Ryan Kelly told Alex Murdaugh's jury that nothing tied alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders of Maggie and Paul. In June 2026, he was fired from a Charleston County internal affairs job. The records don't describe the allegations, and nothing currently links the firing to his SLED work or the Murdaugh case. Tony Brueski lays out exactly what's known and what isn't. The timing matters because of what else surfaced the same week. On August 5, 2026, Murdaugh's defense filed a Brady motion demanding prosecutors search every file, agency, and personnel record connected to the case and swear in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh is being withheld. It leans heavily on lead investigator David Owen's record: a 2015 murder case where a judge later quashed the indictment because the state sat on favorable evidence for nearly a decade, including a mother's account that Owen denied under oath. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to weigh whether the defense's demand is a fishing expedition or something this investigation has earned. She also addresses the white shirt Murdaugh wore the night of the murders, which tested negative for human blood before a chemical used in SLED's own testing left it permanently unusable for any further analysis. The same day the motion was filed, a federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against former clerk Becky Hill, whose jury tampering overturned his original convictions. Hill has pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct and received no prison time. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments on the Brady motion August 14, 2026. Murdaugh is presumed innocent ahead of his 2027 retrial.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
David Owen led the SLED investigation that put Alex Murdaugh behind bars. Years earlier he led another murder investigation that a judge later threw out entirely, and on the stand in that case, Owen denied something a grieving mother says she told him directly. Tony Brueski lays out what that denial was and why it's surfacing again now. In June 2025, a South Carolina judge quashed the indictment in State v. Colucci after ruling the state sat on favorable evidence for nearly a decade. The victim's mother testified she told Owen in 2015 that her daughter had spoken about ending her own life, testimony directly relevant to the case and something Owen said under oath never happened. That history now sits at the center of a Brady motion Murdaugh's defense filed on August 5, 2026, demanding prosecutors search every file, agency, and personnel record tied to the case and confirm in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh remains hidden. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer weighs whether the motion is a fishing expedition or something this investigation has genuinely earned. She also addresses agent Ryan Kelly, who told Murdaugh's jury nothing connected alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders and was fired from an unrelated Charleston County job in June 2026. The episode also covers the physical evidence fight over the shirt Murdaugh wore the night Maggie and Paul were killed, tested negative for blood and then rendered permanently untestable, and the recent dismissal of Murdaugh's lawsuit against Becky Hill, the clerk whose jury tampering overturned his original convictions. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments on the motion August 14, 2026. Murdaugh is presumed innocent ahead of his 2027 retrial.

Alex Murdaugh's defense wants a South Carolina judge to order something rare: a full search of every file, agency, and personnel record connected to his case, across ten categories, with prosecutors swearing in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh remains hidden. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments on that motion August 14, 2026. Tony Brueski breaks down what's actually being asked for, and why. The motion leans on the record of lead investigator David Owen, who led the Murdaugh case and, years earlier, a separate 2015 murder investigation a judge later quashed after ruling the state withheld favorable evidence for nearly a decade, including a mother's account Owen denied under oath. It also notes agent Ryan Kelly, who told Murdaugh's jury nothing tied alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders before being fired from an unrelated Charleston County job in June 2026. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to weigh whether the demand is a fishing expedition or something this investigation has genuinely earned, and covers the fight over the white shirt Murdaugh wore the night Maggie and Paul were killed, tested negative for human blood, then rendered permanently untestable by a chemical used in SLED's own analysis. All of this comes days after a federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against former clerk Becky Hill, whose jury tampering overturned his original convictions. Hill has pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct and received no prison time. Murdaugh is presumed innocent heading into his April 2027 retrial, and this motion may decide what the jury does or doesn't get to see.

