The death penalty is back on the table. The Murdaugh family is fractured. And the defense just hinted at “third parties and potential motives.” Alex Murdaugh’s second trial hasn’t started, and already the landscape looks nothing like the first. Tony Brueski and former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke go through listener questions covering the three biggest dynamics nobody is talking about heading into the retrial. First: the attorney general who controls the prosecution is running for governor in a primary where Murdaugh is the defining issue. He just said death penalty is on the table. Every candidate running to replace him as AG has pledged to retry the case. The retrial isn’t just a legal proceeding—it’s a campaign event. Second: the family. Buster reportedly won’t visit his father. Sources close to him are calling Alex selfish. The brothers who declared his innocence in 2021 have gone quiet. The defense needs family support it may no longer have. Third: the defense is publicly teasing a third-party theory. Harpootlian says the reversal gives them subpoena power. Griffin says people have come forward with new information. Was someone else supposed to be the one that night? Robin brings behavioral analysis to every layer. A Hidden Killers investigation.
