Defense counsel Jim Griffin confirmed at a press conference that unknown male DNA was recovered from beneath Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails during the original investigation and was never submitted to CODIS for comparison. The defense has indicated it intends to pursue that evidence at retrial.The DNA disclosure accompanies a broader catalog of alleged investigative deficiencies the defense plans to present to a second jury. Tire impressions at the crime scene were reportedly never properly processed. GPS data from Maggie Murdaugh's phone was allegedly overwritten. Crime scene integrity was compromised by weather exposure and foot traffic from family members prior to full processing. The medical examiner reportedly estimated time of death by touch rather than standard forensic methodology. These issues were largely subordinated during the first trial by twelve hours of financial crimes testimony — testimony the Supreme Court has now ordered to be sharply curtailed.Retrial preparation is extensive. The defense is reviewing an eight-thousand-page trial transcript — effectively an impeachment roadmap, as every prosecution witness is now locked into sworn testimony. New expert witnesses are being retained. The defense does not anticipate the retrial commencing before next year.Venue presents a contested procedural question. The defense is considering a change-of-venue motion, but the receiving jurisdiction must approximate Colleton County's demographic composition. Griffin noted that Richland and Charleston counties would likely fail that standard. Harpootlian cited the Pee Wee Gaskins precedent regarding individual voir dire necessitated by pretrial publicity saturation.The Attorney General's reported decision to place the death penalty on the table creates an additional procedural dimension — capital charges automatically trigger individual juror screening, which aligns with the defense's stated preference. The federal civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill under Section 1983 continues to function as a parallel discovery mechanism. The defense has stated publicly that no plea agreement will be considered.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jim Griffin confirmed at the defense press conference that unknown male DNA was recovered from under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and never run through CODIS. Physical evidence from the person who was fatally shot, documented in the investigation, sitting unmatched in an evidence file. The defense has plans for it at retrial.That revelation sits alongside a catalog of alleged SLED investigative failures the defense intends to weaponize in front of a second jury. Tire tracks at the crime scene that were never properly processed. GPS data from Maggie's phone that was overwritten. A crime scene that sat in the rain and was walked through by family members before it was secured. A coroner who estimated time of death by touch. None of this is new — but it was buried under twelve hours of financial crimes testimony the first time. That testimony is now sharply limited by the Supreme Court's ruling. The physical evidence has to stand on its own, and the defense is betting it can't.The retrial logistics are significant. Eight thousand pages of sworn trial testimony to review — a built-in impeachment roadmap the prosecution can't take back. Every witness who testified at trial one is now locked into their story. New expert witnesses are being retained. The defense doesn't expect the retrial before next year.Venue is contested. A change-of-venue motion is under consideration, but the receiving county must match Colleton's demographics — Griffin specifically noted Richland and Charleston likely wouldn't qualify. Harpootlian referenced the Pee Wee Gaskins case and the necessity of individual voir dire given the saturation of pretrial publicity statewide.The federal civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill functions as a parallel investigation — civil discovery tools designed to determine whether Hill acted alone and what the state's investigation missed. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and Robin Dreeke analyze the DNA revelation, the discovery strategy, and why the defense says there will never be a plea deal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Episode IntroIf you went to elementary school in the 70s, 80s or 90s, do you remember being tested by a stranger, or group of strangers? Ever get pulled out for a special class with others from different grades? Made to drink something pink? For whatever reason, right now many are remembering details of GATE programs. But who was behind these school programs? And what was their purpose? Intro to GATE MemoriesLet your mind drift back, back, back to those innocent days of youth. Picture the elementary school you attended. The teacher. Your friends. Recess. Did you play kickball? Or hopscotch? Or jump rope? Imagine your desk. Did it have that front load opening with a special well to hold your pencils? How about the pencil sharpener? Was it mounted to your teacher's desk at the front of the room? How did the classroom smell? Remember