Alex Murdaugh gets new trial for murders of wife, son

The South Carolina Supreme Court has ruled that disgraced attorney Alex Murdaugh will be re-tried for the murders of his wife Maggie and son Paul. Maggie and Paul were shot to death on the family’s Colleton County hunting property in 2021. Murdaugh was convicted of two counts of murder after a historic six-week trial in Walterboro in 2023. He was sentenced to two life terms in the S.C. Department of Corrections.
