Summary

BREAKING NEWS: Alex Murdaugh WILL face a new trial. A South Carolina court has overturned the 2023 murder convictions of ex-lawyer Alex Murdaugh. Five out of five Supreme Court judges ruled that he deserved a new trial because the jury had been unfairly biased against him.

But tangled in it are the tragic deaths of three other completely innocent people, dragged in by the most powerful family in South Carolina.
