## Resource

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 the entire story. Blanca isn't a legal commentator trying to thread a needle for the cameras. She's a woman who lost her closest friend, who watched the man she believes is responsible get convicted in three hours, and who now has to reconcile the fact that a court clerk's misconduct was enough to undo all of it. Not the evidence. Not the testimony. One person's behavior behind closed doors.Blanca talks about the moment she heard the ruling and drove to Maggie's grave. The silence she sat in. The fear she wrote about in her book — that a retrial might come — that has now become real. And whether the Blanca Simpson who takes the stand in round two will be the same cautious, still-in-shock housekeeper the jury saw in 2023, or someone who has spent three years getting clearer about what she knows and what she's ready to say.Part 1 of a three-part exclusive on the Alex Murdaugh channel.
