Murdaugh Murders: The Empire Fights Back

from Newstalk Daily

The Murdaugh family once ruled South Carolina’s Lowcountry like a legal dynasty — generations of power, political influence, money, and fear. Then came the murders. Alex Murdaugh, the high-profile lawyer convicted of killing his wife Maggie and son Paul at the family’s sprawling hunting estate, is now heading for a possible retrial after his murder convictions were sensationally overturned. How did one of America’s most powerful Southern families collapse into allegations of fraud, addiction, corruption, and brutal double murder? And could the jury in the original trial have been improperly influenced? Ciara Doherty is joined by Mandy Matney — the journalist whose reporting turned the Murdaugh saga into a global true crime obsession. 🎧 Listen to True Sunlight here: https://truesunlight.com/
