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":"Why Does Blanca Simpson Believe Alex Murdaugh Had A Plan A And A Plan B?","slug":"why-does-blanca-simpson-believe-alex-murdaugh-had-a-plan-a-and-a-plan-b","published_at":"2026-06-07T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088/why-does-blanca-simpson-believe-alex-murdaugh-had-a-plan-a-and-a-plan-b","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8912901","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8912901.mp3?modified=1780670549&sid=5097527&source=rss","summary":"Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson spent twenty years watching Alex Murdaugh use other people to do his work. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks totaling roughly $2.4 million. A network of enablers kept the financial machine running for years. Alex moved money through other people's hands. He used relationships as cover. He built deniability into every arrangement. He never did anything alone. So when the defense says \"other suspects,\" Blanca doesn't flinch. She has her own theory — and it doesn't point away from Alex. She believes he had a Plan A that involved someone else being at Moselle that night. When that arrangement fell apart, he executed Plan B himself and built a story around the boat crash families. It's not a guess from the outside. It's a reading of behavior from twenty years inside the household — watching the visitors, the phone calls, the shifts in Alex's behavior in the months before Maggie and Paul were killed. If he never operated alone in any other part of his life, Blanca asks, why would the murders be the one exception? She also goes deeper into what she saw the morning after than she ever has before. Blanca walked into the Murdaugh house twelve hours after the killings and noticed things that didn't fit — items moved, cleaned, or wrong. Small details a forensic team would miss but a woman who knew every cabinet, every towel rack, every morning routine would catch in seconds. She testified for three hours in 2023. Prosecutors asked about the shirt, the towel, the pajamas. She says they barely scratched the surface. With the Supreme Court stripping away the financial crimes testimony, Blanca's granular knowledge of the household may carry more weight at retrial than it did the first time. She separates grief from scene management. S…","meta_description":"Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson spent twenty years watching Alex Murdaugh use other people to do his work.
