Convicted Killer Alex Murdaugh Gets a New Trial, the Legal Collapse of Trust | Profiling Evil

from Profiling Evil

The South Carolina Supreme Court has reversed Alex Murdaugh’s murder convictions and ordered a new trial, but this decision does not declare Murdaugh innocent, and it doesn’t erase the evidence presented at trial. What it does say is that the jury process was contaminated by improper influence from Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. What a horrible consequence of bad choices. Let’s break down the Court’s ruling point by point as I look at what Hill allegedly said to jurors, why the Court applied the Remmer presumption of prejudice, why the State failed to overcome that presumption, and what the Court said about using Murdaugh’s financial crimes as motive evidence in a second trial. This is still a case about murder, money, power, courtroom procedure, and public trust. But more than anything, this ruling is a reminder that even the most hated defendant is still entitled to a fair trial.#AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughTrial #MurdaughMurders #MaggieMurdaugh #PaulMurdaugh #RebeccaHill #SouthCarolinaSupremeCourt #TrueCrime #CourtroomDrama #JuryTampering #NewTrial #LegalAnalysis #CriminalBehavior #ProfilingEvil #CrimeNews #TrialWatch #JusticeSystem #Moselle #Lowcountry #TrueCrimeCommunity========================================20% OFF Newspapers.comhttps://www.newspapers.com/go/podcast/?ref=profilingevil?xid=8877&utm_source=ProfilingEvilPodcast&utm_medium=podcst&utm_campaign=ProfilingEvil26========================================Discounts on eBikes: https://aipasbike.com/?ref=PROFILINGEVILReferral Coupon Code: PROFILINGEVIL========================================Email your questions to: [email protected]========================================💳 DONATE: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=T54JX76RZ455S💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/profilingevil🕵️BECOME A MEMBER: https://www.youtube.com/profilingevil/join🛒SHOP MERCH: https://www.profilingevil.com/profilingevilshop📖SHOP BOOKS: https://www.profilingevil.com/storeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