The white shirt Alex Murdaugh wore the night Maggie and Paul were killed was supposed to settle the question of blood spatter. SLED's own testing came back negative for human blood, then a chemical applied during that testing destroyed the shirt's usability for good. No retest. No second lab. Ever. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer tells Tony Brueski straight whether she buys that as an accident. That single piece of evidence sits inside a much bigger picture this episode lays out in full. A federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against former clerk Becky Hill on August 5, 2026, ruling he'd have paid for his defense regardless of her jury tampering. Hill has pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct tied to a book photo, self-paid bonuses, and lying about sealed exhibits, and walked away with no prison time. The same day, Murdaugh's defense filed a Brady motion demanding prosecutors search every file, agency, and personnel record connected to the case and swear in writing that nothing favorable remains hidden. The motion leans on lead investigator David Owen's history: a separate 2015 murder case where a judge quashed the indictment after the state withheld evidence for nearly a decade, and where Owen denied under oath something the victim's mother says she told him directly. Coffindaffer also addresses agent Ryan Kelly, who told Murdaugh's jury nothing tied alternate suspect Eddie Smith to the murders before he was fired from an unrelated job this year. Judge Debra McCaslin hears arguments August 14, 2026. Murdaugh is presumed innocent heading into his 2027 retrial, and this episode asks whether the investigation deserves that same presumption.

Three cases. One live conversation. And a chat that is not going to agree on any of them. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski for a Hidden Killers Live triple covering Nancy Guthrie, Alex Murdaugh, and Lindsay Clancy: three investigations where the loudest question is aimed at the investigators.The Guthrie segment is built on Coffindaffer's own blockchain trace, run after the Pima County Sheriff's Office accidentally released the alleged kidnapper's Bitcoin wallet address. What she found: no ransom was ever paid. The only deposit in the wallet's history is roughly three hundred dollars from the FBI. Messages written directly to that wallet, a standing line to whoever took Nancy, were never answered. Why does someone who allegedly demanded four million dollars go silent? The room gets that one.The Murdaugh segment starts with the question his audience keeps yelling: why isn't Becky Hill in prison? Her jury interference forced the retrial; her guilty plea covered a book photo, self-paid bonuses, and sealed exhibits, with no prison time, and a federal judge just dismissed Murdaugh's lawsuit against her. Then the new defense motion demanding SLED's files be certified clean in writing, the fired agent whose word cleared Eddie Smith, and the shirt that tested negative for human blood before becoming untestable forever. Accident or convenience — the chat votes.The Clancy segment takes week two head-on: the defense stipulating to the forensics, the state's calm-patient snapshot from six days after the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan, and the diary both sides claim proves their case. Can a mind be organized enough to plan and still be broken? Bring your answer.Murdaugh and Clancy are presumed innocent. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Pull up a chair. This one runs hot.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2025, a judge threw out the murder indictment against a man named Michael Colucci after finding that evidence which could have helped him was never properly disclosed. That case is connected to David Owen — the same investigator who ran the Alex Murdaugh murder investigation. Sit with that overlap for a second, because Alex Murdaugh's defense team clearly has. Their new motion demands prosecutors go back through every file SLED touched and certify in writing that nothing favorable to Murdaugh is still sitting in a drawer.On this True Crime Today conversation, Tony Brueski puts the uncomfortable question to retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer: if it happened in the Colucci case, who's checking whether it happened here, besides SLED itself? Coffindaffer spent her career inside federal investigations. She knows what a real evidence audit looks like and what agencies do when one is forced on them. She also knows the difference between a defense attorney who's fishing and one who already knows something is missing.The Owen question is one thread in a week that moved this case twice. A federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against Becky Hill, the former clerk whose jury interference forced the retrial, ruling she owes him nothing because he'd have paid his lawyers regardless. Hill's guilty plea covered a book photo, self-paid bonuses, and lying about sealed exhibits. No prison. Nothing for the tampering. Coffindaffer also works through the fired agent whose testimony cleared Eddie Smith, and the white shirt that tested negative for human blood before a lab chemical made it untestable forever.Murdaugh is presumed innocent, and his April retrial will settle what a jury believes. This episode settles something else: whether the file that jury gets handed can be trusted.