In February of 2019 a boat crash killed 19 year old Mallory Beach. Paul Murdaugh, the son of prominent SC attorney, Alex Murdaugh, was charged with three felony counts of boating under the influence, including causing the death of Mallory Beach. 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. No one could have expected the twists and turns the story has taken and it is not finished.

    Could A New Lead Provide Answers in the 2015 Death of Stephen Smith?

    James Seidel from Crime and Cask Investigations discusses his source that told him about who was responsible for the death of Stephen Smith. A decade ago, 19-year-old Stephen Smith was discovered lying dead in the middle of a quiet country road in Hampton County, South Carolina — killed by a brutal strike to the head. The case was swiftly — and controversially — labeled a hit-and-run. Smith’s homicide still remains unsolved. No arrests. No accountability. And those who loved him are still waiting — not only for justice, but for answers.

    Alex Murdaugh Fights Back: Refuting Evidence And Alleging Tampering

    Alex Murdaugh’s defense team has filed a 79-page response challenging prosecutors’ efforts to block his request for a new murder trial. His lawyers argue that the state’s opposition is flawed and maintain that Murdaugh was denied a fair trial due to alleged jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill. Although Retired Chief Justice Jean Toal denied a retrial—despite finding Hill not credible—Murdaugh’s attorneys insist that key evidence was ignored, forensic findings were misrepresented, and irrelevant financial evidence was used to distract from the lack of proof tying Murdaugh to the murders of his wife and son. In this episode we discuss the defense team's strategy and the possibility of Murdaugh getting a new trial with attorney Matt Siembieda. Matt Siembieda is 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.
