The conviction is reversed. The retrial is coming. And the case Alex Murdaugh faces the second time around is fundamentally different from the one that produced a guilty verdict in March 2023. Eric Faddis — who has tried cases from both the prosecution and defense side — provides the complete legal analysis.Faddis dissects the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling, from Toal’s reversed burden of proof to the Rule 606(b) violation to the court’s independent crediting of witness testimony that Toal tried

Both sides of the Murdaugh case gained leverage over the past three years — but the advantages cut in opposite directions. The defense has a Supreme Court opinion calling the first trial fundamentally unfair and a former clerk with a perjury conviction. The prosecution has a locked-in transcript of everything Murdaugh said under oath and three years of investigative refinement.Eric Faddis analyzes the strategic landscape. Murdaugh’s first-trial testimony creates a trap: testify again and face

Robert Eugene Brashers committed at least eight murders across Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas. He assaulted women and girls. He restrained them with their own clothing. He set fires to destroy evidence. And he walked in and out of the criminal justice system without anyone connecting his crimes. He died during a police standoff in 1999 at the age of 40. For 26 years after his death, his name meant nothing to anyone.Then, in 2025, a cold case detective named Dan Jackson resubmitted a

The evidence fills bookshelves. It spans hidden camera footage, court records, SPLC reports, FBI interviews, investigative journalism, and survivor memoirs. The group’s own published materials include a child discipline manual and racial teachings documented as white supremacist. And the Yellow Deli is still open.In this episode, Tony Brueski examines why the Twelve Tribes has operated for five decades without facing lasting institutional consequence in the United States.

2026/05/15

Twelve and a half hours. Ten days of trial. Ten witnesses. That is how much time the prosecution spent on Alex Murdaugh’s financial crimes the first time around. The South Carolina Supreme Court said the State could have made its motive argument in a fraction of that time — and ordered the next trial to do exactly that.Eric Fadds analyzes what the restriction means for the prosecution’s case. The motive theory has a specific spine: Murdaugh’s financial schemes were converging toward exposure in the

The Colleton County Clerk of Court told jurors not to be fooled by the defense. She told them to watch Alex Murdaugh’s movements. She signaled that deliberations should be quick. The South Carolina Supreme Court found every one of those comments credible and ruled unanimously that they destroyed the integrity of the verdict.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Fadds dissects the legal framework the court used to reach that conclusion. Former Chief Justice Jean Toal denied Murdaugh’s motion

This is the interview that changes how you see the Murdaugh case. James Lasdun's The Family Man spent years pulling threads that nobody else followed — and what he found reframes everything from the boat crash to the verdict.The book reveals that the accepted narrative of who was driving the boat the night Mallory Beach died may have been built after the fact. It traces Alex's manipulation patterns through the hospital that night, through the staged roadside shooting months later, through a $5,000

The good days are the trap. You disappear one compromise at a time. And the most dangerous moment is when you decide to go. That is the arc of this conversation — the full three-part interview with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott about the psychology the public refuses to accept.Four cases anchor the discussion: Mica Miller, who could name the trap and still went back. Asa Ellerup, who defended Rex Heuermann for three years before he confessed to eight murders. Eric Richins, who saw everything and

He wrote about a father who’ll never be at his graduation, never teach him to drive, never coach another game. And he wrote that the woman

June 1. Miami. Twelve jurors who have probably never heard Anna Kepner’s name will be asked to decide whether the person accused of killing her spends his life in federal prison. And the way this trial has been set up may surprise you as much as the verdict.Timothy Hudson’s defense team has not asked for a single continuance. The sixteen-year-old signed a written waiver requesting adult prosecution — trading a bench trial with no jury for the unpredictability of twelve citizens who each have to be

Everybody says just leave. As if it is one decision and then it is over. It is not. Leaving is a window. And everything the research tells us says that window is where the danger lives.Maggie Murdaugh had reportedly consulted a divorce attorney. She was living at the Edisto beach house. On June 7, two witnesses testified she did not want to go to Moselle when Alex asked her to come.

Three boys — ages nine, eleven, and thirteen — had their words read into the record by therapists because they couldn't face the woman convicted of killing their father. One described being locked in his room so often he can't remember which side the lock was on. Another described becoming a parent to his younger brother because their mother was drunk or gone. The youngest said hearing Kouri's name makes him feel "hateful and ashamed."Every one of them asked the judge for the same thing: keep her

Michael Scott lost his family. His daughter was three when he was arrested. His wife. His anniversary. Gone — not because of anything he did, but because detectives sat a man with learning disabilities in a room for 18 hours until he said what they wanted to hear. Robert Springsteen survived death row, had his sentence commuted, his conviction overturned, and his charges dropped — only to have the DA publicly declare she still thought he was guilty. He didn’t attend his own exoneration hearing

The Twelve Tribes reportedly designed a world where leaving meant losing everything. And according to former members, that was not a side effect. It was the point.In this episode, Tony Brueski examines what happens after the escape. Former members describe walking out of Twelve Tribes compounds with no savings, no identification, no work history, and no understanding of how to navigate a world they were raised to believe was evil.

Nobody wakes up one morning and realizes they have lost themselves. It happens in increments so small they feel like nothing — an opinion you stop voicing, a friendship you let go, a boundary you move because moving it is easier than defending it. The erosion is invisible until the day you catch your own reflection and do not recognize who is looking back.This conversation puts two cases side by side that should not have the same outcome but do.

The worst moments in an abusive relationship are not what keep you there. The best ones are. The relief after the storm. The version of your partner who seems to understand what they did. That cycle rewires your nervous system in ways that have nothing to do with intelligence, willpower, or self-respect. And it is the reason Mica Miller could tell police her husband was grooming her and still go back.According to a federal indictment, JPM allegedly cyberstalked Mica for over a year — tracking

It reads like the work of a State trying to keep three judges from ever opening the trial record.The defense brought specifics. The van timeline contradicted by FBI cell data.
