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 Spend Millions Retrying Murdaugh If He's Already Locked Up Forever?","slug":"why-spend-millions-retrying-murdaugh-if-he-s-already-locked-up-forever","published_at":"2026-05-26T01:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088/why-spend-millions-retrying-murdaugh-if-he-s-already-locked-up-forever","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-re-trial-of-alex-murdaugh-5989088","url":"https://audioboom.com/posts/8906870","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/audioboom.com/posts/8906870.mp3?modified=1779457558&sid=5097527&source=rss","summary":"Alex Murdaugh is 57. He's serving 40 years federal. He's never getting out. So why spend millions on a retrial? Because Maggie Murdaugh was 52. Paul Murdaugh was 22. They were shot to death on their family's property. And right now, nobody stands convicted of killing them. The guilty verdicts are erased. The life sentences are vacated. Not because the evidence wasn't there — because an elected court clerk corrupted the process. A financial crimes sentence is not a murder conviction by proxy. Accepting it as one tells the families of Maggie and Paul that the question of who killed them doesn't matter enough to answer properly. Five days after the Supreme Court's unanimous reversal, Murdaugh's defense team sued Becky Hill in federal court. Seventeen pages. Section 1983. Six hundred thousand dollars in damages going to the receivership. Jim Griffin said the money isn't the point — the point is subpoena power, depositions, and dragging people under oath to answer what the state never asked. The Supreme Court ruled Hill put \"her fingers on the scales of justice.\" The state prosecutor said there wasn't enough to charge her with jury tampering. Four months later, the Supreme Court said that's exactly what she did. Eric Faddis breaks down the lawsuit, what civil discovery gives the defense that the criminal process never did, and why Griffin stressed none of the money goes to Murdaugh personally. He explains what Section 1983 requires and whether the discovery could reveal Hill didn't act alone. Now the Attorney General is reportedly considering the death penalty. People Murdaugh stole from have said they'll testify again. The retrial isn't about adjusting a sentence he's already serving. It's about accountability for two people who were killed and a legal record that currentl…","meta_description":"Alex Murdaugh is 57. He's serving 40 years federal. He's never getting out.
