Buster Murdaugh’s defamation lawsuit against Netflix targets his alleged false portrayal in the documentary series Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal, claiming the program wrongly linked him to the 2015 death of his classmate Stephen Smith. That suit is in state court.
A separate federal suit against Warner Bros. was settled.
In this episode, Matt and Seton attended the latest hearing in the case, and they take you into the courtroom to hear the Netflix, Gannett, and Buster Murdaugh legal teams argue their case.
Seton Tucker and Matt Harris began the Impact of Influence podcast shortly after the murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh. Now they cover true crime, past and present, from the southeast region of the U.S.