other details? Like Pirate paste that smelled like wintergreen. That ripe scent of bodies when the weather turned warm and all of your class was reassembled on the rug sitting criss-cross applesauce?I mention all this as precursor, because only you know what it felt like to live during those years. If you need to, pause this episode and write down your strongest recollections. I'm sure I missed lots. Like school lunches, did you bring your own in a sack or fancy lunchbox? Or did you turn in a paper ticket and receive a hot lunch in the cafeteria? What about the school library? Or gym? Any art projects you remember doing? And art supplies? What about those special classroom jobs? My teachers had a rotation that changed week to week. Write down what you like. Make sure your thorough because we are going deeper in a second.Did you ever have a stranger in a suit or more than one come into your classroom to observe? Did the teacher explain that they were from a college in the area? Did they bring with them an oversized case with latches and a handle, and inside was equipment that included knobs and dials? Were you sent one by one to the back of the room and told to put on large headphones that plugged into the case? Asked to identify tones? I said, inside the classroom, but I remember a trailer, one of those mobile trailers, or portables, that they needed when schools outgrew the number of neighborhood kids. Some people recall tanagrams, colorful shapes you'd manipulate to form larger shapes, like boats and such. Others remember cards, some say they were black and white, others remember colors with scenes on them. Slipped into envelopes, the tester encouraged children to visualize what was inside the envelope. Visualize. Visualize. Visualize. There were other tests, too. Weeks afterwards parents of a few kids might be notified that their child was going into the GATE program. GATE stands for Gifted and Talented Education, by the way. These programs were spun differently across the United States, but the letter home often used the word, "gifted" or "talented." Even the program itself had a different name depending on the school district. TAG, LEAP, Extended Learning Program, or in Richland, Washington - across from the Hanford Nuclear Reactor, they called their program ALPHA. These were pull-out programs that met weekly, sometimes with more than one grade combined together. And in our school, Mark Twain Elementary (because by that time I'd moved to Pasco) and those kids were bussed in from schools across the district and convened in a portable beside the basketball courts. What did they do in those GATE classes?Well, that's complicated. For many participants, the details remain hazy, at best. Some suffer memory loss about the entire program, while others in recent months, saw one of those black and white cards, or a photo of those clunky testing headphones, which rattled loose a few recollections.

One press conference. Three significant developments. The Murdaugh defense team filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, accused the Attorney General of vindictive prosecution, and revealed evidence the prosecution may wish had stayed buried.The lawsuit against Becky Hill is a Section 1983 claim alleging she deprived Murdaugh of his right to a fair trial. The defense wants civil discovery to investigate what Hill did and whether she had accomplices. They highlighted the suspicious removal of juror Myra Crosby and sought over six hundred thousand dollars in damages — all directed to the receivership, not to Murdaugh personally.Harpootlian aimed squarely at Attorney General Alan Wilson. He accused Wilson of seeking the death penalty as retaliation for Murdaugh winning his appeal — the legal definition of vindictive prosecution. He asked what new evidence justifies the escalation when nothing about the case has changed. He accused the AG of consulting political advisors instead of career prosecutors.Then the retrial details. The defense does not expect a trial this year. Preparation includes reviewing eight thousand pages of transcript, retaining new experts, and scrubbing all discovery materials. They are pursuing a venue change constrained by demographic requirements that eliminate Richland and Charleston. Individual voir dire will make jury selection a long, difficult process.The evidence revelation that may matter most: unknown male DNA under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails was collected and never run through the CODIS database. The defense intends to use it. They also catalogued SLED's investigative failures — unprocessed tire tracks, overwritten GPS data, incomplete scene work.Tony Brueski, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke discuss every major development. No plea deal is on the table. The defense was unequivocal. They are going to trial.