Dick and Jim ask Judge Newman to strike the state's request for an alibi defense to be provided during the trial of Alex Murdock on account of the state not telling them when and where the murders occurred. The state is allowed to request an alibi defense but the defense isn't obligated to prove its truth, however, the state can ask if the defense is planning on raising one.
The misspelling of Mozelle in the court filing by Dick and Jim is not necessarily an error as the name can be spelled with both Z and S. Some evidence shows that Alec was present at the scene with Maggie and Paul at 8:44 pm before their phones stopped working.
Discrepancies in the alibi of Ellick for the murder of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh have been discovered, as reports state that he had taken his father to the hospital at the time of the killing, but now it seems that he only called the hospital to speak to his father.
Inconsistencies emerged in the MAGPIE Murders case regarding the timeline and phone records. Griffin may have been unaware that the state has evidence that Maggie and Paul were already dead by the time Ehrlich texted them about his whereabouts.
An interpretation of the evidence presented in episode 5 of The Opportunist podcast on the murders of Vernon Dahmer and Louis Allen. Details on Murdoch's alibi and the party line in the minutes and days after the murders are explored.
The source hearsay, which has yet to be confirmed, suggests that Eddie Ellick was concerned about a fight between Paul, his wife's lover, and a groundskeeper that seemed to be escalating, raising questions about whether the murders were planned in advance.
Two contradicting motions have been filed in the Ellex case, with one accusing the state of altering photos of Ellex's bloodstained shirt and demanding photoshop files, while the other seeks to suppress evidence from the shirt altogether.
The defense in the Elrick-Murdoch case claims that the Bloodstain expert's final report contradicts their initial draft and that there were over 100 areas of spatter that could only have come from a person near a high velocity impact. The defense also questions why certain information was blacked out and why the expert's names were released in the motion.
During Elick's initial murder case interview, which lasted around 34 minutes, he wore the bloodstained shirt and wiped his sweaty face with it, as per the body cam footage. This information, along with other pieces of evidence, is included in a stack of quotes in the case's motion.
The host gives a shout out to Suzanne Eaton, a long-time supporter, and names her "Justice" in honor of her rescue.
