It’s been a little more than a week since FITSNews exclusively exposed some shocking new developments in the ‘Murdaugh Murders’ crime and corruption saga - revelations which could completely reshape the retrial of accused killer Alex Murdaugh this coming spring.
In the aftermath of our reporting on the alleged conspiracy to cover-up the Palmetto State’s ‘Crime of the Century’ - including the rumored stashing of the yet-to-be-found murder weapons - Murdaugh’s attorneys are pushing S.C. circuit court judge Debra McCaslin to hold investigators and prosecutors accountable for their handling of the case.
Specifically, they want to know what a secret grand jury has uncovered about the crime - and the alleged coverup - that’s been hidden from defense lawyers and from the court.
Judge McCaslin has scheduled a hearing in this case on October 16, 2026 in response to these developments - and allegations that prosecutors are refusing to respond to requests from Murdaugh’s lawyers.
In this week’s episode, our founding editor Will Folks and research director Jenn Wood assess the fallout from the big reveal - and start putting together some of the new puzzle pieces that have been placed on the table.
