Alex Murdaugh Convictions OVERTURNED — I Said This Could Happen May 13, 2026

Show notes

The Alex Murdaugh case has taken a stunning turn.

According to the South Carolina Supreme Court opinion discussed in this video, Richard Alexander Murdaugh's murder convictions have been reversed, and the case has been remanded for a new trial. The Court focused on improper communications between Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill and members of the jury, finding that those outside influences violated Murdaugh's constitutional right to a fair trial by an impartial jury.

This is not an acquittal. This is a new trial.

In this episode of Crime Talk, we break down why the Court applied the Remmer presumption of prejudice, why the State failed to overcome it, what Rule 606(b) means for juror testimony, and how the Court addressed the financial-crimes evidence that played such a major role in the original trial.

The biggest question now: What happens next for Alex Murdaugh?

Drop your thoughts in the comments. Did the Court get it right?

D4vd Case Takes Dark Turn: Hearing Delayed Over Massive Evidence Review May 12, 2026

Show notes

The D4vd case has taken another major turn. According to court details, the preliminary hearing for singer D4vd, legally named David Anthony Burke, has been postponed until late June as prosecutors review a large amount of evidence, including lab reports, police reports, photos, videos, arrest records, and forensic material.

The case centers on the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Prosecutors have filed serious charges, while Burke has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence. This remains an active case, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

In today's true crime update, we break down why this delay matters, what prosecutors say they are reviewing, and why this case is drawing national attention.
