Summary

We talk about the latest in the battle of attorneys in a civil case related to photos of Mallory Beach's body that ended up on the internet and in a TV special. Both sides claim the other leaked the photos, and subpoenas went out asking about communication between an attorney and news outlets and reporters. Jay Bender, the expert on SC Freedom of Information Act, joins us and weighs in and explains the shield law. Our legal analyst, John Snyder, discusses the latest with Alex Murdaugh.
