This is Hidden Killers with Tony Bruske.

Here now, Tony Bruske.

Alec Murdo.

What does the future hold for this gentleman?

And I want to preface this story we're about to get into

as I am not sticking up for Alec Mirdon.

I am asking you to have an open mind because the possibility of an Alic Mertau retrial

is very real because of the whole Becky Hill stuff.

And there's some other things, too.

But with that being said, if Alec Murdoch were to go to trial again

and the financial crimes were not part of the story,

would they convict him?

Would it be enough on its own?

It's a tough question, and it's one a lot of people don't want to answer simply based on emotion. Of course they would. He's horrible. He did that. It's great. Yes, there's a lot of people that do a lot, a lot of horrible things. But because the horrible things over here that they did don't necessarily equal the horrible thing over here that someone is accused of.

And I'm not saying he didn't kill his family. I think the odds are probably did. But in a

court of law, you have to prove it. You have to go beyond a reasonable doubt. And if you take the

emotion out of it, if you take the financial weight of all of the crimes that the jury

heard about out of the equation and all that extra weight that was on that scale, if you remove

all of that and you just try them on the facts of the murder? I don't know. I don't know that you

can do it. Or can you? Again, that's not an opinion of,

do I think he did it or not? It's an opinion of do I think you can prove it or not in a court

of law. Let's go through this. Okay. And let's have an open mind. Take the emotion on of it for a moment and just think.
