South Carolina Supreme Court overturns Alex Murdaugh murder convictions

Original: Alex Murdaugh murder convictions overturned by South Carolina Supreme Court

The South Carolina Supreme Court has overturned the murder convictions of Alex Murdaugh, the disbarred lawyer previously found guilty of killing his wife Maggie and son Paul in 2021. The ruling throws out the 2023 verdicts, and attention now turns to whether prosecutors will retry him in the double-murder case.

Why now: The state's highest court just issued a surprising ruling in one of America's most closely followed criminal cases.
