Published: Sept. 26, 2023, 4:05 a.m.

b"Well, things keep getting crazier and crazier in the 'Land of No Consequences'.\\nCo-hosts Mandy Matney, Liz Farrell and Eric Bland discuss what happened at Alex Murdaugh\\u2019s federal plea hearing and how it\\u2019s just one step in a much larger plan. Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin seem to have one goal right now and that\\u2019s to get Alex moved to federal prison. There\\u2019s one person standing in their way: Judge Clifton Newman. On today\\u2019s episode we get into Alex\\u2019s federal plea hearing and how it\\u2019s just one step in his overall goal, which is likely to serve out his time in federal prison.\\n\\nAlso on the show, we talk about how Cory Fleming is not as sorry as he seemed. Not only is Alex Murdaugh up to his usual trickery, but Cory Fleming \\u2014 the man who has twice gone in front of a judge to cry about how remorseful he is and how undeserving he is of mercy \\u2014 is already trying to get out of his state sentence.\\n\\nAnyway, we\\u2019re dedicating today\\u2019s episode to listener Trista from Mount Pleasant aka\\xa0@tristathebarista\\xa0on Instagram.
