One week after Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to life for killing his wife and son, Murdaugh Murders Podcast co-hosts Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell \u2014 and everyone\u2019s favorite attorney Eric Bland \u2014 take a look at the questions surrounding a juror\u2019s connections to a witness, the problems with the judicial selection process in South Carolina and the need for reform and Russell Laffitte\u2019s overdue bills.\n\nIt\u2019s been over a week since Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to two consecutive life terms for killing his wife and son, and there hasn\u2019t been a break in the news.\n\nOn Monday, federal Judge Richard Gergel denied Russell Laffitte\u2019s motion for a new trial. Now his case moves to the appeals phase, which Russell will go through without the help of his original attorneys Bart Daniel and Matt Austin because on Thursday Bart and Matt filed a motion to dump Russell. Apparently Alex\u2019s co-conspirator hasn\u2019t paid the balance of his legal bill at Nelson Mullins.\n\nAccording to our amazing co-host Eric Bland, Russell will be sentenced in May or June of this year and, after reading Judge Gergel\u2019s scathing order Monday, we\u2019re all expecting he\u2019ll receive a significant punishment.\xa0\n\nWe have a really interesting show for you today. We talked about the unwarranted criticism surrounding James the Juror and his connection to the Colleton County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Dick Harpootlian\u2019s Good Ole Boy fragility and the need for judicial reform in this state.\n\n\nWe all want to drink from the same Cup Of Justice \u2014 and it starts with learning about our legal system.
