COJ #109: Four More Trials For Alex Murdaugh’s Banker Buddy? + What Shook Us About The CEO Assassin Suspect

  • Summary

  • Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell — and attorney Eric Bland — discuss the first post-prison court appearance of Alex Murdaugh’s alleged co-conspirator Russell Laffitte. On Monday, Russell was looking like a different and defeated man when his whiny attorneys — Mark Moore and state Rep. Todd Rutherford — tried to postpone his state court date to “Never” and asked the court to unfreeze his $10 million to $12 million (!) fortune so they can get paid. The biggest news to come out of the courtroom Monday was that Russell could end up having THREE state trials, in addition to his federal one. Also on the show, Mandy, Liz and Eric talk about the arrest of Luigi Mangione — aka the alleged “CEO Assassin” — and his unlikely (and questionable) rise to folk hero. The murder of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson has led to a cultural shift, where people took to social media to share their horror stories with health insurance companies. Will that conversation stop now that an arrest has been made? 🥽 Let's Dive In... 🦈 Premium Episode Resources Eric Bland's New Book!!! Mandy's Book in Paperback!!
