Why Alex Murdaugh is Getting a Do-Over

Earlier this year, Alex Murdaugh’s 2023 double murder conviction was overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court - due to “shocking jury interference.” Phoebe interviews Wall Street Journal reporter Valerie Bauerlein about what happened, and about the long history of law-breaking behavior in the Murdaugh dynasty.

Valerie Bauerlein's book is "The Devil at His Elbow (goodreads.com/en/book/show/210454076-the-devil…)."
