MMP Remastered #58 - ‘If You Come For The King, You Best Not Miss’ - Chaos In The Murder Case
True Sunlight
Did the Defense Mischaracterize Prosecutor Emails?
Liz and David dissect how Creighton's request for edits was portrayed by the defense as coercive and delaying.
In this remastered episode from August 2022, producer David Moses reflects on the chaotic period just after Alex Murdaugh was first charged with murdering Maggie and Paul.
Looking back from November 2025, after Murdaugh's conviction and two life sentences plus the other 40+ years for financial crimes, Mandy examines how Harpootlian's strategy weaponized every procedural motion to create confusion and control headlines.
The episode also marked an amazing milestone: the announcement of Luna Shark's collaboration with YouTuber Eric Allen Daume, who would later help us create the official podcast for Hulu's "Murdaugh: Death and the Family."
This remaster proves that despite all the manufactured chaos, truth ultimately prevailed—sunlight really is the best disinfectant.