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In 2015, a mother sat for an interview with a SLED agent investigating her daughter Sara's death. She later testified that she told him something that changed the picture — that Sara had talked about ending her own life, in the place and manner she died. Ten years later, that interview helped sink a murder case. The agent was David Owen, the same investigator who led the case against Alex Murdaugh.Tony Brueski connects the collapse of the Michael Colucci prosecution to the Brady motion Murdaugh's defense filed August 5, 2026. Judge Roger Young threw out Colucci's indictment in June 2025, ruling the state failed to disclose the mother's account for nearly a decade. Owen testified he was never told. The judge sent prosecutors back to the grand jury with instructions to bring a fuller case.Murdaugh's lawyers didn't put Owen's name in their motion. They didn't need names. The filing demands updated personnel files, internal affairs records, and misconduct findings on every officer who touched the investigation — along with new witness deals, changed statements, and a written promise from prosecutors that nothing favorable to Murdaugh sits in a drawer. It also reaches SLED's files on the Eddie Smith roadside shooting and the narcotics investigation.The state will get to answer, and the likely answer is that this is a fishing trip built on cases that aren't this one. Judge Debra McCaslin hears it August 14, 2026. Alex Murdaugh, presumed innocent, goes to retrial in April 2027 for the murders of Maggie and Paul. The question this episode leaves behind is the one the defense is betting on: how much do you trust the file?END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Alex Murdaugh's lawyers just filed a motion that doesn't name one hidden document or one lying witness. Instead it demands something bigger: that prosecutors search ten categories of material — witness deals, disciplinary files, lab records, everything — and then swear in writing that nothing helpful to Murdaugh exists beyond what they've already turned over. Put your name on it. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer spent a career inside federal investigations. On this episode of Hidden Killers, she tells Tony Brueski what a demand like that actually does inside an agency, and whether Dick Harpootlian is fishing or hunting.The motion didn't land in a vacuum. It landed one day after a federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against Becky Hill, the former clerk whose jury interference got his murder convictions overturned. Hill pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct: charges built on a book-promotion photo, self-paid bonuses, and lying about sealed exhibits. She received no prison time. The tampering itself was never charged. Coffindaffer confronts the piece of that story that won't sit still: SLED investigated Hill while SLED's own biggest conviction depended on her verdict surviving.And SLED's record is exactly why the written-certification demand has teeth. Lead investigator David Owen is connected to a separate murder case a judge dismissed after finding evidence that could have helped the defendant was never properly disclosed. Agent Ryan Kelly, whose testimony cleared Eddie Smith of any connection to the killings, was fired this June from a sheriff's office internal affairs job. The firing is unrelated to his SLED work, but his file now sits inside the defense's demand. Then there's the shirt: negative for human blood, then chemically rendered untestable forever.April's retrial will decide Murdaugh's fate. This conversation is about who audits the people who decided it the first time.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's Monday, August 10th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Sudanese armed executed pastor and 6 others extrajudicially A pastor in Sudan's Nuba Mountains was executed extrajudicially, along with six other people, after members of an armed faction arrested him at his church residence in the town of Heban, reports The Christian Post. The Rev. Adil Jangoul, of the Sudanese Episcopal Church, was detained on July 23 inside the church compound in Heban's Erie neighborhood, where he lived, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Members of the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement-North, an armed group in the region, seized his money and arrested him without incident. However, his body was later found on a road alongside those of six other people, all from the Otoro ethnic group, most of whom are Christian. All seven had been killed in extrajudicial executions. Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said he was deeply troubled by the rising bloodshed, some of it apparently ethnically motivated. He called the killings especially perplexing because the Nuba Mountains had long been a place of peaceful co-existence, even through Sudan's dictatorship and the civil war. Send a polite, 3-sentence note to the Sudanese Ambassador to America, Mohamed Idris, asking that their government do more to protect the Sudanese Christians. Send it to: 2210 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008 or email: consular@sudanembassy.org. James 4:17 says, “So whoever knows the right thing to do, and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” Senate Confirms Todd Blanche as Attorney General President Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche, was confirmed in a late night vote in the Senate after a handful of fellow Republicans reconsidered their opposition, reports The Epoch Times. Blanche was confirmed in a 50–49 vote in the early hours of August 8th, with Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voting in opposition. The deciding vote was cast by GOP Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who announced on Friday that he believed Blanche was the best option that Trump would put forward. GOP Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky did not vote because he is still recuperating from an illness. Fauci subpoenaed by 3 GOP AGs for profiting from COVID guidance Following two disastrous U.S. Senate hearings in as many weeks and publication of his personal diary, Dr. Anthony Fauci has now been subpoenaed by three Republican state attorneys general seeking to determine whether he personally profited from guidance he issued during the COVID-19 pandemic, reports LifeSiteNews.com. While President Joe Biden gave the COVID kahuna a blanket pardon stretching from 2014 to the final day of his presidency, that pardon protects Fauci only from federal prosecution, leaving him exposed to potential legal actions from the states. Last Wednesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that his state has teamed up with West Virginia and Louisiana to investigate “awards, professional opportunities, financial incentives, grants, and COVID-19 guidance that impacted Florida businesses and consumers.” Uthmeier said that Fauci's diaries “detail substantial awards” connected to the Sunshine State, including a $900,000 Dan David Foundation prize. The Florida Attorney General also cited other troubling ways Fauci may have personally profited from his handling of COVID, such as “offers of named professorships and book deals, board positions, private foundation partnerships, and other professional and financial opportunities concurrent with his federal role and public recommendations impacting Florida.” The once self-proclaimed “most famous scientist in the world” who obtained secular sainthood status during the pandemic has faced a sudden reversal of fortune this summer. In the words of Victor Davis Hanson, “The Fauci files reveal not just a sociopathic narcissist but also a pathological schizophrenic.” And Fox News host Laura Ingraham alleged that during his time as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, Fauci was “a liar, a megalomaniac, a phony, and a total narcissist all rolled into one.” Senator Fetterman takes issue with anti-Israel Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Appearing on CNN, Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, one of the few Democrats who supports Israel, took issue with Abdul El-Sayed, the newly selected Muslim Democratic nominee to the U.S. Senate from Michigan. Listen. FETTERMAN: “I can't come together with someone if you are willing to embrace people that that loves Hamas or that thinks America deserved 9/11. I think that's reasonable. I think that's the reasonable view. That's not a big tent situation. There are things that are unacceptable to have these views as a Democrat, I think.” Inspiring CEO gives company to charity after working 58 years And finally, Grady-White Boats market their 18 to 45-foot-long vessels as the “finest boats ever crafted” which is quite the statement. For 58 years, Eddie Smith Jr., Grady-White's ex-CEO, worked 80-100 hour workweeks to salvage the near-bankrupt boat builder and turn it into a 9-figure revenue generator that will now power philanthropy in perpetuity, reports GoodNewsNetwork.org. That's because Smith turned down multiple offers around half a billion dollars in order to pass controlling stakes in Grady-White Boats to a “purpose trust” that will operate it according to his values and convert its bottom line into community service, conservation, and other philanthropic causes. Profiled by Fortune Magazine, Smith said he was inspired by entrepreneurs like Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, who also turned the brand into a financial engine for conservation. He said, “I just think that those of us that are fortunate enough to be in a position to help others…It's really a gift to me to be able to do what I do.” Born to a father who was orphaned at age 10 during the Great Depression, Smith Jr. grew up near the poverty line. The first break was when his father worked enough odd jobs to start a mail order business. The son, who remembers eating SPAM 3 times a week, then lied about his age to get a job on a paper route, before becoming the first in his family to graduate from college at the University of North Carolina in 1965. Finding Grady-White Boats in a near-bankrupt state, Smith Jr., who described himself as having an “entrepreneurial itch” to prove himself, borrowed some money and took over the business, forsaking golf, his favorite pastime, for over 30 years. Today, revenues average over $100 million per year. When he was given an award known as the Order of the Tar Heel, the highest honor in North Carolina by the state's Labor Commissioner, Eddie Smith was characteristically humble. Listen. SMITH: “Any honor that I am fortunate enough to receive, I receive on behalf of all these wonderful people. You're looking out right there at some of the best craftsmen and most dedicated workers, not only in North Carolina, but I would say in the world. Any accolades that come my way come my way because of them and what they've accomplished here at Grady White.” 1 Peter 5:6 says, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, August 10th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

