Summary

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell were pleasantly surprised last week to find out how much power the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office’s packed with its punch back to Alex Murdaugh and his increasingly embarrassing attempts at getting his murder conviction overturned. Six attorneys at the AG’s office — including Creighton “BCE” Waters himself — compiled a nearly flawless 182-page response to Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffith’s arguments in favor of an appeal. Let’s just say, BCE and Co. ate and left no crumbs.🍪 But! It's high time for SC Attorney General Alan Wilson to start focusing on getting justice in other cases … like Alex’s unindicted co-conspirators, bringing the Michael Colucci case in front of the grand jury again and re-examining the need for criminal charges in Scott Spivey’s killing. PLUS (27:46) we continue our look into North Myrtle Beach businessman Weldon Boyd’s co-shooter Bradley Williams and things aren’t looking good for him...Let’s dive in! 🥽🦈Episode References Therapist Alexandra Armas Tuck’s Website 🌐 Sunlight on Scott Spivey Spotify Playlist 🎧 Horry County Officer Writes “ACT LIKE A VICTIM - CAMERA” on Note to Homicide Suspects 🎞️ Premium ResourcesAlex Murdaugh’s Initial Brief of Appellant - Dec 10, 2024 📄 State of SC’s Initial Brief of Respondent - Aug 8, 2025 📄 Justice Toal’s Order Denying Alex Murdaugh a New Trial - April 4, 2024 📄 Stay Tuned, Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight...☀️ Learn more about Premium Membership at ⁠⁠⁠⁠lunashark.supercast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠ to get bonus episodes like our Premium Dives, Corruption Watchlist, Girl Talk, and Soundbites that help you Stay Pesky and Stay in the Sunlight ⁠⁠⁠⁠Premium Members ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠also get access to ad-free listening, searchable case files, written articles with documents, case photos, episode videos and exclusive live experiences with our hosts on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠lunasharkmedia.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ all in one place. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CLICK HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to learn more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/3BdUtOE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

0:00.0	I don't know why Alan Wilson is still choosing to protect Weldon Boyd and his co-shooter Bradley Williams,
0:10.0	especially considering the major political risk involved.
0:14.0	But as our team digs deeper into Bradley Williams in the absurd good old boy treatment that they got from the cops on scene,
0:21.6	we're seeing potential big trouble for old Bradley, especially if he stays on Team Weldon.
0:33.7	My name is Mandy Matney. This is True Sunlight, a podcast exposing crime and corruption, previously known as the Murdoch Murders podcast.
0:44.2	True Sunlight is a Luna Shark production written with journalist Liz Farrell.
0:53.1	First of all, I want to start this show by wishing a very special fan and friend a happy birthday.
1:00.0	Happy birthday to the amazing Los Angeles-based therapist who is now taking remote clients in South Carolina, Alexandra Armis Tuck.
1:11.2	Alexandra reached out to us last summer as we were navigating the dark world of Micah Francis's
1:17.4	medical records.
1:18.6	Her Instagram message said something like, hey, I'm a licensed therapist and y'all are right.
1:24.1	Nothing that JP is saying about Micah's diagnosis makes any sense, and I am more than
1:29.6	happy to look through her health records and tell you what I see. That message started a beautiful
1:35.6	friendship. Nothing like bonding over true crime, mental health, and female advocacy. We planned a
1:42.2	call last summer, and then we started a girl talk that just never
1:45.7	ended. I didn't know it at the time just how badly I needed Alexandra in my life. I was still recovering
1:51.5	from serious depression from the Murdoch investigation, where I lost faith in humanity, and I lost my
1:57.6	sense of direction and purpose. I had been burned badly by people I thought I trusted
2:03.1	for a while. And for a while there, I thought my circle was completely closed, and I started to be
2:09.1	okay with that. I mean, I had nine bridesmaids. I sadly thought I hit the limit of besties.
2:14.9	Alexandra taught me that friendship circles should never close because as your
