retrying Murdaugh If He's Already Locked Up Forever?
Alex Murdaugh is 57. He's serving 40 years federal. He's never getting out. So why spend millions on a retrial?Because Maggie Murdaugh was 52. Paul Murdaugh was 22. They were shot to death on their family's property. And right now, nobody stands convicted of killing them. The guilty verdicts are erased. The life sentences are vacated. Not because the evidence wasn't there — because an elected court clerk corrupted the process. A financial crimes sentence is not a murder conviction by proxy. Accepting it as one tells the families of Maggie and Paul that the question of who killed them doesn't ma...
Whose DNA Was Found Under Maggie Murdaugh's Fingernails?
Unknown male DNA was found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails. It was never run through CODIS. Jim Griffin said it at the press conference like he'd been waiting to — physical evidence from the person who was fatally shot, collected by investigators, documented in the case file, and never matched through the federal database. The defense has plans for it. They're not hiding that.But untested DNA is only one piece. The defense laid out a list of alleged SLED failures that got buried under twelve hours of financial crimes testimony the first time. Tire tracks never processed. GPS da...
Did Someone Help Becky Hill Tamper With Alex Murdaugh's Jury?
Alex Murdaugh's defense team just filed a federal lawsuit against Becky Hill — and the point isn't money. It's answers. The Section 1983 civil rights claim alleges Hill deprived Murdaugh of a fair trial before an untampered jury. The Supreme Court already found her conduct warranted throwing out the conviction. Now the defense wants to use civil discovery — depositions, subpoenas, sworn testimony — to find out everything the state never bothered to investigate.Jim Griffin put it plainly at the press conference: was Becky Hill a lone wolf? Or did someone else know what was happening during those deliberations? The co...
What Lead Did SLED Ignore On The Day Maggie And Paul Were Killed?
The first jury had twelve hours of stolen-money testimony making Alex Murdaugh look like a desperate man capable of anything. The Supreme Court stripped that away. Now the case has to stand on what SLED actually found at Moselle — and what they didn't bother to chase.Blanca Simpson, the Murdaugh housekeeper, told investigators about a suspicious white vehicle parked near the property close to where Paul kept firearms on the day of the killings. She reported it that day. She later gave more specific details in private interviews than she ever shared on the stand. SLED reportedly di...
Did Buster Murdaugh Just Turn On Alex?
Buster Murdaugh sat behind his father every single day of that first trial. He took the stand and told a jury Alex wasn't capable of this. Then Alex got convicted — and Buster disappeared. Three years of barely any prison calls. A quiet marriage. A life built as far from the Murdaugh name as he could manage. Now the convictions have been reversed and the retrial is coming, and sources say Buster isn't grateful. He's reportedly furious. He allegedly called Alex a "selfish old man."That's the son who was supposed to be the defense's emotional anchor. If...
Did Maggie Murdaugh Already Know What Was Coming?
Two conversations about Alex Murdaugh, and both of them keep coming back to what Maggie was carrying in those final months.She had reportedly retained a divorce attorney. She was living apart from Alex. On June 7, 2021, she did not want to go to Moselle. Two witnesses testified to that. She went anyway. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott — who writes about separation danger on her Substack, Spotlight on Psychology — explains what happens inside a controlling partner when they sense the door is closing. Why instincts get overridden after years of keeping the peace. Why the window between deciding to leave and...
Who Really Got the Egg Juror Kicked Off Murdaugh’s Jury?
Myra Crosby sat through six weeks of testimony. The judge praised her as an excellent juror. She was undecided. And on the morning deliberations were set to begin, she was removed based on allegations that now appear to have been fabricated. Three years later, the Supreme Court confirmed what Crosby has been saying all along: Becky Hill misrepresented information to the court to get her off the panel.But this episode goes deeper than Hill. I follow the anonymous email that triggered Crosby’s removal to its alleged source — someone reportedly connected to the Murdaugh Murders podcast network and atto...
Did The State Prosecutor Protect Becky Hill From Jury Tampering Charges?
Here's what doesn't add up. The state prosecutor who handled Becky Hill's criminal case told the court there wasn't enough evidence to charge her with jury tampering. Four months later, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Hill engaged in "shocking jury interference" and placed "her fingers on the scales of justice." She'd already pleaded guilty to misconduct, obstruction, and perjury. But the tampering charge — the one that actually describes what the Supreme Court says she did — was never filed.Eric Faddis spent years as a prosecutor and now practices defense. He explains how that gap happ...
Why ‘Murdaugh Is Already Locked Up’ Is Not an Acceptable Answer for Maggie and Paul
Alex Murdaugh is 57 years old serving 40 years in federal prison. He’s never getting out. So the question people keep asking is: why bother with a murder retrial? This episode of the Murdaugh channel answers that question, and the answer starts with two names: Maggie and Paul.Maggie Murdaugh was 52. Paul was 22. They were killed on their family’s property. The Supreme Court’s ruling erased the murder convictions and the life sentences. The legal record says no one has been convicted of their deaths. That’s a reality that cannot stand without an answer. The state has a le...