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Maggie Murdaugh had unknown male DNA beneath her fingernails. Investigators collected it. And then, according to the defense, nobody ever ran it through CODIS — the federal database that exists to match exactly this kind of forensic evidence.Jim Griffin disclosed this at the press conference and made clear the defense plans to use it at the retrial. It joins a list of investigative shortcomings that SLED will have to answer for in court — including tire tracks that were never processed and GPS data that was overwritten before anyone could examine it.The retrial timeline is coming into focus, and it is not fast. The defense does not expect to be in a courtroom this year. The preparation alone is staggering: eight thousand pages of transcript to review, a full discovery scrub, new experts to retain and prepare. They are building a defense from the ground up — except this time they know what the prosecution's case looks like.Finding a courtroom is its own challenge. A change-of-venue motion is under consideration, but the defense needs a county that demographically matches Colleton. They ruled out Richland and Charleston as likely options. And seating a jury anywhere in South Carolina requires individual voir dire — questioning each potential juror separately to find people who have not already decided this case.Alex Murdaugh, according to Griffin, has read the Supreme Court opinion himself and reacted with disbelief and emotion. The attorneys noted they have no additional funding and are continuing the representation while operating at a financial loss.Tony Brueski, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke discuss the untested DNA, the retrial timeline, and why the defense made clear there will never be a plea deal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The DNA evidence alone would be enough to change the shape of this case. Unknown male DNA beneath Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails, collected at the scene, and never run through the one database designed to identify it.Jim Griffin confirmed the defense has this evidence and intends to use it at the retrial. It is the kind of detail that raises questions not just about what happened at Moselle that night but about how the original investigation was conducted. CODIS exists precisely for this purpose. And someone decided not to use it.The retrial itself is going to be an enormous undertaking. The defense team described a preparation process that includes reviewing the full eight-thousand-page trial transcript, conducting a complete discovery scrub, and retaining new expert witnesses. Their timeline estimate is clear: not this year. Possibly within a year, but nobody should expect a quick turnaround.Venue selection is already shaping up as a major pretrial battle. The defense will likely seek a change of venue, but the new county must mirror Colleton's demographic profile. Richland and Charleston are essentially off the table. Harpootlian cited the Pee Wee Gaskins case as a precedent for individual voir dire — a process where each potential juror is questioned separately to assess exposure and bias.The defense also catalogued SLED's original investigative gaps: tire tracks that went unprocessed, GPS data that was overwritten, fundamental scene work that never happened. Every one of those failures becomes part of the defense's narrative at trial two.Tony Brueski, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke discuss the DNA revelation, the retrial roadmap, and why the defense was absolute that a plea deal will never happen.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Three major developments from one press conference. A federal lawsuit against Becky Hill. An accusation that the Attorney General is playing politics with the death penalty. And DNA evidence the first jury never knew existed.The Section 1983 lawsuit targets Hill for depriving Murdaugh of his constitutional right to a fair trial. The defense is using it as an investigative vehicle — civil discovery to determine exactly what Hill did during the original trial and whether anyone assisted her. The complaint highlights the suspicious removal of the egg lady juror and seeks over six hundred thousand dollars in damages for the receivership.Harpootlian publicly challenged AG Alan Wilson on the death penalty decision, calling it vindictive prosecution. His argument: nothing about the evidence has changed since the first trial. The only thing that changed is that Murdaugh won his appeal. He accused Wilson of following political instincts over prosecutorial judgment and specifically cited the failure to investigate Hill's jury tampering.The retrial itself is going to be a massive undertaking the defense does not expect to complete this year. Eight thousand transcript pages. New experts. A discovery scrub. A venue change that has to match Colleton County demographics, ruling out Richland and Charleston. Individual voir dire for every potential juror.The evidence revelations were significant. Unknown male DNA beneath Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails was never run through CODIS. SLED's investigative gaps — tire tracks, GPS data, scene processing — all become retrial ammunition. Griffin shared that Murdaugh himself read the opinion and was emotional. The attorneys are working without new money.Tony Brueski, criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke provide the complete analysis. No plea deal. No shortcuts.

