True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the potential developments if Alex Murdaugh faces a retrial. The conversation explores whether new defense strategies will emerge, including the possibility of introducing a third-party culprit, though Coffindaffer dismisses this due to a lack of evidence. She emphasizes that the first trial’s outcome was heavily influenced by Murdaugh’s poor performance on the stand, suggesting that if a retrial occurs, the defense may be more cautious about allowing him to testify again. The discussion also touches on the financial aspects of Murdaugh's defense, questioning how his legal team will fund expert witnesses and representation, given his apparent lack of accessible funds. Coffindaffer speculates that the Murdaugh family's wealth might still be used to support his defense. Additionally, the conversation highlights the tight-knit nature of the Murdaugh family and their likely continued support for Alex despite the legal challenges. The episode ends with Coffindaffer noting that Becky Hill’s actions may have inadvertently given Murdaugh a chance at a retrial, further complicating the legal saga.
