  • Summary

  • The Murdaugh family was one of South Carolina's most powerful legal families. Three generations of Murdaughs held the position of solicitor in the lowcountry for almost one hundred years. In February of 2019 a boat crash killed 19 year old Mallory Beach. Paul Murdaugh, the son of prominent SC attorney, Alex Murdaugh, was charged with three felony counts of boating under the influence, including causing the death of Mallory Beach. June 7, 2021 Alex Murdaugh found his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul, brutally murdered, shot to death on their property known as Moselle. On March 2, 2023 Alex was convicted of murdering Maggie and Paul. Between the murders and the convictions many other crimes came to light. No one could have expected the twists and turns the story has taken and it is not finished. Seton Tucker and Matt Harris started the Impact of Influence podcast soon after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. You may have seen them talking about the Murdaugh saga on CourtTV, Murdaugh documentaries on Oxygen and Fox Nation and episodes on American Greed and Nancy Grace. Seton and Matt continue updating the Murdaugh story and are now covering other crimes that have occurred throughout the Southeast. Impact of Influence is now a Youtube channel You can find them on their Impact of Influence FB page or Mattharrispodcast@gmail.com

    Seton and Matt read part of the in-camera conference that took place in Judge Newman's chambers shortly before Juror 785 was dismissed from the jury in Alex Murdaugh's double murder trial. Does this corroborate or contradict what Myra, Juror 785, has stated to the media and in her book? What are the potential implications for Alex Murdaugh's appeal? We discuss with Seton's father and attorney Matt Siembieda. Matt Siembieda is an attorney and law professor at Temple Law School.

  • Reactions To Interview With Dismissed Juror 785

    Reactions To Interview With Dismissed Juror 785
    Sep 5 2024
    Seton and Matt's interview with juror 785, Myra Catherine Crosby, invoked some strong reaction from listeners. They discuss those comments and other thoughts from listeners. The interview with Crosby can be found on the Impact of Influence Youtube channel and it was the previous episode in podcast form. Myra Catherine Crosby was removed from the Alex Murdaugh jury the same day Alex was found guilty of murdering his wife and son. Crosby, nicknamed the "egg juror' by the media believes there was an effort to have her removed form the jury because she was not 100% convinced that the State had met the burden of proof in convicting Murdaugh. Crosby is convinced Becky Hill, the Clerk of Court, is guilty of jury tampering. She tells her story in the book Juror 785 "Because Enough is Enough" Impact of Influence is part of the Evergreen Podcasting Network Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh.

For People Who Prefer Their Facts from First Hand Sources

If you’d rather hear canned presentations from the traveling band of pundits who chase the latest headline, this is not for you. But, if you want fresh information from people who know the facts, the history, the ramifications of in-court and out of court decisions and the reverberation in the lives of the people left to put their lives together after the case is decided and the famous people have flown off to find the next courthouse lawn, this podcast is for you.

Just Keeps Getting Better

I really am enjoying this podcast. Every time I listen, it gets better. They interview experts in various fields: from a local historian to a legal analyst, an expert on FOIA, and a local reporter who was first on the scene of the murders. It's educational and informative, and, most importantly, factual. I enjoy the conversational format as well; makes for easy listening, like being a guest at a dinner party with well-informed guests discussing the local Murdaugh saga.

No Depth

No depth or analysis of the issues in this case. Occasionally a guest will offer good insight. Hosts not so much. Compared to other Murdaugh Murder podcast this is very lacking. Still listen to see if I’ve missed any news but don’t enjoy as much.

Balanced!

Enjoyed your balanced coverage and discussions. Had to delete another podcast that was horribly skewed and cringy. Thank you!

I've listened to other Murdaugh Podcasts

but this one is a step above because it seems more objective than some of the others. No doubt that might irritate some, but for those of us who appreciate fact sharing and not dramatization, this is a great listen.
