Did SLED Hide THIS From Alex Murdaugh's Own Prosecutor?!

Alex Murdaugh walked into a Lexington courtroom on August 14 wearing a dark blue suit and striped tie. It was the first time he appeared in civilian clothes since being sentenced for stealing twelve million dollars in November 2023. Judge McCaslin had ordered the change days earlier, ruling that showing a defendant in prison clothes and shackles for convictions not before her court risks prejudicing potential jurors. Murdaugh has pleaded not guilty to the murders of his wife Maggie and their son Paul.His defense team then won on nearly every front. McCaslin granted a venue change out of the 14th Judicial Circuit, where the Murdaugh family's ancestors served as chief prosecutors for most of the last century. She allowed independent testing of unknown male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and placed conditions on how prosecutors can use Murdaugh's sworn testimony from 2023, limiting it to testimony about the killings.McCaslin personally assumed control of jury selection after Dick Harpootlian raised concerns about when former clerk Becky Hill's interference with the original jury started. Hill pleaded guilty to perjury and obstruction after the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Murdaugh's conviction.Near the end of the hearing, the defense claimed weapons from a recent Allendale County homicide may be connected to the Murdaugh murder case. Lead prosecutor Creighton Waters said he had never heard of it. A motion to throw out the murder indictments over alleged evidence fabrication by SLED's lead case agent is still pending. Next hearing: November 14. Retrial: April 5, 2027.Links:Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
