Harp apparently is slipping in his old age or maybe he was just wishful thinking. Either way his comment was reckless and dumb!

He lied to the judge. He should finally be sanctioned

Why does Mr. Harpootlian commit two unforced errors in one week alone?
That makes it necessarily for anyone who wants the truth to read this comment of mine on Nick Reagan’s show:
I hope you’re not one of those journalists already invested in Richard Alexander Murdaugh’s (“RAM”) being wrongfully convicted again; and I hope you have the same access as Anne Emmerson to the photo of Maggie’s phone where and when found the morning after the shootings.
I have no personal connections whatsoever to RAM himself and never knowingly met him or any member of his immediate or extended family. And I have no representation or any other business or personal relationship with any members of RAM’s defense team.
But I am a medical doctor who had Botany pre-med, a year-long course of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology in medical school (from which I graduated WITH HONORS) and later had specialized training in Pathology. I am also an Epidemiologist and Biostatistician, having my MPH from UNC-Chapel Hill. I speak four languages and am highly educated in the literatures of three of them.
Also and more crucially, thank God, WITHOUT A LAWYER, and in the court of none other than Judge Clifton Newman, did for myself what RAM’s entire defense team failed to do for him: prevent a jury from returning a wrongful conviction at the end of a 5-day trial by jury.
Later, again thank God and WITHOUT A LAWYER, I got another jurist to dismiss the false criminal charges against me (which, God forbade, could have gotten me 36 years) WITH PREJUDICE.
So, not only do I know what it is like to be falsely accused, I know most of the prosecutors who are falsely accusing RAM because they, their supervisors, and/or subordinates were the ones falsely accusing me and trying to frame me.
I also know their tactics, their motives, and their lack of remorse.
Having said all that, just take a look at the photo of Maggie’s phone: could a phone have threaded itself between the twigs above it and below it had it been thrown from above from a fast-moving car, or any car?
If you fair-mindedly assess my observation of that photo, you would AT LEAST give serious consideration to my inference: the DNA under Maggie’s left-hand fingernails is that of member of the shooting cabal which descended on Moselle as sun was setting at 8:30 pm on 7 June 2021, lay in waiting until RAM left in his car, then wrestled Maggie’s phone from her left hand to prevent her from using it to call for help, ran with it on foot far enough from Maggie’s reach but hid it by hand in the vegetation close enough for that member of the shooting cabal to return on foot and finish cleaning the scene after the shooting had been done.
Most other so-called journalists are making fools of themselves parroting prosecution theories and excuses.
Bluntly, the field of fools is so crowded there is no more room for one more RAM-hating book or forecast.
Will you be the one journalist who takes a fair and fresh look at everything and allow me to further explain my inferences of RAM’s innocence?
