Summary
The once prominent low country lawyer accused of murdering his wife and son, is back in court this morning, preparing for a new trial. 59-year-old Alex Murdaugh remains behind bars after pleading guilty to state and federal financial crimes, but he maintains his innocence in the murders of his family. There will be cameras in the courtroom as his lawyers fight for more DNA testing, a change of venue and despite a lengthy back and forth with prosecutors, we will likely see Murdaugh shackled, in his prison issued jumpsuit.

| 0:07.1 | It is Monday, June 29th and a big day in court in South Carolina. |
| 0:13.0 | Alex Smyrdoch will be back in a courtroom for the first time since his murder convictions |
| 0:19.3 | were thrown out. And one of the biggest questions ahead of this |
| 0:23.6 | hearing has been, what is he going to wear? And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and |
| 0:29.7 | T.J. Roads as we speak, Alex Murda is no longer a twice convicted murderer. He's going back on |

| 0:55.8 | and his attorneys are coming with a lot of requests. A lot of requests. We wonder how many of these |
| 1:01.5 | are going to get worked out today. This is supposed to be, I guess, not an evidentiary hearing. It's |
