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":"Was Becky Hill Really a ‘Lone Wolf’?

The defense is not leaving it to speculation. They filed a federal civil rights lawsuit — a Section 1983 claim — against the former Colleton County Clerk, alleging she stripped Alex Murdaugh of his right to a fair trial. The court already agreed the trial was compromised. What the lawsuit wants to determine is how it was compromised, by whom, and whether Hill had help. Civil discovery gives the defense something the criminal process never did: the ability to subpoena witnesses, compel depositions, and demand documents that might reveal the full picture. The complaint spotlights the removal of Myra Crosby from the jury — the egg lady juror whose departure during deliberations remains one of the most troubling unanswered questions from the original trial. The financial piece is straightforward. The defense seeks over six hundred thousand dollars representing first-trial costs. They went out of their way to state publicly that Murdaugh will not personally receive any of it. The money goes to the receivership. But the money is not the point. The investigation is. The defense argues the state had every opportunity to look into Hill’s conduct and chose not to. No thorough examination. No deep dive into who knew what. This suit is designed to force the investigation that should have happened already. Tony Brueski is joined by criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke to break down the claim, the strategy, and what the defense believes it will find.
