Just when you think the Murdaugh saga can’t get any worse, along comes Greg Parker....

In this episode Mandy & Liz take a look at two shocking admissions Parker made to Valerie Bauerlein in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend; and we correct the record on journalism. Plus comments from Sandy Smith's attorney Mike Hemlepp. Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Please consider donating to the Justice For Stephen Go Fund Me.

MMP #56 - 'The Magic Men' - What Happened To The Plyler Sisters?
The Plyler sisters were just little girls when Alex Murdaugh and Russell Laffitte entered their world. Now, more than 15 years later, they are discovering all the ways these two men (allegedly) secretly enriched themselves off their settlement money. We talk with Alania Plyler about what it was like having Russell Laffitte as her conservator and the betrayal she now feels knowing what he was doing the entire time. Plus legal analysis on what duties a conservator is supposed to perform from Eric Bland. The Murdaugh Murders Podcast is created by Mandy Matney and Luna Shark Productions.

MMP #54 - Our Entire System On Trial
We believe the entire system is on trial here. And it’s time the Attorney General’s office starts understanding that citizens of South Carolina demand transparency and zealous attention to restore public faith. In this episode we take a deep dive into the perplexing prosecution strategies and deliberate defense strategies swirling around the various criminal charges pointed at Alex Murdaugh. Mandy and Liz revisit odd statements made by the Murdaugh camp early in the double homicide investigation and how their original purpose might be making more sense. Plus spirited analysis from Eric Bland and more on Russell Laffitte’s upcoming bond hearing for new federal charges including bank fraud and wire fraud. All the while, we are left wondering why Creighton Waters appears to have lost his initial confidence and we search for reasons behind Attorney General Alan Wilson’s absence from the fray.
