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 Police Said Alex Murdaugh's Eyes Were Wrong At Crime Scene?","slug":"why-police-said-alex-murdaugh-s-eyes-were-wrong-at-crime-scene","published_at":"2026-05-16T22:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088/why-police-said-alex-murdaugh-s-eyes-were-wrong-at-crime-scene","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8903589","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8903589.mp3?modified=1778772871&sid=5097527&source=rss","summary":"The first officer at the Moselle crime scene described Alex Murdaugh's eyes as wrong — low blink rate, staring off as if reading from a script. Hours later, in dashcam footage from a SLED agent's vehicle, Alex was sobbing and it looked absolutely real. James Lasdun's book The Family Man argues that the grief and the deception may have been happening at the same time — and that both were genuine. The research on psychopathy lists planning and impulsivity as traits of the same condition, not contradictions. The book draws on decades of criminal psychology and places Alex alongside documented cases that mirror his profile almost exactly. Jean-Claude Romand faked being a doctor for eighteen years, stole from everyone who trusted him, and killed his wife, both children, and his parents when the lies collapsed. Researchers classify this type as \"anomic\" family annihilators — men who see their families as extensions of their own success. When the empire falls, the family becomes obsolete. In every documented case, the people closest described the killer as a loving family man. But the psychology is only half the book. Lasdun uncovered manipulation going back years. Morgan Doughty's first written statement allegedly said Connor Cook was driving the boat the night Mallory Beach was killed — that story changed the next day after a whispered conversation at the hospital while Alex was allegedly in the hallways trying to get into patients' rooms. After the staged roadside shooting, Alex sat with a sketch artist and the composite of his \"attacker\" allegedly matched Anthony Cook, a boat crash survivor. He also wrote a $5,000 backdated check to a Yemassee police chief who was at the Moselle crime scene — never explained. Co-prosecutor Meadors suggested in closing that maybe Alex \"jus…","meta_description":"The first officer at the Moselle crime scene described Alex Murdaugh's eyes as wrong — low blink rate, staring off as if reading from a script.
