Could Alex Murdaugh's Newly Discovered Texts Help His Defense?

Could Alex Murdaugh's Newly Discovered Texts Help His Defense?

Jenn Wood of FITSNews joins the podcast to talk about previously unseen text messages she discovered tied to Alex Murdaugh's 2023 double homicide trial, in which he was convicted of murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul. The uncovered texts were between Murdaugh and his alleged drug dealer, Curtis “Eddie” Smith, whom the defense suggested as an alternative suspect. Murdaugh is currently appealing those convictions – and the life sentence he received for them – on multiple grounds, including documented jury tampering (and alleged jury rigging). (https://www.fitsnews.com/2025/07/18/hidden-text-drama-prosecutors-push-back-at-murdaugh-defense-attorneys/) Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.
