As usual, it’s much ado about nothing.  Also on the show, (34:08) will Buster Murdaugh’s latest strategy in his federal defamation case against Warner Brothers actually work? Mandy and Liz pick Eric’s brain on whether Alex’s remaining son has a chance.  Plus the latest in the (49:01) Sara Lynn Colucci case and why prosecutors need to rethink their interactions with victims and their families.
