With Alex Murdaugh's murder retrial approaching in April 2027, one of the biggest challenges may come before opening statements are ever delivered. After jury influencing led to his original 2023 murder convictions of Maggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh being overturned, selecting 12 impartial jurors for retrial will be a critical part of the next chapter. In this episode of Criminally Obsessed, investigative reporter Anne Emerson sits down with jury consultant and body language expert Susan Constantine to break down how attorneys will build a jury for the Alex Murdaugh murder retrial. This is an expert who is no stranger to the true crime spotlight - in 2011, she was inside the courtroom throughout the entire Casey Anthony trial in Orlando, Florida. When it seems nearly everyone has heard of a case like the Murdaugh murders, how do prosecutors and the defense determine who can still be fair? Susan explains what happens behind the scenes during jury selection, from analyzing body language and listening for subtle verbal cues to conducting extensive social media research on potential jurors. It’s her job to identify potential juror biases... so what exactly does she look for? If you're following the Alex Murdaugh murder retrial, this conversation offers an inside look at one of the most important and least understood parts of the criminal justice system.
