Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield. Welcome back to another episode of Drop Dead

0:08.5

Serious. I think you're going to love today's conversation. Honestly, this is one of those

0:16.5

conversations that I covet, super in-depth, really, really informative from one of the smarter people

0:23.8

who knows his shit for lack of a better description. And I wanted to have this conversation with

0:30.2

my guest today because there's just so much I don't know and all of us don't know that

getting inside the mind of a homicide prosecutor really, really sort of helps to get closer.

You probably know this, but for the first time since the murders in Moscow, Idaho, thousands of pages of evidence that have been hidden behind a sweeping gag order.

0:51.7

I think there will be things that stay under a gag order, and that is for the

1:37.9

Basically every single thing that the public has not been allowed to see.

1:42.3

And to break down what we can expect if slash when

1:46.8

that gag order is lifted. What's at stake? What surprises might actually be waiting in those files?

1:53.5

I called Matt Murphy. Matt is a former Orange County prosecutor who has tried some of the most

1:59.1

high profile serial killer and

2:01.2

murder cases in California. And he's so insightful because he doesn't just do the job. He really