The Brady motion filed August 5, 2026, is the widest evidence demand of the Alex Murdaugh retrial so far, and this breakdown goes category by category. The filing renews the defense's July 2022 discovery request and stacks ten new categories on top: new or modified witness deals, statements that contradict old ones, updated disciplinary and internal affairs files, DNA and forensic developments down to analyst proficiency tests and software, fresh search warrants, and post-trial material touching the verdict's integrity. It reaches SLED's Eddie Smith roadside-shooting file and the narcotics investigation. And it asks Judge Debra McCaslin to make prosecutors certify in writing — within thirty days — that a diligent, current search found nothing else favorable to the defense.Tony Brueski lays out why that certification matters more than it sounds. If the state signs it and favorable evidence surfaces at trial, the defense holds the evidence and the state's own paper saying it didn't exist. The Colucci case shows the stakes: a June 2025 quash order, a decade of undisclosed evidence, and David Owen — Moselle's lead investigator — testifying he was never told what a witness swore she gave him in 2015. Ryan Kelly's June 2026 firing from a Charleston County internal affairs post gets the same careful treatment: records don't describe the conduct, and nothing links it to SLED or to this case.Attorney General Alan Wilson's office hasn't responded; the first hearing on the motion is set for August 14, 2026, in Lexington County. McCaslin can grant it, narrow it, or deny it. Murdaugh is presumed innocent, with retrial set for April 2027. If you're following the retrial gavel to gavel, this is the filing that shapes everything after it.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

South Carolina taxpayers are about to fund a second Alex Murdaugh murder trial because Becky Hill talked to a jury while selling a book about the case. That means a new prosecution, courthouse security, and months of court time. On August 5, a federal judge ruled Hill owes Murdaugh nothing for the first one. His $600,000 lawsuit against the former clerk is dismissed, on the logic that he'd have paid his defense lawyers whether she tampered or not. She pleaded guilty in December to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct: charges about a book photo, bonuses, and sealed exhibits, not the tampering. She received no prison time. She keeps whatever the book made. Everyone is paying for what happened in that courtroom except the person who caused it.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to work through that math, and through the second filing that landed a day later. Murdaugh's defense is demanding prosecutors search every file, every witness deal, and every disciplinary record, then certify in writing that nothing favorable to him remains hidden. The motion names no specific missing evidence. It doesn't have to — the state's record does the arguing. Lead investigator David Owen is connected to a separate murder case dismissed over undisclosed evidence. Agent Ryan Kelly, who cleared Eddie Smith on the stand, was fired this June from an internal affairs job for unrelated and undisclosed reasons. And the white shirt at the center of the forensic case tested negative for human blood before a testing chemical destroyed any chance of a second opinion.Coffindaffer answers the questions this channel's audience has been asking all week: why Hill isn't in prison, who searches SLED besides SLED, and whether the shirt was ruined by accident. Murdaugh is presumed innocent. April will test the case. This episode tests the casework.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Ryan Kelly stood between Eddie Smith and the Murdaugh murder case. On the stand at the first trial, the SLED agent said there was none whatsoever — zero evidence connecting Smith to the killings of Maggie and Paul. That clearance held for three years. Now Kelly is out of law enforcement, fired in June from his internal affairs job at the Charleston County Sheriff's Office after an investigation into harassment and conduct allegations. To be fair: the public records don't describe what he did, and nothing ties his firing to his SLED work. But Alex Murdaugh's defense is demanding disciplinary files on every officer connected to this case, and Kelly's file is sitting right there.