On this week's court TV podcast, a criminal scandal surrounding a prominent family of

lawyers in the low country of South Carolina. They had money, power

and privilege until it began to unravel when Alec Murdoch's wife Maggie and his son Paul

were shot and killed on the family's sprawling hunting lodge.