The defense did not hedge. They did not leave room for interpretation. There will never be a plea deal in the Alex Murdaugh case. Not under any circumstances. The question was asked, and the answer was absolute.Understanding why they are so certain requires understanding what they revealed about the retrial itself. Start with the DNA. Unknown male DNA was found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails and was never run through CODIS. The defense confirmed they intend to make that evidence central to the retrial. When you have physical evidence that was collected and then apparently ignored, it changes the calculus entirely.The preparation for the retrial is massive. Eight thousand pages of transcript from the first trial to review word by word. A complete scrub of discovery. New expert witnesses. Post-trial information the first jury never heard. The defense does not expect to be ready this year, but they believe the time invested will fundamentally change the case they present.Venue is going to be a significant fight. A change-of-venue motion is likely, but the options are limited — the receiving county must mirror Colleton's demographics, and the defense flagged that Richland and Charleston probably would not qualify. Jury selection, wherever it happens, will require individual voir dire. Harpootlian compared it to the Pee Wee Gaskins case for a reason.The defense revisited SLED's failures with fresh urgency — unprocessed tire tracks, overwritten GPS data, scene procedures that were skipped. These are not just talking points anymore. They are exhibits in a retrial where the defense knows exactly where every weakness sits.Tony Brueski is joined by criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke to analyze the retrial roadmap, the evidence revelations, and why the defense has completely ruled out any plea negotiation.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The defense team covered more ground in one press conference than most legal teams cover in a month. Here is everything they revealed — the federal lawsuit, the confrontation with the Attorney General, and the retrial roadmap that changes the picture of this case.They filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill under Section 1983. The claim: she deprived Murdaugh of his right to a fair trial by tampering with the jury. The strategy: use civil discovery to investigate what the state never examined. Griffin asked whether Hill was a lone wolf. The lawsuit is designed to find out. Over six hundred thousand dollars in damages go to the receivership.Harpootlian confronted Attorney General Wilson over the death penalty decision. He labeled it vindictive prosecution and asked the question Wilson has not answered: what do you know now that you did not know five years ago? He accused the AG of taking political advice over legal counsel and publicly told him to focus on his job. He also criticized the AG's office for never investigating Hill's conduct.The retrial roadmap is clearer than it has ever been. No trial this year. Preparation requires reviewing eight thousand transcript pages, retaining new experts, and conducting a total discovery review. A venue change is likely but constrained — Richland and Charleston are probably excluded. Jury selection will be individual and exhaustive.The new evidence could be case-altering. Unknown male DNA under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails was never run through CODIS. SLED's original investigation left tire tracks unprocessed and GPS data overwritten. The defense intends to present all of it.Tony Brueski is joined by criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of Defense Diaries, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke for the complete picture. Griffin described Murdaugh as incredulous and emotional. The attorneys have no new money. And there will never be a plea deal.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forget the legal theories for a moment. What does the Murdaugh retrial actually look like on a practical level? The defense answered that question at the press conference — and the answer is: complicated, expensive, and not happening soon.Start with preparation. The defense has to review an eight-thousand-page transcript from the first trial. They need a complete scrub of discovery materials. They are bringing in new expert witnesses. And they are working with post-trial information the jury never heard — including unknown male DNA found under Maggie Murdaugh's fingernails that was never run through CODIS. That evidence is going to be front and center the second time around.Venue is a puzzle with limited solutions. The defense is looking at a change-of-venue motion, but they need a county that mirrors Colleton's demographics. They specifically flagged that Richland and Charleston would likely not make the cut. And once they find a venue, they face what may be one of the hardest jury selections in South Carolina history. Harpootlian invoked the Pee Wee Gaskins case and stressed the need for individual voir dire.The defense also resurfaced SLED's investigative shortcomings — tire tracks never processed, GPS data overwritten, basic scene procedures skipped. These failures take on new weight in a retrial where the defense has more information and more time to prepare.Griffin shared that Murdaugh himself has read the Supreme Court opinion and was emotional — describing him as incredulous and grateful. The attorneys confirmed they have no new money and are continuing the case while already in the hole.Tony Brueski is joined by criminal defense attorney Bob Motta, host of the Defense Diaries podcast, and retired FBI Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Program Robin Dreeke to walk through the retrial logistics, the new evidence, and why a plea deal is not and will never be on the table.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

**Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1201** Clay opens the show hyping Pearl Day 2026 this Saturday at Trustmark Park — a big free concert with Daughtry and Hinder. Gates open at 5:30 PM, Hinder starts at 7:00 PM, and Daughtry around 8:45 PM. He then goes hard on Jackson City Council President Brian Brazil for proposing a 180-day moratorium on new data centers in Jackson, calling it classic grandstanding and “little brother syndrome.” Clay points out that no major data centers are even planned for Jackson while Richland and Madison are landing billions in investment, and he mocks the liberal buzzword salad in the proposal (“disproportionate environmental burdens on vulnerable neighborhoods”). **Hour 1: Kingfish from Jackson Jambalaya**   Kingfish joins Clay by phone for a deep dive into the Mississippi ABC liquor distribution disaster. They break down the massive backlogs, empty shelves at stores across the state, small businesses forced to cut hours or lay off employees, and the contractor Ruan sending self-congratulatory emails while claiming progress. Clay calls out the destruction of small businesses and demands real action instead of excuses. **Hour 2: Andrew Gasser**   Andrew Gasser joins Clay in the studio. They discuss Tucker Carlson's recent “mask off” comments where he expressed regret for supporting Trump, accused him of low character, and dove into Israel-related issues, donor influence (Miriam Adelson), assassination attempts, and what he called “Israel derangement syndrome.” They unpack single-issue politics, antisemitism debates, foreign policy distractions, and why some people are letting overseas issues override what's happening on American soil. Unfiltered, no sugar added reality radio. **The Clay Edwards Show – Episode 1201**

**Clay Edwards Show – Jackson Data Center Moratorium Rant** Clay goes off on Jackson City Council President Brian Brazil for proposing a 180-day moratorium on new data centers in Jackson. He calls it pure grandstanding and classic “little brother syndrome” — especially after Amazon just announced another $25 billion in data center investment across Mississippi that's all headed to Richland and Madison, not Jackson. Clay points out the obvious: there aren't even any major data centers planned or coming to Jackson right now. He rips the proposal's liberal buzzword salad (“disproportionate environmental burdens on vulnerable neighborhoods,” “environmental racism”) and says it sounds like Kamala Harris wrote it herself. Bottom line: Jackson is once again cutting off its own nose to spite its face, blocking progress and economic growth while the suburbs boom. Classic Jackson doing Jackson things. **The Clay Edwards Show – Jackson Data Center Moratorium**

Clay Edwards welcomes Todd Sandridge, owner of Superior Foundation Services in Richland, Mississippi, into the studio for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about one of the most common — and costly — problems facing homeowners across Central Mississippi. Todd explains how Mississippi's notorious weathered clay soil shrinks when dry and swells when wet, causing houses to shift, crack, and settle. He walks through the simple 30-45 minute diagnostic process his team uses: taking precise elevation measurements with a zip level to create a baseline and identify exactly what's happening beneath the foundation. Key topics include: - Why water management is almost always the root cause (especially downspouts dumping water too close to the house) - The importance of French drains and getting water away from footings - Why calling early for small issues (like a single corner settling) can prevent major, expensive repairs later - Helical piers for both repair and new construction - Options for lifting slabs, encapsulations under crawl spaces, driveway repairs, and commercial work - The value of working with a locally owned company that stands behind its warranties and doesn't disappear after the job Todd emphasizes honest assessments, avoiding fear tactics, and preferring small, targeted fixes over unnecessary whole-house overhauls. He also shares why local ownership matters — because they live, work, and raise families in the same communities they serve. If you've noticed cracks in your walls, sticking doors, uneven floors, or suspect foundation movement, this segment delivers clear, actionable advice from a Central Mississippi expert who's been in the business for nearly 12 years (with 27 years as a general contractor).

Pacific Northwest National Lab scientist and Hanford manager on radioactive tank waste, vitrification and clean-up progress In September 2024, we packed up our van and drove about four and a half hours from Portland to Richland, WA, to set up a mobile broadcast studio on the campus of Washington State University Tri-Cities, in partnership with Northwest Public Broadcasting. We broadcast a week of shows that included conversations about the WW II and Manhattan Project history that created the radioactive waste from war-time plutonium enrichment at Hanford. Our coverage from the region also included in-depth interviews with Indigenous leaders and a tour of the infamous B-reactor, along with conversations about the economy and culture of the region. We listen back today to two of these conversations. The first is with Carolyn Pearce, a PhD and chemist with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory working on the science of the  vitrification, the glassification process that will be used to turn some of the 56 million gallons of radioactive waste  into radioactive glass logs for storage. In the second half of the show, we revisit our tour of one part of the Hanford nuclear reservation. The 56 million gallons of waste are stored in 177 massive, underground tanks on 18 different “farms.”  Most of the tanks are single-shelled, but 28 of them are double-shelled, which helps prevent waste from getting into the ground. Karthik Subramanian, chief operating officer of Washington River Protection Solutions, the tank farm operations contractor, was our guide. After the tour, we sat down with Brian Vance, who at that time was the Department of Energy’s top manager in charge of Hanford. He resigned in March of this year. Vance talked with us about tank integrity, the status of the vitrification plant and the overall clean up progress. The opening of that waste processing facility -- which has now cost $30 billion  - was thrown into doubt earlier this month, but the Department of Energy is now allowing the project to move forward and the first glass logs are expected to roll out as soon as this week, ahead of the October 15 deadline.
