June 7, 2021 Alex Murdaugh found his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, brutally murdered, shot to death on their property known as Moselle. On March 2, 2023 Alex was convicted of murdering Maggie and Paul. Between the murders and the convictions many other crimes came to light.

    Introducing 489: Andrea Yates: The Cult Behind the Killer Part 2 from True Crime Obsessed. Follow the show: True Crime Obsessed In part 2, we start to understand the severity of Andrea's postpartum depression - an illness that went untreated so long that it developed into a psychosis. And even after she recovered from it the first time and she and her husband Rusty were warned that it would be worse if they had any more kids, they went ahead and had their fifth. Many questions swirl around Rusty and his insistence that they continue to reproduce. And only when Andrea's attorney is finally able to make the connection between her mental illness and her religious indoctrination is a jury able to see her crime for what it was, a perfect storm of coercion, depression, and a desperate attempt - as backwards as it sounds - to save the souls of her children.

    Alex Murdaugh Murder Convictions Overturned

    The Supreme Court of South Carolina ruled that Alex Murdaugh is entitled to a new trial, citing improper influences on the jury. According to the court, Becky Hill's comments and actions compromised the integrity of the jury, violating Murdaugh’s right to a fair trial. The court emphasized that every defendant is entitled to an impartial jury, free from external influences.  The court found that Hill made statements to jurors that suggested Murdaugh was guilty.  While the court did not review every evidentiary issue raised by Murdaugh's appeal, it provided guidance on the admissibility of his financial crimes in the upcoming trial. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson expressed disappointment but acknowledged the necessity of a fair trial. Wilson stated that he intends to seek a speedy retrial, hoping to have it completed by the end of the year. Joining the podcast is Matt Siembieda, an attorney and law professor at Temple Law School. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.

    Discover how media distortion affects public perception of justice. Rob Rosen’s insights offer a deep dive into the realities behind media narratives and their societal impact. In today’s fast-paced media landscape, discerning the truth can be a daunting task. When I spoke with Rob Rosen, an award-winning investigative journalist, he shed light on the critical issue of media distortion, particularly in high-profile crime cases. This post will explore key takeaways from our conversation, focusing on how media shapes public opinion and the importance of seeking comprehensive narratives. Rob Rosen had over 30 years of experience in journalism, having created and served as the showrunner for the investigative true crime series "Reasonable Doubt," which has helped exonerate several wrongfully convicted individuals. His latest book, "Crimes of Omission: Distorted Justice, the Media's War on Truth," delves into how media narratives can mislead the public by selectively presenting information.
