Alex Murdaugh Fights Back: Refuting Evidence And Alleging Tampering
Manage episode 507140135 series 2952621
Alex Murdaugh’s defense team has filed a 79-page response challenging prosecutors’ efforts to block his request for a new murder trial. His lawyers argue that the state’s opposition is flawed and maintain that Murdaugh was denied a fair trial due to alleged jury tampering by Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill.
Although Retired Chief Justice Jean Toal denied a retrial—despite finding Hill not credible—Murdaugh’s attorneys insist that key evidence was ignored, forensic findings were misrepresented, and irrelevant financial evidence was used to distract from the lack of proof tying Murdaugh to the murders of his wife and son.
In this episode we discuss the defense team's strategy and the possibility of Murdaugh getting a new trial with attorney Matt Siembieda.
Matt Siembieda is an attorney and law professor at Temple Law School.
