| 5/14/26 | Alex Murdaugh Murder Convictions Overturned | The Supreme Court of South Carolina ruled that Alex Murdaugh is entitled to a new trial, citing improper influences on the jury. According to the court, Becky Hill's comments and actions compromised the integrity of the jury, violating Murdaugh’s right to a fair trial. The court emphasized that every defendant is entitled to an impartial jury, free from external influences. The court found that Hill made statements to jurors that suggested Murdaugh was guilty. While the court did not review every evidentiary issue raised by Murdaugh's appeal, it provided guidance on the admissibility of his financial crimes in the upcoming trial. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson expressed disappointment but acknowledged the necessity of a fair trial. Wilson stated that he intends to seek a speedy retrial, hoping to have it completed by the end of the year. Joining the podcast is Matt Siembieda, an attorney and law professor at Temple Law School.
