Alex Murdaugh Wants to Be Judged By Charleston. What to Know About Friday’s Murdaugh Murders Hearing (TSP160)
from True Sunlight · host LUNASHARK®
Alex Murdaugh is due back in court for another hearing this week and investigative journalist Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are more ready than ever. In today’s episode Mandy and Liz share the highlights from the stack of filings made by Team Murdaugh and the prosecution ahead of the Aug. 14th hearing in front of Judge Debra McCaslin. Team Murdaugh's surprisingly polished 26-page motion to move the second murder trial of the century out of the 14th Circuit, and the state's pointed response asking what's so special about the Holy City top the list. The co-hosts also dig into the state's bombshell request for a never-before-seen extraction of Alex's phone data citing former clients’ permission to waive privilege, the fight over the DNA under Maggie's fingernails, and so much more.
