Episode TSP #148 - Alex Murdaugh to Get New Trial in Murders of Wife and Son + Mandy & Liz Break Down the 5-0 Reversal
It happened on a Wednesday…
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the 27-page Alex Murdaugh murder conviction reversal that essentially boils down to two words: Blame Becky. They wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that money seems to help a defendant's chances at the state's highest court — while sticking to their belief that the evidence still points to one person who went down to the kennels and lied about it.
In a unanimous 5-0 decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court reversed Alex Murdaugh's double-murder conviction, ruling that Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill "placed her fingers on the scales of justice."
They also unpack the court's new guardrails on financial-crimes testimony at retrial, including the gutting decision to call Tony Satterfield's words unfairly prejudicial.
Plus: reactions from Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley, AG Alan Wilson, and AG candidate David Pascoe.
Same case. Same evidence. Same liar. Round Two starts now.
