Les dynasties ont toujours fasciné. Richesse, pouvoir, impunité... On pense les familles riches à l'abri du besoin et de la violence. Mais parfois, elles se révèlent être le théâtre des pires horreurs… C'est le cas de la famille Murdaugh, une puissante famille d'avocats américains. Le 7 juin 2021, Maggie Murdaugh et son fils Paul sont retrouvés sauvagement assassinés devant leur pavillon de chasse en Caroline du Sud. Mais que s'est-il passé ? Qui a bien pu s'en prendre aux membres de cette famille, aussi riche que controversée ? Les derniers mensonges d'Alex Le 23 janvier 2023, au tribunal du Comté de Colleton, s'ouvre le procès d'Alex Murdaugh, accusé du double meurtre de sa femme Maggie et de son fils Paul. Un an et demi plus tôt, Alex était encore le puissant héritier d'une dynastie qui, depuis 100 ans, faisait sa loi dans les marais de Caroline du Sud. Il était un avocat riche et corpulent. Mais à l'ouverture du procès, Alex Murdaugh, en chemise blanche et veste de blazer anthracite, apparaît amaigri. Il a visiblement perdu de sa superbe en détention préventive. Pourtant, il clame toujours haut et fort son innocence.

Buster Murdaugh is the only surviving son of disgraced South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh, the once-powerful lawyer who was convicted of murdering his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and youngest son, Paul Murdaugh in 2021. As a member of the influential Murdaugh family, which controlled the legal system in South Carolina's Lowcountry for nearly a century, Buster has lived under intense public scrutiny due to the family's history of legal scandals, crime, and corruption. While Buster Murdaugh has never been charged with a crime, his name has frequently been linked to the unsolved 2015 death of Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old nursing student whose body was found on a rural road in Hampton County, South Carolina. Smith's death was initially ruled a hit-and-run, but years of speculation and whispers in the community suggested a possible connection between Buster and the case. No evidence has ever officially linked Buster to Smith's death, but renewed media interest, especially following his father's high-profile murder trial, has kept his name in the conversation. In 2024, Buster Murdaugh filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix, Warner Bros., and several other media companies, alleging that they falsely implicated him in Stephen Smith's death through true-crime documentaries and news reports. The lawsuit specifically calls out Netflix's “Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal”, Discovery+'s “Murdaugh Murders: Deadly Dynasty”, and HBO Max's “Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty”, arguing that these productions used misleading reenactments, speculative interviews, and selective storytelling to imply he was involved in a crime he has never been charged with. Buster claims that these documentaries damaged his reputation, fueled baseless public suspicion, and caused him emotional distress. His lawsuit seeks monetary damages and demands retractions or corrections from the media companies. The Ongoing Legal Battle Buster Murdaugh's lawsuit has now become one of the most closely watched media defamation cases of recent years. The case was initially filed in Hampton County, South Carolina, a jurisdiction where the Murdaugh family once held significant influence. However, Netflix and the other defendants attempted to move the case to federal court, arguing that they are out-of-state corporations and that the lawsuit belongs in a larger legal arena. In December 2024, a federal judge ruled in favor of Buster Murdaugh, sending the case back to state court in Hampton County, where a local jury could ultimately decide whether the media outlets crossed a legal line in their reporting and documentary portrayals. Netflix, Warner Bros., and the other defendants have denied wrongdoing and are expected to fight the lawsuit aggressively, likely arguing that: They never directly stated that Buster Murdaugh was guilty of any crime. They were simply reporting on existing rumors and public interest cases. Buster Murdaugh is a public figure, making defamation harder to prove under U.S. law. This case has sparked a larger debate on the ethics of true-crime documentaries, the responsibilities of media companies when covering ongoing investigations, and the boundaries between storytelling and defamation. The Impact on the Murdaugh Family Name Buster Murdaugh's legal battle comes at a time when his family name is already synonymous with scandal. His father, Alex Murdaugh, was sentenced to life in prison for the double murder of Maggie and Paul, a crime that exposed the family's web of financial fraud, legal corruption, and hidden secrets. For Buster, this lawsuit represents more than just a fight against Netflix and Warner Bros.