3. Alex Murdaugh trial: Power, privilege, murder and the downfall of a dynasty
- For generations, the Murdaugh family dominated their rural swath of South Carolina - then Alex Murdaugh was accused of the brutal murders of his wife and son.
- What followed was the stunning unravelling of a life of power and privilege, exposing embezzlement, drug abuse and a failed hitman suicide plot.

The other seemed much more like the man that other witnesses had described.
