Published: Wed Sep 21 2022
Description
Russell Laffitte and his wife, Susie, gave an epically tone-deaf performance in an effort to get one of his two ankle monitors removed earlier this month. Mandy and Liz take a hard look at a recently released transcript of what went down in federal court on Sept. 6. What should have been a run-of-the-mill hearing, was anything but as Russell and Susie tried to convince a judge that he too is a victim of Alex Murdaugh. We also hear a powerful response from Alania Plyler and stay tuned for more detailed legal analysis from Eric Bland this Friday on our new Cup of Justice Bonus Episode.