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski on Hidden Killers Live to answer the question underneath all of it. Did anyone ever actually rule out Eddie Smith, or did one agent's word become the whole clearance?The conversation runs through both filings that just reshaped this case. A federal judge dismissed Murdaugh's $600,000 lawsuit against Becky Hill on August 5, ruling the former clerk owes him nothing for his defense costs even though her jury interference triggered the retrial. Hill pleaded guilty to obstruction, perjury, and misconduct, none of it for the tampering itself, and received no prison time. And the defense's new motion demands prosecutors certify in writing that no favorable evidence remains buried in any file, any agency, any lab.Coffindaffer also takes the shirt head-on: SLED testing negative for human blood, then a chemical that made retesting impossible forever. Accident or convenience: she picks a side, and the chat will pick theirs.Murdaugh is presumed innocent with an April retrial coming. Bring your read on Eddie Smith. This one gets loud.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alex Murdaugh Appeal EXPOSED: Jury Tampering, Flawed Forensics, & Missing Evidence The Alex Murdaugh case is back in the spotlight — not because of new charges, but because of an explosive appeal that could rewrite the ending of one of the most notorious murder trials in South Carolina history. In December 2024, Murdaugh's defense team filed a 132-page appeal with the South Carolina Supreme Court, claiming his double murder trial was “infected with unfairness” from start to finish. The allegations are staggering: jury tampering by former court clerk Becky Hill, the use of questionable forensic evidence, the admission of six days of testimony about unrelated financial crimes, and the discovery of previously unseen text messages between Murdaugh and longtime associate Curtis “Eddie” Smith. At the heart of the appeal is Hill's alleged interference with jurors — comments she's accused of making during the trial, urging them not to believe Murdaugh's testimony. Hill has since been arrested on perjury, obstruction, and misconduct charges, but not for jury tampering itself. The defense says this is enough to demand a new trial. The State says it's inappropriate but not enough to overturn the verdict. The forensic fights are just as intense, with the defense attacking shell casing toolmark analysis and an unscientific “iPhone toss” demonstration used to rebut their theory of a third-party culprit. And now, the Eddie Smith texts have thrown fuel on the fire, with the defense claiming they were never disclosed. The State's response is due any day now. Oral arguments could happen this fall, but a ruling may not come until 2026. If the convictions fall, it won't mean Murdaugh is declared innocent — it will mean the court decided the trial itself wasn't fair. #AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #TrueCrime #BeckyHill #EddieSmith #SouthCarolina #CourtroomDrama #LegalUpdate #MurdaughMurders #Justice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://honeylove.com/LAWNERD ! #honeylovepod #ad In the Alex Murdaugh case, his defense attorney, Dick Harpootlian, is claiming new, exculpatory evidence was not turned over to the defense during the trial. They are text messages between Murdaugh and Eddie Smith. This is in addition to the ongoing appeal of the murder conviction based on allegations that the clerk of court, Becky Hill, influenced the jury. This could mean that a new murder trial can occur. However, Murdaugh will remain in prison for decades due to his multiple financial crime convictions. The gag order has been lifted in the Bryan Kohberger case and his sentencing is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23rd. While he waived his right to appeal, he can still file one, though it is unlikely to change his predetermined four consecutive life sentences. Tom Girardi has reported to prison as of July 17th, 2025, despite his attempts to delay. Court documents indicate that his motion for bond pending appeal will be heard in September, but the attorneys agreed he would go into custody in the interim. Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers are divorcing. Denise has filed for and received a temporary restraining order, alleging physical violence. The LA County court system is currently down online and I will cover this more in-depth once all court documents are available RESOURCES Bryan Kohberger Stream July 10 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy9rHg9m4xk Alex Murdaugh Appeal - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HKNZBInEso First Girardi Stream - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qn16T4ySkec The Emily Show July 14 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysy5bvjKuac Alex Murdaugh Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gJUHo2XsVhGNBhaMdx9B_cq Learn more about your ad choices.

Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the action, noting three positives and three negatives, including the variance in left-handed pitchers Caden Hunter and Mason Edwards as well as the Trojans' top left-handed hitter, Brayden Dowd, again putting a ball over the fence. After a break, USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz then joins the show to talk about trying to bounce back from a poor weekend at this point in the season along with how he assesses and adapts to fatigue late in the season, especially with the Trojans having to travel so much this season without a home field while playing in the Big Ten for the first time.

