Why It Makes NO SENSE For Murdaugh's Attorneys To Make Up Allegations Of Jury Tampering
Sep 14, 2023, 03:00 PM
The mysterious undertones of the Alex Murdaugh trial continue to captivate listeners nationwide. Recently, Defense Attorney Bob Motta and Tony Brueski of the "Hidden Killers" podcast embarked on a captivating discussion surrounding the potential interference with jury members. Was this a lone incident or a dark pattern finally coming to light?
In a recent episode of the "Hidden Killers" podcast, Tony Brueski and Bob Motta, defense attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," explored the enigmatic circumstances surrounding Alex Murdaugh and his courtroom proceedings. Motta, with seasoned insight, questioned the larger implications of allegations against a particular individual believed to have had undue influence over the jurors.
A significant part of the discussion revolved around the conduct of an unnamed individual, with Motta emphasizing, "I absolutely believe these affidavits. I cannot see any reason whatsoever why these jurors would be making this stuff up outta whole cloth." There have been allegations that this individual met with the jury's foreperson in private, raising questions about the possibility of jury tampering or influencing.
Brueski and Motta agreed on the credibility of the juror's statements, with Brueski noting, "You're either gonna believe that or you're gonna believe that. I'm choosing to believe the jurors. They just have no stake in the game."
The podcast touched upon the potential fallout if these allegations hold merit. A primary concern was whether other trials presided over by the same individual would now come under scrutiny. As Motta articulated, "It's like one of those nightmare scenarios... like when you have a prosecutor that gets outed that was cheating. You have to review all of them."
However, what makes the Murdaugh trial particularly significant is its magnified public attention. Drawing parallels to the O.J. Simpson trial, Brueski and Motta acknowledged the weighty implications of any misconduct during such a high-profile case. In Motta's words, "You know, it was literally one of those trials they happen... like O.J. and then this."
Playing devil's advocate, Brueski questioned what would unfold if the allegations turned out to be exaggerated or unfounded. In such a scenario, Motta pointed out that the consequences for those making the allegations would be severe, potentially including disbarment and arrest for suborning perjury.
The conversation also shed light on the complex nature of relationships in the legal world and how they can influence courtroom outcomes. Motta highlighted Murdaugh's talent in leveraging personal relationships, stating, "He was that type of guy where he had those types of relationships and he leveraged them."
Despite the passionate discourse, the two hosts were aligned on one crucial point: Defense attorneys, including those representing Murdaugh, have a duty to uphold. As Motta firmly put it, "We have a job to do. We're absolutely critical."
In wrapping up the engrossing discussion, Motta speculated that the individual at the heart of the controversy might not have been acting out of character. He noted, "Like she seems so comfortable with it... I'm assuming it's not the first time that they've done it."
The allegations surrounding the Alex Murdaugh trial continue to stoke the flames of intrigue. As investigations and discussions, like those on "Hidden Killers", advance, one thing is certain – the quest for truth, in this case, is far from over.