—it's an attempt to salvage what remains of his reputation. If he wins, it could set a legal precedent that true-crime documentaries cannot rely on speculation and dramatization to tell stories at the expense of real people's reputations. If he loses, it may further cement his name in true-crime infamy, keeping him permanently tied to Stephen Smith's case in the court of public opinion. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery | Unsolved South Carolina
Alex Murdaugh's defense team entered the ring throwing haymakers in a pre-hearing status conference on January 16th, hoping to bludgeon open a clear path to a retrial in Murdaugh's murder case. But retired South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal, the newly appointed judge on the case, parried and rebuffed Murdaugh's ambitious volleys in stunning and decisive fashion. Now Murdaugh's opening to land the decisive blow against his dual murder convictions and life sentence appears vanishingly small.Join Anne Emerson, Charlie Condon and Drew Tripp as they recap the important day in court and preview Murdaugh's upcoming evidentiary hearing on the controversial jury tampering allegations.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery | Unsolved South Carolina
Did Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill have improper communications with jurors during Alex Murdaugh's murder trial? If so, did she create bias or prejudice among jurors potentially influencing their verdict and warranting a retrial?Those are the two primary questions needing answers when state prosecutors and Murdaugh's defense lawyers meet in court January 29 in a pivotal hearing to decide if Murdaugh's dual convictions for the murders of his wife and son were fair and will stand.Murdaugh's defense lawyers in a brief filed ahead of the hearing adamantly argue the answer to both questions is “Yes,” while the team of prosecutors for the S.C. Attorney General's Office argue they still feel Murdaugh shouldn't even be getting a hearing.Join Anne Emerson, Charlie Condon and Drew Tripp as they break down the legal battles taking shape.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery | Unsolved South Carolina
State investigators have found evidence linking a Colleton County government wiretapping scandal involving Jeffrey Hill to a public ethics complaint against his mother, the county's elected clerk of court, Becky Hill.In this episode, former S.C. Attorney General Charlie Condon tells hosts Anne Emerson and Drew Tripp how the ethics complaint and attacks on Hill's character might impact a potential retrial for convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh. BACKGROUND: The date of the wiretapping incident involving Jeffrey Hill came in late July 2023, about a month after someone filed an ethics complaint against his mother with the State Ethics Commission.Becky Hill's county-issued cell phone was confiscated as part of the ongoing investigation. A public corruption investigation tied to the wiretapping incident has now been escalated to the S.C. Attorney General's Office.The original ethics complaint against Becky Hill, dated June 2023, alleges that during the Murdaugh murder trial and afterward, she "utilized her authority, the Colleton County Courthouse and taxpayer's money outside the scope of routine court business."In documents dated August 2023 reported by FITSNews, Hill categorically denies many of the allegations made in the original June 26 ethics complaint, and alleges other accusations have been crafted to exclude important context and other details to intentionally make her actions appear nefarious.MORE: Source says Colleton wiretapping & corruption probe linked to court clerk ethics complaintSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
I finally look into what all the hype about the Murdaugh family murders is about. And the hype... is justified. I provide a summary of the Murdaugh's history of power and influence in South Carolina's Low Country and how a series of financial crimes and murders led to the collapse of their corrupt rural empire. Alec Murdaugh is a TERRIBLE human being... and I'm so glad that snake will rot in prison for the rest of his life.

