Alex Murdaugh murder conviction overturned

A federal appeals court has overturned the conviction of disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh, ordering a new trial after finding significant issues with how evidence was presented to the jury. The ruling marks a major development in one of the country’s most high-profile murder cases, which drew national attention over allegations of financial crimes, corruption and the killings of Murdaugh’s wife and son. Prosecutors are expected to appeal the decision and could seek to retry the case. Legal Analyst Jeremy Rosenthal weighs in on the case.
