Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell and attorney Eric Bland — (3:21) talk about the big reveal this past week of A-List Hollywood actor Jason Clarke in full costume as Alex Murdaugh. Clarke, who stars in the upcoming Hulu production based on the Murdaugh Murders Podcast — now True Sunlight Podcast — was seen filming in Atlanta and … let’s just say he has more than just the LUNSHARK team excited for the series.
It turns out the fake Alex Murdaugh wasn’t the only one getting headlines this past week. The lawyers for the real (13:35) Alex did what the lawyers for the real Alex do best and that’s getting mainstream media to help them wrongly paint the state Attorney General’s Office as sneaky and underhanded. As usual, it’s much ado about nothing.
Also on the show, (34:08) will Buster Murdaugh’s latest strategy in his federal defamation case against Warner Brothers actually work? Mandy and Liz pick Eric’s brain on whether Alex’s remaining son has a chance.
Plus the latest in the (49:01) Sara Lynn Colucci case and why prosecutors need to rethink their interactions with victims and their families.
