In this podcast episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis discuss the upcoming hearing by the South Carolina Supreme Court regarding Alex Murdaugh’s claims of jury tampering during his trial. The case has gained significant attention, and the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the case indicates its importance. Faddis explains that jury tampering is a serious issue that can lead to overturning convictions or granting new trials, depending on the court's findings. The conversation explores potential outcomes, including the possibility of a new trial without Becky Hill, who is accused of tampering, or even the complete vacating of Murdaugh’s conviction. They also consider how the financial crimes that heavily influenced the original trial might impact a potential retrial. Faddis suggests that even if Murdaugh’s murder conviction is overturned, he still faces substantial prison time for his other financial crimes, which could be reintroduced in a new trial, making his defense more challenging.
