True Sunlight

Now that Alex Murdaugh has been convicted in the murders of his wife and son, it’s time to take a look back on all the pieces that had to come together for the jury to deliver that guilty verdict.

Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell talk about key testimony in the case and also had a fun chat with South Carolina prosecutor Creighton Waters himself. 

Looking ahead, we have big plans to expand our particular style of journalism to other cases across the country — cases that would be solved if not for local corruption in law enforcement and other government agencies, but we still have a lot of work to do with this case.

Over the next few months we will be redoubling our efforts into our investigation of the Stephen Smith Case. Sandy, Stephanie and the entire Smith family deserve to see justice in this case, which should have been solved in 2015.

So this is a big day — we hope a new day — in South Carolina. 

And stay tuned, we are just getting started...

The trial of Alex Murdaugh is coming to an end and soon the jury will deliver its verdict.

Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the best and worst moments of the last week of testimony — including Alex’s big reveal that he was, as we all knew, down at the kennel just minutes before his wife’s and son’s murders.

Turns out, Alex’s New Story about what happened that night sounds awfully familiar … not surprising given that it seemed almost entirely based on the evidence and testimony from the past five weeks.

The trial of Alex Murdaugh is now in its fifth week and the defense is trying its hardest to convince the jury that all of Alex’s big lies about what happened at Moselle that night don’t add up to life in prison. 

Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell unpack the state’s timeline and take a look at Maggie’s and Paul’s last day on earth, as well as all the ways Dick and Jim have allowed their client to paint them into a corner.

The third week of Alex Murdaugh’s murder trial started with a big blow to the defense after Judge Clifton Newman agreed to let the prosecution present evidence of the financial pressures Alex was facing at the time of the murders. Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down those pressures and how they factor into Alex’s alleged motive for the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. And then afterward, they talk about the elephant in the room …

The trial of Alex Murdaugh has begun and already a lot has been revealed about the night he allegedly killed his wife, Maggie, and son Paul. Co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell discuss how jury selection went, why Alex’s family was suddenly there, the 255 witnesses who might testify and what went down during opening statements — one was filled with Big Creighton Energy … the other was Dick Harpootlian.

The trial is expected to last through Feb. 10 and Murdaugh Murdaughs Podcast will be there for all of it.
