In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta explores the potential direction of a possible second trial for Alex Murdaugh. Motta discusses the possibility of the defense introducing a third-party culprit theory, which was not pursued in the initial trial. He speculates that if Murdaugh did hire someone else to commit the murders, he would still be held as accountable as if he had pulled the trigger himself. Motta also addresses the challenges that Murdaugh’s defense might face in proving such a theory, particularly the need to establish that potential third-party suspects were aware they had been wronged by Murdaugh. The conversation touches on the likelihood that financial crimes and the hatred they engendered among Murdaugh’s victims could be used to create reasonable doubt. However, Motta remains skeptical that this approach would succeed in changing the outcome of a retrial. He also predicts that the prosecution, led by Creighton Waters, might streamline its case if a new trial occurs, making it more focused and effective. The discussion concludes with a reflection on the complexities and high stakes of a potential "sequel" trial for Murdaugh, highlighting the intriguing nature of the case and the challenges both sides would face.
