TSP #75 - Russell Laffitte’s Big Break + How Christa Bauer Gilley’s Family Is Fighting to Keep Her Babies Safe

True Sunlight

After accused killer Lee Gilley appeared in court in Houston, Texas supported by lead defense attorney Dick DeGuerin, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive in to what happened to Christa Bauer Gilley of Summerville, South Carolina. Court documents in the case reveal shocking details of how Lee Gilley acted after his wife’s death at their Houston Heights home. You’ll hear the latest on Lee Gilley’s bond agreement and what’s next to get Justice For Christa. And affidavits filed in Christa’s children’s custody case show the horrible way her family found out about her death … and about how she died.

We also take a look at the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to vacate the conviction and sentence of one of Alex Murdaugh’s alleged co-conspirators — bank enabler Russell Laffitte. Why did the court do this? When will Russell be released from prison? What about all the money he still owes his attorneys? And will Murdaugh trial superstar Creighton Waters — with that Big Creighton Energy — step in to prosecute Russell on his pending 21 state charges for allegedly helping Alex steal clients’ money? 

Plus an update on a trial date in the Sara Lynn Colucci case and the latest in Buster Murdaugh’s defamation lawsuit.
