The defense is building Alex Murdaugh’s retrial around evidence SLED collected and never fully analyzed: DNA from an unknown male found under Maggie Murdaugh’s left-hand fingernails. They want Othram — the lab behind the Kohberger identification — to run an independent analysis on a rush order.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke take the audience’s hardest questions head on. Is a proven liar’s denial worth anything? Does his voice on Paul’s phone at the kennels prove he’s the killer, or just that he was

Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions were overturned, and the retrial is now moving forward in front of a newly assigned judge. Before the first hearing, his defense team made its opening moves — and they tell you a lot about how this second trial is going to be fought.There are three motions. The defense wants the trial moved out of the five-county circuit where the Murdaugh name dominated the courts for generations. They want Murdaugh given a secure laptop to work through a mountain of sealed

When the Supreme Court erased Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions, Blanca drove straight to Maggie’s grave. Twenty years inside that household. Not staff — family. The person Maggie cried to behind closed doors. Blanca fixed Alex’s collar the morning of June 7th. She found the wet towel the next day. She gave every detail to a jury that convicted in three hours. Then Becky Hill destroyed the verdict.In her most revealing interview since the reversal, Blanca goes where the trial never went. She

The kennel video convicted Alex Murdaugh the first time. His voice at the dog kennels minutes before Maggie and Paul were shot. Multiple people identified that voice under oath. He admitted he lied about being there. The jury came back in three hours. Now Dick Harpootlian says his team has a counter. He won’t say what it is. But he said it on national television, which means he wants the potential jury pool to know it’s coming.On the other side, Creighton Waters just lost the narrative that told

The retrial hasn’t begun and the prosecution is already losing the people who built its case. Ryan Kelly, the SLED agent who testified as one of the state’s final witnesses at the 2023 murder trial, was fired from the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office on June 8, 2026. Kelly had been running the office’s internal affairs unit — investigating other officers’ misconduct — when allegations of harassment, unbecoming conduct, and improper procedures ended his tenure after a little over a year.At SLED,

The retrial of Alex Murdaugh for the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh is being shaped right now — in press conferences, in federal court filings, and in strategy signals neither side would normally make public. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta reads all of it through a lens most commentators don’t have.On the defense side: a stated plan for the kennel video, unknown male DNA under Maggie’s fingernails that was never submitted to CODIS, new forensic cell phone experts, eight thousand pages of

2026/06/24

There’s a reason the defense filed this lawsuit in federal court instead of state court. Federal rules let them run their own investigation in a way the murder case never allowed. They can force sworn interviews. They can demand documents that haven’t been made available through the criminal process. And they can pull in anyone connected to the Colleton County courthouse during the first trial — not just Becky Hill.Hill already pleaded guilty criminally. That established what she did.

The first time Creighton Waters stood in front of a jury and talked about Alex Murdaugh, he had twelve and a half hours of financial destruction to work with. Stolen money from vulnerable clients. Insurance fraud. A man who lied to everyone who ever trusted him. By the time the jury considered the murder evidence, they already knew exactly what kind of person was sitting at the defense table.The Supreme Court just shut that down. The justices said the financial crimes presentation was excessive and

Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin are doing something unusual for a defense team heading into a retrial — they’re telling everyone what they plan to do. Harpootlian said on national television that his team has a strategy for the kennel video, the single most damaging piece of evidence from the first trial. That video placed Alex’s voice at the Moselle kennels minutes before Maggie and Paul were killed. It forced Alex to admit he lied about his whereabouts. The first jury heard it and convicted in

The defense team says other suspects committed these murders. Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson — twenty years inside the Murdaugh household, a key prosecution witness at the first trial — agrees that other people were involved. And her agreement is the worst thing the defense could hear. Because Blanca isn’t saying someone else did it. She’s saying Alex always used someone else to do everything — and the murders fit the same pattern.Blanca’s theory is specific. She believes Alex had a Plan A that involved

Years before the South Carolina Supreme Court handed her the most closely watched murder retrial in the state's history, Judge Debra McCaslin stood before legislators and named the lawyers who left a mark on her career. One of them was Dick Harpootlian — the man who will stand at Alex Murdaugh's side when his double murder case goes back to trial for the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.The connection runs deeper than a compliment on the record.

The Murdaugh name appeared more than forty times in the original investigation of Stephen Smith's death in 2015. Stephen was a former classmate of Buster Murdaugh. He was found dead on a road miles from the Murdaugh family's hunting property. When SLED reopened the case six years later, they said it was because of evidence found during the Murdaugh murder investigation. They never revealed what that evidence was.Eric Bland has said publicly that he has no evidence the Murdaugh family was directly

He said it wasn't properly investigated. He said it changes the case.

And the financial crime victims who sat on that witness stand are now being told by the state's highest court that some of their testimony had "zero probative value." Eric Bland represented those victims. He's the attorney who exposed the financial schemes that prosecutors used as their entire theory of motive.

Alex Murdaugh finished law school at the University of South Carolina in 1994. The judge who now holds his future finished at the same school in 1993. Twelve months apart, same building, same degree — and two lives that could not have run in more opposite directions. He walked into a family firm with a century of Lowcountry power behind it. She walked out with law books other people had to buy for her, opened a solo practice, and spent twenty-five years grinding before the General Assembly ever put

Blanca Turrubiate-Simpson spent twenty years watching Alex Murdaugh use other people to do his work. Curtis Eddie Smith cashed four hundred thirty-seven checks totaling roughly $2.4 million. A network of enablers kept the financial machine running for years. Alex moved money through other people's hands. He used relationships as cover. He built deniability into every arrangement. He never did anything alone.So when the defense says "other suspects," Blanca doesn't flinch. She has her own theory —
