The Re-Trial Of Alex Murdaugh

by True Crime Today

The South Carolina Supreme Court threw out Alex Murdaugh's murder convictions. Unanimously. Now the most-watched criminal case in state history starts over — new judge, new jury, new rules — and this is where you follow every step of it. From Hidden Killers host Tony Brueski, The Re-Trial of Alex Murdaugh delivers real-time legal analysis, courtroom coverage, and expert interviews as the State decides whether and how to retry the disbarred attorney for the June 2021 killings of his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul. The Supreme Court didn't just reverse the verdict — it rewrote the playbook. The financial crimes evidence that dominated the first trial has been sharply restricted. The jury tampering by former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill, who pled guilty to perjury, has been laid bare in a devastating 27-page opinion. Everything about this case is different now. This podcast covers what matters: pretrial motions, venue fights, evidentiary rulings, witness strategy, jury selection, and the legal collisions that will determine whether Murdaugh is convicted again or walks on the murder charges. No filler. No recycled takes. No speculation dressed up as analysis. Just the case, the law, and what it means — explained by someone who has covered every turn of this story from the beginning.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I like the quick updates throughout the day. I like hearing full testimony episodes when I have the time as well. Those two things make this a good choice for listening. I wish the host would pronounce Har-poot-lee-enne correctly and consistently(not because I believe the man, I do appreciate proper name pronunciation). As for Alec/Alex even the actual guy pronounces his own name differently depending on who he is speaking with so that’s just a given with the guilty dude’s name. The same ad plays numerous times in a row which can be annoying. Although, that does make it easier to skip over so I understand the decision. Still 5 stars because I’m not an unreasonable person.

Cleagues · Feb 2023

When I can’t listen live, this is a great way to hear the trial and catch up! Some of the episodes with commentators are interesting, but I mainly listen to the recordings of the actual trial. If I’m unable to watch or listen live, this allows me to get ready for the next day.

cwhogg · Feb 2023

I really like Tony and am invested in all murdaugh related content but why is the show like 5 minutes of content and the rest is ads? It’s all ads after the 5 min segment. Podcasts are supposed to be something we can relax and settle into. This is blink of an eye and over.

Ctmb18 · Dec 2023

The content of this podcast is great. Unfortunately, it consists of repeated advertisements, sometimes one ad repeated 2 to 4 times in one episode. Maybe an editing problem. Just need to know when to turn it off at the end.

T 595 · Mar 2023

I’ve never listened to a podcast with more ads. Sometimes, the same ads are played 2, 4, 5 times in a row. Impossible to listen to, even when using the fast forward function.

pearlwb · Mar 2023

Okay podcast but there are at least 3 minutes straight of ads at the beginning and then sometimes 9 MINUTES worth of ads at the end. Totally insane! Yes, I use the fast forward button, but if you’re multi tasking and can’t get to your phone to skip the ads, you are literally just stuck there listening to 9 minutes of ads and it’s frequently the same 30 sec ad over and over again.