USC's head coach also talks about the unique challenges this time of year presents with finals leading into conference tournaments and the transfer portal about to open. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans stand after their first series loss since the opening weekend of Big Ten play and seeing their RPI slip down to No. 42.

How often does one admit to crimes, especially grave financial misdeeds, in order to influence where they will serve their prison sentence? This seems to be the burning question surrounding Alex Murdaugh, the scandal-ridden lawyer with a tangled web of alleged transgressions. In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast with Tony Brueski, former Federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani discussed the shocking plea of Alex Murdaugh. The embattled lawyer recently admitted to 22 financial crimes, marking the first time he has ever stood in front of a judge and confessed. However, the gravity intensifies as over a hundred charges remain on the table. Rahmani noted, "He stole the money, I mean, engaging in his fraudulent scheme... involving the housekeeper and so forth. And, you know, his co-defendant pled and got 20 years. There's no question he was going to be convicted on the fraud case." With such clarity on Murdaugh's guilt in the fraud case, it raises the question of why Murdaugh decided to plead now. Rahmani has a theory. "Most of the time, those federal prisons tend to be a little bit nicer," Rahmani explained. "So that could actually be part of the strategy here because I think that's been a big surprise to everybody that he's admitting anything." This isn't an unprecedented tactic. Derek Chauvin once attempted a similar move, hoping to serve time in federal prison rather than state. However, this isn't the first time Murdaugh has been mired in controversy. Beyond the financial crimes, he's been connected to a murder trial, a puzzling situation involving a man named Eddie Smith, and even bizarre allegations of orchestrating his own attempted death to manipulate a life insurance payout. "Murdaugh is a professional insurance scammer," Rahmani highlighted, a statement that further underscores the perplexity of the case. And then there's the troubling admission allegedly made by Murdaugh to Eddie Smith, hinting at his responsibility in the deaths of Maggie and Paul. Should there be another trial, such a confession, if proven true, could weigh heavily on the outcome. On the potential for a retrial, Rahmani speculated that new evidence could push the defense in a fresh direction, away from their previously unsuccessful approach. Nonetheless, with the weight of the financial crimes conviction looming, the future looks grim for Murdaugh. Rahmani muses on the chances of a different strategy, saying, "You gotta try something different. It's hard because, you know, obviously, Alex has locked himself into this testimony... They got to come up with something else." In the grand scheme, with life sentences and a deteriorating reputation, the final outcomes of these trials may appear inconsequential. But for a man whose life has spiraled from privilege to scandal, every decision now holds a profound significance. So, in a world where admitting guilt might be a strategy, where truth intertwines with deception, one has to ask: Is the justice system truly adept at discerning the two, or are there masterminds like Alex Murdaugh who can manipulate it to their advantage?

