Summary
South Carolina's Supreme Court has overturned Alex Murdaugh's 2023 murder convictions for killing his wife and son, ruling that he did not receive a fair trial due to interference from Colleton County Clerk of Court Rebecca Hill. The court found that Hill "egregiously attacked Murdaugh's credibility and his defense," triggering a presumption of prejudice against the defendant. The decision overturns the life sentence Murdaugh was serving.
