Cup Of Justice COJ #201 - Lying About A Lie Detector? Team Murdaugh’s Round 2 Strategy Collapses With Attorney Noah Pines
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and Atlanta attorney Noah Pines break down the hearing that reset the Murdaugh retrial.
First: why motions to compel barely exist in criminal court — the state is already compelled, constitutionally and statutorily — and why this pile of them looks like Dick asking Creighton to build his trial notebook for him.
Then the demolition of the Cowboys theory in one sentence: if any of it were true, Alex already knows it — and he testified to none of it. Noah weighs in on the man Dick named in open court (though the public record tells a different story), what a cooperation plea really holds over a person, how a lawyer should respond to a judge’s dressing-down — and perhaps why Dick didn’t.
Plus: the DNA ruling’s hidden logic (“if you never hear the results, we all know what that means”), the Eddie Smith problem, and the value of a ‘Bad Reputation’.