Murders, embezzlements, and shocking accusations - the tale of the Murdaugh family, once regarded as legal royalty in South Carolina, reads more like a crime thriller than real life. The newest revelations from Netflix's documentary, shining a light on the family's darkest secrets, begs the question: Just how deep does the twisted web of deceit run in this seemingly cursed dynasty? A recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," hosted by Tony Brueski, delved into this very topic, engaging with Clinical and Forensic Psychologist and licensed Private Investigator, Joni Johnston. One of the newest revelations involves the 'Curtis cutting cousin', Eddie Smith. In the documentary, when Eddie was questioned about the incident where Alex Murdaugh alleged that Smith tried to kill him upon his request, he provided a chilling response. Eddie claimed that Alec had confided in him about his fears: "They're going to be able to prove that I'm responsible for Maggie and Paul." Johnston remarks on this revelation, “It's the elephant in the room. It absolutely could be true.” However, the veracity of this claim remains in question, given Eddie Smith's reputation. Brueski highlights the inconsistency, noting, “Eddie's already kind of proven not to be that credible. It's like, what do you believe out of Eddie?” Further complicating the matter is Alec's recent admittance of guilt, a decision to plead guilty to 22 federal charges, including wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Johnston contemplates this sudden change in Alec's stance, suggesting it's more about his self-interest and less about moral awakening. "Either that or he is starting to become more concerned about his reputation...I can promise you there's a self-interest involved here." Yet, the family's intricate web of lies and deceit seems to have historical roots. An interview with Paul Murdaugh's former girlfriend in the documentary provides a shocking account of family patriarch, Randolph Murdaugh. During a marital dispute, Randolph went to the extreme of publishing his wife, Miss Libby's obituary in the local newspaper, despite her being alive – a chilling power play to dissuade her from pursuing a divorce. When posed with the question about the psychology of such a family, where such actions were normalized, Johnston reflects on the values instilled. “It certainly speaks to this level of self-interest. Narcissism. I'm going to get what I want. No matter who gets hurt.” Johnston elaborates that these behaviors, having been witnessed by their offspring, perpetuates a cycle of values misaligned with societal norms. Diving deeper into this psychology, Johnston provides a perspective on why such individuals might not feel shame for their actions. “If those are your values, shame wouldn't come into it at all.” This statement underscores a profound disconnect between personal values and broader societal standards, highlighting the extent of the Murdaugh family's alleged detachment from societal norms. While the Murdaugh family saga continues to unravel, revealing layers of secrets and manipulation, one can't help but wonder: How did such a prominent family spiral into this abyss? What drove them to these extremes? And most importantly, were they always destined for this grim fate, or was it a product of generational values gone awry? With the world watching and waiting for the next twist in this riveting saga, one must ask: If the sins of the father are indeed visited upon the son, what legacy does the Murdaugh family leave behind?

The Murdaugh family of South Carolina has been a powerful and respected presence in the community for generations, with many members serving as solicitors and lawyers. However, recent events and allegations have cast a shadow over the family's reputation, leading to a reexamination of their past actions and the culture that enabled them. In a recent episode of the podcast "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski and author John Glatt discuss the Murdaugh family, focusing on Alex Murdaugh and his upbringing. Glatt, who has spoken to people close to the family, describes Alex as being "spoiled rotten" and "entitled" from a young age, an attitude that he carried into adulthood. He recounts stories of Alex's wild behavior, including an incident at a strip club that led to a fight and police intervention, only for the officers to let Alex go upon realizing who he was. This special treatment contributed to Alex's belief that he was above the law, a mindset that may have contributed to his ultimate downfall. Glatt suggests that Alex's sense of entitlement, coupled with a 20-year addiction to opiates, may have led to the series of events that culminated in multiple criminal charges against him. Alex has been indicted for drug possession, drug dealing, and drug manufacturing, among other charges. While the role of drugs in the Murdaugh family saga is still unfolding, there have long been questions about the family's involvement in the drug trade. Alex paid his cousin Eddie Smith thousands of dollars for drugs, and there is speculation that the family may have been involved in drug smuggling. This remains unconfirmed, but as Glatt notes, the numerous upcoming trials will likely shed more light on the matter. Alcohol also played a significant role in the Murdaugh family dynamic. Alex's children, Buster and Paul, were exposed to alcohol from a young age and encouraged to drink by their parents. This permissive attitude towards alcohol contributed to a culture of excess and recklessness that ultimately proved disastrous. Paul was heavily intoxicated at the time of a boat crash that resulted in the death of Mallory Beach, an incident that marked the beginning of the end for the Murdaugh family's once unassailable reputation. The conversation also touches on the role of nature versus nurture in shaping Alex's behavior. While it's unclear whether Alex has a mental disorder that contributed to his actions, the combination of a potentially natural chemical imbalance, special treatment from a young age, and a long-term addiction to opiates created a perfect storm that may have led to the creation of a "monster." The fall of the Murdaugh family is a story of privilege, entitlement, and a lack of accountability that spanned generations. The upcoming trials will hopefully provide more answers and a measure of justice for those affected by the actions of Alex Murdaugh and his family. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
