So they're looking right now at the fact that she had made these comments during her work as the court clerk to the jurors who she'd had contact with throughout the trial, talking about his credibility, asking them to look at his body language.

interference that only came to light fully once the case had been trialed and the decision reached.

And then jurors started speaking out about the influence.

And you know what's interesting, Clarice, you're right.

You know, there have been so many podcasts, the documentaries on this.

And as I was sort of going back through the case, because, you know, it's as famous here as it is around the world.

It sort of stood out that Maggie Murdoch is barely mentioned.

She was the 52-year-old wife of Alec.

And I found her obituary, she has one surviving son, that described her as having a heart of pure generosity.

She adored her family.

She'll be remembered as a second mum forever.

from her son's many friends.

And she made the most out of every situation and lived each day to the fullest.

And actually, when you go back to the details of the case, they were estranged at the time.

She was in a separate beach house that they owned.

She then went back to the family's estate and was later found to have been shot alongside her son with, as we said, her husband accused.

And so, yeah, this isn't by any means, you know, the details of the case are shocking and they reverberated because it's got everything right.

You know, it's got the power, the influence, this legal dynasty of the Murdoch family in South Carolina and all that comes with it.

There's lots of other twists and turns linked to it.

But, you know, yeah, at the heart of it is 52-year-old Maggie Murdoch and her son, Paul Murdoch, who were killed.
