The South Carolina Supreme Court threw out Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions. 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, and what it means — explained by someone who has covered every turn of this story from the beginning. New episodes drop as developments warrant. Subscribe so you don't miss the moment this case breaks open again.

    The Murdaugh Murders Mystery? Part 3 — Who's Actually on the Defense's Suspect List

    Jim Griffin went on national television the day after the state Supreme Court threw out Alex Murdaugh's convictions and said the defense has a list of other potential suspects. Months of filings later, the court has not been told who is on it. Part 3 of the Murdaugh murder mystery builds the list the record supports and tests each name against one question: if this person did it, what was Alex lying about for twenty months? One is the stranger he described to the first deputy within moments of the man's arrival. The retired Hampton County sheriff testified that no threat report was ever filed. There's a Yemassee officer. And there are four texts Curtis Smith sent the morning after, which stayed in Alex's phone for four years. In October of 2026 a judge ordered unknown male DNA sent to a Texas lab over the state's objection. Smith has not been charged.

    The Murdaugh Murders Mystery? Part 2 — Thirteen Minutes With Only One Phone Moving

    Thirteen minutes carry the Murdaugh murder mystery, and Part 2 spends all of them on the record. From 8:49 and thirty-one seconds to 9:02 and eighteen seconds on June 7, 2021, one phone at Moselle moved: Maggie Murdaugh's. It counted fifty-nine steps at 8:53, rolled onto its side and back, and woke its camera for about a second. Paul's phone had locked for the last time, and a text from Rogan Gibson arrived unread. Alex's logged nothing in either direction, which fits his account of leaving it on the couch and the state's account of leaving it behind on purpose. Both stories go silent in the same minute. This part walks his sworn testimony against the car's data, the caretaker's testimony about his time at Almeda, and what he said about checking his wife and son before he dialed 911. Alex says he didn't kill them. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The Murdaugh Murders Mystery? Part 1 — The Dogs in Gloria's Claim Turned Out to Be This

    The dogs in Gloria Satterfield's insurance claim have an answer, and Alex Murdaugh supplied it himself. His housekeeper fell on the brick steps at Moselle in February of 2018 and died twenty-four days later, and the account given to the insurers made the family's dogs the cause. About $4.3 million paid out through an account Alex called Forge. Her sons collected nothing at the time and were never told the settlements happened. Part 1 is the proven column: the guilty pleas, the checks, the twenty-seven years the state gave him for the thefts, the boat crash that killed Mallory Beach, and the $309,581 that left Hakeem Pinckney's settlement after he died. Gloria's death was never reported to the coroner and there was no autopsy. SLED got the family's permission to exhume her the next year, has announced no result, and no one has been charged in her death.

    Alex Murdaugh's Prosecutors Used THIS Word for a Lab Report That Sat a Year

    The Alex Murdaugh motion to dismiss now has the State's answer on file, and prosecutors call their agent's year-long miss inadvertent. SLED analyst Sarah Zapata found no human blood in the shirt cuttings she tested in 2021. Her report sat in lead agent David Owen's email until November 2022, after he'd told the grand jury an expert found Maggie's and Paul's blood on that shirt. The State admits the report never reached that expert before he wrote his findings. Prosecutors wrote that they presented nothing false or fabricated, that the shotgun claim Owen later called a trick was confusion among several guns, and that the first jury convicted Alex without ever hearing the spatter expert. Alex's lawyers want a grand jury that hasn't been told any of it. I read the State's filing against the record it has in front of the Supreme Court. Alex is presumed innocent. November 13 is the hearing. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Alex Murdaugh, Sandra Birchmore and Nancy Guthrie: What Investigators Never Picked Up

    Alex Murdaugh's case is at the center of this full episode with retired FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, alongside Sandra Birchmore and Nancy Guthrie. Alex's lawyers want all four murder indictments thrown out at a November 13th hearing, arguing SLED's lead agent told the grand jury the victims' blood was on Alex's shirt after SLED's lab had found no human blood on it. Jen covers the Moselle scene released in hours, the tire track never photographed, and the raincoat found at his mother's house in September 2021. Jen also weighs Matthew Farwell's case before closings November 6th and the troopers who closed Sandra Birchmore's death without a warrant, plus a new phone lead in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. Alex is presumed innocent at his April 2027 retrial; Farwell has pleaded not guilty. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    Paul Murdaugh's Feed Room Had This in It When Mark Ball Arrived

    Mark Ball, Alex Murdaugh's former law partner, testified he went back to Moselle the morning after Maggie and Paul were killed and found what SLED left in the feed room. Retired FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me on SLED's investigation before Alex's November 13th hearing. The defense motion says the lead SLED agent told the grand jury in July 2022 that an expert found Maggie and Paul's blood on Alex's shirt. SLED's lab had found no human blood on the shirt eight months earlier. Alex's lawyers say that claim is what got him indicted, and they want all four indictments gone. Jen answers why a tire track at a double murder that matched no vehicle was never photographed, and what SLED never collected once agents focused on Alex. His retrial is set for April 2027, and he is presumed innocent. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

    The Cop on Alex Murdaugh's Case Made Up a Claim, Called It a Trick, Then Swore to It

    On November 13, 2026, a judge hears Alex Murdaugh's motion to throw out the four murder indictments for Maggie and Paul. Eric Faddis, a defense attorney and former prosecutor, goes through the Alex Murdaugh motion to dismiss with me. Alex's lawyers argue the indictments have to go because of the shirt. In July 2022 the lead SLED agent told the grand jury an expert found Maggie and Paul's blood on it, and the State's own lab had reported no human blood on it in November 2021. He testified in 2023 that he never saw that report until November 2022. In August 2021, the agent had told Alex that shotguns at the Murdaugh house were loaded like the gun that killed Paul, then swore to the same claim before the grand jury. At trial he called the August version a trick and agreed the sworn version was not accurate. Faddis answers whether a judge needs proof the agent knew, or whether a false claim is enough.

    Alex Murdaugh's Lawyers Say a Lie, Not a Mistake, Got Him Indicted for Murder

    Alex Murdaugh's lawyers say a lie, not a mistake, got him indicted for murder, and SLED's lead case agent, David Owen, says he never meant to mislead. That's the fight Judge Debra McCaslin hears November 13, 2026. The defense wants the indictments dismissed without prejudice, arguing the grand jury indicted on a spatter claim SLED's own lab had already disproven; the State can charge him again when the grand jury sits December 10. The lab's November 10, 2021 report on Alex's T-shirt, addressed to Owen, read "No human blood identified." Owen told the July 14, 2022 grand jury an expert found spatter on it with Alex, Maggie and Paul's DNA. The defense says that finding leaked to FITSNews from a report only SLED, prosecutors and Tom Bevel's firm had. The April 5, 2027 retrial stays put, and he's in prison on financial sentences regardless. He says he didn't do it and is presumed innocent.
