The courtroom heard from three boys who still can’t stand in front of Kouri Richins and speak. Their therapists did it for them — reading handwritten words about a childhood prosecutors say was defined by neglect, fear, locked doors, and a father taken by fentanyl.One child wrote about being forced to parent his younger siblings while the woman in the house disappeared with neighbors or stayed incapacitated.

Three years between the verdict and the reversal. In that time, the defense picked up a perjury conviction against the clerk who tampered with the jury and a Supreme Court opinion restricting the financial evidence that dominated the first trial. The prosecution picked up a complete transcript of Murdaugh’s testimony and additional time to refine its forensic case.Eric Faddis weighs the advantages from both sides. Murdaugh’s prior testimony is potentially the State’s most valuable asset — a

In late September 2025, the Austin Police Department announced a forensic breakthrough in the 1991 yogurt shop murders. Cold case detective Dan Jackson, who took over the investigation in 2022, resubmitted a .380 shell casing recovered from a floor drain at the crime scene to the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network. Improved software produced a match to an unsolved 1998 homicide in Kentucky. A subsequent Y-STR DNA search across national laboratories returned a complete 27-allele match

There may be one in your town. A charming restaurant with handcrafted furniture, homemade bread, and staff who seem unusually warm and attentive. There are at least thirty-three Yellow Deli locations worldwide, and every one of them is reportedly run by unpaid members of the Twelve Tribes — a group the SPLC classifies as a Christian fundamentalist cult.In this episode, Tony Brueski asks why the Twelve Tribes is still operating after fifty years of allegations spanning child discipline concerns,

True Crime Today | Daily True Crime News & Interviews ·

2026/05/15

The Supreme Court said the prosecution went "far too long and far too deep" into Alex Murdaugh’s financial crimes at the first trial. They singled out testimony with "zero probative value" on motive that existed only to make Murdaugh look like someone who takes advantage of the helpless. Any retrial has to be leaner. The question is whether lean is enough.Eric Fadds brings his prosecutorial experience to the problem. The State’s motive theory depends on a specific convergence of events in the days

A former Chief Justice of South Carolina evaluated Becky Hill’s jury conduct and concluded Alex Murdaugh wasn’t prejudiced. Five sitting Supreme Court justices looked at the same record and said she applied the wrong legal standard entirely.

Why didn’t she just leave? The question gets asked in every domestic violence case, every coercive control prosecution, every murder where the warning signs were visible to everyone except the person inside the relationship. The answer the public settles on almost always blames the victim.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has a different answer — one grounded in neuroscience, clinical experience, and three decades of working with survivors. In this full three-part interview with Tony Brueski, Scott

The defense has seen the FBI reports. They’ve seen the forensics. They’ve seen whatever is in the autopsy report the Miami-Dade medical examiner won’t release to the public. And after reviewing all of it, they’re not asking for more time. Anna Kepner’s trial starts June 1.Timothy Hudson, the sixteen-year-old stepbrother accused of killing Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon, signed a written waiver requesting adult prosecution — giving up a bench trial for a jury.

The window between deciding to leave and actually being gone is the most dangerous place a person can stand. Most people do not know that. Most people think the decision is the breakthrough — that once you have made up your mind, the hardest part is over. The data says the opposite.Maggie Murdaugh had reportedly already made that decision. According to reports, she had met with an attorney. She was living at the beach house. And on the night of June 7, 2021, when Alex asked her to come to Moselle,

After a jury convicted her unanimously on every count — including the fatal poisoning of her husband Eric Richins — Kouri Richins sent a message from jail to an unidentified "admirer." She promised to expose the judge, the prosecutors, the investigation, and Eric's entire family. She said they "picked the wrong one." And she signed off with a winking emoji and a threat: "They haven't seen anything yet."That message, revealed in the prosecution's sentencing memo, tells you everything about the woman

When Y-STR DNA testing revealed that the genetic material at the yogurt shop crime scene belonged to an unknown male — excluding all four accused men and over 130 other tested individuals — it should have been the end. Instead, it was the beginning of a 17-year limbo. Travis County DA Rosemary Lehmberg dismissed the charges against Springsteen and Scott in 2009 but issued a public statement affirming her belief in their guilt. No exoneration. No declaration of innocence. Just a release with

The most dangerous kind of erosion leaves no bruises and makes no noise. It works through small compromises that feel reasonable in the moment and catastrophic only in retrospect. And it can last decades without the person inside it ever realizing what has happened.This episode puts two cases side by side. Asa Ellerup was married to Rex Heuermann for 27 years and says she had no knowledge of the crimes he pleaded guilty to. Eric Richins told his family his wife Kouri would be to blame if he turned

She could name it. She told police her husband was grooming her. She took legal action. And according to the timeline, she went back. The assumption most people carry — that awareness is protection, that seeing the trap means you can escape it — collapses the moment you look at what happened to Mica Miller.A federal indictment alleges John-Paul Miller cyberstalked his estranged wife for 528 consecutive days. He has pleaded not guilty. But this conversation is not about the criminal case. It is

The trial proved guilt. It never explained how. James Lasdun's The Family Man does what no other Murdaugh book has attempted — it uses decades of criminal psychology research to build a framework for understanding how Alex crossed the line from liar and thief to the killer of his own wife and son.The book places Alex alongside documented family annihilators.
