WTF Is Happening With the Murdaugh Murders?

In a major development in the Murdaugh case, the South Carolina Supreme Court overturned Alex Murdaugh’s 2023 murder convictions and ordered a new trial, citing improper jury influence by former Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill. Prosecutors have stated they intend to retry the case, while Murdaugh remains incarcerated on separate financial crime convictions. 

The legal battle continues as courts address ongoing appeals, retrial preparations, and related civil litigation stemming from one of the most closely followed true crime cases in recent history.
