The murder convictions of Alex Murdaugh, who was found guilty of killing his wife and son, were overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court on May 13. In the ruling, the justices determined that there had been “shocking jury interference” by a court clerk during the former attorney's 2023 trial. Murdaugh, now 57, was previously convicted on four counts: the 2021 murders of Maggie and Paul Murdaugh, as well as two counts of possession of a weapon during a crime. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A new trial has been ordered, but in the meantime, Murdaugh will remain in jail. He pleaded guilty to stealing millions of dollars from his former clients and is still serving a 40-year sentence for his financial crimes. There has been a great amount of national interest in the case because of the family’s prestige, as well as its prior legal troubles.
