MMP #41 - Hutt-winked and Harpootlianed: The Good Ole Boys Strike Back
This episode is about so much more than jailhouse phone calls right now. This is about the future of the justice system in our state. Will we continue to stand by and let Good Ole Boys like Dick Harpootlian and Brad Hutto run our courts? Or is it finally time for a change? In this episode, Liz, Mandy and David take you through every bit of Dick and Jim’s lawsuit — including all of their mistakes. And we’re not done with the Bowen Turner case, either. Over the weekend, State Senator Brad Hutto called Mandy a “pseudo journalist.” And he sent a listener a shocking letter, which you’ll hear in this episode. We will be posting a call-to-action on our Facebook and Instagram pages soon, so stay tuned! How can you help?

MMP #40 - Bowen Turner & The Two Systems Of Justice
19-year-old Bowen Turner is accused of raping three women between 2018-2019. One of those victims, Dallas Stoller, died in November of 2021. In this special episode of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, you’ll hear from Dallas’ sister and father, who were in the courtroom last week when Turner got a shocking sweetheart deal of just five years probation. He won’t have to register as a sex offender. Solicitor David Miller of the Second Circuit Solicitor’s Office agreed to the deal. Judge Markley Dennis approved the sentence. Like Paul Murdaugh, Bowen Turner had the privilege of being represented by a state senator. State Senator Brad Hutto negotiated this shocking deal for his client to go free - even after he violated his bond conditions more than 60 times. In this episode, you will hear from Mandy & Liz tell you exactly what went wrong in this case and how this case exemplifies a much bigger problem in our judicial system. You’ll also hear from survivor Chloe Bess, who was slut-shamed in court by Senator Brad Hutto after she was assaulted by Bowen Turner. How can you help?

MMP #37 - "Dear Cory": Letters, Lies And The Law
There is A LOT to unpack about Cory Fleming. So much, that it doesn’t all fit into one episode. But this week, we received a shocking document showing Fleming’s apparent defense — and it includes a letter and text messages between Alex and Cory as Alex sat in both a Florida rehab facility and a SC jail respectively. In episode 37, Mandy, Liz and Eric Bland unpack both Cory Fleming’s bond hearing and his shocking defense in a plea to the Georgia Bar. It seems like Cory isn’t going down without a fight, even after a hard fall from grace.

MMP #35 - The Old Guard Is Changing: A Bombshell Deposition
A recently released deposition has revealed troubling accusations about a powerful judge who is at the helm of criminal and civil procedures in the Lowcountry. If her involvement in the Gloria Satterfield case was as intentional as the depositions say, then the South Carolina justice system – where judges are pretty much untouchable – has a huge problem on its hands. In this episode, Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell pick apart Chad Westendorf's deposition led by Eric Bland.

MMP #34 - Above The Law?
On Monday, Alex Murdaugh’s attorneys Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin filed a federal lawsuit in an attempt to block Richland County from releasing more jailhouse calls through the Freedom of Information Act. In today’s episode, we tell you exactly why this case isn’t a typical true crime story and why Alex isn’t your typical (alleged) criminal. In this case, we’re dealing with a former public official and a whole lot of alleged public corruption. As we peel back the layers of history in the Murdaugh family, We see that Alex and Paul Murdaugh’s misdeeds didn’t happen in a vacuum. For decades, it appears like people have been looking the other way as the Murdaugh family’s unchecked power spun out of control.
