FROM THE VAULT – ShortHand: Mandy Matney – A Murdaugh Update

In 2024, a year on from RedHanded’s episode on the Murdaugh Family Murders, we had the great pleasure of talking to Mandy Matney, the foremost independent expert on the Murdaugh family and their rampant trail of destruction through South Carolina. Mandy filled us in on everything that happened since we last checked in – including Stephen Smith’s death being re-classified as a murder and the potential for a retrial. -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

FROM THE VAULT – The Murdaugh Family Murders | #287

BREAKING NEWS: Alex Murdaugh WILL face a new trial. A South Carolina court has overturned the 2023 murder convictions of ex-lawyer Alex Murdaugh. Five out of five Supreme Court judges ruled that he deserved a new trial because the jury had been unfairly biased against him. Listen to our full episode from 2023, to get the full story on one of the most sprawling true crime cases out there… -- The Murdaugh murders are not one story; they are a seemingly endless web of lies, entitlement, and confusion. At the centre of the web are the bodies of Paul and Maggie Murdaugh, found at their hunting lodge. But tangled in it are the tragic deaths of three other completely innocent people, dragged in by the most powerful family in South Carolina. -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

Leo Schofield – Part 2: The Wrong Man | #450

As wrongful convictions go, the trial of Leo Schofield – who stood accused of killing his young wife Michelle Schofield – had it all: bias, speculation, and pure fabrication. And through the years, through a combination of bad luck and bad representation, Schofield stayed behind bars. In this second part, we look at how this cold case finally warmed up, thanks in no small part to the journalists behind Bone Valley. And, the bigger question: if not Leo, then who? -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

ShortHand: Shen Yun: The World’s Most Entertaining Cult

Critically lauded dance troupe, or sinister, human-trafficking, brainwashing, child-abusing cult? However you slice it, there is a lot more going on to Shen Yun than the glitzy public posters let on. This week we open the curtain on Shen Yun, and the cult behind it, Falun Gong – whose founder Li Hongzhi believes he can levitate, predict the future and read his followers’ minds. So: what does Falun Gong want to achieve? What do we make of their claims of torture, at the hands of the Chinese government? And HOW exactly how do they sell out shows of traditional Chinese dancing in every major city across the world? -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]

ShortHand: Rabies

A deadly virus that causes hydrophobia, frothing at the mouth and delirious aggression might sound more like science fiction than real life. But that’s what awaited 15-year-old Jeanna Giese when she was bitten by a rabid bat in 2004. This is the history of one of the oldest and most deadly viruses known to man – and how a 15-year-old girl and her doctor managed to overcome it, against all odds. This is the ShortHand. -- Patreon [http://patreon.com/redhanded] - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA] - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod] / Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/]
