MMP #28 - What Happened To Hakeem Pinckney? Part One
Hakeem Pinckney was an inspiration. He spent his whole life overcoming the odds. His hearing started deteriorating at a young age, but he never complained. In fact, he won a national championship in football when he was a senior at the SC School for the Deaf and Blind. But when he was 19, he was in a horrific crash with three other family members that forever changed his life. For Hakeem, the injuries would leave him a quadriplegic dependent on a ventilator. In 2010, Alex Murdaugh, Corey Fleming and Palmetto State Bank's CEO Russell Lafitte began representing passengers of the vehicle accident, including Hakeem who was paralyzed but aware. But he persevered. His mother Pamela told us that he was improving before he died suddenly in 2011. 10 years later, Pamela learns that Murdaugh allegedly stole insurance money from the Pinckney family after the accident, and again from Hakeem's wrongful death settlement against his care facility after his ventilator was mysteriously "unplugged". In this episode, you'll hear the powerful voice of Hakeem's mother Pamela, from his former teacher, and from Justin Bamberg, who now represents at least 8 of the alleged victims of Alex Murdaugh. Justin's sights are set on justice, while Pamela just wants to know what happened to her son - something she never received from the first set of settlements.

MMP #26 - Who Killed Maggie & Paul? Part Two
Almost seven months after Paul Murdaugh and Maggie Murdaugh were murdered in Colleton County, South Carolina, multiple sources close to the investigation said physical evidence directly ties Alex Murdaugh to the double homicide.

In this episode, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell reveal new information in the case as we put everything we know into context. Do all roads lead to Alex? Also on this episode, we hear from South Carolina attorney and lawmaker Justin Bamberg again — who has stepped into the arena as a voice for victims.

MMP #25 - Taking On "The Firm" - Part One
“The law firm dropped the ball here…” Previously on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, we told you about how Alex Murdaugh is accused of stealing more than $6.2 million in alleged schemes related to his fake FORGE accounts at Bank of America dating back to 2016. He’s accused of stealing millions of dollars from clients while he was a partner at the law firm started by his great grandfather - PMPED. But so far, PMPED has escaped accountability. While PMPED partners have been claiming to “make Alex’s victims whole,” it appears like something else was happening behind the scenes. On this episode, we speak with South Carolina attorney and lawmaker Justin Bamberg — who has stepped in the arena as a voice for victims. Bamberg says a lawsuit, and possibly a class action, is likely coming against PMPED. He asks any of Murdaugh’s former clients believing they were taken advantage of to call his law firm at 803-956-5088 or email him at pmpedmypockets@bamberglegal.com. As you know, we are a mission-driven podcast - we expose the truth wherever it leads. While accomplishing this mission we always take care to respect victims and we are sensitive to the traumatic nature of this story. We are also very sensitive to our fans - many of which have requested MMP merchandise. And so we listened and acted in the most respectful way possible...

MMP #22 - Alex Murdaugh Charged With 21 New Felonies
The disgraced South Carolina attorney, Alex Murdaugh, was hit with 21 new felonies from the state Grand Jury. His bond hearing — which was surrounded by skeptism — was postponed and that is a very big deal. In this episode, we discuss each one of the seven new indictments involving Alex’s alleged scheme and his new bond hearing which was mysteriously postponed. Sources have told us they expect to see hundreds of charges against Alex when all is said and done. Some sources have told us that this case is going to be the biggest case of fraud the state — and maybe even the country — has ever seen.
