Today we're keeping it light, mostly with scenes of horrific violence, all of which evoke a paradoxical sensation, a strange weightlessness like you feel at the top of a rollercoaster. This is THE LIGHT TOUCH. Think Wade Gustafson's jacket expelling feathers in Fargo, or Moon's God-fearing monologue in True Grit. We conclude with a deep dive into the ending of Raising Arizona, which is perhaps the ultimate manifestation of a lightness that's unreliable yet unshakeable. We also discuss the multitude of Lump-like characters in the Coens ouvre, and follow up on our Point of View episode with some rad listener contributions from the Discord!Coens covered: Fargo, The Man Who Wasn't There, The Ladykillers, True Grit, Raising ArizonaPlus: Night of the HunterWant to join the study group?

The South Carolina Supreme Court heard Alex Murdaugh's double murder appeal today. The justices asked sharp, pointed questions — and nearly all of them were aimed at the prosecution. The hearing covered both tracks of the appeal: Becky Hill's alleged jury tampering and whether the trial court committed reversible evidentiary errors. On both, the state was on its heels. Justice James opened by raising the egg juror affidavit Justice Toal excluded. Chief Justice Kittredge pointed out that Toal's written order never addressed the allegation that Hill instructed jurors not to be fooled by Murdaugh's testimony. He called the corroboration between juror accounts and independent witnesses "striking." Hill has since been convicted of perjury, obstruction, and misconduct — a development that wasn't part of the record when Toal ruled. Justice Few challenged Waters: how do you characterize someone as "not completely credible" when her own guilty plea proves she's a perjurer? The defense argued Toal used the wrong legal standard entirely. Harpootlian told the court the question isn't whether Hill changed the verdict — it's whether she violated Murdaugh's Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury. That distinction changes everything about how the court evaluates the evidence. On the trial record, Kittredge told Waters that 404(b) is a rule of exclusion and said the gate was left wide open — he couldn't find a single financial evidence ruling that went the defense's way. He questioned why emotionally charged victim testimony from Murdaugh's financial crimes was admitted in a murder trial. Waters tried a Fargo reference. Justice Few ended it. Jim Griffin argued the state's underlying case has no eyewitnesses, no murder weapons, and no biological transfer evidence from a close-range shotgun blast. If the financial testimony is stripped, the case changes shape. Eric Faddis, criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, dissects the hearing moment by moment — what each justice's questions signal, where the state failed to hold ground, and which of the three possible outcomes the arguments most strongly pointed toward. He also addresses whether a federal Sixth Amendment challenge is viable regardless of how this court rules.

The South Carolina Supreme Court heard Alex Murdaugh's double murder appeal today, and the state walked into a courtroom that wasn't friendly. The justices pressed prosecutor Creighton Waters on both tracks of the appeal — Becky Hill's jury tampering and the evidentiary errors at trial — and the exchanges revealed a bench that has serious doubts about what happened below. Justice James opened by asking about the egg juror affidavit that Justice Toal excluded from the evidentiary hearing. Chief Justice Kittredge went further, pointing out that Toal's order never addressed the allegation that Hill told jurors not to be fooled by Murdaugh's testimony. He described the corroboration between multiple juror accounts and independent witnesses as "striking." Becky Hill is now a convicted perjurer, and that conviction didn't exist when Toal issued her ruling. Justice Few asked Waters directly: how do you call someone "not completely credible" when her guilty plea proves she lied under oath? Dick Harpootlian framed the defense argument around the Sixth Amendment — not whether Hill changed the verdict, but whether she compromised the constitutional right to an impartial jury. That distinction in legal standard may be the most consequential issue the court decides. On evidence, Kittredge told Waters that Rule 404(b) is a rule of exclusion and that he couldn't find a single piece of financial evidence the trial court kept out. He questioned why emotionally charged testimony from victims of Murdaugh's financial crimes was presented in a murder trial. Waters attempted a Fargo analogy. Justice Few cut him off. Jim Griffin argued the core weakness: no eyewitnesses, no murder weapons, no biological transfer evidence from a close-range shotgun blast. If the financial testimony is ruled improperly admitted, what's left narrows considerably. Eric Faddis, criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor, analyzes every critical moment from the bench — what the questions reveal about each justice's thinking, where the state's arguments failed to land, and which of the three possible outcomes today's hearing most strongly favored. He also addresses whether a federal Sixth Amendment challenge remains an option regardless of the state court's ruling. Decision expected within sixty days.#AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #SupremeCourtSC #EricFaddis #CreightonWaters #JuryTampering #Rule404b #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The South Carolina Supreme Court heard Alex Murdaugh's double murder appeal today — and the justices came prepared to challenge the state. Across ninety minutes of oral arguments covering jury tampering and evidentiary errors, the bench directed its hardest questions at prosecutor Creighton Waters and gave the defense room to build its case. The jury tampering track opened with Justice James asking whether the court could consider the egg juror's affidavit — testimony Justice Toal excluded during the 2024 hearing. Chief Justice Kittredge escalated, noting that Toal's order failed to address the specific allegation that Becky Hill told jurors not to be fooled by Murdaugh's testimony. He described the corroboration between juror accounts and independent witnesses as "striking." Hill is now a convicted perjurer — guilty of perjury, obstruction, and misconduct in charges that weren't part of the record when Toal ruled. Justice Few went straight at Waters: how do you call someone "not completely credible" when her guilty plea is proof she lied under oath? Dick Harpootlian framed the central argument: Justice Toal asked the wrong question. She evaluated whether Hill changed the verdict. The constitutional standard is whether she compromised the right to an impartial jury. Harpootlian argued those are fundamentally different inquiries — and the wrong one was applied. That legal standard dispute may be the fulcrum of the entire appeal. On evidence, Chief Justice Kittredge told Waters that Rule 404(b) is a rule of exclusion, not inclusion, and that the trial court left the gate wide open. He said he couldn't identify a single piece of financial evidence the trial judge excluded. He pressed on why emotionally charged testimony from victims of Murdaugh's financial crimes — people who lost life savings — was placed before a murder jury. Waters attempted to compare the case to the movie Fargo. Justice Few shut the analogy down. Jim Griffin argued what the state's case looks like without the financial testimony: no eyewitnesses, no murder weapons, and no biological transfer evidence despite a close-range shotgun blast. If the court rules the 404(b) evidence was improperly admitted, the trial record fundamentally changes. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis provides a full breakdown of the hearing — the specific exchanges that revealed the justices' thinking, the moments Waters struggled to hold ground, and the body language from the bench that tells its own story. He analyzes the three possible outcomes: conviction affirmed, new trial on jury tampering, or new trial on evidentiary grounds. He explains which outcome today's hearing most clearly pointed toward, what the timeline looks like, and whether Murdaugh retains a viable federal Sixth Amendment claim regardless of the state court's ruling. The court took the case under advisement. A decision is expected within sixty days. What happened in that courtroom today suggests this conviction is no longer the certainty it once appeared to be.#AlexMurdaugh #MurdaughAppeal #BeckyHill #SouthCarolinaSupremeCourt #CreightonWaters #DickHarpootlian #EricFaddis #JimGriffin #JuryTampering #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today the South Carolina Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Alex Murdaugh's appeal of his double murder conviction — and the questions from the bench landed almost entirely on the state. The hearing covered jury tampering and evidentiary errors, and on both fronts, prosecutor Creighton Waters faced sustained pressure he struggled to answer. On jury tampering, Justice James immediately asked about the egg juror affidavit that Justice Toal blocked from the evidentiary hearing. Chief Justice Kittredge noted Toal's order never addressed the claim that Becky Hill told jurors not to be fooled by Murdaugh's testimony and called the corroboration across multiple juror accounts "striking." Hill is now convicted of perjury, obstruction, and misconduct — a conviction that didn't exist when Toal ruled. Justice Few pressed Waters on how you describe someone as "not completely credible" when she's pled guilty to lying under oath. Harpootlian argued the legal standard itself was wrong — that Toal asked whether Hill changed the outcome instead of whether she violated Murdaugh's Sixth Amendment right to an impartial jury. That's the constitutional question the justices will have to resolve. On the evidence, Kittredge told Waters that 404(b) is a rule of exclusion and said he couldn't identify a single piece of financial evidence the trial court excluded. He pressed on why emotional testimony from financial crime victims was put before a murder jury. Waters referenced the movie Fargo. Justice Few shut it down. Griffin reminded the court the state has no eyewitnesses, no murder weapons, and no biological transfer evidence from a close-range shotgun blast. Strip the financial testimony, and the evidentiary foundation shrinks fast. Criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis breaks down the hearing exchange by exchange — the tone from the bench, the moments the state lost ground, and what the justices' questions telegraph about the three possible outcomes. He assesses which result today's arguments most clearly favored and whether a federal Sixth Amendment appeal remains viable no matter what the state court decides. The court took the case under advisement.
