MMP Remastered #70 - More Lies and Alibis: What We’re Learning Before The Double Homicide Trial

In this remastered episode from November 2022, we examine the constantly shifting alibi that Alex Murdaugh's defense team presented in the weeks before his murder trial. Investigative journalists ⁠Mandy Matney⁠ and ⁠Liz Farrell⁠ break down how Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin manipulated media coverage through strategically timed motions and carefully worded statements that technically told the truth while omitting crucial context. This episode also reveals the five key elements of a Murdaugh defense motion and shows how the defense team planted seeds of doubt through confusing exhibits and sensational headlines. Plus we reflect on what we now know after Alex's conviction, this episode serves as a masterclass in media literacy and the importance of scrutinizing sources—especially when they have a history of misleading the public.
