{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Alex Murdaugh: The Judge Said No to WHAT?!","description":"Alex Murdaugh’s first hearing since his murder convictions were thrown out produced a ruling the defense didn’t expect. The judge denied Murdaugh a laptop in prison, citing the warden’s refusal to allow any inmate personal electronic access. Harpootlian warned that without it, preparing for the April 2027 retrial could stretch well beyond the deadline. The judge said she’d provide a conference room. She also said she doesn’t do continuances.\n\nBeyond the laptop, the defense arrived loaded. Eight new expert witnesses. First-responder transcripts with conflicting accounts about who was at Moselle. A demand for DNA testing through Othram. And a public statement that they have a plan to counter the kennel video. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta evaluates what the defense is building and whether the evidence access problem could actually affect the outcome. Tony Brueski and Bob Motta.\n\nEnd Links:\n\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/\nWant to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
