What Did the Murdaugh Defense Find Under Maggie’s Fingernails That Was Never Tested?

The kennel video destroyed Alex Murdaugh’s alibi at the first trial. Audio placed him at the dog kennels minutes before Maggie and Paul were shot. Multiple witnesses identified his voice. He admitted he lied. The jury convicted in three hours. Now Dick Harpootlian says his team has a strategy to counter it — and he won’t say what it is.

On the prosecution side, the Supreme Court has ordered the financial crimes evidence sharply curtailed. Twelve and a half hours of stolen-money testimony carried the motive narrative the first time. That presentation was ruled excessive. Creighton Waters now has to prove a double murder without the story that told the jury why. The defense is pointing to untested DNA under Maggie’s fingernails and has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Becky Hill that opens sworn deposition channels the criminal case never provided.

The retrial will look nothing like the first trial. Both sides are rebuilding. The question is which side lost more in the reset.

A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.
