KILLER LAWYER ALEX MURDAUGH: CASE REVERSED

KILLER LAWYER ALEX MURDAUGH: CASE REVERSED

Author: iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline May 7, 2026 Duration: 39:12

Alex Murdaugh could be getting a new trial. FITSNews is reporting a "reliable source" as saying the five member South Carolina Supreme Court panel has voted unanimously in favor of granting Murdaugh a new trial.  The appeal filed by Murdaugh's attorneys heavily features allegations of improper influence by former Colleton County clerk of court Rebecca "Becky" Hill during the 2023 murder trial.

The Supreme Court could uphold the convictions, send the case back to a lower court, or reverse the convictions and order a new trial. Even if a new murder trial is granted, Murdaugh is currently serving 40 years for federal financial crimes. 

A decision could take several more months.
