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 Maggie Murdaugh Already Know What Was Coming?","slug":"did-maggie-murdaugh-already-know-what-was-coming","published_at":"2026-05-23T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088/did-maggie-murdaugh-already-know-what-was-coming","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8905905","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8905905.mp3?modified=1779292589&sid=5097527&source=rss","summary":"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 actually being gone is the most dangerous stretch in a relationship like that. The way Scott describes those final hours, you cannot unhear it. Then the legal track. Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what the South Carolina Supreme Court ruling means for a potential retrial. The court found the prosecution spent too much time on Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes — twelve and a half hours of it — and a second trial will have to be cut down significantly. The parade of theft victims that helped paint him to the first jury? Probably gone. What survives is tighter and colder: the CFO allegedly confronting him about missing fees the morning of the killings, and an opposing attorney's hearing three days later that would have forced him to open the books. Faddis also walks through the evidence the court left unresolved — the firearm analysis, the blue raincoat, the gunshot residue, the iPhone demonstration — and which one gives the defense its strongest opening. Plus the call the defense has to make before anything else.
