COJ #201 - Lying About A Lie Detector? Team Murdaugh’s Round 2 Strategy Collapses With Attorney Noah Pines
Cup Of JusticeShow Notes
Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and Atlanta attorney Noah Pines break down the hearing that reset the Murdaugh retrial.
First: why motions to compel barely exist in criminal court — the state is already compelled, constitutionally and statutorily — and why this pile of them looks like Dick asking Creighton to build his trial notebook for him.
Then the demolition of the Cowboys theory in one sentence: if any of it were true, Alex already knows it — and he testified to none of it. Noah weighs in on the man Dick named in open court (though the public record tells a different story), what a cooperation plea really holds over a person, how a lawyer should respond to a judge’s dressing-down — and perhaps why Dick didn’t.
Plus: the DNA ruling’s hidden logic (“if you never hear the results, we all know what that means”), the Eddie Smith problem, and the value of a ‘Bad Reputation’.
