Alex murdaugh next pre-trial hearing in double murder re-trial on Friday

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– Alex murdaugh’s next pre-trial hearing in the double murder re-trial is Friday, November 12, at 10 a.m. at the Lexington County Courthouse.

Last month, Judge Debra McCaslin said Murdaugh’s team can do their own tests on unidentified DNA found under his wife Maggie’s fingernails after she and her son Paul were shot to death in 2021.

Murdaugh’s double murder conviction over their deaths was overturned by the state Supreme Court which ruled former Clerk of Court Becky Hill influenced the jury.

The re-trial starts April 5 next year in Sumter.
