Murdaugh Murder Trial Part 2 - Did Alex Murder His Wife & Son?
Podcast:Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan Published On: Fri Oct 30 2026 Description: What if Alex Murdaugh didn't murder his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul? What if Alex Murdaugh was judged guilty because the jury was stunned by information of financial crimes and drug addiction and believed if a man could do all the things Murdaugh was accused of doing, murdering his wife and son seemed more than just possible. And what if a trusted clerk of court was putting ideas into the heads of some jury members that led them to believe Murdaugh was a murderer. Alex Murdaugh’s double-murder conviction was officially overturned on May 13, 2026. The South Carolina Supreme Court unanimously reversed his 2023 convictions and ordered a new trial. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack review the evidence that led to his conviction the first time to determine if a second guilty verdict is likely...or was an innocent man convicted for all the wrong reasons?