The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery | Unsolved South Carolina
A tenuous sense of finality has spread across the South Carolina Lowcountry like a late November cold front as another chapter in Alex Murdaugh's seemingly unending criminal saga comes to a close. Getting there, the world heard for the first time this week the raw emotional catharsis of several families victimized by Alex Murdaugh's beguiling treachery. Friends, peers and clients alike unleashed years of pent-up anger and disappointment in Murdaugh Tuesday as he was formally sentenced to 27 years in prison for his many frauds, thefts, forgeries and lies. To some, the sentence only serves to further stoke the fire of their anger as it seems to them not nearly enough. Others are simply glad to turn from the last page a dark chapter in their lives — more interested in peace and forgiveness than vengeance.But what would this historic day be without the enigmatic and vexing Murdaugh once again attempting to seize the spotlight away from those owed justice to shine the attention on himself instead?Join host Anne Emerson, legal analyst Charlie Condon and producer Drew Tripp for this jam-packed retrospective on Alex Murdaugh's financial crimes plea deal and sentencing.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In a stunning turn of events, the unsolved death case of Stephen Smith, dating back to July 2015, has seen significant progress, thanks to a connection with the recent Murdaugh murders. Sandy Smith, Stephen's mother, has been relentless in her pursuit of justice for her son, and recent developments have shed new light on the long-standing mystery. Smith's determination paid off when renowned lawyers Eric Bland and Ronnie Richter stepped in to represent her pro bono, shortly after they began representing victims of Alex Murdaugh's alleged financial scams. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) had initially classified Stephen Smith's death as a hit-and-run, a conclusion disputed by both Smith and investigators. However, with Bland and Richter's involvement, SLED acknowledged the need to treat Stephen Smith's case as a homicide. The pivotal moment came when SLED opened an investigation into the Murdaugh murders, specifically Paul and Maggie Murdaugh. This development reignited interest in Stephen Smith's case, suggesting a potential connection between the two cases. Sandy Smith did not hesitate to express her sentiments, saying, "Somebody else had to die" to bring attention to her son's case. Alex Murdaugh's recent conviction for the double murders of his wife and son further intertwined the two cases. Bland and Richter extended their pro bono representation to Sandy Smith, recognizing her relentless pursuit of justice. "This is a woman that has fought this battle alone since 2015 … screaming as loud as she could … with not a lot of people listening," said Bland. Rumors of Murdaugh involvement in Stephen Smith's death had circulated since the early days of the investigation. Some claimed that a Murdaugh child had been in a vehicle with others and was alleged to have been involved in Stephen Smith's death. Buster Murdaugh, Alex Murdaugh's oldest son, publicly denied these rumors, calling them "baseless" and offering an alibi that he was at their beach house with his mother and brother at the time of Stephen Smith's death. However, SLED's findings have kept the cases connected, prompting further speculation about the evidence uncovered during the Murdaugh murder investigation. Cellphone evidence played a crucial role in Alex Murdaugh's trial, and it's possible that Stephen Smith's phone or tablet, found in his front pocket, may hold critical clues. Sandy Smith had previously requested the FBI's assistance in cracking Stephen's phone in 2016, but the case did not progress. Sandy Smith's attorneys have confirmed that SLED now possesses all the evidence related to Stephen Smith's case, including his phone and tablet. An investigative grand jury is actively pursuing potential suspects. Sandy Smith remains determined to find answers and justice, announcing a scholarship fund in Stephen's name and offering a $30,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Recent developments in Stephen Smith's case have brought a renewed sense of hope to his mother and the investigators involved. An independent investigation led by Dr. Kenny Kinsey and Dr. Michelle DuPre uncovered startling findings, ruling out the initial hit-and-run theory. Instead, they theorized that Stephen had died from a single fatal blow to the head, which occurred on the road where his body was found. According to Dr. DuPre, "The injuries can tell us so much about what happened," and in this case, they provided valuable insights. Dr. Kinsey added that "Whatever hit him was fast and it was large." The discoveries made during this investigation have provided a degree of scientific certainty about what transpired on the night of Stephen Smith's death, marking a significant breakthrough in a case that had remained unresolved for years. As the investigation continues, Sandy Smith remains committed to finding justice for her son, with the hope that the new developments will finally provide the answers she has sought for nearly a decade.

Lead detectives speak out about the investigation into once-prominent South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh, who was convicted of murdering his wife, Maggie, and son Paul. Craig Melvin reports.
The Murdaugh Murders, Money & Mystery | Unsolved South Carolina
The legal maneuvering never ceases where Alex Murdaugh is concerned. This week, Murdaugh attorney Dick Harpootlian is once again raising concerns that his client won't be able to get a fair jury trial due to media attention when the Satterfield fraud and money laundering case goes to court on November 27 in Beaufort County. Harpootlian says a sampling of responses from potential jurors on pre-trial questionnaires show Murdaugh might find it impossible in "beautiful Beaufort by the sea" to find a juror who's a blank slate. Harpootlian now wants the case moved out of not only Beaufort, but of the Lowcountry entirely.
