The podcast discusses a motion filed by Mr. Lafitte in Lemony Snicket's case, asking the government to produce reports related to any alleged crimes committed by their witnesses which could be used to defend himself in court. They also talk about the prosecution's questioning of Russell in a bond hearing about taking loans from Hannah Plyler's account.
A second motion for a new trial has been filed by Russell's appellate team, citing newly discovered evidence of Lafitte's innocence. The motion states that Murdoch took full responsibility for his actions and testified that Lafitte had no knowledge of his criminal activities.
Russell Lafitte was interviewed by his cousin, an investigative journalist, outside an abandoned farmhouse about his involvement in the case. The interview raised more questions about his guilt and the details of the case.
A motion was made accusing the state of altering photos of Ellex's bloodstained shirt, which contradicts a previous motion, and is being misreported in headlines to mislead the public.
Russell's attorneys want all federal charges against him to be dismissed due to errors in the government's indictments which they say affect his ability to defend himself, including correcting typos such as "LawFin" to "LawFirm".
Alex talks about the recent news that Paul Murdaugh has hired attorney Mark Moore for his appellate case in addition to his current defense attorneys, and how this is not unusual but has led to speculation about his current attorneys.
