Tony Brueski takes the listener mail with retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke.\n\nThe defense filed a supplemental motion under Brady and Giglio. It asks the court to order prosecutors to search again for favorable and impeachment material generated since the 2023 trial, then certify in writing that the search was diligent and current. Thirty days.\n\nNow the case that gets a fraction of the coverage. Last spring a circuit court judge quashed the murder indictment in the Michael Colucci prosecution after concluding potentially exculpatory evidence had not been properly disclosed. Former SLED special agent David Owen, the lead investigator in the Moselle murders, faced renewed credibility scrutiny in connection with that matter. Owen retired in June 2024 after twenty-eight years of service.\n\nAt Murdaugh's first trial, Owen acknowledged under cross-examination that SLED waited roughly three months to search the family's Almeda property, even though investigators later theorized Murdaugh may have taken weapons or evidence there. Asked whether that was an opportunity missed, he answered that it probably was.\n\nThe current motion names neither Owen nor anyone else. It asks the state to repeat the entire discovery process against everything that has happened since.\n\nProsecutors have not yet filed a response. Judge Debra McCaslin has tentatively set the retrial for April 5, 2027, with pretrial proceedings in Lexington County.\n\nMaggie Murdaugh and Paul Murdaugh were killed at the family's Colleton County hunting property on June 7, 2021.\n\nMurdaugh's convictions were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court, he awaits retrial, and he is presumed innocent. He has denied the killings of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh throughout.\n\nEND LINKS\n\nJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
