When does that ever work out for a person?
I suppose it's important to say as well it really doesn't change the state of Alex Murdoch's life.
He will remain in prison for all of the financial and fraud that he committed, the financial crimes and the fraud that he committed.
But I guess what's at play here is cleaning up the Murdo name and the legacy.
I saw a line, you know, the story isn't about whether a man killed his wife and son.
It's about what happens when a family that controlled justice for generations suddenly become the subject of it.
Yeah, and I think, you know, when you watch the documentary, the talking heads are excellent.
All of the young people who are now obviously in their 20s, all of those teenagers who were involved, all the parents of those teenagers, you know, they are able to comment about first-hand witness accounts.
They're able to talk historically about their experiences with the Murdaws.
And by all accounts, the Murdaws
would take people to the Kentucky Derby.
They would go to Guatemala fishing.
They would have big barbecues and they would be drinking.
You know, they would give the kids alcohol from age 13, 14, 15 upwards.
It was just everything was done to excess with this family.
And I think certainly what the prosecution will have to do is dig deep into
into the fabric of this town and really bring out maybe previously unheard witness accounts around the lives and actions of the Murdochs?
And the interesting thing is, again, the Murdaws were known for helping evidence disappear, right?
you know, to get them cleared.
So now it'll be interesting to see whether they will be able to do the same thing in light of this second trial.
