Former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis provides complete legal analysis of two major cases — the Alex Murdaugh Supreme Court oral arguments and the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation.
The Murdaugh hearing produced aggressive questioning from the bench, with justices pressing the state on Becky Hill's perjury conviction, the jury tampering standard Toal applied, and the unchecked admission of financial crime evidence under Rule 404(b). Chief Justice Kittredge called the corroboration of tampering allegations "striking." Justice Few challenged the state's ability to defend Hill's credibility. Griffin argued there's no direct evidence — no eyewitnesses, no weapons, no biological transfer. Faddis weighs the three possible outcomes and explains why a federal appeal may follow regardless.
In the Guthrie case, Faddis breaks down eleven days of documented investigative failures by the Pima County Sheriff's Department — the premature crime scene release, the grounded thermal imaging aircraft, the ten-day gap on footage the FBI ultimately recovered, and the family's decision to communicate with alleged kidnappers through Instagram. On the prosecution side, the forty-one-minute pacemaker window anchors the forensic timeline, but the path from timeline to defendant remains unclear. Faddis identifies what needs to happen next for both cases.
