Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland have read the 182-page response filed Friday evening by the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office in Alex Murdaugh’s appellate case and it is BEYOND fiery. Prosecutors pulled no punches when deconstructing every single one of Team Murdaugh’s intellectually dishonest and time-wasting arguments in pursuit of getting his murder conviction overturned. They also laid out the facts of the case — and all of the compelling evidence against Alex — in what is the clearest account of what happened in June 2021 yet. Mandy, Liz and Eric break down the best parts of the filing. Their conclusion? Anyone who STILL thinks Alex Murdaugh didn’t get a fair trial needs to read every word of this response before talking. Also on the show, Congresswoman Nancy Mace has announced she’s running for South Carolina governor... Will Nancy’s antics and reputation put much-needed pressure on her biggest opponent, Attorney General Alan Wilson, to do his job?
