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.

MMP #21 - Attorneys At War - Part One
Alex Murdaugh‘s “bulldog” defense attorneys, Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin, have apparently launched a war on Satterfield family attorney Eric Bland. While this might seem like a giant distraction to some, it’s important to take a deeper look at these recent moves by Dick and Jim to figure out what exactly is going on here. Are they really trying to silence Eric Bland? Or is this just about egos? Lucky for us, Eric is not intimidated by the recent actions of the defense, and you’ll hear from him a lot this episode. You’ll also hear from attorney Lauren Fox, a South Carolina Bar member, for legal analysis on these recent jaw-dropping actions. Also in this episode, Liz Farrell and Mandy Matney cover the recent judge "switcharoo" in this case and what that could mean.

MMP #18 - How Many Crimes Will Alex Murdaugh Be Charged With? Part One
There are currently seven criminal investigations related to Alex Murdaugh and we'll review the salient points in each to capture a bird's eye view of this heinous saga. The Murdaugh name appears repeatedly in police interviews during the investigation of Stephen Smith's murder, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. In this episode, Investigative Journalist Mandy Matney reviews the funds Alex is alleged to have stolen from the Satterfield estate by false pretense, an obstruction of justice allegation stemming from the criminal investigation of Mallory Beach's death, his identification as a person of interest in the brutal murders of his wife and son, the alleged "suicide for hire" plot and resulting criminal charges, and the new reports of alleged ties to drug gangs, smugglers and perhaps beyond. Mandy also chats with attorney Eric Bland, representing the Satterfield family, share highlights from the ongoing investigations into Murdaugh's actions. To date, the Satterfield family has recovered over $6.5 million in settlements, with Murdaugh as the last remaining defendant at this time.
