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 Someone Help Becky Hill Tamper With Alex Murdaugh's Jury?","slug":"did-someone-help-becky-hill-tamper-with-alex-murdaugh-s-jury","published_at":"2026-05-24T19:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088/did-someone-help-becky-hill-tamper-with-alex-murdaugh-s-jury","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8906366","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8906366.mp3?modified=1779372826&sid=5097527&source=rss","summary":"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 complaint flags the removal of juror Myra Crosby — the egg lady — as an incident that's never been adequately explained. The suit seeks more than six hundred thousand dollars in damages tied to the cost of the original trial. None of it goes to Murdaugh. Every dollar flows to the receivership. The defense argues the state never treated Hill's interference as the constitutional violation it was. Never followed the evidence wherever it led. This federal suit is built to go where the state wouldn't. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and Robin Dreeke break down what the discovery process can actually force into the open — and whether what Hill did during that trial could have happened without anyone noticing. On the retrial side, the Supreme Court handed the defense a roadmap. The financial evidence firewall changes everything. The court expressed clear skepticism about twelve hours of stolen-money testimony, and the defense will fight to exclude every piece armed with the court's own words. Behind that wall, the physical case is thin: no DNA on Murdaugh, no blood, both weapons missing, no eyewitnesses, and a crime scene that was compromised from the start.
