POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell continue to break down how Dick Harpootlian got admonished for lying to the court. Then, in the same Murdaugh Murders Retrial hearing, he may have done it again. 🏛️

☀️ In Part Two, Mandy and Liz unpack the defense’s pile of motions to compel (a civil-case tool, as Judge McCaslin reminded everyone, since the state is already compelled by law), the ruling that lets the defense consume the last of that tiny DNA sample, and the bombshell Dick dropped for the cameras: a man he described as a “drug dealer… doing federal time” who allegedly (according to Dick) said he sold $15,000 to $20,000 a week in pills to the Murdaugh family and PMPED.

📁 Then we checked the public record: the prison records, the federal docket, the plea agreement. It tells a very different story.

Plus: Creighton’s “very, very damning” comment about one of Alec’s ride-or-die friends, and why we’ve reached the point of no return. 🔍

If Judge Carmen Mullen’s top concern was getting someone medical help, wouldn’t she have suggested medical care instead of criminal charges?❓❓❓

Why is Joe McCulloch the Patron Saint of Alex Murdaugh's loyalists? 😇 Greg Alexander could have hired any other attorney in South Carolina. But... he didn't.

📢 Apple Podcasts was being a bit of a B again this morning, but we think it's fixed now. If not, let us know!

☀️ At Friday’s pre-trial hearing in the Murdaugh murders retrial, Judge Debra McCaslin corrected the record on Dick Harpootlian’s claim that Alex passed a polygraph “with flying colors.” He actually failed the only polygraph he ever took on his financial crimes, and he has never been polygraphed about the murders. Then Judge McCaslin delivered the reprimand we never let ourselves hope for: candor with the court is not optional (👀 Mebbie…?).

🏛️ This case will be tried under the rules of evidence, “not in the press and not in the court of public opinion.” Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the polygraph saga fact by fact, the April 5, 2027 trial date showdown (“whether you like it or not”), and the legacy (old man) media coverage that buried the lede.

🪱 Part Two will open a whole can of wriggly worms about Ryan Spencer North and Big Creighton Energy AKA BCE.

Let's. Call. It. Something. Else. 😂

What should we call the dash of audacity that helps Dick Harpootlian stay so confident in himself, no matter what? We’ll take a smidge of it.
