What the Prosecution Can’t Use Against Alex Murdaugh Now

Creighton Waters told the judge the state is ready to try Alex Murdaugh again. But the case the prosecution brings to court in April will look nothing like the one that produced a conviction in 2023. The Supreme Court ruled that the financial crimes testimony — the narrative backbone of the first trial — went too far and must be limited. Attorney General Wilson has introduced the death penalty as a possibility, a move the defense calls vindictive prosecution.

Bob Motta evaluates what the prosecution still has: the kennel video, Murdaugh’s own lies under oath, and the circumstantial evidence that produced a three-hour guilty verdict. And what it doesn’t have: the ability to spend two weeks making the defendant a villain before the jury sees the murder evidence. The David Camm precedent — where untested DNA ultimately freed a man convicted twice — hangs over the entire proceeding. Tony Brueski and Bob Motta.
