Unanimously. Now the most-watched criminal case in state history starts over — new judge, new jury, new rules — and this is where you follow every step of it. From Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski, The Re-Trial of Alex Murdaugh delivers real-time legal analysis, courtroom coverage, and expert interviews as the State decides whether and how to retry the disbarred attorney for the June 2021 killings of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. The Supreme Court didn't just reverse the verdict — it rewrote the playbook. The financial crimes evidence that dominated the first trial has been sharply restricted. The jury tampering by former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill, who pled guilty to perjury, has been laid bare in a devastating 27-page opinion. Everything about this case is different now. This podcast covers what matters: pretrial motions, venue fights, evidentiary rulings, witness strategy, jury selection, and the legal collisions that will determine whether Murdaugh is convicted again or walks on the murder charges. No filler. No recycled takes. No speculation dressed up as analysis. Just the case, the law,…","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T10:17:19.370813+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088"},"episode":{"title":"Did Buster Murdaugh Just Turn On Alex?","slug":"did-buster-murdaugh-just-turn-on-alex","published_at":"2026-05-23T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088/did-buster-murdaugh-just-turn-on-alex","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8905922","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8905922.mp3?modified=1779294788&sid=5097527&source=rss","summary":"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 his loyalty has cracked, both sides know it changes everything. Jennifer Coffindaffer and Robin Dreeke break down what Buster's anger means for the retrial — and whether the prosecution can use it. Coffindaffer raises the question buried inside the State's own theory: if this was family annihilation, why is Buster still alive? Maggie wouldn't have believed a story about Paul's death if Buster were gone too. That hole sits right in the middle of the motive the State has to sell a second jury. Then there's the insurance scheme — Alex allegedly staging his own shooting so Buster could collect ten million dollars. A father's desperate love or a con man using his last remaining son as a prop? A jury can read it either way, and both readings cut deep. Eric Faddis breaks down what the Supreme Court's reversal actually changed for the retrial — the evidence limits, Alex's locked-in testimony, Becky Hill's criminal conviction, and the strategic choice both sides have to make before anything else. The question Faddis leaves on the table: which side would a former prosecutor rather be on walking into round two?
