Murdaugh Murders Podcast

Thank you for your patience as this episode is publishing later than usual. As I said on social media, our team is in adjustment mode after the adrenaline and the chaos of the trial slowed down and we’re all still trying to all recenter our focus.  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. In the short time since Alex Murdaugh was convicted of murdering his wife and son, a lot has happened in the wake of his sentencing. This week on Murdaugh Murders Podcast, co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell take a look at the latest criticism of the murder investigation and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division — as well as Jim Griffin’s strange post-trial social media presence and Russell Laffitte’s defeats in the courtroom. They also talk with Sandy Smith about the next steps in finding justice for her son, Stephen Smith. To learn more about the planned Independent Exhumation and Autopsy for Stephen, click here: http://bit.ly/3JGacec A private medical examiner must be present from the start of the exhumation through the examination period at a cost of approximately $750 per hour. It is a huge expense, but we are hoping that with your support we can make this happen and finally get the answers we need. If you can give, we thank you for your generosity. If you cannot give, we would appreciate you sharing and praying for justice for Stephen. We believe 2023 is Stephen's year. Thank you all again for the love and support. Consider joining our MMP Premium Membership community to help us SHINE THE 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... Consider joining our MMP Premium Membership community to help us SHINE THE SUNLIGHT!

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.
