trying to learn everything I can about what happened that night and what led up to it, why Alec Murdoch, in my view, got to the point where he was capable and did, in fact, kill his wife and son.
So I agree with you.
I think the state made a very strong case.
But in the end, what's so crazy is that Alec Murdoch was the son of this incredible privilege, four generations of incredible privilege.
And it used to be the case, people said it all the time, well, the rules don't apply to Alec Murdoch.
He can do whatever he wants and did for the better part of 50 years.
But in this instance, with a little bit of benefit of time, now that it's been three years since the verdict,
I think it came down to the Supreme Court to, do the rules not apply to Alec Murdoch?
Meaning, if anyone else in the state with this set of circumstances might have gotten a new trial, shouldn't Alec get one too?
Even though we think he's a scourge on the legal profession and a deeply bad person, the rules have got to apply to everyone here.
They were universally known in the low country, these five counties of southeastern South Carolina, for the better part of 100 years.
His great-grandfather had founded this law firm in...
in Hampton, this tiny little town in 1910.
And then immediately in 1920 was elected solicitor, which is the DA for five counties.
So for a hundred mile radius, his great-grandfather was the prosecutor.
In small towns in South Carolina in those days, law enforcement was a sheriff,
and a part-time deputy, and maybe a jailer.
In Hampton, he lived below the jail, right?
That was it.
So the district attorney, the solicitor, was the finder of fact.
